Yan Pingsha and Lu Chenxing are coming this way with a child; it seems they mean trouble.”
Inside the Nufeng Guild’s president’s office, a woman dressed as a cleaning lady sat gracefully holding a cup of coffee, her gaze flippantly fixed on the refined man with glasses sitting opposite her.
That she could act so out of character for her appearance showed that this woman was in disguise.
“Let them come. What can they do? What can a Tier 3 and a newly Tier 4 little thing do to me?” The refined man sneered, “No matter what, I, Liao Chen, am the president of the Nufeng Guild, a mid-Tier 5 professional. What can they do?”
“Oh? You’re not afraid of the truth coming out?” The woman’s tone held a hint of surprise.
“Heh heh, if the truth were to come out, it wouldn’t be Yan Pingsha and Lu Chenxing showing up at my door right now, nor would they bring a child.” Liao Chen stated confidently, “It’s nothing more than Lu Chenxing’s second disciple discovering that the two useless individuals who came a few days ago are unreachable, and they’ve just come to ask about it.”
“Just brush it off. People die in the secret realm every day. If they’re missing, they can go look for them themselves. What good would it do to ask me?”
“Besides, even if the truth comes out, I have a backup plan. You didn’t think I’d be unprepared for something like this, did you?”
Liao Chen’s expression was incredibly confident, as if he had everything under control and was completely assured.
Seeing his expression, the woman put down her coffee and reminded him, “Your current mindset seems a bit arrogant. I need to remind you that the most important reason our Church of the Myriad Gods chose to cooperate with you is that we don’t want to attract the military’s attention or unnecessary trouble, do you understand?”
“I know, I know. You say it every time we meet. Aren’t you tired of it?” Liao Chen’s tone was nonchalant, clearly not taking her words to heart.
Seeing this, the woman’s expression cooled slightly. “Liao Chen, I Hope you don’t take my words lightly. Just do things honestly and step by step…”
“What authority do you have to speak to me like that?” Liao Chen suddenly interrupted her. “A Huan Yao Divine Envoy who hides her head and shows her tail, is chased by the military everywhere, and needs my help just to survive here. Do I need you to tell me what to do?”
“You!” The woman was momentarily exasperated.
“I’ve said it before, if you want me to listen to you, it’s very simple…” Liao Chen’s finger lifted the woman’s chin, and he grinned wickedly, “As long as you’re willing to drop this disgusting disguise and honestly sleep with me, fulfilling my desires in bed, then I’ll listen to everything you say.”
Upon hearing this, the woman slapped Liao Chen’s hand away, a flash of killing intent in her eyes, and sneered, “Dream on! You say I look disgusting, but you’re the one who truly disgusts me.”
She had known before that Liao Chen was a pervert, which was why she came in this disguise, but she never expected that even in this state, Liao Chen, that idiot, would still make advances! If it weren’t for needing him to cover the Church of the Myriad Gods’ actions, she would truly want to kill him right now!
His hand slapped away, Liao Chen didn’t get angry. He simply reverted to his refined demeanor, a smile playing on his lips as he said, “That’s truly a pity.”
At this moment, a strange glint flashed in the woman’s eyes, her expression froze slightly, and then a cold smile appeared at the corner of her lips, “Obstinate and refusing to listen to good advice, you’re a dead man walking.”
With that, she directly took her cleaning tools and left the office, not even sparing Liao Chen a glance.
Liao Chen, meanwhile, watched her back with interest, seemingly enjoying her exasperated expression.
Just then, Lu Chenxing and Yan Pingsha had arrived at the entrance of the Nufeng Guild, coincidentally bumping directly into the Huan Yao Divine Envoy who was about to leave.
“Oh, excuse me, excuse me.” The woman apologized repeatedly, acting exactly like an ordinary person from the lower class, completely disguising the fact that she was a Divine Envoy of the Church of the Myriad Gods.
Lu Chenxing, however, paused slightly. Without changing his expression, the rings in his eyes flickered. He hadn’t turned off his All-Knowing Eye on the way here so he could clearly see the surveillance points, and now looking at this “woman” in front of him, he immediately noticed something was off about her!
Although she appeared completely normal on the surface and had no energy fluctuations around her, the energy passing by her was clearly obscured, indicating that she was indeed problematic!
Her current situation, in Lu Chenxing’s eyes, was like someone who was already invisible but standing in the rain, very conspicuous.
“It’s alright, Auntie, please go ahead.” Yan Pingsha politely made way for her.
The woman repeatedly thanked them, “Oh, yes, thank you, thank you both, you’re such good children.”
Watching the woman walk out, Lu Chenxing didn’t stop her. Instead, he smiled and moved aside, watching her leave. At the same time, he handed Xiao Zhi, whom he was holding, to Yan Pingsha, “Xiao Zhi, you stay here obediently with your Sister Yan for a while. Daddy has something to do.”
“Okay, Daddy, go ahead! I’ll be good with Sister Yan.” Xiao Zhi said obediently.
Lu Chenxing smiled, took off the sword-shaped pendant from his neck, and put it on Xiao Zhi’s neck, ensuring that no matter what happened later, Xiao Zhi’s safety would be fully guaranteed.
“Little Lu, what’s wrong?” Seeing him take off his pendant, Yan Pingsha immediately sensed something was amiss, so she grabbed his arm and asked.
“It’s nothing, a small issue. Don’t worry, just wait here for a bit. I’ll be back soon.” Lu Chenxing patted her hand, then stroked Xiao Zhi’s head, and turned to follow the woman.
For a moment, Yan Pingsha held Xiao Zhi in her arms. Though anxious, she could only sit in the Nufeng Guild’s lobby and wait for Lu Chenxing to return.
And Liao Chen, having seen this scene from afar, became even more convinced of his earlier thought. These two had indeed come to inquire about the whereabouts of those two useless individuals who had joined the guild earlier. Otherwise, why would Yan Pingsha stay here with the child, looking worried, as soon as Lu Chenxing left?
Clearly, as the one who introduced the two to the guild, Yan Pingsha had been reprimanded by Lu Chenxing, which was why she accompanied him. Now that the main person had temporarily left, the one who accompanied him must be at a loss.
Thinking this, Liao Chen walked out with a false smile, “Oh, isn’t this Pingsha? What brings you to the guild?”
······
On the other side, Lu Chenxing followed the woman, not bothering to conceal his presence, just brazenly trailing her.
For a moment, the Huan Yao Divine Envoy was unsure what Lu Chenxing intended, but she had walked nearly two hundred meters, and this kid was still following her. What was going on?
Had he discovered her identity?
But the next moment she dismissed the thought. If even a Tier 3 kid like Lu Chenxing could see through her disguise, she wouldn’t have lived until now.
Thinking this, she voluntarily turned her head and asked, seemingly surprised, “Young man, are you going my way?”
Lu Chenxing smiled and nodded, “Yes, I am. Auntie, are you also taking this path?”
“Yes, yes…” The woman’s face showed a simple smile, but inwardly she was anxious. “You know where I’m going and you say you’re going my way! It seems this kid has discovered something!”
The military will be here soon, and she couldn’t stay here long. She had to find a way to shake off this kid and change her identity!
Otherwise, if Liao Chen, that idiot, got caught, he would most likely expose her, and by then it would be too late to run!
Although Phantom Demon had warned her before not to easily make a move on Lu Chenxing, as he was a bit strange, there was no choice now. She had to get rid of him as quickly as possible!
Thinking this, the woman looked into Lu Chenxing’s eyes, “Young man, have we met somewhere before?”
The moment Lu Chenxing’s gaze met hers, a mesmerizing light flashed in the woman’s eyes!
