There was a garden near Shrek. Almost no one would come here usually, so this was the most suitable place to discuss secrets.

Thus, Shangguan Fei 'er had invited Chen Boyan here to tell him about Liu Jin.

Of course, she only told Chen Boyan the location when he gave her Liang Zifeng's two rank-3 soul devices.

"Where's the information?" Chen Boyan sat on the fence beside the flowers and asked.

"Here." Shangguan Fei 'er took out a stack of papers from her back and handed it to Chen Bo Yan. Then, she ran to Chen Boyan and sat down…but her legs couldn't reach the ground, and she kept shaking them.

Chen Boyan glanced at Shangguan Fei 'er and asked: "And then? What do you think of this thing?"

Shangguan Fei 'er rolled her eyes at Chen Boyan, saying: "Of course I'm looking at it with my eyes.”

"I don't know these words," Chen Boyan said weakly.”

Shangguan Fei 'er said in surprise: "That can't be, my handwriting should be easy to recognize right?" Look, this is Brother Jin's name,"Liu Jin". Don't you know him?" As he spoke, he pointed at a line of words on the paper.

"I don't know him." Chen Boyan shook his head.

Shangguan Fei 'er's mind flashed as she asked curiously: "Are you illiterate?"

"…Just tell me once.”

"Heavens!" Shangguan Fei 'er said frantically," Are you Tarzan? If I had known, I wouldn't have written it. I wrote it all night!”

"It's not a big deal if you don't know how to read," Chen Boyan shrugged.”

Shangguan Fei 'er once again displayed her venomous tongue and said: "What do you mean it's not a big deal? If you want to survive in society, you have to learn how to read and write. You have to adapt to society. Don't think that the environment will change because of you. If you can't adapt to society, then just die. Since you can't live anyway, you might as well learn from Lei Feng and do good deeds.”

After a moment of silence, Chen Boyan suddenly asked,"Who is Lei Feng?"

"Uh…I accidentally said something wrong. Don't worry about it.”

"Alright, I'll learn calligraphy when I get back. However, tell me about it first. It's urgent.”

Shangguan Fei 'er sighed, saying: "Alright, listen carefully. Well, first of all, I won't say Brother Jin's name. He's 13 years old this year."

Chen Boyan interrupted,""I remember Third Brother telling me that his virtual age is 15 years old.”

Shangguan Fei 'er replied,"That's right, the virtual age is indeed 15 years old. Because my Brother Jin was born on the last day of the twelfth lunar month, which was the evening of the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, another year passed in a few hours, so he lost two years. Therefore, he grew up three years a year. In another ten or twenty years, he would be able to call his father brother.”

“……”

"Let's continue talking about this. This is my Brother Jin's general name. Ah, it's a nickname. It's just that the general name is given by the Spirit Master Headquarters and is used by the officials.”Shangguan Fei 'er said with a faint smile," Dawn Light Qilin Emperor and Jade Face Qilin Emperor, what do you think?”

"Hmm? What do you mean? What is the origin of this nickname?"

Shangguan Fei 'er said,"He's handsome, and his Light Attribute is very pure. If my Martial Spirit's Light Attribute could reach that level, I'm afraid I'd be a true Light Fire Phoenix."”

Chen Boyan nodded silently.

" Next, I'll tell you about this…" Shangguan Fei 'er's face suddenly turned serious," Brother Jin's Martial Spirit awakened much later than the average person, and it awakened on its own.”

"Late? How late?"

"10 years old."

“!”Chen Boyan's pupils contracted. He suddenly realized that Liu Jin's strength and talent were not as simple as they seemed. No wonder he was called a genius soul master…Hmm?

"Where did he get the title 'Genius Spirit Master'?”

Shangguan Fei 'er stared blankly, before replying,"That's because Brother Jin's reputation is very high."”

"Very high evaluation?"

"The simplest evaluation is 'A one-ringed Soul Master is comparable to a three-ringed Soul Elder.'。”

Chen Boyan was shocked. One ring compared to three rings meant that a rank 20 Soul Master could fight a rank 30 Soul Master with a difference of two soul rings. Even though he could do it himself, with his current strength he could even be compared to ordinary four-ringed Spirit Ancestors, because even though Chen Boyan couldn't absorb spirit bones, it could still improve his constitution. So many years of spirit bone and immortal grade absorption wasn't for nothing, so he was equivalent to having a set of ten thousand year level spirit bones (although without spirit abilities), plus he now had two spirit rings, he absolutely wouldn't be at a disadvantage compared to Spirit Ancestors.

