Xia Linyuan looked at Dou Le's face, which had been black as a symbol of justice, then turned green as a symbol of anger, and then black again. He pondered for a while and said, "Then I need to find my father."
His dark face suddenly turned green: "Hey, kid, are you never going to stop?! Do you think I'm easy to bully and are pushing your luck?! If you want the company to do things for you, pay up! Don't think the company is your private property."
Xia Linyuan said crisply, "I don't have money. I can earn it."
"Singing operas makes money! Let me tell you, the company's fees start at ten million! You'd better go to the orphanage instead!"
Dou Le has very little patience for such an uncooperative child.
Xia Linyuan looked aggrieved, his handsome face almost scrunched up in a frown. He said pitifully, "I can't sing opera anymore. If I sing opera, my father and grandfather will abandon me..."
Dr. Hua, who has a granddaughter and is about the same age as Xia Linyuan, felt sorry for Xia Linyuan and yelled at Dou Le, "Can't you speak more gently? He's just a child!"
Upon hearing this, a subtle smile appeared on Xiao Zizai's face, who had been silent all along. 'Old Dou, you've been played by this kid. He can see through your character, which is why he dares to act so recklessly. You calm down, he becomes aggressive; you become aggressive, he pretends to be cowardly… Heh, what an interesting kid…'
"Then you tell this kid that I'm busy and don't have time to waste on him. He's just ungrateful."
Dou Le shook the hair off his head, took out his phone and scrolled through it, then sighed.
Why are you sighing?
A child's voice rang in his ears, and Dou Le turned his head to look. It was Xia Linyuan standing on a stool, looking at his phone just like him.
Dou Le turned off his phone screen. He looked at Dr. Hua and asked, "How did he get here...?"
Dr. Hua shrugged: "Ghost Step."
“Old Dou, I think you shouldn’t just investigate this kid’s background and physique. You should also test his skills and knowledge level,” Xiao Zizai said elegantly, adjusting his glasses.
"This kid's speech and behavior don't seem like those of an eight-year-old at all."
Dou Le's expression also turned serious. Because of his young age, everyone overlooked this.
If someone is truly extraordinary, then extraordinary individuals require extraordinary methods of handling them...

[East China Region Nadutong Employee File (Confidential)]
Name: Xia Linyuan
【Sex: Male】
[Age: 19 years old]
[Home address: Yexiang Yexiantou Village, Yanjiangxian County, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province (This is purely fictional; any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.)]
Results of a twelve-year observational study on Xia Linyuan's physical and mental state
During the few months that Xia Linyuan was taken to East China by Xiao Tianting (pseudonym can be verified), we conducted a series of tests on his physical condition, mental state, Taoist skills, magic, and so on.
The research indicates that Xia Linyuan suffers from severe central nervous system disorder. In the practice of older generations of extraordinary individuals instructing newcomers, they often train them with stricter requirements, neglecting the newcomers' physical condition; Xia Linyuan is a prime example. Due to his innate, extraordinary observational abilities, the continued strict demands from his master resulted in an overemphasis on observation.
The psychological trauma stemmed from the greed among the villagers: years of living with his father and grandfather, two stable and extraordinary individuals, instilled in Xia Linyuan a flawed value system, leading him to believe that only a minority of extraordinary individuals were the normal people in the world. After his father and grandfather disappeared, the stark contrast between the good intentions and greed of ordinary people he encountered distorted his perspective, causing him to closely link what he observed with his beloved opera, and to stereotype the characters and emotions he observed as facial makeup and colors from Peking Opera.
To address this obstacle, we placed him with Xiao Tianting, who was closest to him. We entrusted her with educating and guiding him through this psychological barrier, hoping he could overcome and master this ability. Several months later, their relationship warmed, forming a delicate bond. After that, Xia Linyuan became Xiao Tianting's apprentice.
After six years of observation, the symptoms had not improved. Therefore, we made a bold decision. Because his environment and contact with other people for the past four years had remained entirely with those who were superhuman, we were unable to instill a complete value system in him. So, we sent him to school to experience the lives of ordinary people. Although Xia Linyuan developed an extremely strong aversion to this, we had no other choice. However, we implemented ample security measures to prevent any incidents of Xia Linyuan suddenly attacking or harming anyone.
First year of mortal life: Xia Linyuan experienced severe vomiting and became emaciated.
Second year of mortal life: vomiting.
Year three of mortal life: Things started to improve, and he began to talk to people. He later learned that the person was from the Ye family of Peach Blossom Garden.
Fourth year of ordinary life: Refusal to engage in conversation, reason: "Humans are too ignorant, too confused, their mental energy is severely depleted, they are incomplete and lack vitality, and they can learn nothing except lewd jokes. Garbage information is piling up and taking up brain memory."
Year 5 of ordinary life: His worldview is gradually becoming more complete. He no longer sees ordinary people as devils. He has excellent grades and is the top student in the area. The researchers are very pleased and hope that their son will become a dragon.
Sixth year of ordinary life: Psychological barriers are gradually breaking down; able to control the intensity of observation. Currently a student in the Finance Department at Tsinghua University. A bright future awaits! [Not being allowed to return to the supernatural community to avoid a relapse of the condition; continued observation is ongoing.]

