A brilliant golden light shone into Zhang Yuanqing's mind, dissipating his anger and freeing him from the questioning state. He saw Li Dongze, who was disheveled and felt pain all over his body, as if he had suffered a brutal beating.
"Every time we devour the spirits of evil professions, the Night Wanderer goes crazy..."
Li Dongze threw the Demon Suppression Pestle back to Zhang Yuanqing, then tidied up his clothes and pulled out a bag of wet wipes from his pocket, saying, "Wipe away the nosebleed and always maintain elegance."
Zhang Yuanqing took the wet wipes, wiped away the blood stains on his nose, and checked his attribute panel. He had gained 5% experience points, and his current experience points were 52%.
Then, he sorted out his memory fragments.
The Spiritual Energy Association's Eastern Division has two vice presidents: the Mysterious Eye Judge and the "Outlaw" superior. The two vice presidents have been vying for the position of president for many years. After the Mysterious Eye Judge died, the other vice president tried to obtain the Holy Grail and the roster to acquire the assets of his competitors and integrate the Eastern Division.
So they are also looking for Black Impermanence.
The power of the Spiritual Energy Association is huge. The Eastern Division alone has two vice presidents, both of whom are high-level Spiritual Realm practitioners... Zhang Yuanqing regained his composure and said, "Captain, I have found a major clue."
He immediately told Li Dongze about the list he saw in his memory fragments.
Li Dongze nodded as he listened and his eyes lit up when he heard the list.
"Very good, with this list, we can conduct targeted investigations and not wander around aimlessly. It seems that the ones who know the enemy best are still the enemies themselves."
Zhang Yuanqing pondered, "I have a strange feeling. First it was Ou Xiangrong, then the Outlaw, as if someone is giving us clues."
Li Dongze smiled and said, "You have good ideas. Write an analysis report for me. This is a test of your abilities."
"Elegance is strange, you will lose me like this..." Zhang Yuanqing's face suddenly became dull.
"Li Yuanfang got lucky. They made great contributions." Li Dongze sighed and didn't say anything else. He walked to the door, opened the iron door, and the members of the second team in the corridor rushed up, facing the stern and serious Li Yuanfang with some expectation, asking, "What's the clue?"
Li Dongze smiled and said, "We got a list of Black Impermanence's subordinates. You guys made a great contribution."
Li Yuanfang's stern face was covered with a smile.
The team leaders of the second team were overjoyed and had smiles on their faces.
The weight of this list can be imagined. The more important the list, the greater their contribution, and the whole team benefits.
Li Dongze said in a deep voice, "But the authenticity of the list remains to be verified."
Li Yuanfang nodded calmly, then looked at Zhang Yuanqing behind Li Dongze and said, "When the rewards are issued, we will draw a 10% compensation for you. Thank you..."
His tone was surprisingly gentle.
Then, he exclaimed with envy, "Captain Li is so lucky."
The members of the second team looked at Zhang Yuanqing with goodwill and approval.
No one objected to the captain's compensation idea, thinking that Zhang Yuanqing deserved it.
......
Dinner.
Zhang Yuanqing sat at the table and enjoyed the meal his grandmother made.Jiang Yu'er was eating while watching short videos on her phone. She was wearing a pink hoodie with two fluffy ears on the hood.
When she was around 18 or 19, her aunt liked to collect black stockings and short skirts to show off her mature charm.
After her 25th birthday, her dressing style became more girlish, and she called herself a little girl or fairy.
The older she got, the more she liked to act cute.
"Don't play with your phone while eating," scolded her grandmother.
"Just a little bit..." her aunt pouted while chewing her food. "Yuan, today I saw a mixed-race girl at the hospital. She has a great figure and is pretty. Do you know how old her husband is?"
Not only does the mixed-race girl have a great figure, but she's also good at driving... Zhang Yuanqing asked in agreement, "How old?"
"He's still a college student," her aunt said with disdain. "Look at you, still single with no achievements."
