In the ancient martial arts world, news of Lisa's return spread in an instant. All the youth who had trained in the Mountain Range of Death were all gathered there now, vibrating in excitement as they waited for her to arrive.
It had only been two weeks, but this group of youngsters looked completely different and seemed to have been through a drastic change.
There was a hardened look on their faces, and the aura they exuded were silently imposing. No one would be able to doubt the strength in their bodies, and even the elders who had just arrived in a rush were shocked by the aura that they could feel coming from them.
Taehee and Joowon both stood where they were, until a familiar black car pulled up, and an expression of joy appeared on the older woman's face. She raised her hands to wave at them.
"You're finally back." Taehee looked at Lisa, studying her from head to toe, and seeing that she hadn't become thinner in the short time she was gone, finally let out a sigh of relief. Then, she hooked her arm around the younger girl's, pulling her along. "I was so anxious when I saw the news, the volcano eruption happened in Japan coincidentally at the same time you both were there."
Though she knew the two were fully capable of taking care of themselves, Taehee still couldn't help but worry.
Kihyun and everyone else who were following behind had heard the words that Taehee had said to Lisa, and they couldn't help the thoughts that surfaced in their hearts, 'Of all the people you're worried about, you're worried about those two? Those two had scared the pants out of everyone in Japan's power world, what the heck could happen to them?'
"Miss Lalisa." At this time, the group of youngsters from the ancient martial arts world finally spoke, and they were all looking at her with excitement in their eyes.
Lisa glanced at them, her eyes narrowing slightly. She sent out a probe at their strength with her mental powers, and said, "You've been working hard in the past days that I wasn't around, not bad."
At this moment in time, what was more exciting and thrilling than getting recognition from Miss Lalisa?
The youngsters were practically vibrating in the spot, trying hard to restrain themselves.
Taehee and Joowon exchange glances, seeing the pride that lurks in each other's eyes. This person, who had the undying faith of everyone here, this was their daughter-in-law!
"Come on, let's go home. The butler has already prepared food and is waiting for your arrival." Taehee tugged on Lisa's arm.
Jungkook glanced at Taehee, seeing the mirth in her eyes. He paused, but chose not to speak in the end.
"Miss Lalisa, Young Master Jeon, you're back?" The great elder and others came rushing up. Seeing the both of them, they smiled. "The ancient martial arts world..."
"Great Elder, the two have just arrived back, let's talk about things later on in the afternoon." Taehee eyed the great elder, knowing that the expression on his face spoke volumes about wanting to just grab these two away.
The great elder's mouth slammed shut immediately, he had initially just wanted to heap some praises onto Lisa only though?
"Let's go, back to Peace Manor." Kihyun waited for Lisa to leave before taking the others back to their own place.
Cecily and Cecil looked at the group of youngsters from the ancient martial arts world, and the two were hard-pressed to react for a long while. Though they hadn't personally known any of them, they could tell that the aura coming from them was clearly surprising.
"Sis..." Cecil could feel his voice breaking as he tried to form words. "It has only been a month since we were here, when did the ancient martial arts world gain so many extraordinary talents?"
He felt like his body was floating in the skies, as though this was not real.
Shocked!
Extremely dumbfounded!
Although the ancient martial arts world was more powerful than the power worlds, you could say they were only stronger by a couple of points. Other than Jungkook, the others were more or less on equal footing, but now... when did so many extraordinary talents appear? It had just been a month, and they had grown to such terrifying heights?
Looking at each one of them, it was as though they had been through a baptism of blood to gain such an aura.
"Don't look at me, I don't know either." Cecily was also in the same dazed state, feeling the entire situation was just so unreal.
At this moment, she suddenly recalled the words of their leader, [If she wanted to, she could create a force that was a hundred times stronger than us at any time.]
"I've never once felt that our leader was a wise person," Cecily muttered. Though she had expected it, to see it in person was a completely different thing.
"Manor Master Yao, you're all finally back!" The same group of youngsters had rushed over to the others once Jungkook and Lisa had left. They all looked at the people from Peace Manor with respect and admiration in their eyes, and someone suddenly said, "I heard from Baili Chanwoo that Miss Lalisa has recruited someone into Peace Manor?"
In the entire group, there were only four people who were unfamiliar to them.
Cecily, Cecil, Alang, and Joyner.
