Kamishiro Kono of the North

The world is lit up again.

Qing Chen was still sitting in the living room of the villa, as was Luo Wanyai.

Before this time travel, Luo Wanyai voluntarily came to the villa as a hostage, fearing that Bai Zhou would not be willing to save him.

He has finally regained his freedom.

"My benefactors, I, Luo, swear to follow Bai Zhou to the death, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation. If I betray you, I will not complain even if you cut me three times and pierce me six times!" The first thing Luo Wanyai did upon returning to the villa was to grab Qing Chen's arm.

Although the boss of Bai Zhou was not here, he judged that Qing Chen was the person in Bai Zhou whose status was second only to the boss.

Therefore, there's nothing wrong with thanking Qing Chen.

Qing Chen sat calmly in the chair. "Speak properly, don't use those Jianghu. Besides, it's not like just anyone can follow Bai Zhou."

It should be placed in the past.

Luo Wanyai might think that Qing Chen's purpose in saying this was to suppress his momentum and elevate Bai Zhou's status...

But Luo Wanyai no longer thinks that way. He knows very well what kind of energy Bai Zhou has in the Inner World. This Bai Zhou is indeed not something that anyone can join at will.

At this moment, Luo Wanyai glanced at Qing Chen cautiously. "I have two Time Walker under my wing, one is 22 years old and the other is 32 years old. The younger one is a recent college graduate and the older one is a tour guide. Neither of them is of much use to Bai Zhou. Why don't you hand them over to me and I will take them under my wing?"

Qing Chen glanced at Luo Wanyai: "What are you planning to do?"

"Of course, I'll do whatever Bai Zhou tells me to do," Luo Wanyai said.

Qing Chen replied without hesitation, "The boss has already given you instructions. He needs you to fill the intelligence gap in Bai Zhou in the black market. Xiao Niu, Tian Zhen, and Zhu Zi, the three of you don't need to help him yet. The boss wants to see his abilities."

Luo Wanyai became excited. As the saying goes, the beginning is always the hardest, but this start was enough. "I, Luo, will definitely give the boss a surprise!"

"Go back and rest first."

As Qing Chen watched Luo Wanyai's departing figure, he suddenly felt a bit of anticipation, wondering how much trouble this Jianghu Boss Luo and his "family" could cause.

At this moment, Luo Wanyai walked out of the villa, his driver still at the door. "Mr. Luo, you're finally out! Are you alright?"

"Don't call me Boss Luo," Luo Wanyai said in a low voice. "From today onwards, call me by my name. You also need to tell the brothers that they must call me by my name."

"Why?" the driver asked, puzzled.

Luo Wanyai said, "I have a new boss now. What would he think if he heard you still calling me 'President Luo'?"

"Then we'll call you 'General Manager Luo' in private, and your name in public," the driver said.

"Bullshit!" Luo Wanyai snapped. "You have to maintain the habit of calling me by my name even in private. Saying one thing to my face and another behind my back is even more embarrassing if someone finds out! Be careful! After all these years with me, don't you understand this simple principle?"

"Oh..." the driver replied.

Luo Wanyai is a ruthless person, even more ruthless to himself.

At his age, he was practically half-buried in the ground, but in order to survive, he abandoned the dialect he had spoken for most of his life and actually learned Mandarin well.

This is something not everyone can do.

"Oh, right, go and gather all our brothers who have become Time Walker. Tell them I'm leading them on something big," Luo Wanyai said. "We have twelve Time Walker brothers now, right? That's enough!"

At this moment, Luo Wanyai was excited. The Outer World was a law-abiding and orderly world, and people like him had always found it difficult to use their talents, so he felt like he was born at the wrong time.

In those years, we were either lying low or on our way to lie low.

But the Inner World is different; there, human life is as worthless as grass, and everyone lives hand to mouth. This is the era most suitable for people like him.

At this moment, the driver said, "Mr. Luo... Luo Wanyai, there's a vacant villa next door to theirs. Would you like to buy it and live closer to them?"

"No need," Luo Wanyai shook his head, "It's unnecessary."

"Why? Didn't you want to join them? Or do you think the houses are too expensive?" the driver asked curiously.

