Godslayer: At the start, the power of the Five Elements transforms into Iron Fist Tiger.

On this day, the once quiet Cangnan City became lively again. Even Lin Qiye and his aunt came to the Peace Agency, since they no longer had any relatives they knew.

"Two!"

"bomb!"

"Wang Bang!"

Ling Yue, Zhao Kongcheng, and Hong Ying were playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) when Ling Yue's phone rang again.

"Hello?!" Not many people knew Ling Yue's phone number. The only few who knew it were the entire 136 team and Ye Fan. But since the captain and vice-captain of the 136 team were here, and the other two had also sent a message in the group, it was obvious who was making the call.

"Happy New Year," Ye Fan said on the other end of the phone, then fell silent.

“Yeah, you too, Happy New Year,” Ling Yue replied. “Airplane.”

Ye Fan:?

"Bomb." A sharp female voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I can't afford it." Zhao Kongcheng's somewhat rough voice rang out again.

"You guys...are playing Dou Dizhu?" Ye Fan hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Yeah, what's up? Speak quickly." Ling Yue no longer stood on ceremony; he had already guessed that Ye Fan's purpose in calling him was not pure.

"Hmm... My request to allow Lin Qiye to form a fifth special team has been approved, so I need you to lead Lin Qiye and the team members he has chosen to carry out missions."

To be honest, Ye Fan had hesitated for a long time in front of Ling Yue's phone number. He had no idea how to talk to Ling Yue during the New Year, but he still forced himself to call and explain to Ling Yue.

Sure enough, just as he expected, Ling Yue cursed out the next second after hearing those words.

"Holy crap! No way? It's only the first day of the Lunar New Year and they're already making me work?! Do you really think I'm made of dough?" Ling Yue on the other end of the phone had already put down the cards in his hand and walked out.

"Damn, Ling Yue has a good hand. I'll take a few of his cards."

Even after Ling Yue closed the door, he could still faintly hear Zhao Kongcheng's voice.

"I'm so sorry, but this isn't just what I meant..." Ye Fan's voice grew even lower.

"That's still Old Deng's idea. Just tell him I don't want to hit anyone during the New Year." Ling Yue's penis was already hard at this point.

"It's the Celestial Venerable's will." Ye Fan betrayed the Celestial Venerable without hesitation.

At the same time, a Taoist priest dressed in a plain robe and straw sandals raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Which Heavenly Venerable? Once I become a god, I'll show him the power of the Five Spirit Kings." Ling Yue was not afraid at all. He believed that with his future transformation into the Five Spirit Kings, it would be no problem for him to punch the Three Pure Ones or kick Hongjun.

"The Celestial Venerable's Daoist name is Yuanshi. He came to see me specifically to talk about you." Ye Fan explained the Celestial Venerable's matter clearly, while secretly praying for Ling Yue, hoping that he would not say anything disrespectful.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yue raised an eyebrow slightly, already showing some interest: "Yuanshi Tianzun? Is that the one who always talks about 'being born from moisture and eggs, and having fur and horns'?"

Suddenly, Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat.

As expected, Ling Yue still spoke ill of Yuanshi Tianzun, and what he said was even a dark chapter in Yuanshi Tianzun's past.

On the other side, Yuanshi Tianzun, with his fingers forming a hand seal and his eyes slightly closed, had already foreseen Ling Yue's words. He applied a little force to the hand forming the hand seal.

"Shh, be careful what you say. You can't call a saint by his name." At this moment, Ye Fan suddenly felt a little tired. He felt that he was worried sick about Ling Yue's safety.

Suddenly, after saying those words, Ling Yue felt a chill run down his spine, and a strange sense of being spied on arose within him. He felt as if he were being watched by a mysterious entity, and his entire body seemed to have no secrets left.

But the stubborn one remained unfazed, maintaining that expression. "Tch, would a saint care about the words of an ordinary person like me? What someone like me says is clearly beneath his notice, okay?"

Finally, Ye Fan's heartbeat returned to normal. At this moment, he just wanted to hang up the phone as soon as possible to prevent Ling Yue from saying anything outrageous to him.

"Alright, since you know it was the Celestial Venerable's arrangement, I'll hang up now." The moment he finished speaking, Ling Yue's phone went dead.

At that moment, the inexplicable feeling of being spied on Ling Yue disappeared, and he realized that his back was almost completely soaked.

"Damn, is this the vision of a sage? It's truly terrifying!" Ling Yue secretly marveled at the power of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and then walked back to the living room. Once inside, his expression had returned to normal.

"Come on, let's finish this round." Ling Yue picked up the cards in his hand, and his eyes were immediately filled with disastrous cards. His good hand had turned into a bad one, and even the original eight cards had become ten. Ling Yue's face darkened instantly.

"Holy crap, you guys are cheating!"

After some back and forth with Zhao Kongcheng and Hongying, they played another round. After that, Ling Yue went to find Lin Qiye.

"Xiao Qi, have you contacted A Jin on WeChat?" Ling Yue had just opened the door when he heard his aunt's voice from the other side.

"No, it's probably because there's no signal in Heaven. Otherwise, A-Jin would definitely have replied to me." Lin Qiye's expression changed slightly. He tried hard not to think about the bad side, such as Yang Jian completing his reincarnation and then absorbing Yang Jin's personality and memories, turning Yang Jin into Yang Jian, or other melodramatic plots.

"Don't worry, even if Yang Jin awakens his memories, he'll still be him," Ling Yue said as he pushed open the door.

Lin Qiye and her aunt didn't blame Ling Yue for eavesdropping. Instead, they quickly asked, "Ling Yue (Brother Yue), how did you know? Do you have any evidence?"

"Evidence?...Of course there is." Ling Yue thought for a moment, then replied:

"After the great battle, I met Yang Jin and Xiao Hei Lai again, and he even taught me a skill."

Lin Qiye and his aunt wisely avoided mentioning any skills. "Is there anything he wants to tell us?"

“He didn’t say anything, but I could see the struggle in his eyes, just like when Qi Ye left. I believe his reluctance to see you is the same as Qi Ye’s back then—not because he doesn’t want to, but because he’s afraid.” Ling Yue said with certainty, while looking at Lin Qi Ye and bringing up his dark past.

Lin Qiye smiled awkwardly and remained silent.

His aunt gently patted the back of his hand, laughing and scolding, "Ah Jin, this kid doesn't learn any good things from Qi Ye, only bad ones... And you, do you know how worried I was about you that night when you didn't come home? You should have told me beforehand, so I wouldn't have had to worry..."

For a moment, Lin Qiye was stunned. Yes, he and A Jin's departure without saying goodbye was only for their own sake, and they never considered their aunt's feelings. If they had informed her in time, it would have saved her from overthinking and wasting her time.

Ling Yue smiled without saying anything. "Alright, Qi Ye. Your chance to redeem yourself has come. This time, you can inform your aunt in advance."

Upon hearing Ling Yue's words, both Aunt and Lin Qiye were stunned.

Lin Qiye had already guessed what was going on. His eyes stung slightly, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips: "I would rather... not atone for my sins with good deeds."
