Nangong Yuanyu frequently visited Zhengcheng, and each time he would stay at Sun Chuci's house. The two were very close cousins.

He had previously invited Sun Chuci to visit Luocheng, but due to his studies, he hadn't had much free time.

He knew that his cousin had also become Time Walker in Zhengcheng and had his own small team, so he wanted to know about the situation in Zhengcheng.

Nangong Yuanyu said with a smile, "I'll take you to the Old Luocheng Noodle Shop first, so you can try the local specialties, and then I'll take you out for a late-night snack."

But Sun Chuci wasn't really concerned about food right now; he asked directly, "Who was that person you were just talking to...?"

He recalled the imposing figure from behind and suddenly felt that it resembled the important person he knew.

Sun Chuci was a little unsure when the other person left the station alone, since they were quite different from the one he had met in the Inner World.

But now, they've come up together...

Nangong Yuanyu was taken aback. "What's wrong? You know them? They're important members of Bai Zhou, and they seem to have just returned from out of town."

Sun Chuci hesitated for a moment. "Are you Freemasons very familiar with Daylight? This organization seems to be mentioned quite often lately."

"We're pretty close, I'd say. Bai Zhou has taken good care of us. When the Freemasons encountered some danger in the Inner World, it was Bai Zhou who helped us escape," Nangong Yuanyu explained. "Now the Freemasons and Bai Zhou have a very good relationship."

Previously, Guo Huzhan led the Freemasons to pretend to be lost in Forbidden Zone No. 002, attempting to win over some people...

As a result, the bald man put on a great show, but Qing Chen reaped a wave of gratitude from the Freemasons.

"What was the name of the person you were just chatting with?" Sun Chuci asked curiously.

"There's nothing wrong with talking about this. His name is Qing Chen, and he's one of the most important people in Bai Zhou. He makes the decisions on many things," Nangong Yuanyu said.

After he finished speaking, he found his cousin standing there, stunned. "What, you really know him?"

Sun Chuci and Tuanzi exchanged bewildered glances. Could it really be that important figure?!

Before they came, they were discussing whether Daylight could compare to Haicheng's 'Matrix' and Jingcheng's 'Red Leaves'. Now it seems that their understanding of Daylight was still superficial.

Even if the Matrix has great earning power and influence, it's only within one city. The hacker inside them wouldn't dare to be exposed in the Inner World either.

What are hackers to truly powerful people?

Qing Chen is different; he is the true ruler of the Federation and has law enforcement power.

Moreover, recalling that night at the barbecue restaurant, Sun Chuci found it hard to imagine that the boy protected and surrounded by dozens of people was actually a Time Walker like himself.

Why is the other person doing so well, while he still has to work hard and risk his life to earn money in the wilderness...?

Perhaps this is the difference between people.

"Hmm," Sun Chuci nodded with a complicated expression, "Do you know that his identity in the Inner World is that of a big figure in a conglomerate? He has already taken charge of the 7th Group of the Intelligence Department One Division of the PCA Federal CIA and has become the youngest inspector. Some people even say that he may become the youngest director of the PCA Federal CIA in federal history. He is the most sought-after person in City No. 10."

After speaking, Sun Chuci looked at Nangong Yuanyu, only to find that the other party was not surprised. "You know about this?"

Nangong Yuanyu shook her head. "Although I don't know, I'm not surprised... Cousin, you don't understand the White Day organization. Even if someone told me that a patriarch of a conglomerate was among the White Day members, I wouldn't be particularly surprised... What I mean is, they've given you enough surprises already, you're numb."

Nowadays, Nangong Yuanyu and the others go to Luo Wanyai's villa every day to cultivate together. In just half a month, the average strength of the Freemasons has reached E-Class.

If it weren't for the fact that they still had to obey the shadow of the Qing family in the Inner World, the Freemasons might have already become their new family.

Every day during their practice, they faced an inner struggle: the daylight was so kind to them, yet they couldn't join it...

Sun Chuci tentatively asked, "May I go with you to meet the people of Bai Zhou?"

Nangong Yuanyu shook her head. "That's not appropriate. We're just guests there, freeloading..."

Sun Chuci nodded. "Then forget it."

He glanced at Tuanzi and the others. To be honest, they hadn't expected to be associated with Bai Zhou, but this situation only strengthened Sun Chuci's determination to curry favor with him.

In the past, he worried that the other party was a powerful figure in a conglomerate who viewed human lives as worthless, and that following such a powerful figure would easily make them cannon fodder.

But things are different now. Bai Zhou's reputation has always been positive, and they have even participated in the fight against Jindai and Kashima. Isn't that a hundred times better than Dragon Lake Commune?

Sun Chuci felt that even saying it was a hundred times stronger was an understatement.

However, Qing Chen probably doesn't know yet that he has already discovered the other party's identity Time Walker...

At this moment, Nangong Yuanyu said, "Cousin, have you received the message from Kunlun about the Time Walker' Joint Conference next week?"

