I'm just an assistant, I don't save people

"Hmm?" she asked doubtfully, "Doesn't your sister have dragon attributes? She should be able to feel the power of dragons often. What are you afraid of?"

Qin Jialin sighed: "That's why I'm still worried. This is Shen Huan's territory. They found a secret dragon place."

Your surname is Shen?

Lin Yan suddenly remembered the Shen family, who were engaged to Zhuang Lu, and the maid outside had just mentioned breaking off the engagement. "They? Does that mean Shen Huan is colluding with the Dark Sect?"

"Not only Shen Huan, but also Shen Hai, the Qin family, Wei Xi, and the Divine Talisman Academy are inside."

Qin Jialin flipped through the research records and saw the list in the middle with a serious expression.

"Eh? You are also an accomplice." Lin Yan glanced at the book on the table and picked up a stack of information.

Laboratory defense deployment.

"I'm not capable of being their accomplice," Qin Jialin said. "I just finished reading your copy, so I asked you to come over. You can't get into this place without mental skills."

Lin Yan flipped through a few pages of paper and threw them back when he couldn't understand them.

The protection and tracking formations, talisman layouts, etc. here are all high-level.

The embarrassing thing is that she only knows low-level skills.

Lin Yan touched his ear and said calmly, "There are so many forces in the city interfering in this. If I want to eliminate those people, what can you do to help me?"

Qin Jialin was slightly stunned and asked in confusion: "You want to deal with everyone? The one who wanted to kill you was Wei Xi, but he is already dead."

He suddenly realized, then belatedly said, "Weren't you sent by the academy to gain experience and kill dark humans?"

"Have you ever heard of luring a tiger away from its mountain?"

"What do you mean?"

Lin Yan said, "They're using the Dark Element to attract the attention of the people in the city, allowing them to enter the secret realm to seek opportunities. My death is insignificant, like an ant dying in this city; it won't cause any waves. I'll die suddenly one day like Nie Zhou and Ming Tian. This is part of their plan. With my current abilities, I can't retaliate. The academy wasn't built for me alone."

Qin Jialin looked at her and murmured in thought: "Is that so?"

Lin Yan didn't hear his words and said in a deep voice: "But I won't wait for death. As long as I can eliminate the threat to my life, even if it's just a little bit, I'm willing to try."

he mused.

Seeing him stunned, Lin Yan asked, "What are you doing?"

Qin Jialin turned around, looking down at the paper calmly, flipping through a few pages, and said, "Wei Xi's name was added later. I think he didn't know about the secret realm when he made the deal with you."

"Of course." Lin Yan said, "He's not that stupid. How could he casually reveal information about his allies to a junior student?"

"He probably wanted to establish a relationship with Nanheng College, but he didn't want all the dark humans to be focused on him, so he spread the news of my purchase to attract some attention. If Nanheng College really blames him, he can just push his employees out. After all, he has the Divine Talisman College and the Alliance behind him, so Nanheng won't pursue it."

Qin Jialin asked, "Then how do you think Wei Xi discovered the secret realm?"

"The Shen family's sudden marriage proposal is unusual. First it was Zhuang Lu, and then it was Qin Shu. I don't know the situation of your Qin family, but getting engaged to Zhuang Lu is too strange."

"I guess if he finds out later, the Shen and Qin families will be forced to recruit him into the alliance. I think... I should know where the entrance to this secret realm is."

Qin Jialin and Lin Yan said in unison: "Xunshan Town."

She leaned over and took a look. "Is there anything written inside?"

"No, Qin Shu and I lived there when we were little."

Lin Yan pondered and asked, "Is there something special about the secret realm that led to their selection?"

"The holder of the dragon attribute is the key to unlocking the secret realm. I was also wondering why the Shen family was willing to let Shen Linji marry."

"The key?" She suddenly realized. "That makes it clear."

"Nie Lingyun?"

On a piece of paper full of names, it ranks first.

Lin Yan asked doubtfully, "His last name is Nie. Is he related to Nie Zhou?"

"Yes." Qin Jialin nodded and replied, "He and Nie Zhou are half-brothers and are also members of the Hunting Alliance. This Nie Lingyun is more cunning than Wei Xi and will be a formidable enemy for you."

Lin Yan wrote down the man's name and looked around. "Is there anything else I need to check in this place? Are there any dark habits?"

Qin Jialin put the research records back to their original place, carefully compared them with their previous placement, and slightly moved the papers on the table.

After confirming that everything was ok, he pointed to the water tank and said, "This."

Lin Yan felt his eyes go dark. What habit could this reveal?

"Don't you think this smell is familiar?"

Hearing this, Lin Yan released his hand that was covering his nose and sniffed carefully.

Amid the stench of decay, there is a slight smell of burning and a very faint smell that cannot be detected at all if you don't distinguish carefully.

