Compared to intuition, most people trust facts and reasoning more, but for An Chen, in many cases, intuition is just a quick deduction based on facts.
Before his brain could tell him the answer, his subconscious had already analyzed the situation; this was the origin of his “intuition.”
Therefore, this so-called “intuition” was in fact his rapid deduction, and its accuracy was unbelievably high.
Of course, An Chen would generally analyze it again.
“Then what do we do? Do we just let him monitor us without retaliation? We should at least destroy this thing, right?”
“If he really means us harm, we will certainly retaliate, but I don’t think he will do that.”
If a police officer forcibly commandeers a car while pursuing a fugitive, it might look like “robbery,” but the intention is good.
This is also a kind of privilege, but it is beyond reproach.
In An Chen’s view, Yuan Lihuan’s actions were probably also of this nature.
After all, Yuan Lihuan’s current attitude is friendly, and as an official, he probably wouldn’t do anything excessive.
Anyway, with Su Xiaojiu around, possessing the capital and confidence for self-preservation, An Chen wasn’t worried.
“This chip doesn’t necessarily have to be destroyed…”
An Chen tucked the tracking chip inside his phone case and carefully put it away.
“If I destroy it now, Yuan Lihuan will definitely find out, and letting him know my anti-reconnaissance awareness is too strong isn’t a good thing. Besides, having such a tracking chip isn’t necessarily a bad thing…”
If he really encountered danger, he wouldn’t even need to report his location when making a call.
“Alright, you call the shots.”
Su Xiaojiu pulled up a chair and sat next to An Chen, staring at his computer screen.
“Don’t you have a phone? I also taught you how to search and use handwriting input. Why are you staring at my screen?”
An Chen felt a strange sense of unease when he noticed Su Xiaojiu’s head peeking out and staring at his screen.
Mainly, that floating head was a bit scary.
“There’s nothing I want to search for. It’s interesting to chat with a smart person from another world like you.”
“Alright.”
An Chen accepted this explanation and continued to help people edit photos on his computer. After a while, he suddenly spoke.
“What’s the background of that Zhang Youcai?”
So Su Xiaojiu meticulously described to An Chen the status and characteristics of Jubao Daoren and Selling Goods Immortal in the Cultivation World, thereby introducing Zhang Youcai, Jubao Daoren’s Disciple.
These two constantly appeared and disappeared mysteriously in the Cultivation World. Although the process of “gathering treasures” was sometimes unpopular, and they often engaged in activities like stealing and robbing, their popularity remained high when “selling goods.”
All the treasures and strange items in the entire Cultivation World could be found with them.
The strength of these two was unknown, but it was highly likely they were only between Soul Transformation and early Void Refinement, and could not be Dao Integration grand powerful Cultivator.
However, their strength did not lie in their own power, but in their connections.
The Sect Masters and Elders of various major forces in Kyushu all had some acquaintance with him, and although not many, it was enough to ask them to help beat someone up.
These grand powerful Cultivator were also happy to help him because the rewards would certainly be substantial, and at worst, they could obtain some strange and rare items.
Therefore, few people dared to provoke them, and even their Disciples were hesitant to provoke them.
“So, did we make an enemy tonight?”
“No!”
Su Xiaojiu said confidently:
“I was using my father’s influence. Zhang Youcai isn’t dead. At most, I just slightly tricked him. The worst he can do is report me to my dad!”
Her identity was still somewhat useful at this time.
“That’s good.”
An Chen was very worried about inadvertently making enemies with Cultivator from the Kyushu Continent, especially those with some background.
But then again, Su Xiaojiu’s background seemed even greater…
A Sect Master of a first-rate Sect as a father, his strength must not be weak, right?
“What are we doing tomorrow?”
Su Xiaojiu looked longingly at the half-eaten bucket of instant noodles An Chen had left, licked her lips, and asked.
“Tomorrow, we’ll go out and buy you two sets of clothes and some daily necessities. I’ll also take you to get acquainted with this world.”
“Yay!”
Su Xiaojiu’s eyes squinted with a smile.
As long as she wasn’t cooped up at home, it was fine.
An Chen looked at her happy expression and sighed instead.
Su Xiaojiu’s personality was too lively, which was not a good thing. Running around everywhere was dangerous for her and would also bring trouble to himself.
Should he try teaching her to play games?
Maybe he could turn her into a homebody.
An Chen suddenly noticed Su Xiaojiu staring intently at the half-eaten bucket of instant noodles beside him. He had been eating it intermittently while working, and there was still some left, with the aroma of braised beef wafting from the instant noodle bucket.
“Want to eat?”
An Chen raised an eyebrow.
“Yes!”
Su Xiaojiu nodded vigorously.
“Didn’t you take a whole shelf yesterday?”
Yesterday’s shelf of snacks had all gone into Su Xiaojiu’s qiankun bag, and at the time, that bill was charged to the Hanzi (Man).
“Oh, right!”
Su Xiaojiu then remembered and pulled out a bucket of instant noodles identical to the one An Chen had from her qiankun bag.
“I’ll do it.”
Worried that Su Xiaojiu might mess things up, An Chen helped her tear open the instant noodle packaging, poured in the seasoning packets, then walked to the water dispenser to add hot water, and brought the bucket back.
“Stir it after three minutes, and it’ll be ready to eat. Just use this small fork.”
An Chen placed the instant noodles on the table and instructed.
“Mm-hmm!”
Su Xiaojiu nodded vigorously.
“There’s no one here now, and I don’t think any customers will come in the latter half of the night, so why don’t you exit stealth mode? Just having your head floating is a bit scary.”
Su Xiaojiu was very obedient and immediately exited stealth mode, rubbing her hands as she waited for the instant noodles to be ready.
Three minutes later, Su Xiaojiu opened the lid, stirred the noodles like An Chen, then forked up some noodles, blew on them vigorously, and put them into her mouth.
“How is it?”
“Delicious.”
Su Xiaojiu then picked up the instant noodle bucket to drink the soup but burned her tongue.
“Hot!”
“It’s not too late to eat it after it cools down.”
An Chen was speechless, somewhere between tears and laughter.
“But it tastes better hot.”
Su Xiaojiu began to devour it.
It must be said that Cultivator indeed have a larger appetite than ordinary people. An Chen could be completely full from that bowl of noodles in the evening, but Su Xiaojiu was only not hungry to a certain extent, and by midnight, Su Xiaojiu was hungry again.
It seems I’ll have to cook more for her in the future.
An Chen thought for a moment, then suddenly asked:
“Is this instant noodle delicious, or is the noodle I cooked delicious?”
Su Xiaojiu looked up, a strange expression on her face.
“Are you trying to make me praise your cooking?”
An Chen was surprised.
When did this guy become so smart and have such high emotional intelligence?
“You’re being a bit overconfident. How can that bowl of noodles compare to this one!”
Alright, her emotional intelligence still needs some work.