Cecily and Cecil were still more well known than the other two in the ancient martial arts world, and the only real new faces were Alang and Joyner. Joyner was too young, so it wasn't possible for it to be her, and so all eyes turned to Alang immediately.
Alang: "..." I'm probably going to die.
"Bro, condolences." Jimin held back the grin that threatened to stretch across his face as he patted Alang on the shoulder. "Didn't Lili have you practicing hard the past few days? It's time to test that strength of yours."
Cecily and Cecil finally gathered themselves at this time, and they shot Alang a sympathetic look before slowly leaving the area.
***
At the Jeon family residence.
"Butler Jeon, you've prepared so much." Taehee couldn't help but laugh lightly as she sat Lisa down at one of the chairs, watching as dish after dish was carried out and placed on the table. "When it was only Joowon and myself at home, we've never seen such a rich variety of dishes."
Joowon also eyed the butler silently at that.
Butler Jeon's face remained unchanged, and he merely bowed slightly and said, "I will pay attention to that next time."
"The great elder seems to have something going on." The dinner table of the Jeon family had long since stopped being a place where they ate in complete silence. Lisa glanced at Jungkook, saying softly, "Go on ahead to the Elders' Pavillon later."
Jungkook didn't reply, staring at her with a hint of questioning in his eyes.
"I want to bring Joyner to the labs. Her illness is not completely healed yet." Lisa explained in a low voice.
The man turned away at her words, nodding slightly. His thin lips were pressed tightly, showing his understanding of the situation.
However, his brows were still furrowed tightly.
After they had finished eating, they didn't linger a moment longer and left to be busy once again. Lisa had wanted to leave right away, but her legs were suddenly heavier and she looked down into what seemed like a pile of snow. She leaned down immediately to pick Haha up in her arms.
Taehee and Joowon came back into the house after seeing the two younger people off. Butler Jeon was sitting on the sofa, watching the news with a grave expression on his face. Seeing the two come back in, he stood up immediately.
"They're still broadcasting the same news?" Taehee sighed, seeing the news about the volcanic eruption in Japan. "How could this extinct volcano just suddenly rise and live again? It's fortunate that there were no casualties."
"For these types of mountains to erupt after hundreds of years of silence, every eruption equals a worldwide disaster," Butler Jeon also spoke his thoughts. "But it looked like the people of Japan handled it well."
It was handled well indeed. The power world of Japan had thought that after this disaster, everyone would be panicked and unstable, giving into despair. But they didn't think that none of those would happen, and instead they seem to band together more tightly, having unprecedented courage and looking forward instead.
Taehee continued reading the headlines, and sighed again. "The earthquakes in America previously have also been handled well. Technology has really developed a lot over the years, and they are able to predict earthquakes and volcanic eruptions so accurately. It would be great if our country could also be that advanced."
"You can't possibly believe what the news is reporting?" Joowon said to his wife, smiling suddenly.
Even the technology to predict earthquakes wasn't that accurate nowadays, how could they predict a volcanic eruption, much less an extinct volcano? And they had even calculated and predicted the range of the damage?
You have to know that the hardest thing to predict in this world was nature.
Taehee turned her glance to Joowon, her expression confused. "What do you mean?"
"Didn't you realize the similarities between the two incidents?" Joowon asked instead.
Similarities? What similarities? Taehee thought about it for a while, but she couldn't pinpoint it, turning to look at Joowon again.
Joowon's attention was on the news, with a mysterious expression on his face.
"Madam," Butler Jeon said from where he stood at the side, a chuckle coming from his mouth. "The similarities are easy to find. Didn't you realize that the two places were also the places that the Young Master and Miss Lalisa visited?"
Taehee nodded her head, that's right, it had indeed been the same two places that Jungkook and Lisa had been, and that was why she had been worried and anxious when the news came.
Wait?!
Something didn't seem right?!
Taehee raised her head, looking at Joowon again. "You... Are you saying that, Lili..."
Joowon turned his eyes to her. "Now that the leader of Japan has changed, their new leader, including those from the power world, hold respect and admiration towards Lili, even to the point of worshipping her. Why do you think they suddenly turned like this?"
He didn't bother saying anything else, because Taehee seemed to have reached the correct conclusion.
Oh my god! This daughter-in-law, as expected... The next time those two went somewhere, she would make sure they brought her along!
Joowon was calmed all the way. The things that Lisa had done in the ancient martial arts world had already been enough of a shock to him anyway, this was nothing that could shake his heart.
