The Black Book

Only then did he remember that the little guy had the ability to spy on emotions. Zhu Haomiao grinned helplessly and confessed his desire to learn profound secrets.

Hearing this, the little Loli thought for a moment and hesitated.

"The secrets of the Emperor's Way must not be leaked. It would be a grave crime to punish the nine clans. However, I can ask my mother-in-law. She comes from a famous sect and may have profound secrets that she can pass on to you."

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao nodded casually and took out a handkerchief to help her wipe away the oil stains on her face.

"Thank you, but don't force it."

"Don't force it!"

Finally finding something that could help, Zhao Nuo left in a hurry and disappeared outside the door in the blink of an eye.

On the other side, Zhu Haomiao got up and left the [Royal Martial Arts Academy] and walked straight towards the Yamen of the Anti-Theft Directorate after stuffing the mink licking his paws happily into his skin bag.

He was on sick leave before he fell asleep, but now that he is back, he naturally has to cancel his leave.

Walking leisurely through the market, Zhu Haomiao admired the antique bustling streets while examining the changes in the "Black Book".

【Anger】+327

【Anger】: LV.3→LV.4

【Power】+3

【Qi】+2

[Greed Gold Coin] +33

This is the gift left by the assassin last night. It must be said that the nutritional value of the fifth grade is high!

It's a pity that I couldn't catch them alive, otherwise I could raise a few handfuls a day and squeeze out more oil and water...

Thinking of this, Zhu Haomiao sighed and shook his head, and suddenly his thoughts changed.

No, you can’t be greedy!

I just came back and someone came to my door to shovel, how could I ask for more?

The most important thing in life is to be grateful!

Thank you [Ning Guogong] for the gift!

Putting his hands together, the young man was silently grateful, and suddenly there was a throbbing in his heart.

[Black Book]: Dao Heart +1

Zhu Haomiao: “…………”

Very good, I am indeed a kind person who knows how to repay kindness!

With emotion, Zhu Haomiao came to the general office and found Yin Tianze along the way.

"Good nephew! You are finally back!"

The moment he saw the boy, Yin Tianze's eyes lit up and he gave him a bear hug.

Patting Li Lin's vest hard, Yin Tianze pulled away slightly, looked at the gentle and jade-like young master in front of him, and sighed with relief.

"It seems that you have made great progress during this retreat!"

Although there was no actual fight and it was impossible to confirm the boy's specific growth, Yin Tianze could see some clues just from the subtle changes in his temperament.

The previous Li Lin showed his sharp edge, like an unsheathed sword, with a fierce temperament.

But now, the overflowing sharpness is restrained and restrained, like a piece of soft and beautiful jade, which is quite a return to nature.

The next second, Yin Tianze laughed and shook his head, grinning like a self-mockery.

A fifteen-year-old boy, returning to his original nature?

How is that possible?

On the other side, Zhu Haomiao nodded shyly and humbly.

"Thanks to my uncle, I got a little income."

He is now just one step away from the gold level. Corresponding to the level system of this fantasy realm, that is the fourth level!

In just four months, he grew from a helpless waste to a fourth-level master.

This is the gold content of the extraterrestrial devil!

Such an exaggerated speed would probably seriously impact the three views of the natives, so Zhu Haomiao just responded to Yin Tianze's inquiry vaguely.

Seeing the young man hesitating and thinking that the results of his seclusion were not satisfactory, Yin Tianze patted his shoulder and encouraged him softly.

"Don't be discouraged. Haste makes waste in everything. At your age, you are already very rare with level 6 strength. Many prodigies from famous sects cannot compare to you!"

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao couldn't hold himself any longer and pursed his lips in embarrassment.

"Um...uncle, actually I have made a lot of progress this time..."

"Oh? Have you reached the sixth level?"

Hearing this, Yin Tianze's eyes lit up and he slapped Zhu Haomiao's arm hard.

"Good boy, I really belong to you!"

"Not a sixth-grade high-level one."

"ah?"

Seeing Yin Tianze's confused expression, Zhu Haomiao sighed helplessly.

"Fifth grade."

The two words "soft" were like thunder exploding in Yin Tianze's ears. He stared at the young man blankly. It took him a long time to react, and he reached out his hand doubtfully.

"Give me a hand."

Putting his two wrists together, Yin Tianze slowly increased his strength. His fingers were like eagle claws, trying to suppress Li Lin.

But Zhu Haomiao just came to cover up the water and the earth. His four arms transformed into countless afterimages in the narrow space, causing a clear and crisp sound of rustling in the air.

Even with all his strength, he could not suppress the boy. Yin Tianze broke through the defense and struck out with a palm without reservation.

Bang!

Zhu Haomiao raised his hands, then came first, and his two palms were imprinted together without any fancy, like a muffled thunder exploding in the room.

The irresistible force broke down the resistance, and Yin Tianze staggered three steps back. Looking at the young man standing motionless, his eyes slowly widened.

"The peak of fifth grade?!"

Listening to Yin Tianze's gaffeful roar, Zhu Haomiao just shyly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled without saying a word.

On the other side, Yin Tianze, who had broken the defense, fell into a deep silence. After a long time, he calmed down and looked at the young man with complicated eyes.

"I knew you would surpass me sooner or later, but I never expected that this day would come so... suddenly!"

After letting out a long sigh, Yin Tianze shook his head, quickly collected his emotions, and regained his energy.

"Originally I thought I could still protect you for a while, but now it seems that I am no longer qualified. The next step is up to you."

Patting the boy's shoulder, Yin Tianze looked straight into his eyes, as if he was looking at a piece of art he had cast himself, with thousands of emotions in his pupils.

Relieved, happy, shocked, emotional, sighing...

After a few breaths, Yin Tianze put away his outward emotions, took a deep breath, and said solemnly.

"Lechangfang Anti-theft Division Inspector, Li Lin, listen to your orders!"

"I am here!"

"You have made great contributions to eliminating harm, are honest and love the people, and the people under your rule live and work in peace and contentment. You have made outstanding achievements. You are now promoted to Xuanyi County Lieutenant..."

As he spoke, Yin Tianze took out a document that had been prepared long ago, handed it to Zhu Haomiao, and said in a low voice.

"Shao Jie has been waiting for a long time. You should go and hand over to him."

"Yes, thank you, uncle."

"You're welcome. You deserve it."

Patting the boy on the shoulder, Yin Tianze whispered.

"In addition, several of Shao Jie's old subordinates will also retire. If you have your own team, report it to me and I will go through the procedures."

After carefully instructing him, Yin Tianze waved his hand and let the boy go.

Looking at the tall and handsome back, Yin Tianze sighed slowly and long, and inexplicably felt a little melancholy and powerless.

"The waves behind push the waves ahead..."

On the other side, Zhu Haomiao found his former direct superior Shao Jie and began a long handover process.

But even if the other party cooperated wholeheartedly, it took Zhu Haomiao several days to initially master the nine markets including Lechangfang and sort out the myriad of miscellaneous matters.

Thanks to [book friend 20230110212805397] for the reward.

I have something to do these days, so I can't update more. Sorry~o(╥﹏╥)o~
