"Okay then, I will look at it again."
Bibi Dong took the letter suspiciously. She decided that if the content was not like what Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo said, they will know what cruelty is.
Withdrawing her menacing eyes, her eyes fell on the fourth page of the letter.
Looking at the content written on it, Bibi Dong's pupils instantly dilated, and her small mouth opened slightly. Her face showed a look of surprise.
This...the plot has actually undergone an astonishing reversal.
In the letter Qian Renxue said that after Xue Xing appeared, there was no suppression on her and what Xue Xing did was even more surprising.
First of all, he did not protect Xue Beng, but directly resigned his right to control the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Then he took the initiative to recommend Qian Renxue to take over his previous position.
Her head became numb just like others have felt when they learnt of the reversal.
Do you dare to believe this?
No one can believe it!
As she kept on reading, the second shocking matter appeared.
The Emperor Xue Ye has decided on the same day that he would formally abdicate his throne and conduct a succession ceremony after the Soul Master Competition.
Although the news has not yet been announced, unless Qian Renxue's identity is exposed, there will be no change.
Unexpected, it was really too unexpected.
The things that the Spirit Hall had planned for so many years were inexplicably realized.
To be honest, if Bibi Dong hadn't repeatedly confirmed that this letter was indeed written by Qian Renxue, she would have doubted whether there was a conspiracy hidden in it.
Although there are too many doubts and puzzles in her heart. At least the stone in her heart can be dropped.
Phew.... Can't you just tell us the result directly. What are you doing by writing the whole processes?
She must have did it on purpose.
This girl...
Bibi Dong shook her head helplessly, but there was another doubt in his heart.
Why did Xue Xing do this? This is really unusual.
She found the answer when she turned to page five.
Qian Renxue described all this in a simple and clear manner, and said that it was not accidental, and all these results obtained were all from a strange man named Lin Yan who secretly helped them.
The other party taught her how to get the approval of the Emperor Xue Ye. In the most critical moment, he ordered Poison Douluo, Ning Fengzhi and others to help him and consolidate his position.
And the opponent's origin is very likely to come from the depths of the Star Dou Forest...
The case was solved.
All mysteries that plauged her heart are solved.
Bibi Dong never thought that Mr. Lin Yan would have such a plan.
Lin Yan: I didn't even know that I secretly planned so many...
Bibi Dong stored the letter right away and instructed the two elders: "The two elders you should go back and rest first. Let's not say anything about this matter for the time being. At present, it seems that it is not a fluke for the two of you to come back alive. This Mr. Lin is a friend and not an enemy. It is just the current plan of Mr. Lin and what he is trying to do is unknown for the time being."
If Da Hei was here, he would be speechless. "I just want to make an opportunity for master to have fun. I swear master has no plans whatsoever regarding the two elders."
After that two elders retreated.
In the empty papal hall, only Bibi Dong was left, and she couldn't help but feel a little lost.
She would love to see this mysterious Lin Yan. She felt that it is necessary for her to communicate with this person about what he would do next.
Outside the Heaven Dou Imperial City.
The city gate is now closed due to traffic, because several big figures of Heaven Dou City gathered outside the city.
Ning Fengzhi, Prince Qian Renxue, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, Poison Douluo, Tang Yuehua and so on.
And their purpose of gathering here is to see Lin Yan off.
Yes, Lin Yan felt it was time to go home.
As the saying goes, a good golden kennel and a silver kennel are not as good as your own dog kennel.
There is nothing that can compare with one's own root.
No one dared to object to this.
"Mr. Lin, this is a gadget I treasure. As long as it is within ten meters of it, you can be unafraid of the winter and heat."
As Qian Renxue said, she took out a palm-sized snow-white jade plate from the Space Soul Guidance Device.
However, no one else had seen it and couldn't recognize it, but Ning Fengzhi's pupils shrank suddenly.
Because although this jade plate is not as precious and as famous as the vast sea universe cover. But it is also a treasure of the Heaven Dou Empire.
It is named Hanyang Baoyu.
In terms of the degree of cherishment, it is enough to be ranked in the top five treasures of the empire, but it is hidden deep in the palace treasury and is not known to outsiders.
And this thing was given to her by the Emperor on the day she was canonized as a prince, and it was extremely valuable.
"So amazing?"
Lin Yan got interested and reached out to take it.
At the same time, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply.
But it's not too cold, it gave a very comfortable feeling.
"It's almost the same as an air conditioner. It's a pity that the range is not enough. If the spreading range is bigger, it would be fine."
Lin Yan's eyes lit up. What he wants is for it to cover the entire house.
This big shot is too whimsical, ten meters is already the limit...
Qian Renxue was helpless.
But as soon as Lin Yan's voice fell, above the Baoyu a light flashed suddenly, and the temperature dropped sharply within a radius of 100 meters.
Ning Fengzhi and Qian Renxue were shocked at the same time.
"Awesome. Isn't this just the air conditioner? Your Royal Highness, I thank you, I like this thing so much."
Lin Yan accepted it happily.
And after Qian Renxue, Tang Yuehua came in style.
She is as noble as ever.
Lin Yan's mouth curved upwards, this is because he didn't hurt her too much last night.
However, in full view, the two kept a certain distance in accordance with Tang Yuehua's wishes.
And her gift is very peculiar.
Lin Yan opened it, and inside the box was a gorgeous...waistband.
However, after Tang Yuehua finished giving her gift, she smiled and stepped aside.
Lin Yan smacked his lips thinking of the unsaid words.
After that, everyone who came gave parting gifts one after another.
Finally, Ning Fengzhi, who was the last one appeared and presented his gift, and his gift was very strange.