***
After Lisa and Jungkook went their separate ways, she came to Peace Manor.
She was holding a snow-white dog in her arms, followed by a colorful Jiji behind her.
"Miss Lalisa," Alang greeted when he saw her. He felt a sense of grievance towards the group of people from the ancient martial arts world at the sight of her. "Am I going to be training with Jimin and the others from now on? I should be able to help them increase their strength level by 0.5."
Though it wasn't as terrifying as tripling it, it was still terrifying if you thought about how strong the Peace Squad was in the first place.
"No." Lisa shook her head. "Don't expose your abilities right now."
"Then what am I supposed to do?" Alang asked, his eyes wide.
"The most important thing for you now is to have the ability to protect yourself. Have you forgotten your original intention?" Lisa turned towards him. "I hope that you get stronger, so that you don't drag the Peace Squad down. Your first goal now is to go and accept all the challenges from those juniors from the ancient martial arts world."
"Challenge?" Alang shrank into himself at that word, instantly terrified at the thought of fighting those scary people that he had met earlier in the day.
"Good luck." Lisa patted his shoulder. "When you're able to defeat them all, come and find me again."
"Joyner, I'm bringing you out to play." Lisa smiled at Joyner, who was standing beside her brother.
Joyner immediately ran over, grabbing Lisa's hand.
Alang, who had been worried about his own life, only asked when he saw his sister bouncing over. "Miss Lalisa, then what about my sister?"
"I'm bringing her for treatment." Lisa held Haha in one hand, and one hand held Joyner's hand. "Don't worry."
"Worry, why would I be worried!" Alang immediately waved his hands. He now finally understood a little, at Lisa's side, his sister was way safer than being by his side!
"That's good." Lisa glanced at Alang. "There's a challenger outside already, good luck." Then left after saying those words.
"Pft!" Jimin walked out from behind Alang, a knife in his hands as he laughed. "Alang, make sure you don't embarrass Peace Manor."
Alang: "..." Can you please let me die in peace?
***
Lisa took Joyner and left the ancient martial arts world, and the little pink car finally came to a stop at the gates of the medical laboratory.
"Miss Lalisa?!" It was Sorn who caught sight of her first. "Miss Lalisa, you're finally back?!"
"Yeah, how is Mr. Zhuge?" Lisa nodded her head in greeting.
Hearing her ask about the man, Sorn's straightened up, and if possible, the admiration in her eyes increased as she replied, "The young master's body is doing much better. By the looks of it, it seems that it won't be a problem to live another seven to eight years."
"It won't only be seven to eight years in the future, but many more." Lisa replied, a smile on her face.
If it was in the past, how could Sorn believe those words, believe that there was someone out there who would be able to take the life of her young master back from the claws of death? But she had witnessed the miracles that Lisa had brought, and there wasn't a single doubt towards her words, and she only nodded her head fiercely.
She and Ten finally fully comprehend the extraordinariness that was Miss Lalisa.
She could even exploit the loopholes of the heavens, what else couldn't she do?
Nichkun was reading a book, with Jackson beside him, scanning his body. He felt somebody approaching them, and he raised his head suddenly, his clear eyes meeting Lisa's. "You've found that person?"
"Yeah." Lisa nodded her head. "You seem to be in much better shape."
"It's all thanks to your exceptional medical skills." Nichkun laughed lightly.
"No, this is all thanks to Dr. Zhu." Lisa waved her hand immediately, then turned to Jackson. "By the way, there's another case here..."
Jackson, who initially didn't want to talk to Lisa at all, immediately put down the instrument in his hand, raising his head to look around. His eyes landed on Joyner, who was standing beside Lisa. "Is this the one?"
"Yep. Take her for a full body scan first, I'll give you the report a bit later. There's something else I haven't figured out yet." Lisa touched Joyner's head gently, then lowered herself to speak to her. "Joyner, will you please follow this big brother here to check your health?"
Joyner nodded her head obediently, then left with Jackson.
Lisa picked up the report that was beside Nichkun, beginning to read. This was the detailed report that Jackson had done in regards to Nichkun's health.
She flipped through the report at a fast speed. Jackson had sorted out a lot of matters, so the report was at least ten pages long, but she was done with it in ten seconds. This was the first time Nichkun and Sorn had seen her flip through documents, and like everyone else, they were stunned for a long time.