"You don't know anything. Do you think I'm short of money? It's just that I haven't even joined yet, and living so close to them might make them resentful. At this point, it's best to keep your distance. When they let you get closer, then you get closer. When they don't let you get closer, you should obediently stay away, accumulate your strength to prove yourself, and listen to their arrangements. Don't be too opinionated," Luo Wanyai said.

It must be said that Luo Wanyai, having spent most of his Jianghu, has a keen understanding of human nature and the ways of the world.

Hu Xiaoniu only understood some principles because he had a good father.

Liu Dezhu only understood some of the truths after enduring several harsh blows from life.

But they are still not as good as Luo Wanyai.

Because that was a life lesson that Luo Wanyai had finally come to understand after spending half his life in the game.

Among these life lessons, there is one very important one. "A person may have lofty ambitions, but without good fortune, they cannot achieve them."

Everyone needs a benefactor in their life, and the boss he's talking about today is his benefactor.

Luo Wanyai thought for a moment and said, "Although we can't buy this house yet, we can't let others buy it either. You should talk to the buyer first and tell him not to sell it to anyone else."

"What kind of talk?" the driver asked.

Luo Wanyai said with great distress, "We've been out of the water for so long, do we still need to ask about this? Besides, who among those who can buy houses here is a good person? Just pay the deposit first, and we can talk about it in a month or two."

In Luo Wanyai's view, he must perform well and strive to gain the qualification to join Bai Zhou within two months.

As for how he should behave, that depends on his family.

In the living room of the villa, Qing Chen, Hu Xiaoniu, Nan Gengchen, Liu Dezhu and others were sitting.

Jiang Xue smiled and said, "Everyone must be waiting to return, and haven't eaten yet, right? I bought groceries before I transmigrated, so I'll make you all a midnight snack now."

Liu Dezhu was almost moved to tears. This was what an organization was like. Everyone ate and lived together, and there was even a kind older sister making late-night snacks for them.

Qing Chen looked at Jiang Xue: "Where's Xiao Tongyun? Is she asleep?"

Jiang Xue said with a smile, "She's not Time Walker, so she goes to bed early. She's probably still sleeping right now."

Everyone's phones rang, especially in the group chat during the day.

The Little Rich Girl sent a message: "Everyone's back, right? Anything new this time? Sister Qiu Xue, are you alright?"

Qing Chen understood...

After each return, the regular activity is the communication in the daytime group and He Xiaoxiao group.

If Xiao Tongyun were to come down to the living room to use her phone or chat in the group at this time, she would probably be discovered and beaten up in no time.

So the little girl simply pretended to be asleep and chatted in her room.

At this hour, how could Xiao Tongyun be sleeping? She's wide awake...

In the group chat, Liu Dezhu hesitated for a long time before finally asking, "Boss, after we rescued Luo Wanyai the night before last, it seems like something big happened in the Fourth District?"

Boss: "Hmm."

Ice Eye: "What happened? I was at the Banshan Manor when the 081 Garrison Brigade surrounded the entire manor, cutting off all communication."

Qing Chen sat on the sofa, switching between the two accounts with ease. He glanced up at Liu Dezhu across from him and noticed that the other looked conflicted, as if he were constipated.

She seemed to want to ask something, but was hesitant to do so.

This guy had no idea that the 'boss' had already seen his expression.

Although the media cannot report on Li Changqing's attack, how could the local residents of City No. 18 not know about it?

Mainstream media outlets are not allowed to report on it, but related topics are appearing on various parts of the internet.

Starting the night before last, Liu Dezhu and Hu Xiaoniu began discussing whether this sniper might be their boss.

After all, the boss had just performed a miracle with a sniper rifle that very night, and they were the ones who felt it most acutely.

Liu Dezhu: "I heard that Li Changqing, a big shot in the Li family, was ambushed and almost died. Then a particularly skilled sniper appeared and killed many people in one go, which saved Li Changqing."

Boss: "Hmm."

Liu Dezhu's expression became even more conflicted. "Boss, was the sniper who suddenly appeared in City No. 18 the night before last?"

Boss: "It's me."

Liu Dezhu: "Boss is awesome! Boss is forever a god!"

