"Ziqi, are you sick? Your voice sounds a little strange. Should I take you to the hospital?"

"Ah! No, I was just running."

"Oh! I see. No wonder you have such a great figure, exercising so early in the morning... You know what? I like you, like the wind that travels eight hundred miles without asking when it will return..."

Li Ziqi moved her phone away and looked at Zhou Yi with a pleading expression.

Even the Book of Changes doesn't know whether this means to stop or not to stop.

However, as Lu Xun once said, if a woman doesn't say no, then she doesn't refuse.

On the other end of the phone, all sorts of cheesy pickup lines were thrown out as if they were free.

The more Zhou Yi listened, the more excited he became.

Prime Minister Cao is indeed a role model for us all; the grass is always greener on the other side.

This long phone call lasted a full two hours.

The person on the other end of the phone was full of enthusiasm, like a young boy who had just acquired a rare treasure.

On the other end of the phone, the reply was only a few words.

Hmm, ah, humph...

Both sides seemed to want more.

Until the phone battery runs out.

A few hundred meters away from Xingchen Company, in a residential building.

Liu Pengfei hung up the phone and let out a long sigh of relief.

The people around him were filled with shock and admiration.

"Dude, you're a great conversationalist!"

Liu Pengfei twitched his nose with his thumb. "That's right! Don't you know I'm known as the most affectionate woman in the Demon City? From sixty-year-old women to ten-year-old girls, there's no one I can't win over."

Everyone gave a thumbs up.

Suddenly, one of them said, "Didn't you guys notice that the voices on the other end sound a bit strange?"

"What's so strange about it? People are running and talking at the same time, of course it's different from usual."

"Which woman can run for two hours?"

The expressions on everyone's faces immediately turned strange.

They are not novice.

Could it be...?

"Heh! Don't forget our purpose!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Pengfei, later you should invite her out and have her recruit us into Starry Sky. Once it's done, Young Master Lin will definitely reward you handsomely!"

Liu Pengfei hesitated and said, "Let's make this clear first, she's my girlfriend now, you can't hurt her!"

"Don't worry! You're our brother, so she's our sister-in-law. Of course we wouldn't hurt her."

With this assurance in hand, Liu Pengfei finally felt relieved and began to look forward to a bright future.

He had long coveted Li Ziqi, this young woman.

However, the next second, with a loud crash, the door shattered.

A figure rushed into the room.

Before they could react, they were knocked unconscious by a tremendous force.

Zhou Yi looked at the people on the other side of the one-way mirror.

"Did they find anything out?"

“Their contact person’s surname is Lin, and he’s known as Young Master Lin. However, they didn’t see his face. Their mission is to infiltrate the interior of the star,” Ouyang Fei said.

"Surname Lin? Could it be someone from the Lin family again?" Zhou Yi rubbed his chin.

It seems like it's time to make a trip to the capital.

The last time two mantis demons attacked the Starry Sky Building, the Lin family was behind it.

The Lin family has tried to mess with him time and time again. If he doesn't react soon, they'll really think he's easy to bully.

Ouyang Fei said, "I don't think things are that simple. After two failures, the Lin family certainly won't show themselves easily. Someone must be trying to frame them..."

Zhou Yi waved his hand, "Whether it's a frame-up or not, the Lin family is our mortal enemy."

Right downstairs from the residential building where Liu Pengfei was arrested.

A man and a woman were sitting in a black minivan.

If Zhou Yi were here, he would definitely recognize the two of them.

The man was his half-brother Xu Sheng, and the other was Zheng Shuang.

"Such a clumsy scheme, Zhou Yi shouldn't fall for it, right?" Zheng Shuang asked.

Xu Sheng said calmly, "No matter the outcome, we haven't lost anything. If he goes, I believe those people will give us a big surprise!"

"You spare no effort in helping the stars expand, aren't you afraid that it will become too big to handle?"

"Heh! Our people have already taken up important positions at Starry Sky. If something happens to Zhou Yi, won't we be the ones calling the shots at Starry Sky?"

Xu Sheng looked out the window. "The superpower schools have been divided up, but those people seem to have forgotten an important place: the training institutions."

"You want to break through this impasse through the Star Training program."

"It's not just Star Training, but also Star Security and Star Healthcare. Once I finally take control of this company, I can trample those old fogies in the capital under my feet..."

"Let Zhou Yi come home for dinner tonight."

The Xu residence.

After enjoying a sumptuous meal, Xu Sheng looked at Zhou Yi and said, "There's a conference about the training industry being held in the capital recently. You should come with me; it will be beneficial for your company."

Zhou Yi's mind stirred.

Isn't this a perfectly legitimate way to go to the capital?

"good!"

A few days later.

Zhou Yi stood atop the Xu Family Building in the capital, overlooking the city.

Compared to the Demon City, the Imperial Capital has a much greater sense of historical weight.

As night fell, a figure slowly appeared beside him.

He was dressed in a blood-red assassin's suit, Bloodfang Set, with his entire face shrouded in the shadow of a cloak.

"Master, we have found out that the Lin family patriarch is celebrating his 80th birthday."

Zhou Yi nodded.

This person is a fourth-tier human assassin from the Demon God Continent, named Blood Shadow.

Two weeks ago, Tian Sha came out of the Sentinel Base portal and almost killed Yang Wei, a Tier 3 beginner demon.

However, when he saw the Book of Changes, he was amazed and immediately offered up the Soul Gem, becoming the Book of Changes' servant.

The Zhouyi (Book of Changes) inquired about the reason.

Blood Shadow only said that he looked a lot like the human ancestor of the Demon God Continent.

However, Zhou Yi always felt that it was his domineering aura that subdued Xue Ying.

"Go, proceed according to plan."