"Left hand." Lisa looked towards Nichkun once she was done with the report.
It took a moment before Nichkun came back to himself, and raised his left hand.
She quickly used her right hand to touch the pulse on his left hand. Seeing the two slender, crystal fingers on his pulse, he thought that Lisa was checking his pulse. But then he realized a moment later that it wasn't what she was doing, he could feel a warm flow coming from her fingers and spreading through his body.
"Ten, bring your young master back to rest." Seeing that Nichkun had fallen asleep, Lisa retracted her fingers.
Ten responded with an affirmative answer immediately. He, who had always only listened to Nichkun's words, now had no objection listening to Lisa's instructions. He and Sorn worked together and brought Nichkun back to rest without another word.
Lisa went back into the laboratory once the two had left, finding an unoccupied computer and started typing away.
"Miss Lalisa," Mark greeted, not believing his eyes when he saw Lisa sitting and typing at a computer.
"Dr. Mark." Lisa smiled at him. "Have you gotten used to staying here?"
Used? How could he not be? Mark's eyes lit up, this laboratory had far more beyond his imagination. Everything here was far beyond their time, even their medical equipment. He had thought the laboratories in America were already top of the world, but he didn't expect to find that it was nothing compared to the one here.
Mark suddenly understood how Jackson, who had been known to be unruly, could stay here permanently, because every day was a surprise here.
Lisa seemed to have endless amounts of matters in her mind that were futuristic, and every research that came out was shocking.
"Governor," Mark suddenly received a video call in the middle of his thoughts, and he straightened up. "This is the research report that I've sent back to America with Miss Lalisa's approval, however, I don't wish to leave this lab. Please don't force me..."
"Mr. Mark, why would I do that? If you wish to continue under Miss Lalisa, it's a blessing to our country indeed, why would we force you to leave?" The governor's expression softened. "Mr. Mark, I implore you to do your best under her. If she requires any other manpower, feel free to come back anytime to pick anyone you need. We'll always be on standby should the need arise."
Mark: "..." Miss Lalisa, what in the world have you done to these people?
After hanging up the video call, Mark looked at Lisa with a conflicted expression on his face. She was still sitting in front of the computer and typing away. The lights in the laboratory were bright, reflecting her ice complexion that resembled snow, her long eyelashes casting a faint shadow beneath her eyelids.
She seemed to have finished typing at this time, and pressed the print button. She leaned back against the chair as she waited, looking elegant and indifferent.
Mark saw a few youngsters come in, looking in her direction dreamily, and he couldn't help but laugh as he shook his head.
It was hard to imagine that so many futuristic studies and research had come from this girl in front of him that was below the age of twenty.
Lisa took out the papers from the printer once the last line was printed, tidying them up. With the thought that Jackson should be back with Joyner soon, she sat back in the seat, pulling out her phone to boot up her game while she waited.
She logged into her Weibo, which she hadn't seen for quite a while. Opening the homepage, there was a comment that had been pushed to the top by someone named Little Sun.
Little Sun: I say, you're really something else. Letting one of the most famous directors in America think about you for so long , going onto everyone else's Weibo every day just to find the goddess' Weibo
【This means that I just climbed over from Emperor Li's Weibo 】
【Climbing over from Emperor Li's Weibo +1】
【When will you have a new drama, goddess? 】
Lisa wordlessly swiped to Seokjin's Weibo to find out what was happening, and the reason all came from the latest Weibo posted by Seokjin.
(Verified) Li Seokjin: Director Neil keeps asking me to lure this person [JPEG] into 'Intergalactic Warfare 3′, what do you guys think?
The comment sections were all from great gods.
【(Verified) Cheng Zhou: This lazy thing would rather play games than take a part in my movies, I don’t want to say anything else 】
【(Verified) Song Suzy: Intergalactic Warfare 3? If I had known, I would have taken part in this movie. Who knows, I might have been able to attend the grand annual gala once again!】
【(Verified) Ning Jieun: Don’t be so rowdy, my Beauty Lisa still needs to save the world.】
【I seem to know something you guys have done 】
【My Beauty Lisa still plays games, give me your ID, Director Cheng, I promise I won’t kill you 】
【I just said that Miss Lalisa seems freer than me, her in-game quests progress is faster than mine.】
【Up there, you seem to know something, please tell us】
【Don’t need to say so much, just go into Nine Heaven’s Server 1, you’ll know when you see it 】
***
Lisa silently took a picture of her research, then a picture of the entire laboratory room, posting it on Weibo after.