"You're also single. Why are you talking about me?" Zhang Yuanqing gave her a sidelong glance.
"You don't understand. I'm single because I'm pure. You're single because you have no ambition."
"You can't even handle a punch from Xiang Yu," Zhang Yuanqing retorted.
Their grandmother heard this and scolded her daughter, "How can you talk about Yuanqing like that? He's focusing on his studies now. What's wrong with that? And you talk about being pure, do you want to be a saint? Next week, you'll continue to go on blind dates for me. I'm not asking you to get married right away, but at least find a boyfriend first."
Her aunt turned the conversation to her nephew, "I haven't become a regular employee yet, and I also want to focus on my career. Your grandson is 30 years old and still single."
Their grandmother heard this and thought it made sense. She looked at Chen Yuanjun and said, "Yuanjun, let me arrange another blind date for you. Last time, I showed your photo to the other party, and she said she didn't want to date someone older. I thought their family had no taste... I'll have Yu'er edit your photo to make you look younger."
Chen Yuanjun's mouth twitched, and he habitually furrowed his brows, saying in a deep voice, "As long as you're happy, grandmother. But I think that Yuanqing has been sleeping during the day and playing games at night these days. He doesn't care about his studies at all. University is not the end of learning, but the beginning of entering society. Auntie is abroad, and you should supervise Yuanqing more. You should smash his PS5."
Their grandmother heard this and thought it made sense. She scolded angrily, "All you do is play games. You're not making any progress. Do you want me to smash your game console?"
"No, you're too cruel, bro..." Zhang Yuanqing's scalp tingled. Seeing his grandmother talking non-stop, he quietly summoned Xiao Dou Bi and instructed him to climb onto his grandfather's head. Then he calmed down and personally manipulated it to change his grandfather's hearing.
"Grandma, look at grandpa. He doesn't care about anything and leaves everything to you. That's not fair."
His aunt and cousin looked at him in surprise. This guy is so bold today.
Upon hearing this, their grandmother looked at her grandfather and frowned, "Lao Chen, say something... Lao Chen, Lao Chen?"
Their grandfather had a chubby and cute baby on his head and was completely oblivious. He silently ate his meal. Zhang Yuanqing quietly retrieved Xiao Dou Bi, and his grandfather suddenly lifted his head, as if he had just heard someone calling him. He furrowed his brows and said, "What?"
Note: The name correspondences for "Yuan" are different for the two characters. Zhang Yuanqing's name contains the "Yuan" that means "original," while Yuan Zi's name contains the "Yuan" that means "element.""What do you mean? Are you pretending to be deaf with me? All you do is take walks, play chess, and watch TV all day. Am I your Chen family's servant? You don't care about your own daughter, grandson, or great-grandson. I know which family's scum inherited whom..." Grandma's bad temper was out of control.
Zhang Yuanqing lowered his head to eat, hiding his true abilities and identity.
.......
Moss Pet Cafe.
The rolling shutter door was half closed, and the lights inside the store were dim. The orange glow and elm floor combined to create a soothing and calm atmosphere.
Senior officials from Fenghui District, Kangyang District, Jinjiang District, and Puning District gathered around the round table, a total of eleven people. They sat around the table with steaming cups of coffee.
Without a doubt, this was a high-level meeting, and the fact that the senior officials were summoned to attend the meeting meant that it was organized by an elder.
Under the orange chandelier, in the center of the round table, a curly-haired Teddy bear sat proudly, speaking with a human voice:
"Everyone is here. To make it short, the matter of the Judge with the Mysterious Eyes is of great importance. Have you gained any results these past few days?"
He was one of the responsible persons for the Judge with the Mysterious Eyes incident in the Hundred Flowers Society. He managed all the teams of Lingjing walkers in the four districts and was a powerful figure who could report directly to the leader.
The other officials did not speak, and the official from Fenghui District raised his hand and said in a low voice:
"My men killed a witchcraft master today. It was confirmed that he was a member of the Witch King's faction, and we obtained a list from the memory of his spirit..."
