Acheron: Lin Shuang, Have You Found Another New Woman?
"I have something more important to confirm with Young Friend Lin."
Jing Yuan spoke, he turned around, looked down at Lin Shuang, and his eyes became serious:
"Were the severed Jianmu and Phantylia truly sealed and suppressed by Young Friend Lin?"
Jing Yuan naturally had his reasons. Compared to a Self-Annihilator who wanted to hide his identity, Jianmu and Phantylia were the key.
With these two pieces of evidence, the investigators will naturally be able to prove many things when they come in the future.
Lin Shuang didn't mind, after all, the Jianmu had a lot of entanglements with the Xianzhou.
It's normal for Jing Yuan to treat it this way.
So Lin Shuang smiled and flipped her hand, revealing the Card that sealed the Jianmu.
"Would the general like to experience the power of the Jianmu?"
"Young Friend Lin is joking."
Jing Yuan smiled and waved his hand.
However, she still reached out and took the Card, examining it carefully.
The Card was warm to the touch, and through its thin Card, Jing Yuan could even clearly sense the surging power within.
It was undoubtedly the power from the Jianmu.
But this Card miraculously locked it inside, without revealing a single detail.
In addition, there was the Small Bottle that contained the power of Phantylia that we had seen before.
Jing Yuan was more curious about what Lin Shuang possessed that allowed her to tame both of these forces at the same time.
Furthermore, Lin Shuang herself possesses Power of the Permanence.
Three different Path were unleashed simultaneously, culminating in a final blow from Phantylia.
It no longer needs to rely on external forces as it did in the past.
Such rapid progress made Jing Yuan very optimistic about Lin Shuang's future.
A being free from all attachments, and unlike Nihility, one that cannot be avoided, comparable to Emanator, and even far more terrifying than an ordinary Emanator.
They are worth trying to win over by Xianzhou.
Jing Yuan smiled and handed the Card back to Lin Shuang.
"Young friend, I have a favor to ask. If any envoys from other Xianzhou come to Luofu to investigate today's events in the future..."
"I hope you can find the time to come and bear witness for Luofu."
Jing Yuan spoke so earnestly that Lin Shuang was surprised to realize it.
So there are political frictions between the Xianzhou too.
Even a veteran general like Jing Yuan would be suspected and investigated?
Although she was puzzled, Lin Shuang didn't want to pry into other people's private affairs, so she nodded and said:
"I will return if the general needs me."
After all, Jing Yuan tacitly allowed Lin Shuang to take the Jianmu away, and even helped to cover up Acheron's affair.
Lin Shuang felt she should reciprocate the favor, since she was only back to testify.
Otherwise, if something really happens to Jing Yuan, it will be troublesome for Lin Shuang to travel back and forth on the Xianzhou.
I just don't know what would happen if we really wanted to investigate a Xianzhou General.
Who will the alliance send? The Ten Lords' Court? Or another Xianzhou General?
After all, even under the worst-case scenario, the person who comes should at least have the strength to rival General Xianzhou to be considered safe.
I'm really looking forward to it.
It would be great if I had the chance to visit other Xianzhou.
It seems that Jing Yuan has said everything he wanted to say.
After the great battle, cleaning up the mess still required him, the general, and the Six Commissions working together.
Lin Shuang didn't get involved much. After saying goodbye to Fu Xuan, she left with Acheron.

Chapter 271 Acheron: Lin Shuang, have you provoked another new woman?
After leaving the Alchemy Commission, Lin Shuang and Acheron boarded the Starskiff arranged by the Cloud Knights and flew towards their residence.
The Starskiff is on autopilot; only Lin Shuang are present.
Inside the chair, Lin Shuang, her lips slightly pale, leaned against Acheron.
They no longer appear as energetic and vibrant as before.
That's what happens when you overexert yourself; you feel empty and exhausted afterward.
After a while, you may experience muscle soreness or even some injury.
However, compared to other options, Lin Shuang felt that the price was still bearable.
Moreover, with the addition of the Power of Abundance, the body, which should have been injured and needing rest, was also repaired by the Power of Abundance.
Acheron knew that Lin Shuang was in a lot of pain, so he shifted his body and let Lin Shuang rest against his chest.
Lin Shuang nestled in his warm embrace, her heart filled with the fragrance of the Acheron.
It gives me peace of mind.
"Gepard, do you think there might be any hidden problems with what I promised Jing Yuan?"