(Verified) For A Millenium: Don’t say I don’t love you all [JPEG] [JPEG]
She didn’t wait for the fans’ feedback, closing Weibo immediately after. Before she quit, her eyes caught sight of another, not so popular topic.
‘Are you the only ones who think that the world has gotten stranger?’ The picture was of a strong man lifting up a car.
The topic wasn’t very popular, but Lisa could naturally see that the picture attached had not been photoshopped. Her fingers reached out, pressing on her temple as she exited Weibo.
Although she had managed to divert similar topics with her own Weibo last time, it couldn’t go on like this. She leaned back against the chair, pressing a finger against her lips. If they couldn’t find a way to resolve this, then it would definitely affect ordinary people in the future.
She took out her phone again when she thought of this, and was about to make a call when Yoongi gave her a call instead.
“Miss Lalisa.” Yoongi’s voice was calm when she answered.
Glancing around at the people in the laboratory who were busy with their own research, she walked out of the room. “What’s wrong?”
“The great elder summoned everyone in the ancient martial arts world for a meeting today,” Yoongi said, before pausing. “The local custodian of the secular world, Feng Jiu was also present today. Recently, there have been several unusual incidents happening in the secular world, and Feng Jiu…”
“I know.” Lisa leaned against the wall, squinting her eyes as she looked out into the dim light outside. “It’s time for this matter to be made public, the ancient martial arts world has been hidden for so many years, it’s time for the public to know the truth.”
After hanging up the call, Lisa sent another message to the great elder.
***
Yoongi, who was standing outside the Elders’ Pavilion: … I haven’t even finished speaking, and you already know everything? Can you please let me have some screen time too?
But at least he knew what Lisa was planning now, so he turned around and pushed the doors to enter the Elders’ Pavilion once again. The elders were all still seated, with Jungkook at the head of the table. As an ordinary person, he had sat at the other end, not speaking and just watching the developments.
Feng Jiu had not noticed Yoongi, and he was frowning at this time. “This incident has already affected the ordinary people, I’m afraid that it will cause panic among them.”
“You don’t have to explain.” Jungkook raised his head, looking at Feng Jiu with his deep, charcoal eyes. “The next disaster will be a devastating one, and at that time, the impact towards these ordinary people will be a dozen times more than now.”
His hard, cold voice echoed through the room, and Feng Jiu looked like he had been struck by lightning, looking in disbelief at Jungkook. He had initially wanted to suggest that the ancient martial arts world should be more secretive in their movements, but he didn’t expect these words to come out of Jungkook’s mouth instead, and he almost knocked over the teacup by his hands.
The great elder, who had just read the message on his phone, turned it off and looked to Feng Jiu. “How do I put this without wasting time? In the following days, these kinds of troubles will just increase. Mr. Feng Jiu, I don’t have to tell you that what Young Master Jeon says is true. China will face unprecedented disaster in the coming days.”
Feng Jiu didn’t dare to clarify with Jungkook, so he turned his attention to the great elder. “Great Elder, you’re saying that China will face unprecedented disasters?”
He looked at the indifferent expressions on everyone’s face, including the great elder. When he had first entered the ancient martial arts world, the youths of the place had been filled with smiles. He couldn’t help but ask, “You… you guys are joking, right?”
“No,” The great elder merely continued looking at Feng Jiu as he replied. “Have you seen the recent disasters in the United States and Japan? Those incidents are just the beginning.”
Feng Jiu leaned back in his chair, all air taken out of him, his heart pounding in his ribcage.
Ever since he started being the representative of the secular world in the ancient martial arts world, he had always treated these people as though they were gods. He felt that there was nothing in his world that they couldn’t do, but now they were telling him that the world was going to have unprecedented calamities?
“Great Elder, what do we do now?” One of the other elders asked. “Feng Jiu is already aware of this matter, are we going to involve the ordinary people in this too?”
The second elder shook his head. “No, if the ordinary people were to know about this, who knows how great a panic it will cause.”
There were two different opinions now, some advocated letting the ordinary people know, and the other was not.
The entire Elders Pavilion was as noisy as a fish market, and the great elder tried to calm them down by saying a few words, but to no avail. He couldn’t help but turn to Jungkook, and then his phone, a sinking expression in his eyes.
