Reborn as an abandoned daughter, she became a stunning genius

Chapter 272 System Upgrade Complete

"Miss Youran's surname is also Chen."

Jiang Ning suddenly asked.

Yue Yang quickly explained, "Chen Ke is Miss Youran's uncle, but her father and Chen Ke broke off contact many years ago because of disagreements."

"That's it." Jiang Ning nodded slowly, not sure whether he believed it or not.

"By the way, Miss Youran, did you know each other before? Why didn't you tell me what happened?" Yue Yang quickly changed the subject.

Seeing Yue Yang suddenly asking about this matter, Chen Youran recalled the tit-for-tat confrontation during the day and couldn't help but clenched her fingers nervously.

Jiang Ning looked at Chen Youran's obviously nervous face, shook his head and said, "It was just a small misunderstanding during the day."

"That's it." Yue Yang believed Jiang Ning's words.

Chen Youran was already prepared in her heart for Jiang Ning to complain in front of Yue Yang. Although Yue'er had always been arrogant and rude in what happened during the day, it still had something to do with her.

But she never expected that Jiang Ning would hide it for her.

It wasn't until Jiang Ning and Yue Yang sat back down that Chen Youran calmed down and quickly returned to his seat to sit down.

After the dinner, Jiang Ning and Qinghong were led by the maid into their respective rooms.

When Qinghong learned that he was going to separate from Jiang Ning, he was extremely unwilling. If Jiang Ning hadn't persuaded him, he would have made a fuss no matter what.

After entering his own room, Jiang Ning took out the gold and water jade from the Void Illusion Ring and placed it on the table.

After a while, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

[System upgrade mission: seize the gold, water and jade in the hands of the evil spirits. 】

[Task reward: The genius training system is upgraded to an advanced system, and a copy of the Ten Thousand Poisons Manual. 】

[The mission has been completed, and the mission rewards will be distributed immediately. 】

[System mission: Become the number one genius in the martial arts continent. 】

[Task Reward: Unknown! 】

The next moment, a golden book appeared in front of Jiang Ning.

There are four words written in calligraphy on the gold-covered book, Handbook of All Poisons.

At the same time, the long-lost system voice appeared in my mind.

[Jiang Ning, I miss you so much! 】

"Yo, I'm back."

[Jiang Ning, your cultivation has reached the psychic realm? 】

"Didn't you upgrade? Why are you still the same as before?" Jiang Ning asked.

【no the same!What's the same? Don't you think I've become smarter after not seeing each other for so long? 】

"..." Jiang Ning really couldn't answer this question.

"I did not think."

[Jiang Ning, how can you say that to me? I will be sad. 】

"I can see it. The so-called upgrade means that you become more talkative, right?"

【certainly not!Forget it, I won’t tease you anymore.Let me tell you, this successful upgrade has given me a lot more functions. 】

"for example?"

【I can turn into a physical entity!From now on, I can be physically by your side, and I can also help you when you encounter difficulties. 】

"Really? Then you can transform into one and let me see."

【Look at it. 】

Suddenly, a ball of light the size of a fingernail appeared in front of Jiang Ning's eyes.

"Keep changing, why did you stop?"

[…The transformation is complete. 】

The light group flashed slightly.

"That's it?"

[Isn’t this enough? 】

"...That's enough, but what can you, a fingernail-sized ball of light, do to help me in times of crisis?" Jiang Ning questioned the strength of the system.

[Don’t look at how small I am now, no matter how powerful the spiritual beasts are, I can possess them! 】

"Sounds good, what else?"

【Gone. 】

"No more? Didn't you say it has many functions?"

[Yeah, not much?I can transform into a physical entity, possess spiritual beasts, and understand the words of all spiritual beasts. 】

After looking at the small ball of light floating in the air, Jiang Ning withdrew his gaze.

"Is this the Ten Thousand Poisons Manual?" Jiang Ning looked at the golden book in his hand.

It looks like it's only about the size of a palm and less than an inch thick. How dare you name it 'Ten Thousand Poisons' when it's so big?

[Yes, all the poisons in the world are recorded here, whether they are animal poisons, phantom poisons, or medicinal poisons, the corresponding methods of making and detoxifying poisons can be found here. 】

Jiang Ning opened it and looked at it, and found that the names of various poisons were densely listed in the golden book, "Why are there only names?"

[This is just a catalog. If you put your finger on the name of the poison you want to know about, the relevant information will automatically enter your mind. 】

Jiang Ning tried as the system said, and sure enough, the information immediately entered his mind automatically.

[You can only digest this information slowly. If you read too much at once, you will become dizzy. 】

Jiang Ning held the Ten Thousand Poisons Manual and flipped through it with interest. He didn't know if he heard what the system said.

At this sight, Jiang Ning fell in and watched it all night.

Early the next morning, Jiang Ning didn't feel any headache at all, he just felt refreshed.

After breakfast, Jiang Ning went to the study where Yueyang handled official business.

"Lord City Lord, Miss Qin is here." After the maid informed, Yue Yang quickly put down his official duties and stood up.

"How did you come?"

Jiang Ning looked at the piles of official business on Yueyang's desk and said jokingly, "The Lord of the City is quite busy."

"Stop teasing me. It was only after I became the city lord that I realized how hard my father had worked in the past. Sitting in this pile of official duties every day made me dizzy." Yue Yang complained.

"I came today because there is something I forgot to tell you yesterday." Jiang Ning said.

Yue Yang looked confused and asked, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Ning didn't speak, Yue Yang looked at the maids by the door and asked them all to leave.

After the maids had gone away, Jiang Ning slowly said, "The evil spirit clan's lair has been deep in the Soul-Desolating Mountains. Their lair collapsed yesterday, causing a lot of losses. There may be some action taken recently."

"The evil spirits are hiding in the Broken Soul Mountain Range?!" Yue Yang was shocked when he heard the news.

No wonder no matter how big the Evil Spirit Clan’s actions have been in recent years, no one can follow the clues and find their lair, which is actually hidden in the Soul-Desolating Mountains.

After a pause, Yue Yang noticed another piece of information in Jiang Ning's words.

"Their nest collapsed? A natural disaster or a man-made disaster? Who did it?"

As soon as the words came out, Yue Yang reacted immediately and said in surprise.

"What did you do?!"

"That's not important. What's important is that Li City is closest to the Broken Soul Mountain Range. If nothing else happens, they will choose to attack Li City." Jiang Ning highlighted the key points.

Hearing this, Yue Yang frowned immediately.

"When do you think they will attack Li City?"

"Most of their people are injured. I guess they will not use their own hands, but borrow knives to kill people. As for the best knife in the Soul-Desolating Mountains, of course..."

"Spirit beast!"

Outside the study room of the City Lord's Mansion, Chen Youran was holding the lotus seed soup made by himself, preparing to deliver it to Yueyang, but was blocked by the maids.

"Why did you stop me?" Chen Youran asked in confusion.

"Miss Chen, the Lord of the City has important matters to deal with. No one is allowed to disturb him," the maid replied.

Chen Youran glanced at the study not far away, then took the lotus seed soup to a nearby pavilion and sat down to wait.
