"Get to work," Nan Jue said, and drove away.

Ye Mingshi thought for a moment. Nan Jue was a photographer, so the cat must have gone to him for a photo.

Mu Jin raised an eyebrow.

...

Early in the morning, the cat got up and taught Jiu Ye Bai a little swordsmanship. When it was over, she met Bai Jiang.

He only stayed at the Jiu family's house for one day that day and then left. He's so early today, it seems he didn't sleep last night.

Jiu Yebai glanced at him and asked in surprise, "Your injuries have healed so quickly?"

Bai Jiang said, "It's alright."

Jiu Yebai remained silent, pondering the meaning of those words. Perhaps... not dying is no big deal.

The cat asked, "Is there something you need?"

Bai Jiang said, "They want to see the sect leader."

Cat looked at Bai Jiang. They... must be the core members of the sect.

It's definitely time to meet.

She said, "Tonight."

General Bai nodded. He had come specifically to inform them of this matter, and now that he had delivered the message, it was time for him to leave.

As soon as Bai left, Jiu Yebai said, "I want to go too."

The cat patted his head. "I'm the sect leader, what are you to the sect?"

Jiu Yebai thought for a moment. Today, Maomao was going to officially take up the position of sect leader. It seemed that he really had no reason to go, so he could only say, "Then next time."

...

That evening, after finishing a gig, Maomao had her bodyguard take Chen Doudou home, while she drove herself to the address Bai Jiang had given her.

It's not far from the dock, and the area is a mixed bag of people; it's quite chaotic.

Cat's car could only go as far as one side of the road; it couldn't go any further because there was no road inside.

The cat got out of the car and went inside.

The streets were narrow, the houses were crammed together, and there was a large food stall at the intersection where crowds gathered, making a lot of noise.

The cat had only walked a short distance when it encountered several fights, but the locals were used to it and continued to enjoy their food at the food stalls no matter what was happening on the street.

The cat carefully examined the numbers on the door, but they didn't seem to be in any particular order, and she got completely lost as she walked.

The cat suddenly stopped walking and frowned unhappily.

He snorted.

Sending her to a place like this, finding the door will probably be the first challenge!

If an outsider comes in here, they probably won't be able to find their way out even after a whole day!

Just then, a man walked over arrogantly with a group of his henchmen, seemingly heading to the food stall.

His eyes darted around, and suddenly he spotted the cat.

The cat saw him too.

He paused for a moment, then turned and ran!

"Stop!" the cat said. "Little tiger, come here."

That's right, this unlucky guy is Tiger!

Tiger returned with a long face, walked up to Cat, and knelt down without saying a word. "Heroine... I haven't done anything wrong today. I just came out to have a meal."

Those henchmen, not understanding what was going on, saw Tiger kneel down and they followed suit.

This scene attracted a lot of attention, and many people looked over.

Without wasting words with him, the cat tossed him a note with the house number written on it and said, "Little Tiger, take me here."

Tiger took a look at the note and confirmed it several times. Cat just wanted him to lead the way, so he jumped up and said, "Okay, okay, heroine, you've come to the right place. I know the way around here like the back of my hand."

After taking a few steps, the cat said again, "Tell your underlings to get lost."

Tiger quickly turned around and shooed away his gang of underlings like flies.

He knew very well that if the cat wanted to deal with him, even ten times more lackeys wouldn't help!

Cat was quite surprised to see the tiger cub here. It seems that keeping him alive might still be of some use.

"Little Tiger, where is Jiang Shaoze?" Cat suddenly asked.

Tiger looked at Cat in surprise and said, "I don't know... I only know that Boss Jiang took care of my former boss and eliminated several rivals. He's been busy turfing these past few days."

The cat asked him, "Why didn't you go with them?"

Tiger said, "That day, the kidnapping... uh, I messed up that day. I've kept the heroine's teachings in mind, so I've decided to retire from crime and start anew..."

The cat interrupted him, "Stop talking nonsense, little tiger. A leopard can't change its spots. Can you?"

Tiger: "..."

But he's not a dog either... However, Tiger didn't dare to refute it.

Tiger Brother had no choice but to say conservatively, "Brother Jiang has come to Beijing, and things have been quite turbulent lately... It's a fierce battleground, so I have to hide. Once I've established my own power base, I'll go out and seek refuge with a wise ruler."

The cat remained silent. So it seemed that Jiang Shaoze really was going to develop his career in Beijing, and in the field he was best at—which was also the fastest way.

"Heroine, just around the corner, you'll arrive," Tiger suddenly said.

Sure enough, after turning the corner, there was a narrow and deep alley, and then a house.

The cat said, "You can get lost too."

"Alright!" Tiger said, then turned around and immediately took off running!

He didn't want to be curious about what the cat was doing in a place like this; experience had taught him that being too curious could lead to his demise.

The cat went inside and pushed open the door.

The wooden door creaked open, revealing a pitch-black interior.

The cat continued walking inside without stopping, its eyes slightly narrowed.

Suddenly! A gust of wind whistled past my ear!

The cat didn't even look, it just turned and kicked! The foot landed heavily on a person.

A muffled groan was heard from the darkness, as if someone had bumped into something, causing a series of chaotic noises.

The cat took a few more steps, and suddenly a Five Elements magic circle lit up under its feet!

This magic array is quite elaborate! It's something you'd rarely see under normal circumstances! As a trap, ordinary people can't escape it at all! They'll be trapped in that tiny space like they're in a maze.

However, the cat simply made a hand gesture and instantly neutralized it!

The Five Elements magic array on the ground dimmed, and the cat came out.

The door to the main room was open, and the cat was standing in the doorway.

In the darkness, she hummed softly.

He made a hand seal with one hand and suddenly pushed it forward!

In an instant! A fiery serpent shot out! The flames illuminated the area ahead, and wherever the flames passed, the dense, crisscrossing net of fire in the air was melted away with a hiss!

After the fire died down, darkness enveloped us again.

The cat spoke up, "Anything else? Is that all you've got?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the lights suddenly blazed on.

The main room was brightly lit inside and out. Several people came out and looked at the cat with curiosity and surprise in their eyes, but they shouted in unison, "Sect Leader!"

Bai Jiang was also among them. At this moment, he said, "Sect Leader, please take a seat."

The cat looked at the "seat of honor".

Silence fell.

An old-looking armchair, with one armrest broken and the crossbar on the legs broken, with spider webs hanging precariously from it.

The table was covered in dust, and it looked like a mouse had just darted across it.

Seeing that Maomao was standing motionless at the door, Bai Jiang pursed his lips and said, "It's fine if you don't sit down, Sect Master. This is the sect's contact point, it always has been."
