"Yuan, are you asleep? I'm coming in. Your beautiful and lovely aunt is here..."

Jiang Yu'er didn't knock on the door, she lowered her voice and said sneakily outside the door.

Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath, suppressed his negative emotions, rubbed his face, and whispered, "Come in."

The doorknob turned, and the door opened a crack. Aunt sneaked in and quickly closed the door.

Jiang Yu'er was wearing a white nightgown with lace trim on the collar. Below the knee-length skirt were two white jade-like legs, and her delicate feet were wearing pink slippers with red nail polish.

"Being sneaky," Zhang Yuanqing said irritably.

He thought to himself, I wonder if she thinks I'm having an affair.

It is worth mentioning that after the events of the day, the doctors on duty at the outpatient clinic were given a week-long vacation.

After returning home, Aunt exaggeratedly described the crisis she had experienced and cried to her grandmother, saying, "I almost couldn't see my mother!"

Grandmother was frightened, and the mother and daughter cried in distress.

As a result, Aunt gained her grandmother's sympathy, and her tolerance towards her increased significantly. She couldn't bear to scold her no matter what she did.

Jiang Yu'er walked to the bed in her slippers, sat down with her arms crossed, and asked softly, "Where did you go later? I couldn't find you after the security officer rushed in."

When the security officer rescued the hostages, Zhang Yuanqing had already been taken away for treatment by Li Dongze and others.

Zhang Yuanqing looked at his aunt, her eyes shining with anticipation and excitement, like a little girl who had discovered a secret.

She really is an innocent aunt... Zhang Yuanqing sighed in his heart and said seriously, "It seems that I can't hide my identity anymore. I'll tell you the truth. I'm actually a member of the national superpower special forces. I deal with some evil people lurking in the darkness. I am a student during the day and wander the streets of the city at night, promoting justice and punishing evil."

"Superpower special forces?" Jiang Yu'er covered her mouth with her small hand and whispered.

Zhang Yuanqing: "Yes, in fact, there are many superpower individuals in the world. In order to maintain social harmony and stability, we have to conceal our identities and become nameless heroes. I awakened my powers a long time ago and joined the superpower special forces, becoming a member of the nameless heroes. According to the organization's regulations, I cannot expose my identity, but since you have already discovered it, I can only be honest with you. You must keep it a secret."

Aunt nodded repeatedly, "I understand, I signed a confidentiality agreement today."

She became more and more excited, but then frowned and showed a worried expression, "Yuan, this superpower special forces seems very dangerous."

"Don't worry!" Zhang Yuanqing sneered, "Don't be fooled by my young age. I am actually a high-ranking member. The entire Songhai superpower department respects my opinions and follows my commands. You saw it today, I handled everything by myself."

"Are you really that powerful?" Aunt finally felt relieved, her face full of admiration.

As if she had just met her nephew again.

Zhang Yuanqing remained calm on the surface, but he enjoyed his aunt's admiration in his heart.

"Can I awaken my powers too?" Jiang Yu'er asked with great longing.

... Zhang Yuanqing shook his head, "Not to boast, but awakening powers depends on talent. Only people with exceptional talent like me can awaken their powers. If you haven't awakened by the age of eighteen, it's basically a sign of no talent."

After saying that, he saw his aunt pouting her cheeks, showing a disappointed expression.

"You're amazing..." Jiang Yu'er said admiringly.

She believed it all. I saw admiration and worship in her eyes. No wonder those frauds can deceive people... Zhang Yuanqing coughed and said, "You must not reveal it. Our line of work is very dangerous, and we must always be on guard against the retaliation of evil people. If our identities are exposed, it will affect our families."

"Like drug enforcement officers?"

"Yes."

Aunt asked many more questions, and Zhang Yuanqing answered them calmly. When Aunt asked him to demonstrate his superpowers, Zhang Yuanqing solemnly refused, saying, "A great person once said that superpowers are not for show. We only use our full strength to strike at evil."

