64: Chapter 64: The Fish with a 14-Second Memory – No Need to Talk About Feelings

As the golden light landed on the Spirit Probing Armor and merged into its body, the outline of the Spirit Probing Armor appeared in Li Yu's mind, as if it were a 3D image.

Following that, the outline gradually became clear. Even the distribution of blood vessels, muscles, and bones could be seen distinctly. Which scales were broken and which were intact could all be seen clearly in his mind.

As he understood more, Li Yu's expression became increasingly shocked.

High-Rank Spirit Probing Hand—it truly lived up to the words "High-Rank." Just this single effect was more detailed and accurate than the results from countless machines.

With this, even without machines, he could easily understand the condition of a beast and thus make the most accurate judgment.

Because his mind was shaken, the Spirit Probing Hand came to an abrupt end, and the increasingly clear image in his mind collapsed. However, Li Yu had a feeling that if he continued to use it, there would be further changes.

Hindered by the presence of others, Li Yu did not continue to try. The High-Rank Spirit Probing Hand he had just used was already enough for him to understand the situation of the Spirit Probing Armor.

"Big brother, how is it?" Li Meng asked.

The mysterious woman also looked over curiously.

Li Yu nodded slightly. "It is out of danger. I have prepared a potion for it; with a few days of quiet rest, it will be fine once the scales grow back."

Li Meng breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and said, "That's good."

"Why is your beast injured like this?" the mysterious woman asked.

Li Meng waved her hand. "It's not our beast. It was suddenly scratching at my door just now, and after my brother saw it, he brought it here."

Upon hearing this, the mysterious woman curiously sized up Li Yu.

Coincidentally, Li Yu also looked over. As their eyes met, one was curious, and the other was also curious.

"Ah~" The woman yawned and said, "Since it's fine, you should go back. I should be leaving too."

After speaking, she turned and left. Her long skirt was only a few inches off the ground. Only then did Li Yu notice that the woman was actually barefoot.

"Hey! Big sister, you aren't wearing shoes." Li Meng also noticed this and blurted out.

The woman turned her head, lifted her own foot to look at it, and nodded in a slightly dazed manner. "That's right, I forgot."

When she put her foot back down, cold mist swirled, turning into a pair of ice-crystal-like high heels. Her temperament changed abruptly, from the dazed, harmless girl-next-door vibe to cold and arrogant.

After the woman went out and walked into the distance, a white fox the size of a cat appeared from nowhere and followed the woman away. It was obviously her beast.

The distance was too great; Li Yu wanted to check the fox's attributes but couldn't, and he felt secretly regretful.

"Let's go, we should head back too."

"Okay."

The siblings turned off the lights, took the Spirit Probing Armor, left the cultivation room, and walked back out of the company the same way they came.

"What were you talking about with her just now?" Li Yu asked.

Li Meng had been lost in thought; hearing Li Yu's question, she blurted out, "Just talking about you, big brother. Where you studied, what your personality is like, which elders are in the family, how many times you wore skirts and high heels when you were a child... Uh..."

Before she could finish, Li Meng suddenly felt a chill down her spine. Turning her head, she saw Li Yu's face was as dark as a Coal Turtle.

"Ahem, well, big brother, you are someone who is going to become a Senior Cultivator, you need to have some magnanimity."

"I already am."

"Exactly, then you need to have even more magnanimity."

"I can't, I'm petty."

"Being petty means you won't be able to find a wife, you need to be broad-minded."

"Is that so?" Li Yu said with a forced smile. "Before that happens, I'll perform funeral rites for you first."

Li Meng took off running, her comical screams echoing outside the Bright Moon Company building. "Help!~~~" "Don't run! Stop right there!"

The siblings chased each other as they left, which was tough on the Spirit Probing Armor; it had finally just regained some consciousness, only to be shaken dizzy again in the blink of an eye.

The chase ended with Li Meng being caught by Li Yu, admitting her mistake, but resolutely refusing to change.

Li Yu couldn't be bothered to lecture her; he only warned her not to blabber about his business anymore, to which Li Meng just chuckled.

It couldn't be said whether her judgment of people was accurate or not, but based on her first impression, the woman gave Li Meng a very good feeling. Plus, since the other party asked so many things about her brother, she instinctively started promoting him.

