In the high-end suite of the apartment, Guan Ya sat on the bed, hugging her knees. In front of her was a tablet playing a urban melodrama.

After being messed up by Yuanshi, she couldn't sleep and couldn't focus on the TV series. She sat for five or six hours, and her buttocks were sore.

"Ah..." Guan Ya pinched her forehead, her beautiful face showing signs of fatigue.

With her physique, it was no problem for her to stay awake for two days and nights. The main issue was that she was upset. Previously, when she was browsing the forum, she saw someone die in a dungeon. At most, she felt that fate was unpredictable.

But unexpectedly, her friends were also involved in the turmoil, and their lives were uncertain.

To be honest, Guan Ya quite liked that guy. He looked good, was young, had great potential, and had a humorous and witty way of speaking. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him.

The most important thing was that he was good at accelerating.

In the second team, Wang Tai was a dull person, and Li Dongze considered himself elegant, thinking that it was not gentlemanly to make dirty jokes. Only Yuanshi could tolerate her level of humor and make connections.

But this interesting little guy was most likely going to fail this time.

Guan Ya had never experienced an S-level dungeon, but there was an elder sister in her family who had exceptional talent. She had consecutively matched with S-level dungeons during the Transcendent and Saint stages, and each time was a life-or-death situation. She had once explained in detail the difficulty of S-level Spirit Realms.

Different S-level Spirit Realms tested different areas, and being able to clear an S-level dungeon once did not mean that one could clear it a second time, because everyone had their weaknesses. There were no geniuses in the world.

Yuanshi could handle the Red Dancing Shoes by relying on his powerful memory (as he claimed), but this ability might not work in the Golden Water Amusement Park.

Guan Ya had already prepared for the worst.

Suddenly, a piercing ringtone echoed in the bedroom, startling Guan Ya.

Huh? Someone is calling me at this time? She squinted her eyes and looked at the lit screen of her phone—it was Yuanshi!

At this moment, Guan Ya seemed to hear her own rapid heartbeat.

She hurriedly picked up the phone, took a deep breath, and answered, "Yuanshi?"

After saying two words, Guan Ya held her breath.

"Sister Guan Ya, I cleared the Golden Water Amusement Park." A familiar voice came through the speaker.

... Guan Ya sat in a daze, with only one thought echoing in her mind: he cleared the S-level Spirit Realm again!

"Sister Guan Ya? Sister Guan Ya, are you listening?"

Zhang Yuanqing's voice brought her back to reality, and Guan Ya exclaimed, "You cleared the S-level Spirit Realm again, you little guy, you little guy..."

"Do you know what this means? The captain will be so happy when he finds out, he'll go crazy with joy."

"Yes, I can already predict what he will say," Zhang Yuanqing laughed, "He will say: Oh my god, dear God, have you heard my loyal prayer? Yes, you must have heard it..."

Also, I'm not a little guy. He corrected himself in his heart.

Guan Ya laughed twice and happily kicked her long legs. "Don't tease him like this in front of the captain, otherwise he will hit your head hard."

Zhang Yuanqing also laughed. Unable to contain her curiosity, Guan Ya said, "You haven't checked the forum, have you? Another official staff member entered the Golden Water Amusement Park last night. It seems his name is Hebo. Those colleagues who are about to enter the Spirit Realm are panicking. Can you tell me about the situation in the Golden Water Amusement Park?"

The strategies and items for the Spirit Realms were extremely attractive to adventurers, just like a stunning beauty to a man.

"No, I can't tell you." Zhang Yuanqing refused outright.

Guan Ya was taken aback. She didn't expect Yuanshi to refuse. She thought their relationship was pretty solid.

"Unless you send me a picture of your beautiful legs in black stockings as a reward." Zhang Yuanqing smirked.

Guan Ya chuckled and her face lit up again. "Pictures are boring. Why don't you come to my place now? I'll let you have a good look. I'll also give you a set of stockings to take home and make milk tea with."

Zhang Yuanqing discussed seriously, "I think it's a waste to use stockings to make milk tea. It's better to use them to clean guns."

Guan Ya lay on the bed, laughing so hard that her chest trembled. "How can you say such things in front of a lady? Anything else, anything else..."

...

