Yue Jiuling's teammate this time was still Bai Xinyu. The two set off according to the assigned address and arrived at a large reservoir in the western suburbs.

"Jiuling, do you think that big fish will be in this place?" Bai Xinyu asked Yue Jiuling beside her.

Because the weather was so nice today, sunny and clear, Bai Xinyu brought a parasol with her when she came out, saying that she had to take precautions against the sun no matter what.

Yue Jiuling wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Oh, how would I know? Let me check if it's there. It's quite hot today, tsk tsk, I should have brought an umbrella with me."

The temperature is already quite high in late June. Going out for a short while leaves you drenched in sweat. Standing in the sun for even a short time can feel like melting. Yue Jiuling hates the heat the most, and she wouldn't go out unless she had work to do.

The reservoir was guarded, and the two sneaked in, bypassing the management staff. After looking around and finding nothing, they decided to test the water.

Just as Bai Xinyu was dipping a small bamboo pole, nearly a meter long, into the water, Yue Jiuling's phone suddenly rang. It turned out to be a call from Yue Jiunian.

Ever since that day when Yue Jiuling stood Yue Jiunian up because she was going to catch a giant catfish, forcing Yue Jiuling to take a taxi back to J City by herself, Yue Jiunian started saying that she wanted to temporarily break off her friendship with Yue Jiuling. She also said that she was now rich and could go out and have fun, and that she was going to buy a big house that Yue Jiuling wouldn't live in.

Yue Jiuling scoffed at her childish behavior and gave her a task: to quickly find other split-soul companions and not waste time.

When Yue Jiu Nian suddenly called her, Yue Jiu Ling thought something was wrong.

Yue Jiuling answered the phone: "Hello, what's up?"

It seemed that Yue Jiu Nian was in a very noisy place. The phone was noisy, and you could only vaguely hear Yue Jiu Nian saying, "Yue Jiu Ling, I'm at the station now. I'm about to go to the last mountain we stayed at to see if I can find my body again. Come find me when you're done."

Yue Jiuling knew what the last mountain she stayed in was. When she was injured, she went to a high mountain, and her last consciousness and memories were from there. Therefore, it was most likely that her true body was left there.

She remembered that the mountain was currently located in a restricted area in Yunnan, where there were many strange things and mysterious humans with supernatural abilities. She had hidden in a small cave back then, but when she was working at the management office, she had gone there to look for it, but she found nothing.

Yue Jiuling recalled, "Jiunian, I actually went back to look for that place, but I didn't find anything. I think you probably won't find it this time either. Do you think we remembered the wrong place?"

Yue Jiu Nian also said, "Actually, I also wondered if we remembered it wrong, but then I thought about it again, could it be because the mountain has changed over time and the true body has been buried?"

After she finished speaking, an announcement came over the loudspeaker that the train had arrived and passengers were asked to board. Yue Jiu Nian, who had to catch her train, hurriedly said her last words: "Alright, no matter what, I have to go and look for it again. I have to catch my train now."

After Yue Jiu Nian finished speaking, she hung up the phone with a snap. Yue Jiu Ling knew that she was determined to go there, so she didn't stop her. Anyway, it wouldn't hurt to search a little longer. What if she really found the real body?

After putting away her phone, Yue Jiuling reached out and took Bai Xinyu's hand. Since Bai Xinyu had already gone into the water and the small bamboo pole she had previously inserted hadn't reacted, she decided to go into the water herself.

"Hey, take it easy. Aren't you afraid of drowning? You dared to go down there." Yue Jiuling frowned as she looked at the water below. You know, cats generally hate water.

Bai Xinyu didn't turn around even when her hand was grabbed. She sank down with disgust: "Do you think I want to go down? I'm just afraid that, like last time, there might be a barrier hidden in the water. Ugh, this water is so annoying. I'll look again. If I can't find it, then forget it."

Bai Xinyu sank lower and lower, and Yue Jiuling pulled her down as well. Just when the two of them had found nothing and were about to go ashore, they suddenly sensed a faint trace of demonic power in the water.

Found it!

"We found the first target location unexpectedly. Looks like we're in luck."

After sensing that trace of demonic power, the two were very excited. Yue Jiuling carefully pulled Bai Xinyu up: "Alright, come on up quickly. I'll inform everyone that we can make our move when it gets dark."

After Bai Xinyu climbed out of the reservoir, she used magic to dry her clothes, and then watched Yue Jiuling send a message to the group.

After Yue Jiuling finished sending the message, she asked, "Jiuling, is your application for a temporary post because of your friend?"

Yue Jiuling knew she was asking about Yue Jiunian, so she said, "Yes, we have other things to do, so we have to leave here."

Bai Xinyu knew that Yue Jiuling had her own things to do, so she didn't ask any more questions. She just nodded and said, "Alright, we've been working together for so long, I'm quite reluctant to part with you."

Yue Jiuling paused and then laughed: "I'm just on temporary assignment, not resigning. What are you doing?"

"If they're already on temporary assignment, how far are they from resigning?"

Bai Xinyu glanced at Yue Jiuling indifferently, making Yue Jiuling feel a little guilty.

That's right, Bai Xinyu guessed correctly. Ever since Yue Jiunian came back, Yue Jiuling's mind has been elsewhere. She had planned to apply for a temporary post, but after finding Yue Jiunian, she had the idea of ​​resigning, but she just hasn't brought it up yet.