Hmm, that great person is me!

"What about the salary?" Aunt asked almost everything and suddenly remembered the salary, so she quickly added.

When it came to this, Zhang Yuanqing became excited. He thought to himself, I have over two million in my possession, but no one to show off to.

He deliberately spoke in a slow tone and said, "The income is pretty good. In just five months this year, I earned five million."

Praise me, worship me! He whispered in his heart.

Aunt exclaimed, "Five million? If you save it for a few years, you'll be wealthier than your uncle's wife."

Zhang Yuanqing said firmly, "In our line of work, money is secondary. The main thing is to serve the country and benefit the people."

Aunt happily said, "Then I can spend your money in the future. After all, you don't have a girlfriend."

What are you thinking, woman! Zhang Yuanqing scoffed, "No, my money is meant to benefit the people, not for you to buy clothes and bags."

"You stingy!"

"Watch your tone, woman. Sitting next to you is a millionaire."

Jiang Yu'er stayed in his room until two in the morning before reluctantly leaving.Phew, finally got through it! Zhang Yuanqing showed off in front of his aunt, gaining admiration and envy, and his mood inexplicably improved. The frustration from today's defeat seemed to have disappeared without him realizing it, and he felt relaxed all over.

Indeed, one must still show off, as showing off can relieve pain... He covered himself with a blanket, preparing to fall asleep. Tomorrow, he would go and meet... meet Guan Ya. This kind of "comforting" thing had to be done by her. He wondered if the Xie family would change their attitude towards him because of Li Xianzong's matter.

He still had to go to work these few days, but he had to disguise himself. He needed to learn some martial arts from Guan Ya. He didn't have time or motivation, he couldn't delay any longer...

Before the third instance opened, he must improve his martial arts skills and defeat Li Xianzong when he returned... He hoped that Elder Dog would bring back the Red Dancing Shoes as soon as possible...

As he thought about it, he fell into a deep sleep.

In the early morning of the capital city, the first ray of sunlight shone down, and the pagoda tree in the courtyard stretched out in the morning light, its tender green leaves shimmering with a colorful halo.

A gentle breeze blew, causing the branches and leaves to sway, emitting the sound of children playing and laughing.

The recliner under the pagoda tree was empty, its owner had not rested there for many days.

Suddenly, the scenery in the courtyard distorted and rippled, and a figure appeared out of thin air on the recliner.

This person had white hair, a white sweatshirt, and big underpants, no different from an ordinary old man in the capital city.

But after he appeared, his skin cracked open, and scorching golden light gushed out from his body, spewing out from his pupils, mouth, and nostrils.

The old man's body quickly carbonized, and within a few seconds, it turned into a charred corpse.

The scorching golden light burned the leaves of the pagoda tree, causing the "children" hiding in the tree to let out fearful cries.

After a dozen seconds, the charred corpse opened its eyes, chunks of carbonized skin fell off, revealing fresh and tender flesh.

The heart in the chest cavity began to beat again, and Elder Sun slowly exhaled a breath of impure air, saying:

A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.

"Go get clothes for this old man, you bunch of blind idiots."

A gust of cold wind rushed out from the treetops, pushed open the window, and in an instant, the cold wind carried the sweatshirt, underpants, and big underpants, swaying and floated out.

Elder Sun shook off the carbonized flesh, changed into clean clothes, and said again, "Go find Xiao Wang."

The cold wind that brought the clothes did not leave, but returned to the treetops. Then, from the lush branches and leaves, a childish argument could be heard:

"You go, it's your turn."

"I won't go..."

After a few seconds, one side compromised and turned into a cold wind, floating out of the courtyard.

Elder Sun lay on the rocking chair, closed his eyes to rest, his face slightly pale, and his eye bags swollen.

A few minutes later, hurried footsteps approached. A middle-aged man dressed in black clothes and pants, led by the cold wind, crossed the threshold and entered the courtyard.

