Zuo Qing led Lin Xiao and Lin Wan'er into the conference hall. Lin Xiao's gaze was immediately drawn to the tall, resolute middle-aged man among the many night watchmen.

Zuo Qing quickly walked up behind Ye Fan and respectfully reported, "Commander Ye, Lin Xiao and Lin Wan'er have arrived."

Everyone in the conference room turned their attention to Lin Xiao and Lin Wan'er, who remained calm and composed, which made Ye Fan nod in approval.

After all, being able to remain calm in such a situation is something that ordinary people cannot do.

Lin Xiao, holding Lin Wan'er's hand, nodded slightly and said, "Greetings, Commander Ye."

Appreciation gleamed in Ye Fan's eyes. He glanced at everyone present, then waved his hand and said, "You can all leave now."

Everyone knew that this was a private meeting requested by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, so they had no objections and got up to leave, their movements swift and decisive.

Baili Xin glanced at Lin Xiao and Lin Wan'er, and the idea of ​​winning them over immediately popped into his mind.

Although the Baili family is not short of money, talented people are a scarce resource.

Zuo Qing then gestured to Lin Wan'er, "Wan'er, come out with me. Lin Xiao will come to find you after he's done."

However, just as Lin Wan'er was about to let go of Lin Xiao's hand and leave with Zuo Qing, Lin Xiao held it tightly.

She turned to look at Lin Xiao, only to see his resolute expression: "Wan'er doesn't need to go out. Dao Ancestor Hongjun has already said that Director Zuo can also stay."

Wan'er was the person he trusted most, so there was no need to hide anything from her.

Zuo Qing was highly regarded by Ye Fan, so whether he was present or not was not important.

Ye Fan stood up and walked slowly to the tea table next to him. He looked at Lin Xiao and said, "Please sit down."

After everyone was seated, Ye Fan gazed into Lin Xiao's eyes and asked earnestly, "Lin Xiao, what is your impression of the Night Watch?"

Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly: "Commander Ye, there's no need to test my attitude towards the Night Watchmen. I've already informed Director Zuo of my bottom line."

Zuo Qing then recounted his conversation with Lin Xiao in the car to Ye Fan in detail.

Ye Fan was not angry after hearing this; instead, the light in his eyes shone even brighter.

"Then tell us about the current situation of Great Xia."

Lin Xiao took the teacup from Zuo Qing and handed it to Lin Wan'er, then took out some snacks from his storage space and stuffed them into her hand.

"It is no exaggeration to say that the situation of Daxia is like a rootless duckweed, swaying in the wind and rain, and could disappear at any time."

Ye Fan's appreciation for Lin Xiao grew stronger, and he personally poured Lin Xiao a full cup of tea.

"Then tell me where the crisis in Great Xia came from and how to resolve it."

Lin Xiao opened his mouth and ate the potato chip that Lin Wan'er handed to him, his expression becoming serious.

"There is only one reason for the crisis facing the Great Xia Dynasty!"

Ye Fan raised an eyebrow curiously.

"which one?"

Zuo Qing, with a serious expression, and Lin Wan'er, who was eating snacks with her mouth stuffed like a hamster, both turned their curious gazes toward Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao took a sip of tea, looked out the window at the slightly gloomy sky, and spoke in a calm but firm voice.

“Strength! Our Great Xia lacks sufficient strength.”

Ye Fan pressed on, "Didn't you say that the Great Xia God would return in a year or two? At that time, Great Xia will have a god, and our strength will increase, won't it?"

Lin Xiao looked at Ye Fan helplessly: "Commander Ye, there's no point in asking these obvious questions all the time, is there?"

Even if the gods of Great Xia return, it will only be a divine kingdom. And there are quite a few other divine kingdoms eyeing our Great Xia with covetous intent.

"With the Great Xia gods alone, our situation won't improve much; on the contrary, it might disrupt the existing balance and invite an attack from numerous divine kingdoms."

Ye Fan also abandoned his probing intentions; he had already done enough probing.

Lin Xiao's views on the situation and crisis in the Great Xia Dynasty were incisive.

His expression turned serious.

"Lin Xiao, what was the method that Dao Ancestor Hongjun told you to resolve the crisis facing the Great Xia Dynasty?"

Lin Xiao glanced at the screen behind Ye Fan almost imperceptibly, his voice calm yet profound.

"Humans becoming gods!"

Ye Fan's gaze sharpened instantly, his voice tinged with excitement.

"Do you really have a way to help humans become gods?"

He had actually suspected this before, but he needed Lin Xiao to say it himself to confirm it.

Lin Xiao shook his head, then nodded: "Let Zhou Ping, the Great Xia Sword Immortal, come out. I can only help him become a god for now."

Ye Fan stood up and, under Lin Wan'er's questioning gaze, walked behind the screen and pulled out a plain-looking, slightly gloomy man.

Zhou Ping was forcefully pressed onto the stool by Ye Fan. He silently curled up into a ball and muttered, "I've been found out. How embarrassing. I want to go home."

Ye Fan sighed helplessly.

Lin Wan'er looked at Zhou Ping curiously, and without thinking twice, handed him a bag of potato chips.

"Are you the Great Xia Sword Immortal? That's a really cool nickname! Here, have some potato chips."

Zhou Ping shuddered, his body trembling slightly with nervousness, his face turning red, and steam rising from his body.

"Thank you...thank you."

"What should I do? I'm so nervous, I really want to go home."

Lin Wan'er looked at Lin Xiao with a puzzled expression.

Lin Xiao gently stroked her hair and explained, "He suffers from severe social anxiety disorder."

Zhou Ping's body trembled even more violently.

Lin Wan'er suddenly realized what he meant, showing her little tiger teeth, and smiled as she extended her hand to him: "Hello! My name is Lin Wan'er!"

"If you're a Great Xia Sword Immortal, then you must be incredibly powerful, right? It should be others fearing you, not you fearing others!"

Zhou Ping slowly raised his head, mustered his courage, and gently shook Lin Wan'er's hand.

"Hello! My name is Zhou Ping."

Ye Fan was somewhat surprised that Zhou Ping hadn't stuttered due to social anxiety.

Ye Fan's eyes were filled with laughter as he looked at Lin Xiao again, his voice trembling with excitement: "What's your method for helping Zhou Ping become a god?"

Lin Xiao did not answer his question directly, but instead explained his plan in detail: "The original plan for Zhou Ping to become a god was to help him overcome his social anxiety, improve his mental state, and then seek a breakthrough between life and death, right?"

Ye Fan did not deny it, and took a sip of tea: "That's right! Zhou Ping's aptitude is the most likely to break through to become a god."

Lin Xiao nodded, then turned his gaze to Zhou Ping.

"You've rehearsed countless times what would happen if humans became gods, haven't you?"

When a human becomes a god, their body will collapse because it cannot withstand the power of the laws, and they will eventually transform into the Dao.

If Zhou Ping were to directly become a god, he would inevitably die by merging with the Dao.

Zhou Ping seemed not to hear, continuing to keep his head down as if he didn't care about his life or death at all.

Lin Xiao continued, "After he becomes a god, you will need to use the Life-Transferring Pearl to exchange your life for his, transferring his soul and power to a vessel that can support his existence, in order to achieve the goal of resurrecting Zhou Ping, is that right?"

Ye Fan's eyes widened suddenly, staring at Lin Xiao in disbelief.

He had never revealed this secret to anyone, except for Zuo Qing, who knew a little about it, and Zuo Qing would never tell Lin Xiao about it.