He then announced the contents of the list.
A quick look at tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w will leave you more fulfilled.
The curly-haired Teddy bear's bean-shaped eyes showed a look of approval:
"Well done. Hmm, the spirit of the witchcraft master was abnormally restless. The Night Traveling God of Taiyi Gate needs to pay a considerable price to ask him questions. We will compensate them later."
The official from Fenghui District nodded, and he added:
"I don't think the incident with Ou Xiangrong was a coincidence. He was released by the Witch King as bait for us to know about the Judge with the Mysterious Eyes incident. The witchcraft master killed today was also a member of the Witch King's faction. He wants to use our official power to find Black Impermanence."
The Witch King was another vice president of the Lingneng Society in the Eastern District. He had been competing with the Judge with the Mysterious Eyes for the position of president for a long time.
The two sides were like water and fire.
"When the targets are the same, anyone can become friends. But the Fallen Holy Grail is harmful, and it must be kept by us officials. It must not fall into the hands of the Witch King." The Teddy bear looked at everyone and said:
"Does anyone have anything to add?"
The officials silently recorded the list. A female official frowned and said:
"We should be wary of Zhao Yingjun's example. I suggest that we screen all members of the Songhai branch, including the Night Traveling God of Taiyi Gate. There may be hidden chess pieces from the Lingneng Society."
The Teddy bear pondered for a few seconds and nodded slowly, "In that case, we have to use the 'Tiger Talisman.' I will submit an application to the Marshal."
After finishing the official business, Teddy turned his head and looked at Fu Qingyang, who was wearing a white suit and was silent. He said, "I heard that you recently recruited a Night Traveling God with great potential and cleared the She Ling Tunnel?"
Fu Qingyang nodded slightly and added, "Ou Xiangrong was also killed by him."
Teddy said, "A few days ago, the Red Tassel Elder of Taiyi Gate contacted me and wanted to take that Night Traveling God over. I know Sun Zhanglao said not to take that little guy, but the Five Elements Alliance and Taiyi Gate have signed an agreement after all.""Personnel matters are under the management of Elder Hongying, Sun Zhanglao's opinion doesn't count... Qingyang, what's your opinion?"
Fu Qingyang replied calmly, "I'll refuse her. If it's inconvenient for Elder Sun, I'll make the call myself."
A steward from the Baihua Association immediately smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. Let's just give Taiyi Men one Night Traveling God. Elder Hongying's favor is more valuable, isn't it? Besides, every district has a Night Traveling God from Taiyi Men sitting in, and when we need them to work, they are also actively cooperative, right, Lao Zhang?"
Lao Zhang is the steward of the Fenghui district.
Other stewards remained silent and did not express their opinions on this sensitive issue.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Lao Zhang frowned and said, "Since it's Captain Fu's person, I won't comment on personnel adjustments, but I want to give feedback on the work attitude of Taiyi Men's Night Traveling Gods. The Witch Gu Master who was killed today was not asked by Taiyi Men's Night Traveling God Wen Ling. He refused to cooperate, citing poor condition. My squad leader couldn't do anything, so I had to beg the second team in Kangyang district. Heh, they came with just one phone call, without any complaints. And he's only a level 1 Night Traveling God.
"I personally think that there is a difference between our own Night Traveling Gods and others' Night Traveling Gods."
Fu Qingyang was stunned. He didn't know about this.
After hearing Lao Zhang's words, several stewards expressed their opinions:
"I think we should keep him. Taiyi Men doesn't lack a Night Traveling God."
"Now is the time to use people. Our own people are more trustworthy."
The steward of the Baihua Association looked embarrassed and didn't say anything more.
Curly Teddy nodded and said, "Then let's keep him. I'll refuse on behalf of Elder Hongying. Qingyang, Taiyi Men's Ling Jun will lead the team to arrive in Songhai in a few days to assist us in capturing Black Wuchang. You two are peers, close in normal times, and also one of the Four Young Masters. You go and receive him."
Fu Qingyang responded with an "Mm."
