Chapter 181: Treating the younger brother with "honesty"
As soon as Qi Yu finished speaking, he was met with an endless silence from Zhang Qiling.
Just as it thought it had overestimated human comprehension and was about to explain it to Zhang Qiling again, the calm and unwavering voice replied directly, "Agreed."
"Huh? Aww..."
Qi Yu blinked belatedly, and the next second, the system energy automatically started operating, condensing into a teardrop-shaped... 'vessel' in Zhang Qiling's sea of consciousness?
In short, the vessel was of moderate size, pointed at the top and rounded at the bottom, and contained a handful of clear water. Upon closer inspection, a miniature version of a black Qilin was swimming happily in the water...
Originally, the black unicorn seemed to be in a world of its own, its doggy-paddle swimming style making people laugh. But when it turned around, it saw Zhang Qiling with a serene and aloof expression.
Caught completely off guard, the black Qilin twitched twice in fright, then darted into the clear water, bubbles billowing from its nostrils...
Seeing this, Zhang Qiling couldn't help but reflect in his heart: what kind of constitution did he have that attracted fools?
First Yan Huai, then Qi Yu, and now Mo Qilin...
But by now, Zhang Qiling has become quite accustomed to such things. As long as she spends one more day with Yan Huai, there will be no shortage of these strange and unbelievable stories.
Sure enough, if you live long enough, even stones can become sentient; numbness is the only normal state.
"Alright! The accompanying rewards have been issued, and Qi Yu's system energy has been accumulated to a sufficient level, so it will soon return to its master's sea of consciousness."
"The past trajectory of the world cannot be changed, but after leaving the Qinling Mountains, everything will return to the normal range that the world rules can bear, including the master's bloodline, talent, and abilities that normal people cannot possess."
"Most of them will be sealed up to 50 percent, and a small portion will be completely sealed, so after tonight, you and your master will have to be careful with your actions."
"Wait, a seal?"
Zhang Qiling's furrowed brow indicated that something was amiss. Since following Yan Huai, Qi Yu had become quite experienced in dealing with human emotional fluctuations.
Before Zhang Qiling could ask any further questions, Qi Yu readily replied, "Yes, a seal."
"The master and his people's actions in this world will be restricted. In addition, the master's power that exceeds the limits of the world's rules will be sealed into the clan leader's seal, and his body will be weakened by the influence of the clan leader's seal, which means he will enter a period of weakness."
"After this period of weakness passes, the master's physical functions will recover, but the weakened part of the power cannot be restored. Therefore, the power that was originally sealed by only 40% will directly increase to 50%, or even all of it."
A muffled boom resounded in Zhang Qiling's mind, causing his fingertips to tremble involuntarily.
Suddenly, the water droplet floating in mid-air emitted white smoke, as if it were heating up to evaporate the water inside.
The black Qilin, submerged in the water, also sensed the change in water temperature. It looked down at the water level, which had dropped to its belly, completely bewildered, not knowing what was happening.
Seeing that things were not going well, Qi Yu immediately widened his eyes and jumped up and down, saying, "Don't panic! Calm down! Calm down! Even if Master's power is sealed to fifty percent, it's enough for him to deal with the dangers of this world. Besides, sealed power can be restored, so you don't need to worry about Master's future at all..."
The coaxing voices grew softer and softer. Under Zhang Qiling's icy gaze, Qi Yu finally gave up completely. It glanced at the water droplet, which was now almost empty, and shivered.
"Which ones are sealed away?"
goo-dong-
Qi Yu swallowed a non-existent saliva, silently opened Yan Huai's personal information panel, and displayed it in front of Zhang Qiling.

Zhang Qiling read it word by word, with such meticulousness that it was comparable to Yan Huai standing naked in front of him.
Qi Yu witnessed this and felt a strange and awkward sense of shame.
Fortunately, Zhang Qiling wasn't too reluctant to leave. After reading it, Qi Yu put the information panel away.
After a few seconds of silence, Zhang Qiling's gaze swept over the ink unicorn in the water droplet container, then landed on Qi Yu, who was sitting upright like a primary school student, and slowly said, "Keep it a secret."
If Yan Huai doesn't want to tell him, then he'll know nothing...
"Also, take Yan Huai's spiritual power back with you."
The moment Qi Yu looked up and met Zhang Qiling's gaze, they understood each other perfectly. It nodded firmly and then soared into the air with a whoosh.
The white fleshy mass spread out and quickly, with the help of the system's energy, enveloped the spiritual power that Yan Huai had previously stored in Zhang Qiling's sea of consciousness. Moreover, it also rushed back into Yan Huai's sea of consciousness along the bond of shared destiny, as if it dared not linger for long.
So, all that remained was the water droplet container and Zhang Qiling, standing there dumbfounded...
Zhang Qiling felt a sudden emptiness in his mind. He tried his best to ignore the sense of loss in his heart, and took a small step to the water droplet container.
The unusually long finger stroked along the almost transparent shape of the teardrop-shaped vessel, unconsciously carrying a gentle yet helpless meaning.
When will Yan Huai realize that he doesn't have to shoulder everything alone, that he has people he can rely on, like Zhang Qiling, whom he doesn't need to treat like a fragile object...
Perhaps the ink-black Qilin in the water droplet heard what Zhang Qiling was thinking, for the little creature suddenly leaped out of the nearly empty water and pounced right in front of him, with the outcome being predictable.
With a loud "Pia!", the black Qilin's head slammed into the teardrop-shaped container...
Zhang Qiling silently watched the black unicorn slide off the vessel and lie sprawled in the clear water. He felt that not only had the emotions that had risen in his heart been completely dispelled, but even his eyes involuntarily wanted to roll upwards.
Fearing he would catch the idiocy, he left only a faint sigh before returning his consciousness to the outside world.
Meanwhile, dappled light and shadow appeared in the banyan grove... It was dawn.
