Chapter 553: 302 Interrogation (First Update)

Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang brought Bai Qianqian to the doorstep of the Bai Family’s house when Bai Ye was already there waiting. With a smile on his face, he personally welcomed the three inside, but his smile slightly faded when facing Fang Yuyang, his gaze carrying a hint of unwelcome, nearly bordering on openly finding him troublesome. Fang Yuyang, on the other hand, gave a smug smile, looking at Bai Ye with equal disdain.

The two exchanged a look, then quickly averted their gazes, as if nothing had happened, and hastened into the house. Once inside the living room, Fang Yuxin released her Spiritual Sense to scan the area and, finding nothing out of the ordinary, set up a barrier to seal the entire living room.

Bai Ye noticed her actions, and his smile withdrew, his expression turning more serious, "What’s the matter?" He did not suspect Fang Yuxin, but seeing her so cautious, he guessed something must have occurred, or perhaps, Fang Yuxin was about to say something she did not want anyone else to hear.

Bai Ye was in a foul mood. They had just arrived at Beishi Base not long ago, originally thinking they could rest properly, but events kept occurring one after another, leaving them no time even to rest. He felt an instinctive dislike for the person behind all this!

After setting up the barrier, Fang Yuxin took out a small box, opened the lid, and pushed it towards Bai Ye. Bai Ye looked down and saw a sesame-sized black dot in the middle of the palm-sized box; other than that, there was nothing else. That is to say, what Fang Yuxin wanted him to see was precisely this black dot.

"What is this?" Bai Ye curiously picked up the box, released his Spiritual Sense to check it, and then his expression gradually grew even more serious.

Only then did Fang Yuxin speak, "Someone has controlled this to surveil my home. After discovering it, I sealed it. I suppose you’ve noticed as well—this is a type of miniature mechanical insect, meticulously crafted with an extremely intricate internal structure. I am not very familiar with the cutting-edge technologies of various countries, not clear whether the current level of technology could achieve this. Do you know anything?"

Bai Ye put down the box, his expression solemn, "As far as I know, current technology can’t achieve this, this type of flying insect is too finely made, not seeming like something attainable with current technology. Regarding the mastermind, have you guessed who it might be?"

Bai Ye felt sure Fang Yuxin must have guessed something; otherwise, she wouldn’t have come to him.

Sure enough, as soon as he spoke, Fang Yuxin nodded and said, "I suspect, this has something to do with Zhao Qiankun. You must already know, the communicators popular at the Beishi Base are Zhao Qiankun’s research institute’s invention, as well as the blood detecting strips used at the base entrance. Right before this mechanical insect appeared, Zhao Qiankun had contacted me, wanting me to join the Qiankun Mercenary Group; I refused, so I suspect this insect is his."

Bai Ye gently tapped his fingers on the tabletop, speaking softly about the information he currently knew, "Zhao Qiankun is a mysterious person; no one can trace his origins, as if he came out of nowhere, so your suspicion is not without reason. But if this mechanical insect really is his, does that mean... he has already mastered advanced technology beyond what is currently available? This is too..."

He was about to say "inconceivable," but suddenly remembered Fang Yuxin’s space and the legacy of the Dragon Scale Sword he had received. In the past, he might have thought such a thing was inconceivable, but now, he felt that if it was indeed Zhao Qiankun, then this person must have obtained a powerful "golden finger," possibly—some future technology.

Bai Ye looked down at the tiny mechanical insect in the box, which, although meticulously made and suitable for reconnaissance, had no attack power; it could only be considered a support-type gadget. But if Zhao Qiankun possessed it, might he also have more terrifying and powerful weapons at his disposal?

If that were the case, this person would definitely be a fearsome adversary!

Fang Yuxin also felt a chill, having obtained Qingmu Spiritual Mansion, it was indeed a Cultivation Spiritual Mansion, yet besides the cultivation technique, she didn’t have a proper weapon from the Cultivation World in her possession, unlike Bai Ye, who had received the legacy of the Dragon Scale Sword, a weapon known to be very powerful. She wondered how he had such luck!

She looked at Bai Ye, her heart feeling sour.

Yet Bai Ye suddenly looked up, meeting Fang Yuxin’s gaze. That gaze was filled with sourness and a bit of petty jealousy. Bai Ye paused for a moment, then immediately understood Fang Yuxin’s intention and couldn’t help but smile wryly. He hadn’t expected that, after so long, Fang Yuxin was still jealous over the Dragon Scale Sword having chosen him.
