Chapter 66

It has to be said, being with her is indeed comfortable, Zhang Yuanqing mused in his heart.

He seemed to see a female version of himself, handsome in appearance, strong in ability, and with a pleasant voice.

After pondering for a few seconds, he slowly nodded:

"Since it's just to convey a message, I can take you."

Although this girl has a bit of a stalking intention, after all, they don't know each other well, her concerns are understandable. At least it shows that Xie Lingxi, despite her flirtatious nature, is a person who knows how to repay kindness.

"Thank you, Brother Yuanshi," Xie Lingxi smiled, then put away her smile and said seriously:

"I remember you were supposed to find a master called 'Wuhen.' Before coming to Songhai, I looked up this person, but there was no relevant information."

Zhang Yuanqing responded with a "hmm": "There's no information in the Five Elements Alliance's database either, but if this 'Wuhen' master is an ordinary person, Guiruren would not avoid you, an 'official person.' I suspect Wuhen is an evil profession."

Both of them had thought of this point, so after "logging out," they each used their own channels to investigate this person.

Xie Lingxi's eyes sparkled, delighted that her guess was confirmed, and said:

"I thought the same. But I believe the other party and Guiruren belong to the same category."

"But it still carries risks."

"Brother Yuanshi, the risk should be within a controllable range. If the risk was significant, Guiruren wouldn't have entrusted you before dying. Since he did, he must have been confident."

Xie Lingxi specifically came to Songhai, realizing that 'Master Wuhen' might belong to an evil profession, fearing that he would be turned into a KPI by 'Brother Wang Tai.' She wanted to repay Guiruren's life-saving grace.

Zhang Yuanqing agreed because he thought that Miss Xie's side would likely have Spirit Realm Walkers for protection. Having her around could mitigate the risks.

"When will you finish your business?"

"Tomorrow, I'll visit the palace master, and I'll be free the day after."

Xie Lingxi held a small spoon, scooped a piece of dessert, and while savoring the deliciousness, propped her cheek and gazed at the young man opposite her.

"Brother Yuanshi, you're really amazing. You've cleared two S-level Spirit Realms in a row; I admire you so much."

Knowing that he was a complete novice, she didn't mention his claim of being an experienced Spirit Realm Walker, which is high emotional intelligence. Zhang Yuanqing also took a bite of the dessert.

Thinking about her flattery and charm, he couldn't help but marvel at how this young girl, despite her age, was quite sophisticated.

Such a girl, who admires and flatters you, is actually the most difficult to deal with because you can't easily refuse her. Most men would be completely charmed.

But Zhang Yuanqing is not an ordinary person; he is a social bull.

"Sister Lingxi, look, the moon tonight is beautiful. Since you admire me so much, why don't I stay and enjoy the moon with you tonight? What's your room number?"

"Brother Yuanshi, I, I'm still a child," Xie Lingxi blushed.

"Coincidentally, I'm also a child."

Xie Lingxi sighed inwardly. She liked to use a step-back-to-advance strategy to control the situation. Who could refuse a girl who admires you and makes reasonable requests?

First, make the man feel good, then you can control him.

Although she had never been in a relationship, she was well-versed in the art of interacting with men. Her mother was a master of this, capable of soothing her husband after a slap and making him feel like the master of the house.

Xie Lingxi, influenced by her mother, had learned about 70-80% of her skills and used them effectively against elders and peers.

But it didn't seem to work on Brother Yuanshi.

He would use her flattery to his advantage and turn the tables on her.

Of course, Xie Lingxi did admire this boy who was not much older than herself.

"Exchange contact information; I'll come find you the morning after tomorrow."

After exchanging phone numbers with her, Zhang Yuanqing left the hotel.

On his way home in a business car, Zhang Yuanqing called Li Dongze.

"Team Leader, I've left the hotel and am on my way home."

Li Dongze clearly relaxed and then smiled, teasing:

"So, should I call you Xie's son-in-law? Both Guan Ya and I can see that the young miss has a good impression of you."

Zhang Yuanqing sighed:

"Compared to being Xie's son-in-law, I'd rather be Guan's son-in-law."

Li Dongze was taken aback and said in his usual tone:

"Then you need to work harder."

Li Dongze realized that Yuanqing was probing Guan Ya's identity. How did he know Guan Ya was not ordinary? Currently, Yuanqing only knew that Guan Ya was different but didn't know her relationship with Captain Fu.

Zhang Yuanqing laughed it off and changed the topic, then said seriously:

"I'm going out with Xie's little girl the day after tomorrow, and I should be back in about a day."