"Mr. Chen smells like a puppet. What's the other smell?"

She didn't pay attention at first because her attention was all on the blood rose, and she thought it was the smell of the lantern.

This should be the smell that Blood Rose smelled.

Qin Jialin: "Ashes."

!!!

Lin Yan's pupils dilated slightly, and he quickly covered his nose. "Do all dark-type humans have noses?"

Qin Jialin chuckled and explained, "Ashes have no smell, and it's difficult for cultivators to distinguish them from so many other smells."

"Then how do you tell the difference?"

"As a bonus to high-level spiritual skills," Qin Jialin pointed to his eyes, "all five senses will be quite sharp."

Lin Yan was embarrassed. Although she could smell it, she had too little experience and knowledge to be able to tell the difference at all.

"Then can you tell what skill the dark type used on the seaside highway?"

"The remains left after high-temperature melting are similar to magma, but also carry gravity. It's a hybrid skill with two attributes."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yan made a gesture to silence him, "Shh."

Qin Jialin also felt something strange.

somebody is coming.

The two looked at each other, and Lin Yan instantly activated the teleportation array.

The golden halo spread out, and the next second the two of them arrived at the tree.

Before Qin Jialin could stand firmly, a talisman was stuffed into his arms.

"Go back to the other side."

Almost at the same time, Lin Yan used the replacement symbol to return to the villa.

Qin Jialin followed closely behind, and after landing, he immediately applied the secret talisman.

The process was extremely quick, and soon an invisible pressure spread throughout the entire manor.

Sure enough, the formation attracted the attention of the manor owner, who checked one by one, but found no suspicious person.

The sea breeze blew, the leaves rustled, and two leaves slowly fell from the tree.

research room.

"Bang!" A black shadow kicked the door in hurriedly.

First, he looked for traces of the intruder in the laboratory, then immediately turned back to check the data and the condition of the water tank.

He slammed the table angrily, "Damn it, someone actually got in."

Soon.

A man in a suit appeared from mid-air, landed gently on the ground, and walked in slowly.

The shadow asked, "Where are the people?"

"He's already run away. It's a teleportation array."

The black shadow thought of something and said, "It's that Lin Yan!"

"Shen Huan, that's not right, she must still be here."

Shen Huan's eyes suddenly turned icy cold under his gold-rimmed glasses. "How can you be sure it's her? Let me make it clear in advance that her life must belong to me."

The shadow suddenly tensed up and he asked someone to deal with it.

But there was no sound coming out, so he must be alive.

Why did Shen Huan want her life?

The shadow said to him, "I won't touch her for now."

How can we be sure that today's intruder is her...

Indeed, it is impossible to determine the exact number of people by just relying on a teleportation array. Who among the array masters in the world doesn't know how to do it?

Dark Shadow: "We must investigate who came in. This person will become a threat to our entry into the secret realm."

"No need for your nonsense. I know the seriousness of the matter." Shen Huan glanced at the information on the table. "The intruder didn't touch anything. If he had the ability to get in, why did he risk being discovered and use the formation to escape?"

"What do you mean? Do you think I exposed this place on purpose?" The black shadow naturally understood what he meant.

"If you did it on purpose, that would make sense."

The black shadow was startled, the scene just now flashed through his mind, and he turned to look at the door.

His face was filled with disbelief, and just as he reached the door, the intruder used the teleportation array to leave.

Obviously, she noticed he was outside, so...

"I have 40,000-year-old golden invisible snake scales on my body, and my invisibility skill is always on. How is that possible?!"

He really didn't want to believe that he had been exposed. This invisibility skill was his trump card.

Once a problem occurs, subsequent actions will be difficult to carry out.

Shen Huan looked at the water tank. "That doesn't make sense. If the other party is a top cultivator over level 200, there's no reason for him to run away when he sees you. But if he's not a high-level cultivator, how did he find you?"

The shadow tried hard to think, but couldn't figure out what was going on.

Wei Xi is a rigid person. Once he enters the secret realm, he will have many opponents.

Regardless of whether he revealed the traces of the Dark Element or was an ally in entering the secret realm, he could not be allowed to live.

"The Divine Talisman Academy spent six million to acquire this snake scale at an auction. The middleman was Wei Xi. There's something wrong with this snake scale. I'm afraid both the Shen family and the alliance need to give an explanation."

Shen Huan said coldly: "Let's pretend that what happened today never happened."

"Of course." The black shadow nodded.

It is the Shen family and the alliance that maintain the auction house. If the auction house profits, both parties will make a lot of money.

But they would not interfere with the auction house's business openly, which allowed Wei Xi to gradually accumulate connections and reputation.

They thought that the more successful Wei Xi was in business, the more money they would make, but the reality was that he gradually became stronger and out of their control.

Otherwise, how could Wei Xi, a small manager, have the opportunity to sit on an equal footing with people like Han Changyi, Shen Huan, and Qin Peixu?

