The matter with the Truth Sect was resolved, and Wang Xuan took the opportunity to rescue the unfortunate girl, Su Qiubai. If this naïve girl were to have her record tainted by the Truth Sect, it might affect her future.

Being detained for a few days isn’t easy for the school to handle; it might lead to gossip and discrimination, disrupting her studies.

Upon knowing Wang Xuan’s association with Immortal Martial Mountain, the deputy director smartly gave face and immediately promised to resolve the issue.

“Opportunists are everywhere, but don’t tarnish your badge.” Wang Xuan knew very well what kind of person this was!

A dignified deputy director, yet he showed such a flattering face towards him, even though he’s in the Divine Treasure Realm.

It truly opened his eyes.

“I still need Immortal Martial Mountain’s backing to keep him in check. I really wonder if without backing, he’d have pounced like a hungry wolf?”

People’s hearts can’t withstand tests, and Wang Xuan was not satisfied with his actions today. He shouldn’t have shown his capability to these people.

“Honestly, I’m a bit disappointed with this world. I wonder what heaven thinks?

Is it true that if you’re not a little bad, a little ruthless, you can’t survive?”

…

Click! The door opened.

In the detention room, a policeman signaled to Su Qiubai: “Su Qiubai, you can leave now.”

“What? I, I can leave now?” Su Qiubai had been informed earlier that she would have to stay for eight to ten days.

In such a long time, her family must have already been alarmed.

But why was she being released so quickly?

“Yes, now.”

But the policeman’s words caused an uproar in the room, as well as in the adjacent rooms.

“Officer, officer, what about us? Can we be released too?” they asked urgently and anxiously.

“You? Hmph!” The policeman sneered, “You all stay here and reflect honestly!”

“Why! This isn’t fair! Why can she go out and we can’t? You’re bending the law!” they shouted.

They were out of luck; why could Su Qiubai be let go? They would rather she stayed in here with them to feel balanced psychologically.

This policeman had seen such scenes often, and led Su Qiubai out, closing the door again.

“Why? Because she has a Seven-Star Citizen as a guarantor, who has the capability to bail her out, even taking responsibility if necessary.

Can you?

If you can find someone of that stature to guarantee you, I’ll let you leave right now without a word.”

Su Qiubai was still a bit dazed, had she just been muddle-headedly released?

Suddenly, she heard a classmate calling out: “Qiubai, Qiubai, you can’t leave me alone here, rescue me.”

“I’ll try my best…” Su Qiubai said with little confidence, unsure of who exactly had helped her out, though she had a rough guess.

Wang Xuan stood at the door, waiting for Su Qiubai to come out.

Before long, he saw her. She looked haggard, with swollen eyes.

“So ugly.”

This one comment made the already anxious Su Qiubai explode. She charged at Wang Xuan in a flurry of rage.

“Who are you calling ugly! Who are you calling ugly!”

Wang Xuan grabbed the girl’s collar and lifted her: “Let’s head back, there’s nothing wrong if you’re being this rowdy, you’re in fair condition.”

The two walked quietly, neither speaking. Su Qiubai felt embarrassed for getting detained, especially since her rescuer was someone she found rather annoying.

As for Wang Xuan, he didn’t have much to say to the girl. Aside from being very pretty, Su Qiubai had no other merits; she was a typical layabout, lazy, playing games.

When Su Qiubai finally realized her classmate was still held back at the police station, they had already walked quite a distance.

“Um, Wang Xuan, I have a classmate who’s also locked up, can you…”

“No.” Wang Xuan boarded the city’s floating rail car, flatly declining.

Su Qiubai was upset by how directly he turned her down; couldn’t he be a little more tactful?

“Why!” Su Qiubai pouted, clearly displeased.

Wang Xuan, looking at the scenery outside the car, said: “Because favors are expensive, I don’t know your classmate, and there’s no need to waste my favor to bail her out.”

The girl had no idea how difficult it was for her to get out; even if her aunt Bai Yuzhen threw millions, she couldn’t have been bailed out, still leaving a stain on her record, detained for ten days.

“Stingy.” Su Qiubai murmured.

