Chapter 71 - The Mysterious Jade
Lin Yi went to clean the table after dinner- Faubert used to take away the food containers the next morning, and someone would clean them up when they got to the hotel. Lin Yi, however, didn't like the greasy ones, and decided to clean them up.
"Shield Bro, you're a good family man- whoever marries you will be in luck! I'm going upstairs! "Yushu encouraged Lin Yi before going upstairs.
Marry me? Lin Yi felt a chill run down his spine- his first thought was that this girl had some sort of male chauvinist fetish. But Lin Yi was used to Yushu's weird antics anymore- he didn't say anything about it.
Lin Yi put the containers back into the plastic bag before turning off the lights and heading to his room.
The second five year period was drawing near, and Lin Yi was starting to get impatient. His body had changed a lot after practicing the first stage of the Art of Dragon Mastery, and his meridians were firmer than before. His agility and agility were a lot better than a normal person's as well.
In the eyes of a normal person, he'd be a master amongst masters, but this only made Lin Yi more expected- if the first stage was already like that, then what would the second and third stages be like?
Besides, what other things would there be behind the stone door of the cave, other than the subsequent parts of the Art of Dragon Mastery?
Lin Yi touched the jade pendant in front of his chest- just this pendant alone was enough to bring him endless benefits- if there were other things behind the stone door … Just the thought of it excited him!
He'd even saved the lives of his comrades and himself many times with just this pendant! Lin Yi still hadn't fully grasped the function of the pendant yet.
But the pendant's ability was very mystical- it was as if it could read his thoughts- if someone wanted to harm him within a certain range, the pendant would send him a signal, letting him know in advance.
It was because of this that Lin Yi and his comrades were able to survive the rain of bullets in the primordial forest time and time again! This was the jade pendant's early warning function.
Another function of the jade pendant was that if there was someone who he had seen before and had tried to harm him within a certain range of him, even if that person concealed his murderous intent and did not release any malicious intent towards Lin Yi for the time being, Lin Yi could use the jade pendant's signal to gradually lock onto that person's existence. The closer he got to this person, the stronger the signal from the jade pendant!
In the end, battles between experts would often turn into sneak attacks and assassinations. If the first strike failed, they would quickly retreat. They would not engage in a prolonged battle. Those who had fought with Lin Yi once, even if they escaped under the cover of Lin Yi, were still somehow found and killed by Lin Yi.
As a result, Lin Yi's teammates called him "Eagle". An eagle was an animal that rarely got away once it set its eyes on its prey.
Of course, the jade had many other extensions- it could warn him of bad things, and it could warn him of good things as well. It was just that the signal was different, and Lin Yi didn't know how the jade was affecting him, but he didn't know how it was affecting him. At least the people around him weren't affected at all.
But the signals that Lin Yi had figured out were only these three. Under other circumstances, the jade would also send out other signals, but Lin Yi didn't know what they meant, nor did he know what triggered the reaction from the jade.
Yushu went upstairs and pushed open the door to Mengyao's room. Mengyao was curled up on the bed eating chips, an English textbook on her lap, marking today's exam papers.
"Eating too many snacks will affect your growth." Yushu looked at Mengyao with a smile, remembering what happened to Lin Yi before. Her smile widened.
"What are you smiling at?" Mengyao was confused by Yushu's smile, feeling uncomfortable all over. She looked at herself from head to toe, but didn't see anything wrong with her. Wasn't it just a bag of chips? Was Yushu mocking her chest for not being as big as Mengyao's?
"Yao Yao, let me tell you something fun! I've avenged you! "Yushu sat on the bed sneakily, snatching the bag of chips from Mengyao's hands.
"Didn't you say that eating snacks will affect your growth?" Mengyao glared at her. "What revenge? Why are you being so secretive? "
"Hehe, I've developed very well. My height is very balanced already!" Yushu popped a chip into her mouth nonchalantly. "I called Shield Bro over for dinner after you left just now, you know what?! Then, I told him to sit at your seat, told him that I've already filled his bowl, and he ate it … "
"What's wrong with that … Ah? You're not trying to say that he ate my leftover bowl of rice, are you? "Mengyao's eyes widened.
"He even used your chopsticks!" Yushu said proudly. "What do you think? Now that he ate your saliva, he's avenged you, right?"
"What nonsense!" Mengyao shook her head. "Isn't he still taking advantage of me?"
"I …" Yushu thought to herself. You ate his saliva, so you're taking advantage of him? But thinking about it, that was indeed the case. If it were any other boy in school, they'd probably be happy about it!
"Alright, let's not talk about him." Mengyao was a little annoyed, and didn't want to talk about Lin Yi. "Aren't you going to tidy up the mistakes in the English test?"
"Yeah, I'll do it now." Yushu stopped joking around and took out the test papers from her bag. She started tidying them up with Mengyao.
Mengyao and Yushu weren't stupid, but it was useless if they didn't work hard. Mengyao and Yushu were still working hard, especially since Mengyao didn't want people to say that she'd gotten into a top class in a top school because of her family background.
After tidying up the English test papers, the two went to study for other subjects. They were twelfth graders, after all, and would be taking the college entrance exams soon. It wouldn't be hard for Mengyao and Yushu to get into a top university with their family background, but it was different if they got in themselves.
It wasn't early anymore, and Mengyao yawned. Yushu, on the other hand, was a little sleepy as well. The two of them took a hot shower in the bathroom, and after watching an episode of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf on their MP4, they fell asleep right after.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, practiced the Art of Dragon Mastery the entire night, replenishing his stamina after a night of training. It was more than enough for a few hours of deep sleep.
It was already five in the morning when Lin Yi opened his eyes and let out a breath of turbid air. Lin Yi went to the washroom to wash up. He wouldn't watch TV this morning no matter what.
