Soon, Yan Dong called everyone on the list.
Gu Zhiqi hypnotized each of them in turn, and quickly identified those who had been bribed by Angel.
After questioning, they found a total of three people who had been bribed by Angel, and Gu Zhiqi handed them over to Yan Dong for processing.
Apart from the Heavenly Domain Pavilion, there were also Angel’s people in Nine Stars City. Yan Dong had matters to handle, so Gu Zhiqi stayed a bit longer at the Heavenly Domain Pavilion.
Su Yunling knew Gu Zhiqi had an appointnt with soone after her exams, and told her to ssage him when she was done, so he could send soone to pick her up.
However, Yan Dong arranged for soone to take Gu Zhiqi back, so she didn’t ssage Su Yunling.
Before leaving, she wandered around near the Heavenly Domain Pavilion, planning to buy so food and then have the driver take her ho.
After walking around for a bit, she heard Chubby Chiu’s voice in her mind.
"Beep~ Upgrade Mission ② has been triggered. Please help Fu Wangchan escape danger and provide treatnt."
After issuing the mission, Chubby Chiu gave Gu Zhiqi a location, "It’s not far, just nearby."
After saying that, he gave Gu Zhiqi a friendly reminder, "Zhizhi, Fu Wangchan is Fu Xiyan’s younger brother~"
Upon receiving the task notification, Gu Zhiqi had just bought so candied haws and had already eaten one.
After listening to Chubby Chiu’s words, Gu Zhiqi paused slightly, then followed the direction Chubby Chiu had indicated towards Fu Wangchan’s location.

Central Continent City was bustling, but there were still places where people rarely set foot.
In an alley not far from the Heavenly Domain Pavilion, a young man around twenty was surrounded by a group of black-clad figures.
The young man clutched his arm with his left hand, his eyebrows furrowed with irritation and hostility, looking coldly at the black-clad figures in front of him, "Who sent you?"
There was no answer, and the group of black-clad figures didn’t say a word.
The leader of the black-clad figures made a gesture, prompting the group to move.
The young man had no choice but to continue fighting with them despite his injuries.
Due to his vital energy running amok, he was already in discomfort. The black-clad figures had significant ancient martial cultivation, making the young man no match for them. After only a few moves, he was defeated.
The leader of the black-clad group grabbed the young man’s collar, pinned him against the wall, and raised a fist, imbued with vital energy, aiming for his head.
If the punch landed, the young man would likely be killed.
The young man instinctively closed his eyes.
However, it was not the young man’s head that was smashed, but the leader’s.
Within a breath, the black-clad figure had lost his breath and fell to the ground.
This sudden turn of events put the other black-clad figures on alert, and they looked around.
"Who?"
The last thing Fu Wangchan heard before opening his eyes was a single word.
Then ca a series of thudding sounds as bodies hit the ground.
When Fu Wangchan opened his eyes, there were no black-clad figures left standing around him.
All had lost their vital breath and lay on the ground.
Standing there was only a young girl.
A young girl holding candied haws?
By this ti, it was very late. Tonight, there was a moon, its light gently wrapping around the girl like a veil, making her appear serene and ethereal, as if she were a Moon Palace Fairy stepping forth in the moonlight.
Fu Wangchan stared blankly at the girl before him.
At the sight of her, a slight chill seed to greet him, like the cool rain of early spring, cold but not piercing.
His first reaction was not joy at being rescued, but rather to look over the girl in front of him again and again.
Have we t before?
Seeing Fu Wangchan standing there dazed, Gu Zhiqi walked over to him and spoke lazily, "Snap out of it."
