“Alright! I’ll go back and handle things for you. When there’s news, I’ll notify you on your phone and tongshen jade talisman! After you Transmigrate, just bring your subordinates and find us!”
After remembering An Chen’s tongshen jade talisman number, Zhang Wei seemed to have completed his main task and left happily.
An Chen stared at his retreating figure until Su Xiaojiu closed the door.
From beginning to end, Su Xiaojiu didn't say a single word, and Zhang Wei seemed to treat her as air, not putting this Fire Phoenix Sect “little princess” in his eyes at all, not even glancing at her.
“An Chen, why are you like a statue?”
Su Xiaojiu looked at An Chen, who hadn't moved from his spot the entire time, and scratched her head in confusion.
“I need to show a strong aura so they won’t think I’m someone easily controlled.”
An Chen finally relaxed and flopped onto the sofa.
Although Kunpeng was indeed helping the Transcendents now, An Chen still felt that their act of gathering Transcendents together was like controlling these people.
According to Zhang Wei himself, they could track all Transcendents, which made An Chen feel a wave of disgust.
He didn't want to be monitored, and even less did he want to be located and tracked by anyone at any time.
“I feel like they’re actually good people, right?”
Su Xiaojiu, however, blinked, seemingly finding Zhang Wei, who had just visited, quite easy to talk to.
“At least for now, they haven't done anything bad.”
An Chen neither fully agreed nor disagreed.
“It’s still the same old saying: hide yourself well and have less dealings with these people.”
But no matter what, this at least solved his most pressing problem right now.
An Chen began to think carefully about what to do next.
Once he Transmigrates, his tasks would be to Cultivate, wait for Zhang Wei to send him information, then descend the mountain to “find relatives” and patch up his identity.
And here on Earth…
The first thing was to convert the Qingxin Grass Leaf and Rejuvenation Pill into cash, then restock on cosmetics, and finally, make good use of the time, perhaps even Cultivate a bit.
An Chen suddenly felt like taking out his Spirit Gathering Array to start Cultivating.
He suddenly froze.
“Su Xiaojiu?”
“Hmm?”
Su Xiaojiu heard An Chen call her, moved her gaze from her phone screen, and tilted her head.
“Do you feel that the Spiritual Qi concentration has increased a lot?”
When he first returned, An Chen felt that Earth seemed to have very thin Spiritual Qi, but this time, upon closer inspection, he suddenly noticed that the Spiritual Qi concentration had increased significantly.
“It seems so, yes. The Spiritual Qi concentration has increased quite a bit. Although it’s still very low, I feel like its carrying capacity is also rising.”
Previously, Earth might have only been able to support Cultivator at the Qi Refining Peak, but in a while, it might be able to support Cultivator at the Spirit Nurturing Stage.
“This Spiritual Qi concentration…”
An Chen muttered to himself, then silently took out his Spirit Gathering Array.
“Holy cow!”
Su Xiaojiu was startled.
“Are you going to Cultivate now?”
“Fake.”
An Chen silently put the Formation Plate away again.
Although the Spiritual Qi concentration had improved, it wasn't very high, and Cultivating, especially with a Gathering Spirit Array, would definitely attract the attention of other Cultivator.
If the Kunpeng people found out, so be it, but An Chen was afraid that besides the Kunpeng people, there might be others among the first batch of Cultivator.
It was better to be cautious.
“You scared me to death. Your talent is already so good. If you work this hard, I’ll have no face to see anyone!”
Su Xiaojiu patted her chest, then continued looking at her phone.
An Chen felt that Su Xiaojiu had already integrated into Earth, her state similar to a university student.
It didn't matter if she didn't study, but she was afraid of classmates being more diligent than her.
...
“I was wrong, I was wrong! I really won’t run anymore! I really won’t run anymore!”
Zhang Youcai screamed frantically.
At this moment, he was held by his head and pressed to the ground, his left cheek in intimate contact with the cold floor, and a person was pressing his lower back with a knee.
“I told you running is useless, but you just had to do something pointless?”
The Kunpeng member behind him snorted, released his head, and slowly stood up.
“We don’t necessarily want to imprison you. Wouldn’t it be better if you just cooperated with us?”
They, Kunpeng, were actually very happy about capturing Zhang Youcai.
This was Jubao Daoren’s disciple.
If they could establish stable contact with Jubao Daoren, it would be a rare good thing.
But this Zhang Youcai, he stubbornly refused to cooperate.
“If you’re not imprisoning me, then what are you doing? This room has its space confined by your Formation, and you still want to Seal my Spiritual Power. If this isn’t imprisoning me, then what is it?!”
Every time he Transmigrated, this guy would appear in front of him, and even though his Spiritual Power had been unsealed by his master, this guy could still press him to the ground and Seal his Spiritual Power again.
“If you don’t run, we won’t imprison you, right? If we don’t do this, wouldn’t you run?”
“Then you still want to imprison me?!”
“We just want to ask you a few things. If you tell us, we can sit down and chat nicely, maybe even talk business. But you haven’t even admitted that you are Zhang Youcai, so what can we do?”
Zhang Youcai immediately became anxious.
“Did you even ask?! You didn’t ask! You just pressed me to the ground and Sealed my Spiritual Power as soon as you saw me, then dragged me here. A few hours later, you came over and asked if I had thought it over. What the hell am I supposed to think over? What exactly do I need to think about?!”
Zhang Youcai was going crazy.
If they wanted to ask questions, then ask them! What was the point of all this?!
From beginning to end, these people just kept him confined, without torture or questions, just confinement. They provided food, and the living quarters were quite comfortable, but what kind of situation was it to be constantly confined here!
“Ah? Hahaha! Did we? Did we not ask?”
“I #*￥%·”
Zhang Youcai spewed a string of expletives.
So, he had been imprisoned for so many days for nothing?
“Ahem, however, you stole dozens of pieces of engineering machinery, and the amount involved is extremely large. Actually, according to the laws of our world, a few years in prison is what you deserve…”
“Then you still want to imprison me!”
“That’s what I was going to say… we can talk!”
In the observation room outside the one-way glass of this special interrogation room, Zhang Wei, who had just returned from outside, looked at the clerk beside him.
“He finally relented?”
The clerk nodded, then shook his head, his face turning liver-colored.
“Brother Zhang, actually, to be precise, it’s us who relented.”
“Hmm?”
“We didn’t ask anything before…”
“??!” Zhang Wei looked bewildered: “Is that how I trained you guys?!”