"Since she specifically asked for you, take good care of her." Li Dongze didn't object.

Zhang Yuanqing felt relieved. Team Leader's lack of objection indicated that the Xie family had a good reputation.

He then inquired about the second matter:

"Team Leader, after clearing the Jinshui Amusement Park, I successfully advanced to level 2 and received a decent reward."

Advancing to level 2, Li Dongze sighed:

"Advancing a level with each mission, your advancement speed is truly enviable. Yes, just the speed of advancement. The fact that you frequently match with S-level Spirit Realms is pitiful. So?"

"I want to join the operation to capture the Black Wuchang. One reason is to contribute to the second team's achievements, and the other is to hone myself." Zhang Yuanqing quickly said.

Li Dongze didn't object but hesitated:

"Level 2 Night Roamers have stronger combat power than other professions at the same level. You do have the qualifications to participate. However, the person in charge is an executive, and I can't make the decision. I'll report to Captain Fu tomorrow and see his decision."

"Thank you, Team Leader."

After hanging up, Zhang Yuanqing glanced out the window and noticed that the driver was taking the wrong elevated road. He frowned and asked:

"What's going on?"

The driver in the front seat responded:

"Taking a detour to avoid being followed."

Avoiding being followed, hmm, my reputation is growing, and many people in Kangyang District's Second Team know me. In the future, I need to be cautious about being followed when traveling between work and home. Zhang Yuanqing noted this detail.

An hour later, the driver dropped him off at the residential complex. Zhang Yuanqing took the elevator to his floor and, like usual, climbed through the window into his bedroom.

His ears twitched, hearing intense fighting sounds coming from the bedroom.

Sighing, he chose to enter through the front door, carefully opened the security door, and saw that his grandmother wasn't waiting in the living room to ambush him. He felt relieved and turned the bedroom door.

In the bedroom, Jiang Yujie was sitting cross-legged in front of the TV, holding the controller and playing a game.

Hearing the door open, Jiang Yujie gritted her teeth and said:

"The SS in the game is a boy who doesn't go home after school, always hanging out outside. I want to kill him."

"I'll help you kill him." Zhang Yuanqing shamelessly joined in.

"Get lost!"

Jiang Yujie twisted her waist, her upper body still, and continued to hold the controller, kicking her long legs behind her, showing impressive waist strength.

Zhang Yuanqing grabbed her cold little feet and gently lifted them, causing her to "ah" and fall backward.

He then sat down, picked up the other controller, and restarted the game.

Jiang Yujie sat up straight, rubbed the mole at the corner of her eye, and huffed:

"Where have you been hanging out?"

The two sat side by side, staring at the TV, playing the game while talking:

"Today, I had dinner with a high school girl. When she heard I was from Songhai University, she admired me so much that she insisted on pulling me to a hotel to help her with her homework. It was a five-star hotel, but I couldn't afford a room."

"So you came back?"

"No, I made her pay."

"You go to hell."

At 7:30 in the morning.

At the dining table, Jiang Yujie was biting a fried dough stick, listless, her head nodding like a hen pecking at rice.

"Didn't you stay up late again? I told you no staying up late on weekdays. Is my word no longer effective?"

The grandmother scolded her daughter. At this moment, her grandson yawned and walked out of his room.

The grandmother coldly huffed, still angry about yesterday's incident, but didn't want to make a scene in front of the family. She went to the kitchen and brought hot porridge for her grandson, calling it a farewell meal.

A few minutes later, seeing her daughter and grandson sitting side by side, nodding their heads, the grandmother became furious:

"What did you do last night?!"

"Jiang Yujie insisted on coming to my room to play games."

"Zhang Yuanqing insisted on me coming to his room to play games."

They said in unison.

Then they started fighting, Zhang Yuanqing pulling Jiang Yujie's hair, and Jiang Yujie scratching his face.

The grandfather and cousin were used to it and calmly ate their breakfast.

Two days later, at 8:00 in the morning, Zhang Yuanqing, who had sent a text message in advance, took a taxi to the Huayu Hotel. He didn't wait long before Xie Lingxi came out of the revolving door.

She was wearing black athletic pants, a white T-shirt, a white women's jacket, and white running shoes.

Lightweight athletic wear.

Her long black hair was tied into a ponytail, swaying as she jogged.

Notably, she was wearing a white, delicate over-ear headphone, making it look like she was going for a run.

"Brother Yuanshi, I've asked the driver to get the car."

Xie Lingxi stopped in front of him, smiling sweetly.

"Did you see the palace master?" Zhang Yuanqing asked curiously.

Xie
