Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Trouble at the Wang Family (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)

In the next moment, the environment changed again, and Lin Xi returned to the room filled with Spiritual Qi.

This time Lin Xi was not surprised, instead, he showed a look of ’just as expected’, as if confirming what he had just thought.

"This isn’t just any room!" Lin Xi thought to himself.

It’s the function of the Jade Pendant on his chest. He obtained this Jade Pendant along with the Xuanyuan Divine Dragon Technique, and since acquiring it, he hadn’t figured out its use.

To put it another way, its function is similar to the ancient mythological Xumi Seed, seemingly small but containing a space large enough to easily hold a mountain.

Of course, the space inside this Jade Pendant is far smaller than the legendary Xumi Seed, only about ten square meters.

However, such legendary items, even if only one square meter, are priceless Divine Artifacts.

"Let’s first see if it can store things or if it’s only for my cultivation." Thinking of this, Lin Xi couldn’t wait to experiment.

With a thought, Lin Xi returned to his dormitory the next moment.

He reached into his pocket and felt a ring, which was Su Qiaoqiao’s.

"In!" Lin Xi looked at the ring in his hand and thought to himself.

In an instant, the ring in his hand vanished into thin air.

Afterward, Lin Xi tried a lot of things, all of which could be stored in the Jade Pendant Space, and he casually grasped some other techniques.

For example, by concentrating on the Jade Pendant, he could clearly see everything inside the space without his entire consciousness entering it as before.

Putting things in and taking them out was just a thought away for him.

He even found a living being outside the dormitory, discovering that this space was ineffective for living beings, which was his only regret about the space.

But people should be content; nothing is perfect.

In fact, the most important function of this Jade Pendant for Lin Xi is not to store things, but Spiritual Qi.

Only by strengthening his own power is the true path.

Lin Xi happily hung the Jade Pendant around his neck again, stored some important items like silver needles, bank cards, and so on, into the space.

At this moment, Peng Bo and the other two returned, drenched. They had a basketball in hand and greeted Lin Xi before each of them went to take a shower.

After they finished up, Lin Xi said, "Second and third, you’re in the same class as Gu Xiaoxian, right? Find out who’s been troubling her recently."

"What’s up, boss? Who’s bullying the big sister-in-law?" Peng Bo, sitting on the bench, nearly jumped up and shouted, "Who’s looking for death?"

"Beat him to death!" Old Third Xiong Haitao suddenly became angry.

Meanwhile, Old Fourth, the bespectacled one, was the calmest and asked with some confusion, "Boss, what’s going on exactly?"

After all, he observed that the boss’s expression wasn’t that urgent.

"Here’s what happened." Lin Xi recounted the incident he encountered at the school gate to Peng Bo and the other two.

Both Peng Bo and Xiong Haitao nodded, expressing that they would find out which bastard was so ignorant.

Then, the four went out to eat and found a barbecue place. Lin Xi ordered enough food for a dozen people, startling Peng Bo and the other two for a good while.

But when the food was ready and Lin Xi started eating voraciously, the three instantly understood; the boss is the boss after all, eating several times more than all of them combined!

While eating, Old Fourth mentioned that their class had two programs for the freshman welcome event: a skit and a solo performance.

However, this had nothing to do with Lin Xi or him, as there were many others in the class who signed up, and the class leader had confirmed who would perform.

Finally, they ate until eleven at night, with Lin Xi paying the bill since he didn’t lack money now.

When they returned to the dormitory to sleep, Lin Xi didn’t sit cross-legged to cultivate but laid on the bed, intending to cultivate by entering the Jade Pendant Space.

When he tried cultivating again, he still found it had no effect.

Exiting the Jade Pendant Space, Lin Xi wondered about how the Jade Pendant’s function was suddenly activated, thinking, "Could it be breaking through to the late stage of Xuanyuan Divine Dragon Technique’s first level?"

"Or was it when I was unconscious, and some blood dripped on the Jade Pendant?"

Besides these two possibilities, he really couldn’t think of any other reason.

The first possibility seemed larger; after all, that’s how fantasy stories often described it. However, he was already involved in a very fantastical matter.

For example, who would believe he had something akin to a Xumi Seed? Who would believe that someone so young could reach the level of a Peak Soldier King?

Lin Xi didn’t dwell on it further and stopped cultivating, as it wasn’t effective, preferring instead to get some sleep.

After all, ever since acquiring the Xuanyuan Divine Dragon Technique, he hadn’t slept at night, always remaining in a state of cultivation.

The next morning, Lin Xi, as usual, got up on time, ignoring the three who slept like dead pigs, and after washing up, prepared to go out for breakfast.

Last night, Second Brother kept recommending a rice noodle shop outside the canteen for breakfast, claiming it was awesome, with an authentic Xiangnan flavor, spicy and refreshing, urging Lin Xi to try it.

Lin Xi arrived at the street food section near the school gate, finding that apart from a few breakfast shops open, the rest were still closed.

He found the rice noodle shop, which wasn’t too big or small, with about ten tables that could accommodate over thirty people.

At this time, seven or eight people were eating, mostly construction worker masters from nearby building sites.

"In Tangjia Garden, seven or eight police cars went in early this morning," one of the construction workers chatted with his companion.

At those words, everyone at the table looked at him.

"What happened?"

"How would I know? We can’t even enter places like that."

"True, anyone living there isn’t worth less than tens of millions, if not billions."

"I bet it’s something major. I heard there are many psychopathic killers in the city, especially in the wealthy classes."

"Don’t talk nonsense; I know about it." Another construction worker seated inside replied in a low voice, "I’m hometown buddies with the neighborhood security guard. I asked about it while passing by."

"But don’t mention this to anyone else."

Everyone quickly nodded, eagerly waiting to hear more.

Seeing that the shop wasn’t crowded and everyone was seated far apart, the construction worker hesitated before continuing, "My buddy said someone in that neighborhood was kidnapped last night."

"And it was the wealthiest family in that neighborhood. It’s said to be a beautiful girl."

"Seems like their surname is Wang...,"

Although he spoke very softly and was several meters away from Lin Xi, Lin Xi could hear it clearly due to his hearing.

Yet, he wasn’t very interested in this gossip and didn’t pay much attention.

Right then, as Lin Xi sat down, the lady boss brought over the menu, asking what he would like.

"Surname Wang? Tangjia Garden? Could it be such a coincidence?"

Lin Xi couldn’t help frowning, stood up, apologized to the lady boss, and directly left the shop heading straight to Tangjia Garden.