Promoting whom? Her own big brother.

If it were before, she wouldn't have done this. After all, her brother graduated from a technical school, and others might not necessarily think much of him. But now it was different—he was a newly adult Senior Cultivator!

You wouldn't find such a catch even if you searched with a lantern!

Matching him with a female corporate executive or a powerful female Beast Tamer—was there any problem with that? No problem!

Watching Li Meng acting inexplicably excited all the way home, like she had been injected with chicken blood, Li Yu didn't know why he felt a chill in his heart.

Back home, Li Yu placed the nest the Northward Sable had previously discarded on the nightstand and settled the Spirit Probing Armor into it. Watching it immediately curl its body up, sleeping in a way that lacked any sense of security, he felt an inexplicable sense of displeasure.

"Some people really don't know how to cherish things. Such a sentimental beast, and they just abandon it like that."

Coo coo... The Silver Scale Bubble Fish swam over, blowing bubbles.

Li Yu stared at it. 14 seconds later, the Silver Scale Bubble Fish, with eyes as clear and stupid as a college student's, turned and left.

Li Yu felt even more displeased. Hmph! Sure enough, you can't talk about feelings with a fish that only has a 14-second memory.

The next day, Li Yu checked the injuries. The Spirit Probing Armor was recovering very quickly. Although it hadn't woken up yet, the external wounds had basically scabbed over, and the scales were starting to grow back.

In less than two days, it would be seventy to eighty percent recovered.

After breakfast, Li Yu arrived at Bright Moon Company.

As soon as he walked into the Intern study room, the talking inside came to an abrupt halt. Twelve pairs of eyes looked at Li Yu in unison. An eerie silence fell; everyone remained quiet.

"Why are you looking at me?" Li Yu frowned.

As his words fell, the 12 people stood up one after another and walked toward Li Yu without a word, their hands behind their backs.

Li Yu frowned, secretly remaining vigilant.

Suddenly, the person in the lead extended a hand, holding an exquisite breakfast.

"Come, come, Brother Li, you haven't had breakfast yet, right? This is Wang's Rice Noodle Roll that I waited in line for half an hour to buy." That Intern said with a flattering face.

"Get lost! You think you can try to butter him up with just some rice noodle rolls? Brother, Brother Li, try my Crazy Thursday."

"You have the nerve to bring out American fast food? Brother, look at this claypot rice noodle of mine. I even brought the claypot; want to eat a bit together?"

"Mine, mine!" "And me!"

While everyone was speaking, they blocked the doorway completely, each holding food, afraid that Li Yu wouldn't accept it.

Li Yu looked at them expressionless.

After a long while, he asked, "Is there something?"

The group of Interns looked at each other, then, with cautious smiles on their faces, the one with the Wang's Rice Noodle Roll who was squeezed at the very front said, "Brother, it was our fault during the interview earlier. You are a big person with a big heart; please don't hold it against us."

"Yes, yes, we know we were wrong. We won't dare do it again." said the Claypot Noodle guy.

The Crazy Thursday guy nodded hurriedly, the Yonghe Soy Milk guy expressed that he truly knew he was wrong, and the other breakfast "agents" were much the same.

Li Yu didn't speak, just calmly scanned the circle.

He knew in his heart that these people didn't realize they were wrong; they were just afraid. They knew they had squeezed out a Senior Cultivator and were now starting to panic.

Why act like that in the first place?

Just at this moment, Yan Shu walked over from the other end of the corridor. Seeing everyone crowding at the door, he thought they were causing trouble and shouted, "What are you all crowding here for? All of you, get back!"

After a few days of training, everyone felt some fear toward this cold-faced guy. Almost as soon as his voice rang out, these Interns returned to their seats at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

Yan Shu passed by Li Yu, looked at him with a complex expression, and asked, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, thank you."

"You're welcome," Yan Shu patted Li Yu's shoulder. "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. We know your level; it doesn't matter if you don't pass the assessment, you'll definitely pass next time. I think highly of you."

Yan Shu entered the study room, leaving only Li Yu stunned at the doorway, looking at Yan Shu with a confused face. The latter's face was written all over with the words, "Although you won't pass the exam, I still think highly of you."

Wait. What's going on?

Li Yu scratched his head and muttered in his heart, "Could there be some misunderstanding in this?"
