Chapter 1252 – Shocked Yang Huaijun

“Grandpa introduced a boyfriend to me, House Yu’s Yu Feng- he’s so much damn trouble!” Lingshan said, really troubled when she remembered the whole thing. What was her grandpa thinking, throwing a fiance like that in her face! She wouldn’t have told him about her breaking through if she’d known this would happen!

“House Yu? Yu Feng?” Huaijun paused- he was from a noble house too, and while House Yang wasn’t very famous, it was a traditional old noble house. This sort of noble house usually had an elder sealed off in isolation, practitioning- they wouldn’t go and fight for a spot in the four big noble houses, satisfied with just a seat as a small noble house. This sort of house gave you no reason to go piss them off, nor did one have much reason to look down on them.

And so naturally Huaijun had heard of Yu Feng. What confused him, however, was why House Yu would ally with House Song? House Song’s strength wasn’t that overwhelming at all? Other than their special partner practitioning, there really wasn’t much…

“I’m now golden class late phase peak…” Lingshan had no reason to hide this from him. “This is also why House Yu wants me to marry over- they think that I have a lot of potential when I’m already golden class late phase peak at this age, and with the partnership practitioning they’d get benefits…”

“You… You’re a golden class late phase peak!” Huaijun’s eyes were wide open as if he’d seen a ghost. He couldn’t believe what she was saying! Only after a while did he speak up. “Lil’ Song, if I’m not mistaken, you were only golden class early phase peak when I left Songshan? How are you suddenly so many levels higher?”

“I… Yang Bro, can you keep it a secret if I tell you?” Lingshan didn’t want to say it, but she felt that Huaijun was Lin Yi’s mate in war. The two should be exceptionally close, and it should be fine if she told her, but he had to keep it a secret!

She naturally knew how important this was- if someone with ulterior motives knew that Lin Yi was able to rapidly increase someone’s strength, they’d all come looking for him or cause him trouble. She didn’t want that!

This was why she was so careful.

“Of course! But, if you have to keep it a secret, you don’t have to tell me, I understand,” Huaijun didn’t force her- everyone had their private things.

“Yang Bro, just what is your relationship with Lin Yi?” Lingshan asked.

“Oh?” Huaijun paused, not expecting LIngshan to give a question of her own without answering his… Could it be that Lin Yi had something to do with her leveling up?

Remembering a phone call from Lin Yi, he said that he’d found a way to repair his nerves, saying that he could let him start doing spiritual practitioning again… Could this be related?

With that thought, Huaijun didn’t hide anything. “Lin Yi used to be my captain in the past- you should have guessed it already, actually. He’s someone I really admire. He’s helped me a lot! I was hurt before, and you know just how grave those injuries were- Lin Yi was the one who made me recover to this point!”

“Ah!” Lingshan paused, not expecting that Lin Yi was Huaijun’s captain! So this is why he was so good, able to crack cases for her as if it was a simple puzzle! The big brother she admired and worshipped was already very good, but Lin Yi was his captain? Just how amazing was he?

So this meant that there was nothing wrong with her thinking that Lin Yi was better than her big brother now- that was a fact. This was something Yang Bro himself admitted! With that thought, her guilt faded away quite a bit.

“My increase in strength… It is also thanks to Lin Yi.” Lingshan sighed. “Shocked, right? I’m shocked too…”

“You guys did the partner practitioning?” Huaijun frowned.

“No.” Lingshan shook her head. “It’s a bit embarrassing to tell you this, but I tried to seduce him and failed.”

There was no point in hiding something from a trusted brother. Fine, so be it if he laughed!

But Huaijun didn’t mind what she said- he focused on the earlier part. “You guys didn’t do a partner practitioning, so this means that your strength went up directly because of what he did?”

“Exactly. In one day- not even one day, I leveled up!” Lingshan smiled bitterly. “I don’t know if he has any more cards in-store… Huaijun Bro, to tell you the truth, the few times I solved those cases were all after I listened to your advice to go to Lin Yi- he really did solve everything…”

I know about the cases. Eagle… He used to always have that aura of agility and a keen sense, noticing things that normal people can’t back in our team…” Huaijun said. “But this thing about leveling up… I’m didn’t know about it. But Lingshan, don’t tell any other person this- this must be a well-hidden secret, understand! This is too massive!”

“I understand! Other than Yang Bro, only my sister knows about this.” Lingshan said seriously. She knew how important this was, although Lin Yi seemed like he didn’t quite mind. He even made a golden dog class late phase peak!”

“Alright- let’s leave that topic for now!” Huaijun didn’t want to ask about the details anymore- he could ask that to Lin Yi himself. He wouldn’t hide these things from him, he thought, and it wouldn’t be very proper for Lingshan to tell him this information. It’d be bad if Lin Yi had bad impressions about her.

And so he changed the topic to other things. “Song, why’re you looking for me this time? Is something wrong?”

“Yeah, it’s a case of disappearances…” Lingshan took out some files and gave them to him. “Yang Bro, can you look at these files. The disappearing persons don’t seem to have any connections, but the reasons for their disappearances are all similar…”

“Okay, I’ll take a look!” Huaijun nodded and sat by the bed, flipping through them.

Lingshan stood quietly and waited.

“You’re not sitting? Why’re you so polite?” Huaijun pointed at the sofa, amused. There were a lot of files, but these cases all seemed similar- he only needed to look at a couple before skimming through the others and closing the file. “What are your thoughts? Let me hear them.”