“Miss Lalisa has said it,” A quiet voice came from the corner of the room at this time. It was soft and clear, but it managed to cut through the noise, and everyone stopped talking, looking at the end of the table where the voice came from.
Yoongi was the one who had spoken, and he stood up, flashing them a smile. “This matter is to be made public.”
As soon as he said it, the entire place was a pin drop silence. The elders who had been previously arguing didn’t start again, and the second elder stood up, excitement in his eyes. “That’s right, we should reveal it to the public. I already had this thought in mind earlier!”
“I agree with what Miss Lalisa said.”
“We should indeed make it public.”
Great Elder: “…” Didn’t you guys just say that it wouldn’t be good to let the ordinary folks know about this?
The entire debate was over just because of a sentence said by an ordinary person, and Feng Jiu couldn’t help but look at the person who had spoken. No matter how he looked, Yoongi was just an ordinary person, how could his words hold so much weight?
“Second Elder, who is that young man?” Feng Jiu looked at Yoongi’s retreating back, and he couldn’t help but wonder about him. “He seems to be an ordinary person, but why did it seem like you all listened to his words?”
The second elder only smiled and said, “He is indeed an ordinary person, but he’s still the owner of Peace Manor, and this position alone is enough to have everyone in the ancient martial arts world acknowledge him.”
“Peace Manor?” Feng Jiu was surprised. What was that? “And the Miss Lalisa that he mentioned, who is she?”
“Peace Manor, a place where everyone in the ancient martial arts world is flocking to. As for Miss Lalisa..” The second elder eyed Feng Jiu. “Have you forgotten the matter in Mingzhou?”
“That Miss Lalisa?” Feng Jiu was really shocked right now. He had already known that Lisa was powerful, but he didn’t expect that he had still underestimated her. She wasn’t even present in person, yet her one word had the obedience of every elder in the ancient martial arts world.
The second elder didn’t answer his question again. “Feng Jiu, go on back first. As for the public announcement, we have our own opinions on it.”
“But, the panic… and the upper management, this unreasonable decision definitely will not pass them.” Feng Jiu managed to gather himself before he replied, hesitating slightly.
If a calamity really was coming, then announcing it to the public was definitely one of the options. But they would also be facing a mass panic across the people, and he was worried that the country would not be able to appease them enough, and it would just be a big mess.
“Don’t worry, Miss Lalisa will handle this matter.” The second elder had the utmost faith in Lisa not bothered about this bit at all.
Feng Jiu looked at the second elder in surprise. “Do you have so much trust in Miss Lalisa?”
“Have you seen,” The second elder pointed towards the youngsters of the ancient martial arts world. “These people all know about the incoming disaster, but look at their faces. Do you see any hints of panic at all?”
Feng Jiu had noticed this earlier on. He had initially thought that these youngsters weren’t aware of the impending disasters, but now that he heard the second elder’s words, he was surprised once again. Looking at them, they seem to be full of vigor, and they all exuded a cold and calm aura. None of them were in the slightest panic at the thought of what was coming.
“If we didn’t have Miss Lalisa, our ancient martial arts world would most likely be in the same state of panic.” The second patted Feng Jiu on the shoulder. “We’re not the only ones who believe in her. You should go and see the people from Japan, were they in a panic after just experiencing a devastating volcanic eruption?”
The incident in Japan was a big sensation, and even Feng Jiu was keeping updated with it. He had also recalled speaking with the higher ups, telling them that the people of Japan presented a very united front. But now that he heard the second elder’s words, there seemed to be something else that he wasn’t aware of.
As expected, the second elder continued, ” Miss Lalisa was present on the scene when the volcano erupted.”
Feng Jiu was stunned, as expected. He obviously knew that the second elder wasn’t just stating something as simple. Piecing together everything that he had said, Feng Jiu raised his head suddenly to look at the older man. “Are you saying that Japan was also something that Miss Lalisa…”
The second elder neither confirmed nor deny these words, patting him on the shoulder once again as he sent him off at the edge of the ancient martial arts world.
“What nonsense were you talking about with him? When he sees Miss Lalisa’s methods in handling matters with his own eyes, he will naturally be stunned speechless then.”
The second elder laughed lightly. “We’ve been friends for many years, so I’m trying to give him an immunity shot first. Otherwise, he might even kneel down to worship Miss Lalisa when he sees her.”