At 7:30 in the morning, Li Dongze's first action after waking up was to grab the phone on the bedside table and check for missed calls and unread messages.

He couldn't hide his disappointment.

"What a troublesome child..."

Li Dongze sighed, looked at the ceiling for more than ten seconds, and then got up and dressed. His movements were elegant, slow and steady. No matter how bad his mood was or how heavy his heart was, he couldn't give up his elegance.

On the dining table, Li Dongze enjoyed the breakfast made by the housekeeper, but his mind was not on the food.

The Transcendent stage dungeon should have been cleared overnight. If there was no news before noon... Li Dongze's mood became even heavier, and the food lost its taste. He put down his chopsticks and said, "Put the food away."

The housekeeper, busy in the kitchen, responded and was about to come out to clean the table when she heard the sound of the employer's phone ringing from the bedroom.

"I'll get it..."

She turned and walked towards the bedroom, but suddenly saw the employer jump up from the chair, his face excited. "No, no need!"

Then, this employer who valued elegance rushed into the bedroom in a very inelegant manner.

Li Dongze rushed to the bedside and saw that the caller ID was 'Yuanshi'. His breathing became rapid, and he picked up the phone, took a deep breath, and kept his voice calm as he said, "Yuanshi, are you out?"

Li Dongze's face tensed.

"Captain, I made it out alive." Zhang Yuanqing's tone was weary. "I just came out and immediately called you."

He had been chatting with Guan Ya until now, forgetting the time.

Li Dongze's tense face relaxed, and he immediately asked, "Are you injured? Did you receive a strong mental shock and leave a psychological shadow?"

"Yes, in the amusement park, the Ghost Bride had deep feelings for me. She said she wouldn't marry anyone else but me. It's really difficult to reject a beautiful woman's favor. I feel guilty and have left a deep psychological shadow."

"It seems like there's nothing important, so I can rest assured." Li Dongze smiled slightly.

"You just came out, so rest at home first. You can come to the company in a few days. But make sure to write the strategy as soon as possible and send it to my email. I will apply for the relevant rewards and credits for you. By the way, do we need more cola at home? I'll have a few cases sent over."

Strange, Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but mutter in his heart, "No need, Shizhang. I still prefer the way you stubbornly say 'go buy it yourself'."

Li Dongze: "......"

After hanging up the phone, Li Dongze took a deep breath and couldn't control his emotions anymore. "Oh, my God, have you heard my loyal prayer..."

He was wrong. This kid wasn't just talented, he was a genius.

If clearing an S-level mission might involve luck, then clearing two S-level missions was not just about luck. He could definitely be trained as a prospective disciple.

There was even hope to reach the level of an elder.

Among the young generation of Lingjing practitioners in the Wuxing Alliance, Fu Qingyang had the most potential to become an elder. But even he had only cleared an S-level Lingjing once.

........

On the second floor of the villa, Fu Qingyang, dressed in a white suit and with a cool short ponytail, held a knife and fork, cutting the omelette and steak expressionlessly.

Across from him was Ling Jun, wearing a loose T-shirt and shorts, eating voraciously.

At this moment, a bunny girl walked over, holding a phone in her hands, and said softly:

"Young Master, it's Li Dongze's call."

Fu Qingyang's gaze fell on the phone. He put down his knife and fork and glanced at his friend who was oblivious to everything outside the window, eating heartily.

"What's the matter?" He answered the call with a cold voice.

"Captain, Yuanshi Tianzun has come out. He cleared the Jinshui Amusement Park." Li Dongze's voice was particularly loud when he said this.

Ding dong... Fu Qingyang glanced at the Playboy magazine that had fallen on the table when he heard the news. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "I know."

He handed the phone to the bunny girl and said with a smile:

"I made a mistake. I should have made a bet with you."

He said this with a very pleasant tone, without a hint of regret.

"I always thought that those S-level Lingjing missions should be cleared by our Taiyi Sect..." Ling Jun, however, was extremely regretful and distressed. He said with a sigh, "Elder Sun is confused."

Fu Qingyang was surprised. "You also know about this?"

"Oh, this is a new joke on our Taiyi Sect forum. I also browse the forum sometimes."

"You... criticizing the elder like this, aren't you afraid of being punished?"

