Afternoon, the Huacheng Folk Culture Research Administration.
In front of the office building, Li Xuan, dressed in white, sat leaning under a pavilion in the small garden, leisurely flipping through docunts.
If soone unfamiliar with him were to see him from a distance, just looking at his gentle, ancient-style handso appearance would even give them the illusion of having traveled through ti.
After a mont, Li Xuan put down the docunt in his hand, raised his head, and looked at the cluster of blooming balloon flowers, sighing with a smile, "This is great!" In the past month, Bai Kai took a long leave, Jiang Li went to the Si Ye Hui Headquarters to complete her Spirit Mark advancent, and Lu Yibei, after sending Hua Sang back to Da Chunyang Palace, has been staying there and refusing to return. Everyone he didn't get along with is gone.
His Master, who had been angry with him for a long ti, also forgave him and even thoughtfully sent him a package of dumplings he had personally made.
Calculating the ti, the package should arrive today, right?
He just felt that his little life had suddenly beco wonderful! It's just...
Why do I feel a little empty inside? Like sothing is missing.
As Li Xuan thought this, he slightly furrowed his brow. Just then, Lu Yibei's voice sounded in his ear. "Little Li Zi, is this your package?"
That guy is back? Impossible! Why didn't anyone tell ?
Li Xuan didn't turn his head, perhaps thinking he was hallucinating, or perhaps unwilling to face reality. Not until Lu Yibei handed the package box to him...
"Here! I just passed by the convenience store at the alley entrance where they receive packages, saw it, and brought it over for you."
Damn it, who told you to touch the dumplings my Master gave ? Li Xuan looked at Lu Yibei, his face darkening, his expression like a bear cub throwing a tantrum because his beloved toy was taken away.
Lu Yibei, "... I kindly helped him get his package, what's wrong with this guy? Is his tire repair annual card at the auto repair shop about to expire and he's rushing to use it up?"
Staring at Lu Yibei for a few seconds, Li Xuan seed to suddenly think of sothing, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. He opened the package box and took out the vacuum-sealed bag of dumplings.
"See? These are the dumplings my Master sent . It's Master's love!" Lu Yibei was stunned for a mont, then nodded.
He saw them. They looked a bit familiar. He felt like he had seen them sowhere before.
"Ah—! It feels so good to be rembered and cared for!" Li Xuan muttered with a sigh while secretly observing Lu Yibei. "Those guys who aren't cared for must be very lonely, right?"
You brat, I have soone who cares for , do you?!
Li Xuan thought proudly, as if to further show off to Lu Yibei, he slightly lifted his chin, and in front of Lu Yibei, tore open the vacuum-sealed bag and took out a dumpling.
Just as he was about to put it in his mouth, he noticed Lu Yibei's slightly parted lips, looking like he wanted to say sothing but was hesitant. "What? Is there sothing you want to say?"
Lu Yibei shook his head expressionlessly, "No."
"Hehe!" Li Xuan sneered, picked up the dumpling, and stuffed it into his mouth. I know you feel bad, but what can you do?
Muttering internally, after chewing a few tis, a series of wonderful changes appeared on Li Xuan's face.
His smile gradually disappeared, then his face stiffened as if petrified, followed by his muscles beginning to twitch, his face turning pale, and his eyebrows almost twisting into a Chinese knot.
That feeling was as if he wasn't eating a dumpling, but a preserved plum soaked in aged vinegar for eighty-one days. However, even so, he bit the bullet and swallowed the chewed dumpling.
It was awful, and it burned his throat, but it was his Master's "care" after all. No matter how bad it tasted, he had to eat it! Lu Yibei rested his chin on one hand, observed Li Xuan for a mont, and nodded with satisfaction.
Alright, judging by his expression, it's basically confird that these are the dumplings I made. His Master sending him these dumplings... it's probably not care, but wanting him to die, right?
It's strange though, they were all common ingredients. Although mixing them together to make dumplings was a bit dark, it shouldn't be so awful, should it?
Turtle Girl even successfully got that Big King turtle to bite it once using these dumplings. There must be so other reason for this. Lu Yibei thought.
Just as he was thinking, Li Xuan finally recovered, and with difficulty, squeezed out a teasing smile at Lu Yibei, "How about it, jealous?"
"Not jealous at all." Lu Yibei said expressionlessly.
Li Xuan waved his hand and pouted, "Stop pretending. If you want so, I can share with you—"
"These dumplings were made by before I left Da Chunyang Palace, as a farewell gift for them. The taste is quite ordinary. It's really hard on you to eat one completely." Lu Yibei said.
Li Xuan, "???"
He made them? Farewell gift? So he knew this stuff tasted so bad? "Why didn't you T tell earlier?!"
Lu Yibei looked at Li Xuan, still expressionless, but a knowing smile appeared in his eyes, "I originally wanted to say sothing, but I couldn't interrupt you experiencing Master's care, so I held back."
Alright, you keep experiencing Master's care here. I need to look up so information, so I'll go in first." With that, he shrugged and turned to walk towards the office building.
