“I was lucky enough to break through.” Feng Yin answered Mu Yumo’s question in a low-key manner.

“There’s no such thing as luck. You don’t have to worry about being framed if you’re too talented.” Mu Yumo shook her head, not quite agreeing with Feng Yin’s answer. The path of a martial artist was bound to take one step at a time. Perhaps there would be some opportunities within.

However, no matter how many opportunities there were, they were still his. Now that martial arts had developed very well, geniuses could display their talents to their heart’s content without worrying about being persecuted or squeezed by others.

Mu Yumo had made this clear to Feng Yin because she wanted to tell him that he could directly report his strength to the school and obtain more resources. Why should he be afraid?

Martial arts had developed for nearly a thousand years. These years had been advancing forward.

Feng Yin also understood this problem. However, Langya Base City was still a little too small. Feng Yin did not know the details of the matter and thought that there would be a suppression in a larger base city.

Now that he heard Mu Yumo’s words, Feng Yin understood that he was thinking too much.

After confirming the attitude of the Nine Provinces Federation towards geniuses, Feng Yin felt that he could display his genius in certain places. However, there was something more important at the moment. “Senior, I asked you out this time because I have something to ask you.”

“Go ahead.” Mu Yumo bit the milk tea straw that the waiter had just served and gestured for Feng Yin to speak.

Feng Yin organized his thoughts before speaking. “A few days ago, I felt a malicious gaze outside the school. When I turned around, I didn’t see anything. When I returned home later, I often sensed that someone was following me. But when I looked carefully again, I didn’t see anything.

“I have the ability to protect myself now. I’m not afraid of others harming me. It’s mainly my parents and sister. In terms of accommodation, I chose the safest place I could buy, but my parents and sister still have to go to work and school.

“They can’t just do nothing because of a feeling I have. Besides, there’s still some time before we move into the house I bought. I wonder what else I can do in the face of such a situation?”

“Do you want to ask me how to protect your parents and sister, or do you want to protect you as well?” Mu Yumo thought for a moment and asked.

“What’s the difference?” Feng Yin did not understand the meaning behind Mu Yumo’s question. After asking, he still voiced out his thoughts. “In my heart, I only want to find someone to protect my parents and sister.”

“Sure, you have the ambition of a martial artist.” After hearing Feng Yin’s words, Mu Yumo took a big gulp of milk tea and explained for him. “You’re a genius. Your talent far exceeds my expectations, but it’s also because of this that I hope you’re not a coward.

“The fact that you discovered that person’s tracking means that that person is at least a Martial Master and not a Grandmaster. Perhaps in actual combat, you’re not his match. I think with your current strength, if you can’t beat him, you can still escape.”

Before Mu Yumo could finish speaking, Feng Yin had already understood what she meant. “Senior, are you saying that you want me to use this person who’s trying to kill me to train my combat skills?”

“Yes.” Mu Yumo nodded. “Of course, it’s not just that. After listening to you just now, I feel that you’re not someone who will let your enemies roam freely outside. If you want the enemy to pay the price, you have to know who the real enemy is, right?”

“That’s right.” Feng Yin nodded, confirming Mu Yumo’s words. He indeed had this thought. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have chosen poison at the beginning. There was no more suitable poison later on, so he chose the one that paralyzed the other party.

“In that case, I suggest you do it yourself. To put it bluntly, as long as you confirm your level of genius, you will enjoy the right to kill, not to mention in Langya Base City, even in a sky-level base city.”

Mu Yumo looked at Feng Yin and slowly dropped a piece of news that was considered a bomb to ordinary people. One had to know that the base city’s propaganda had always been to severely punish criminals, especially martial artists.

Now, Mu Yumo was telling Feng Yin that if he was a genius, he would be able to enjoy the lawful right to kill in the base city. This had truly shattered all of Feng Yin’s previous worldview.

Mu Yumo seemed to have noticed Feng Yin’s shock and explained with a smile, “Do you find it unbelievable?”

“What if the genius who enjoys this right is a murderer? To be honest, I was indeed in disbelief when I first heard about it. Later on, I thought that since the Nine Provinces Federation has implemented this strategy, they should have a corresponding strategy.” Feng Yin nodded and answered straightforwardly.

“Sigh, I really want to pull you to Changzhou Martial Arts Academy more and more!” Mu Yumo sighed and nodded. “You’re right. The Nine Provinces Federation has indeed made a corresponding strategy for this.

“Geniuses have the right to kill, but after they kill someone, they have to have sufficient reasons. After you are confirmed as a genius, you will have different privileges according to your level. I can’t tell you much about this.

“Speaking of genius level, I have to tell you something. You can expose your genius, but your talent and your genius level can’t be exposed. Not even to your family.”

Mu Yumo spoke solemnly, and Feng Yin could also sense two types of solemnity from her words. He nodded solemnly to show that he understood. Feng Yin then looked at Mu Yumo and asked about the reason why he was looking for her this time. “Senior, you haven’t said how to resolve it.”

“Ah! I’ve gone too far!” Mu Yumo was stunned. She thought about Feng Yin’s first question and realized that she had forgotten the first question as soon as they started chatting.

“My method is actually very simple. Go to school and look for your form teacher directly. Tell her about your advancement to the Martial Master Realm and tell her about your ability to refine pills.

“The Federation will probably send someone over to check if you can really refine pills. It’s just that Langya Base City is too small. There’s not even a branch of the Alchemy Association that can verify alchemists. Why don’t you go straight to the Alchemist Association? That’s the faster way.”

As she spoke, Mu Yumo, who realized that she had gone off topic again, hurriedly brought the topic back. “A genius like you is much stronger than I was back then. Langya Base City will definitely value you greatly. At that time, you can just say that you want the Federation’s Public Security Bureau to send someone to protect your family.”

“What if they ask me why I need someone to protect my family? If I tell them the truth, will they agree that I’m in a dangerous situation?” Feng Yin thought for a moment and continued to ask.