Similarly, although Chen Boyan could be said to be invincible among his peers, it might not be the case if he faced an opponent who could restrain him or in the future. If the opponent possessed a spirit bone or a ten thousand year level spirit ring, this advantage would be negated. In other words, it might become weaker as the game progressed. After all, the difference between having a spirit bone and not having a spirit bone was truly not just a little bit.

"Right, let's return to the previous topic. My third brother's martial soul awakened at the age of 10, so what is his innate soul power?”

"Innate Full Spirit Power." Shangguan Fei 'er said word by word.

" That means that in just three years, Third Brother's spirit power has risen to…" Chen Boyan saw Shangguan Fei 'er approaching him and asked warily," What's wrong?”

"Nothing, continue."

"You want to inquire about my third brother's current spirit power rank, right?”

" Uh….." Shangguan Fei 'er's thoughts were exposed and she couldn't help but stick out her cute little tongue.

"Actually, there's no harm in telling you." Chen Boyan said.

"Hmm?" Shangguan Fei 'er moved her face closer to Chen Boyan, looking like a curious baby.”

Chen Boyan looked at Shangguan Fei 'er's expression and laughed: "Level 38."

“!”Shangguan Fei 'er's eyes grew even bigger, and her body fell down, almost falling into the flowers. Fortunately, Chen Boyan caught her.

"What's wrong? Why are you so surprised?" Chen Boyan said.

" Heavens." Shangguan Fei 'er was clearly still in a state of confusion, one hand holding onto Chen Boyan to prevent him from falling again, the other hand holding onto her fair forehead." Level 38." I'm only level 33! This, this was too terrifying! Although I expected Brother Jin's level to surpass mine, I didn't expect it to surpass me by so much!”

" It's just a difference of four levels," Chen Boyan said lightly." It's not much."”

"Not much!" Shangguan Fei 'er broke down," After rank 30, there will be a detour at every rank. It's not that easy to break through! Some people couldn't even reach level 38 by the time they reached 70! What level are you at now?"

"I was level 27 last time, but I seem to have improved a lot." Chen Boyan replied.”After purifying Liang Zifeng's brand, Chen Boyan realized that his soul power level seemed to have improved quite a bit. This could be considered as a reward for his injuries.

"That's why I said that Brother Jin's cultivation speed is too terrifying…Speaking of which, do you really only have two rings?”

"Yes."

"You're also very terrifying," Shangguan Fei 'er muttered,"You can actually defeat a three-ringed Spirit Master with ease with just two rings.”

Chen Boyan shot Shangguan Fei 'er a noncommittal glance.

Shangguan Fei 'er suddenly said cutely: "Your strange eyes are really beautiful…but your face is really not that good.”

“……”

"Brother Chen, are the patterns on your face painted on or are you born with them?”

" Well..." Chen Boyan thought for a moment," I guess it's a painting."”

"Then why didn't you wipe it off? How terrifying. Won't you scare yourself by looking in the mirror?”

"Uh…it can't be?" Chen Boyan said uncertainly.

"If you have the chance, how about you wipe it off?”Shangguan Fei 'er said.

"It can't be erased. It's already imprinted on my heart.”Chen Boyan said casually," Besides, aren't we talking about your Brother Jin?”

"Oh." Shangguan Fei 'er's expression was clearly a little doubtful,"What else do you want to ask?"”

"What is the relationship between Fang Yu and my third brother?”Chen Boyan turned his head slightly to look at Shangguan Fei 'er." Furthermore, haven't you touched my hand enough?”

Shangguan Fei 'er then remembered that her hand was still on Chen Bo Yan's hand and hurriedly let go, forcing herself to remain calm as she answered Chen Bo Yan's first question. Her face was slightly flushed (Chen Bo Yan was the same, but his face was covered in tattoos):"Fang Yu? She's like me, she grew up with Brother Jin.”

"Her background? How much do you know?" Chen Boyan digressed.

