Super Gene Hunting Ground

Yes, we need to change the approach to find Yang Xiao. I’ve been asking about Yang Xiao’s relationships these days and got some valuable information. For example, Xiao Ling’s relationship with Yang Xiao is quite unusual, and there’s a girl named Yelu Caiyun, also a big beauty, who is reportedly quite ambiguous with Yang Xiao too.”

Upon hearing this, Ding Huo immediately said unhappily:

”Damn, why do all the beauties hope for Yang Xiao, this brat? Does he really have that much charm?”

”Hey, second brother, don’t interrupt. Listen to what the third brother has to say.”

”There are also several of Yang Xiao’s friends named Gao Lou, Chen Cangshan, and others. I think, although Yang Xiao is currently hiding, he’ll definitely contact these friends occasionally, right?

Instead of blindly searching everywhere, it’d be better to track Yang Xiao’s friends. Maybe we’ll be able to find clues about Yang Xiao from them.”

The boss, Ding Feng, slapped his round, chubby forehead and said:

”Yes, third brother, your idea is spot on. Why didn’t I think of it?”

”Boss, you’ve been eating so much these days. I guess it’s all too greasy and made your thinking a bit sluggish?”

Ding Huo laughed.

Ding Feng chuckled:

”The cafeteria food at Flying Leopard Academy is good, cheap, and besides, since the Qin family gave us so much money, shouldn’t we spend more and eat more to reward our hard work and efforts?”

”Boss, I beg you, stop bragging and be serious, okay?”

Third brother Ding Lun laughed.

”Alright, let’s do this. From now on, let’s divide our tasks. I’ll follow Mentor Xiao Ling, second brother will track Yelu Caiyun, and third brother will follow Yang Xiao’s friends like Gao Lou, Chen Cangshan, and others.”

”Boss, let me switch with you. I’ll track Mentor Xiao Ling.”

”Second brother, this is work. You absolutely cannot screw up. Flying Leopard Academy is not a place for you to fool around. Our goal is to find Yang Xiao, secretly kill him, and then secretly leave the academy. The remaining matters will be left to the Qin family to handle, understand?”

Ding Huo and Ding Lun nodded.

...

Ding Feng started his surveillance on Xiao Ling today.

Strictly comparing, Ding Feng’s Genetic Evolution Level is slightly higher than Xiao Ling’s.

Xiao Ling entered the Empire Level Realm not long ago, while Ding Feng’s Four Attributes have all reached 105 points, 3-4 points higher than Xiao Ling.

Therefore, tracking Xiao Ling was basically not difficult for Ding Feng and he was unlikely to be discovered.

Yang Xiao told Xiao Ling today that he has something to do tonight, wouldn’t be coming back to sleep, and asked her not to wait.

Xiao Ling sat alone in the room reading a book and around eleven-thirty, habitually glanced at the clock on the wall. She thought for a moment and couldn’t help but walk out of the room.

She still wanted to check on Yang Xiao and bring him some late-night snacks.

When a woman wholeheartedly loves a man, he is always on her mind.

Xiao Ling walked out of the mentor’s dormitory building, left the community, and was immediately noticed by Ding Feng sitting on a nearby stone bench.

Once Xiao Ling passed by, Ding Feng emerged from the distant darkness, quietly following her at about a hundred meters distance.

Xiao Ling entered the cafeteria to buy some snacks.

Ding Feng stood at the entrance watching from afar. As Xiao Ling left with a food box, Ding Feng felt a surge of joy.

”Finally caught you buying snacks late at night. It’s obviously not for herself but for someone else, surely for Yang Xiao.”

Ding Feng was a bit excited, following Xiao Ling from afar until they arrived at the library.

Ding Feng became even more thrilled.

He had heard that Yang Xiao was a book lover and had been spending almost every day in the library since entering Flying Leopard Academy. Now with Xiao Ling bringing snacks to the library, it confirmed that Yang Xiao was hiding there.

