It had been six years since he first met Ye Qingxian.
Time flies, and time is like a knife.
Yet it seemed to have left no trace on the face of this mature beauty, only the fragrance of time's flowers after precipitation, making her even more intoxicating.
Ye Qingxian looked at Lin Xiao with burning eyes.
Lin Xiao was a little overwhelmed.
"Aunt Ye, why are you looking at me like that?"
Ye Qingxian didn't ask Lin Xiao where he learned all this knowledge. Whether he had obtained some kind of inheritance or awakened some kind of memory, it didn't matter.
What mattered was that Lin Xiao didn't hide anything.
Even if telling this knowledge would bring Lin Xiao no benefit, he still said it without hesitation.
This was the most valuable thing.
Of course, Ye Qingxian was slightly proud in her heart.
Why didn't Lin Xiao tell these secrets to Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan? Why didn't Lin Xiao tell Shui Binger? He probably didn't even tell Dugu Bo, but only told her alone.
In the end, he still trusted her the most, right? This was the charm of a mature woman, as reliable as an eagle! Ye Qingxian looked away, and Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Being stared at by Ye Qingxian all the time just now gave him a sense of tension and oppression for some reason.
Aunt Ye's aura was still too strong.
Ye Qingxian sighed, "Most people, after becoming Soul Masters, even if their parents' generation were ordinary people, still draw a line between themselves and the common people in their hearts. People like you, who don't seek any benefits after becoming a Soul Master and are willing to help the common people, are even rarer."
Although increasing food production would benefit all mankind.
But as a Soul Master, one would never be unable to afford food at any time; just like in times of famine, it would always be the farmers who starved to death.
Lin Xiao shook his head and said, "I don't deserve the praise. I'm just running my mouth. It's Aunt Ye who's worrying about this matter. Besides, I actually have some selfish motives in my heart."
Ye Qingxian: ??? She looked at Lin Xiao with some curiosity.
"What selfish motives?"
After all, no matter how she looked at it, Lin Xiao shouldn't be able to get any benefits, right? Could it be for fame? "Oh, if you want to become famous, that's easy. Anyway, becoming famous because of food won't bring you any trouble..."
Lin Xiao looked shocked and quickly said:
"No, no, no!"
"That's right, Aunt Ye, this matter must be handled by you personally. The good reputation and the gratitude of the common people must also be borne by you."
Ye Qingxian was a little dazed.
"Why? I didn't actually do much. Since you don't want to be famous, then push it to Ning Fengzhi. He should be quite willing..."
Lin Xiao was a little helpless.
No, was Ye Qingxian indifferent to fame and fortune? He was just afraid that Ning Fengzhi wouldn't be able to handle such great merit and faith! After thinking it over, Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and simply told Ye Qingxian the truth.
"Aunt Ye, do you know about God-level Experts?"
Ye Qingxian's expression changed slightly.
She said in a deep voice, "I know a little."
"The Angel God worshiped by the Spirit Hall is a God-level Expert."
"According to rumors, one can become a God after breaking through level 100."
After thinking it over, Lin Xiao simply laid his cards on the table:
"Aunt Ye, I think becoming a God may be related to faith. For example, after the Angel God became a God, isn't he still worshiped by the Spirit Hall?"
"And the Spirit Hall's power extends throughout the continent. I've found that many ordinary people believe in the Angel God and will pray during special festivals."
This wasn't something Lin Xiao made up.
When he lived with the villagers in Soto City before, he found that many villagers believed in the Angel God, and this was inseparable from the Spirit Hall's propaganda.
And the sea was also outrageous.
The myriad races of the ocean actually all believed in the Sea God... Although there were also those who disrespected the Sea God and resisted the Sea God, the Sea God did indeed deeply influence the myriad races of the ocean.
Ye Qingxian nodded, "That's a possibility."
Lin Xiao added, "Aunt Ye, regardless of whether faith and becoming a god are truly related, we should adopt the attitude of 'better safe than sorry.' What if it actually becomes useful in the future?"
"Name and authority are not to be lent to others!"
If this title is meant to be mine, then it shall be mine! I will accept it without hesitation!
Ye Qingxian understood, more or less.
Lin Xiao had said so much, but in the end, wasn't it all for her own good? Regardless of whether it would truly be beneficial, she should accept this kindness.
Ye Qingxian's beautiful eyes fell on Lin Xiao, and she felt that this boy had indeed grown up. Not only had his face become much more handsome, but his figure had also become increasingly tall and straight.
Just now, when he was speaking, the young man's slender eyebrows arched, carrying a hint of sharpness, which made her involuntarily feel a sense of obedience...
"Hey, you're so good to Aunt Ye, Aunt Ye will have to 'hammer' you."
Lin Xiao: (ΩДΩ) Huh? I'm too good to you, so you'll 'hammer' me?
What the heck was that, the Northwest Hammer King's quote! Seeing Lin Xiao's bewildered expression, as if he didn't know what he had done wrong, Ye Qingxian rolled her eyes and gently tapped his shoulder.
"You know so much, but have I ever asked you anything?"
"I don't care what kind of inheritance you've received or what kind of fortuitous encounter you've had. In short, I acknowledge you as a person, so there's no need to dig to the bottom of things. That's also why you're willing to tell me so many things."
"But Lin Xiao, from now on, you're not allowed to hide anything you do for my benefit. Am I the elder, or are you? A junior should act like a junior! Do you hear me?"
If Ye Qingxian hadn't said she was going to give the title to Ning Fengzhi,
Lin Xiao probably wouldn't have revealed everything.
Thinking of this, Ye Qingxian felt a little annoyed.
Lin Xiao smiled sheepishly.
"Faith might be useful, but we haven't reached that level yet. Who knows what will happen in the future? That's why I didn't say anything."
"But I'll definitely tell you everything from now on, Aunt Ye!"
Ye Qingxian nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly remembered the other matter she had called him in for, and couldn't help but gently bite her lip and call out,
"Lin Xiao."
"Hmm?"
"Ah, never mind."
Ye Qingxian hesitated for a long time, but ultimately gave up.
She actually wanted to ask Lin Xiao what kind of women he liked, whether he preferred the youthful and energetic type, or the mature and charming type.
Ye Qingxian was afraid that this child would go astray. Why else would he spend less time with Yan Yan and Ling Ling, and more time with her?
If he went astray, she had to correct him in time! But then she thought better of it. This child was just studious. Could she not tell whether there was any lust in his pure, husky-like eyes when he looked at her? Most importantly, she really couldn't bring herself to ask.
Amidst Lin Xiao's confusion, Ye Qingxian pushed him out.
"After I've finished researching the optimized strains of high-yield Hybrid Rice, Wheat, and Potato, I'll naturally notify you."
Lin Xiao was also used to Ye Qingxian's busyness.
He just earnestly instructed, "Aunt Ye, don't neglect your cultivation either..."
"Go, go, go!"
Ye Qingxian pushed Lin Xiao out.
Then she closed the door.
Ye Qingxian sighed, "His wings have really hardened, and he's even starting to worry about my affairs?"
She naturally didn't need anyone to worry about her. Cultivating herbs and plants was just Ye Qingxian's hobby. Of course, she knew that cultivation was also a top priority, so she would meditate every night instead of sleeping, and she would also use meditation as a way to rest during the day.
Besides, cultivating herbs and such...
Wasn't that also Ye Qingxian's path of development? She rubbed her temples and continued to work on her research.
