Super Gene Hunting Ground

Yang Xiao brought Xiao Ling to the Genetic Store, and several employees inside eagerly attended to them.

Yang Xiao took out a Black Gold Card,

”Could you please check if there’s still money in it for me?”

”Sure, please wait a moment.”

An employee swiped Yang Xiao’s Black Crystal Card on a machine behind the counter, then asked Yang Xiao to scan his palm print password.

With a ”beep” sound.

The employee glanced at the display screen of the machine, looked up, and said:

”Young Master Yang, your Black Crystal Card contains ten billion Crystal Coins.”

Yang Xiao was pleased to hear this.

It seemed that the information from the Wildman’s side was very reliable, and their efficiency in handling matters was quick, indicating that everything was normal on that side.

Standing next to Yang Xiao, Xiao Ling was immediately unsettled upon hearing this.

Ten billion?

A few days ago, Yang Xiao had just spent ten billion from the card, and now he had recharged another ten billion, without even needing to return home to recharge it himself. What’s going on with Yang Xiao?

Could it really be as he claimed, that he is the leader of the Purple Origin Star?

This is absolutely impossible, right?

Seeing Xiao Ling’s shocked and dazed expression, Yang Xiao found it funny and said to the employee:

”Get her some Genetic Potion.”

”Sure, please step into the VIP room.”

Yang Xiao nodded and led Xiao Ling to the VIP room.

The employee asked about Xiao Ling’s situation and brought out several bottles of potion for her.

Although Xiao Ling’s attribute value had already reached 108 points, increasing by 1 point only cost 600 million Crystal Coins, which was far too less compared to Yang Xiao.

Xiao Ling increased her attribute value by 4 points, spending 2.4 billion Crystal Coins.

As they left the Genetic Store, Xiao Ling held onto Yang Xiao’s arm and joyfully sighed:

”It’s awesome to have a wealthy boyfriend, haha...”

Yang Xiao: ”...”

...

Yang Xiao found the Dean, Zhu Peng.

”Director Pig, I want to know if the three assassins who tried to kill me the other night were sent by the Qin family.”

Regarding the assassination motive of the Wind and Fire Wheel brothers, Yang Xiao and Xiao Ling speculated various possibilities, and finally determined only one: that they were assassins sent by the Qin family.

Yang Xiao had not been at Flying Leopard Academy for long, and other than enmity with the Qin family, there was no one else who would be so intent on sending people to assassinate him.

As for this enmity, Yang Xiao certainly wouldn’t let it go easily.

Although Xiao Ling narrowly escaped death, it could only be said she was lucky.

If Xiao Ling hadn’t blocked three swords for Yang Xiao, perhaps Yang Xiao would already be dead.

Zhu Peng glanced at Yang Xiao and said:

”Yang Xiao, we are in pursuit of the escaped Ding Lun, and so far we haven’t caught him, which makes it impossible to determine their motive and purpose for assassinating you.”

After a pause, Zhu Peng continued:

”Fortunately, Xiao Ling is safe now, which is a relief. You should not push this matter too hard.

Forgive my bluntness, but if it is confirmed that the Qin family is indeed behind it, what are you planning to do?”

”Rest assured, I will not foolishly go to the Qin family to challenge them, but I will seek revenge on them for this enmity sooner or later.”

Zhu Peng nodded slightly and said:

”I am very relieved that you can handle this calmly. The academy will strengthen security patrols to ensure your safety as much as possible.”

”Thank you, Director Pig, for your concern.”

Yang Xiao got up and left.

Once Yang Xiao left, Zhu Peng also sighed deeply.

In fact, the academy had indeed captured the runaway Ding Lun, who had confessed that the Qin family was behind the assassination attempt on Yang Xiao at the Flying Leopard Academy.

Zhu Peng reported the matter to Dean Xinghai.

Upon hearing it, Xinghai said one thing:

”Kill Ding Lun, strictly seal the information, and do not let Yang Xiao know.”

”Dean, even if Yang Xiao doesn’t know, he can still speculate that the Qin family sent the Ding Lun brothers to assassinate him.”

”Then let him speculate. Without concrete evidence, Yang Xiao should not recklessly seek revenge on the Qin family. I’m doing this to actually protect him.

Yang Xiao is young and impulsive, and with his girlfriend nearly dying, his anger must be enormous. Once it’s confirmed that the Qin family tried to assassinate him, I’m afraid he’ll do something foolish out of impulse.”

Zhu Peng also agreed that this was the best way to handle it for now.

Yang Xiao naturally wasn’t just someone who mindlessly goes on rampages.

Since the Earth Catastrophe began, he had experienced too much, with the opponents always holding an overwhelming advantage. In such situations, impulsiveness often brings unimaginable disasters.

Yang Xiao sought out Zhu Peng to inquire about the outcome, just to confirm whether the Qin family was behind the assassination attempt.

...

Flying Leopard Empire Capital, Qin family.

An impressive and slightly plump old man arrived at the gates of the Qin Mansion.

The two guards at the gate immediately stepped forward,

”May I ask who you are looking for?”

The two guards, having welcomed countless guests from outside the gate for years, could easily discern a person’s social status and wealth from a mere glance, even determining if they were a Genetic Evolution Expert.

The two men saw the portly elder’s impressive demeanor and spoke very respectfully.

This person was none other than Dean Xinghai of the Flying Leopard Academy.

Xinghai smiled faintly and said:

”Tell your master, Qin Chuan, that the old Xinghai from Flying Leopard Academy is here to visit.”

