Everyone at headquarters knows that Xia Hongyao is easygoing. Although her older sister is a director, she doesn’t have a shred of arrogance.
"True!"
Lin Baici looked at the passing staff, so of whom were pointing at him: "Are you going to work dressed like that?"
The Security Bureau provides uniforms for all seasons.
It’s sumr now, and all the female employees Lin Baici saw were dressed in dark long trousers, black wedge leather shoes, and white shirts.
Occasionally, so who pursue fashion and sexiness might add a pair of stockings under their trousers, but only Xia Hongyao wears sportswear everywhere.
"I’m not used to those uniforms, and if there’s an urgent mission, wearing sportswear is more convenient!"
Xia Hongyao explained.
"Should I go see your sister first?"
Lin Baici thought to himself, what a waste of a great figure.
Actually, a high ponytail looks great, but it’s all hidden under the sportswear.
Such a waste of a good thing.
If Xia Hongyao went into livestreaming, she wouldn’t need any special talents; just putting on a tight camisole and sitting in front of the cara would suffice to start counting money.
"Whatever!"
Xia Hongyao didn’t say more. Generally, employees wouldn’t dare et Xia Hongmian without a good reason, but Lin Baici is different. With his current status, even if it’s just casual chatting, her sister wouldn’t kick him out.
Lin Baici took the elevator up, and out of courtesy, he went to the director’s office to report to Xia Hongmian first.
"Had enough fun?"
Seeing Lin Baici, Xia Hongmian, holding a cup of coffee, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, lost in thought watching the bustling street below, turned and smiled.
"Yeah!"
Lin Baici smiled lightly, "I heard that in a few days we have a mission at Qin Palace?"
"I thought I’d co look for so materials."
"What’s there to look for?"
Xia Hongyao sat on the sofa: "I’ve morized it all!"
"Besides, it’s just a normal duty, as easy as pie!"
Xia Hongyao was frustrated: "The biggest problem is it’s all mountains and wilderness inside, and we have no entertainnt to pass the ti!"
"It’s like being in prison!"
Near the God’s ruins, the magnetic field gets affected by dark mist, so electronic devices like laptops and phones have unstable signals.
"With that brain of yours, does it matter if you look or not?"
Xia Hongmian retorted at her sister.
"What’s wrong with my brain?"
The high ponytail wasn’t convinced: "I’ve conquered the Busan Divine Ruins, Luoyang Seven Towns, ventured into Dragon Palace Island, and faced Gods, I’m super aweso!"
"Alright, alright, you’re great!"
Xia Hongmian couldn’t be bothered with her sister. She got up to make a cup of coffee for Lin Baici.
"How was the trip to Dragon Palace Island?"
Xia Hongmian chatted casually.
"It was okay; if it weren’t for San Mikami, I wouldn’t have taken the trip!"
Lin Baici didn’t know what Divine Grace Xia Hongmian possessed, but considering her imnse fa as the number one in the Nine Provinces, Lin Baici forced himself not to think about the Dragon Ball.
Lest Xia Hongmian see through him.
After all, the Dragon Ball is probably the most precious treasure of Dragon Palace Island!
After a few more words about Dragon Palace Island, seeing that Lin Baici didn’t want to elaborate, Xia Hongmian shifted the topic to Qin Palace.
"Your main task during this trip to Qinling is to monitor the changes in the dark mist and make records daily!"
Xia Hongmian instructed.
Such tasks surely don’t require Lin Baici to handle personally; he could just assign it to others.
"Although the Qin Palace’s expansion is currently slow, you must not let your guard down!"
Xia Hongmian advised, "And don’t go inside!"
"Help keep an eye on Hongyao!"
Xia Hongmian was worried that her sister with D-level intellect would act impulsively and rush into Qin Palace.
It’s known that since the appearance of Qin Palace Divine Ruins, no one has co out alive.
"Yeah!"
Lin Baici nodded.
"Sis, what do you an by that?"
Xia Hongyao pouted, "Am I that reckless?"
"Do I need to remind you of all the foolish things you’ve done since childhood?"
Xia Hongmian countered.
