"The reason why I asked Xu Ren to come to me and gave him [Bai Chi Gan Tou] as a reward, the real purpose is..."
"It's not about 'not bowing to Zhi Ge', but taking this opportunity to get along well with the person in front of me..."
Xue Jing looked at the strange smile on Wu Youqing's lips and sighed inwardly.
"There are too many twists and turns in the communication between these big shots..."

Chapter 98: Leaping over the Dragon Gate, Burying the Old Body, Limits between Heaven and Man, Turning with the Heart, Black Sky Blade Swirling with Wind and Thunder (4K)
Xue Jing raised Wu Youqing's status by two levels in his mind, then pinched his chin and said:
"So, the reason why Bai Ya offered such a reward was because of your kindness, Boss."
Wu Youqing smiled and said, "You don't have to mind... Baichigantou doesn't mean much to me. I don't need it, so you can use it without worry... if you accept this commission."
"White Crow probably wants to build a good relationship with you, right? Although there are many complicated things that I don't know, if I accept the commission and get paid, they will think that you accept their kindness. Wouldn't that make things difficult for you?"
Xue Jing asked.
Hearing this, a hint of cunning flashed in Wu Youqing's beautiful amethyst eyes.
"I didn't say I wanted to have anything to do with them... They misunderstood the relationship between you and me. Therefore, Baichigantou is a reward for you and has nothing to do with me."
Xue Jing exclaimed: "Can it be like this?"
This statement is a bit willful... It can be said that it breaks the other party's tacit unspoken rules.
Although the facts are indeed as Wu Youqing said, in the adult world, it is a big taboo to take something and then refuse to acknowledge it, no matter the reason.
However… considering the intelligence of this wealthy and domineering boss, she is naturally qualified to act willfully, so he doesn’t need to worry about anything.
Xue Jing thought about it and did not continue the topic. Instead, he asked, "Xu Ren said that this new junction is a C-level one and will not be too dangerous. Do you think it is credible, Boss?"
Wu Youqing stood up, took the book in her hand and walked towards the bookshelf area, saying casually as she walked:
"Since it's the kind of junction that you can exit at any time, it's reasonable to assume it's a Class C junction."
She stood on tiptoe and stuffed the book onto the shelf.
"However, the highest weight in the classification system for border areas is 'the degree of confusion of rules', which is related to dangerousness, but not completely related."
"Most C-level intersections are indeed not very dangerous, but there are also C-level intersections that have many highly dangerous creatures living in them."
"If you plan to accept this commission, you still have to be mentally prepared."
After listening to this, Xue Jing felt more relieved and nodded.
He stood up and walked to Wu Youqing's side. He watched her run her fingers across the books on the bookshelf and said with a smile:
"Then I'll take this commission... I'm also very curious about the border area."
Wu Youqing paused slightly and looked back at him.
"In that case... I'll give you something."
Xue Jing: “Hmm?”
After the girl finished speaking, she walked back to the rest area and took out a pair of frameless glasses that Xue Jing felt very familiar with from a small bag on a wooden chair.
GOD-1280·Ordinary glasses.
"Hey, isn't this something that you and the other containment companies borrowed, Boss? And you didn't return it?"
Xue Jing was surprised.
"No, I bought it." Wu Youqing took the glasses, walked to Xue Jing and handed them to him.
Xue Jing raised his eyebrows and said:
"How can this be so embarrassing."
He reached out and took it without hesitation.
This pair of glasses is a good thing, it can suppress the wearer's presence... When Wu Youqing was wearing them before, Xue Jing came to the library to find her with a strong purpose, but he ignored her at the first moment.
Wearing it is equivalent to giving yourself a 'stealth' BUFF, which will undoubtedly greatly improve your safety in dangerous places like the border.
The side effect is that after taking it off, the sense of presence will explode... It can also be used to increase the efficiency of plucking the cat's divinity.
"GOD-1280 has been contained for a long time, and we don't know when it will trigger the 'transfer', so it's not expensive..."
Wu Youqing said casually.
"Well, I won't ask you what you think 'not expensive' is." Xue Jing put the glasses into his pocket and said seriously:
"Thank you, Boss."
There is no free lunch in the world. Xue Jing is of course aware that Wu Youqing has always been so nice to him for a purpose.
But the benefits he got from this rich woman were tangible. Even without mentioning the divine relics, the intelligence information he got from her alone was priceless and helped him countlessly.
This is a real favor, and he will have to repay it sooner or later.
A smile appeared on Wu Youqing's pretty face, and she said:
"Speaking of which, since you are planning to accept the commission, have you thought about where you want to use your talents?"
Xue Jing thought for a moment and said, "I haven't decided yet. Sister, do you have any suggestions?"
"Since you want to follow the path of the old martial arts, generally speaking, the best choice is naturally a talent related to the physical body."
Wu Youqing said softly.
"But... I do have a different suggestion for you."
Xue Jing's eyes moved: "Tell me in detail."
Wu Youqing reached out and took out a book with "The Melting Pot" on the cover from the bookshelf, then returned to the wooden chair in the rest area and sat down. Her long legs in tight jeans were crossed together, and she sat like a queen.
"There is a twelve-word formula circulating in the martial arts world."
She opened her red lips and spoke.
"Leap over the Dragon Gate and bury the old body."
"The limits of heaven and man are determined by the mind."
