“Totem?” Lin Zhifei’s expression turned serious.

Chu Liuyue handed the pearl over to him.

They saw that the dark, black pearl had an extremely tiny totem that reflected a faint light. However, this totem was very small. If one didn’t take a close look at it, it would really be hard to notice it.

“This is a totem, right?” Chu Liuyue tried to ask.

Previously, she wouldn’t have felt this way. But ever since she entered the God Residence Realm, Dugu Mobao had told her that all these established clans had their own totems.

Before this, she had also seen the Lin family’s totem on the light curtain by the God Residence Realm’s borders. Hence, she had this guess once she saw this pattern—this was an indescribable instinct.

“That’s right. This is indeed some clan’s totem.” Lin Zhifei nodded affirmatively. “But… I temporarily can’t tell who it belongs to.”

The God Residence Realm was gigantic, and there were many clans. It wasn’t very possible to know everyone’s totems.

Even though he was the Lin family’s Fourth Young Master and his status was distinguished in Grotto-Heaven Cliff, it was only limited to this place. If they went out, there were many clans like Grotto-Heaven Cliff or even much stronger and scarier existences.

It was rather difficult to check this totem’s background in such a short amount of time.

“Would Master Lin recognize it if he saw it…” Chu Liuyue thought for a moment. He is knowledgeable and might know a thing or two. 

However, Lin Zhifei suddenly said, “Ms. Dugu, I hope you’ll keep this pearl a secret for now.”

Chu Liuyue glanced at him strangely, but when she saw his genuine and sincere expression, her heart tingled. She didn’t ask any further and nodded. “Okay.”

It seems like… Lin Zhifei doesn’t trust Lin Tianfeng very much… Or perhaps he is certain that someone beside Lin Tianfeng is problematic. Besides, even though this pearl is tiny, it might implicate many people in the Lin family once we start investigating old trifles and debts. It’s normal for Lin Zhifei to be this meticulous. 

“Then… I’ll keep this item first?” asked Chu Liuyue.

Lin Zhifei nodded in agreement. “Thank you, Ms. Dugu.”

Chu Liuyue shook her head. “It’s just a small matter.”

It was very simple to deal with this small thing after experiencing all sorts of struggles with the Heaven-Wrecking Holy Seeds previously.

Lin Zhifei’s lips moved slightly, but he was hesitant. With the totem on the pearl, it might bring about unknown trouble. Normally, people would try their best to avoid this, but I didn’t expect her to be willing to help… 

“Then, we’ll end here today. Fourth Young Master, rest properly. Big Baby and I will take our leave first.” Then, Chu Liuyue bowed and brought Big Baby to leave.

“Hold on.” Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Lin Zhifei suddenly yelled.

Chu Liuyue turned back curiously. “Fourth Young Master, do you have anything else for me?”

Lin Zhifei paused for a moment. “If nothing crops up, that first-grade transportation formation will be fixed tomorrow. Hence, we’ll most likely take off tomorrow.”

“That’s great!” Chu Liuyue was elated. Previously, I was worried that it would continue dragging. Now that we can go over earlier, we should be able to make it. 

Lin Zhifei looked at the woman before him. When she heard this piece of news, her eyes became lively. There seemed to be light darting within her black gem-like eyes, and they looked like stars shining. The curl on her lips is definitely not faked. She should… want to go there earlier very badly? 

Lin Zhifei’s lips also curled up slightly, revealing an extremely faint smile. Originally, I didn’t really care about such things. However, it’s good if I can help her a little. 

“Then, I’ll go back and pack first?” Chu Liuyue smiled and bade farewell.

Lin Zhifei nodded.

Chu Liuyue then left with Big Baby.

When the duo’s figures disappeared from his line of sight, Lin Zhifei slowly sat back down on the chair. He then closed his eyes and sorted out his aura.

After he recovered some of his strength, he stood up and said, “Prepare the water. I’ll bathe and change.”

The bloody smell on his body was causing his temples to hurt faintly.

Upon hearing this, the pageboy waiting outside hurriedly came in. When he saw that Lin Zhifei’s face and body were covered with bloodstains, he was taken aback. “Young Master, you—”

“It’s nothing. Just prepare it.” Lin Zhifei waved his hands.

The pageboy saw that he looked more energetic and less defeated than before, despite his unkempt appearance. The pageboy was also elated as he hurriedly acknowledged the order. “Yes!”

The pageboy was very efficient. In no time, he had prepared everything. “Young Master, go ahead!”

Lin Zhifei walked into the house.

The pageboy followed beside him, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Young Master, is your health… getting better?”

Lin Zhifei paused for a moment. “It is slightly better than before.”

The pageboy gasped in shock. “That’s great! I didn’t expect this Ms. Dugu to be this amazing!”

Even though her current cultivation level can’t be compared to the few ninth-grade heavenly doctors in the Lin family, she is still capable if she can treat Young Master! 

“I didn’t expect someone from outside the God Residence Realm to be this outstanding!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhifei smiled faintly. “Actually, there’s not much difference between outside and within the God Residence Realm. It’s still up to the individual’s ability.”

Even if she is unknown now, she will definitely make a name for herself when the time comes! 

“Young Master, you’re right!”

As the pageboy served him, he couldn’t help but ask, “Actually, there’s something I didn’t expect. Young Master, this Ms. Dugu is already so outstanding, so why does she still want to find that heartbreaker? Won’t she just make herself suffer for nothing?”

Recalling her bright smile, Lin Zhifei was deep in thought.. “Probably because… the couple spent a night together, which leads to a lifetime of devotion.”