Highlights: [Acting as a Person] With sufficient intelligence and based on one's understanding, completely mimic the target's behavior, thoughts, and language, and predict the target's next move. (Multiple times helped the company and temporary workers complete tasks.)
【Great Compassion Palm】: The palm is pushed out, creating a huge palm-shaped pressure in front of the body. Its effect is not aimed at killing, but at suppressing the opponent as a whole (taught by Xiao Zizai).
【Finger Finger】: When the two fingers come together, a small gravitational vortex is generated between them. The user can control the direction of the gravitational force to attract different parts of the opponent. The opening and closing of the two fingers is directly proportional to the range of the gravitational force, while the range and strength of the gravitational force are inversely proportional (taught by Xiao Zizai).
【Dragon Claw Hand】: By channeling Qi into the fingers, one gains unimaginable finger strength, capable of tearing steel like mud. (Taught by Xiao Zizai)
【Dragon Sucking Water】: The Dragon Claw Hand technique utilizes the Flicking Flower Finger, a finger technique performed by opening and closing all five fingers. Its suction power far exceeds that of the regular Flicking Flower Finger. (Taught by Xiao Zizai)

Chapter 11 The Source of Qi
Tsinghua University
The April wind blows, carrying with it the fragrance of flowers.
A refined young man sat upright by the window, intently reading a book, a faint smile playing on his lips. His exquisite features were captivating, more beautiful than any woman's.
The girl next to him would blush just by looking at him.
Because Xia Linyuan was so handsome, no one approached him within three feet except for a fat man wearing a pink mesh shirt.
The fat guy was his roommate.
His name is Zang Long, and he is an outsourced employee of the Lu family.
Through his own efforts, he was admitted to Tsinghua University. However, after investigating his roommates, he discovered that two of them were not ordinary people.
One of them is Feng Xingtong, the young master of the World Society.
One of them is a company employee!
Most importantly, his personnel file was completely blank. A company employing an idle person—he's probably the son of a high-ranking official!
Despite having numerous friends throughout the country and having established an intelligence network, they were unable to find any of his sons.
Feeling the intense gazes around him, Zang Long swallowed hard and said under the pressure, "Yuan'er, you can't even sing opera, so why do you always love reading opera scripts?"
Xia Linyuan closed the script, looked at Zang Long and smiled slightly, saying, "I can sing opera, and my heart has always been in opera."
Zang Long felt as if his heart had skipped a beat.
He was very polite; he even closed his book and looked at me while he spoke.
No wonder he's so handsome!
"Haha, I see. So why did you go straight to the opera academy, or apply for a performance major?" Zang Long scratched the back of his head and laughed. A slight blush even flashed across his chubby face.
Xia Linyuan remained respectful: "Actually, I only know Tsinghua University and Peking University. As for choosing finance as my major, it's because I heard it's a lucrative field..."
Ding Dong
A phone notification sound
"Sorry. Let's talk later." Xia Linyuan took out his phone and checked the messages.
[We'll talk later... What will we talk about later?!]
Zang Long felt conflicted and actually took out his phone to look up chat strategies.
Just as he was getting even more into his investigation, his intelligence network's small group suddenly erupted in activity.
Zang Long swallowed hard and leaned over to tell Xia Linyuan, but he was dumbfounded when he saw Xia Linyuan's phone screen.
Master Xiao: [Selfie] (Zang Long couldn't see his face, only his workout clothes) [Xiao Yuan, how do I look today?]
Xia Linyuan: [Master, please wait a moment. I'm still loading.]
Master Xiao: [Okay (smiley face)]
Xia Linyuan: [Master is in very good spirits today. The prayer beads on his forehead are still there. ( )]
Master Xiao: [Really? But I've been feeling really irritable lately, like I'm losing control. I can't reach Lao Dou either. Do you have anyone there?]
Xia Linyuan: [Master, I'm at school (smiley face)]
Master Xiao: [Sigh (disappointed)]
Zang Long was dumbfounded. Could Yuan'er, who was so handsome, be a pimp...?
at this time
Xia Linyuan's cool voice pulled Zang Long back to reality from his screen-peeping. "Zang Long, is something urgent?"
Zang Long blinked innocently, clearing his mind of the filth, then handed over the phone and whispered, "Ah, there it is! Yuan'er, take a look at this! Zhang Chulan, the successor of the Qi Body Source Path!"
Xia Linyuan's pupils contracted as he took the phone. He clicked on the link and looked at the article, which resembled a private report. A photo was placed in the center of the article. It seemed to be taken from a candid angle; it was a photo of Zhang Chulan and a gentle red-haired girl.