"I'm not too sure, but it seems like his background is very mysterious and powerful. My father never told me.”

Chen Boyan frowned slightly, thinking about something.

"What's wrong? Brother Chen?" Shangguan Fei 'er asked.

"I'm fine. By the way, I realized that your background seems to be very mysterious as well.”

Shangguan Fei 'er shook her head and said,"It's not really a mystery, it's fine to tell you."”

"Then tell me more about the Liu family of the Three Gates." Chen Boyan nodded.”

Shangguan Fei 'er gave a' mhm 'before saying: "My family is the Holy Spirit Sect, one of the eight great sects of the Nine Sects. The Sect Master Shangguan Han is my father. As for the Liu Clan, their real name was the Jade Qilin Sect, the leader of the Eight Great Sects and the Three Great Sects. Now that a rare genius like Brother Jin had appeared, if he were to become a Title Douluo, the Liu family might even become the head of the Eight Great Gates in a single leap, placing themselves above the already ruined Tang Sect.”

"So, you and Brother Jin aren't planning to get married, are you?" Chen Boyan nodded.”

Shangguan Fei 'er stuck out her tongue and said: "If my father wanted me to marry someone for the benefit of the sect, I would definitely run away.”

Chen Boyan said,"This must be some kind of grudge between rich and powerful families."

Shangguan Fei 'er shrugged,"You can say that."”Then, for some reason, he laughed.

"Laugh? What?"

Shangguan Fei 'er's lips curled into a smile,"Let me tell you a secret. Brother Jin was very ugly when he was young?"”

"Ugly?"

"When Brother Jin was young, his face was yellow and thin. He was also as thin as a small wooden stick. His hair was also dry and yellow. When he went out, people would ask where he bought this monkey.”

"This description is too tragic."

"But Brother Jin became more handsome after his martial soul awakened. That strand of golden hair on his head also appeared after his martial soul awakened. Oh right!" Shangguan Fei 'er suddenly seemed to have thought of something." Have you looked closely at Brother Jin's face?”

"Face? No, why?"

"Brother Jin has a long and thin scar on his face, just below his eyes. Although the martial soul had almost disappeared after awakening, one could still see it if one looked closely. However, after coming back this time, he didn't know why he couldn't tell at all.”

Hearing Shangguan Fei 'er's words, Chen Boyan remembered that when he first met Liu Jin, he had indeed seen a shallow scar on his face. If one didn't look carefully, one wouldn't be able to see it.

"Then how did you do it?"

Chen Boyan asked casually, but Shangguan Fei 'er's expression immediately turned furious.

"I can't tell you. You can only find an opportunity to ask yourself. Brother Jin has always been taboo about this.”

"Oh, I know." After reading this article, Chen Boyan asked,""Then…what's the relationship between Leng Moling and my third brother?”

Shangguan Fei 'er thought for a moment, before saying,"She could be considered a childhood playmate, but I'm not too sure about the power behind her." Are you holding a grudge? You're a man."

"Of course I'm not holding a grudge," Chen Boyan laughed."I just think she's amazing."”

"Wondrous?"

"Yeah, don't you feel it?"

"Ah, a little. After all, our martial souls are the rare Fire Phoenix.”

"I think her relationship with you is not ordinary.”

"What do you mean? My father is very disciplined when it comes to women.”Shangguan Fei 'er said unhappily," Although I don't have a mother, my father has never had any concubines. I believe he wouldn't do something like having an illegitimate daughter.”

"I'm not talking about illegitimate daughters." Chen Boyan laughed again.”

"What's that?"

"Maybe you guys have been together for a long time, so you didn't notice. But I noticed it as soon as I came. You and Leng Moling not only look a little alike, but your aura is also a little similar.”

"Do we really look alike?" Shangguan Fei 'er asked in puzzlement.”

"Your appearances are somewhat similar, but your auras can't be faked. Your auras are very similar, far surpassing that of ordinary soul masters with the same martial soul. The compatibility seemed to be a little high.”

"....." Shangguan Fei 'er was silently thinking about something.

"You can try to fuse your martial souls." Speaking of which, I remember you saying that you don't have a mother, right? Perhaps it's not that you don't have a mother, but that your mother and father are separated. According to you, Leng Moling was also your childhood playmate, so it seems that your mother is still alive. I think that maybe your father and mother had two children, and then something happened to them and they separated. In the end, she had to live alone with a child. Did your father ever mention your mother's surname?”

