Chapter 65 Observation
"The good news is, it's done."

"Six days from now, at 8:00 AM, you'll take off from the fake dock at Baishuitou. As long as you're at sea, you can fly however you want. They'll handle the route for you."

Liu Ke nodded and asked Xu Si: "What about the bad news?"

Xu Si sighed, his face darkening. He took a deep drag on his cigarette and then said, "The problem is finding the 'bridge' that Ren Fei built."

"When we were collaborating, I boasted a little bit, saying that you could build an airplane. I didn't expect her to take it seriously."

"Then... when Ren Fei was talking to them, she mentioned the bragging I did on your behalf."

Then Xu Si made a face as if he had eaten shit and said, "Now... they are very interested in your ability and said they want to watch you fly."

"..."

Liu Ke couldn't help but twitch his face. Although the result was an unexpected success and things were going in line with his plan, he still felt that the process was a bit far-fetched.

"Fourth brother, you are too..."

Xu Si drank some mineral water, coughed a few times, and asked, "Will it affect you?"

Liu Ke shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter, just let me fly."

Xu Si nodded, then narrowed his eyes and asked, "Can you really build an airplane with your current ability?"

Liu Ke raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, there are some differences, but they are almost the same."

Xu Si breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. Whatever airplane you want, a paper airplane will do."

"Three days later, we will gather at Baishuitou. They said... an observer will come and connect with us."

After communicating with Xu Si, Liu Ke went out and met up with Feng Baobao and the others. They took a bus back to school together.

After getting off the car, Liu Ke went straight to his laboratory to sort out the matters at hand.

"Blackwall, is the [Prosthetic] work finished?"

"Master, the final debugging of the two sets of [prosthetics] has been completed."

"Okay, get the production specifications for the automatic turret. We need to install one as soon as possible."

"Also, remind me to make some changes to the armor."

…………

Just when Liu Ke was tinkering with his armor and updating it as much as possible, Zhang Chulan had some "trouble".

"Master, Zhang Chulan has been kidnapped."

Listening to the black wall's prompt, Liu Ke couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Although it is common for a 'protagonist' to encounter various 'unexpected events', the number of times he is 'kidnapped' is too high.

You finish your performance and I take the stage? Why is Zhang Chulan like Nie Feng's mother Yan Ying? They both want him?

After taking a quick look at Zhang Chulan's situation, Liu Ke said to the black wall, "Tell Sister Bao to try to separate the hand armor now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Black Wall reported Zhang Chulan's 'yet another' attack to Feng Baobao via artificial voice.

At the same time, the hand connection of the Mark II armor placed in the middle of the laboratory suddenly broke, and the hand armor fell to the ground.

Liu Ke looked at the effect, nodded, and then reconnected the hand armor to the whole body.

"Foot armor, separation test."

...............

In a conference room on the third floor of the North China branch of NaDuTong, the lights were still on. Xu San took a cup of coffee, sipped it, then closed his eyes and asked, "Did you find out?"

Xu Si, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, had a worried look on his face. He didn't say anything, but just nodded.

Xu San didn't hear any sound, so he had to open his eyes again.

Seeing Xu Laosi's expression, he sighed and finally couldn't help asking, "Then tell me, I've never seen you so fond of keeping things secret before."

Xu Si flicked the ash onto the ground and said, "Keeping me in suspense? I was thinking about something else."

Xu San glared at him and asked bluntly, "What's going on with Zhang Chulan and his grandfather Zhang Xilin? Why do father and baby pay so much attention to them?"

"You have enough authority now. Don't tell me you didn't do anything during the day?"

Xu Si sighed again and said, "I found out a little bit. The method that Zhang Xilin passed on to Zhang Chulan is, if nothing unexpected happens, the unique secret method of the Tianshi Mansion of the Zhengyi School in Longhu Mountain, Jiangxi Province, the Golden Light Mantra."

Then, Xu Si pointed to his temple and continued, "Think about it with your simple brain. If you were an acquired extraordinary person and were passing on a method to your descendants, what kind of method would you pass on?"

Xu San thought for a moment and said, "The strongest, or... the fundamental method."

"So, according to you, Zhang Xilin is from Longhu Mountain? The list of all the disciples from Longhu Mountain is public. Wouldn't we know if we just check it out?"

Xu Si took a puff of his cigarette and said, "I checked, and that name isn't on the Longhu Mountain roster."

Xu San frowned and said, "Any Dharma method will inevitably be spread to outsiders. Perhaps Zhang Xilin's Golden Light Mantra was leaked out."

Xu Si nodded and said, "Your idea is not impossible, but... take a look at this."

After saying this, he threw a piece of paper at Xu San: "Quan Xing spread the news that Zhang Chulan is the heir of the 'Qi Body Origin Flow' all over the world yesterday."

"This morning, the Tianshi Mansion issued a statement within the community. They will hold the Luotian Grand Ceremony in a month to publicly select the next Tianshi successor."

"And Zhang Chulan is among the specially invited guests."

"This also means that Zhang Chulan's grandfather must have some connection to the Tianshi Mansion. In my opinion, Zhang Xilin is someone that the Tianshi Mansion is deliberately 'hiding'."

Xu San looked at the statement and almost spit out his coffee. After a while, he wiped his mouth and clothes and asked in confusion, "So what do you mean by 'regret'?"

Xu Si took a puff of his cigarette and said, "After I told my baby and dad about this, they both said they would help Zhang Chulan win the Heavenly Master selection."

"You know what the alien world is like. I have no doubt that if Bao Bao teaches that kid for a month, he will make rapid progress, but it won't be enough."

"At least we have to arrange some 'thugs' to clear the obstacles for Zhang Chulan."

"Baby can be a thug himself, and Liu Ke could be one too. But this afternoon, I let him go."

Xu San asked doubtfully, "Let him go? What does that mean? Did another district or headquarters come to borrow someone? They shouldn't specify who they're going to borrow, right?"

Xu Si frowned and replied, "That's not the case. It's Liu Ke's own business. He said he wants to go abroad."

"Then, I helped him a little and found a suitable channel for him to get out."

"But I don't know how long he'll be gone, and whether he can make it to the Luotian Grand Ceremony in a month."

Xu San shook his head and said, "The Luotian Grand Ceremony is to select a Heavenly Master, not to recruit assassins. We're going up there to compete, not risk our lives."

"Liu Ke's ability is indeed useful, he can conjure up a gun, but he can't just randomly shoot at the other contestants at the Luotian Grand Ceremony, right?"

Hearing this, Xu Si rolled his eyes at Xu San and asked curiously, "Didn't Liu Ke go when Zhang Chulan was kidnapped a few days ago?"

"Didn't you see how he did it?"
