The next morning.
After absorbing the trace of purple energy from the horizon.
Zhou Yu received a message from Lin Weidong.
He walked out of the villa and saw Lin Weidong practicing punches at the entrance!
"Old Lin is truly diligent," Zhou Yu exclaimed.
He didn't even waste the time he was waiting!
Upon seeing Zhou Yu, Lin Weidong immediately stopped his movements and stood still.
He said with a smile.
"To be honest, although I'm not young anymore, I always feel there's still a glimmer of hope to break through my realm!"
Currently, Lin Weidong was at the Houtian Anjin (Internal Force) stage.
This was a full realm higher than when he first met Zhou Yu!
This also rekindled Lin Weidong's hope.
Perhaps, within his lifetime, he could break through Anjin and reach Huajin (Transforming Force).
Or even reach Xiantian (Innate)...
Of course, these were just Lin Weidong's thoughts.
As for how far he could go.
Lin Weidong himself was unsure.
"Alright, let's go cultivate first."
"The true qi in the early morning is the purest, greatly aiding cultivation."
Zhou Yu said calmly.
He led Lin Weidong to a wooded area.
The two immediately sat cross-legged and entered a meditative state!
With each breath.
It was soon noon.
As the midday sun shone on them, Zhou Yu slowly raised his head.
Exhaling a turbid breath.
Lin Weidong also awoke from his meditation.
"How was it?" Zhou Yu saw Lin Weidong's face filled with joy and immediately knew that he must have gained something from this excursion.
As expected.
Lin Weidong said blissfully, "Nothing much, I just feel my realm has loosened considerably."
Zhou Yu smiled. "If Old Lin has any energy left, you can try to expand your true qi to temper your meridians."
"If your meridians are strong, it will be twice as effective for future cultivation!"
Lin Weidong nodded.
He had also noticed.
That his true qi seemed more active today when cultivating with Zhou Yu!
"Let's go, we should eat something back home first to fill our stomachs." Zhou Yu stood up and stretched.
Just as he was about to leave, Lin Weidong stopped him.
Lin Weidong smiled and said, "I called Leng Xue yesterday. The progress on the Shadow organization side isn't ideal."
"I want to go take a look today. Does Divine Doctor Zhou want to come along?"
Although Zhou Yu wasn't technically a member of the Dragon Group.
To Lin Weidong, there was no difference.
The reason he invited Zhou Yu.
Was because the truth serum was developed by Zhou Yu.
With Zhou Yu's intelligence and his medical skills.
Perhaps they could make Shadow confess!
Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, intending to refuse.
Unexpectedly, Lin Weidong continued, "As long as Divine Doctor Zhou comes with me, I'll come to your house for meals every day!"
At first glance.
Lin Weidong's words seemed out of the blue.
But Zhou Yu understood!
What was Zhou Yu most bothered by right now?
It was naturally Su Yuyan and Zhu Ling'er living together in Yunlan Tiangong.
Caught between these two women, Zhou Yu felt awkward whether he sat or stood!
Normally, it was fine.
Zhou Yu was either cultivating or somewhere else.
But during meals, Zhou Yu couldn't possibly avoid them!
He would eventually have to face them!
So Lin Weidong coming for meals actually eased Zhou Yu's awkwardness.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu immediately agreed, "Alright, I'll go then!"
Lin Weidong beamed with joy.
He also felt a sense of profound emotion.
Whether it was Su Yuyan, Zhu Ling'er, or even Zhao Ruyue.
Each of them was like a fairy.
Countless wealthy young men were lining up, wanting to marry them.
But Zhou Yu, on the other hand.
Not only treated these three women equally but also showed no interest!
Lin Weidong couldn't help but think, no wonder Zhou Yu, at such a young age, possessed such unfathomable strength.
With no women in his heart, his sword naturally becomes divine!
However.
After cultivating all morning.
They were both exhausted.
They needed to go home and eat something before heading to Leng Xue's place.
Lin Weidong kept his promise and followed Zhou Yu to the mountaintop of Yunlan Tiangong.
At this moment.
Su Yuyan had already prepared lunch.
Just as she was about to call Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu pushed the door open with Lin Weidong.
"Smells amazing! What's for lunch today?" Lin Weidong quickly stepped forward and eagerly approached the dining table.
Su Yuyan was momentarily surprised, then smiled and introduced, "Just home-style cooking today, Mapo Tofu and Eggplant Rolls."
The sauce was made by Su Yuyan herself.
It was a bit different from what was served in restaurants.
Zhou Yu also walked over and took a whiff.
Putting aside other things.
If one ignored the subtle rivalry between the two women, Zhou Yu felt he was quite fortunate.
Su Yuyan prepared delicious meals for him with various dishes every day!
Zhou Yu didn't stand on ceremony and immediately sat at the table.
Lin Weidong sat next to Zhou Yu, and the two devoured the food.
Su Yuyan's smile deepened seeing her cooking being appreciated.
The meal was finished very quickly.
Zhou Yu drank a bowl of soup.
Then he stood up and said, "I might not be back for a few days. If you two need to go out, you can use my car first."
"If there's anything you need to buy, just get it yourselves, no need to ask me."
Su Yuyan put down her chopsticks and said with some reluctance, "You just returned to Yunhai City, and you're leaving again?"
Zhou Yu couldn't tell Su Yuyan where he was going.
After all, Leng Xue was dealing with members of the Shadow organization, and the location was a Dragon Group secret.
Therefore, Zhou Yu vaguely replied, "I have something to take care of."
After speaking, Zhou Yu left with Lin Weidong.
As they walked, Lin Weidong clicked his tongue.
"That Su family girl's eyes were almost watering. You're quite heartless, aren't you!"
Zhou Yu gave Lin Weidong a sideways glance and said helplessly, "What else can I do? I can't exactly tie her to my leg and drag her around."
Lin Weidong stroked his chin and said with a smile, "That's not impossible either."
This left Zhou Yu utterly speechless.
A twitching mouth and a bead of sweat.
Zhou Yu's car was left for Zhu Ling'er and Su Yuyan to use.
So to get to Leng Xue's place, they had to take a ride in Lin Weidong's car.
Lin Weidong had a dedicated driver.
They only needed to sit in the back seat.
Along the way, Zhou Yu inquired about the progress at Leng Xue's end.
"Everyone else has confessed. Leng Xue and her team have already captured all the overt strongholds of the Shadow organization."
"However, there's still one crucial piece of information that only Shadow himself would know!"
Lin Weidong stated.
Zhou Yu sat up straighter, his brow furrowed. "What is it?"
Lin Weidong sighed. "Do you remember the ledger found during the freshman training camp?"
"Currently, the Dragon Group has found many similar ledgers, but they are all marked with codenames!"
"To find out which families are secretly trading and cooperating with the Shadow organization, we need to decipher those codenames."
