Lu Yibei thanked the heavens that he had facial paralysis because he had almost scread in horror.
Jung was right; there was indeed sothing wrong with his eyes. His eyes peeked over his sunglasses and coupled with his unnerving smile, Yibei felt as if, if he stared at his face for too long, he might go insane.
Is he planning to expose in front of Jiangli? Yibei shivered. However, he couldnt run away or act irrationally, so all he could do was stare back at Li Xuans unblinking eyes.
There was a pregnant silence for about a minute or two, and Jiangli was the first to speak up.
Whats the matter? I dont rember calling you in.
Ah, I was looking for a file, but I couldnt rember where it was, he smiled as he spoke, and his eyes drifted towards Yibei.
The Operators of the Night Division, in addition to their duties of protecting the city, have their own duties to attend to.
For example, An Qing is in charge of performing autopsies on urban legends and training new mbers; Gu Xiliu is in charge of magic and purification ceremonies; and Jiangli is in charge of managent duties, so it wasnt a surprise that Li Xuan would be here to ask her about his files.
But its such a coincidence that he ca at this ti! Even Jiangli thinks its weird that hes here!
Looking towards her, Jiangli was frowning as she stared at Li Xuan. Judging from her expression, she was obviously not very satisfied with his answer.
You couldve just asked Hua.
Ah, she doesnt have enough clearance for that. Im looking for the file relating to the Garden of Peaches.
What for? Jianglis expression suddenly beca serious.
She has heard of the Garden of Peaches, an extrely powerful congloration that is also extrely benign. Its rare to find a group that decides to lay low and not wreak havoc.
However, the Night Division kept a close eye on them.
Do you rember the psychic energy fluctuation a few nights ago? The analysis ca out, and they suspected that it ca from the Garden.
As Li Xuan spoke, his eyes would drift towards Yibei.
Its over, isnt it? He wants to confess my cris, and now Jung is a wanted criminal Should I tell her to run away?
I see, Jiangli slightly nodded. Ill send the file over when Im done with his class.
Thank you, Li Xuan smiled, turning around to leave. By the way, train this boy well. He has potential.
Jiangli didnt respond to Li Xuan and waited until he left the office to ask, Why does he pay so much attention to you? Both of you dont know each other, correct? But I could notice that he was constantly looking at you.
We do know each other. A little bit, at least.
Tell .
There was an urban legend attack at my campus, and I ran over to take a look, but Li Xuan was already there, and he
Hearing this, Jiangli imdiately interrupted and said, And I suppose he threatened you to be more careful?
Wow, I guess he did do that. How did you know?
Thats just his character. He may look smart and gleeful, but hes a shady person.
She recalled back to when she first joined the Night Division, and Li Xuan had kept a file on her for two years straight. Nobody knew about his investigation, but Jiangli deduced that he was investigating her.
Its like Li Xuan is using the Night Division as an excuse to satisfy his perverse desire to know everything.
Forget about him, Jiangli sighed. Lets talk about your runes.
Could you explain what runes are, please?
Although he pretended to ask about his runes, he was panicking inside.
If sothing goes wrong during the process, his real identity might be exposed.
Have you heard of Ifrit? Jiangli asked.
Yes, Charmander!
What are you talking about?
Nothing. Just a joke from a ga.
Well, in short, Ifrit is a legendary being who manipulates fire, and your runes are derived from it.
He shifted uncomfortably in his seat. There was already a terrifying fla that brewed in his body, and now his runes were related to fire as well.
Doesnt this an I can use these runes to hide the witch inside of ?
Does that an that Ill be super powerful? Yibei asked.
I cant guarantee that. Ifrit is powerful, and so are the runes derived from it. I cant guarantee your survival if you were to use these runes and embed them into your soul.
To be honest, she couldnt understand how or why Bai Kai sourced such dangerous runes for his godson to use.
It all depends on whether or not Yibeis body is able to accept these runes.
What?
You might not be able to bear the runes burden.
Is this the real bad news you had for ?
No. The real bad news is that our courier is injured, so your runes wont be here in ti.
How is that bad news? he wailed. I need to find a way to kill him, so he wont be able to deliver those runes! I dont want to die!
