At the other end of the phone, Wei’Er was quite surprised after hearing Shi Yanxin’s intention.
But she didn’t ask much.
Since the person on the line is the Special Envoy of the Imperial Guard in Jinghai City and has important matters to discuss with the Zhan Brothers, a little cooperation from her would suffice.
She tried to call "Zhan Feng", but unfortunately, she couldn’t get through.
"His Communication Device must be turned off, there’s no signal," Wei’Er said.
Upon hearing this, Shi Yanxin frowned, not expecting that she still couldn’t reach him.
"Wei’Er, can you please give his contact information? I’ll try contacting him another ti."
"Mm, okay."
They didn’t know that the military Communication Device Lu Xun got from Zhang Xinghai was not in this world at all; it was placed in the Netherworld, entrusted to Evil Spirits for safekeeping.
He occasionally took it out to check if there were any missed calls or ssages.
Of course, it was impossible to reach him.
Including his own Communication Device, he wouldn’t carry it on him during special tis; before "transforming," he would toss it into the Netherworld along with his clothes, shoes, and backpack to prevent hacker intrusion and location tracking.
Unable to contact "the fourth mber of the Zhan Brothers trio," Shi Yanxin had to think of another way.

The next day, after school in the evening.
Lu Xun first went to Jinghai Ninth Middle School to pick up Xie Manyu, and the two took a taxi ho together.
On the way, he talked to her about work.
After all, the identity of "Appraiser" didn’t need to be kept secret; it wasn’t a shady or black-market industry. This was a legitimate job, and all earnings were legal.
"Ah? A monthly salary of a hundred and twenty thousand!" Xie Manyu widened her eyes in amazent, "Brother, you’re amazing, how did you end up becoming an Appraiser?"
Her mom only earns a few thousand a month.
What concept is a monthly salary of a hundred and twenty thousand?
Previously, they all knew that Lu Xun worked as a "Black Doctor" in a black clinic, earning a fortune and thus saving Xie Zhenhai’s life.
Xie Manyu thought that after quitting as a Prosthetic Doctor, her brother must have lost his financial resources.
She didn’t expect him to turn around and apply as an Appraiser at the Treasure Pavilion.
... What’s the connection between being a doctor and an Appraiser?
This was completely cross-disciplinary!
She couldn’t understand.
Also being minors, how was her brother so aweso?
"Brother, do you have secrets to becoming a genius quickly? How can you learn everything so fast, practically omnipotent?" She held her brother’s hand, her eyes filled with curiosity, "Quickly teach your ’Secrets of Becoming a Genius Quickly’. "
"Xiao Yu, knowledge is power."
Lu Xun patted her head, saying earnestly:
"For your brother to achieve what I have today, I relied entirely on my hard work. Don’t think about shortcuts; success doesn’t happen by chance. Only through earnest effort and accumulating bit by bit can one grow and beco talented."
"I see... I’ve realized!"
She revealed an understanding expression, then a look of unwavering determination erged from deep within her eyes.
Surely, behind her brother’s success, he must have devoted unimaginable sweat and toil.
For children born into ordinary civilian families, where in the world would there be shortcuts?
It all depends on one’s efforts.
Xie Manyu secretly made up her mind to use her brother as a model, study hard, accumulate knowledge, and strive to beco an outstanding person like her brother.
.
Returning ho, the siblings prepared dinner together, and after finishing the al, Lu Xun checked the ti and got ready to go to work.
Before leaving, he reminded Xie Manyu not to wander around, if she needed to go out, she had to call him first.
With Zhu Tutu guarding at ho, security was assured.
As long as vampires of Lord Level or higher do not invade, Zhu Tutu could hold its ground in a fight.
"Don’t worry, Brother, I won’t go out." Xie Manyu nodded obediently, "I’ll just wash the dishes, do howork till nine, watch so TV series, and go to sleep."
"That’s good, I’m off now."
Lu Xun waved his hand, turned around, and left ho.
Once outside, his face was covered with a layer of shadow.
If he could inherit the Blood Resonance ability after Projection, he decided to kill this group of vampire spies tonight.
... Especially those vampires wandering around several districts near his ho, he must find and eliminate all of them quickly!
How could he allow others to snore beside his bed?
Their presence near his ho had made Lu Xun restless.
To project the Blood Race, he still needed so Trait Points.
First, he would go to the Treasure Pavilion to do a thorough Analysis, and by the end of the shift, he’d surely have enough.

Zone 7, Antique Market, Blessed Treasure Pavilion Jinghai City Branch.
Lu Xun entered the store, inquired with a staff mber, and learned that Ding Xuezhu was in today, so he went upstairs directly to her office.
Knock knock~
"Co in." Ding Xuezhu looked up at the door, then smiled, "It’s Xiao Lu."
Today, she wasn’t wearing a qipao but instead donned a light gray pleated skirt paired with a tea-colored knitted sweater, giving her a sexy figure, poised deanor, mature and beautiful.
"Hello, Sister Ding." Lu Xun raised his hand in greeting and said, "I’m here to work; I can start whenever."
"Don’t worry, I’ve arranged everything for you." She stood up and gracefully walked over, a refreshing fragrance wafting closer and closer, perating the air, "Co with , you’re going to be quite busy tonight."
Soon, Lu Xun followed Ding Xuezhu to an appraisal studio.
The space was vast, and on the floor and tables, there were ancient artifacts everywhere.
There were bones, fossils, biological specins, as well as jade stones, tal vessels, stone carvings, porcelain, ivory ornants, ancient chanical instrunts...
Thousands in number!
So items ca from ruins excavations, so from ancient battlefields, and so from rifts, while many were procured from the folk.