Shangguan Fei 'er's heart was already in a mess after Chen Boyan's analysis, and now hearing his question, she subconsciously replied: "I'm cold." Then, he immediately realized something.

Chen Boyan patted Shangguan Fei 'er's little head and said: "That's right."

Shangguan Fei 'er's heart was in a mess, and she kept thinking about something.

Chen Boyan saw that Shangguan Fei 'er's brows were already tightly knitted together and sighed: "Alright, that's all for today. I'll send you home first…back to the dormitory.”

Shangguan Fei 'er stood up in a daze, muttering: "No need."

"What do you mean no need? Aren't you a girl?" Chen Boyan said. Of course I have to send you off." Look at you, don't let others take advantage of you and create some XX door.

"Alright then." Shangguan Fei 'er tugged at Chen Boyan's sleeve, slowly following behind him, towards the female dormitory…..

"Big brother, where did you go?" Liu Jin looked at Chen Boyan, who was taking off his shoes at the door, and couldn't help but ask," What took you so long?”

"Nothing. It's nothing important.”After taking off his shoes, Chen Boyan hung his clothes on the hanger.

"Okay, big brother, I want to ask you a very serious question.”Liu Jin looked at Chen Boyan seriously.

"Tell me." Chen Boyan wondered if he had been discovered.

"Don't tell me you've fallen in love with Fang Yu?”Liu Jin asked in confusion. After hearing Liu Jin's words, Bai Fu quietly came over and pricked up his ears.

Chen Boyan looked at Liu Jin speechlessly. After a while, he said,"Why would you ask that?"

"Because I feel that your attitude towards Fang Yu is not ordinary." Big brother, I have to tell you first that Fang Yu's family background is very big, so big that even my father doesn't dare to say it out loud.”

"So that's why you're treating me and Fang Yu so strangely." Chen Boyan laughed. Don't worry, she won't. It's just that I'm very familiar with her aura, so she's like this.”

Bai Fu went back to his room after hearing that. Liu Jin also heaved a sigh of relief.

"That's good. Eh? By the way, big brother, why did you feel that Fang Yu was familiar with you?”

" I'm not sure yet," Chen Boyan said." But I seem to have some clues. I'll tell you when I understand."”

Liu Jin shrugged and said,"Alright." I have to go out now."

"Be careful," Chen Boyan warned.”

"Hey, okay." Liu Jin put on his clothes and shoes." Big Brother, look after Second Brother.”

"Hmm?" Chen Boyan wanted to ask why, but Liu Jin had already left." Second Brother, what are you doing?”

"Nothing much."

Chen Boyan raised his eyebrows, thinking that something was wrong. Hence, she walked to the bedroom door and opened it.

"Second brother, are you…playing with ice?”Chen Boyan said in disbelief.

Bai Fu was playing with the ice block in his hand with all his focus. He didn't know what he was going to do.

"Second brother, you can't be so autistic, right?”

"Big brother, I'm practicing my control over ice." Bai Fu's forehead was full of black lines.”

"Huh? Who taught you that?"

"I researched it myself."

Chen Boyan was speechless.”

“……”

……

Liu Jin pushed open the door of Shrek Cafe and looked around.

"Ah, sorry, it's already closed.”A gentle voice sounded, and a slender figure hurried over.

"Why are you still alone?”Liu Jin shook his head helplessly.

"Ah, it's Brother Jin." Ye Ling 'er covered her mouth with her small hand." I didn't expect you to come at this time."”

"Yes, the thing…How is it?”

When Ye Ling 'er heard Liu Jin's question, she hurriedly took out a few sets of school uniforms from the storage soul device on her wrist.

"It's all changed. Here you go."

Liu Jin took the school uniform and placed it into his storage soul device without even looking at it.

"How much should I give you?"

"Ah, there's no need." Ye Ling 'er shook her head like a drum breaking waves." I'm afraid I won't be able to repay the value of the storage soul device you gave me back then, Brother Jin."”

Liu Jin smiled and took out two small bottles and some gold coins from his storage soul tool.

