Professor Huang had yet to realize that Noske had received the same test report. He was also studying the data, the corners of his mouth splitting into a grin. He had gained something, after all.
Unfortunately, the very next second, he began muttering curses under his breath. The base's guards were useless—they had actually failed to keep Ms. Han Lian. Otherwise, his research would surely have made new progress by now.
"Ah-choo!" Han Lian sneezed aboard the Flying Boat, startling Yun Chen, who was calculating their bearings nearby.
"Amitabha! Has something happened?"
Han Lian lightly rubbed her nose and said:
"Nothing. Someone's thinking about me. Those research people are truly insane. Ranxi was right—we'd better keep our distance from them."
Yunxi had just completed a cultivation cycle using spirit stones. Hearing Han Lian mention her, she opened her eyes and said with a smile:
"What? Are the people from that research base still unwilling to give up? Did they send people after you?"
"I calculated it with my fingers—they're studying my test report right now. I was careless. They actually managed to test my saliva and find something."
Han Lian said this without the slightest concern.
Yunxi immediately burst out laughing.
"Han Lian, I never thought you could be this careless too."
"Who knew saliva could be tested? At that base, I only drank a single cup of tea, and I still fell into their trap. Professor Huang looks honest and kind on the surface, but he's full of schemes inside."
"This place is different from the Cultivation Realm. We should still be more cautious."
"You're right. It took me some time to understand this world as well. I wonder what state the Weiyu Realm is in now."