”Smart move hiding in the library, perfect for a hideout while also allowing study, plus under the academy’s tight protection. Yang Xiao indeed is a smart one.”

Observing Xiao Ling swiping her card to enter the library, Ding Feng hurried over to swipe his card and enter too.

At this time, there were still a dozen people reading on the library’s first floor. Xiao Ling entered inside, searched around but didn’t see Yang Xiao, then decided to sit at an empty table and flip through a book randomly.

From afar, Ding Feng picked an empty table too, grabbed a few books, using reading as cover while keeping an eye on Xiao Ling.

Time slowly passed and soon it was past midnight; the lingering dozen people also gradually left the library.

Leaving behind only Ding Feng and Xiao Ling, separated by more than a dozen tables.

”Strange, why hasn’t Yang Xiao shown up yet?”

Xiao Ling muttered.

After waiting another half hour, Yang Xiao still didn’t appear.

Xiao Ling hesitated, picked up the food box, and walked out of the reading room.

Ding Feng quickly shifted his posture, using a book to cover himself to avoid being recognized by Xiao Ling.

Luckily, Xiao Ling had her mind full of thoughts about Yang Xiao and didn’t pay attention to Ding Feng, walking past him like a breeze.

Once Xiao Ling exited the reading room, Ding Feng rose immediately and followed her.

Yang Xiao had long since made his relationship with Xiao Ling public in front of Elder Ye, and while having snacks, Elder Ye had joined them for drinks and chats several times. Xiao Ling also knew Yang Xiao stayed in the library’s back courtyard.

Xiao Ling carried the food box to the backyard, and through the light screen door, saw Elder Ye sleeping beneath a large tree inside.

Xiao Ling pressed the doorbell, and the old man slightly opened his eyes. Seeing Xiao Ling with a food box, he immediately smiled.

The old man waved his hand, opening a slit in the Defense Light Screen door.

”Girl, you’re here.”

”Elder Ye, I brought you some snacks.”

”Haha, such sweet words. When the old man lived here alone before, you never brought me any snacks.”

”We weren’t familiar before. From now on, I could bring you snacks every day and treat you like my grandfather.”

In reality, Elder Ye was over a hundred years older than Xiao Ling, old enough to be her great-grandfather’s grandfather.

Elder Ye chuckled.

Xiao Ling placed the food box on a stone table in front of him, opened it, presenting several dishes and a pot of wine.

The old man eagerly grabbed some meat to eat and gulped down some wine, repeatedly exclaiming:

”Delicious, delicious. Damn, when I was young, why didn’t I have the luck of someone bringing me snacks every day?”

Xiao Ling faintly smiled and asked:

”Elder Ye, where’s Yang Xiao?”

Elder Ye pointed his finger towards the rear courtyard, saying,

”He’s in the back room cultivating. Go check him yourself.”

Xiao Ling hurried to the rear, entered the said room, switched on the light, and saw Yang Xiao lying on the bed, joking:

”Lazybones, already sleeping? I brought you snacks. Do you want some?”

Yang Xiao naturally did not respond.

Xiao Ling ran over and glanced at him,

”Still pretending to sleep? Watch how I take care of you.”

She reached out to tickle Yang Xiao a few times.

Yang Xiao remained unresponsive.

Xiao Ling suddenly sensed something was wrong, touched Yang Xiao’s forehead, then checked his breathing, suddenly turning pale, screamed as she ran from the room.

”Elder Ye, Elder Ye, Yang Xiao, Yang Xiao,”

”What’s the matter?”

”Please go and see, he—”

Xiao Ling was too tense to speak coherently.

Elder Ye feigned surprise, quickly rushed over, dashed into the room, checked Yang Xiao, then furrowed his brows.

”Elder Ye, how is Yang Xiao?”

Elder Ye sighed deeply,

”Alas, it’s over. This kid didn’t listen to me, insisted on cultivating the Life and Death Iteration Law, and now look, killed himself.”

”Ah?”

Xiao Ling exclaimed, feeling her mind go blank.