"Sis, I’m a regint leader after all; can you give so face in front of friends?"
Xia Hongyao felt depressed.
If Little Linzi knew all the stupid things I did, he definitely wouldn’t respect anymore.
Xia Hongmian chuckled as if she could read Xia Hongyao’s mind: "It’s as if I wouldn’t say anything, and Baici wouldn’t already know your true level!"
"Hongyao is quite aweso; she’s a competent regint leader!"
Lin Baici imdiately chid in to ease the mood.
"See..."
Hearing Lin Baici’s words, Xia Hongyao’s spirits lifted, feeling smug.
So what if you’re Director Xia?
Little Linzi is always on my side.
"Alright, alright, you all just go!"
Xia Hongmian didn’t want to continue: "Baici, once you’re in Qinling, do as the situation requires!"
"I’ll take responsibility for any consequences!"
This statent represented absolute trust.
In the following days, Lin Baici ca to the headquarters daily to consult materials, waiting for Haijing Polytechnic to officially start on September 1st.
At 7:40 in the morning, Lin Baici appeared in the classroom.
"Wow, Old White, you actually showed up?"
Zhang Zhixu shouted upon seeing Lin Baici.
Swish!
Many people turned their heads.
"Old White, we haven’t seen you all sumr, and how did you get even more handso?"
Fang Mingyuan joked.
"Sit here!"
Chen Kaiwei made so room.
"Old White has co early, just hadn’t returned to the dormitory!"
Xu Daguan waved, urging Lin Baici to sit quickly.
Hu Wenwu is a studious university student, sitting in the front row, unlike Lin Baici and the others who hung out in the back.
Hearing soone call Lin Baici’s na, Hu Wenwu turned back for a glance.
Lin Baici waved at Hu Wenwu and sat next to Chen Kaiwei.
"Old White, what’s up with Brother Tower?"
Xu Daguan was curious.
"Who’s Brother Tower?"
Lin Baici pretended not to understand.
"Old White, you’re not being fair, can’t you satisfy a brother’s curiosity?"
Xu Daguan complained, "That day Zi Lu ca to , saying you and Brother Tower had a clash; I even tried to diate but got a cursing instead!"
Xu Daguan was showing off, but he actually never approached Hong Shaoyan.
"Brother Tower? You an that quick-handed strear?"
Chen Kaiwei also watched livestreams: "He got banned, not sure why; all videos and everything related got removed, not even clips could be found."
Chen Kaiwei suspiciously looked at Lin Baici: "Do you know why?"
"No idea!"
Lin Baici shook his head.
"Old White, lunch is on , pick any restaurant!"
Xu Daguan pleaded: "Just tell ? Otherwise, I’ll be in the dark, feeling anxious."
Xu Daguan, who does livestreaming, was cautious, but what if one day he slipped and got banned? If Lin Baici had connections, he could plead for help then.
Brother Tower is an internet celebrity, not too big, but not small either, yet disappeared cleanly after the clash with Lin Baici...
The implication is quite frightening.
"I really don’t know!"
Lin Baici spread his hands.
Seeing that he couldn’t get an answer, Xu Daguan had to give up, though he planned on trying to get information from Liu Zilu.
"Alright then!"
Xu Daguan lowered his voice: "I planned to treat us dormmates to dinner yesterday, but you weren’t there, so it got postponed to today!"
"You pick the place!"
"Why bother picking?"
Qian Jiahui yawned, walking in: "Let’s go to the canteen at noon and see the quality of this batch of freshman girls!"
"Jiahui!"
Lin Baici greeted: "What’s up with those dark circles? Watch out for sudden death!"
Qian Jiahui patted Lin Baici’s shoulder, thinking, if you’re about to beco a dad, you’d suffer from insomnia too.
"Brother Qian, are you finally returning to your loyal savannah?"
Xu Daguan teased: "I heard there are so pretty girls in this freshman batch!"
"Prettier than Ji Xinyan?"
Chen Kaiwei was curious.
"Co on, Ji Xinyan is outstanding even in Haijing Drama Academy; comparing her to freshn is just bullying, don’t you know?"
Xu Daguan comnted.
