Night’s Nomenclature

Nan Gengchen looked at Li Shutong in shock, and then he looked at the night sky where the drones exploded one by one.

This was originally the wilderness men's trump card, but it was turned into a mere dream by Li Shutong with a deck of cards.

Although it's been a while since he came to the Inner World, it was the first time that Nan Gengchen had seen someone of this level taking action.

To be honest, because he had seen much at all, he couldn't even tell what level of a person Li Shutong was.

All in all, his level must not be low!

Thinking of this, he looked at Qing Chen again.

A few days ago, he actually thought that Qing Chen was just a wilderness man living a difficult life in the middle of nowhere, and he even offered Qing Chen to join him.

Now… the reality hit him too much too quickly.

Li Yinuo was looking at this stunning view as well. She picked up her radio and said, "All done, continue to where the Kamidai Family is. Those behind us won't be done with us any time soon, and be careful of any ambush ahead."

On the other side of the radio, Xiao Gong seemed to be speechless for a while, "What… what is happening?"

No one had expected that the daunting crisis would be solved like this.

Li Yinuo replied, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

…

Nan Gengchen has been with Li Yinuo for a while. He knew very well that this arrogant and domineering beautiful lady never used any honorifics even in front of the elders in the family.

She would never use ‘Ning" 1"您"(Ning) is a more respectful way of saying you (Ni/你) to anyone who hasn't gained her full respect.

Looks like his brother Chen's thigh was much thicker than his.

Of course, it didn't take him long to accept the reality. After all, he saw for himself how his classmate won against all the top students he knew of. Even the teacher gave him privileges.

It would be obvious to see a person like Qing Chen be better than him in the Inner World.

Nan Gengchen was envious of Liu Dezhu, because he always thought that it was so unfair for Liu Dezhu to be hit with the jackpot as soon as he transmigrated.

However, he couldn't be jealous of Qing Chen. He was fully convinced that it was skill over luck.

However, until now, Li Yinuo still didn't reveal who Li Shutong was.

Therefore, Nan Gengchen and Qin Yiyi could only tell that Li Shutong was not a trivial character. Even with such abnormal combat power, they still couldn't tell who exactly he was.

At this time, Qin Yiyi suddenly remembered something.

One afternoon she asked Li Shutong: What level are you?

What did he say again?

Level S!!!

At that time, Qin Yiyi thought he was bluffing.

But now, Qin Yiyi suddenly realized that the other party might be telling the truth!

How many Level-S people are there in this world? Just a few!

Qin Yiyi's gaze towards Li Shutong changed, but she was not very happy, because it meant that the distance between Qing Chen and her had suddenly become further.

He was no longer a poor teenage servant but a direct disciple of a big wig.

But she was still a nobody living in the wilderness.

Li Yinuo turned back to look at Qing Chen. The two of them looked at each other quietly.

The teenager was handsome, but she had seen much more good-looking people, so that was nothing special.

Li Yinuo changed her usual carefree personality and looked at Qing Chen calmly, "This is your student, right? You didn't want to accept me as your apprentice, so is this student better than me?"

It was precisely after this that Qin Yiyi and Nan Gengchen understood why she complained about Qing Chen as soon as they got in the car.

She failed to become this middle-aged man's student, yet his actual student just appeared in front of her out of nowhere.

She was unconvinced.

In fact, Li Yinuo recognized Li Shutong when she first saw him.

Even when he pulled out the collar of his jacket to cover his face.

And even when there was dirt on his face.

Then, she realized that Li Shutong was heading toward Forbidden Land 002, so she understood that the person beside him must be the next leader of the Knights.

That was because Li Yinuo knew what was in Forbidden Land 002.

Qingshan Great Cliff

Although Li Yinuo didn't know what the Knights' other eight Life and Death Stages were, she knew the first one for sure.

There…

… was the place where the dreams of the Knights all began over the years.

Thinking of this, she became even more dissatisfied, "What makes him better?!"

Li Shutong thought for a while, "Of course there are reasons. His personality is more suitable for my path."

He has always been stubborn about praising his students in front of others.

Li Yinuo looked at Qing Chen and still felt unsatisfied with the answer, "What part of my personality is inferior to him? I begged you to accept me as your student back then, and you refused, so how did he become your student?"

"Can't tell you right now," said Li Shutong with a smile, "As for which part of him is better than you, you'll find out for yourself."

Qing Chen frowned and started thinking.

He once saw the Li Family's family tree. Back then, he wanted to know if Li Tongyun was in it or not and also if Li Shutong was from the Li Family.

He didn't see Li Shutong's name there.

Of course, the family tree was given to him by Li Shutong, so it was possible that he removed his name from it.

As they were chatting, Li Yinuo didn't try to avoid Li Yinuo's question. For example, he didn't hide the fact that Qing Chen was already his student.

Of everyone here, he knew that Qin Yiyi was a descendant of Li Shutong's old friend. She was not someone untrustworthy, and it was certain at this point that he wanted to arrange a good future for the girl.

Nan Gengchen was Qing Chen's good friend, and he was the main person that Qing Chen wanted to save on Laojun Mountain.

These were all people that they could trust.

Now, Li Shutong was hinting to Qing Chen that Li Yinuo could be trusted as well.

Until this moment, all the clues Li Shutong brought him out were connected:

He had many purposes for this trip.

One was to find and help the Qin family.

The second was to kill Qing Huai. That was to take revenge, relieve some anger, and get rid of a powerful competitor in the Fight for the Shadow.

The third was to get Qing Chen to know Li Yinuo.

Thinking of this, Qing Chen connected Li Yinuo's sudden decision to join the autumn hunting team and speculated that she may have received a notice from Li Shutong before making this change of plans.

Dealing with the Kamidai Family was nothing more than a decoy to make her actions seem more reasonable. Of course, if it ended up working, then it would be the best.

Now, there was the fourth item on the list: Li Shutong needed to bring Qing Chen to Qingshan2Green Mountain and see Qing Chen unlocking his first genetic lock.

Qing Chen sighed. Although his teacher seemed to be on a leisure trip, he was in fact very busy.
