Lin Yu wasn't surprised at all that his identity had been exposed.
Although he had been extremely cautious, the Qin family's influence was too vast, reaching from the Cardinal's Court and various ministries down to every province, with their people everywhere.
The Qin family had been tracking him for over a decade, and only now had they finally confirmed his whereabouts.
It was a testament to his skills in hiding.
But Lin Feng couldn't hear the rest of what Lin Yu was saying, as his mind was consumed by one thought.
The Thousand Waves Guild was also part of the Qin family!?
Lin Feng knew that Su Ke Qing had signed with Jia Shi Entertainment, a subsidiary of the Thousand Waves Guild, and the CEO of Jia Shi Entertainment was the Guild's junior Vice President.
Two days ago, Su Ke Qing had been called out to entertain, to welcome the Qin family's eldest son!
The man who had forced Su Ke Qing, was Qin Xian!!!
Lin Feng's eyes turned bloodshot.
Qin Xian!!!
Qin Xian had interfered with his Awakening Ceremony, causing his failed transformation, and then he had forced his goddess, Su Ke Qing.
He had ruined Lin Feng's future and stolen his beloved!
At that moment, Lin Feng's heart was filled with hatred and resentment for Qin Xian, his eyes blazing with murderous intent!
Even his body began to emanate a distorted, evil aura of the Void!
Seeing Lin Feng's state of mind, Lin Yu frowned, placing his hand on Lin Feng's shoulder, a wave of clear energy surging forth, calming his anger and murderous intent.
“Calm down!”
Lin Yu said sharply, pulling Lin Feng back from the edge of madness.
Lin Yu sighed lightly, glancing deeply at Lin Feng: “I don't know if it was right to give you the Secret Source.”
Secret Sources were powerful and mysterious, but they were ultimately from the Void.
The Void, it symbolized madness and distortion.
Over the years, Lin Yu had studied the Secret Sources, and had been shocked by their ability to affect one's mind.
He had taken Lin Feng in because, as a child, Lin Feng had shown a high resistance and composure to the Void's influence.
But now it seemed that when Lin Feng got emotional, he was still susceptible to the Secret Source's influence.
Lin Feng took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down….
Seeing the worry in his foster father's eyes, Lin Feng's face hardened, and he said resolutely: "I'm fine, I can hold it together."
He couldn't help but ask, “So why isn’t the Qin family making a move?”
Lin Yu said calmly: “There are two reasons. One is that the College Entrance Exam is coming up soon, and the exams are far more important than the Awakening Ceremony.
The whole country is watching, even the Qin family wouldn’t want to make a big fuss during the exams…
The other reason is that the Qin family also doesn’t want to expose the existence of Secret Sources!”
Lin Yu's face broke into a sarcastic smile: “In the eyes of the Qin family, we are just two ants.
But it’s precisely because we’re ants that the Qin family is hesitant...
If things get out of hand, if the Secret Sources are exposed, the Qin family might be fine.
But the Imperial Government and other forces will not stand idly by and allow the Qin family to monopolize the Secret Sources.”
Then he looked at Lin Feng, and said gravely, “Tomorrow is the College Entrance Exam, and all the academies across the country will send representatives to assess the students.
This is our only chance!
The three Imperial Academies, the Imperial Academy, the True Dragon Academy, and the Jixia Academy.
You must get into the Jixia Academy. It may not be the strongest of the three, but it’s the most in-depth in studying the Void.
Once you're at the Jixia Academy, you can study the Void's power, and find an opportunity to journey into the depths of the Void, to find the Emperor!
Also, the Jixia Academy is highly independent, the Qin family can't reach their hands into it.
Becoming a student of the Jixia Academy will place you under their protection, as long as you’re careful, the Qin family won’t be able to do anything to you!”
Lin Feng nodded slowly, then asked, “What about the Qin family…?”
Lin Yu said calmly: “Don’t worry, their target is me. After you finish your exams, I will find a way to leave.
You go with the Jixia Academy, I will contact you later.”
Lin Feng nodded slowly, his eyes filled with reluctance.
Although Lin Yu wasn't his biological father, they had lived together for so many years, they were like father and son.
Now they were going to be separated, and Lin Feng was filled with both reluctance and worry.
Lin Feng chuckled, saying lightly: “Don’t worry, I escaped from K77 back then, and I can do it again now. I have something that the Emperor gave me…”

East Sea City, South Mountain Cottage.
Qin Xian was flipping through the file in his hand, which contained detailed records of the investigations into Lin Feng, including his personal relationships, and personality analysis.
Qiu Bo stood respectfully by his side, saying gravely: “We’ve been keeping an eye on Lin Yu and Lin Feng.
We’ve already controlled the entire residential area.”
Qin Xian asked casually, “Have they shown any unusual behavior?”
“No, Lin Feng has been grinding levels these past few days, Lin Yu has been managing his shop, but we haven’t gotten too close to avoid alerting them.”
“No unusual behavior means that Lin Yu knows we’re here.”
Qin Xian smiled slightly, tossing the file aside: “We arrived by Spirit Energy Plane, and interfered with his adopted son’s ceremony, how could he not suspect anything?
Everything seems normal now, but it’s just a ploy to lull us into a false sense of security.
Tomorrow is the College Entrance Exam, once that Lin Feng gets into a prestigious academy, he’ll run.
With the academy’s protection, we can’t do anything to him, then he’ll have no reason to hold back.”
Upon hearing this, Qiu Bo’s face flashed with a hint of coldness: “Does this mean we’re going to make our move after the exams?”
“No, he was once the Emperor's close confidante, and he received a gift from the Emperor. Back then, he managed to escape from K77 under heavy siege.
If he uses that thing again, he’ll be able to run again.”
Qin Xian still had a smile on his face, he chuckled lightly: “I’ve read the files, this Lin Feng should be his carefully selected vessel for the Secret Source.
With the Secret Source, he can journey into the depths of the Void to retrieve the Emperor.
And over the years, they’ve become like father and son.
Lin Feng, is his Achilles heel.”
When he said the word "Emperor", a hint of mockery flickered in Qin Xian's eyes.
Qin Xian slowly stood up, and with a slight smile, suddenly asked: “Has Chen Beiguo left?”
A few days ago, in the vicinity of East Sea City, there was a minor Void monster invasion, which destroyed a city.
This was a fairly serious incident, so Chen Beiguo had gone there personally to handle it.
“He has left.” Qiu Bo said gravely, “When shall we make our move?”
“Now.”
