Naming Technique of the Night

Nan Gengchen looked at Uncle Li Dong in shock, and then at the sky where the drones were bursting into flames.

What had been a secret weapon of the Wildlanders had been turned into a dream by a simple poker trick.

Although Nan Gengchen had been in the Inner World for quite some time, this was the first time he had seen such a high-level individual take action.

Honestly, due to his limited experience, he couldn't even be sure what level of individual this was.

In any case, it was a very high level!

With that thought, he turned to look at Qing Chen.

A few days ago, he really thought that Qing Chen was just another hard-scrabble Wildlander. He even told him to come and join him.

But how quickly things had turned!

Li Yinuo looked at the scene of the exploding drone fleet and said into the walkie-talkie, "It's taken care of, continue moving forward to find the Jindai family. The Wildlanders behind us won't give up, and also, be careful of ambushes ahead."

Xiao Gong seemed speechless over the walkie-talkie, "What... exactly is happening?"

No one had expected that the feared crisis would be resolved just like that.

Li Yinuo replied, "Don't ask what you shouldn't."

After speaking, she sincerely said to Uncle Li Dong, "Thank you."

...

Nan Gengchen had been following Li Yinuo for some time now, and he knew that this headstrong and beautiful warrior rarely ever used "you" even when addressing uncles within her clan.

If she couldn't genuinely respect someone, she would never use the word "you."

Nan Gengchen thought to himself, he had even suggested that Qing Chen come to join him if he couldn't make ends meet...

But it turned out Qing Chen was doing much better than he was.

At the very least, Qing Chen didn't have to worry about falling behind on nutrition!

Of course, Nan Gengchen quickly accepted this outcome. After all, he had witnessed this academic god overpowering various academic elites from outside Laojun Mountain, earning their admiration and even privileges from the teachers.

It made sense that such a person would do better in the Inner World than himself!

Nan Gengchen might envy and begrudge Liu Dezhu because he felt it was unfair for even that kind of person to gain status by acknowledging a famous mentor—it made the world seem irrational.

But he couldn't bring himself to feel jealous of Qing Chen, only sincere admiration.

However, up to this point, Li Yinuo had not revealed Uncle Li Dong's identity.

So Nan Gengchen and Qin Yiyi could only guess that Uncle Li Dong was an incredibly important and powerful figure, without knowing exactly who he was.

At that moment, Qin Yiyi suddenly remembered something.

One afternoon she had asked Uncle Li Dong, "What level are you?"

What was his answer again?

S-Class!!!

Back then, Qin Yiyi thought, if you don't want to tell the truth, then forget it.

But now, Qin Yiyi suddenly realized that he might have been telling the truth!

How many S-Class individuals are there in the world? Only a handful!

The look Qin Yiyi gave Uncle Li Dong had changed, but she wasn't happy, as it meant the distance between her and Qing Chen had suddenly grown.

He was no longer the struggling young servant, but the direct disciple of some important figure.

And she was still that hard-scrabble Wildlands girl.

Uncle Li Dong smiled at her, seeming to understand the girl's thoughts, "Remember what I told you, go to the 18th city to find that person."

Qin Yiyi was startled for a moment, as if he had already arranged something for her.

At this moment, Li Yinuo turned her gaze to Qing Chen, the two quietly sizing each other up.

The youth had delicate features, but she had seen plenty of attractive people and wasn't particularly amazed.

Li Yinuo had abandoned her usual carefree demeanor and calmly looked at Qing Chen, "This is your student, isn't he? You were unwilling to take me as your disciple back then; is this student better than me?"

It was exactly this question that made Qin Yiyi and Nan Gengchen realize why she had been complaining about Qing Chen the moment she got into the car.

It was because the beautiful and valiant girl had not become the student of this middle-aged man, and suddenly, his student had appeared before her.

She felt somewhat dissatisfied.

Actually, Li Yinuo had recognized Uncle Li Dong when they first met.

Even though he had pulled up the collar of his jacket.

Even though he had later smeared ash on his face.

But this was a very close elder relative, how could she not recognize him?

Then, she discovered that Uncle Li Dong's destination was also the Taboo Land numbered 002, so she understood that this young man by Uncle Li Dong's side was likely the next Knight Leader.

Because Li Yinuo was very clear about what was in Taboo Land number 002...

Verdant mountains and steep cliffs.

Although Li Yinuo didn't know exactly what the Knight's eight life-and-death trials were, she knew.

That place.

Was where the dreams of Knights of all generations began.

Thinking this, her dissatisfaction grew, "I don't accept him as better!"

Uncle Li Dong thought for a moment, "To be fair, his temperament really is stronger than yours and more suited to the path I teach. Stop causing trouble, you have your own path to follow."

Uncle Li Dong always held back from praising his own student in front of others.

Li Yinuo stared hard at Qing Chen, still somewhat unconvinced, "In what way is my temperament inferior to his? I begged you relentlessly to take me as your disciple, and you were unwilling; what's so special about his background?"

"I can't say now," Uncle Li Dong smiled, knowing that no one in the car would betray Qing Chen, but still he could not reveal it: "As for where his temperament is stronger than yours, you will find out for yourself eventually."

At this moment, Qing Chen was deep in thought.

He had once looked through the Li Family's genealogy because he wanted to see if Li Tongyun was listed, and he was also guessing whether Uncle Li Dong was from the Li family.

But he later found that Uncle Li Dong's name was not there.

Of course, the genealogy was provided by them, and it was normal for them to omit their own name...

During their conversation, Uncle Li Dong did not deliberately avoid topics in front of Li Yinuo, like Qing Chen becoming his student.

Among those in the know, Qin Yiyi was the descendant of Uncle Li Dong's friend, with unquestionable character and temperament, clearly intended to help this young lady find her way.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Nan Gengchen was a good friend of Qing Chen, the very person Qing Chen had endeavored to save on Laojun Mountain. Your journey continues with empire

These were trustworthy individuals.

Actually, Uncle Li Dong was also hinting to Qing Chen that Li Yinuo was one of them.

Until this moment, all the clues Uncle Li Dong had provided on this trip had come together:

He had multiple purposes for this trip, aiming to accomplish many things at once.

The first was to make arrangements for the descendants of the Qin family.

The second was for Qing Chen to eliminate Qing Huai, to vent anger, seek revenge, and remove a powerful rival in the Shadow competition.

The third was for Qing Chen to get to know Li Yinuo.

Considering this, and combining the fact that Li Yinuo had suddenly joined the Autumn Hunting Team, Qing Chen speculated that she might have made this decision after receiving a notification from Uncle Li Dong.

Outmaneuvering the Jindai family was just a way to rationalize his own actions, and of course, succeeding in that would be even better.

Then there was the fourth matter: Uncle Li Dong wanted to take Qing Chen to the verdant mountains, to personally witness him unlocking the first layer of the Genetic Lock!

Qing Chen reflected that, while his teacher seemed at ease on this trip, he was actually quite busy.
