Aerial cable cars are a mainstream mode of transportation in Qingyang City.

at this time.

Luo Yan and his three companions were sitting in an aerial cable car bound for the Canghe Academy.

Outside the window.

The hologram is evolving into the sunset glow, the twilight light painting everything golden.

It cast lonely shadows on the ground.

Liu Ruohan's phone rang at that moment.

She received several messages.

"Classmate Liu, are you settling in well in Qingyang City? It's hot now, remember to drink plenty of water."

'You must be very busy, it's okay, I'll wait for your reply. Waiting, it turns out, can be a beautiful thing too.'

' Classmate Liu...'

These messages were all sent by Yang Lixie.

Liu Ruohan sighed.

Put down your phone.

opposite.

Luo Yan, who was looking out the window at the scenery, suddenly felt his phone vibrate.

He took it out and looked at it.

Yang Lixie sent several messages.

"Dude, is Classmate Liu around? Is she in a bad mood? Try to comfort her, and if she's in a better mood, she'll talk to me again."

'I think I made a strange request. Never mind, just leave me alone. I'm just having mixed feelings.'

"Oh no, I can't help it. Today, I found that my buckwheat pillow has sprouted. Do you know why? Because I cried. I'm so sad. Why isn't Classmate Liu replying to my messages?"

Luo Yan nearly crushed his phone while watching.

He simply blocked Yang Lixie, planning to remove him from the blacklist tomorrow.

To avoid bombarding myself with messages tonight.

Back to school.

Upon entering the school gate, you can see a professional team maintaining the Academy's buildings.

It's a holiday now.

The number of faculty and students remaining at the Academy is limited.

This is a good time to do maintenance.

Luo Yan didn't pay any attention.

They followed He Hao and the others back to their dormitory.

Take a bath and change clothes.

I was just about to head to the cafeteria.

My phone suddenly rang.

Luo Yan thought it was Yang Lixie calling, but when he looked, it was an unfamiliar number.

He thought about it.

Answer the call.

Hello, Classmate Luo.

A slightly deep, but generally gentle, female voice came from the phone.

"My name is Guan Qi, one of the vice leaders of the Nine Phoenix Organization."

Luo Yan was taken aback.

Jiufeng actually came knocking on our door?

He remembered that he had killed those two assassins.

A murderous glint flashed in Luo Yan's eyes.

But Guan Qi's next words surprised him.

"Luo Yan, we mean no harm."

On the contrary, we do not wish to be your enemy.

"As for the two assassins who died at your hands..."

"You can rest assured, we have no intention of retaliating."

"I've already given the reasons above, so I won't repeat them here."

Luo Yan paused for a moment, then said, "I understand."

Then hang up the phone.

But before he could put the phone down, Guan Qi called again.

Luo Yan answered the phone again.

Guan Qi's voice came through the phone. "I know you still don't trust us."

"To express our sincerity."

"I can help you eliminate 'Black Wave'."

"Don't be surprised, besides our 'cleaning' work, our organization's most profitable business is intelligence."

"Based on what I know about you."

"Now that you're in Qingyang City, you definitely won't let 'Black Wave' Company get away with this."

Luo Yan was slightly surprised and asked, "How do you assist in this?"

Guan Qi said calmly, "I can provide you with some information."

"For example, the 'Black Wave' company is preparing to deal with you; their people have already infiltrated Canghe Academy."

"There should be maintenance being done at the Academy right now, right?"

"That maintenance team was actually made up of people from 'Black Wave' in disguise."

"They will launch their operation tonight."

Luo Yan was surprised again.

Guan Qi continued, "In addition, I can also provide some technical support."

"You probably don't want your identity to be discovered by the Qingyang City authorities when you're eliminating 'Black Wave,' right?"

"I can hack into the systems of Qingyang City and Black Tide Company, interfere with monitoring equipment, and delete the relevant records afterwards."

"We can also help you with the aftermath."

"For example, they might mislead other individuals about the 'Black Wave' company's affairs, thus interfering with the judgment of relevant departments."

Very professional!

Luo Yan secretly praised him.

Intelligence, technology, and post-disaster relief work.

Even Jiu Feng, the deputy leader, appeared very professional.

and.

It can solve many of my problems.

In fact, Luo Yan was also considering it.

How to eliminate the 'Black Wave' company without revealing one's identity.

But there hasn't been a good solution.

But now, if Jiufeng were to provide these services...

Then everything can be easily solved.

but...

Luo Yan said in a deep voice, "What do I have to give in return?"

"Not this time."

Guan Qi said calmly, "This service is complimentary."

"Firstly, so that you can feel our sincerity."

"Secondly, to demonstrate our capabilities."

"Of course, if similar services are needed in the future, then we will have to charge for them."

Luo Yan thought for a moment and said, "Could we meet in person?"

Of course, he wouldn't believe this woman named ' Guan Qi ' just because of a few words.

If we meet.

He can use the ' Eye of True Suchness ' to see into the other person's heart.

This way, you can obtain the most direct information.

"Can."

Guan Qi said, "Let's do it tonight."

She gave me another address.

He continued, "After meeting, it's best to act immediately."

"While the 'Black Wave' Company's elite forces are all deployed, let's take down their headquarters."

