Wu Youren had long suffered at the Intelligence Agency, and in his mind, it was the second greatest enemy after the Life and Death Knot.
However, he also knew very well that the Intelligence Agency was the proper intelligence agency, and he wasn't even worthy of Life and Death Knot its shoes.
To take down Salim, he only needed to consider the time it would take to travel back and forth, whether he could defeat him, and how to erase all traces of his defeat.
But the Intelligence Agency is different; they're professionals, and I don't know how many ways they have to take photos or record audio.
Killing Salim could be framed on the barbarians, but the murder of Intelligence Agency leaves much more room for speculation.
" Intelligence Agency? A bunch of chickens and dogs," Scops Owl replied without hesitation. "Tell me, who do you want to kill?"
"Let's see whose knife looks most like my old one," Wu Youren said without hesitation. "Be careful of the Intelligence Agency's methods."
"What kind of tricks are those?" Chen Quanxu disdainfully. "I could have killed double digits of those guys!"
So this is what you're like now... The boy didn't want to upset him, "Just find something decent, no need to make a big fuss."
"That's true," the Scops Owl nodded. "You rest tonight, I'll go check on you."
"No!" Wu Youren reacted strongly upon hearing this, "Let's go together!"
"Don't worry, I won't attract Weird Qi this time," Chen Quanxu muttered softly. "What about the trust of our partners?"
"You just ruined my trust!" The boy rolled his eyes. "Since you're so capable, how about you help me collect a debt?"
After hearing his explanation, the Scops Owl shook its head speechlessly. "This little bit of junk, and you're still so hung up on it? You should worry about something more important."
"Am I a petty person?" Wu Youren retorted irritably. "It's just that I'm in a bad mood."
"Alright," the Scops Owl pulled a leather pouch from behind him and tossed it in front of him, "Your orange pits."
"I don't think I've been pressuring you," the boy said, taking the bag. "Aren't you going to kill any more ghosts lately?"
"In another three to five days, his breath will be gone," Chen Quanxu replied calmly. "Rest for a couple of days first. You don't want to provoke Divine Might, do you?"
That's it? The young man was speechless. According to what the other party had originally said, it should still last for more than half a month.
That means we used too much yesterday! Wu Youren felt it was normal; making such a big commotion must have consumed a lot of energy.
He opened the leather pouch and glanced at it, but couldn't sense any change in the orange seeds.
However, that faint wisp of black seemed to have lightened a bit.
Then he immediately tightened the bag's opening. "Could it really attract Divine Might?"
The Scops Owl remained silent for a while before asking, "What kind of being can Weird Transformation Ability User being into a demon?"
"Forget it," Wu Youren thought, then suddenly remembered something, "Oh no, Little Ha..."
The little snow hawk was locked in the cellar for half the night and most of the day, but it actually slept the whole time.
However, as soon as the cellar cover was opened, it immediately woke up, flapping its wings and trying to fly out, chirping all the while.
Unfortunately, the cellar was a little over a meter deep, and it was still just a fledgling. It kept bumping against the pit walls, but couldn't fly out.
"Don't make a sound!" The boy looked at it calmly, and seeing that it wouldn't listen, he closed the lid again.
This snow harrier has the potential to grow into a spirit, so it should be quite intelligent. He had previously tried to train it to some extent.
He'll be involved in many more battles in the future, and if the little guy keeps yelling without understanding, it'll cause a lot of trouble.
Before Little Ha produced that huge puddle, Wu Youren thought that if he couldn't tame it properly, he might have to strangle it during a fight.
But the taming efforts now need to be doubled; it's essential.
Well, it's not about the orange seeds; it's purely about respecting every life.
However, this time the Little Ha was very frightened and starving, making it more difficult to train than usual.
Wu Youren used a combination of intimidation and enticement to tame the Scops Owl until nightfall, not even noticing when it left.
Chen Quanxu did not return until dawn the next day.
The main problem is that the wasteland is in a bit of chaos right now. The Scops Owl has attracted some Weird Qi, and the gaps caused by the impact haven't been completely repaired yet.
However, he only briefly touched upon those chaotic situations and didn't say anything more.
After a night of hard work, he located three Intelligence Agency personnel, but did not find anyone with " Sister Hua's " characteristics.
"Never mind then," the boy's obsession wasn't very strong, "Do you have a suitable knife?"
"We don't lack any," Scops Owl replied. "I've checked; you can steal one from anyone. Aren't you thinking about revenge?"
"No rush," Wu Youren shook his head, "Steal a knife first, and I'll escort you back to Tianjing."
Instructor Hong wouldn't let him go to the city, but it didn't matter; he could just bury the watch temporarily, just like the guard captain's.
The real issue is that Chen Quanxu Shadow-Splitting Yue so much; what if something goes wrong on the way back with a Scops Owl?
The Scops Owl didn't refuse. "Then I'll steal one for you tonight, and we'll leave tonight."
This guy had it really easy to commit the crime; he came back with a knife shortly after dark.
Wu Youren finally understood why Chen Quanxu was so short of money.
With both Scops Owl and rats involved, how could he possibly be trapped by money?
