Fourth Email

New email?

Lu Xuan was stunned.

The problem he had encountered this time hadn't been considered serious. How had it actually caused him to die?

What exactly had happened?

He opened the email.

[I am Lu Xuan. By the time you see this, I will already be dead...]

[On May 11, I killed Jiang Xi, who had intended to harm my younger sister, and learned of the Holy Cult from her.]

[That day, I was worried that the Holy Cult's members would discover me.]

[Between enrolling my younger sister in school early and reporting Shen Liyue, I chose to enroll my younger sister early.]

[I contacted Xu Xin and asked her to pull some strings so my younger sister could enter through the back door.]

[On May 12, Xu Xin came to my house as a guest and discussed taking my younger sister away. I thought this would definitely prevent the Holy Cult from taking or threatening her.]

[On May 13, news of my younger sister's early admission spread throughout Jinling City, and she became the prodigy everyone talked about.

As her older brother, I also attracted a great deal of attention, and many people came to curry favor with me.

But I remained unmoved.

I began guarding against the Xu Family, the Pharmaceutical Company, and the Holy Cult while also improving my strength.]

[During the day, I followed martial artists into the Wilderness for training, killed monsters, and seized spiritual treasures. At night, I returned to Jinling City, visited my parents, sold the resources to make money, and then entered the Virtual Combat Platform to fight and earn points.]

[This kind of life continued for half a month.]

[On June 1, while investigating Jiang Xi's death, Shen Liyue unexpectedly discovered that she had most likely not been discovered and executed by the Federation.

Moreover, my behavior was abnormal. After all, ordinary people could not repeatedly return safely from the Wilderness.

Shen Liyue grew suspicious of me.

She began testing me.]

[On June 2, I broke through to become a Fifth-order martial artist.]

[On June 8, Shen Liyue made her first probe.]

[A member of the martial artist team I followed turned out to be a Holy Cult member. He struck at me viciously in the Wilderness, but I killed him instead.]

[After learning that this was Shen Liyue's trap, I first reported her identity as a Holy Cult member to the Federation.]

[As for myself, I faked my death and escaped.]

[Over the next three months, I did not return to Jinling City. I left my parents entirely in my younger sister's care and warned her not to come home.]

[During this period, I cultivated in the Wilderness. My cultivation soared, and I broke through to become a Ninth-order martial artist in one stroke. My Mental Power also broke through a new boundary.]

[At that point, I felt that even if I couldn't kill Shen Liyue, I shouldn't be killed by her.]

[On September 10, a massive beast tide erupted in Jinling Base City.]

[A Beast Lord level monster launched the beast tide's attack on Jinling Base City.]

[Relying on my Ninth-order martial artist strength, I fought my way through it and obtained quite a few resources.]

[On September 15, I returned to Jinling City, only to discover to my shock that Shen Liyue, that madwoman, was living in my house!]

[I guessed she was thinking that if she stayed there, she would either catch me or my younger sister.]

[For safety's sake, I did not make a move immediately.]

[Over the next month, I devoted myself to cultivating in the Virtual Combat Platform, purchased all kinds of Martial Skills, and received help from the Bronze Gourd.]

[October 1. Great news.]

[I successfully broke through and became a qi-and-blood martial master, and my Mental Power advanced to another level.]

[I decided to make a move against Shen Liyue.]

[On October 5, I took action!

I didn't hesitate at all and attacked directly inside the residential compound.

This was a decision I had made after careful consideration. Making a move here would attract the Federation's attention. Even if I died, Shen Liyue would not be able to escape.]

[As I had expected, Shen Liyue had indeed concealed her strength.]

[She was far stronger than me. Even with Psychic Power, I still couldn't kill her across a major realm.]

[I died in this battle!]

"Who would've thought that even after breaking through to martial master, I still wouldn't be Shen Liyue's match?"

Lu Xuan's expression turned solemn.

If that was the case, he and his younger sister were in danger.

"Choosing to send my younger sister to school early really did protect her."