Li Xuan watched Lu Yibei's back, remained silent for a few seconds, then suddenly called out, "Lu Yibei! I suddenly feel like you're very similar to the recently infamous Strange Tale, Disaster!"
"Disaster" has caused a lot of big news recently, and the discussion about it on the Night Watch internal forum is quite high.
As an old hand who has been active on the internal forum for years, and an official operative stationed in the area where Disaster is active - Hua City - Li Xuan has read many rumors about "Disaster" and is quite interested.
Hearing Li Xuan's words, Lu Yibei's body stiffened, his heart trembled slightly, and he didn't turn his head.
"You scoundrel, just like the Disaster ntioned on the internal forum, wherever you go, there's wailing and no one has a good ti. Is that it?" Lu Yibei tilted his head, looked at Li Xuan, and said, "Is that so? If I were Disaster, I would definitely let the urban legend under my command rest six days a week, and only co out to cause trouble when you're on night duty, do you believe ?"
"Heh!" Li Xuan rolled his eyes, "Would a big Strange Tale like Disaster be as boring as you? ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) If they're going to do sothing, they'll make big news, okay?!"
Lu Yibei,
The annoying older brother has evolved into a black fan leader, hasn't he?
I told you the truth, but you don't believe at all, so there's nothing I can do!
Lu Yibei thought. As he passed the small garden in front of the office building, he, as usual, took out a bag of corn crisps from his backpack and gave it to Gu Niang before entering the office building and heading towards Office V.
That's right, Office V is Jiang Li's office, not his, but what's the difference between the Leader's office and mine?
My office is so broken, the working environnt is terrible. She wouldn't mind if I used the Leader's office. Moreover, only her office has the si ye book and many paper archives and files. Lu Yibei thought—
Hua Xieyu is quite experienced in tracking.
When she was young, she worked as an informant for a local gang for a long ti. People she tracked often found it difficult to notice that a Little Girl like her was observing them in secret.
In fact, in a place like Xiang Niangzi Cave, so guys with minds full of breasts, even if they occasionally noticed her gaze, would think she wanted to do business.
That kind of business, 800 for an overnight stay, or overnight and dayti.
And usually, when encountering such guys, unless the employer explicitly requested not to interact with the target, Hua Xieyu would turn the 800 overnight business into a surprisingly large and life-questioning amount of business.
Due to concerns about being discovered by Lu Yibei, she maintained a certain distance from him while tracking, and arrived at Peony Street about five minutes later than Lu Yibei.
Just as Lu Yibei finished tornting Li Xuan and entered the office building, Hua Xieyu walked through most of Peony Street and finally reached the entrance of that small alley.
From a distance, looking at the tal plaque hanging in front of the old ancestral hall, she frowned. "Huacheng Folk Culture Research Administration? What kind of place is this?"
Although she lived in Xiang Niangzi Cave, her knowledge was not limited to the area around Xiang Niangzi Cave.
She was certain that in Liming City and the few surrounding cities, there was no such departnt as the Folk Culture Research Bureau.
"So, this departnt is unique to Hua City?" Hua Xieyu murmured to herself, furrowed her brows, and quietly retreated to a place further away from the alley entrance.
This strangely nad departnt gave her an ominous feeling. Even though she knew Lu Yibei was inside, she didn't dare to take the risk.
Standing on Peony Street, she looked around for a while, then her gaze fell on a Xiao Pang Duner squatting by the ditch and fishing. A smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "Got it!"
Tricking a silly Xiao Pang Duner to help her see what was inside that so-called Bureau was as easy as breathing.
"Little friend, you won't catch fish like that. Do you need Sister to help you?"
Hearing the voice from behind, Xiao Pang Duner raised his head and froze in place the mont he saw Hua Xieyu. He had never seen such a beautiful auntie. Almost instantly, he had identified Hua Xieyu as his mother-in-law. This proved that he was a slightly precocious and ambitious Xiao Pang Duner.
On the other side, just as Hua Xieyu was trying to get closer to Xiao Pang Duner and then trick him into entering the Huacheng Folk Culture Research Administration to investigate.
Inside the Huacheng Folk Culture Research Administration, the Monitoring Center.
A mber of the Special Operations Team pointed at the screen in front of him and turned to look at Qi Dong behind him, "Void, we found the source of that Spiritual Energy fluctuation, it's this Miss."
"I checked the previous surveillance records. She seems to have followed Operative Lu Yibei into Peony Street and then ca all the way here."
"Void, what do we do now?"
Qi Dong rested his chin on one hand, stared at the screen in silence for a mont, and said expressionlessly, "Observe her for a bit longer. If she does anything strange, invite her in for questioning."
There shouldn't be any problem, right?
Even if she wanted to cause trouble, she wouldn't do it at the entrance of the Night Watch, right?
What's the difference between this and engaging in criminal activity at the entrance of a police station? And she's just a petty thief, Qi Dong thought.
Hua Xieyu's experience was indeed seasoned, but she overlooked one thing: the public security in Hua City is much better than in Liming City. (Sothing ca up today and I have to go out, so I'm slacking off today, updating a little less.)