"It's fine, Elder Sun doesn't go online and doesn't even know how to use a phone." Ling Jun picked up his knife and fork again and said, "But this time, it's probably hard to hide. When he cleared the She Ling Tunnel, he was a potential stock to be observed. Now that he has cleared another S-level mission, it confirms that this kid has brains and potential. His future achievements won't be low. Sigh, I'm starting to blame Elder Sun a bit now."

"By the way, clearing two S-level missions, the third mission will have an A-level as the foundation. If he survives, the sky's the limit. If he can't, he'll die young... Sigh, where are you going?"

Fu Qingyang continued walking without stopping. "I'm going to report to the Elder Council and apply for merits and rewards as soon as possible. Before your Taiyi Sect digs into our territory, I have to win them over with virtue. Oh, by the way, if Taiyi Sect wants the strategy for the Jinshui Amusement Park, they'll have to pay."

........

In a villa in Sanzhuang Province.

The morning sun shone through the French windows. Xie Lingxi, wrapped in a bath towel, walked out of the bathroom. Her figure was not fully developed like that of a mature woman, but she had the beauty of youth, with tender and pink knees.

The artificial lake sparkled, reflecting the golden water. Willows were planted by the lake, and it was the season when the branches were tender and green, creating a pleasant scenery.

At this time, luxury cars drove along the lakeside road towards the villa.

"Knock, knock~"

The bedroom door knocked a few times. Xie Lingxi picked up her teacup, took a sip, and spoke in a cold voice, "Come in."

The female assistant, wearing a small suit, pushed open the door and stopped behind her, respectfully saying, "Miss, here are the documents you requested."

Xie Lingxi didn't take them. She sat on the sofa by the French windows, still wrapped in a bath towel, with her legs crossed elegantly. She looked cold and noble, like a female CEO, and said lightly, "Tell me."

The female assistant opened the documents and said, "Wang Tai, member of the Wuxing Alliance Songhai Branch's Health and Wellness Zone Second Team. His superior is Li Dongze, a level 3 scout of the Baihu Army. His profession is a scholar."

"These are basic information. We can only find basic information, such as photos and real identities. We can't find them."

In official organizations, these basic information were public and could be disclosed. They belonged to personnel files.

But real identities, except for direct superiors, only the Elder Council had the authority to access them.

Scholar... Xie Lingxi made a sound of agreement. She had a mature and elegant demeanor as she said, "Go and check the information of the other members of the second team and Wang Tai's social circle. Keep an eye on the official forums of Taiyi Sect and Wuxing Alliance. If there's any news about the Jinshui Amusement Park being cleared, notify me immediately."

The female assistant nodded.

Xie Lingxi continued, "Arrange a car. I'm going to Songhai. Also, send a letter of introduction to the Songhai Branch of the Wuxing Alliance in the name of the Xie family. I want Wang Tai from the second team in the Kangyang Zone to receive me."

The female assistant looked outside the window and hesitated. "The elders of the family are almost here. Shouldn't you meet them first? There's a banquet at noon, and everyone is waiting to celebrate your clearance of the S-level Lingjing."

"They're waiting for the strategy, right?" Xie Lingxi snorted, changing her high and cold demeanor, pretending to be a delicate little girl. "I'm only 17 years old. What's wrong with having some fun? The ancestors love me so much, they won't blame me."

The female assistant sighed helplessly.

.......

After reporting to Shizhang, Zhang Yuanqing changed into his pajamas, messed up his hair, pretended to be sleepy, yawned, turned the doorknob, and walked into the living room.Grandma was in the kitchen, Grandpa had gone out, and Cousin Chen Yuanjun had already had breakfast. Only Jiang Yuer sat crouching on a chair by the dining table, her orchid fingers pinching a fried dough stick.

She liked to purse her lips when chewing, and her cheeks were already round and smooth, making her look like a little hamster eating.

Hearing the sound of the door opening from her nephew's bedroom, Jiang Yuer looked up and called out in a delicate voice:

"I'm going to eat all the fried dough sticks, leaving you with plain porridge..."

Suddenly, she couldn't speak anymore, staring blankly at Zhang Yuanqing.

"What are you staring at?" Zhang Yuanqing sat down beside her.

Jiang Yuer turned her head away, not looking at him.

"Auntie, why are your ears red?"

"None of your business."
