The day after finishing the call with Wang Lingyu, Sasa took a bus back to Lingquan City and went to Wang Lingyu's home to wait.

Currently, Lingquan City was not a suitable place to discuss Yan Luo's affairs publicly, because what he did that day was extremely atrocious. No media, whether live or rebroadcast, reacted in time before broadcasting the scene of Yan Luo smashing She Wuyou's head with a slap.

Even though initially only people in Lingquan City paid attention to the matter, within half a day, everyone on Blue Star knew that Yan Luo had committed murder in public.

Many people said Yan Luo was a good person who only killed bad people. Although She Wuyou was acquitted, it didn't seem like he was innocent in any regard.

Some dug out the court trial video of She Wuyou, analyzing through micro-expressions that She Wuyou was the true criminal while She Wulu was merely a scapegoat.

However, none of this helped.

Yan Luo's crime was set in stone the moment he committed murder in public, making it nearly impossible to overturn the case.

Since Sasa was coming, Wang Lingyu took a day off to stay at home and wait with Sasa for her mom to return from work.

It's inconvenient to discuss Yan Luo in public places, but private residences are perfectly fine for it.

In the evening, the door of the approximately two-hundred-square-meter apartment opened, and Wang Lingyu's mother, Min Jinglan, removed her high heels at the foyer, handed her work bag to the family service robot, and walked into the home.

Hearing the footsteps, Sasa and Wang Lingyu both looked over.

Min Jinglan, forty-three this year, had a delicate appearance, a beauty mark at the corner of her lips, and her curvy, plump body was wrapped in a black suit. Her full head of black hair, with no trace of white, was styled into a bun with a hairpin adorned with dangling tassels that swayed gently with her steps.

——A type that made certain groups want to call her 'mom' the moment they saw her.

Sasa stood up, bowed, and greeted, "Hello, Aunt."

"Sit."

Min Jinglan sat down on a single-seater sofa, crossed her legs, and looked at Sasa, "Has that kid Yan Luo asked you to bring a message to me?"

Sasa gave a polite smile and nodded, "Yes, he has something he wants to say to you."

"No one visits a temple for no reason." Min Jinglan shook her head and lazily yawned, "Go ahead, what message did he have you bring?"

Instead of speaking directly, Sasa projected a video.

[Aunt Min, long time no see. I won't bore you with pleasantries, so I'll get straight to the point——I've found out who killed my parents back then. It's the Abyssal Believers, a group of crazed followers of the Abyss. Now, I want to deal with them and have formed an alliance with some people. I hope to leverage your connections to help our alliance establish relations with the council.]

In the video, Yan Luo, still with his straightforward manner, made Wang Lingyu worry, her toes curling inside her slippers uncontrollably.

Min Jinglan was also quite speechless, not expecting Yan Luo to be so unapologetically blunt.

But the Yan Luo in the video wasn't done yet; he held up a piece of Jade, introducing, [This piece of Jade is something left by our ancestors, capable of opening a space-time portal to another world within the Abyss. Now we plan to use this portal to trade with the Elf World on the other side. We've already reached preliminary business intentions and consensus with them, and will soon officially commence trade.]

[The Abyssal Believers are in such a hurry to deal with me, even sending people to attack me, all because of this object.]

While speaking, Yan Luo also inserted a Magic Crystal into the Jade, opening a space-time portal as a demonstration to add credibility to his words.

Min Jinglan and Wang Lingyu were both stunned, staring blankly at the video recorded by Yan Luo.

Then, Yan Luo said, [I've entrusted Sasa to represent me fully in the discussions related to this cooperation. I hope you understand why I can't appear in person.]

The video recorded by Yan Luo ended, leaving Min Jinglan silent for a long time.

After a while, Min Jinglan finally regained her composure, exhaling a long sigh with a complex look directed at Sasa.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Min Jinglan asked.

Sasa pursed her lips into a smile, "Actually, what I intend to discuss with you has already been mentioned by Yan Luo in the video. We intend to leverage your connections to approach the council and find a way to eradicate the Abyssal Believers from this city, and in turn, bring prosperity to Lingquan City."

"Yan Luo and I personally visited the Elf World for field research. Their market has great potential, and the vast majority of the product samples we brought were highly welcomed. As long as we can sustain the business, we'll have access to an entire world market. Besides, Yan Luo also wishes to 'bribe' you a little."

At this, Sasa took out a refrigerated can from her bag, then opened it to reveal two vials of blood and two vials of bone marrow.

"These are byproducts from studying Yan Luo's physique. The liquid that looks like blood here can grant the ability to automatically absorb Magic Power when consumed, while the latter is even more remarkable, enhancing one's magic adaptability."

Min Jinglan and Wang Lingyu were at a loss for what this implied, staring confusedly at Sasa.

Sasa contemplated and said, "To put it this way, with the use of these two things, you could enhance your Engraving even without entering the Abyss, gradually leveling up. Low magic adaptability wouldn't be a problem, as this bone... liquid can resolve it."

Hearing that one could enhance Engraving without entering the Abyss, Min Jinglan finally realized just how extraordinary these two items were.

It's widely known that self-engraving can only be enhanced by hunting demons, aside from using Magic Crystals in a forced sequence uplift, a deviant approach. There is no third method available on the market.

If Sasa's words were true, the two items could surely turn the world on its head.

Sasa knew what Min Jinglan was thinking and said, "The raw materials for these two items need to be obtained from Yan Luo, and I haven't discovered any substitutes so far, so mass production is impossible. This is the wealth we intend to 'bribe' you with, hoping you like and accept them, and cooperate with us."

Upon hearing this, Wang Lingyu was somewhat surprised.

Sasa, senior sister, why do you sound so much like Yan Luo?

"Engraving... you say?"

Looking at the two 'suites' placed on the table by Sasa, Min Jinglan fell silent.

Her husband had long been deceased, so those two items were meant for her and Lingyu.

"...Where did that youngster learn all this?"

Ultimately, Min Jinglan lowered her gaze, leaning back against the sofa, her hands intertwined, resting on her voluptuous thighs.

Currently, Engraving was quite popular among the upper class, and many older officials had gone through it to keep pace with the trend.

Some succeeded, while others failed, not only failing to keep up with the trend but also ending up crippled.

Engraving was not suited for everyone; it was not a toy, but a dangerous weapon.

Yet, precisely because it was a legally carryable weapon, many people desired to have it within their grasp.

Min Jinglan had never considered getting Engraving; first, she was getting on in years, and second, her magic adaptability was poor. Forcing Engraving could likely result in injury.

Nonetheless, with these two items sent by Sasa, she thought perhaps she could give it a try.

"You want me to help you make connections with the council, but are you aware of how many Abyssal Believers are within the council? Working with them is essentially cooperating with your enemies."

Min Jinglan cautioned Sasa.

Sasa, however, was unimpressed.

"Ms. Min, we have already begun taking action, sweeping through the Abyssal Believers within the city. Once we remove all the high-ranking Abyssal Believers here, the remaining low-ranking ones are trivial because they can't stir up any trouble."

Sasa grinned, yet it was like a venomous snake spewing venom at prey, "She Wuyou and She Wuliang have lost control over the Abyssal Believers. Next, we intend to take on the She Family. Once the She Family is dealt with, the remaining Abyssal Believers will be insignificant."

Min Jinglan gave Sasa a profound look and chuckled softly.

"For Yan Luo's sake, I'll trust you this time!"
