Chapter 109 White Tower Suspends Power, Lin Yuan Counterattacks
early morning.
The array patterns outside the Star Element Courtyard darkened.
It's like someone has stripped me of some permissions from the backend.
The silver-white academy emblem at the entrance of the courtyard used to light up automatically every morning, signifying that residents had normal access, resource collection, and outer-ring consumption rights.
But today.
The mark was only half lit.
The other half is a cold, gray color.
Lin Xiaoya stood at the door, staring blankly at the faded mark.
The ID card in her hand was also vibrating slightly.
A message appeared above.
The permissions for the Starry Courtyard have been adjusted.
Temporary restriction: Free passage on the outer ring road.
Temporary freeze: Supply of non-essential resources.
Recovery condition: Complete the second retest of stargate adaptation.
Lin Xiaoya looked at those lines of text, and her face gradually turned pale.
It's not that she doesn't understand.
She just didn't expect the Resource Institute to actually do that.
Yesterday, my brother tore up the notice for the retest of the White Pagoda.
Today, they started suspending permissions.
Like an invisible hand, it slowly tightened the air around her.
They won't let you live a normal life.
Then I'll tell you—
As long as we go to the White Pagoda for a retest, everything will be restored.
Lin Xiaoya lowered her head and whispered:
"elder brother."
"Is it because of me...?"
Lin Yuan stood behind her.
"no."
Lin Xiaoya bit her lip.
"But they suspended my access."
Lin Yuan looked at the gray notification on the identity card, his voice calm.
"They stopped something outside of your authority."
"It's their own fate."
Lin Xiaoya was stunned for a moment.
She looked up at her brother.
Lin Yuan offered no explanation.
He simply reached out and took the ID card from her hand.
The identity card is still flashing.
It was as if reminding him that this was a formal procedure from the Resource Institute.
Lin Yuan glanced at it and casually tossed it onto the table.
The air in the room suddenly felt a little heavier.
Lin Xiaoya didn't feel much.
But the few star-shaped flowers on the treetops outside the door seemed to be weighed down by some invisible weight, and drooped down gently.
Just then.
Footsteps could be heard outside the courtyard gate.
More than one person.
Su Qinghan arrived first.
When she saw the half-gray academy logo at the entrance, her face instantly turned cold.
"Did the Resource Institute really suspend access?"
Lin Xiaoya nodded.
Anger flashed in Su Qinghan's eyes.
"Are they crazy?"
"How long has it been since the Star Source Pool incident? How dare they continue to interfere?"
Lin Yuan remained silent.
Su Qinghan looked at him.
"What are you planning to do?"
Lin Yuan picked up his teacup.
"Waiting for someone to come."
"Waiting for whom?"
"People sent to their deaths."
Su Qinghan was taken aback.
next moment.
Another cold voice came from outside the courtyard.
"The people from the Resources Institute have arrived."
Everyone turned their heads.
Ning Wushuang stood outside the courtyard gate.
Today she was dressed in white battle armor, with the Ning family's Law Enforcement Hall badge hanging at her waist, her expression indifferent.
Behind her were two students from the Academy's Enforcement Hall.
Clearly, she didn't just happen to be passing by.
Su Qinghan frowned.
"What are you doing here?"
Ning Wushuang glanced at Lin Xiaoya, then looked at Lin Yuan.
"I heard that the Resource Institute suspended Lin Xiaoya's access privileges."
"Come and take a look."
She paused for a moment.
"Just a reminder, disabling permissions is only the first step."
"If the retest is refused within three days, the Resource Institute can apply for temporary guardianship of the White Tower."
Lin Xiaoya's face turned even paler.
"Temporary guardianship?"
Ning Wushuang nodded.
"It sounds like they're just moving the protection location."
"Actually, it means taking you into the White Tower."
Su Qinghan tightened her grip on the sword instantly.
"Qin Yue is circumventing the orders of the Marquis of Zhenxing."
Ning Wushuang said coldly:
"He did not openly and forcibly take them away."
"He just blocked all the paths one by one."
