I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart

Chapter 54: I Am Handsome Again

While looking at the disasters happening around the world, Lin Yao had also arrived at the orphanage. Although he now needed to practice a lot more techniques and he did not have much time for training, Lin Yao would definitely go to the orphanage. This was his foundation.

He understood everything about the orphanage. For Lin Yao, who was already familiar with the place, spending time there was effortless. He could even get the children to help with his training. The only thing that Lin Yao was concerned about was Yan Yan.

After she’d helped him with his practice for two consecutive days, Lin Yao had a much better impression of the Ice Snow Princess. She was there at the orphanage today as well. However, Lin Yao felt that she seemed to be in a trance.

“Is something wrong?”

“No,” she said after a pause.

“Alright. I have something to do tomorrow, so I won’t go to school. I’m sorry about not coming for our mutual training.”

“It’s alright.”

After exchanging a few words with her, Lin Yao did not try to chat with her further. The Ice Snow Princess was kind by nature, but she was really cold and difficult to approach.

After helping out at the orphanage, he jogged home by taking the usual path.

He thought that his journey home today would be no different from before. However, when he was halfway there, he felt a strong heart palpitation that made him stop abruptly.

‘What’s with this feeling? What’s going on? Is there something wrong with my heart?’

The sudden heart palpitations were a cause for concern. Lin Yao suspected that there was a problem with his body. However, he told himself that this was not right. Someone with a heart problem would not feel this way. Besides, Lin Yao also clearly sensed that the palpitations were not physical aches. Instead, he felt imminent disaster.

Thanks to the advancement of the Malice Detection ability to a higher level, I can distinguish between good and evil and I can feel malicious intent and terrifying malice.’

Lin Yao could feel a sense of rising fear and did not dare act rashly. At the same time, he was also wondering why he would encounter this crisis.

‘I haven’t provoked anyone in the past few days. The only new thing I did was the mutual training with Yan Yan. Could those rich and powerful children have sent someone to harm me because they were upset with me?’

This was the first thought that flashed across his mind. However, he quickly dismissed it. According to his understanding of the current social situation, it was impossible for wealthy children to be so arrogant.

‘It cannot be about Yan Yan, and I didn’t provoke anyone else. In that case, could the hidden monsters have entered the city?’

Lin Yao thought of the possible reasons for this imminent danger. He was also thinking of ways to save himself. However, soon, he saw his saving grace.

In the past, Lin Yao had noticed that there were very few activities in this world that took place at night. However, the frequency with which the armed forces patrolled the streets was still very high.

Lin Yao had merely stood in place for a while when he saw a special team of three armed men in black uniforms patrolling the streets.

He kept watching the place where he had sensed malice as he stepped backward.

Lin Yao’s posture attracted the attention of the three men in the distance. The three armed men came rushing toward him even without him calling for help.

“Student, what’s happened here?” action

“I can sense danger there… Wait a minute, the danger is gone.”

Lin Yao, who was relieved by the arrival of the three armed men, had wanted to tell them about the malice he had felt. However, while speaking, Lin Yao had realized that the malice he had felt had suddenly disappeared.

Lin Yao could not believe it. He closed his eyes to sense it and then took a few steps forward. However, no matter how he tried to perceive it, he could not sense the malice again.

“It has left. The danger was gone as soon as you came over.” After he finished speaking, Lin Yao added, “It did not leave slowly. It disappeared suddenly.”

The three armed men glanced at each other in disbelief upon hearing Lin Yao’s words. Lin Yao took out his newly-obtained talent certificate and placed it in front of the three special forces members on patrol.

“I am a registered talented person. You should know that those of us who are gifted with awakened energy have better mental strength than the rest and stronger intuition. I wasn’t joking around.”

“Student, we didn’t say that you were joking around. Please come with us to give a statement.”

“Sure.”

Lin Yao followed the three armed policemen and went to the nearby Armed Police Force station to give a statement.

In times of crisis, the country’s efficiency was very high, but even so, it was still very late when Lin Yao finally got home that night.

He had no time to be concerned about these trivial matters. As soon as he returned home, he began to think hard about what the malice that had suddenly disappeared was.

‘It shouldn’t have been killers sent by children from rich and powerful families. Since it suddenly disappeared, it seemed to be a spatial ability. Children from rich and powerful families who do not have any real power have no means of hiring them.

‘Besides, there is something suspicious about this as well. The malice was very powerful. When I first sensed it, I felt as if I couldn’t move. If it had struck at the time, I would have had no chance of survival. However, why did it not take action and let me go instead?

‘Could they not be after me? Could they be worried that they might inadvertently alert the enemy?’

Lin Yao lay on the bed, feeling confused. Unfortunately, he had too little information. All he could do was make speculations, and there was no way to know the truth.

However, Lin Yao was once again aware of one thing after today’s crisis.

‘This is indeed a dangerous era. Even in a city guarded by thousands of armed troops, one can still encounter a malicious existence on the street. It is all the more dangerous in the wild.’

He did not dare speculate about the dangers outside. However, he had also made up his mind.

‘No matter how uncomfortable or painful it is to use thunder and lightning to develop my body tomorrow, I will endure it. I can only be safe and worry-free by having power.’

After a long sleep, Lin Yao woke up at five o’clock the next morning.

He woke up feeling very relaxed both physically and mentally. He felt warm all over his body, as if he was in a hot spring.

‘This is strange. I thought I would not be able to have a good night’s sleep after thinking too much yesterday. It seems that I had good-quality sleep.’

Although Lin Yao no longer trained in the morning when there was no sun, he still needed to learn about the world, so he got up early.

After waking up, he naturally went to the bathroom to wash up. However, there was someone inside. His younger sister, Lin Xiaodie, was washing in a daze.

She looked up upon seeing Lin Yao and was about to continue washing up, when she turned back to take another glance. It was as if she had seen something horrifying as she stared at Lin Yao with a blank look on her face.

Lin Yao laughed at her look of shock and disbelief.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you recognize your big brother?”

Lin Yao, who had had a good night’s sleep, was messing with her. However, after joking around, he did not realize his sister seemed to be even more shocked. In fact, she seemed to be blushing.

“No… Brother, you…”

She was in a daze and was trying to say something but could not form a proper sentence. Meanwhile, the other family members had already woken up.

The third person who came to wash up was his younger brother. Upon seeing that Lin Yao and Lin Xiaodie were crowding around in the bathroom, he took a look and got ready to take care of some other tasks first.

However, he took a glance at Lin Yao and the same expression as Lin Xiaodie’s appeared on his face. Shock was written all over his face. It was as if he had seen something incredible.

“Brother, did you get prettier… No, this doesn’t seem like a beauty treatment. This looks like special effects. Brother, how did you do it?”

“What do you mean? Special effects? I don’t understand you.”

That said, Lin Yao knew that his sister was surprised by how much he had changed. He was curious about what had happened to him, so he looked directly in the bathroom mirror and was left speechless.

“Is that me? I am so handsome.”
