Blue Star East City, Siheyuan, Li Family.

"Have you got any news from the people we sent to various parts of the country to inquire about people with special abilities?" In the study, a middle-aged man in a green robe, with a long beard and a Taoist hairstyle, sat behind the desk. He had an air of an immortal and asked the young woman who had just entered to report on the progress.

The young woman had a pair of almond-shaped eyes, slender willow-shaped eyebrows, and big wavy curly hair. She was wearing a moon-white silk cheongsam. She had a graceful figure and outstanding temperament.

The woman said, "We have searched everywhere, but someone got there first. We are still too few in number. They made the first move and robbed many people. We couldn't win against them." The woman spoke calmly while fanning herself with the silk round fan in her hand. Her tone was as soft and light as possible, but her words were full of banditry.

"Xiaoya, how can a girl talk like that? Besides, we are a formal organization, not a bunch of bandits who do whatever they want. How can we say we are robbing? We sincerely invite people with special abilities to cooperate with us. Let's defend Blue Star together!"

The middle-aged man seemed to be choked by the woman's way of speaking. He no longer had the same air of a celestial being as before. He slapped his hands on the table, then took a deep breath, patted his chest, and muttered to himself:

"I'm not angry, not angry..."

"Uncle Li, you have such a bad temper. Even becoming a Taoist priest hasn't helped you get rid of it. You'd better accept your fate." The woman, Li Ya, covered her red lips with a round fan and sneered.

"I'm so angry about you! You careless bastards, when will you be able to take on the responsibility of our Li family? After all, our Li family is a big family that has been passed down for thousands of years. We can't let it be destroyed in my hands. Seeing you guys are so disappointing, I'm so anxious that I'm about to have a heart attack. If I die, how can I face my ancestors? Who am I doing this for? It's all because of you careless bastards."

"Uncle Li, don't be so angry. Officials have asked for information several times, and we've been giving them the cold shoulder. Now it's becoming increasingly difficult to conceal. Do you think we should come clean? At least we can get away with it now. If they get information about the spirit core from other families, and everyone knows about it, we won't gain anything, and it might even leave a bad impression on the authorities."

"Come on, tell me. Do you think you can keep it a secret right now? It's only a matter of time. Tell the authorities what we know as soon as possible so that they can mobilize their forces to collect and train some talented people. This world is really not something that our few families can defend. We still have to rely on everyone's strength. By the way, where is Li Ming? Where did this brat run off to? It's so chaotic outside. No, I can't think about it anymore. I'm not angry, not angry. I'm so angry that I get sick and no one will replace me. I'll have to clean up your mess while I'm sick! Not angry, not angry."

"Li Ming has gone out to collect spirit cores and meteorite fragments. Uncle, we have to take advantage of this time difference and quickly collect meteorite fragments and spirit cores. We also need to quickly buy up any places near East City that have been hit by meteorite fragments. Once the authorities know about this, they will definitely collect meteorite fragments and spirit cores in large quantities."

"You go and do it." Uncle Li, who is also Li Zhen, the current patriarch of the Dongcheng Li family, waved at Li Ya, signaling her to do it as soon as possible.

At the entrance to the Li family's house, a car suddenly stopped and the door opened. A man in a green military uniform stepped out. He was the adjutant of the director of the West City Research Institute in East City, Blue Star. The adjutant straightened his clothes and walked towards the Li family's gate.

At the entrance of Xiaojia Village, Yuesheng just walked to the door of his house.

From a distance, they could hear Lai Fu's barking. Yue Sheng approached and saw Xiao's mother holding a small dried fish and waving at a calico cat on the wall. Lai Fu was at Xiao's mother's feet, barking at the cat on the wall.

"Meow!" The calico cat on the wall also meowed at the calling Lai Fu, unwilling to be outdone.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

The calico cat on the wall heard the sound of Yuesheng and suddenly turned around and ran away.

"Hey, don't run! Here are some dried fish for you!" Mother Xiao shouted in frustration towards the place where the calico cat disappeared.

"You scared the cat away!" complained Xiao's mother.

"Where did this stray cat come from? I don't think I've seen it before?" Xiao Bai asked in confusion. Because her family has always had dogs, stray cats rarely have the courage to come over. This calico cat is quite brave and even dares to roar at Lai Fu.

"It's new here. It's been hanging around our house lately. I was just about to give it a little dried fish, but you scared it away."

"If he ran away, then he ran away. By the way, where's Dad?"

"Where else can we go? Fishing in our usual spot?"

Xiao Bai suddenly remembered that the place where his father often fished was in the river at the door. He could go and take a look.