He mulled it over. "But it also put me in a passive position. Especially since I kept going in and out of the Wilderness and returning without a scratch—anyone would have become suspicious."

Then.

To avoid this situation, he should have dealt with Shen Liyue, this nuisance, at the very first opportunity.

Lu Xuan realized this.

He lowered his head and checked the rest of the email.

[I died. I refuse to accept this!]

[If I had reported Shen Liyue from the very beginning, she wouldn't have become suspicious of me. She would have been the one on the back foot!]

[What I did and how I chose to act in the past are your problem.]

[The only things I can do for you are show you the wrong life and provide future intelligence that may help you.]

[The following is intelligence I collected—

1. The Holy Cult's stronghold in Jinling City is a Pharmaceutical Company called Kaide. The evidence is in Shen Liyue's house.

2. On May 20, Satellite City No. 6 will experience a small-scale beast tide. There will be a heavily wounded Awakened Level monster there that you can pick up after others have fought it.

3. The broker has a damaged Earth-level Martial Skill.

4. Lottery numbers: 1, 3, 9, 11...]

After reading the entire email.

Lu Xuan furrowed his brows and pondered. "There really is another Holy Cult stronghold. Heaven is truly helping me!"

As long as he reported this information to the Federation,

it might not be enough to completely destroy Shen Liyue, but it would definitely deal her a heavy blow and keep her from focusing on him for a while.

"Fuck, how dare she covet my younger sister?"

Lu Xuan stopped thinking about anything else.

He took the information from the email and used his martial artist account to package it up and send it to the broker.

Broker: "?"

Lu Xuan: "I'll trade this directly with you. Take a look and see what it's worth."

The broker fell silent for a moment.

Soon, a string of messages arrived.

Broker: "Holy shit, big bro, you're amazing. You managed to get information like this? Don't worry—if it's genuine, I definitely won't shortchange you. If you need me to handle any black-market business in the future, I'll only take a ten-percent commission!"

Lu Xuan: "Pleasure doing business!"

He cut off the communication.

Lu Xuan thought for a moment. "Even if Shen Liyue is exposed, I still need to take precautions and prevent that madwoman from fighting like a cornered dog."

With that thought,

he opened his communication wristband and sent Xu Xin a message.

His younger sister still had to enter one of the Four Great Academies early.

Only then would she be safe.

Besides,

there were also his parents.

"Huh?"

Lu Xuan thought of something, opened the Martial Artist Forum, and typed in a string of words.

#Can students at martial universities bring their families?#

Countless answers appeared beneath the topic.

Comment 1: "Under normal circumstances, schools don't allow students to drag their entire families along. Unless a student has a dedicated teacher. Then, to let the student cultivate in peace, the school will arrange a family residential area."

Comment 2: "I'm from Modu Martial University's core academy. If your talent is outstanding enough for a teacher to select you and take you under their wing, the school will ensure your family's safety."

Comment 3: "Damn, then what kind of talent does it take to be selected by a teacher?"

Comment 4: "Outstanding talent, standing head and shoulders above the rest. Breaking through to become a martial artist before the martial arts exam is the bare minimum. Another way is to have someone recommend you."

"Bang!"

Inside a certain room.

The broker pushed up his glasses and smiled. "To think I obtained intelligence about the Holy Cult. My path to promotion will have another achievement to add to it."

"Who exactly is this recipient?"

The broker rolled his neck.

Just as he was about to gather his people—

"Bang!"

The room door was violently kicked open, and a beautiful figure rushed inside.

"Auntie, I need your help with something!"

"Tsk, Xu Xin, why are you as rash as your brother?"

The broker unhappily glanced at the girl. "Besides, your brother is far more useful than me. Instead of coming to me, you might as well go to him."

"Anyway, I need your help."

Xu Xin said, "I found a great prospect. How about you take her as your disciple?"

"What kind of great prospect haven't I seen?"

The broker curled her lip. "I'm not some kind of shelter."

"She's definitely a great prospect. To break through and become a martial artist at fifteen despite growing up in that kind of family—her potential is enormous!"
