You Don't Want To... / How Noble of You! How Impressive!

My brother's fate is now unknown, damn it!

After finishing all this, Zhao Lei planned to return to the Eastern District to consult with his superiors. These big shots might become his superiors in the future, so he definitely needed to get on their good side first and take the opportunity to learn from them.

Now that he's practically a new member of the Linzhuo branch, this small request—getting some perks—shouldn't be a problem.

At three o'clock, Ji Chen was sitting in his office dealing with official business. When he heard the news reported by his subordinate, he simply told Zhao Lei to go to the training ground in the basement to "play" and didn't ask too many questions.

But when Zhao Lei heard that he could go to the training ground to "play," he was quite relieved.

But then, he also sensed a hint of "insult" in it!

My brother is destined for great things; how could he only know how to "play"?

Damn it, don't look down on people!

Upon arriving at the training ground, Zhao Lei followed the "Agent's Handbook" and did a few minutes of warm-up exercises. Then he started doing advanced training exercises to ensure that every muscle group in his body was worked. As a result, his muscles exploded after the workout!

After sweating profusely for an hour, he went to the target range to practice shooting and fencing.

Later, a squad leader at the base heard about this and was very interested. He even specially applied for a training pistol and portable firearms for him to practice with. It was at this time that Zhao Lei realized that his spring was finally coming!

An agent needed to conduct routine training and happened to be short of a stuntman, so they pulled him over to be their training partner.

Despite being constantly getting thrashed, Zhao Lei still seemed to enjoy it immensely.

As the saying goes, failure is the mother of success.

To succeed, you don't necessarily have to fail, but you must hone your skills and make yourself sharper (more stable).

He felt he had "enlightened"!

Time quickly passed and evening arrived. After wiping the sweat off my body with a towel and changing into my usual clothes, it was about time.

It's almost time for dinner!

At 8 p. m., Ling Mengxue finished her day's work and went home on her way.

Xi He cannot provide all the answers, but can only offer some analysis of a certain "thing." At least, this is how the Destiny Sign at this level are at present.

Having no other option, she sought help from "experts," but ultimately failed to obtain a better or deeper result.

In one afternoon, she not only went back and forth to Catgirl Paradise to find the magic librarian Fang Zi, but also went to the Linzhou Magic Association to find "Big Sister" for answers, only to find that she wasn't there and had supposedly gone on a "business trip" to another city. Afterwards, she went to the ancient city to try her luck with Lin Danyue, running around all over the place and almost exhausting herself.

At this stage, the "busy" summer vacation has just begun, and everyone is very busy. Even if they were interested in sitting down to discuss, they wouldn't have the time.

We can't just...

Ugh, we can't exactly go find the Magic Trio, can we?

Thinking of the class monitor, vice class monitor, and her good deskmate, Ling Mengxue felt a mix of emotions.

I heard Tang Ling said they're planning to go to Star Prefecture this holiday. Even if they really went to look for someone, they probably wouldn't be able to find them.

Indeed, I still have to rely on myself.

"Luo Luo, I'm back. Here's something for you... Hey~ boil water and cook."

Seeing that there was no movement, Ling Mengxue felt a little strange.

At this time of day, Ling Luoluo would usually yell and shout, calling for either her brother or sister, then act cute and give her a big hug, making it hard to get away, and then make her demands.

Is this... a change of heart?

Upon entering the living room, the lights were still on, and the movie "Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!" was playing on the screen, but Ling Mengxue looked around and couldn't see a single person.

Strangeness.

"..."

"Luo Luo?"

"Luoluo the Little Genius?"

"Huh? Where did everyone go??"

Ling Mengxue didn't have too many doubts. Thinking that her younger sister might be upstairs, she prepared to go up and call her. Just as she reached the top of the stairs, she suddenly heard a noise coming from the kitchen, and she immediately stopped in her tracks.

"Stop! This belongs to Luo Luo, you can't take it!"

"Ah, I am the great Dark Angels! If you will give it to me, I will introduce you to the Lord!"

"Huh? Really? Luo Luo hasn't read many books, you can't lie to me."

"No way! The great Dark Angels wouldn't lie! Only a dog would lie!"

"Alright then~ You have to keep your word, this is Luo Luo's favorite..."

"Stop--!!" Ling Mengxue, who had been hiding behind the door, couldn't stand it anymore. She turned around and walked in, feeling somewhat strange.

"Wow! My sister's back!"

Ling Luoluo tilted her head slightly, her little face lit up with joy, and she scrambled up from the ground and pounced on him.

Ling Mengxue didn't pay much attention and quickly shifted her attention to another girl, but she was somewhat surprised when she saw the girl's face.

"Ye... Ye Xiaoying?"

So this is the guy who wanted to introduce his sister to that so-called "Lord"?

Damn it, Chu Yun! I already know it was you who did this! If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I'm going to... I'm going to tattle on you...

Let Xi Yan teach you a lesson for me!

Mo Chuyun: 6??

"It's me, it's me~ I am the one you said I have, it's nice to meet you again, sister. But I would prefer you to call me the great 'Dark Angels'!"

"..."

I'm speechless, okay?

Ling Mengxue looked at Ling Luoluo, also quite puzzled, "Luo Luo, where did you find her?"

"Huh? Didn't my sister bring her home this morning?"

Ling Luoluo looked slightly confused and explained, "It's that huge gift box! My sister wasn't here, so I opened it for her. Luo Luo thought her sister bought it to play with me~"

"Gift box?"

Ling Mengxue suddenly realized what had happened that morning, and then looked at Ye Xiaoying: "You're that believer?"