"Elder Sun, you finally came out." Xiao Wang exclaimed in surprise.

Elder Sun responded with a grunt, "Contact Elder Dog from the Songhai branch, I have something to discuss with him."

Among the five major organizations of the Wuxing Alliance, the Baihu Army and the Baihua Society were the closest, so Elder Dog and Elder Sun were usually very close.

"Elder Dog is in the capital city. He came yesterday and has been waiting for you."

Elder Sun opened his eyes, "He's in the capital city? Go and invite him over." The middle-aged man in black clothes left, and about half an hour later, a curly-haired Teddy Bear, walking with elegant steps and a proud head, arrived at the courtyard.

The middle-aged man followed behind, holding a silver tray with a pair of gray and worn-out red dancing shoes on it, as if they had been abandoned by their owner for many years.

"I calculated with my fingers, you should have come out of the Lingjing recently." Elder Dog examined him and said with a slight surprise, "Are you seriously injured? Do you need my help to heal?"

Of course, Elder Sun wouldn't miss the opportunity to use a healing sorcerer. He said, "Thank you! Heh, although the Night Wanderer has good self-healing abilities, the injuries I sustained this time are a bit different."

The Teddy Bear nodded slightly and walked slowly to the side of the rocking chair, lifting one paw and pressing it on Elder Sun's leg.

Bright but not dazzling green light rose, casting a layer of bright green color over the courtyard. Elder Sun, bathed in the green light, gradually turned rosy, and the swollen eye bags subsided.

"Phew."

Elder Sun let out a refreshing breath and said, "It's enough, you came to the capital city for something?"

Elder Dog put down his paw and said lightly, "It's not a request, just asking you for a small favor. I just treated you, so consider it as payment."

As he spoke, he turned around and gestured for the middle-aged man to come forward.

The man approached with the tray, and Elder Dog said, "This item has been contaminated by witchcraft."

Elder Sun stared at the red dancing shoes, feeling a strange familiarity, but couldn't quite place it.

"No problem!"

Without much thought, Elder Sun extended his hand, his palm hovering above the red dancing shoes. Clear and scorching golden light gushed out, bathing the red dancing shoes in the golden light. The shoes twisted and distorted, shedding the gray and worn-out colors on the surface, as if the stains had been washed away, quickly revealing their newness.

After a few seconds, they became brand new again.

The red dancing shoes happily jumped off the tray and bounced around the courtyard.

Quite lively, it's a tool with self-awareness... At first, Elder Sun thought it was expressing joy at "escaping from captivity," until he saw a message floating above the red dancing shoes: [Would you like to dance with me? If you're willing, please take a step in place.]

"Huh, where did the person go?"He suddenly realized that these shoes were looking for someone, but they couldn't find the target, so they wandered around the yard.

At the same time, Sun Zhanglao finally understood why he felt familiar. These shoes were the rule-based props in the She Ling Tunnel, in accordance with the records in the old version of the strategy.

In other words, its owner is the Primordial Heavenly Venerable!

Sun Zhanglao withdrew his gaze and looked at Teddy, saying in a deep voice:

"These shoes belong to the Primordial Heavenly Venerable?"

Elder Dog nodded.

"I was about to find you guys from the Five Elements..." Sun Zhanglao paused and said, "I encountered the Three Dao Mountain Goddess in the exclusive Ling Realm of the Night God. It was she who injured me."

Elder Dog raised his eyebrows.

"That goddess is very powerful. I almost couldn't come back, but I also gained something. I roughly know why she is looking for the Primordial Heavenly Venerable," Sun Zhanglao sighed:

"That kid took away the Three Dao Mountain Goddess's Yang Soul. Without that part of the Yang Soul, she cannot continue to advance, let alone break through the Ling Realm."

Elder Dog's face showed a human-like change, shocked, astonished, and ecstatic.

That kid actually controlled the Yang Soul of the ancient Day God.

This is something that most rule-based props cannot compare to.