Qing Chen looked up at Liu Dezhu, only to see the guy excitedly gesturing wildly, saying to Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen, "See? I told you it was the boss! Only the boss could be this good. Snipers are rare; how could so many such skilled snipers appear all at once!"

Qing Chen: "..."

But Liu Dezhu continued, "I saw someone online explain that the boss's firing point was in the Jinmao Building. People up there could hear the gunshots very, very close. And those snipers who were trying to assassinate Li Changqing were more than 2,000 meters away. The boss killed them all with one shot each! Awesome! From now on, I'll be the boss's most loyal fan! But why did the boss save Li Changqing? Is it because of this woman...? I heard Li Changqing very beautiful. Some people say she's the 'Bamboo Leaf Green' of the intelligence world—beautiful and ruthless."

Knowing Qing Chen's true identity, Nan Gengchen and Jiang Xue stared blankly at Liu Dezhu, who was gesturing wildly, thinking to themselves that this silly kid was going to keep going and was even catching up with Nan Gengchen.

Your boss is sitting right in front of you, listening to you gossip about him...

Fearing that Liu Dezhu would continue talking, Jiang Xue smiled and called to everyone, "The food is ready, come and eat!"

However, at that moment, the doorbell rang from inside the villa.

Liu Dezhu carefully walked over to open the door, and Lian Qing Chen also stood up.

Upon opening the door, Liu Dezhu saw Zhang Chengze standing outside looking anxious. He looked at Liu Dezhu and asked, "Um... is the boss here?"

Liu Dezhu asked curiously, "What do you want with the boss in the middle of the night? Our boss doesn't live here."

"It's like this," Zhang Chengze hesitated for a moment before saying, "I've also recruited some Time Walker from my company. It's not for any other reason than that if the boss has any instructions, we can do them, and we guarantee to cooperate."

"Okay, go back now," Liu Dezhu said.

After closing the door, Liu Dezhu wondered, "What's gotten into that old man?"

Zhang Tianzhen pushed up his glasses and said, "In the Inner World, I hinted to him that we don't intend to bring so many burdens here during the day. Luo Wanyai is capable and pragmatic, and may be more in line with our protection requirements."

Qing Chen immediately understood.

Zhang Tianzhen actually secretly instigated the infighting between Zhang Chengze and Luo Wanyai...

No wonder Luo Wanyai and Zhang Chengze kept expressing their loyalty late at night.

Zhang Tianzhen said, "After all, Bai Zhou is a newly established company, and the boss needs some external helpers so that he doesn't have to do everything himself. There are some things that he can't do in person, so he can let me do them. I'll do the bad things, and it has nothing to do with the boss."

Qing Chen sighed, realizing that Zhang Tianzhen was a talent he had once underestimated.

As everyone gathered around the table for a late-night snack, Qing Chen asked, "What's your progress in cultivation?"

Liu Dezhu said, "Without Qing Chen's guidance in entering meditation, it would have taken us a long time to get into the state, which delayed our progress in cultivation."

Qing Chen looked at Nan Gengchen: "And you?"

Nan Gengchen hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have illuminated all the bright spots of the Great Circulation."

Qing Chen: "..."

Now, everyone around the dining table fell silent.

You should know that Zhang Tianzhen and Liu Dezhu are still far from completing the Great Circulation, and Nan Gengchen's talent is not much stronger than theirs, so how could he suddenly cultivate so quickly?!

"Take care of yourself," Qing Chen said meaningfully.

Nan Gengchen was almost in tears. "I want to too, but Li Yinuo is a Martial Arts Enthusiast. She is extremely focused on everything related to cultivation, and I can't beat her."

Hu Xiaoniu and the others were puzzled when they heard this. What was all this about? They couldn't understand it at all.

Qing Chen silently mourned for Nan Gengchen for two seconds before opening He Xiaoxiao's group chat.

But as soon as the Chuang Wang returned, he released important information. "Everyone, I'm afraid something really bad is going to happen to the Li family. Last night, Li Yunmu, the commander of the first-class regiment of the Federation, suddenly left the army on a Class A main airship. He should be returning to City No. 18 to attend the funeral."