"This is the most disgusting thing about the Resource Institute."
"They might not necessarily strike first."
"They'll use rules to choke you first."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan finally raised his eyes.
Where is the White Pagoda?
Ning Wushuang was slightly taken aback.
She thought Lin Yuan would ask how to appeal.
But he asked where the White Pagoda was.
Ning Wushuang looked at him and slowly said:
"North of Longyuan Academy, the core area of Xingmen Research Institute."
"There is an independent protective array there."
"It also has shared authority between the Resource Institute and the Research Institute."
Lin Yuan nodded.
"understood."
Ning Wushuang frowned.
"What do you want to do?"
Lin Yuan said calmly:
"Didn't they want me to go to the Elders' Council?"
"I'm not looking."
"Too slow."
Su Qinghan's eyes flickered.
"Are you going directly to the Resource Institute?"
Lin Yuan did not answer.
Because someone outside the courtyard gate had already answered for him.
A group of staff from the Resources Institute walked from the end of the tree-lined path.
The leader was a middle-aged deacon.
He was dressed in a silver-white robe from the Resource Institute, with a badge gleaming on his chest.
Four recorders followed behind him.
There were also two martial artists from the Enforcement Hall.
Clearly, after the two recorders were scared away yesterday, the Resource Institute brought more people this time.
The middle-aged deacon stood outside the courtyard gate, his expression cold and hard.
"Lin Yuan".
"The Resource Institute has officially issued the authority adjustment order."
"Lin Xiaoya refused a second test for stargate adaptation."
"In accordance with the university's risk management regulations, some of its outer ring access and non-essential resource supply will be suspended."
"If the retest is not completed within three days, the Resources Institute will apply for a temporary guardianship procedure for the White Pagoda."
His tone was very steady.
There was not a trace of personal emotion involved.
But the more it's like this, the more disgusting it becomes.
Because he was using the calmest voice to say the most shameless things.
Su Qinghan said in a cold voice:
"You were just rejected yesterday, and your access has been suspended today."
"You still dare to say you're not forcing people?"
The middle-aged deacon glanced at her.
"Ms. Su, this is the procedure."
Ning Wushuang also spoke:
"Programs are not for bullying children."
The middle-aged deacon frowned slightly.
"Miss Ning, the Enforcement Hall has not yet intervened in this matter."
"You do not represent the Enforcement Hall now."
Ning Wushuang sneered.
"At least I know better than you resource institute staff what it means to have a sense of shame."
The middle-aged deacon's face darkened.
But he did not compete with Ning Wushuang.
He looked at Lin Yuan.
"Lin Yuan".
"Your act of tearing up the official notice yesterday was already disrespectful to the Resource Institute and the Stargate Research Institute."
"The Resource Institute is giving you one last chance."
"This afternoon, I took Lin Xiaoya to the White Pagoda to complete the retest."
"otherwise--"
He hadn't finished speaking.
Lin Yuan had already walked up to him.
The middle-aged deacon paused.
He instinctively took a half step back.
He suddenly felt the air in front of him become heavy.
Lin Yuan looked at him.
"Otherwise what?"
The middle-aged deacon's throat tightened.
He forced himself to calm down.
"Otherwise, the Resource Institute will upgrade its access restrictions in accordance with the law."
Lin Yuan nodded.
"Who gave the order?"
The middle-aged deacon said:
Elder Qin Yue.
Where is he?
"Main Building of the Institute of Resources".
"it is good."
The middle-aged deacon frowned.
"What do you mean?"
Lin Yuan did not reply.
He turned around and looked at Lin Xiaoya.
"Wait for me at home."
Lin Xiaoya's expression changed.
"elder brother……"
Lin Yuandao:
"Don't be afraid."
Done.
He stepped out of the courtyard gate.
A bad feeling suddenly arose in the middle-aged deacon's heart.
"Lin Yuan, what do you want to do?"
Lin Yuan walked past him.
The voice was calm.
Go ask him.
"How many lives do you have left?"
The middle-aged deacon's expression changed drastically.