Sun Zhanglao coughed and got straight to the point: "The Three Dao Mountain Goddess will definitely try everything to retrieve the Yang Soul. The Primordial Heavenly Venerable's level is too low to bear this cause and effect.

The Taiyi Sect is willing to trade, and the conditions can be freely negotiated."

Elder Dog fell silent.

Sun Zhanglao frowned, somewhat surprised: "You don't want to? The Five Elements Alliance doesn't have the Night God. Her Yang Soul is of little use to you, and you can't even see her."

"We don't need it, but the Primordial Heavenly Venerable does. Keeping the Three Dao Mountain Goddess's Yang Soul, when he becomes the Dominator in the future, he will naturally be able to bear this cause and effect," Elder Dog said.

Sun Zhanglao looked astonished: "Do you have such high expectations for him? Do you know how difficult it is to ascend to the Dominator?

Ah!" Elder Dog sighed, "He is the next key cultivation target of the Five Elements Alliance. As long as he passes the physical examination, we will spare no effort to cultivate him."

"For..." Sun Zhanglao couldn't understand.

Elder Dog said, "Because he cleared two S-level Ling Realms, because he was recently awarded an A-level merit. Moreover, with this cause and effect, he is even more worthy of cultivation, isn't he?"

Sun Zhanglao was stunned, staring at Elder Dog: "A-level merit, are you not joking with me?

With the difficulty of an A-level merit, it would require killing a Dominator-level evil profession or solving a major crisis, capturing important props. Only an elder at the Dominator level can achieve these. How could a low-level walker do it?

Elder Dog glanced at him, saying with some pity, "Old Sun, you're confused!"

"What am I confused about?" Sun Zhanglao didn't understand, and once again felt that this sentence was familiar. Just as he was about to ask, the red dancing shoes clattered over and stopped in front of the rocking chair.

A message appeared:

[Would you like to dance with me? If you do, please step in place.]

Sun Zhanglao waved his hand, making a shooing gesture, and continued the previous topic: "If you can't make the decision, I can let the Sect Master and the Female Marshal communicate...

Before he could finish his sentence, Sun Zhanglao was kicked in the head by a big boot, leaving him dumbfounded.

He turned his head in astonishment and looked at the red dancing shoes beside the rocking chair.

In this day and age, there are actually props that dare to hit him on the head?

Sun Zhanglao's shooing gesture just now triggered the attack rule of the red dancing shoes. It won't go easy on anyone who doesn't dance with it.

Bang bang... The red dancing shoes jumped onto Sun Zhanglao and launched a follow-up attack. It was powerful and heavy, stomping on the old man's body.

Elder Dog's gaze was full of pity: "Did you forget the rules of these dancing shoes?"

"If you don't dance with it, it will...kill you," Sun Zhanglao remembered.

"Its pursuit ignores obstacles, cannot escape, cannot be destroyed, unless you dance with it," Elder Dog added.

Elder Dog's gaze was mocking as he said, "I didn't expect to have the honor of appreciating Elder Sun's dance. I can give you some time to dance."

Sun Zhanglao snorted, "Such a crude rule."

He closed his eyes and let the red dancing shoes trample on him. His spiritual body detached from his physical body.

Sun Zhanglao's breath disappeared instantly, his heart stopped beating, without any signs of life.

For the Night God, detaching the spiritual body is a routine operation. After consciousness leaves the body, the physical body will enter a state of false death.

The frequency of the red dancing shoes' trampling slowed down. It stopped beside the rocking chair and observed for a few seconds. Suddenly, it flew up and kicked with a big boot, but Sun Zhanglao had no reaction.

Seeing that he had already died, the red dancing shoes immediately changed direction and clattered over to Elder Dog's side. A message appeared:

[Would you like to dance with me? If you do, please step in place.]

...Elder Dog's dog face suddenly froze.

Sun Zhanglao's spiritual body returned to its place, opened his eyes, and said mockingly, "I didn't expect to have the honor of appreciating your dance. I can give you some time to dance."