"Yes, yes, I am now yours, but I would prefer you to call me the esteemed ' Dark Angels '~"

Ye Xiaoying raised her head confidently and patted her chest at Ling Mengxue: "Her Majesty the Queen said that during her absence, Xiaoying belongs to you, sister. You can use me however you want... that's all you can do. Okay, that's all."

What do you mean by "that's all"?

"No need, you can leave."

Ling Mengxue silently rolled her eyes and prepared to ask the person to leave the house.

Allowing a minor to stay overnight at home is not only morally reprehensible and has a negative impact, but what if Xiaoyu finds out? How could she possibly live with herself then?

"No!" Ye Xiaoying panicked when she saw this scene. Her eyes reddened, and she rushed forward to hug Ling Mengxue's leg, pleading at the top of her lungs with a sob in her voice.

"Sister, please don't! Please don't send me away! If Xiaoying leaves tonight, I'm doomed! Her Majesty the Queen won't let me go!"

"Oh, does it have much to do with me?" Ling Mengxue frowned, but seeing Ye Xiaoying's flustered and pleading expression, she softened and felt a bitter taste in her mouth.

That sounds pretty serious!

Is it really all over?

I really won't let you go?

Is my life in danger?

Chu Yun, your Fallen Angel Alliance is in a bit of a danger. Don't you usually keep an eye on things?

I must bring this up next time we meet. You treat me like a younger sister and have helped me so many times. It's not only out of kindness but also out of reason that I can't watch you get more and more involved!

Ling Luoluo stood to the side, watching this girl, who was just as cute as herself, cry so pitifully. Her compassion quickly overwhelmed her, and she went over to tug at Ling Mengxue's sleeve. "Sister, she's so pitiful! Can we let her stay? She can share a room with me. If Sister Xiaoyu brings it up, just say she's Luo Luo's classmate. We can definitely get away with it!"

Can you get away with it?

You little rascal, you're up to something, aren't you?

Ling Mengxue was speechless, but she could also tell that her younger sister was just like her, always alone. Now that she finally wanted a playmate, she missed out on it, and her sister would probably be sad.

The problem is... Luo Luo, you usually stay at the Magic Association, and your studies and courses are taught by the older sisters there. You don't have any classmates at all!

Feeling helpless, Ling Mengxue didn't completely shut up. Now that she was an older sister herself, she had to at least consider her younger sister's feelings.

After careful consideration, she silently held up three fingers, her face expressionless, trying to appear as a fair and impartial judge. "Alright, but we have three rules."

"Really?! Sister agreed?!" Ling Luoluo shouted, her eyes shining with excitement.

Ye Xiaoying was in a similar state to Ling Luoluo. She wiped her eyes, her face showing a little shyness, but the excitement in her eyes was even stronger, as if she had accomplished some great feat that was very worthy of pride.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Then... Sister, how should I address you? You are someone that His Majesty and His Majesty the Queen specifically designated to take care of, and now you are considered my third master. How about I just call you Master from now on?" Ye Xiaoying's face was slightly flushed.

"No, you're reminding me of a bad memory again." Ling Mengxue said helplessly, pushing the person aside and leading them into the living room.

"Xiaoying, right? You can call me Sister Ling, just like Luo Luo does. I guess you won't be staying for long, so just say you're the younger sister of one of my classmates who's temporarily staying here because of some family matters. That should help you stay hidden a little longer, understand?"

"Mmm! Don't worry, Sister Ling, Xiaoying eats very little! And she even earns money, so... so she can pay the rent!" As she finished speaking, Ye Xiaoying's voice noticeably weakened.

Young lady, you seem a bit unsure of yourself. Perhaps you're short of money?

No money? Not enough money?

You don't want your sister to use your body as collateral... cough, stop.

We're all decent people~

"No need for rent or anything, just spend more time with Luo Luo for me, I'll even pay you your salary~" Ling Mengxue smiled slightly.

Upon hearing this, Ling Luoluo immediately became displeased, her face flushed red, her cheeks puffed out slightly, and her lips unconsciously pursed. "Sister, what are you saying?! Your place in Luo Luo's heart is irreplaceable!"

[img=700,862]htt [img=700,847]htt It's recommended to wait until the next day~ Staying up late is bad for your health.☆

[img=651,640]htt Chapter Fifty-Six: You're so arrogant! You're so great!

The three of them enjoyed a cozy dinner that evening.

Ling Mengxue stayed at home for more than an hour, making sure her two aunts were comfortable, before hurriedly leaving.

It's about 9:30. I'll take a ride to Eastern District to meet Zhao Lei, and then head to the mission location. That should be about right.

She had no clue when or where the rumors about the "Ghost Castle" started, nor did she pay much attention to them.

If we were to search according to Zhao Lei's suggestion, it would undoubtedly be like looking for a needle in a haystack, much like following an ancient "folk tale." Even the Special Management Department only discovered that there was a problem with that particular area of land.

If any trace of magic is merely something an ordinary person happens to see or hear while passing by, and then spreads it around, finding the person won't help. It's better to investigate on the spot.

Moreover, the most detailed "tool person" who recorded everything is right beside us now; Zhao Lei and his group experienced it firsthand in the castle. It would be unwise to wander around aimlessly again.

10 PM, Eastern District, Special Management Department office building.

At this time, only the lights on the second floor and the lobby on the first floor of the entire building were still on, and there were dedicated staff managing them.

On a summer night, a refreshing breeze blows, and everything on earth seems to breathe a sigh of relief. The cicadas' chirping is no longer as restless and urgent as it was at midday; instead, it is leisurely and graceful.

A gentle breeze blew, and apart from the occasional bark of a dog, the deserted street was silent.