His gift was shrouded in black cloth, and it looked like a one-meter-square box from the outside.
When Ning Fengzhi pulled off the black cloth on it.
Everyone's expressions became dull.
Lin Yan couldn't help but whisper. "Such a big... chicken."
Those are two flaming red birds that have grown to half a meter in length.
Turkey.
Are these the Firefinch that he specially raised?
Everyone did not expect that Ning Fengzhi to pay such a high price for the gift.
Isn't this the soul beast firefinch that he has spent tens of millions of dollars to raise?
"Sect Master Ning gift is really interesting."
Lin Yan sincerely thanked him.
I almost forgot my plan to raise two poultry.
Although this gift is not expensive, it is sincere.
This is a simple gift, but it also meets Lin Yan's needs.
"I don't know how old it is, it should not be very old. I don't know if they can lay eggs, otherwise I can only stew them for soup."
Lin Yan rubbed his chin.
But as soon as these words came out, the two spirit beasts were almost scared to death.
Ordinary people can't feel it.
But the soul beast could clearly feel the extremely strong oppression from Lin Yan.
Moreover, the giant giant ape with his head sticking out from Lin Yan's legs will definitely teach him how to be a human...no, be a soul beast.
It is too frightening. He really wants to eat us.
It may be due to excessive tension. It may also be because of not wanting to die.
The female firefinch lays an egg with a 'poof' in the cage.
Everyone was speechless.
I have been raising you for so many years before you laid a few eggs for me. But just from a word you readily laid eggs for him.
Ning Fengzhi was petrified.
Eh?
Isn't this the egg that used for tea eggs that day?
Their taste is very good.
Lin Yan waved his hand and Bone Douluo threw the cage onto the carriage.
You need know, this time the task of the coachman was taken by Bone Douluo with great effort. Naturally, he has to perform well.
After all, Sword Douluo was able to reach level 99 Titled Douluo combat power.
I'm so envious.
Jumping into the carriage, Lin Yan waved at everyone.
"Good bye everyone, we will meet again in the future."

APRIL 19
BICYCLE DAY
____________________________________________
Bicycle Day is fast approaching. And while we don't think it'll ever take off like Thanksgiving, the popularity of the event is growing by the year. However, it remains a day that's lost on a lot of people while many others have the completely wrong idea of what the celebration is all about. (Hint: it's not the obvious answer)
The event has grown at a rapid rate and is set to be bigger than ever in 2020 before enjoying continued development over the years to come. While some people may deem it a strange thing to commemorate, especially when they discover it's not what they thought, there is no question that it's here to stay. In truth, it has every right to too.
Given its name, you'd be forgiven for jumping to the conclusion that Bicycle Day is a celebration of the two-wheeled, pedal-driven, single-track vehicle. However, the adulation of the bike is actually reserved for World Bicycle Day – so you can put your helmet and Queen record away for a little while longer.
Bicycle Day is, incredibly, a celebration of the lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). Or rather, it commemorates a discovery that LSD (and, subsequently, other psychoactive substances) can evoke significant shifts of consciousness even in low doses. It is, therefore, one of the biggest breakthroughs in the history of using the substance as a psychiatric tool, recreationally as well as in other situations.
The day is consequently celebrated in a wide range of psychedelic communities by supporters of various ages, as well as individuals (guilty!) of wanting another excuse for adding a little color to their lives – albeit in a much safer environment.
Given the importance of scientific discovery, not least its indirect impacts on further discoveries, Bicycle Day is a valid celebration that can be enjoyed by all. You don't need to be a junkie to appreciate the development of drugs for medical reasons in recent decades.
While the day isn't a direct celebration of bicycles, most people that learn about the day are relieved to discover that the two-world vehicles do play an integral role in the story. Even for an LSD user, the absence of a bike would just be weird.
The historical event was, quite literally, a bike 'trip' taken by Dr. Albert Hofmann. In April 1945, the Swiss scientist accidentally discovered the effects of LSD on the human body. Three days later, he subsequently conducted an experiment in which he intentionally took a 250mcg dose of the substance before riding home with his lab assistant. During the ride home, Hofmann's trip started with bouts of anxiety and paranoid warped thoughts that his next-door neighbor was a malevolent witch.
However, the trip would change his perceptions in a more positive manner. He later explained: "little by little I could begin to enjoy the unprecedented colors and plays of shapes that persisted behind my closed eyes. Kaleidoscopic, fantastic images surged in on me, alternating, variegated, opening and then closing themselves in circles and spirals, exploding in colored fountains, rearranging and hybridizing themselves in constant flux."
Having been checked over by a house doctor, it was confirmed that (aside from dilated pupils) no physical alterations could be detected, thus confirming the impacts had been entirely psychological. While Hofmann had correctly predicted this after his previous encounter three days earlier, his calculations on the threshold were wildly inaccurate. That 250mg hit was over 10x the 20mg threshold dose, which probably explains why the impacts were so quick and noticeable.
It clearly didn't do him much harm in the long-term, though, as he lived to the age of 102!
While Hofmann's famous bike trip happened in 1945, Bicycle Day didn't launch for another four decades! That's one very long comedown…
The first Bicycle Day was organized and celebrated by Thomas B. Roberts, a Professor at Northern Illinois University, starting out as nothing more than a party at his DeKalb, Illinois home. Despite remaining a small scale event over the following years, it grew in popularity at a rapid rate in the early years of online interactions thanks to students spreading the word on forums and other internet platforms.
It is now an annual event that has been amplified to greater levels than ever before, with thousands celebrating it in their own ways. Even more, people are expected to join the fun year after year.
