Feasibility of Mermaids Infiltrating Qilin

Zhang Fukong arrived very quickly, showing that he was in a hurry. He came to pick up Su Xingze almost as soon as the sun rose.

Su Xingze glanced at Zhang Fukong, ignoring his urging gaze, and pulled Zhang Shenglin to continue giving him instructions.

"Don't deprive yourself when you're out and about. We have money, so we shouldn't always eat those bland and unhealthy snacks. Don't believe everything people say when you're out there; remember to be careful."

"Don't be polite when you encounter unreasonable people. Of course, before fighting, you need to assess whether the other party is easy to deal with. If they are armed and outnumbered, we should retreat tactically. Remember, we're not afraid of them, but there's no need for a head-on confrontation. Your skills in concealed weapons weren't for nothing, and with the witchcraft I made, even a god would have to kneel down..."

Having clearly heard what Su Xingze said, Zhang Fukong couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"Do you think he's a fool? There's no one truly innocent in the Zhang family. People like that don't grow up in the Zhang family."

Under the Zhang family's indoctrination system, even those who seem innocent and naive are not without their cunning and shrewdness.

The Zhang family children are all precocious. People who treat them like fools just because they are children are the real fools.

Su Xingze rolled his eyes at the clueless Zhang Fukong, his tone suddenly turning cold and ruthless, a far cry from his gentle and soft-spoken manner when speaking to Zhang Shenglin.

"I want you to manage."

Zhang Fukong couldn't help but hiss. This brat!

It was only because he was a talented person that he was willing to tolerate him. If it were someone else, would he be so arrogant?

That's what he thought, but Zhang Fukong's intuition told him to choose a more warm and friendly attitude when facing Su Xingze, because he always felt that a bad attitude would bring him great trouble.

...Perhaps it's because of the precedent set by Zhang Ruifeng.

Zhang Shenglin didn't find the little mermaid's nagging at all, and listened to his instructions with gentle eyes.

The little Qilin's obedient appearance soothed Su Xingze, who was inexplicably agitated.

He hooked his finger around Zhang Shenglin's hand and said in a soft, clear voice, "Remember to use what I gave you. I'll come find you as soon as possible."

Zhang Shenglin nodded, his gaze focused and earnest as he looked at him.

Zhang Fukong felt a pang of toothache; sometimes, his family really...

Su Xingze and Zhang Fukong left together. Zhang Shenglin stood in the courtyard, feeling that the courtyard was too quiet.

The courtyard was still the same courtyard, but he just felt that it was different.

Zhang Shenglin stared at the courtyard gate where the little mermaid had left, his gaze lingering for a long time.

Zhang Shenglin took out the box the little mermaid had given him, opened it, and saw what was inside. He couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The first box contained an exquisite glass bottle with five or six drops of blood shimmering with golden light.

He recognized at a glance that this was extremely pure Qilin blood, the precious blood of a Qilin that the little mermaid had condensed by expending his power.

Combined with the cultivation techniques in the "Complete Collection", it has the effect of purifying blood and increasing blood concentration. Taking a drop when seriously injured can instantly heal the injury. When encountering a powerful enemy, it can also be used to enhance combat power.

Even for a mermaid, it would take a great deal of effort to condense just one drop of blood.

Thinking of the little merman who seemed inexplicably tired over the past period, Zhang Shenglin lowered his eyes, concealing the emotions within them.

Sensing something, he flicked his wrist, and the two boxes disappeared from his hand. The next second, a crisp knock sounded from outside the courtyard.

Zhang Shenglin slowly stepped forward and opened the courtyard gate, where Zhang Fuyi was standing.

Zhang Fuyi walked into the courtyard and closed the gate behind him.

Facing this former Holy Infant, his cold face held a hint of mockery: "I never expected you would actually make friends."

Zhang Shenglin pursed his lips and remained silent.

Zhang Fuyi was very familiar with his demeanor, and revealed a cold expression mixed with a hint of mockery: "I have a task for you to complete this time when we release him into the wild."

"After entering the ruins of Sizhou City, I want you to retrieve a bronze bell from inside."

Zhang Shenglin remembered his promise to the little mermaid and refused without hesitation, saying, "I'm not going."

