It was a month later when Lan Yao returned to China. After leaving Japan, she went to Hong Kong to shop and search for Lan Jiaojiao.

However, after searching around, she couldn't find Lan Jiaojiao and had to leave with regret.

Then she went to Taiwan to shop, and even robbed several underworld families that offered themselves to her.

After that, Lan Yao returned to Shenzhen. The first thing she did upon arriving in Shenzhen was to deal with Xiao Yingzi's spies who were hiding there, empty their strongholds, and take away all their assets.

Lan Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued shopping until she had bought almost everything.

Lan Yao planned to buy a hard sleeper ticket to Beijing, but unfortunately there were no tickets available.

Lan Yao: ...

Okay!

Let's take a hard seat first, and then buy a hard sleeper ticket when the time is right.

Jade Pixiu: "Master, the treasure chest we snatched from the old Taoist priest can finally be used."

Lan Yao hummed in agreement and shook the backpack in her hand: "We won't use that treasure chest for now. Let's use the treasure bag I made myself first."

For the past two months, whenever Lan Yao had time, besides organizing the items in the space and categorizing them properly, she also...

Lan Yao then studied the items she had stolen from the old Taoist priest and the Yin-Yang Master.

Perhaps she has only so-so talent in this field. So far, despite putting in a lot of effort, she has only managed to produce a rather unattractive bag.

Jade Abacus: "Master is awesome. I've never seen anyone as amazing as you."

The jade Pixiu nodded in agreement: "Master is indeed very powerful."

Jade Abacus: "Pipi, what's wrong with you lately? Why are you being so obsequious? Didn't you used to be sarcastic and sarcastic when things like this happened before?"

Jade Pixiu: ...

That's really bringing up the very thing you shouldn't be talking about.

As a sentient ornament, it can grow, okay?

The jade Pixiu snorted, quite dissatisfied: "Did I say something wrong? Master is already very capable. She had never been exposed to these things before. She's all alone, and she's so old. It's amazing that she can make something like this now."

Lan Yao: ...

Thank you, but please don't praise me if you don't need to.

What does it mean to be all alone? What does it mean to be very old?

She's only sixteen!

Where is the age?

Too lazy to deal with the two little ones, she packed some clothes and food to disguise herself in her backpack. She also went to a state-run restaurant to pack a lot of meat and vegetables, and to a dumpling restaurant to pack a lot of seafood dumplings. Only then did Lan Yao reluctantly leave Shenzhen.

Jade Abacus: "If Master likes it here, we can come back after we finish our business."

Lan Yao nodded: "We'll talk about it later."

It's a pity we didn't catch Lan Jiaojiao.

As if sensing her thoughts, the jade Pixiu comforted her, "Master, don't just think about her. As the saying goes, what's meant to come will come. Perhaps you will receive even greater blessings in the future."

Upon hearing Yu Pixiu's words, Lan Yao suddenly felt enlightened, and a heavy weight was lifted from her heart.

She said to the jade Pixiu, "Pipi, I didn't expect you to have such an understanding side. Thank you so much."

Jade Pixiu: ...

Okay!

This is its inherent impression, and it cannot refute it at all.

Lan Yao boarded the train carrying her handmade treasure bag, while Gu Zixiao and his group, who had been following her all the way back to Shenzhen Port, finally returned.

As soon as his feet touched the familiar soil, Wang Zhenfeng couldn't help but exclaim, "I'm finally back!"

Oh my god!

That man was like a mouse, wandering around aimlessly, but we couldn't catch a trace of him at all.

What's even more outrageous is that they always lag behind that man by a few days.

It could be said that the moment the man left, they caught up with him, but he had already vanished.

At this point every time, Wang Zhenfeng would become disheartened, but Gu Zixiao would remain enthusiastic.

At times like these, Wang Zhenfeng greatly admires Gu Zixiao's persistence and perseverance.

Anyone else, if they encountered someone as rare as that man, might have given up long ago.

Gu Zixiao, however, did not.

The two people next to Wang Zhenfeng nodded in agreement when they heard what he said.

"Absolutely. It's been so tough."

"However, this time it wasn't without its gains."

Wang Zhenfeng chuckled, a hint of schadenfreude in his voice: "That's right. Even Japan is in chaos."

"It's all in chaos. In their country, every family that's been around for over a hundred years has been wiped out. I heard that even the most powerful Onmyoji families in Japan have been slaughtered."

"Serves them right! Let them be so cocky."

"Exactly, they deserve it. Why didn't we just wipe out their whole country?"

"Hmm, this might be a bit difficult. After all, it's tiring to be alone," Wang Zhenfeng explained, scratching his head with some uncertainty.

Upon hearing this, Gu Zixiao subconsciously nodded in agreement.

That man was able to slaughter so many prestigious families in Japan within a month, which shows he was a very capable person.

However, no matter how powerful he is, he is still just one person.

Everyone gets tired eventually.

To be honest, if it were him who had to do this, Gu Zixiao said he really couldn't do it.

Gu Zixiao lowered her eyes and looked at the ground, her desire for that man growing stronger.

I desperately want it.

"Should we still chase after them?" someone asked, glancing instinctively at Gu Zixiao.

Based on his month-long interaction with Gu Zixiao, he felt that Gu Zixiao was very persistent in her feelings for that person and would not give up under normal circumstances.

Just as Gu Zixiao was about to speak, Qi Nan came over: "We've finally waited for you."

Gu Zixiao frowned and asked, somewhat displeased, "What's wrong?"

Qi Nan replied irritably, "Of course. Otherwise, why would I be waiting for you guys at the port every day?"

Ever since Gu Zixiao and the others left, Qi Nan would come to the port to check on things whenever he had the chance, and he never expected that he would actually see them today.

"What's up?"

Qi Nan coughed lightly, signaling them to follow.

When they arrived at their destination, Qi Nan cut to the chase and asked, "Do you know what happened in Japan?"

"Yes, we know. We witnessed the whole thing."

Qi Nan: ...

Wow, you guys are pretty good.

You guys have all encountered such a wonderful event?

That's really enviable.

Qi Nan coughed lightly: "You guys should report what happened first..."

Gu Zixiao interrupted Qi Nan, stating bluntly: "We must hold onto talents like this. Otherwise..."

He made a kill gesture.

Gu Zixiao felt that holding it in his hands was the wisest choice.

Otherwise, the only option is to deal with people who can endanger the country in advance.

Qi Nan: "...I'll ask my superiors first, and then make a decision."

Gu Zixiao said impatiently, "Hurry up. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to find the other person."