“Well, in any case, thank you.” Her thank-you was almost inaudible, but Wang Xuan’s keen hearing caught it clearly.

“No need to thank me, just don’t be so foolish next time.

The so-called Evolutionary Secrets and immortality knowledge from the Truth Sect is indeed useful, part of a complete cultivation system; they have genuine goods.

But they didn’t tell you that unlocking the genetic code and rapidly improving physical fitness also comes at a cost. What they taught you as evolutionary abilities are actually just overextending life potential.

If you go that route, you won’t live past thirty, dying very early.

They give you a bit of sweetness, just to better use you for the Truth Sect’s purposes, understand?”

The things the Truth Sect provided to their followers were actually used by Death Warriors from the Evolution Realm, who, when facing dire situations, sacrifice lifespan and potential to unleash great combat power.

As for legitimate cultivation, understanding the evolutionary code to evolve both flesh body and soul and attain immortality requires massive cultivation resources and specific cultivation techniques, even demanding high requirements from cultivators.

Made one wrong move, and such evolution could lead to the collapse of the flesh body and death; the risks are too high.

Of course, with enough resources, the speed of evolution is quite fast. There are rumors that in the Evolution Realm, some geniuses have used a massive amount of resources to evolve to the level of a True Immortal within ten years.

The speed of evolution is truly enviable.

The cultivation system of the Evolution Realm has its strengths, but compared to Earth, it still falls short in potential and combat power.

Otherwise, the Evolution Realm wouldn’t have been breached.

“Oh.” Su Qiubai nodded.

They got off the car and walked to the neighborhood, with the girl rushing home. She had lost a lot of face today, needing ten days to recover her dignity.

Only when everyone forgot would she walk proudly again.

The neighborhood was as peaceful as ever, with everyone living comfortably, going to work, attending school, or relying on the Federation’s welfare.

Not great, but not bad either.

An old lady, appearing to be in her seventies or eighties, with white hair, passed by Wang Xuan and suddenly fell with a cry.

“Young man, please help me up.” The old lady said.

Wang Xuan raised his eyebrows, looking at her earnestly. Her cloudy gaze revealed her old age.

Yet beneath those eyes lay ill intentions.

He did wonder what kind of trick this old hag was up to.

“Alright.” Wang Xuan helped her up; with his billions, helping an old lady was no problem.

The old lady stood shaking, rubbing her knee and crying out: “I bumped my bone, I live alone in unit five, first floor, it’s quite a distance, and I’m afraid I can’t walk.”

“My son is away on business, I’m the only one at home.

“Young man, could you do me a kindness and help me back? The old lady will be very grateful.”

Her words conveyed an air of melancholy, the helplessness of being old and frail, stirring sympathy.

“Alright.” Wang Xuan nodded, seeing her pitiful state, then supported her forward.

The old lady walked very slowly, and with an injured leg, it was even harder; a few hundred meters took them over ten minutes, with Wang Xuan patiently enduring it.

Reaching unit five and helping the old lady home, Wang Xuan was about to leave, but unexpectedly the old lady grabbed his hand.

“Young man, the old lady hasn’t thanked you yet, why not have a cup of tea before leaving?”

She was very polite, her face showing gratitude yet tinged with sorrow, fearing Wang Xuan wouldn’t even give her a chance to express her thanks.

Wang Xuan waved his hand: “No need.”

“Please, please.”

The old lady was very courteous, quickly pouring hot tea from the teapot, handing it to Wang Xuan once the leaves had opened.

“Drink, drink, this is the old lady’s heartfelt gratitude.”

Wang Xuan drank it in a gulp, setting the cup down: “I’ve had the tea; I should go now, I have things to do and can’t stay here.”

“Go? Why leave, when staying here with the old lady is better?”

With a kind face, the old lady revealed a cold smile as soon as Wang Xuan drank the tea.

“The tea has something special added to it; even a fierce beast could be poisoned by it, let alone you.

“How about it? Can’t move anymore?”

The old lady clapped her hands, and at once a door opened, revealing three burly men, glaring at Wang Xuan menacingly.
