I'm just an assistant, I don't save people

Chapter 405 Space Repairer

Lin Yan sat cross-legged on the sofa, hands on his knees, and after thinking carefully for a moment, replied with three words: "Wait for him to ask."

Zhang Jinglue understood Lin Yan's meaning and remained silent without asking.

Whether it's the discussion caused by Zhang Zhou and Yun Bai's simultaneous appearance in the Li Guang Forest, or the butterfly effect triggered by the human and ghost saving the spirit tree, the new students will ask about it sooner or later.

It's just unknown how significant this impact will be from the perspective of people standing on different points of view.

All we know for now is that the leadership didn't intervene immediately, so it's not the worst-case scenario.

Lin Yan asked, "By the way, is Zhang Zhou alright?"

Zhang Jinglue patted his chest and said, "Who am I? How could anything happen to me? Besides, I gained something else from this trip to the Liguang Forest."

"You?" Wasn't she the one who gained something? Zhang Zhou just went over to fight, did he actually benefit from it?

"Ah."

Lin Yan asked, "What did you find?"

He said, "The whereabouts of Blue Bridge."

"Huh?" Lin Yan hesitated for a moment, then exclaimed in shock, "Wasn't he dead?"

Zhang Jinglue looked completely bewildered. "Who told you he was dead?"

Lin Yan thought for a moment, "What Qin Jialin said is true. Lan Qiao might be like Qin Rong, stripped of his original attributes and turned into a dark type. Wouldn't that mean he'd die?"

"Wait, Lan Qiao is the same as Qin Rong? From our current perspective, we and Qin Rong are all members of the Zhou family, and so is Lan Qiao?"

“Yes…” Lin Yan thought for a moment, then added “I guess so” if she wasn’t sure.

She asked, "Where is Lanqiao now?"

Zhang Jinglue replied, "I'm still investigating the exact location. All I know is that he's in the hands of the Six Departments. The Six Departments want the heart of the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Tree in order to save him."

Lin Yan exclaimed in surprise, "How is that possible?!"

Zhang Jinglue nodded and said, "It's true. Ye Heifeng said that Lanqiao can lead to a place, which is why the Six Departments attach so much importance to it. I guess it is the Dragon Clan's Secret Realm."

Lin Yan said, "The restoration of the secret realm shouldn't be that quick."

"Regardless of whether the secret realm has been repaired or not, the timing doesn't match up. You met Lan Feiyu after you returned from the Liguang Forest."

However, Ye Heifeng had already received the bounty while we were in the Liguang Forest, so Lanqiao was able to freely enter and exit the secret realm while it was still in a state of imbalance.

"I have a conclusion, but I need to confirm it with someone." Lin Yan took out his phone and searched for contacts.

"Confirm with whom?"

"The person in charge of Beihai City, Chu Sheng," Lin Yan said while typing the message. "Do you have a photo of Lan Qiao?"

"Have."

"Send it."

Zhang Jinglue took out his phone and sent it to her.

Lin Yan sent the picture of Lanqiao to Chu Sheng, and Chu Sheng replied instantly with a long message.

Lin Yan curiously sent a message asking: How did you know I was going to ask this? The reply was so quick.

Message pop-up: None.

Message pop-up: This is my usual typing speed, but I know this person too well.

After reading what he posted, Lin Yan turned to Zhang Jinglue and said, "That's right, Lan Qiao, like Qin Jialin, is not an indigenous person."

Chu Sheng said he was a space repairman, a very famous one, and many city leaders wanted to recruit him. Chu Sheng had tried to poach him countless times, but Tianluo City was his first place of work, and he had an emotional attachment to it and didn't want to leave.

Zhang Jinglue suddenly realized: "No wonder Bai Xiao initially targeted Lan Qiao; they even deliberately set up their base at the place where Lan Qiao works."

As he spoke, he thought of something and said with a sense of dread, "With Lan Qiao's identity, if we abduct the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Tree halfway, aren't we doomed?"

Before Lin Yan could say anything, Zhang Jinglue had already calmed himself down. "If this matter were really that big, the leaders wouldn't have gone so long without contacting us."

"Why don't we just ask?" Lin Yan decisively picked up his phone and asked about Lanqiao's strength.

After asking the question, Lin Yan stared at his phone, his expression unreadable.

Zhang Jinglue: ? ?

Lin Yan said, "Chu Sheng said that Lan Qiao's strength is almost on par with the top leader, which means that even the new recruits have to give him some face. Lan Qiao came here by going against time to repair the space, otherwise we would never have met him."

Zhang Jinglue paused for a moment, "Space repairers can accurately pinpoint which spacetime is experiencing problems. This profession is truly terrifying. That's right, in our upper world, they don't need to exert this kind of effort to save people. Just send a Qingyan at the Sealed Void Realm, and the Spirit Tree won't survive for more than half an hour."

Chu Sheng sent a message asking: How are you doing over there? Is work going well?

Lin Yan sighed: "Oh, it almost failed."

Initial Rise: ? ? Wasn't Lan Feiyu's problem solved?

Lin Yan: Lan Feiyu's body has a legacy mark that I can't suppress, and my own body is too fragile.

Chu Sheng: Heh, that's easy. Just come to Beihai City, and I'll give you a boost in advanced inheritance.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Thanks, but I've already put aside my studies of new techniques during this time."

Zhang Jinglue asked in confusion, "What are you talking about? You seem to be having a great time."

"I was chatting with Chu Sheng, and he wanted me to go to Beihai."

First level: Intermediate and higher level spells are difficult to learn, and it takes hundreds or thousands of years to master them. I have been studying them for a long time. It's useless for you to work on low-level ones. Come to Beihai and have some fun. I have plenty of resources and even more inheritances. You can choose whatever you like.

"See for yourself." Lin Yan held up his phone to show Zhang Jinglue, "His city is relatively stable, there aren't many jobs, he's bored out of his mind every day."

Zhang Jinglue said listlessly, "I'm so bored I'm going to get moldy. When I'm officially promoted, give me some tasks."

"It'll be done soon, it'll be done this year."

He stood up and said goodbye, "Alright, it seems like nothing serious happened on this trip. I should go back to school. Pei Qian heard the sound of monsters talking in the city earlier. There might be adult transformed beasts in the city. Be careful."

"Okay, contact me by phone if needed."

Lin Yan watched him leave, then replied to Chu Sheng that she would definitely visit him sometime.

Then she looked down at the sealed Xiaolan in the corner, switched bodies, and planted the Butterfly Shadow Mark on her.

Ya Mengyao's magic is extremely difficult to master; she has only learned seven of the magic spells in the rubbings.

Butterfly Shadow Seal is a soul-searching spell. It can uncover the past, present, and even previous lives of any living or dead creature that is cursed.

A black butterfly appeared between Xiaolan's eyebrows, constantly absorbing her memories. Five minutes later, the butterfly flew to Lin Yan's palm, turned into a cloud of mist, and dissipated in the surroundings.

Lin Yan then possessed a complete set of memories, and the outcome was even worse than Xiao Ye had anticipated!

Xiao Lan had already developed a demonic heart before she met her! However, the demonic heart was resolutely sealed more than sixty years ago, and Xiao Lan was truly unaware of it.

Lin Yan closed his eyes.

Xiao Ye noticed that Lin Yan's mood was off, so she came out of the storage device and asked, "Master, do you need Xiao Ye to give you some advice?"

Lin Yan shook his head, "Let's seal Xiao Lan for now, and talk to her after we get rid of her second thought."

“Okay,” Xiao Ye nodded. Lin Yan had already made a decision not to kill Xiao Lan, so the next step was to reduce the risk of exposure.