"Stop him!"
Two martial artists from the Enforcement Hall immediately stepped forward.
Their cultivation levels were not weak; they were all at the early stage of Grandmaster.
But as soon as he stood in front of Lin Yuan, his body suddenly froze.
No one saw clearly what Lin Yuan did.
There was a loud bang.
Two grandmaster-level martial artists knelt on the ground at the same time.
His knee shattered the bluestone ground.
Their faces were deathly pale, their bodies trembling, yet they couldn't even lift their heads.
It felt like an invisible mountain was pressing down on my shoulders.
The middle-aged deacon's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Protect the seal!"
Lin Yuan did not stop walking.
He didn't even glance at the two kneeling martial artists.
Ning Wushuang stood outside the courtyard gate, but her expression changed.
She saw things more clearly than the middle-aged deacon.
There was no protective seal fluctuation just now.
The two grandmasters knelt down as if they were being crushed by some kind of pure qi and blood pressure.
But how is that possible?
Isn't Lin Yuan at the first level of the Qi and Blood Realm?
Su Qinghan remained silent.
As she watched Lin Yuan's retreating figure, she felt a surge of satisfaction.
Doesn't Qin Yue like to follow the rules?
Now, Lin Yuan went to talk to him personally.
……
The outer ring of Longyuan Academy.
Lin Yuan walked towards the main building of the Resources Institute.
Wherever he went, all the students around him instinctively made way for him.
Someone recognized him.
"Lin Yuan?"
"Was he heading towards the Resources Institute?"
"The Resources Institute just suspended Lin Xiaoya's access privileges."
"Is he going to find Qin Yue?"
"Are you crazy?"
The discussions grew louder and louder.
The news spread rapidly.
Everyone knows now.
The Qi and Blood Realm Level 1 cultivator from District 7 was heading towards the main building of the Resource Institute.
And this moment.
The main building of the Institute of Resources.
Qin Yue sat at his desk, reviewing the application for a retest of the White Pagoda.
A deacon rushed in.
"Elder!"
"Lin Yuan is here!"
Qin Yue looked up.
"Who let him in?"
The deacon's face turned pale.
"No one can stop him."
Qin Yue's eyes darkened.
next moment.
A loud bang was heard outside the main building of the Resources Institute.
boom!
The heavy courtyard gate was kicked open.
The entire door, along with the array, collapsed inwards.
Everyone in the lobby of the Resource Institute looked up abruptly.
The dust dispersed.
Lin Yuan stood at the door.
His expression was calm.
Qin Yue slowly walked out from upstairs.
His face was extremely gloomy.
"Lin Yuan".
"Do you know where this place is?"
Lin Yuan looked up at him.
"Know."
"Resource Institute".
Qin Yue said coldly:
"Unauthorized entry into the resource compound, damage to the compound gate, and injury to law enforcement officers."
"Are you challenging the rules of Longyuan Academy?"
Lin Yuan said calmly:
"You suspended my sister's access."
Qin Yue said:
"That's a program."
Lin Yuan nodded.
"So I followed my procedure."
Qin Yue frowned.
"Your program?"
Lin Yuan stepped into the hall.
Every step taken.
The floor of the hall suddenly sank slightly.
Several martial artists inside the resource institute tried to step forward, but as soon as they moved, they were pressed to the spot by an invisible pressure.
Lin Yuan walked to the center of the hall.
Looking at Qin Yue.
"First."
"Restore Lin Xiaoya's privileges."
"second."
"Withdraw the retest of the White Pagoda."
"third."
"Don't touch her again."
Qin Yue was so angry that he laughed instead.
"Who do you think you are?"
"You dare to order me around at the Resource Institute with just a protective seal?"
Lin Yuan looked at him.
"You don't have to listen."
Qin Yue's eyes were cold and sharp.
"What if I don't listen?"
Lin Yuan raised his hand.
In the lobby of the Resource Institute, a long table engraved with the institute's emblem suddenly collapsed inward.
It was as if an invisible hand had forcibly crushed it into a lump of scrap metal from all sides.
