Chapter 39: The Return of the Group Members
Yuan Lai was caught, and the Changan Red Tea case came to an abrupt end.
Su Wuming and the others hadn't even found the hallucinogenic ingredient in the tea—Western Illusion Grass—before they encountered the mastermind, which had to be said was Su Haoming's credit.
The shot he fired at Yin Shilong completely disrupted all the plans of both sides.
Yuan Lai lost his most important CEO, and in a fit of anger, decided to kill Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming in advance, leading to a series of chain reactions.
Regarding this, Lin Yu and Su Haoming didn't feel there was any problem.
After leaving the Ghost Market, the two parted ways. Su Haoming sneaked back to the County Lieutenant's residence, took off the Yu Hao mask, and while excitedly sharing the experience just now in the group, waited for his cousin and the others to capture Yuan Lai.
As for Lin Yu, he had finally "shaken off" the lock of the main universe, so naturally, he wanted to take a good stroll in this vibrant world with his long-lost freedom!
But before that, Xiang Yunye from the Frieren world also had to say goodbye to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu's main body warmly sent him off, and before leaving, he brought a small gift for Xiang Yunye, which was the magic pistol of the same style as Su Haoming's.
Although the crystal on the pistol had not been modified by the internal circulation matrix, Xiang Yunye now had an artificial spiritual root and could fully rely on the magic power in his body to recharge it.
Similarly, Su Haoming was the same, but they didn't want to reveal their identities at the time, so they didn't dare to use the pistol.
Accompanied by a strong silver light, the world before them gradually faded away.
Xiang Yunye couldn't help but close his eyes. When he opened them again, he had returned to his room.
Looking at the gentle sunlight coming through the window, Xiang Yunye realized that it should be the morning of the second day.
He looked at the books, spiritual stones, and pistol he was carrying. After a moment of thought, he stuffed the spiritual stones into his bosom, tucked the pistol into his waist, and hid the books in a secret compartment under the bed board before pushing open the door and walking out.
"Creak——"
The sound of the door pushing woke up the person on the recliner at the door.
Xiang Yunye's raised right foot hovered in the air, looking at the aged face at the door with surprise.
"Grandma?!"
"Why are you here?"
Grandma Yun woke up on the recliner and said with a smile: "Ye Ge'er spoke so solemnly yesterday, it must be related to your immortal teacher!"
"Although the servants and guards have been screened and are very loyal, human hearts are separated by bellies after all. How can I trouble them with such important matters? As for our own family, they are all clumsy and foolish. Letting them guard the door, I really can't rest assured..."
Xiang Yunye was moved in his heart, but his expression was helpless: "So you guarded the door for me yourself?"
Before the words had faded, Grandma stood up, and Xiang Yunye hurriedly stepped forward to support her.
"Don't do this next time, how can my grandson's affairs be more important than your health!"
Grandma shook her head with a smile and whispered: "Is Ye Ge'er's business... finished?"
"Finished!"
Feeling the magic power flowing in the Ren and Du meridians in his body, a smile appeared on Xiang Yunye's face. He leaned into Grandma's ear and said: "Don't walk around outside for the next few days. Sun Er has learned some incredible skills, perhaps I can condition your body..."
……
……
Just as Xiang Yunye was interacting warmly with his family, Lin Yu in the Frieren world was not idle either.
Just like when Su Haoming returned before, Lin Yu also observed Xiang Yunye's return and found that the group chat's return indeed adopted a more profound method.
Compared to the portal when arriving, the return was more like the repulsion of the Frieren world and the attraction of the group member's home world.
This couldn't help but make Lin Yu feel a little disappointed.
He had hoped that after the stay time ended, he could leave his clone in the Tang Gui world!
But now it seems that this might lead to an irreversible disaster in the Tang Gui world...
Of course, nothing in the world is difficult for those who have a heart.
Lin Yu was not discouraged, but instead planned to take advantage of the remaining time to study the method of staying.
This was not empty talk; Lin Yu already had two feasible ideas in his heart.
The first was to bypass the group chat and directly connect to the group member's world.
As early as the first time he used the invitation letter, Lin Yu had learned some of the group chat's methods.
Now, he didn't need to use his own authority to open a stable portal between the Frieren world and the main universe.
