Chapter 113 Dizziness, Yesterday I casually said

  Leaving the Emperor Hotel without letting the Qi family see him off, walking on Linzhou Street, Xu Yu thought for a moment and directly dialed Lin Yan's phone.

  Although it's still early in the day, during winter time, dawn breaks late, and this hour isn't considered early.

  On the other side, Lin Yan, after actively answering Xu Yu's phone call, could clearly hear his emotional tone, which was extremely excited. Facing Xu Yu's request to collect the top-grade innate five-elemental martial skills, Lin Yan immediately patted his chest and agreed, promising to deliver them to Xu Yu at the fastest speed possible.

  It wasn't long before Lin Zhongji arrived at the agreed location with Xu Yu, respectfully taking out two books of martial arts secrets. "Mr. Xu, this is my family's Lin-style, Golden System martial art, and this other one is the Azure Sea Decision, a Water System martial art."

  Holding two ancient books, Lin Zhongzhir explained one by one, and then said "Now there are only these two yellow-level martial skills in the family, and for the other three elements of earth, fire, and wood, Father has ordered to collect them with all his might, I believe it will be completed soon."

  The fifth-grade Di Huang secret book is quite different from the Tian Xuan secret book, and there is no such eerie space that captures people's hearts. However, it also has pictures and text annotations.

  Even if these were just static pictures, they were enough for Xu Yu, otherwise he wouldn't have directly startled the Lin family.

  He took over two secret books and flipped through them casually. Only then did Xu Yu nod with a smile, "En, thank you on my behalf to Old Man Lin."

  He then headed in the direction of the Municipal Bureau of Economy and Trade. Now, it's already Monday again, and it's time to go back to work as usual. However, as he walked, Xǔ Yú's thoughts gradually became more active. For him now, was this job at the Bureau of Economy and Trade still necessary?

  If he were the former Xu Yu, ordinary and unremarkable, wanting to prove to Xu Chong that he was capable, then working in an official position would be a good choice. But now, this idle job has lost all meaning for him.

  Even before, he had thought about quitting, but at that time, if he quit, he would definitely let his mother's good friend Zhu Deputy Director know, and then she would definitely inform his mother. In order not to worry his mother, he continued to stay there. But now, after the last incident, even several big shots from the province have such an attitude towards him, I'm afraid that if he really quits, his mother won't say much either?

  The idea of resigning, once it emerged, made Xuyu's mood difficult to calm down, and she stood at the intersection of the street, lost in thought.

  Although this thing seems simple, but if you really go and do it, there is another kind of meaning.

  As long as he remains in the Ministry of Trade, it means that he is still closely connected to this ordinary world. Once he resigns from this position, it almost indicates that from then on, he will wholeheartedly pursue the limits of martial arts and the Taoist way, heading towards the kind of world he has always yearned for.

  "When it's time to let go, then let go. This mundane world, there aren't many things that make me want to stay. Ordinary people work, just for the sake of making a living, or seeking a happy family, or maybe just for wealth and power. Few people can truly fight for their ideals their whole life. Is it a mediocre life?... After thinking about it some more, Xu Yu finally made up his mind, this job is still going to be quit. There are some things that need to be explained to mother and Zhang Yan too, but how to explain them, he hasn't thought of yet."

  Once he made up his mind, Xu Yu strode towards the Ministry of Economic Trade with an even more carefree air.

  Upon arriving at the Bureau of Foreign Trade, looking at the familiar faces in the Comprehensive Section, Xu Yu suddenly felt a hint of emotion. He smiled and greeted others before walking back to his own desk, where he filled out an application form. Then, he headed towards Yang Jianming's office. In fact, if he had just informed Lin Jia about his resignation, there would have been no need for him to appear again. However, it seemed too much trouble to bother Lin Jia with such a trivial matter. "Come in!"

  In the office of Director Yang, a knock on the door was heard. Yang Jianming, who was savoring a cup of tea without lifting his head, spoke up. Following this, Xu Yu stepped into the office, "Director Yang, good morning." "Little Xu, haha, is everything done?" As soon as he saw that it was Xu Yu who had entered, a hint of surprise flashed across Yang Jianming's face, but he quickly smiled again. Last week, Xu Yu suddenly disappeared without his knowledge as the director.

  Later he even forgot who told him that the other party was taking a leave of absence, so Yang Jianming wondered, who did Xu Yu ask for leave?

  The problem is that even if he asked the entire comprehensive department, no one knew who Xu Yu had asked for leave and who had approved it.

  Also because of this matter, Yang Jianming himself had been holding back a lot of fire. Even if Xu Yu had Director Zhu on his side, he couldn't be so reckless. However, the other party's request was strange to this extent, and he was somewhat intimidated. So even though he was in a bad mood, his face still looked very friendly. "En, thank you for your concern, Yang Ke." Xu Yu smiled and replied, then said "I'm here to resign today." In an instant, Yang Jianming was stunned - Resign?

  Government official resigned, just resigned, not casually jumping to other departments. Is this Xu Yu really not going to be a government official anymore? But after being stunned, he immediately looked at the application form in Xu Yu's hand and was secretly delighted. If Xu Yu really didn't want to do it, he would absolutely not stop him. After all, who wants someone under their command who can't be ordered around? However, despite his delight, Yang Jianming turned serious and began to persuade, chatting with Xu Yu for a while. Seeing that Xu Yu's decision to resign was firm, Yang Jianming helplessly said, "Alright then, I've said what needed to be said. Leave your application form here, I'll submit it to the relevant department for you. Just wait for news."

