"Qi Lin, you know him???"
Qiangwei, who was sitting beside Qi Lin, heard a familiar name and asked curiously.
"Mm, he... could be considered my boyfriend!!!"
Qi Lin did not hide it and said it outright. He had given her a week to think about it, and today marked the start of that week. She felt she had more or less made up her mind.
"I need information about him. You need to provide it!!!"
The moment Qiangwei heard that he was Qi Lin's boyfriend, she turned serious and said sternly.
"Why should I give it to you just because you asked!!!"
Qi Lin answered without any courtesy. She did not know who Qiangwei was, and she would not reveal Long Qian's secrets to anyone else.
"You... his existence concerns national security..."
"So what!!!"
The proud Qi Lin was not about to indulge Qiangwei. Why should she hand it over just because Qiangwei demanded it?
Although she did not know who that angel was, she guessed it was the angel who had appeared that day. Long Qian's identity had always been a mystery, and she did not want to tell anyone.
They had spent several days together. Long Qian was not a bad person, much less someone who would endanger national security.
Therefore, she did not believe Qiangwei's aggressive questioning at all.
"Hey... why are you two arguing?"
Rui Mengmeng, the well-behaved girl sitting nearby, hurriedly tried to mediate. How had these two older sisters suddenly started fighting?
"Hey, hey, hey, did you hear? Aliens! Aliens appeared today, and angels too! That incident in Feiliu District that night was actually real!!!"
The rash Zhao Xin jogged all the way into the classroom. Before he had even entered, he was already shouting loudly from the doorway.
Aliens had appeared on Earth, and angels too. How could they not be shocked?
Now that aliens had appeared, did that mean the immortal cultivation from novels was real?
Even the angels worshipped in the West existed. Then Huaxia's immortals must exist too, right?
"We were gathered together for that Xiong Bing Lian thing, those super soldiers... are we supposed to do this? Fight aliens? Was that crocodile monster an alien too?"
Ge Xiaolun was so shocked that he even got Xiong Bing Lian's name wrong. Fight aliens? Could they even win?
Look at their aircraft and laser cannons. That alone put them hundreds of years ahead of Earth, didn't it?
Were they supposed to fight aliens like that?
They were just flesh and blood! The aliens wore high-tech armor all over their bodies. Fighting them would be nothing but throwing their lives away!!!
Thinking of how the recruiter had said people would die that day, Ge Xiaolun could not help shuddering. People really would die. It was not a joke.
"Damn, are you kidding me? We're really supposed to fight aliens? With us like this, aren't we just feeding them kills? I heard one shot from their laser cannons could wipe out planes and tanks. Can we take that kind of damage???"
Hearing Ge Xiaolun say that, Zhao Xin remembered as well. It was true that he liked punishing evil and upholding justice, but he needed to stay alive first. Fighting aliens was on a completely different level.
"Damn it, we came here to fight aliens!!!"
Meanwhile, Long Qian and Qing Qing had their mood ruined by the sudden appearance of the Taotie. They wandered around a mall, bought Qing Qing several outfits, and then returned home.
They had only sat down for a while when someone knocked on the door outside.
Long Qian did not think much of it and opened the door directly.
But when he saw an old man standing outside with several people dressed in military uniforms, he paused before saying, "Hello, I'm Qi Lin's friend. I'm staying here temporarily. She went to the Super Seminary."
He thought they were relatives of Qi Lin's family, so he did not give it much thought.
Although Qi Lin had said her parents rarely came by and her relatives did not visit often either, they might come someday, right?
Therefore, he was not surprised by the visitors.
Qing Qing, meanwhile, was fully on guard as she stared at the people before her.
This was her Male God, her future husband. She would not allow Long Qian to suffer the slightest harm.
"Angel warrior, we mean no harm. Thank you very much for helping Huaxia just now.
"I came here only to speak with this young friend. We mean no harm."
Huang Ze, the white-haired leader, wore a kindly expression as he bowed to Qing Qing.
The several military-looking men also bowed to Qing Qing.
This angel had saved those children. They bowed to show their respect.
Before coming here, he had asked Dukao and the others how the angels of Angel Civilization should be addressed.
Therefore, he addressed Angel Qing Qing as an angel warrior.
"Qing Qing, it's okay."
Long Qian held Qing Qing's soft hand beside him, signaling for her to relax.
At Long Qian's signal, Qing Qing returned to her usual casual clothes.
Only when Long Qian said it was okay could she truly relax.
"May I ask what business you have with me, sir???"
Long Qian was naturally playing dumb. Calling him sir could not go wrong, anyway.
Were the people behind this old man not all soldiers?
"Would you be willing to come to our base and have a talk? We have something of yours there that needs to be returned to you."
Huang Ze smiled, his words revealing that they already knew Long Qian's origins.
Naturally, this was also meant to express their goodwill toward Long Qian.
"Hehe, it seems you already know. I thought you would find me much sooner."
Long Qian could no longer pretend to be ignorant, so he could only smile and say so.
He had not expected them to move so slowly and only come looking for him now.
According to his expectations, they should have come looking for him on the day he appeared in Juxia City.
After all, Deno Three of Deno Civilization had been monitoring several Super Genes all along.
He had interacted with Ge Xiaolun. There was no reason they should not have been able to find him.
"Hahaha, if not for what happened today, we truly would not have had any information about you. Actually, we invited you to the base because there is something we need to give you."
There was something meaningful in Huang Ze's tone.
After pausing for a moment, he seemed to suddenly relax before continuing, "Palace Jade Liquor..."
"Hm??? One hundred eighty a cup!!!"
Then it was Long Qian's turn. He immediately asked in return, "Haha~~ Oh my, what was the previous line..."
Since the old man before him had said that phrase, Long Qian needed to confirm his information.
Palace Jade Liquor, one hundred eighty a cup.
Anyone who could say that code phrase was undoubtedly a fellow countryman. After all, the Super Seminary Universe did not have that famous Spring Festival Gala skit.
There were some classic lines you might not know completely, but you could not possibly know none of them.
As one of the code phrases every transmigrator had to know, other things might help determine whether someone was from Earth, but these lines could determine whether they were your fellow countryman, one of your own people.
But he still needed to determine the other man's era. Someone of the same generation would certainly be easier to talk to. Talking across a generation gap was truly no fun.
"Ahem, what are you doing~~ Haha~~ Oh my!!!"
Huang Ze finally understood what Su Keke had said back then. He remembered every word Su Keke had ever told him.
When he heard that phrase, he became even more excited and even more certain of Long Qian's origins.
For all these years, he had devoted himself to handling special incidents for the sake of fulfilling Su Keke's wish: to return home.
To let Su Keke's soul return to her homeland, to let her fallen leaves return to their roots.
She had been deeply nostalgic for that era. Even after living through several years of the Republic of China period, she had never forgotten it.
Moreover, during the War of Resistance, some of Su Keke's coded phrases had been of great help to the organization.
That was why, when he heard the familiar place name "Shanghai" during that night's meeting, tears had welled up in his eyes. It was also then that he confirmed Long Qian's origins.
"So you're a little blackie too!!!"
"No, I'm a Kun fan!!!"
