A Top Scholar in Everything

Jian Linyue's words caused Baiyu and Qiong Jiu to be slightly taken aback.

Simulation Realm?

A Simulation Realm encompassing the entire Maple Leaf County, what kind of concept is this?

The scope is absurdly large.

"I know you might find it ridiculous, but when I first received this information, I couldn't believe what was described either.

However.

After repeated verification.

The news from the front line was not wrong.

It's indeed very much like a Simulation Realm.

This afternoon, we will receive real-time footage, and you can all take a look then.

The current directive from above.

Is to gather all information related to the drastic changes in Maple Leaf County.

You both escaped from Zenith City in Maple Leaf County, which is the starting point of the demon attack, so I thought to ask you first."

Hearing Jian Linyue's words,

Qiong Jiu was silent for a moment, then recounted the experiences of the Qiong Family in Zenith City.

Truthfully, there wasn't much to say, merely struggling against the apparition of the Flame Giant.

Qiong Jiu didn't even see the true form of the Flame Giant.

Even just an apparition forced her to play all her cards.

If it weren't for Baiyu's critical strike at a key moment, she would have had to deplete the potential of the Frozen Valkyrie to fight, or awaken Qiong Meng.

"I see, I understand now.

I didn't expect Mr. Bai to control a Legendary Ship at such a young age.

I've never seen someone with such a talent before."

Jian Linyue looked at Baiyu with surprise, a hint of undisguisable shock in her eyes.

"It was just the urgency of the situation that pushed me to the limit."

Baiyu answered.

Jian Linyue nodded, knowing he spoke the truth.

At this stage, for a Tier Seven Martial Artist to pilot a Legendary Ship to attack, the cost is unimaginable.

Fighting desperately.

Is no exaggeration.

"In that case, Mr. Bai, I sincerely invite you to attend our upcoming meeting."

Jian Linyue stood up, extended her right hand, bent down, and respectfully invited Baiyu.

This act.

Left Baiyu somewhat puzzled.

But he still said, "Since Miss Jian has invited me, I will come then."

Having just arrived.

Getting to know people in Wind Dove City isn't a bad idea.

At least for a considerable period, he would remain in Haiqing County; even if the war in Zenith City was won, he wouldn't be able to return immediately.

Reconstruction.

Recovery.

All these require time.

Time is the only thing that can heal the wounds caused by war.

"That's wonderful, I'll see you out now.

The Qiong Family's shops and residences are in the Lower City District, which isn't convenient for living. I'll have them arrange for you a property in the Upper City District for you to settle in."

Jian Linyue opened the office door, speaking as she walked.

Qiong Jiu looked at the other party strangely, her gaze falling again on her student.

The change in Jian Linyue's attitude was because she learned that Baiyu could control a Legendary Ship.

Although Baiyu's ability to pilot a Legendary Ship at this stage was indeed extraordinary.

However.

As the highest leader of the Anomaly Bureau in one of the most prominent cities in the southern main counties, it shouldn't be necessary to lower herself so much.

Which means.

There must be other reasons.

Seeing Qiong Jiu's melancholic gaze, Baiyu was also baffled, not knowing why she suddenly became so enthusiastic.

But in any case.

Moving from the Lower City District to the Upper City District is always a good thing.

The Upper City District is an upscale living area, with an environment, security, and standard of living that the Lower City District cannot compare to.

More importantly.

It's a symbol of status.

The Qiong Family is not short of money.

But their roots are in Zenith City.

The saying goes, 'A strong dragon does not suppress a local snake.'

Coming to Haiqing County, they have to do things according to the local rules. To develop a new network, money alone is far from enough.

Luckily.

Jian Linyue provided them with such an opportunity.

All of this.

Was due to Baiyu.

...

After leaving the Anomaly Bureau,

The Qiong Family already hired a steam carriage team to begin transporting various large and small items. Jian Linyue personally arranged a giant garden villa in the Upper City District for the Qiong Family.

The price wasn't high.

Only ten billion.

For ordinary people, this is money they couldn't earn in ten lifetimes, but for the Qiong Family, established in Zenith City for many years, it's just ten small goals.

Their deposits and real estate in major savings banks far exceed this amount.

Therefore.

Qiong Jiu promptly paid the money, completed the handover ceremony on the spot, and had the Qiong Family members move in.

Soon.

The Qiong Family realized they had made a good purchase.

This garden was worth far more than ten billion.

Although it couldn't compare to their old home in Zenith City, its size was still terrifyingly large, with pavilions, towers, ponds, and gardens, all aligning with their architectural preferences.

In such a place.

Having money alone isn't enough; one must have status.

"Qiong Yue's eye is indeed discerning. Without Baiyu, our Qiong Family would have been in a difficult position."

"Hmph, some doubted Qiong Yue's judgment back then, and now they're probably feeling quite awkward."

"I was just being anxious at that time... From now on, if anyone dares to disparage Baiyu in front of me, I'll absolutely not let it go!"

In the new garden,

The Qiong Family's servants were tidying the layout of the entire garden, while a group of clan elders gathered in the cleaned hall to discuss the future direction of the Qiong Family.

Of course.

The topic most discussed was still Baiyu.

"Baiyu saved us, fulfilling his promise to Qiong Yue to look after the Qiong Family in times of crisis..." After the initial excitement passed, a clan elder said worriedly.

The other clan elders also nodded in deep agreement.

They were still outsiders here, with no foundation.

The change in Jian Linyue's attitude was largely due to Baiyu. And besides his capability with a Legendary Ship, Baiyu also had connections with the Third Prince of the royal family.

Initially, they thought Baiyu and the Third Prince merely had some acquaintance.

But now.

It was evident.

That there was a deeper relationship between him and the Third Prince. However, this kind of connection was beyond their level of understanding.

Baiyu had brought the Qiong Family safely from Zenith City to Wind Dove City and paved the way for the Qiong Family's future development.

Without Baiyu, the fall of the Qiong Family in Zenith City wasn't impossible.

This immense gratitude amounts to reconstruction.

Qiong Yue's request for Baiyu to take care of the Qiong Family has been abundantly fulfilled.

"How about we grant Baiyu an honorary position as Patriarch?"

A clan elder cautiously suggested.

Several clan elders' expressions changed slightly.

"Baiyu is not one of our Qiong Family; granting the honorary title of Patriarch... Although we may agree, what will others think?"

"Yes, we need to consider the external perceptions."

"How about appointing Baiyu as our Grand Elder, what do you think?"

"Both Qiong Xue and Qiong Yu are of marriageable age, and they are well-mannered, with considerable talent. If we truly wish to deepen ties between Baiyu and the Qiong Family, we can approach it from this angle."

A group of clan elders was discussing strategies at this moment.