In the quiet atmosphere, Lin Shuang suddenly brought up the conversation she had with Jing Yuan earlier.
Acheron glanced down at Lin Shuang's White-Haired Form, his tone confident and relaxed:
With your current strength, why worry about so-called hidden dangers?
Leaving aside the speed at which Lin Shuang's strength improved, what would happen when the Xianzhou Alliance actually sent people to investigate?
Lin Shuang is probably already capable of Emanator directly.
And then there's the Acheron.
Even taking away the Broken Jianmu would likely attract a lot of criticism.
But unless the Xianzhou Alliance has lost its mind, it will definitely talk to Lin Shuang first.
The Hunt is all about revenge, but it's not about Path enemies for no reason.
And there's something else very important.
Phantylia is now in Lin Shuang's hands.
Jing Yuan knew this, and he also knew that Phantylia was still alive. This at least ensured that Jing Yuan had no reason to be an enemy of Lin Shuang.
This is Lin Shuang's apparent strength.
Furthermore, among the forces that are on good terms with Lin Shuang, the Stellaron Hunter have a close relationship.
They also had a good relationship with the Star Rail Express, and since everyone on the Train was a nice person, it wouldn't be difficult to ask for help.
The Herta's attitude was somewhat indifferent, but Acheron knew that the Herta was still quite interested in Lin Shuang.
If they really wanted to use someone else's name, they could do it.
I don't know many people.
But they are all individuals and organizations with power.
"While vigilance is necessary regarding the Xianzhou Alliance, there's no need to be overly cautious. At least the Xianzhou Alliance as a whole is reasonable."
They do hunt down the Abundance, but the Xianzhou can also accept those Pathstrider the Abundance path.
The Xianzhou Alliance may have some shortcomings, but it certainly doesn't have that many dirty tricks.
Well, of course, it's not entirely nonexistent.
Just then--
Lin Shuang's phone rang.
I took out my phone and glanced at it. It was a message from someone using the default profile picture:
[Honey, someone specially prepared fireworks for you, and you didn't even say thank you.]
[???: Is it just because they didn't give you their contact information?!]
[???: Waaah~ I did such a terrible thing to them~]
Acheron looked at the unfamiliar information with curiosity.
Who is this?
"... If nothing unexpected happens, he's probably a Masked Fools needs to be taught a lesson."
Lin Shuang's tone was cryptic.
Lin Shuang hadn't expected that the Sparkle would get entangled all the way to the Xianzhou.
But in reality, although this guy had some fun with the Sparkle Bomb, he did disrupt Phantylia's plans in the end.
Of course, Lin Shuang felt Sparkle whether or not the bomb exploded, the final result wouldn't be much different.
Lin Shuang had a feeling that this was Sparkle deliberately trying to make her presence known.
"The Masked Fools? When did you provoke the Masked Fools?"
"In Penacony, I ran into a Masked Fools named Sparkle. He tried to bother me, but I taught him a lesson. I thought he'd finally behaved himself..."
As she said this, Lin Shuang pursed her lips, revealing a complicated expression.
Acheron frowned slightly, somewhat speechless at Lin Shuang's carelessness.
"The Masked Fools are guys who'll do anything for fun; a simple lesson isn't enough."
"I understand, I'll remember this lesson."
Lin Shuang couldn't quite figure out Sparkle for the time being, and really didn't want to deal with the Masked Fools.
But it's clear that Sparkle has her eye on me.
While pondering, Acheron suddenly asked:
"Speaking of which, what did you do to that Sparkle?"
"Well..."
Lin Shuang scratched her face, her eyes darting around, and stammered:
"Well... Penacony's dreams don't involve death, so I got her a Deluxe Massage Package..."
"..."
After Lin Shuang finished speaking, it was obvious that Acheron's body stiffened for a moment.
Acheron had experienced more massages than anyone else, so how could she not know the effects of Lin Shuang's skills?
This guy...
Acheron squinted and looked down at the back of Lin Shuang's head.
Although I really want to teach him a good lesson.
However, considering that they were on Starskiff, Acheron silently made a mental note of Lin Shuang's actions.
The topic was moved on.
So how do you plan to reply to her?
"... Hmm? Oh, just reply casually."
Lin Shuang heard that Acheron's tone was normal, so she didn't think much of it and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
[Lin Shuang: Be normal. You're the Masked Fools, not a love clown.]