If he learned the group chat's method of locating the group member's world, he could bypass the group chat and enter the group member's world directly!
However, due to the characteristics of the endless void, locating the coordinates of the group member's world was destined to be an extremely difficult task, which was why Lin Yu had the second idea—that is, to deceive the world consciousness and smuggle into the group member's world.
The group chat's return relied on the world's own repulsion and attraction.
This showed that during the stay, these two forces had already been shielded by the group chat's methods.
Lin Yu really wanted to know how the group chat achieved this. If he could learn this method, or borrow this idea to find a similar method, he could stay in this world indefinitely!
Back to the point, for Lin Yu's vast consciousness, multitasking was just the basics.
While studying these two methods, he could also enjoy the feeling of freedom.
Thus, in the next twenty-three hours, the Tang Gui world welcomed a true immortal god and saw many legends related to immortals emerge in a single day.
In Yanzhou, Henan Circuit, scholars were enjoying the sunrise on Mount Tai when they saw an immortal appear on the summit. His steps were in the void, each step turning into clouds, causing the surrounding sea of clouds to surge endlessly, and finally, he escaped into the rosy light.
In Yuezhou, Jiangnan Circuit, a painted boat returned on Dongting Lake and saw a white-clad youth boating on the lake. The singing girls on the boat teased him because of his handsomeness. The youth, unable to bear the harassment, waved his sleeves and summoned clouds and mist to cover his figure.
After going ashore, the singing girls were amazed and discussed it endlessly. The owner of the painted boat had a flash of inspiration and actively spread the news, renaming the boat "Meeting the Immortal" from then on.
……
On Mount Wuyi, Jianzhou, a well-known tea picker walked across Jiulongke and saw a handsome youth sitting on the treetops under the mother tree of Da Hong Pao. His fingertips condensed dew into a cup, and he waved his hand to attract sunlight, boiling and brewing tea in the air.
In an instant, a strange fragrance filled the valley, refreshing the heart.
The tea picker was attracted by the fragrance and couldn't help but step forward. The youth invited him with a smile, casually summoned clouds and mist, and the two used clouds as a pot and mist as a cup to taste tea and discuss the Dao.
After the pot was finished, the youth disappeared without a trace. The tea picker woke up in a daze and realized he had met a true immortal.
……
In Nanzhou, Shannan Circuit, there were four masters of zither, tea, calligraphy, and poetry, known as the Four Sons of Nanzhou.
One of the four, Lu Gongfu, had unparalleled zither skills and was revered as a master of the ancient zither.
At that time, Lu Gongfu was playing the zither at home for fun. An immortal rode a cloud past, felt the zither music, and stopped to listen.
After the song was finished, the immortal clapped and laughed, fell from the clouds into the courtyard, and wanted to exchange four green dates for Lu Gongfu's zither music.
Lu Gongfu was surprised and agreed happily. Afterward, the immortal was gone. Lu Gongfu called the four sons to share the green dates, and each of them grew black hair, all hidden diseases disappeared, showing signs of rejuvenation.
……
Besides this, in Huazhou, Guannei Circuit, an immortal stone carving was added to the summit of Mount Hua.
In Yizhou, Jiannan Circuit, there were suspected immortal inscriptions on the summit of Mount Emei.
Tianshan, Huangshan, Lushan...
West Lake, Taihu Lake, Panyang Lake...
In a single day, Lin Yu traveled across the three mountains and five peaks, the five lakes and four seas.
In most places, he just went to appreciate them and didn't leave anything behind. Only when he discovered traces of Tang people nearby would he have a whim and leave his footprints.
To make better use of time, he even accelerated his thinking speed and slowed down his own perceived time.
Therefore, in those uninhabited places, Lin Yu actually only stayed for a very short time.
The naked eye couldn't capture his figure at that time, only seeing a stream of light flickering everywhere in the sky.
Of course, besides leaving traces, Lin Yu also took away many good things along the way.
Among them were the Tianshan Rare Orchids that Su Wuming had mentioned, and some treasures that did not appear in the TV series, such as the four green dates given to the Four Sons of Nanzhou...
Nanzhou is a fictional place name in the TV series; in reality, it should be Yuzhou, Shannan West Circuit, which is now Chongqing City.