"However, be careful when you leave the school, and don't let the 'Black Wave' people find you."

Otherwise, all our previous efforts will be in vain.

beep...

Guan Qi hung up the phone.

Luo Yan put down his phone.

Tonight?

He glanced out the window.

Night has fallen.

There was a knock on the door.

Liu Ruohan's voice rang out from outside. "Classmate Luo, want to go to the cafeteria together?"

Luo Yan opened the door.

Wearing a loose t-shirt, jeans, and pink sneakers, Liu Ruohan exudes youthful energy.

She blinked.

I hesitated for a moment.

Then he asked, "By the way, are you free tonight?"

"No," Luo Yan replied, then strode towards the cafeteria.

later.

Liu Ruohan pouted.

He shouted.

"Aren't you going to earn extra money?"

Luo Yan listened.

It turns out it's a business of 'beating people up'.

but...

He turned around and said, "I'm not free tonight."

He is patient with customers, though not often.

He left those words behind.

Luo Yan then left.

He rushed to have lunch and then left the school for his appointment.

In a clean, white room.

Guan Qi put down his phone.

She had just reported her decision to the organization's leader and received his approval.

The woman with long, black hair looked at a tablet computer on the table.

A video was playing on repeat inside.

That was a recording of ' White Dragon ' instantly killing Taotie with a single sword strike.

She has already sent the video to the leader's email address.

"Ultimate Skill."

"A first-year student who has already mastered a ' Ultimate Skill '."

"Although he's just a beginner and his skills are still quite clumsy, but..."

Guan Qi put away his tablet and prepared to leave.

Initially, she planned to observe for a while longer, but this video completely changed her mind.

Leave the hotel.

Guan Qi went to the third district alone.

I walked into a ramen shop and ordered a single-person set meal.

Just sitting here quietly.

When the food on the table was almost gone, she saw someone walk in.

Black hair, red eyes.

His facial features weren't particularly sharp.

However, there is a trend toward development in this direction.

In an instant.

Guan Qi mistakenly thought he was seeing a different person.

It is not a sword, but a sword whose sharpness is fully revealed.

On the other side.

As Luo Yan entered the ramen shop, he quietly activated his ' Eye of True Suchness '.

A silver cross silently appeared in the pupil.

He looked around.

Information about the surrounding diners has been collected.

The Guan Qi has been discovered.

But he didn't show it.

Until Guan Qi gently tapped the table three times.

Luo Yan then looked over.

This was their pre-arranged code.

At the same time, take advantage of this opportunity.

Luo Yan read her thoughts.

'He's here.'

'His willingness to come is a good start.'

Trust needs to be built step by step, and tonight is the first step.

'Even if we can't recruit someone with such potential, we shouldn't turn them into an enemy.'

That would be unwise, especially since we don't have any irreconcilable hatred between us right now.

'Although this development probably won't please Hong Yue.'

'I can only try to appease her when I get back.'

These heartfelt words are presented in written form.

Looking at this information.

Luo Yan was temporarily relieved.

At least for now.

Jiufeng is sincere.

Take your seat.

Luo Yan nodded. "Miss Guan Qi?"

Guan Qi pushed a tablet computer to Luo Yan: "This contains Ding Yang's information."

"Tonight, only he and a small number of guards remain at the company."

"After you begin your operation."

"I will cut off Black Wave's communication network, preventing them from seeking help from the outside world."

"But once a battle breaks out, once it's noticed by the outside world..."

"At most ten minutes."

"Security officers from Qingyang City will arrive at the scene soon."

"Therefore, once you make your move, you must eliminate the target within two minutes."

Guan Qi then took out a small box, about the size of a palm, and pushed it in front of Luo Yan.

Luo Yan opened it, and inside was a black bead.

"Smoke Grenade."

"But the released smoke contains ' Essence Depleting Agent,' a drug that depletes the Primal Energy of those who inhale it."

[Honestly, I've been using Yeguo Reading to read and follow my favorite books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and is compatible with both Android and Apple devices.]

"It works quickly; your Primal Energy Primal Energy will drop significantly within three to five seconds, and then continue to drop for the next five minutes."

"This is the antidote. Take it beforehand, and you won't be affected."

Guan Qi took out another box containing two red pills.

Luo Yan nodded.

My gaze fell upon the documents.

The information is very detailed.

Ding Yang's Visualization Technique skills, Divine Treasure ability, and proficient Combat Skill Mystic Art.

They've all been listed.

Luo Yan remembered this.

They put away the ' Smoke Grenade ' and the antidote.

Guan Qi then extended his hand and smiled, "Pleasure doing business with you?"

Luo Yan hesitated for a moment.

He then grasped Guan Qi's hand.

"It's a pleasure doing business with you."

After withdrawing his hand, Guan Qi glanced at his watch and said, "If you want to make a move, you can do it now."

"Otherwise, it will be very troublesome if the school finds out you're missing."

Luo Yan stood up.

I left the ramen shop.

A moment later.

He arrived near the Black Tide Company building.

I looked up.

"Someone's going to die again tonight."

Luo Yan tightened his clothes.

Put on a mask that you bought.

Heading towards the gate.
