I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 472: Chapter 472: All We Have Is Each Other!

At the entrance of the Xia Alliance Headquarters, a graceful figure leaned against Lingyue.

”Have you been waiting long~”

Xiyue wore a sweet smile on her face, looking stunning under the warm morning glow.

”Not long~ Waiting for you is never a wait~”

Stepping forward to gently take Lin Yi’s arm, Xiyue tilted her head playfully and asked.

”Can I now live the life I dreamed of? By your side, only me~”

As soon as she finished speaking, the space beside Lin Yi flickered, and a petite figure appeared out of nowhere.

”Hmph, are you pretending I don’t exist?”

Lin You pouted, her pretty face showing clear displeasure.

This time, Lin Yi didn’t just watch the two women in their jealous squabble as he usually did, but instead pulled Lin You into an embrace.

”For quite some time ahead, we will have only each other.”

With a blush on her cheeks, Lin You nodded solemnly.

Yes, for the journey ahead, they only had each other!

In the Imperial Capital G Zone, an area specially designated for Shenxiao’s family members, it was quite lively.

Colleagues and friends of Lin Guodong and Xu Qingfang visited them during the weekend to express their gratitude.

That the Imperial Capital could remain intact except for Zone K was entirely thanks to Lin Yi’s intervention last night.

Having a fondness for Lin Yi, but unable to meet him, they chose to express their gratitude to Lin Guodong and his wife for their guidance of Lin Yi.

”Hey, Mr. Lin, no need for such formality in the future. If you don’t mind, just call me Mr. Hu. Even though I’m your superior, I don’t deserve such a title from you.”

”If it weren’t for your son yesterday, who knows if my whole family’s lives could have been preserved.”

”Indeed, Mr. Lin, if it weren’t for your son’s brilliant skills, who knows how many families in the Imperial Capital would be displaced.”

”Saving these lives with gratitude; your son not being around, if you need any help, please do not hesitate to ask.”

People generally possess an instinct to judge by appearances.

When Lin Guodong and his wife first arrived in the Imperial Capital, their colleagues treated them with respect.

Although unspoken, there was always a sense that Lin Yi was exceptionally lucky.

After witnessing the broadcast of the Spirit Crystal’s projected scenes firsthand, every colleague, regardless of rank, treated the couple with nothing but utmost respect.

The visiting guests brought gifts that filled the couple’s warehouse to the brim.

Gazing at the bustling entrance of the Lin Family, where everyone came bearing substantial gifts, a middle-aged man with a portly figure hesitated, holding a paper bag in his hands.

To go in or not?

Having come this far, not going in might cause sleepless nights, and it wouldn’t be easy to explain to those old folks at Jiangcheng Education Bureau.

But if he goes in, would what he brought seem too simple?

Everyone going in or out was impeccably dressed, carrying lavish gifts. What if he disgraced Lin Yi?

While the middle-aged man was hesitating, someone bumped into his right arm.

The paper bag in his hand fell to the ground, its contents shattering everywhere.

Zuo Qian, who regained his senses, had no time to salvage the situation and could only look up angrily at his right-hand side.

”What are you doing! Walking without looking?”

A tall, young woman had one foot already inside the Lin Family’s courtyard. Hearing someone behind her complain, she turned her head abruptly and glared at Zuo Qian.

She gave Zuo Qian a once-over, noting his not-so-high-end attire, his plump figure, and the broken, lower-grade gifts, and her temper flared instantly.

”What do you think you are, daring to speak to me like that?”

”Calling me blind, you’re the one standing here like a roadblock, and I haven’t even complained about you yet. Looking at your shabby appearance, you’re probably here to cause trouble because of the crowd, right?”

Seeing Zuo Qian not responding, focused on cleaning the mess he’d made, the woman got more agitated.

”Ha, it seems I’m right. You, fatso, don’t even know how to pick a good place to cause trouble. Do you even know where this is? It’s the home of Lin Yi, Xia’s number one genius. You have some nerve causing trouble here!”

Saying that, the woman pulled out a wad of Xia currency from her expensive purse and threw it onto Zuo Qian’s head.

”This money is my reward to you. Don’t do these dirty tricks in front of my future husband’s house. Take your money and scram!”

This scene attracted quite a crowd of onlookers.

Anyone with some social connections recognized the woman making a scene at once.

The woman’s name was Liou Wen, the eldest daughter of the listed company Liouwu Group in the Imperial Capital. Nineteen years old, she was studying at Yuzhou Qilin Academy and was a Priest by profession.

Liouwu Group, dabbling in almost all real estate in the Imperial Capital, was very wealthy and influential, also supported by the War God of Xia, with formidable strength.

Liou Wen was not only lovely but also possessed an almost perfect figure, with people often describing her as a favored child of heaven.

But none of these were excuses for her arrogance and willfulness.

”Future husband’s family? I think Lin Yi wouldn’t be interested in a girl of your caliber.”

Liou Wen’s arrogance and willfulness were well-known in the elite circles of the Imperial Capital.

What she believed in, she refused to let others deny.

Suffice to say, Zuo Qian’s words completely infuriated her.

”Old fool, I think you...”

Before she could finish, Liou Wen’s form blurred as she raised her palm to strike Zuo Qian’s face.

The next second, a crisp slap echoed, and Liou Wen sat on the ground, clutching her face in shock.

”Principal, why so formal? You came here, and with such nice things too?”

Looking towards the voice, a handsome young man appeared with a cheerful demeanor.

”Lin, Lin Yi?”

The onlookers thought there was a good show to watch today.

In the Imperial Capital, slapping Liou Wen was considered a one-way ticket to trouble.

But when they saw who had struck, the onlookers felt pity for Liou Wen.

The shame of that slap could only be swallowed, and the middle-aged man who had just been humiliated by Liou Wen clearly had a special relationship with Lin Yi.

With a snap of his fingers, the shattered bottles, jars, and local specialties scattered on the ground floated into the air, rearranged, then sealed in ice.

”Hehe, the principal surely remembers my favorites. Last time I left Jiangcheng in too much of a hurry and forgot to bring some specialties back.”

Liou Wen, having come to her senses and watching the two chatting and laughing, felt the slap mark on her face burning hot.

”Lin Yi!”

”How dare you strike me! Do you even know who I am? Apologize to me at once!”

Accustomed to being haughty, Liou Wen couldn’t swallow this slight. She ignored her initial intention to curry favor with Lin Yi’s parents today.

She pointed at Lin Yi’s nose and began to curse.

”Smack!”

The loud slap startled everyone.

This time, however, it wasn’t Lin Yi’s doing.

Xiyue, dressed casually, looked disdainful as she shook her hand dismissively.

”What, making a scene at my doorstep, and I’m not allowed to teach you a lesson?”