Flying Leopard Academy was famously renowned throughout the entire Flying Leopard Empire. Upon hearing this, the two guards were startled inside and quickly bowed, saying:

”So it’s the Dean. Greetings, Dean. Please come in. We will inform our master immediately.”

The two men led Dean Xinghai into the Qin family’s courtyard, while one quickly ran ahead to report to Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan had been unhappy and melancholy ever since his two sons died.

”Master, Dean Xinghai of the Flying Leopard Academy has come to see you. We have already led him to the parlor.”

Qin Chuan was taken aback. Why did the old Xinghai suddenly come to the Qin family to find him?

Although he and Xinghai were somewhat acquainted, Xinghai had never visited the Qin family before.

Because of the affair involving his sons being killed by Yang Xiao, Qin Chuan harbored intense hatred toward Flying Leopard Academy, extending his animus to Xinghai as well. If the Qin family could contend with the academy, he might have had the impulse to eradicate it.

”Dean Xinghai came to see me? Did he mention what it’s about?”

”No, he just asked us to notify you.”

”Hmm, take me to see him.”

Despite his inner resentment towards Xinghai, Qin Chuan dared not offend him overtly. After all, Flying Leopard Academy held a significant position throughout the Flying Leopard Empire. Even the Emperor had to show respect to Xinghai.

Qin Chuan arrived at the reception hall, where Xinghai was already drinking tea.

”Oh my, it’s the Dean! I apologize for not welcoming you sooner. Please forgive me!”

”Hehe, Qin Chuan, you have always harbored a grudge against me. No need for formalities.”

Qin Chuan was taken aback and said calmly:

”I’m merely a businessman, how could I dare hold a grudge against the Dean? Flying Leopard Academy is a national treasure, who in the empire would dare to provoke it?”

”Hehe, your words sound full of resentment. Due to your son Qin Xiaotian’s affair, you’ve been suppressing a lot of grievances and anger. Feel free to vent your anger at me; this old man is here to listen.”

Dean Xinghai’s straightforward remarks made Qin Chuan feel slightly ashamed.

Qin Chuan sighed emotionally and said:

”My son was not skilled and died at the hands of another. I, Qin Chuan, can only accept this as fate. What brings the Dean here today?”

”I’ve come to save your entire Qin family!”

Dean Xinghai held the teacup and smiled.

Qin Chuan’s mind buzzed, staring blankly at Dean Xinghai.

After a while, Qin Chuan regained his senses,

”Dean, what do you mean by that?”

Xinghai glanced at the two guards in the hall.

Qin Chuan understood and waved his hand, saying:

”You both may leave. Close the door behind you. No one is allowed to disturb me without my permission.”

”Yes!”

The two guards exited the hall, closing the door behind them.

Xinghai took a sip of tea, looked at Qingchuan, and smiled:

”Boss Qin, I think you’ve lost clarity in your business dealings.”

”?”

”Sending someone to infiltrate Flying Leopard Academy, to assassinate students and mentors — is this a charge the Qin family can bear?”

Qin Chuan felt a shiver inside; what he had anticipated had finally happened.

Nonetheless, he maintained his composure and said:

”Dean, your words are unfair to our Qin family. I’ve always been a law-abiding businessman. How could I possibly send someone to infiltrate the Flying Leopard Academy to assassinate others? You must have been mistaken.”

”Did you send the Ding brothers — Ding Feng, Ding Huo, Ding Lun — into Flying Leopard Academy?”

”?”

”Several days ago, the three attempted to assassinate Yang Xiao under the cover of night — the student who killed Qin Xiaotian in the arena. They mistakenly killed Yang Xiao’s mentor, Xiao Ling. If not for her serendipitous fortune, she would have died on the spot.

Boss Qin, as you know, the Flying Leopard Emperor once issued a Holy Decree for Flying Leopard Academy, stating that anyone daring to disrupt the academy’s normal teaching and operations is an enemy of the empire.

Does Boss Qin wish to become an enemy of the empire, or do you think the Qin family’s wealth can contend against Flying Leopard Academy, and even the whole empire?”

When Dean Xinghai spoke, his tone was gentle, as if telling a story unrelated to him.

However, every word struck Qin Chuan’s ears like thunder, causing his heart to tremble in fear.

Qin Chuan was well aware of the Flying Leopard Emperor’s affection for Flying Leopard Academy. It was undeniably the talent cradle of the Flying Leopard Empire, absolutely not tolerating any sabotage.

Even members of the Royal Family were not exempt.

Once a royal descendant acted arrogantly in Flying Leopard Academy and raped a female mentor, he was publicly executed by Flying Leopard Academy.

The Flying Leopard Emperor not only didn’t protect him but also supported the academy and warned all royals against provoking it.

Qin Chuan coldly said:

”Dean, how can you assert that the Ding brothers were sent by me? Perhaps they have a personal vendetta against Yang Xiao?”

”Hehe, without evidence, do you think I would come to Qin Mansion rashly?”

As Dean Xinghai spoke, he took out a jade slip with stored imagery and activated genetic evolution energy.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot from the jade slip, and Ding Lun’s figure appeared mid-air.

That was Zhu Peng and the others interrogating Ding Lun.

Ding Lun pleaded:

”We didn’t want to kill Yang Xiao; it was the Qin family who instructed us to come. The Qin family gave us ten billion Crystal Coins, telling us to find an opportunity to assassinate Yang Xiao, saying they would bear all consequences.”
