Faced with Ning Rongrong's questions, Xiao Wu was indeed a little overwhelmed.
She immediately sold Lin Ye out!
"A Ye has lots of treasures, but I don't know exactly what they are."
"If you want to find out, you'll have to fish for clues."
She shared the experience she'd gained over the years.
She had her own methods for getting treasures out of Lin Ye.
For example, she'd complain to Lin Ye that cultivation was too painful and progress too slow.
Wouldn't it be great if there were some way to raise her cultivation quickly?
Things like that often made Lin Ye's thoughts reveal the existence of certain treasures.
Then she'd figure out how to talk him into handing them over.
That was how she'd managed to reach level forty-two in just six years.
And her Soul Ring Configuration was incredibly powerful.
She also had many other treasures she hadn't used yet.
"So that's how it is. Can we get some treasures out of Lin Ye too?"
Zhu Zhuqing was genuinely excited.
Lin Ye had Precognition, and he also had ways to raise his cultivation quickly.
That was incredibly important to her now!
Her Soul Power was only at level twenty-seven, and she truly needed to raise it.
Otherwise, how could she ever defeat Dai Mubai and change her fate against all odds?
To change your fate against all odds, you first had to be strong enough.
And Lin Ye seemed to be the key to becoming stronger quickly.
But she had to ask Xiao Wu first.
After all, Xiao Wu was the one closest to Lin Ye, and now they'd even slept together!
If Xiao Wu didn't agree, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't very well make a move.
Xiao Wu thought for a moment, then smiled. "I don't mind. Actually, there's another way."
"What way?"
The two girls perked up at once.
"The simplest, most direct way is to complain to A Ye. Just tell him you want to improve quickly but don't know how, and that if there were a way to get stronger fast, you'd do anything."
"Then make your intentions clear. Say you want to become stronger and change your fate or something."
"If you do that, A Ye will most likely help you."
At that, both girls brightened.
They hadn't expected Xiao Wu to actually give them advice.
And it was such a simple plan: play the victim!
"That sounds pretty easy, doesn't it?"
Ning Rongrong said with a grin. This kind of thing was easy, wasn't it?
Zhu Zhuqing, however, felt a little awkward.
"Why don't you go first, Rongrong?"
Playing the victim sounded kind of embarrassing.
Her life had been miserable enough, but she'd never played the victim to anyone before. She didn't know how to do it.
"Sure. Just watch how I handle it."
Ning Rongrong thumped her chest. She might not be good at much, but surely she could manage this!
At that moment, Lin Ye had no idea he'd already been targeted.
After acquiring his Golden House, he headed back to the academy at a brisk pace.
As soon as he got back, he ran into Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
Judging by the way they looked, they seemed to be waiting for him.
"Is something the matter?"
"No. We just wanted to ask if you had fun in Suotuo City this afternoon."
"I wasn't having fun. I went to take care of something important!"
Lin Ye said it with a straight face, but both girls had already heard his thoughts. How could they possibly believe him?
His so-called important business was building a house where he could fool around in the future, right?
What a shameless man!
"I'm so jealous. You don't have to cultivate, while we have to work ourselves to the bone, and our cultivation improves so slowly."
"Sigh... I want to cultivate hard and earn my family's approval, too."
"But cultivation is just so difficult."
Ning Rongrong spoke with tears in the corners of her eyes, and she really did look the part.
Lin Ye was genuinely dumbfounded. He wondered if Ning Rongrong had been possessed by something unclean.
This was nothing like her usual personality.
Since when had she been so fond of cultivation?
For a Young Miss like her, taking it easy was the norm, wasn't it?
"Actually... when it comes to cultivation, you just need to work hard."
"But I can't! Your cultivation is so high, while mine is only this much. People will look down on me."
"Lin Ye, how do you cultivate? Is there any way to raise your cultivation quickly?"
Ning Rongrong asked him at that point.
The act had gone on long enough. If she kept it up, she might give herself away.
The wisest choice was to stop while she was ahead.
"Raise your cultivation quickly?"
"Cultivation takes time and patience. How could there be any way to raise your cultivation quickly?"
Lin Ye shook his head, though he was turning something over in his mind.
If you mean raising your cultivation without any side effects, there is a way. Just take some Elixirs!
Drugs make you stronger. Reaching Soul King in a month isn't even a dream!
There are also treasures that can increase the Soul Ring Age!
After six years of check-ins, he'd accumulated quite a few of these little things.
He just hadn't used them, because he didn't need them.
He'd even tried them before, but they hadn't helped his cultivation much.
The Elixirs' effects were greatly diminished when he took them.
They had no side effects on other people, though, and worked very well.
That was basically how Xiao Wu had raised her level.
Hearing those thoughts, Ning Rongrong was secretly delighted.
There were actually Elixirs that could raise Soul Power, and they didn't have any major side effects.
Lin Ye really was a treasure trove of a man. He even had treasures like these.
"Sigh... If only there were something that could raise my cultivation quickly."
Ning Rongrong said meaningfully, and Lin Ye's thoughts stirred.
He suddenly found himself a little curious: what changes would come if Ning Rongrong's cultivation rose quickly?
After getting together with Xiao Wu, he'd realized he couldn't live in this world as a complete outsider.
Tang San would definitely come after him.
Over these six years, because of Xiao Wu, Tang San had hated him to the bone.
Sometimes, the hatred in Tang San's eyes was so intense he seemed ready to skin Lin Ye alive and tear out his tendons on the spot.
Unfortunately, Tang San couldn't make a move while they were at the academy.
He'd wanted to go to Heavenly Sword Village to cause trouble, but he couldn't find a way in.
Simply put, Tang San had had no chance to make trouble for Lin Ye in all six years.
Now that Xiao Wu had gotten together with him, if Tang San found out, his hatred would surely grow even stronger.
That was the protagonist's instinctive possessiveness toward the female lead.
There was no reason for it. It was simply in his nature.
From the first moment he saw Xiao Wu, Tang San had already decided she was the one destined for him.
Perhaps he hadn't quite understood that feeling at the time.
But how old were they now?
And as Xiao Wu grew up, that emotion had run wild in Tang San's heart, making him finally recognize his true feelings.
He'd practically come to regard Xiao Wu as his woman.
And Lin Ye, who was with Xiao Wu, was the one he wanted to deal with.
Since he could no longer sit back and watch, he might as well have some fun.
"The things you're talking about probably don't exist. Just keep following Teacher Zhao's training."
Elixirs that raise your cultivation? That's easy!
I guarantee you'll reach level thirty in three days!
But I'll need to find a suitable excuse. I can't let anyone else find out what's going on, or it'll be a problem.
Lin Ye was already planning to use those treasures.
Some could raise cultivation, while others could improve talent, unleash potential, and so on.
He could get all these treasures through check-ins!