The great elder: “…”
***
After Lisa had spoken to Yoongi, she shoved her phone back in her pocket, walking back to the laboratory. Jackson had already brought Joyner back.
“By all indication, there’s nothing wrong with her,” Jackson said as he looked at the report in his hands. He raised an eyebrow as he looked to Lisa. “Or is there something that I missed?”
He obviously knew that Lisa wouldn’t be pulling his leg in this matter, but all the medical checks from the machines had come back normal, which made him surprised.
“No, everything was correct.” Lisa took the report from his hands, glancing at it before handing him the first report that she had typed out previously. “Look at this later, I’ll leave Joyner here. I’ll be busy in the next few days, so I’m leaving her in your care.”
Jackson nodded his head, resisting the urge to read through the new report in his hands right away that she had just given him. He was waiting for Lisa’s next words.
Sure enough, after glancing around the entire place, Lisa finally opened her mouth again. “Jackson, I know that everyone here has started to learn the martial arts technique, how is it going?”
“It’s going good, especially those two locals. I estimate that even a Fleet Foot martial artist from the ancient martial arts world won’t be able to beat them.” Jackson couldn’t help but eye Lisa when she raised this matter. “Are you planning to build up a force to kick the ass of those in the ancient martial arts world? With the strength of these doctors, it’s a shame that they’re only doctors at this rate. Every one of them can be considered to be a top master in the ancient martial arts world.”
Silently inside, Jackson thought that those people from the ancient martial arts world would probably feel like dying on the inside if they found out that Lisa had made a bunch of doctors master martial artists, right?
“Training these doctors into such violent masters,” Jackson couldn’t help but say after a while of thinking, “Have you ever thought of how the patients would feel?”
“That’s good, it won’t be long before our medical corps will shine then.” Lisa said instead, touching her chin thoughtfully, clearly anticipating this.
Jackson: “…” He could already imagine the consequences of releasing such a crazy group of doctors, and he silently shed some tears of sympathy for those people in the ancient martial arts world.
Those people would realize when the time came, that not only that they couldn’t compare to the ordinary folks in the Peace Manor, they couldn’t even compare to a group of doctors…
Beauty Lisa, you really wish for the world to be in chaos, don’t you?
Lisa glanced at him, a mysterious smile on her face. She then took out a new, pale pink phone and handed it to Joyner. “Joyner, you have to stay here for medical treatments for a few days. You can use this phone to video call your brother every night.”
“I understand, Sister Lisa. Don’t worry.” Joyner’s large, round eyes were fixed on Lisa as she nodded her head obediently.
“Good.” Lisa snapped her fingers, Haha and Jiji immediately appeared from whatever corner they had been at, running to her side hurriedly.
“We’ll be leaving first.” She picked up Haha in one arm, holding her phone in the other hand, seeing a text message that had just been sent over.
Mina—[Beauty Lisa, where are you?]
Lisa tapped on her phone with one hand, replying quickly—[Soon.]
Though she and Mina would often play together online and do quests together, and also contacted each other often on WeChat, it had been a long time since they met up in person.
“Haha, it’s been a while.” Mina took Haha into her arms, then glanced at Jiji who was beside Lisa. “I heard from school that you made a robot, and I still can’t believe it. Can you tell me what you can’t do, Beauty Lisa?”
“Hmm…” Lisa placed a finger on her chin, taking a sip of her coffee. “There’s nothing at the moment.”
“Pft—” Mina almost spat out the coffee that she had just drank.
She looked towards Lisa, opening her mouth as though to say something, when her phone rang in her pocket. She pulled it out and swiped the answer button, and her face drastically paled after hearing something from the other end.
Lisa put down her cup, looking at Mina. “I have a car.”
Mina didn’t expect those words from Lisa suddenly, and left together with her with her mind still preoccupied and in a dazed state.

The First Hospital.
“Grandpa, are you sure you’re alright?” A man in a black suit asked for the 362nd time. How could the two be fine when the car had been smashed into that state?
The gray-haired man didn’t speak, looking at the boy who was lying in the next bed. “Ah Zheng, I saw a purple light from your body when the accident happened.”
The boy on the bed looked back at the old man, but didn’t speak. He pulled out a silk pouch from his chest, and poured out some white powder from it.
The old man’s eyes widened. He obviously remembered that when they were walking in the morning, there had still been a complete paper crane inside the bag.
