Chapter 63

In the room, Liu Hong stared intently at the little girl before her, her eyes not blinking. With her three years of teaching experience, she was certain that this little girl must know something about the inside story.

This sudden change made Liu Hong somewhat flustered, but she couldn't afford to care about that anymore, because she really wanted to know who the fifth person was and how they managed to evade her "Netherworld Perception."

This was very important to her!

For a moment, an eerie atmosphere spread throughout the room.

Chen Xing timidly hid behind her sister, Chen Yue, unsure of how to deal with the intimidating beauty before her.

"Have you seen that piece of paper before somewhere?"

Liu Hong tried to make her tone as gentle as possible, but the urgency in her expression became increasingly evident.

If she knew that at that moment, Chen Xing and Chen Yue had dozens of similar pieces of paper in their possession, she would surely have a different expression.

Seeing her sister's anxiety, Chen Yue took a step forward to block Liu Hong's view, her eyes unwaveringly staring directly at Liu Hong, as if to say, "We have nothing to tell you."

Liu Hong's expression turned serious. Through the little girl's determined gaze, she knew that no matter how much she pressed, it would be futile.

Liu Hong returned to her normal state and moved away, but her suspicion grew even more.

"Since these two little girls know about the paper, and they are that boy's family, could it be that..."

The previous guess resurfaced, making Liu Hong's heart race!

At this moment, a woman's intuition and her experience collided fiercely, leaving Liu Hong unsure which to believe.

Meng Laikai observed everything, but strangely, he didn't say a word, remaining silent as if he were an outsider.

His gaze, however, kept switching between the paper on the table and the faces of the twin sisters, making it hard to guess what he was thinking.

It wasn't until Liu Hong left with the three unexpected guests that Meng Laikai muttered to himself, "Could this piece of paper be related to the General's Mansion? Could the fifth mysterious person be a skilled expert from the General's Mansion?"

This guess wasn't impossible. The young master of the General's Mansion was studying here, and there was no reason not to have a skilled expert secretly protecting him.

However, there was one thing Meng Laikai couldn't understand: why would that expert severely injure that man?

The General's Mansion did have many skilled experts, but none had reached the level of a Battle Ancestor, not even Dongfang Long, known as the "Iron-Faced General." How could they possibly injure a Battle Ancestor like Mad Slave?

But Meng Laikai naturally wouldn't know these details, as he had never met Dongfang Long and knew very little about the situation inside the General's Mansion.

※※※※※※※※

Under the guidance of Teacher Liu Hong, Zhao Hu and the others headed towards the dormitory where Dongfang Xuzhe was staying.

Liu Hong occasionally glanced back at the twin sisters, who were still on guard, pondering how to get some useful information from them. Before she knew it, they had already arrived at their destination.

"Master!"

When Dongfang Xuzhe came out of the room, Chen Yue and Chen Xing, who had been expressionless just a moment ago, immediately flew towards him.

They say "a short separation is like a new romance," and it seemed to be true...

Two days passed in a flash.

Tomorrow, Zhao Hu and the others would return to the General's Mansion. To cherish the last bit of time together, Dongfang Xuzhe decided to take a walk around the town.

Despite staying here for several months, he was not familiar with the town at all, wandering around like a country bumpkin.

Before they knew it, it was noon, and it was time for lunch.

"I know a good restaurant, let me take you there!" Dongfang Xuzhe said, leading the way.

Inside the Drunken Fragrance Restaurant, it was packed with diners, as it was mealtime.

On the second floor, by the window, a young man was savoring some small dishes while leisurely enjoying the view outside.

"This restaurant has the most authentic food!" Ren Tianxing muttered to himself as he chewed.

Who would have thought that the mysterious figure known as the "Thief King" would dare to sit here so boldly?

This wasn't because Ren Tianxing was "bold and daring," but because he always disguised himself during his operations, and no one had ever seen his true face.

Of course, there was one exception: the little demon who could scare Ren Tianxing even in his dreams!

Apart from that little demon, Ren Tianxing wasn't afraid of encountering anyone!

Just as he was enjoying his meal, a familiar voice suddenly drifted into his ears, like a cold arrow piercing his heart, making him shiver.

He nervously scanned the surrounding diners but didn't see the little demon he least wanted to encounter!

"Looks like I'm too nervous. How could such a coincidence happen? I really need to rest..." He laughed at himself, raised his chopsticks, and was about to continue eating when the voice came again.

"Big brother, what a coincidence, we meet again!"

This time, the voice was very clear, and Ren Tianxing knew it wasn't an illusion. His body hair stood on end.

Stiffly, he stretched his neck out of the window. When his eyes met the small figure at the restaurant entrance, he almost fell out of the window.

"Heaven, could it be this coincidental?"

Ren Tianxing's good mood vanished instantly, and his face turned as ugly as it could be.

"Big brother, we really have a connection, meeting again here!"

Dongfang Xuzhe squinted his eyes, a fox-like smile on his lips, waving to Ren Tianxing on the second floor.

"Connection my ass! Who would want to have a connection with you!"

Ren Tianxing was on the verge of tears, wishing he had stayed hungry rather than come here to eat.

Zhao Hu also looked up at Ren Tianxing on the second floor, feeling a sense of familiarity. After a moment's thought, he finally remembered: wasn't this the skilled expert who saved the young master from the bandits that night?

Indeed, it was quite a coincidence!

"Brother, we meet again. I really have to thank you for your bravery that night!"

When they reached the second floor, Zhao Hu couldn't wait to express his gratitude.

Ren Tianxing forced a smile, saying, "You flatter me," while his mind raced to think of a way to escape.

"Great, there's still a seat here. Big brother, you don't mind us sitting here, do you?" Dongfang Xuzhe smiled at Ren Tianxing.

"Of course—no, not at all, hehe~"

Ren Tianxing felt his lips almost cramping, never before had he felt so insincere.

After they sat down, Dongfang Xuzhe's gaze suddenly changed, his eyebrows furrowing.

What did he see?