If it weren't for his obsession... it wouldn't be difficult for him to live a life of debauchery in Liang.
The boy rode off on his motorcycle, intending for the Scops Owl to perch on his other shoulder.
However, Chen Quanxu stated that the aerial view offers a better perspective and a wider range of perception.
It took five hours, almost dawn, for the motorcycle to reach the outskirts of the city.
Wu Youren found a grove of trees, used his Sand and Stone Technique to dig out a cellar, and pushed the motorcycle inside to hide it.
Then he watched the Scops Owl fly into the bustling city center.
There were checkpoints on the way into the city, and Wu Youren's identity could not be verified, so he could only climb over the houses along the roadside before dawn.
He wasn't interested in seeing where the Scops Owl had flown to; he simply wanted to wander around by himself this time.
The boy found a corner and squatted there until dawn. When more people appeared on the street, he mingled among them.
There were breakfast stalls along the roadside, and after looking at several, he was surprised to find that some of them sold pancakes.
Meat rolls in pancakes... this way of eating is quite rare, and there's also hot meat broth with noodles inside.

Regardless of the taste, this was the first time he had eaten at a roadside stall since he transmigrated.
He finished his meal at a leisurely pace, strolled around the city of Tianjing, and pondered whether he should go to the place the head of the guard had mentioned to make contact.
Suddenly, a faint commotion appeared ahead, along with the sound of musical instruments.
Wu Youren wasn't one to enjoy crowds, but he found it difficult to connect with the everyday life around him, so he decided to observe from afar.
Upon closer inquiry, I learned that the son of a family here had awakened!
In Tianjing, let alone Ability User Apprentice, even advancing to the rank of Knight is a major event.
This applies to ordinary families as well as wealthy and powerful families; it's absolutely worthwhile to host a grand banquet for guests.
Don't say Knight are everywhere and apprentices are as common as dogs. The rituals for becoming Knight are certainly fewer than those for getting married, right?
This family was quite well-off; not only did they host guests at home, but they also set up a continuous feast on the street to celebrate for three days.
Neighbors can eat for free; even a passerby saying auspicious words will fill them to the brim.
Only those who are poorly dressed will be excluded, but they might be able to get some leftovers when it gets dark.
The awakening of ordinary people is equivalent to a leap in social class—and not necessarily just one class. It's perfectly normal for such celebrations to be grand.
Wu Youren had originally intended to just take a look from afar, but... it turned out to be related to Ability User?
He had to get closer, so he followed the flow of people.
The so-called "flowing banquet" is actually just ordinary meat porridge, plus some staple food and some cheap drinks.
But regardless, with wine and meat provided, and no need for gifts, considering the current state of Liang, it's not a bad deal, is it?
Only someone who rises to the top so quickly can afford to be so extravagant.
Wu Youren followed closely behind and walked up to the middle-aged man in charge.
He cupped his hands in greeting, about to offer a few words of blessing, when the other person raised an eyebrow and asked, "How should I address you, friend?"
"No one asked anything before," the boy paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "I'm from out of town, just here to join in the fun."
I'm just going to freeload, so please don't ask any more questions, okay?
However, the middle-aged man shook his head, looked him up and down, and said, "With your status, you can't be with them... Please come into the courtyard."
You can't blame them for treating people differently based on their appearance; Wu Youren was not only handsome, but he also carried a long knife on his back and a curved knife at his waist.
Just these two cold weapons alone are not something an ordinary family could afford.
Not to mention there was a bird perched on its shoulder; although it looked immature, it was definitely a bird of prey.
Although the boy was rather thin, he was clearly young and hadn't yet developed horizontally.
The middle-aged man had seen several of these down-on-their-luck individuals who used their cold weapons to freeload—there were quite a few of them in the courtyard now, and he couldn't stop them.
However, this person stated directly, "I'm just here to join in the fun; I didn't intend to go into the courtyard."
"Absolutely not!" the middle-aged man thought to himself. "I'm not blind!"
If the other party insists on entering the yard, he might need to consider what the situation is.
But they completely disregard that kind of treatment. What does that tell us?
On a small scale, they might have perished; on a larger scale, they were just there to join in the fun!
What is the most important thing for the host family who is about to achieve great success?
All sorts of blessings are child's play; the important thing is to build a wide network of connections and avoid making enemies!
The other party may not care, but he can't be ignorant. "The outside world is full of roughnecks; the environment inside is much better!"
Wu Youren was also a bit speechless. "I just came here to experience the everyday life," he said, "I don't know the host family."
"Alright, kid," the middle-aged man said impatiently, shoving him, "Is it really a bad thing to know a future Ability User?"
Without realizing it, Wu Youren was pushed into the courtyard.
The courtyard is quite large, covering tens of thousands of square meters, and further inside there is a three-story building.
It wasn't even noon yet, but tables had already been set up in the courtyard—about a hundred of them.
Some people had already taken their seats, but most were standing, observing, and chatting.
Wu Youren saw a gift collection table in the distance and went over to give two silver dollars.
Since he'd been called in, he figured he might as well offer a share; he didn't want any trouble. "Make a note of it, Liu Jingming."
