Revealing Themselves

In the end, regardless of Zheng Chao's wishes, he was taken away by Yu Qiushui.

Return to base.

In an instant, the 'Black Witch's' followers were all gone.

It only took about half an hour in total.

The sirens didn't sound until the 'black witch's' men had left.

The local Local Security Bureau officers arrived late, though Yu Qiushui acted swiftly.

However, the fact that the Local Security Bureau has only appeared now inevitably raises questions about the reasons behind it.

The car was traveling on the highway back to the old town.

Luo Yan looked out the window.

The Local Security Bureau's vehicles sped past.

They disappeared in the blink of an eye.

He couldn't help but glance at Yu Qiushui.

The latter said casually, "We just had some trouble created to divert the attention of the Local Security Bureau."

As for whether it's true or false...

Only this woman herself knows the truth.

However, tonight.

Yu Qiushui's skills left a deep impression on Luo Yan.

It also gave him some inspiration.

Arrived at the Red Chamber.

Zheng Chao was taken away, Yu Qiushui planned to interrogate him again tomorrow.

Then they saw Huang Yu was covered in wounds.

The woman raised an eyebrow. "Oh, Captain Huang."

Are you injured?

"How could you be so careless?"

Anger flashed in Huang Yu's eyes as he glanced at Luo Yan, but ultimately dared not complain.

"I was careless and didn't dodge that scoundrel's sneak attack."

"However, it's alright."

"Captain Yu, you're very kind."

Yu Qiushui nodded.

He casually asked a teammate to take Huang Yu to get treatment.

He then said to Luo Yan, "Captain Red Ghost, come with me for a moment."

Entering a quiet room, Yu Qiushui casually opened a cabinet and rummaged through it.

"Tonight we successfully hunted down a key member of 'Yellow Springs' and also caught a big fish like Zheng Chao."

"Captain Red Ghost, you have made a great contribution."

"I'll report this to the organization later, and you'll definitely get some contribution points."

"I also have something I'd like to give you. Our great battle with Huang Quan is imminent, and I hope you can achieve even greater success."

As she spoke, she took out a dusty book.

He blew a breath, raising a cloud of dust.

Yu Qiushui pinched her nose and brushed it with her hand.

He then tossed the book to Luo Yan.

Luo Yan took it; the cover of the book had the four characters "Steaming Cloud Marsh" written on it.

He looked at Yu Qiushui.

Yu Qiushui kicked off her shoes, lay down on her side on the couch, and said lazily, "This isn't some amazing 'secret technique,' so you don't need to be polite."

"It should be a good match for your Blood Transformation Scripture."

"A poem from the Song Dynasty, 'On the Road to Baoying,' contains the following..."

"Jiaolong Steaming Cloud Marsh marshland; for five days, not a breath of wind stirs."

"When this method is activated, it can make the surrounding space unbearably hot and stuffy."

"Your opponent's essence and Primal Energy will be forced out by this technique, and will unknowingly leave their body amidst profuse sweating."

"If you cultivate your <Blood Transformation Scripture> to the third level, you will be able to extract the essence and blood of your opponent from a distance."

"Of course, cultivators are unaffected, so you don't need to worry."

Luo Yan nodded, and without being polite to Yu Qiushui, accepted the book containing the secret techniques.

At this moment, Yu Qiushui asked with a smile, "Then, Qingyang Divine General, when will you return to Guangling?"

The temperature in the quiet room suddenly dropped.

Qingyang Divine General!

Luo Yan narrowed his eyes slightly behind the mask.

He was unaware of it.

Yu Qiushui knew her identity as the Qingyang Divine General.

After all, he had already seen Yu Qiushui in his true form before he became the Qingyang Divine General.

Even though the features of the statue in the city are not very clear, its spirit is still there.

Luo Yan would find it strange if Yu Qiushui didn't know that she had been living in Qingyang for a long time.

What Luo Yan found strange was that Yu Qiushui had never brought up this matter.

Since the woman didn't bring it up, Luo Yan was naturally happy to play dumb.

But what is Yu Qiushui's intention in deliberately revealing this now?

Was she going to report her to higher authorities?

Should we take a gamble and assassinate her here?

Thoughts, one by one.

It flashed through Luo Yan's mind like lightning.

Ultimately, he decided to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.

The reason for doing so was that Yu Qiushui's suggestion at this time felt like a candid conversation with himself.

then.

Luo Yan's indifferent voice echoed from within the Carved Wooden Mask.

"In the next couple of days."

A strange light flickered in Yu Qiushui's beautiful eyes.

She said with a smile, "Don't worry, you're not in Qingyang."

"I will also keep an eye on your Nursery Garden located in the Forbidden Land."

"We won't let anyone bully you."

"Also, your secret."

I will also keep it a secret for you.

"These days, everyone has a secret."

"I don't care what your purpose is in joining our 'Black Witch' group."

"None of this matters as long as you can help me become a minister."

Consider this your payment.

Luo Yan narrowed his eyes slightly behind his mask, then said, "Not enough." "Oh?" Yu Qiushui looked at Luo Yan with a hint of anticipation, "Then what else do you want?"

Luo Yan did not directly say that he wanted the "Golden Treasury Record".

He said calmly, "We'll talk about it when you become a minister."

"All right."

Yu Qiushui shrugged. "But it has to be within my ability to pay. I won't do anything beyond that."

Luo Yan nodded, then took his leave.

After having someone escort Luo Yan out.

Yu Qiushui sighed softly, "Am I really getting old?"

"I thought that kid was going to make some kind of request."

"Women..."

"No, I need to start taking care of myself!"

the next day.

hotel.

Luo Yan had just finished washing up when there was a loud knocking on the door.

He opened the door.

Yang Lixie said excitedly, "Luo Yan, have you heard?"

Luo Yan almost gave him a question mark look.

He barged in early in the morning and dropped a sentence without any context.

How did he know what he was going to hear?

Yang Lixie didn't keep anyone in suspense.

He said it directly.

"Zheng Chao, who Tangshi Investment, had his villa burned down last night."

"It seems that Zheng Chao himself has also disappeared."

Yang Lixie laughed heartily, "In that case, we won't have to worry about that guy surnamed Zheng causing trouble for us in the future."

So that's what it was about.

As a participant in last night's events.

Luo Yan could only reply with an "Oh" to Yang Lixie.

Yang Lixie's lips twitched slightly.

"Is this all you're going to do?"

Can't you be happy for once?

Luo Yan gave him a happy look.

"Never mind, never mind."

Yang Lixie waved his hand. "You don't need to fob me off. Come on, let's have breakfast."

Luo Yan nodded. "I'll leave this morning."

"Okay, I'll get you a car, you can drive it back yourself?"

Luo Yan had no problem driving himself back to Guangling.

And so the matter was settled.

After breakfast.

Luo Yan packed his things and parted ways with Yang Lixie.

He drove away from Qingyang alone.

Luo Yan pondered Yu Qiushui's attitude carefully.

Clearly, Yu Qiushui wanted to keep his secret, otherwise he would have been exposed long ago.

And she was willing to do it.

Luo Yan believed there were two reasons.

First, it stems from the internal workings of the "Black Witches," who only care about results and are not afraid of external infiltration.

Secondly, he himself was of use to Yu Qiushui, and this point was far more important than the former.