  "Alright." Xǔ Yú smiled and nodded, putting down the application form, then headed out.

  Even if a civil servant resigns, it takes about a month to get approval. During this time, even if you are waiting for the approval, you cannot leave your post without permission. Xu Yu was clear about this, so after walking out of the office, he sat back in his own seat.

  However, he was also absolutely clear that the time he waited would not be a month. Unexpectedly, Yang Jianming would soon tell Deputy Director Zhu about this matter, and then his mother.

  When the time comes, as long as it is clearly explained to his mother, Deputy Director Zhu will definitely lend a hand and it should be settled soon.

  As soon as he thought of this, Xu Yu couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic for this office environment, and put aside other things, quietly watching others do their own things, which was quite interesting.

  But the fact did not exceed his expectations, and it was only a few dozen minutes later that Xu's mother called, having already had psychological preparation, although on the phone, he could not be named, but Xu Yu quickly comforted the other party's doubts and surprises.

  This is also thanks to the appearance of Lin Zhong and others last time, which made Mrs. Xu realize that with Xu Yu's current ability, even if she doesn't work as a civil servant, she can still achieve something in any other field, so she would accept it so easily.

  After hanging up his mother's phone call, it wasn't until another hour or two that Deputy Director Zhu's phone call came again, saying that his resignation application had been approved.

  Xu Yu finally relaxed completely and bid farewell to his former colleagues at the Bureau of Foreign Trade, before leaving the place once again.

  Just as he walked out of the Ministry of Economic and Trade, a familiar ringing sound came again. When Xu Yu took out his phone to look at the number, it turned out to be Lin Yan.

  "Mr. Xu, I spread the news about collecting the Five Elements' innate martial skills this morning, and the Feng family contacted us proactively, saying they have wood and earth system techniques for sale to me. I don't know, sir, if you want them?" Lin Yan's voice came through the phone with a hint of caution. The words made Xu Yu slightly stunned. The Feng family must have guessed that the Lin family was collecting secret manuals, and it might be related to him, otherwise they wouldn't be so willing to sell so quickly.

  But I think they're just guessing, otherwise they would have already made a move, just like last time with the Heaven-Defying Scripture. After thinking for a moment, Xu Yu smiled and nodded "Then let's buy it."

  "Alright, I know what to do now. At the latest tomorrow, those two martial skills manuals can be obtained." Lin Yan's voice finally relaxed and he even smiled, saying "Now it's just a matter of one more fire-type secret manual, I'll definitely get it as soon as possible and give it to Mr. Xu." "En..." Xu Yu nodded again and chatted with Lin Yan for a few more sentences before hanging up the phone.

  But before he could put the phone in his pocket, another call came in. He was slightly startled and looked again to see that it was Li Honghui.

  "Haha, Brother Xu, I heard that someone in Linzhou is collecting the Five Elements' innate martial skills. Could it be that you're behind this?" Li Hongyan's voice was loud and clear, but his tone carried a hint of doubt.

  Although he did not know the relationship between Lin's family and Xu Yu, after all, it was still a short time since both sides had contact, and the main force of Qi's family was in Australia, they also dared not to investigate Xu Yu privately.

  But thinking about it, a terrifying figure like Xu Yu would definitely have some power in Linzhou even without the Mountain Gate. Yesterday, he had just mentioned to Xu Yu that if he could cultivate the Five Elements Primordial Martial Technique, grasp the true essence, and let the five elements merge as one, there was a great hope of breaking through the bottleneck. Today, someone from the local martial arts world collected the Five Elements Secret Manual, which seemed too coincidental. So he couldn't help but be curious and called to ask. Also following Li Honghui's words, Xu Yu directly smiled "Yes, I also want to thank Brother Li, if it wasn't for your reminder, I wouldn't have known about this method." This wasn't something that needed to be hidden, after all, he still acknowledged the other party's favor.

  But unexpectedly, just one sentence, Li Honghui's smile on the opposite side came to an abrupt halt. "Eh... Brother Xu, you really want to collect the Five Elements Secret Recipe? Try to cultivate it and then merge the five elements? Are you kidding me? I was just casually saying that yesterday..."

  Li Honghui was stunned. This Xu Yu, even if his cultivation was terrifying and the golden martial skills he mastered were said to be powerful, but he actually still wanted to study the true essence of the other four systems? Are you kidding me? If he cultivates the other four systems again, it's wrong. Last time, the opponent used the Tianxuan Martial Skills, now he is collecting the Dihuang Martial Skills.

  Different levels of martial arts, can't be combined into one, after all, if one of the five elements is too strong, how can they be perfectly combined? Isn't that saying he needs to start over and cultivate again from scratch? Just comprehending the true essence would take many years... Li Honghui was really dizzy at this point. And also had some resentment towards his own big mouth yesterday!!

  Finally finished the second update, it's been a struggle all afternoon, whether to quit or not, sweat... Quitting or not quitting also affects the plot development later on, really hard to decide, but in the end, I made up my mind and quit! Once the decision was made, writing sped up, finally finished this second chapter, starving and tired, going to eat first, after coming back, will try to rush out another chapter. Today's votes are too soft...
