"Brother Zhang, so should we spend more effort searching for this organization in the South City?"
"No need. They're not just active in the South City; their traces can be found in nearby Guangcheng and Zhucheng. It's not that simple for us to catch them. For now, let's focus on our main job: quickly completing the registration and marking of Transcendents, and conducting Transmigration popularization and Nine Provinces survival popularization work. As for searching for this organization... wait for Elder Yuan's notification!"
After a pause, Zhang Wei added:
"The ones who killed these two were experts. The battle was completed in an instant, and no Spiritual Power was used, so it's impossible to determine and track them. Take these two bodies back first, raise the alert Rank in this area, and if any unfamiliar Cultivator appear, contact me immediately."
"Yes."
Zhang Wei stretched.
Based solely on the information at the scene, it was impossible to find the mysterious expert who made the move. If An Chen and Su Xiaojiu hadn't been involved, he wouldn't have anyone to suspect.
"Is it really not these two guys?"
Zhang Wei thought about An Chen's reaction just now; he couldn't find a single flaw, and the people he sent to stake out saw nothing.
Of course, Zhang Wei also understood that there were many ways to avoid his subordinates, and An Chen might even have the strength to do so.
But this time, Zhang Wei didn't think An Chen did it.
Because the other party killed someone.
Zhang Wei recalled the first time he killed someone... Tsk tsk!
This young man named An Chen had only Transmigrated for such a short time; he couldn't have already learned to kill, could he?
Last time, when An Chen intervened to save Wang Zhaoyang, he merely knocked out the bandits, so this didn't fit An Chen's behavioral logic.
Moreover, Zhang Wei judged that An Chen was actually someone who "didn't like to meddle in others' business," and was a mild egoist. His first thought would always be whether this matter benefited him.
However, that family was very close to him...
Zhang Wei thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Finally, he scratched his head.
"It would be good if Elder Yuan were here."
...
An Chen's phone rang.
He picked it up and saw it was Ye Xinning.
"Hello? Didn't I just come back from your place? Why are you calling again?"
Ye Xinning's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I heard something happened in your neighborhood. I originally wanted to go and see, but Hong Shan wouldn't let me, saying you should be fine. I wasn't at ease, so I called to ask."
"I'm fine."
An Chen chuckled softly. Su Xiaojiu, who was lie on his back, added:
"It was those who came looking for trouble who had something happen to them!"
"So, what happened?"
An Chen truthfully recounted what had just happened.
"It's good that you're fine."
Only then did Ye Xinning relax.
"What could happen to us?"
Su Xiaojiu was at Qi Refining Twelfth Level, and he himself was at Cultivation level four, about to Breakthrough to Qi Refining Fifth Level. Little nobodies who had just stepped into Cultivation like the ones just now couldn't harm them at all.
An Chen originally wanted to say, "You should also be careful on your side."
But An Chen suddenly remembered that Ye Xinning had a Soul Transformation Stage Peak powerhouse by her side. He would die eight hundred times before it was Ye Xinning's turn to be in trouble, so he closed his mouth.
"Disciple, I told you he would definitely be fine, why didn't you believe me?"
An Chen also heard Hong Shan's helpless voice from the phone.
"You say it's fine and it's fine? I always have to confirm it..."
An Chen smiled again upon hearing that.
"Hongshan Senior, you must have been observing us with your Divine Sense all along, right?"
Hong Shan snorted from the other end of the phone.
"Not entirely stupid."
Ye Xinning was stunned. How could she have forgotten about this!
Hong Shan was already a Cultivator at the Soul Transformation Peak. His Primordial Spirit was powerful, and his Divine Sense, when released, could probe an area within several dozen li. It was not difficult to leave a wisp of Divine Sense to constantly observe An Chen's side.
Whatever happened on their side, Hong Shan had probably already known about it for a long time.
"Wait." Ye Xinning seemed to realize something: "You said he's not stupid, does that mean I'm stupid?"
Hong Shan immediately became anxious.
"No, no, absolutely not!"
He just said it casually, who would have thought he'd scold his own disciple!
Then, the call ended.
"..."
An Chen shook his head with a smile.
"An Chen, are we doing anything else today?"
Su Xiaojiu asked from the side.
Actually, they hadn't done much these past two days. The most fun part was the chase just now.
Adhering to the principle that Transmigration shouldn't be in vain, Su Xiaojiu had to do something after her Transmigration.
"Will you die if you can't sit still?"
An Chen complained, but with a thought, he remembered something.
"Actually, it's not like there's nothing to do..."
An Chen leaned close to Su Xiaojiu's ear and whispered a few words. Su Xiaojiu's eyes widened more and more as she listened, finally opening her mouth in surprise.
"This... can I do it?"
"You can!"
An Chen patted her shoulder and nodded.
"Believe in yourself!"
When the two left again, An Chen had changed into a black outfit, and Su Xiaojiu had also changed her attire.
Since she didn't have many clothes, she had to wear An Chen's.
An Chen had grown quickly in recent years, and there were a few old clothes in his room that he had worn before, which happened to fit Su Xiaojiu.
The men's clothing on Su Xiaojiu looked strange no matter how you viewed it. It lacked the previous cute and lively aura, and also didn't have that cool feeling. It looked like a child secretly wearing adult clothes; although it fit, the temperament didn't match.
However, Su Xiaojiu also wore a mask and a baseball cap this time, making her look a little more mysterious.
"Will this work?"
"Don't worry, he hasn't seen you. You're just going to ask, not actually buy. Just treat yourself as a customer. The customer is God, he won't do anything to you."
An Chen helped Su Xiaojiu adjust her collar, then took her out.
This time, neither of them used a Stealth Talisman.
An Chen actually knew that Kunpeng had people watching them, although he didn't know how—whether through surveillance or tailing—but that didn't matter.
Ever since he first sold goods to Sun Zhijun, Kunpeng had not interfered with his transactions nor obstructed them in any way, which confirmed Kunpeng's attitude to An Chen.
They did not prevent such trading behavior; they might even tacitly approve of it.
After all, the article they published revealed the therapeutic effects of various Spirit Pills on modern diseases.
If they didn't want such trading activities to occur among the populace, they absolutely should not have pointed these things out.
Because that would make Transcendents scramble for profit to search for Medicinal Pills in the Nine Provinces and then bring them back to Earth.
But they did it, which could only mean they didn't oppose people doing this among the populace, at least for now.
