Except for Mordo, only Fiersson realized it. There were still so aspects he couldn’t figure out, and everyone just felt that Mordo was being contemplative. Perhaps the dean had so insight he didn’t want to be disturbed.
Fiersson let the others leave and then looked at his old friend, "Stop with the suspense; the scene is set. What exactly have you discovered?"
"Mr. Li is in Dragon Capital," Mordo smiled. "This Lin reporter is more than likely related to Mr. Li."
"Are you saying there truly is Heart Learning, and Unity of Knowledge and Action is just a part of it???" Fiersson’s eyes were alight with excitent. He felt the sa as Mordo. The two of them were the most promising among the Three-star Grandmasters to advance to four stars. Achieving four stars would be akin to a Great Angel, incomparable to their current status.
Being dispatched to Dragon Capital, far from the core of the school, is justified and possible, but there’s still a feeling involved.
Mordo nodded, feeling a turbulent surge within. If they acquired the complete Heart Learning, the Celestial Principle School would soar, marking an important step in their journey to four stars, destined to beco a great eternal faith on par with the other seven deity sects.
"What are we waiting for? Let’s go together!" Fiersson said urgently.
"Go where?"
"Invite Mr. Li to co forward!"
Mordo shook his head, "No, no, knowledge must not be casually spread. The truth is not to be sought in that way. Since Lin the reporter has approached us, it shows that we have this fate. There is a destined course in the unseen. We must not be hasty or forceful."
"I might not be able to sleep tonight," Fiersson smiled wryly.
"Heart Learning, the concept of ’Heart’ alone is enough to stir one’s emotions. What a clear and concise definition," Mordo remarked, "I’ve already felt a subtle change in power."
"No wonder they made you dean; your steadiness surpasses mine," Fiersson sighed.
"Send a telegram to Hedan," Mordo said. The greater the path, the more it requires gradual growth. There are certainly other trials ahead, but in facing the truth, Mordo was filled with boundless energy and passion.

Li Xin had a whole day at work. When there’s nothing to do, it’s mind-numbingly boring, but when there’s work to do, it’s overwhelming. He sipped coffee while looking at docunts; Jiang Silver Owl and Tang Silver Owl didn’t even clock in, and everyone else was busy. Once again, it was just him and ng Po all day. No wonder ng Po was knitting, making him want to type.
Pah, how can one be off-task at work?
When Li Xin returned ho after work in the evening, Lin Fei had already returned, and the smile on her face made Aunt Fei glow even whiter.
"Aunt Fei, you’re so happy today," Li Xin also noticed Aunt Fei’s almost uncontrollable smile.
"Ah Xin, Ah Xin, I don’t have extra lessons today. Oh my god, the sun must be rising from the east," Xueyin couldn’t stop smiling. It was sothing unimaginable over the past year, even if the sky fell.
"Being given a break doesn’t an you should be complacent. Rest is for better learning," Lin Fei said, "Ah Xin, go change clothes, wash your hands. I’m going to show you so skills today."
Five dishes and one soup, Lin Fei had prepared it well in advance. She celebrated with Jina briefly, and Jina understood Lin Fei would be returning to care for the children and didn’t insist. She was definitely going to have an all-night celebration with friends while ribbing Ao Yi. She had a friend circle, which Lin Fei had participated in once but hadn’t quite lded in.
Coming ho early from work, having bought groceries, and picking up Huiyin, the family enjoyed a plentiful al, which was both joyous and fulfilling.
Lin Fei wasn’t one to discuss work over als, and she didn’t inquire about Li Xin’s Night Patrol duties, so they only talked about happy things.
After dinner, Lin Fei tidied up while Li Xin took Huiyin out for a walk. It was surprising to him that he was already at the stage of taking a kid out for a stroll. But thinking back to the Underground City days, this was the ti of day Huiyin looked forward to the most.
Holding a small hand in his large hand, Lin Fei’s voice ca from inside the house, "Don’t stay out too late; co back when it’s ti."
"Got it." The big and the small said in unison, and Huiyin’s steps seed as if she were about to bounce.
Having rare freedom, how could Lin Huiyin not run around? She took Li Xin to visit all the places she had scouted, so of which were too far away and would have to wait for another opportunity. They bought a bunch of stuff and returned quite late, but Lin Fei didn’t scold her this ti; she just told them to get ready and go to bed early.
Li Xin lay sprawled on the bed, exhausted and panting, wondering if he was getting old, feeling so tired just from strolling with a child. This girl already had such stamina. Were it not for fearing Lin Fei, they might have stayed out until midnight. But then again, compared to back then in the Underground City, where conditions were harsh, the spirit was free.
As he pondered, Li Xin fell asleep. On the way back to Dragon Capital, he was in a half-awake, half-asleep state most of the ti. Once he got ho, the nightmares finally ended.
Late at night, the dice trembled.
Under the starry sky, mbers of the Round Table Conference arrived one after another. From initial cautious curiosity to a state of calm expectation, even the way they sat was imbued with the aura of deities. Mr. Cancer was the first to arrive, followed by Miss Aries, and soon after, Mr. Leo, Mr. Libra, Mr. Cancer, and Mr. Taurus arrived in sequence.
"Good evening," Estella said sweetly.
"Good evening, Miss Aries. Hearing your voice even makes the starry sky brighter," Cantona said with a smile. He lived in a state of constant identity switching, always vigilant against probes from all sides. In any organization, traitors have no good outcos. There were tis when Cantona wondered why he didn’t plead with his teacher to return him to the Nether God Church. The Round Table Conference had beco his best place of rest in this state of tension.
"Taurus, your voice is a bit hoarse and weary; it seems life has been tough lately," Christian said casually, the sycophant.
Cantona smiled wryly, "Mr. Cancer, you’re too perceptive. My life is destined to be filled with hardships, jumping from one pit to another."
"Mr. Taurus, though suffering is not what we wish for, it ultimately becos part of what’s great," Li Xin said.
"Thank you, Mr. Gemini. It’s nothing really; I’m used to it. It’s just that I can’t help it at the Round Table Conference," Cantona didn’t mask his emotions, as he needed a place to reveal his true self.
"Mr. Gemini always manages to say sothing thought-provoking so effortlessly," Miss Aries remarked, as if he were a natural writer.
Christian pursed his lips and huffed.
The group looked towards the empty chair of Virgo.
Estella stood up, extending her left hand with natural elegance, "Everyone, let’s start the sharing segnt. I recently acquired hidden knowledge that the form of Divine Relics can change, and it’s said the changes tend to be beneficial."