"That also took you some time. In addition to that evil-slaying array, you've already been weak for three days and haven't recovered yet. You have to eat something to nourish your energy.”

Ye Ling 'er looked at the thing she had forced into her hand and smiled gratefully at Liu Jin.

Liu Jin's lips curled up." Eat this qi nourishing pill and qi regulating pill. Then sit down for a while. I'll help you clean up."”Then, without any explanation, he pushed Ye Ling 'er to the seat and began to wash the cups and plates himself.

Ye Ling 'er ate the two pills and sat quietly in her seat. Looking at Liu Jin's handsome appearance, a warmth flowed through her heart.

"Brother Jin."

"Hmm?" Liu Jin subconsciously replied.”

"I feel like you've changed a lot since you came back.”

Liu Jin looked up at Ye Ling 'er with a smile on his face.""Changed a lot? Heh, you're not the first to say that. Did I change for the better or for the worse?”

Ye Ling 'er mumbled," Of course it's for the better. Brother Jin, you know your previous nickname."”

"Which nickname are you referring to?"

"Gloomy, Dark Roots."

" Uh…" Liu Jin lowered his head weakly, almost sinking his head into the water." Can you not say these two nicknames?"”

Ye Ling 'er looked at Liu Jin's funny face and smiled."But this time, I clearly feel that Brother Jin's personality has changed a little. He wasn't as distant as before. His smile had also become richer. It was like the 'professional smile' and bitter smile in the past.”

"Uh…So I was like this in your eyes in the past?" Liu Jin laughed.”

Ye Ling 'er nodded." But it's much better now. Although it's still a little gloomy, it's much better than before." Was it all because of Chen Boyan and Bai Fu?”

Liu Jin was stunned and smiled.”

Both of them fell silent.

After a while, Ye Ling 'er asked softly,""Um, Brother Jin, do you still remember the first time we met?”

"What? Yes…I remember." Liu Jin said in a reminiscing tone," At that time, your personality was a little too docile. Oh, it's the same now, so you were a little meek. You also looked like a cute doll, so many people bullied you. Then, I couldn't stand these people who bullied you, so I taught them a lesson.”

" Not only that," Ye Ling 'er said with a gentle smile." You appeared in front of me like a god and beat away those who bullied me." Afterwards you told me 'you have to learn how to protect yourself,' then taught me fighting skills and methods to raise spirit power, and even gave me good things and helped me pay my school fees.”

Liu Jin smiled awkwardly.”

Ye Ling 'er's eyes suddenly turned red." Other than my parents, Brother Jin, you're the best person to me." I really don't know how to repay you.”

Liu Jin shrugged." What repayment? Aren't we good friends?" Alright, you're done. Let's go.”

Ye Ling 'er nodded, stood up, and went with Liu Jin to do the rest of the trivial things like closing the shop.

……

"Big brother, second brother, I'm back.”Liu Jin opened the door and took off his shoes. He asked casually, but there was no response.

"Big brother?" Liu Jin looked around in confusion." Second Brother?”

"Ah! Third brother, you're finally back!"

Chen Boyan and Bai Fu rushed out of the bedroom door, giving Liu Jin a fright.

"What's wrong?" Liu Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Chen Boyan and Bai Fu, who seemed to be very excited.

Bai Fu raised a ring and asked,"Third brother, is this really used to test spirit power levels?"”

"What? Ah, yes, why?" Liu Jin nodded as he spoke.

"Look!" Bai Fu gripped the ring tightly and poured his soul power into it.

“……29,30。Hmm?" Liu Jin said in surprise," Second Brother, you broke through?”

"It seems so." Bai Fu nodded.”

Chen Boyan snatched the ring and said,"Third brother, look!" Then he similarly poured his spirit power into the ring.

“27,28,29……30?" Oh my god," Liu Jin said in disbelief," Big Brother, you actually broke through three levels in a row!”

Chen Boyan smiled embarrassedly."Well, I didn't expect it either! I didn't bleed for nothing. I didn't expect to break through so much. It seems that my breakthrough this time has a lot to do with the evil-slaying array.”

Little Xiao crawled out from under the sofa and barked twice.

Liu Jin did not know what expression he should have now. The corners of his mouth seemed to be unable to stop curling up."Great, tomorrow I'll take you to get your third spirit ring.”