He knew that Zhang Shenglin was no longer the helpless child he once was, and Zhang Fuyi was certainly prepared.

"I'm afraid you won't have a chance to refuse. I need you to retrieve the bronze bell, the clan leader's token, which was lost in Sizhou City. In exchange, once you successfully retrieve the token, I will tell you the information about the final resting place of your father."

Zhang Shenglin's eyes changed.

He always knew that he was brought back from outside by his own people, and that his father was punished by the tribe for having him through intermarriage with someone from another tribe, and thus died in the tomb.

However, because of the Holy Infant incident, very few people knew his true origins, and he never knew who his parents were.

After years of investigation, all he knew was that his father had been punished by his tribe for intermarrying with someone from another tribe and eventually died in his tomb.

The only people who could truly know about his parents were those who handled his transformation into the Holy Infant, and Zhang Fuyi was one of them.

"If the value of the grave your father was buried in wasn't enough, then I wonder if the news about your mother is significant enough."

After hearing this, Zhang Shenglin had no reason to refuse.

He no longer remained silent:

"I agreed."

This was the answer he expected. Zhang Fuyi glanced back at the thin and silent child in front of him, then strode forward.

The Zhang family is no longer clean; hopefully this time we can truly find those hiding in the shadows.

After Zhang Fuyi left the courtyard, Zhang Shenglin opened another box left by Su Xingze, which contained medicinal powder made by Su Xingze.

The formula found in the "Ten Spirits Scripture" uses ten kinds of poisonous insects and ten kinds of poisonous herbs, supplemented with a variety of precious herbs, to create a holy product for detoxification and healing using ancient witchcraft. When used in a special way, it can even be transformed into an extremely poisonous substance that can turn corpses into nothingness.

It is an indispensable precious medicine for traveling the world, self-defense, and healing injuries.

With a slight upturn of his lips, Zhang Shenglin looked at the two boxes for a while, then carefully put them into his spatial storage before turning around and picking up the package he had already packed.

One last look at the courtyard.

The chickens that had been raised in the yard had grown up again. Su Xingze had long been craving these plump chickens that Zhang Shenglin had raised. After learning that they were all on the list of chickens to be released into the wild, he kept urging Zhang Shenglin to eat them all.

"After we leave, who knows who will benefit from these chickens? Let's kill them before we leave, so that our efforts in raising them for so long won't be in vain."

Su Xingze's eyes lit up as he watched the little roosters strutting proudly through the fence, and he began to rattle off a list of dishes.

"White-cut chicken, braised chicken, big plate chicken, chicken stew with potatoes... Little Qilin, don't you really want to eat chicken?"

Finally, unable to resist the longing in the little mermaid's eyes, Zhang Shenglin slaughtered the still-growing roosters.

They managed to finish eating the last chicken the day before they released it into the wild.

Locking the courtyard gate, Zhang Shenglin, carrying his luggage, silently and resolutely stepped out of the Zhang family's inner gate.

In his mind, Zhang Shenglin opened the call channel with Su Xingze.

[Aze, I will do my best to complete the release into the wild this time. I've decided not to leave the Zhang family for the time being.]

Su Xingze, who was following Zhang Fukong into one of the Zhang family's treasure vaults: [Huh?]

He had only been gone a short while, how could Little Qilin suddenly change his mind?

His gaze turned cold, and Su Xingze quickly made a guess in his mind.

【What happened? 】

Zhang Shenglin did not hide anything and told Su Xingze everything about Zhang Fuyi's arrival, what he asked him to do, and the exchange he made.

Su Xingze wasn't surprised at all that Zhang Fuyi would use information about Xiao Qilin's parents to blackmail him into doing things for him; he was just that kind of person who would do anything to achieve his goals.

Back then, at the ancient city ruins, didn't he also make those innocent children pave the way for him in order to drive away the blood-sucking monsters?

Su Xingze knew how important news about his parents was to the little Qilin who didn't know where he came from, and he wouldn't stop him from working towards that goal.

But that doesn't mean he'll let Zhang Fuyi, who wants to use the little Qilin, go.

He made a note of this incident.