Everyone's expression changed drastically.
Lin Yuan's voice remained calm.
"I won't listen."
"You're next."
The hall was deathly silent.
Qin Yue's expression finally changed.
He is the head of the resource institute.
They are of noble status.
But he himself was only at the late stage of the Town General realm.
In the upper echelons of Longyuan City, power is relied upon by the Resource Institute, not by absolute force.
At this moment, the invisible pressure emanating from Lin Yuan made him feel for the first time that he was very close to death.
Very close.
Just when the atmosphere was about to completely collapse.
A steady voice came from outside the Resource Institute.
That's enough.
Marquis Zhenxing has arrived.
Everyone's expression changed.
They all bowed their heads.
Qin Yue, as if he had finally found a backer, immediately spoke:
"My lord, Lin Yuan has trespassed into the Resource Institute, damaged the gate, and threatened the elders. This matter must be severely punished!"
Marquis Zhenxing did not look at him.
Instead, he looked at Lin Yuan.
"What are you doing at the Resource Institute?"
Lin Yuandao:
"Restore his privileges."
Marquis Zhenxing looked at Qin Yue.
"You suspended Lin Xiaoya's privileges?"
Qin Yue's expression stiffened slightly.
"According to procedure, she refused to undergo a retest, and the Resource Institute has the right to..."
Marquis Zhenxing interrupted:
"What did I say?"
Qin Yue felt a lump in his throat.
Marquis Zhenxing's voice turned colder.
"Lin Xiaoya must not be forcibly taken away."
Qin Yue said:
"I didn't forcibly take him away, I just adjusted his access permissions."
Marquis Zhenxing looked at him.
"You think this is clever?"
Qin Yue's face was grim.
Marquis Zhenxing said:
"Restore permissions".
Qin Yue suddenly looked up.
"My lord!"
Marquis Zhenxing's tone did not rise.
"I said."
"Restore permissions".
The lobby of the Resource Institute was deathly silent.
Qin Yue's knuckles turned white from clenching his fists.
He knew that he had lost again today.
In front of the entire Resource Institute.
Forced by Lin Yuan.
But he can't keep going.
Qin Yue gritted his teeth.
"Restore Lin Xiaoya's privileges."
"The re-survey of the White Pagoda... is postponed."
Lin Yuan glanced at him.
"Postponed?"
Qin Yue's face froze.
Marquis Zhenxing also looked at him.
Qin Yue practically spat out the two words through gritted teeth.
"withdraw."
Lin Yuan then withdrew his gaze.
He turned and left.
He offered no explanation from beginning to end.
They didn't even take the Resource Institute seriously.
Marquis Zhenxing watched his retreating figure, a deep look flashing in his eyes.
After Lin Yuan left.
Zhenxing Hou then looked at Qin Yue.
"Qin Yue".
"This will not be repeated."
Qin Yue's face was gloomy, and he lowered his head.
Deep within his eyes, the hatred gradually subsided.
He retired today.
But the White Pagoda will not be demolished.
The Cleansing Gate Project will not be halted just because of Lin Yuan's words.
……
Starry Courtyard.
Lin Xiaoya's ID card lit up again.
The grayed-out permissions have been restored to silver.
Lin Xiaoya stared blankly at the identity card.
Su Qinghan breathed a sigh of relief.
Ning Wushuang remained silent for a long time.
She suddenly whispered:
"He really went to the Resource Institute."
Su Qinghan said:
"That's just the kind of person he is."
Ning Wushuang looked towards the direction of the Resource Institute in the distance, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
One Qi and Blood Realm Level 1.
He ventured into the resource institute alone.
Force Qin Yue to restore his privileges.
In the end, he escaped unscathed.
She never dared to even think about such a thing before.
And this moment.
The Black Tower of the Celestial Patrol Bureau.
After hearing the whole story, Gu Changye lowered his head and smiled for a long time.
He wrote a line in his notebook.
"Let's keep competing against him."
"Pushed to the very end."
"You will find that you have never offended the Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator."
"It's that guy."