Elder Dog sneered, "It's as if I have no means. Can these dancing shoes harm me at all? Alright, my business in the capital has been resolved. It's time to go back to Songhai.

I won't agree to give you the Three Dao Mountain Goddess's Yang Soul unless the Alliance Leader agrees."

With a cold snort, he walked away with an elegant stride, enduring the stomping of the boots, quickly leaving.Watching Teddy disappear beyond the courtyard gate, Sun Zhanglao withdrew his gaze, furrowed his brows and pondered for a moment before suddenly asking:

"What happened while I was away? How did the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign earn an A-level merit?"

The middle-aged man in black, relieved that the pair of shoes hadn't targeted him, informed Sun Zhanglao of the recent events.

"I see," Sun Zhanglao said, surprised. "That young man's growth rate is indeed unexpected. I regret not recruiting him earlier..."

He paused, suddenly understanding what Elder Dog meant by 'confused'.

Sun Zhanglao fell silent, then cautiously asked:

"Have there been any rumors about me in the sect recently?"

The middle-aged man in black looked conflicted. Under Sun Zhanglao's gaze, he reluctantly took out his phone, opened the Night Wanderer's official website, and typed into the search bar: Sun Zhanglao is confused!

Then he carefully handed over the phone: "You can see for yourself."

Sun Zhanglao took the phone with a mix of confusion and seriousness. He saw that there were over two hundred posts containing the phrase "Sun Zhanglao is confused" on the forum.

The respected elder's hand began to tremble slightly.

He scrolled through the posts, all of which accused Sun Zhanglao of being confused and missing out on talent. Gradually, "Sun Zhanglao is confused" became a special phrase used by the Taiyi sect's Night Wanderers to express their deep emotions.

When they were in a bad mood, heartbroken, or angry, they would say: "Sun Zhanglao is confused!"

Sun Zhanglao's hand trembled more violently.

As he continued to scroll, he found that the first few posts of "Sun Zhanglao is confused" all came from the same person, the same name:

Yuan Ting!

"How dare they! These bastards are spreading rumors about me on the forum."

"Well, not only on the forum..." the middle-aged man in black said.

"Hmm?" Sun Zhanglao looked at him.

"They're also spreading rumors about you in the chat group."

Sun Zhanglao was furious: "Summon Yuan Ting to me. If I don't see him tonight, I'll personally go to Songhai to break his legs."

"Sun Zhanglao is confused!"

In the Night Wanderer's chat group, Yuan Ting habitually expressed his feelings, then continued:

"I believe that even though the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign nearly died at the hands of Li Xianzong yesterday, it doesn't mean he lacks potential. We all know how big the gap between level 2 and level 3 is, not to mention Li Xianzong has experienced more Spirit Realms and has more tools.

Jian Ji: "Yuan Ting, you should also be careful. If Li Xianzong can't find the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, he will try to hunt other level 3 walkers. You are a Night Wanderer, your bounty will be higher than other lawful professions."

Yuan Ting: "Hehe, I will let him know how powerful a level 3 Night Wanderer is."

While they were chatting, an incoming call replaced the group chat interface.

"Wang Zhishi is looking for me?"

Seeing the name in the note, Yuan Ting was stunned. Wang Zhishi was Sun Zhanglao's assistant and confidant, and he didn't have much interaction with him.

Although everyone had exchanged contact information, there was rarely a chance to call each other throughout the year.

Yuan Ting answered the call and said, "Wang Zhishi, what can I do for you?"

Wang Zhishi's deep voice came through the speaker: "Yuan Ting, Sun Zhanglao is back. He knows about you guys spreading rumors about him and he's very angry. He specifically asked to see you.

"You... what can I say... sigh, good luck."

"Do I still have time to write my will..." Yuan Ting felt himself slowly turning to stone, his face full of despair.

PS: Oh no, my schedule is messed up again. Time to sleep, I'll correct any mistakes tomorrow.