"Received it. Are you planning to go?" Sun Chuci nodded.

"The Freemasons aren't sure yet," Nangong Yuanyu said. "We have to ask Bai Zhou; we'll only go if they go."

Sun Chuci glanced at his cousin in surprise. He knew how proud and arrogant his cousin was, but now he was completely following Bai Zhou's lead.

He asked with a smile, "Where's your arrogance as a top student?"

Nangong Yuanyu smiled bitterly, "Cousin, if you were to be completely outclassed like me, you would be just like me. I used to think that at least I was good at studying, but do you know how many points Qing Chen got in the competition? A perfect score... So, all my pride is gone."

Sun Chuci thought to himself... Actually, his cousin didn't know that he was crushed even more thoroughly.

Just then, his phone rang. When he answered it, he was surprised to see that it was Li Yi from Dragon Lake Commune.

Li Yi calmly asked, "Sun Chuci, I'm giving you one last chance. Will you join Dragon Lake Commune?"

Sun Chuci thought for a moment and asked, "Is Dragon Lake Commune planning to recruit again before the Time Walker' Alliance meeting to improve its standing within the alliance?"

Li Yi said coldly, "You don't need to worry about that."

Sun Chuci said, "I'm sorry, I will not join Dragon Lake Commune. Please don't call me again."

At this moment, Sun Chuci realized that she had made a better choice.

At this moment, Qing Chen sat in the back seat of the Maybach, while Luo Wanyai remained low-key as the driver.

Luo Wanyai glanced at the rearview mirror and cautiously inquired, "Boss, did the trip go smoothly?"

"Not bad," Qing Chen smiled. "By the way, I have a new task for you. When we get back, I'll send you some materials. You and a few others take them to the Inner World and use the Parent's Association's reach to spread the word to your families."

Luo Wanyai asked curiously, "Boss, what kind of information?"

"To enlighten the people," Qing Chen replied.

This is his reward to Yang Yang.

The other person saved him at sea, so he will do something for them.

Spade and Yang Yang are now organizing student marches in order to awaken the people of the Federation through this kind of "shout".

However, their strength was still limited, so Qing Chen lent them a hand by using the Parent's Association's viral reach to make this happen.

Qing Chen didn't know if this matter would be helpful, but doing it was better than doing nothing.

He said to Luo Wanyai, "Having traveled through the Inner World, we should do something to protect ourselves. Perhaps this is why some will allowed us to travel through time."

Luo Wanyai sat up straight as he drove, suddenly feeling that his Parent's Association had become more sophisticated and had a new direction...

Just then, Qing Chen received a private message in He Xiaoxiao's group chat. It was sent in the name of Jingshan: "We cordially invite you to attend the Time Walker Joint Conference at the Zhengzhou North Longhu Convention and Exhibition Center in 7 days. If you attend, please fill out the reply form. Food and accommodation will be provided by the organizer. You may attend anonymously and wear a mask..."

"Did you receive the message?" Qing Chen looked up at Luo Wanyai.

Luo Wanyai said, "I received it, boss. Are you going to participate?"

"I'll go," Qing Chen nodded. "This is a rare opportunity to meet Time Walker from all over the country, how can I not go? You should go too. We're both currently in City No. 10, so remember some of the characteristics of Time Walker in Zheng City. They might come in handy. By the way, do your homework beforehand and see if any publicly known Time Walker in Zheng City are carrying Forbidden Item."

Luo Wanyai glanced at Qing Chen in the rearview mirror and suddenly realized that this boss might be planning something by attending this meeting...

I pray that those Time Walker are alright.

When the vehicle returned to the Guobao Garden villa area, Luo Wanyai suddenly paused. "Boss, Qin Shuli..."

Qing Chen looked up and saw Qin Shuli standing alone at the entrance of Luo Wanyai's villa. "Did he want to see you?"

"It's nothing," Luo Wanyai explained. "After he found out he was going to become Time Walker, he came to my place every day, sometimes bringing some fruit, sometimes some cigarettes and alcohol. He's probably worried that I won't want to help him when I get to the Inner World."

"Yes, that's only natural. Time Walker are always anxious before their first time traveling through time. They'll get used to it," Qing Chen said. "Once you get to the Inner World, just make sure he's not in any danger. You don't need to have too much contact with him. You yourself shouldn't have any dealings with him, and don't let him get too close to daylight."

Luo Wanyai hummed in agreement.

Qin Shuli was standing at the door waiting for Luo Wanyai when he noticed that the two familiar Maybachs had driven directly into the courtyard next door, number 12.

He tried to peek out from under the car, but a security guard blocked him with a forced smile, "Excuse me, this is a private residence. Please do not look around."

Qin Shuli quickly said, "I'm sorry..."

Happy birthday to Xiao Qi! May Xiao Qi always be carefree and happy. And may Xiao Qi always remain sincere!