Li Si: "It seems like something really big is about to happen to the Li family, probably soon. Did you know there's been a new development in the Shadow Struggle? Qing Zhong and Qing Wen clashed, and then Qing Zhong was shot and killed by a group of Time Walker. His Forbidden Item was stolen, and even Qing Wen was shot. However, Qing Wen has the Forbidden Item ACE-090 Immortal Brooch, so he shouldn't die."

"Who stole it?" Yue'er asked curiously.

"I don't know, it was a group of people who got together, and in the end, no one knows who took it," Li Si replied.

The group fell silent for a moment, everyone was a little envious, that was Forbidden Item!

How many Time Walker dreamed of obtaining a Forbidden Item?

In many people's minds, only those Time Walker possess a Forbidden Item can be considered the best among all people.

Looking at the chat history, Qing Chen suddenly wondered if Li Si had already gotten on the good side of a candidate, otherwise how would he know so much?

Considering their previous concern about the Shadow Struggle, it should be correct.

However, at this moment, Zard, who had been silent until now, suddenly started talking. "There really are people who aren't afraid of death who dare to rob Shadow Candidate? Haven't they inquired about the previous Shadow Struggle?"

Chuang Wang: "What do you mean?"

Zard: " In the Shadow Struggle, the candidates are not to be touched by outsiders. Fighting among the candidates is fine, but if outsiders try to ambush a candidate, the Qing Clan will hunt them down to the ends of the earth, unless you escape to the wilderness and never return to the city. Don't you even know this? You still dare to plunder Shadow Candidate? You're just asking for trouble!"

Lu Ya: "The consequences are that serious?"

Zard said gloatingly, "Otherwise, why do you think no one has paid attention to the Shadow Candidate for so long, given how many experts Inner World? Are you the only smart ones? Are you the only ones who know that the Candidates have Forbidden Item? Oh, so you're the one who stole Qing Zhong's Forbidden Item, aren't you? Hurry up and run, or it'll be too late."

Lu Ya seemed to be in a bit of a bind as well. He suppressed his anger and asked, "How can we resolve this? I don't think the Qing family can find me."

Zard: "Are you willing to risk your life?"

At this moment, Ice Eye suddenly said in the group, "Next time you travel through time, immediately find a Shadow Candidate and join him. Then you will be one of the people within the rules."

Zard: "Wow, that's a good idea. If I'm not mistaken, this Ice Eye should be one of Daylight's people. Daylight is indeed full of talented people. By the way, is Daylight still recruiting? I can try to persuade my boss to join you."

Ice Eye: "..."

At this moment, the ID "Qing Bao" suddenly asked in the group, "I also want to ask, are you still recruiting during the day?"

In a hotel somewhere in the north, a girl with a ponytail is packing her luggage.

She took out her phone to check again, and seeing that Ice Eye hadn't replied, she muttered to herself, "What's going on? Has Daylight stopped accepting people? Or was my question too abrupt and a bit impolite?"

"However, I'm still being hunted down by the Kamishiro Family. Would joining the White Day implicate them?"

"It wouldn't hurt to take a look and confirm if that person... is someone I know."

"I'm suddenly so nervous. We haven't even set off yet. What if he recognizes me at first glance? Does our engagement still count in the Outer World?"

Perhaps because she was too lonely, the girl seemed to particularly enjoy talking to herself.

On her phone, she received a message from a friend informing her that her home had been illegally broken into and ransacked.

There were also some strange people who went to her former school to inquire about her, and even asked her classmates if they knew her whereabouts or if they had kept in touch with her.

The girl was annoyed when she saw these messages; why were those people so persistent?

The girl checked her itinerary on her phone again before dragging her suitcase outside.

However, as soon as the girl opened the door, she saw a young man standing there with a smile. He was wearing a gray suit and holding a pure silver deer-head cane.

"Hello, Ms. Kamishiro Kono," the young man introduced himself. "I am He Jinqiu from Jiuzhou. It's a pleasure to meet you. I hope I haven't startled you."

There's a 5,000-word chapter, and another chapter will be released at 11 PM tonight.

Thank you Glint for becoming a new ally of this book. Boss is generous, and the boss never suffers from insomnia!