He would not expose this fact. These hypocritical guys were even more shocking than the unscrupulous businessmen in their methods. They always managed to take advantage of the situation and gain the most benefits.

It was obvious that Shen Huan was very satisfied with his attitude. Without further inquiry, he said, "Move as soon as possible. This place is no longer safe."

The black shadow waved his hand and immediately called the puppet to move.

Shen Huan had just left the laboratory and came to the hall when he ran into Shen Linji talking to the housekeeper.

"What just happened?"

"Master, maybe there's a thief trying to steal something."

"That thief must be starving. This broken building is empty. What is there to steal?" Shen Linji was puzzled.

Then, with a dark face, he said, "Let's organize a charity rescue event nearby to prevent them from running into other people's homes every day."

The housekeeper looked embarrassed: "But Master... we have never been involved in charity work. If we organize a charity event, people will think we are scammers. What excuse can we use to hold it?"

Shen Huan said, "It's to celebrate my level breakthrough."

The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lijian, pack your things and won't be here again."

Shen Linji nodded without asking any further questions and went back to his room to get his things.

If they won't come here anymore, this place will basically be deserted. The housekeeper understood what he meant and then notified everyone.

This manor doesn't need a maid, and she doesn't need to come from tomorrow.

"what?"

"why is it like this?"

"Then what should we do? It's the end of the year, where can we find a job?"

Anyway, this father and son are a weird couple, at least they have a high salary.

"Don't you usually like to complain about your boss? Now's your chance, leave."

The housekeeper waved his hand, his attitude firm, "Hurry and pack your things."

The maids cried out in pain and reluctantly formed a team to go back and pack up their things.

"I'm going to use the bathroom."

"Hey, Qiu Yue."

Qiu Yue turned and walked into the corridor, heading towards the bathroom, when suddenly a scream came from the front.

Her body was shaking as she walked carefully along the wall. A bloody smell came from her.

Meng'er!

Qiu Yue quickly covered her mouth and stood behind a vase decoration against the wall.

Meng'er collapsed on the sink in fear, with a vicious man standing in front of her.

He tore the flesh from Meng'er's abdomen with his mouth, like a monster hunting for food, biting it hard, chewing it into pieces and swallowing it raw.

Witnessing this scene, Qiu Yue felt sick to his stomach.

Meng'er's frightened eyes seemed frozen, staring straight ahead.

Her body remained motionless, allowing the man to bite her.

"Didn't I tell you not to eat the people here?"

The sound that appeared out of nowhere made the man pause.

"I can't help it. I haven't eaten in a long time. And this place is exposed. He has so many maids. I can eat a few without anyone noticing."

"It's best to exercise some restraint."

"Do you think he doesn't eat enough?"

Qiu Yue couldn't see the other person, but she could hear everything very clearly.

eat human?

What on earth had I entered?

Her face changed drastically and she slowly backed away, feeling extremely panicked and eager to leave this damn place.

So there is no boss in the world who would pay high wages for easy work. It turns out that he does it to fatten you up.

I don't want to die.

The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. She left the bathroom and ran quickly.

Little did they know that due to the level gap, they could still hear the anxious footsteps even from a long distance.

There are already many maids in the manor, so it is not surprising to hear a few noises nearby.

But in order to monitor every move in the manor, he had clearly instructed Shen Huan not to let anyone run around in the manor.

The black shadow turned around suddenly, his face terribly gloomy, and immediately sent a message to Shen Huan: "There is something wrong with your people."

"I understand." Shen Huan said calmly.

A strong wind instantly swept through the castle, and the maids who were still tidying up were blown away, and they acted without hesitation.

"Ahhh!"

Screams spread from the first floor. Qiu Yue's heart tightened, the power of attributes passed through the wall, and she fell to the ground nervously.

Her hands were shaking as she stood up tremblingly, leaning back against the wall, her waist pressed tightly against the wall. The gray attribute power turned into a turbine, slowly sinking her into it.

The tearing screams came from far away and became closer. She merged with the wall, pinching her nose and holding her breath.

A violent and murderous wind swept through, splattering blood wherever it went.

Shen Huan slowly withdrew his strength, and there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

The housekeeper knocked Shen Linji unconscious, brought him over, and made him kneel down with a thud.

"What are you doing?"

"I hope you will leave my body intact for the sake of my many years of service to you."

Shen Huan waved his hand and said, "Clean up this place so that no one will find out anything."

The butler's face was stunned, but he quickly returned to normal.

"I won't kill you just because of a few words from them. Don't worry. I only kept those girls because I wanted to make a deal with Wei Xi. Now that he's dead, there's no need to keep these people." Shen Huan wiped his hands and said, "Bury them in the same place."

"But the young master saw it."

"Just see it, lest he look like a fool and go down."

"Yes." The butler stood up and left.
