Chapter 0071: The Mysterious Jade Pendant

Recommendations wanted! Collections wanted! All kinds of support wanted!

...

After dinner, Lin Yi went to clear the table. In the past, these Lock & Lock containers used for serving food were taken away by Uncle Fu early the next morning, and at the hotel, there were dedicated staff to wash them. However, after Lin Yi came, he felt that the greasy containers were not good, so he cleaned them up.

"Arrow Brother, you're quite a good man for the home. Whoever marries you will be very lucky! I'm going upstairs now!" Chen Yushu encouraged Lin Yi and then went upstairs.

Marry me? Lin Yi felt a chill, his first thought was that this girl had a preference for male dominance. However, Lin Yi was already used to Chen Yushu's quirky nature and didn't say anything.

After cleaning the containers and putting them in a plastic bag, Lin Yi turned off the dining room light and walked to his room.

The second five-year period was almost over, which made Lin Yi somewhat anxious. Although after cultivating the first level of the Xuanyuan Dragon Control Technique, his constitution had greatly improved, and the meridians in his body were more robust than before, his agility and dexterity were also much better than those of ordinary people.

If viewed by ordinary people, he would be considered a top expert. However, this only made Lin Yi more eager. The first level was already so powerful, so what about the second level... the third level, how powerful would they be?

Moreover, behind the stone door in the cave hall, besides the subsequent secret techniques of the Xuanyuan Dragon Control Technique, would there be anything else?

Lin Yi touched the jade pendant around his neck. This single jade pendant had already brought him countless benefits. If there were other good things behind the stone door... just thinking about it was exciting!

Many times, this jade pendant alone had saved his and his comrades' lives! Lin Yi still hadn't fully grasped or understood all the functions of the jade pendant.

However, the abilities of the jade pendant were quite mysterious, as if it could understand his thoughts. Within a certain range, if someone intended to harm him, the jade pendant would send a signal to warn him in advance.

It was precisely because of the jade pendant's early warning that Lin Yi and his comrades could repeatedly turn danger into safety in the rain of bullets in the primeval forest. This was the early warning function of the jade pendant.

Another function was that if someone who had once intended to harm him was within a certain range, even if they concealed their murderous intent and did not show any hostility towards Lin Yi, he could still gradually lock onto their presence through the signal from the jade pendant. The closer he got to this person, the stronger the signal from the jade pendant became!

In the final showdown between experts, it often turned into an ambush or assassination. If the first strike failed, they would quickly retreat and would not engage in prolonged combat. Those who had once fought with Lin Yi, even if they escaped under cover, were eventually mysteriously found and eliminated by Lin Yi.

Therefore, Lin Yi was called "Eagle" by his teammates. Any prey that the eagle set its sights on rarely escaped.

Of course, the extended functions of the jade pendant were many. It could warn of bad things and good things, but the signals it emitted were slightly different. Lin Yi didn't know how the jade pendant influenced him to receive its warnings. At least, the people around him were not affected.

However, the signals that Lin Yi had figured out so far were these three. In other situations, the jade pendant sometimes emitted other signals, but Lin Yi didn't know what they meant or what conditions triggered the jade pendant's reactions.

Chen Yushu went upstairs, pushed open the door to Chu Mengyao's room, and found Chu Mengyao sitting on the bed with her knees drawn up, eating chips. She had an English study guide on her lap and was marking up today's exam paper.

"Too many snacks can affect your growth." Chen Yushu smiled at Chu Mengyao, thinking of Lin Yi, her smile grew wider.

"What are you laughing at?" Chu Mengyao felt a bit puzzled by Chen Yushu's laughter, feeling uncomfortable all over. She looked herself over but didn't find anything wrong. Was it just because she was eating a bag of chips? Could it be that Chen Yushu was mocking her for not having as big a chest as her?

"Big Sister Yao, I have something fun to tell you! I avenged you!" Chen Yushu sat on the bed with a mischievous look, snatching the chips from Chu Mengyao's hand.

"Didn't you say eating snacks affects growth?" Chu Mengyao glared at her: "What revenge? So mysterious?"

"Hehe, I'm already well-developed for my height!" Chen Yushu carelessly took a chip and put it in her mouth: "Just now, after you left, I called Arrow Brother to come eat! Then, I made him sit in your seat, told him I had already served his food, and he just started eating..."

"So what... Ah? You mean he ate the leftovers from your bowl?" Chu Mengyao's eyes widened.

"He even used your chopsticks!" Chen Yushu said proudly: "How about that? Now he's eaten your saliva, and I've avenged you!"

"What nonsense!" Chu Mengyao shook her head: "Isn't he the one who benefited?"

"Well..." Chen Yushu thought, if you eat someone's saliva, you lose, but if they eat yours, you gain. But thinking about it, it was indeed true. If this happened to other boys in school, they might even be secretly happy!

"Alright, let's not talk about him anymore." Chu Mengyao felt a bit annoyed and didn't want to mention Lin Yi: "Aren't you going to review the questions you got wrong on today's English test?"

"Sure, I'll do it now." Chen Yushu stopped joking and immediately took out her schoolbag, test paper, and started reviewing with Chu Mengyao.

Although both Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu were intelligent, intelligence alone wouldn't help if they didn't work hard. Despite their good family backgrounds, both of them still worked hard, especially Chu Mengyao, who didn't want to be seen as getting into a top high school's top class just because of her family.

After reviewing the English test, the two of them studied other subjects for a while. They were already in their senior year of high school and were about to take the college entrance exam. For both Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu, getting into a top university directly because of their family backgrounds wasn't difficult, but it felt different to get in on their own.

Seeing that it was already late, Chu Mengyao yawned, and Chen Yushu was also feeling sleepy. The two of them took a hot shower in the bedroom's bathroom, got into bed, and watched an episode of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" on their MP4 before falling asleep.

Lin Yi, however, spent another night cultivating the Xuanyuan Dragon Control Technique. The physical energy he gained from a night of cultivation was equivalent to several hours of deep sleep.

When Lin Yi opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air, it was already past five in the morning. He went to the bathroom, washed up, and decided not to watch TV in the morning.

When he had time, he would buy a laptop and stay in his room, watching whatever he wanted.
