The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#582 - Sinan

After resolving the issue at the counterfeit site, Lu Jing, along with A'mu and Black Cat, hastened back to the academy to continue teasing the stone python in Nightingale Valley.

The stone python was also very excited to see Lu Jing, an acquaintance, and old and new grudges surged into its heart. Thus, it set up its stance within the Beast Taming Formation and engaged in another fierce battle with the man.

Finally, Lu Jing, feeling satisfied with the release, put away the array disk and drifted away.

However, Lu Jing also had his worries. Although this method of venting his secret power was quick and satisfying, it required him to either stay in the academy all the time or at least take the time to return to the academy every day.

It would be fine if he could sneak out for half a day to handle minor matters like now, but it would be troublesome if he had to go on a long journey.

Especially since Lu Jing had also taken on a task at the Department of Astrology. If he encountered some tricky strange objects while handling a case next time and got entangled for a few days, he would explode from the secret power before the strange objects could do anything to him. That would be a great joke.

So, strictly speaking, Lu Jing's secret power crisis had not completely passed.

In addition to conventional methods, he needed to find a backup plan, even if it couldn't be used all the time, at least for emergencies.

This couldn't help but make Lu Jing start to worry again, and the joy of successfully cultivating a new medicine garden and recruiting farmers was also diluted a lot.

However, since things had come to this, complaining was useless. He could only cheer himself up again and start thinking about solutions.

Before Lu Jing could figure out a solution, he saw a black nightingale landing on his courtyard wall.

He recognized it as Kui's messenger, so he quickly opened the courtyard door.

Sure enough, he saw Kui in a green robe standing outside his door.

The latter didn't waste any words and directly took out something from her arms and handed it over.

Lu Jing was stunned when he took it, because it was actually a spoon.

Fortunately, Kui then handed over a stone slab.

Lu Jing put the stone slab and the spoon together and finally knew what it was, "A Sinan?"

Kui nodded, "This Sinan can help you find flying swords. Of course, the prerequisite is that the flying sword must be within a twenty-mile radius. This Sinan will rotate on its own and point to the location of the flying sword. It is not a strange object. It should be a relic left by a senior in the Department of Astrology, relying on the operation of the formation.

"I also accidentally obtained it by chance, but I don't cultivate flying swords myself, so this thing is useless to me, so I'll give it to you as a thank you for your help before."

Lu Jing scratched his head. He was no longer a newbie who had just entered the academy. He knew how high the value of a flying sword was.

And this Sinan can locate and find flying swords, even if it is only flying swords within a twenty-mile radius, the value will definitely not be low.

Although Kui said that Lu Jing helped her in Lingyang last time, Lu Jing felt that he didn't seem to have done anything, just exposed a guy who wanted to impersonate a supervisor to trick him.

As for Kui, she completely escaped on her own.

However, this Sinan was indeed something that Lu Jing urgently needed, so he still shamelessly accepted it, and then said to Kui, "Then you can come to me for anything in the future, free of charge."

Kui still had that expressionless face when she heard this, but after a pause, she added, "You have to be more careful when you go out in the future."

"Hmm?" Lu Jing raised his eyebrows.

"You should have heard of Ji Xiansheng's name, right?"

"Yeah, I remember this guy seems to refine people into strange objects, and his ambition doesn't seem to be small. He has been doing things all over the place, and maybe the chaos in the world now has him stirring up trouble behind the scenes," Lu Jing said.

"You have ruined his plans several times before. He has already noticed you. The incident that happened in Lingyang County before was a trap he set to take the opportunity to get rid of you," Kui said.

"Me?" Lu Jing was a little surprised. He admitted that he had blocked Ji Xiansheng a lot during this period, but logically speaking, Ji Xiansheng's people basically took the initiative to start the group, and as a result, they were unlucky enough to run into him. The group was wiped out, the ones who slipped away slipped away, and the ones who were greened were greened. Can this be counted on his head?

Moreover, if we talk about threats, why not focus fire on Guo Shouhuai, who is so big, but come to trouble him, such a small character? Could it be that Ji Xiansheng is picking on the weak, then this Ji Xiansheng's pattern is a bit too small.

After speaking, Kui had already turned around and planned to leave without waiting for Lu Jing to answer.

"Wait..." Lu Jing called her again, "What should we do about the spies? Just leave him in the department like this?"

Kui stopped, "I have already reported this matter to Guo Shaojian. He should have a way to find the spies, but..."

"But what?"

"That day, I met Ji Xiansheng. Based on my observation of him, he seems to be very confident that the spies will not be found, or he doesn't care about the spies being found at all," Kui said.

"What kind of person is that guy?"

"Who?"

"Ji Xiansheng, didn't you see him? Can you talk to me about him?" Lu Jing asked.

"Why do you want to know about Ji Xiansheng?" Kui turned around again and looked at Lu Jing.

Lu Jing shrugged, "You said it, he has already set his sights on me. Since I can't avoid it, then it's better to learn more about the enemy so I can prepare earlier, right?"

Kui thought for a while, but the words she said surprised Lu Jing greatly.

"I don't think he is a bad person, at least not the kind of bad person who burns, kills, loots, and plunders to satisfy his own selfish desires, nor is he completely the kind of ambitious person who only wants to dominate the world. He will destroy some things, not because he likes to destroy, but to build new houses on that ruin.

"In addition, he is not quite the same as I imagined. He has an extraordinary human touch, which is probably why he has so many followers," Kui said.

"Is that so? He sounds like a very interesting person."
