Two Things in the Schoolbag

"I never expected that our Tianxin Style would have such an origin," Mu Yang couldn't have imagined that the martial arts school he belonged to, which wasn't exactly thriving, would actually have a connection to the temple.

Perhaps compared to the past, Tianxin Style had truly declined.

Aisafu laughed heartily, saying, "Hahaha, that's indeed the case. Don't be fooled by our small numbers; our heritage is very reliable. Well, I'm especially happy today. Tonight, I'll have your Shiniang cook a sumptuous meal, call your Shishu uncles, and we'll all have a good feast together."

"What are you guys talking about?"

A gentle voice sounded. Shiniang Alice, holding April's hand, walked out. April had already changed into clean clothes, and her hair was neatly styled by her Shiniang, tied with a ribbon.

"Brother," April called out crisply, her face beaming.

Aisafu looked at his wife and the little girl beside her, smiling, "We were just saying we'll have a good meal tonight and invite everyone over for some fun."

"Ah, if that's the case, we need to start preparing now." Alice covered her mouth. Without the help of electrical appliances, even for a diligent woman like Alice, preparing a good meal would take a good half a day.

Seeing his wife about to start preparing, Aisafu smiled, "Don't rush. I'll help out later." He then turned to April, "Today is a joyous occasion. Little April has come to our home, and we must host her well."

"Brother, look at my clothes. April really likes them." For a little girl just over five years old, memories were hazy, and her mood could change quickly. At this moment, she seemed to have returned to her innocent and carefree self from when they first met on the train.

"I'm glad you like them," Mu Yang said with a slight smile.

At this moment, April, wearing Meixia's childhood clothes, looked lively and cute. He suddenly felt that having a sister like this wasn't so bad.

Taking April to the courtyard, he saw the Little Blue Dragon curled up on the ground, dozing. Its tongue occasionally flicked out to lick its lips. The peaceful and serene environment of Da Qingshan Mountains made it feel quite comfortable.

Seeing Mu Yang and the others arrive, the Little Blue Dragon raised its head, its large head lifting. It let out a "squeak" towards them, then rolled over onto the ground, exposing its snow-white belly.

Mu Yang watched with interest for a while, then took April for a walk around Da Qingshan Mountains, getting her familiar with the surroundings.

Evening.

Elder Yula, Xis, Karl, Clarissa, Bearos, and other elders had arrived at Aisafu's cabin. Upon seeing Mu Yang, they couldn't help but express their concern and inquiries. Then, everyone sat down at the dining table, raising their glasses and sharing their thoughts. Mu Yang recounted his experiences once more, drawing exclamations of amazement from everyone present. Of course, the newcomer April was also the center of attention. After introductions, April became a member of Tianxin Style.

The banquet continued late into the night. Only when everyone had had their fill did they disperse, their eyes hazy with drink.

The next morning, April came padding over in her slippers, holding her small schoolbag and handing it to Mu Yang.

"What's inside this?" Taking April's schoolbag, which was small and already had a few worn spots on its surface, Mu Yang found it stuffed with items and quite heavy.

April shook her head. She took out her beloved candy jar from inside and said, "I don't know. My dad gave it to me when he left and told me to keep it safe."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yang opened the schoolbag and took out the contents: a thick stack of blueprints and three dark, unidentifiable stones. Mu Yang glanced at them and exclaimed in surprise, "The Ophiuchus Legion wanted to capture you for these things?"

"Yes," April nodded.

Mu Yang vaguely recalled that the reason the Ophiuchus Legion wanted to capture April was to obtain the blueprints drawn by her father. Opening the stack of blueprints, he saw they were filled with complex circuitry, looking like mechanical diagrams and electrical diagrams. In his previous life, Mu Yang had worked a specialized job involving high-voltage live-line operations, so he could barely understand a small portion of them.

"This is a robot design schematic," he said after a while, putting down the blueprints. He somewhat understood why the Ophiuchus Legion would target these schematics.

If the robots designed in these schematics were manufactured and deployed in combat, in an era where technology wasn't particularly advanced, the Ophiuchus Legion would have a chance to rival the United Kingdom. Going a step further, even world domination wouldn't be impossible.

"What do you plan to do with these blueprints?" Mu Yang asked April.

April thought for a moment and replied, "Brother, I want to go to school. I want to become a scientist and then research these blueprints from my father."

Stroking the little girl's brown hair, Mu Yang nodded, "Alright then, April will become a female scientist from now on."

"Mm," April narrowed her eyes, emitting a low hum.

"But you can't neglect martial arts. From now on, you're also a disciple of Tianxin Style, you can't just focus on studying."

In this world, without strength, there was no security. Although most people could live out their lives peacefully, Mu Yang didn't want April to live a mediocre life.

"I understand."

"Then what is this?" Mu Yang picked up the three strangely shaped stones. They were dark and unidentifiable, and Mu Yang squeezed them hard, but they wouldn't break, immediately making him realize these stones were also extraordinary.

April bit her lip and whispered, "I don't know. Dad didn't tell me."

"But I'll definitely figure it out in the future," the little girl said, raising her head stubbornly, her clear blue eyes filled with determination. Mu Yang was slightly taken aback, stroking her fluffy hair, as if seeing a rising star of science.

"By the way, April, do you want to avenge your parents?"

"I do, but I'm not strong enough," April said, her mood turning dejected.

"How about I help you destroy them? Those people from the Ophiuchus Legion are too detestable. Leaving them in this world will only give rise to more tragedies!" Mu Yang had no good feelings towards the Ophiuchus Legion. The original story didn't mention an organization called Ophiuchus, which meant there was only one possibility: this organization would be destroyed in the future, and the Red Ribbon Army would take its place.

Now that Mu Yang had had an encounter with the Ophiuchus Legion, and their relationship wasn't exactly harmonious.

Mu Yang's creed regarding enemies was not to let them off easily. Even if there was only a slight threat, it had to be completely annihilated.