"You should be very familiar with the Leaping Dragon Gate. It means breaking through the limits of the human body, reshaping one's own genes, and burying the old body."
The girl tapped her fingers lightly on the wooden table.
“And the limit between heaven and man refers to the boundary between the human spirit and reality.”
She looked at Xue Jing who was listening attentively.
"Your master should have told you that the key to leaping over the dragon gate and breaking through the limits of the physical body lies in the 'spirit', right?"
"Yes." Xue Jing nodded.
Wu Youqing hummed and continued, "Using the power of the spirit to forcibly influence the body and reshape the genes, this action itself breaks the boundary between heaven and man, that is - using the spirit to interfere with reality."
Xue Jing frowned and said, "The mind can interfere with reality? I thought the kind of mental strength needed to leap the dragon gate was just another way of saying willpower, which is barely within the scope of science... If it means using the mind to interfere with reality, then it is completely unscientific."
Wu Youqing shook her head and said, "There is no such thing as science or unscientific. Science is a method of summarizing the laws of things... Theoretically speaking, existence is reasonable, and reasonableness is science. The ability of the spirit to interfere with reality is also part of science."
"This power of the mind interfering with reality may sound incredible, but in fact its effect is limited and can only be used in some aspects related to oneself..."
"Some powerful martial artists can use some incredible moves, such as delivering a heavy punch that is theoretically impossible to deliver with their physical fitness, penetrating strong alloy armor, and smashing a tank..."
"This is actually because his spiritual power is too strong, and his spirit interferes with his own reality."
Hearing Wu Youqing's words, Xue Jing's heart moved.
He thought of his own 'Heavenly Sword·Wind and Thunder'... The sword energy that was swung out and swept far away was completely unreasonable if it was explained by pure physics.
Could it be that he used the spiritual realm of the God's Will Sword to interfere with his own reality
"In short, spiritual strength is more important to martial artists than you think."
Wu Youqing spoke softly.
"To break through the limits of the body is called 'leaping over the dragon gate', and to break through the limits of the spirit is called 'transforming into heaven'."
"Only the powerful spiritual power that can reverse the limits of heaven and man and rewrite one's own reality is the absolute foundation for reaching the pinnacle of martial arts."
"Therefore, I suggest you use your talents related to spirituality."
Xue Jing nodded solemnly.
"I see."
After saying this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Good sister, I feel like you are an all-purpose encyclopedia, as if you know everything..."
As for this theory about the spirit interfering with one's own reality, I'm afraid even Master Li Qi only has a vague understanding of it. This should be a cutting-edge theory that is only circulated in a small circle of people.
How come this person knows everything
Thinking back to the time I met her until now, from the first time I asked her about the divine relics, it seemed like there was no question she couldn't answer.
"I don't know everything, I just happen to know what you want to know." Wu Youqing answered casually.
…
Coming out of the library, Xue Jing digested what he had just gained from his conversation with Wu Youqing.
"Use your spirit to change the limits of heaven and man, and rewrite your own reality..."
"This martial arts training is becoming more and more mysterious... but it also has a subtle and scientific feel."
Xue Jing shook his head, took out his cell phone and called Xu Ren.
He had just dialed the number and before even a beep, the other party picked up immediately.
"Hey, have you thought about it?"
Xu Ren's direct question came from the receiver.
Xue Jing put the phone to his ear, hummed, and said, "I've made up my mind. I accept this commission."
"... That's good." Xu Ren's voice seemed to be relieved.
"I'll have the [Bai Chi Gan Tou] sent over right now. It should arrive tomorrow."
Xue Jing nodded: "Okay... By the way, I have another request."
Void Blade: "You say."
Xue Jing thought for a moment and said, "I have to sign a contract with you."
"If I die in this border area, you must find my body within seven days and send it back to Sunny City."
Xu Ren was a little confused: "Why?"
Xue Jing said unhappily: "You don't understand the seventh day."
Xu Ren groaned, "Alright, although I don't quite understand, I'll tell the higher-ups."
After hanging up the phone, Xue Jing pinched his chin, opened the panel and took a look at the passive effects of the twins.
[Having two lives, after death, you can freely choose the time of resurrection within seven days, cooling time: 70 days]
This was his last line of defense. If he really died in the border area, as long as Bai Ya brought his body back within seven days, he could naturally be resurrected in the outside world without having to worry about his body being guarded.
As for what to do if the fact of his resurrection is exposed... Things have come to that point, it's exposed, what else can he do.
This world is very strange, there are as many reasons as you want... things like divine relics and recipients of gifts can always fool people.
"In order to prevent Bai Ya from signing the contract but not fulfilling it, we have to borrow the power of the boss..."
While thinking about things, Xue Jing took out GOD-1280 from his pocket and put it on. He instantly turned into an inconspicuous passerby like a stone. Then he walked out of the school gate and hailed a taxi.
First he went home to get the Futu Knife, and then took a car to Takeyama Yingjia's manor.
After entering the manor house, a maid who was cleaning the floor in a classical maid dress was stunned for a moment when she saw Xue Jing wearing glasses, and then she said hesitantly:
"Master Xue?"
Xue Jing nodded at her, pushed his glasses with his fingers, and said with a smile:
"Is Senior Sister Zhu here?"
The maid bowed slightly to Xue Jing and said respectfully:
"The young lady went out this morning... She told me that if she sees Master Xue, she should let you know. Please do as you please."
