"Third brother, third brother! Hurry up and catch up!"

Cheng Sheng's voice sounded extremely panicked.

Lin Xi naturally saw Jiang Chuan as well. He was chasing after the invisible man, probably because the invisible man had done something wrong.

With this in mind, Lin Xi unleashed his mental power.

The once bustling street instantly fell silent in her eyes, with only two streams of energy chasing each other.

Oh, now there's another one.

It's Cheng Sheng.

Lin Xi quickly caught up with him.

To avoid arousing suspicion from Jiang Chuan and his group, they deliberately slowed down their movements.

Lin Xi caught up with the unfamiliar energy and casually scooped it up.

He grabbed a piece of cloth in his hand.

Then the thief's figure became visible.

Lin Xi feigned surprise, "Wow! I just grabbed at random and caught a thief!"

Jiang Chuan stopped.

With a flick of his longsword, a small ball of dark element exploded in the thief's face!

A piercing scream echoed in Lin Xi's ears.

She secretly thought to herself, "How long has Jiang Chuan been pursuing me? He's already gotten a little temperamental and started using his superpowers to scare me."

"Big brothers and sisters, I was wrong! I was wrong! I will never do it again!" the thief immediately begged for mercy.

Lin Xi tossed the person to Jiang Chuan's side.

The thief looked up and became even more flustered.

Good heavens, how did he end up in front of this giant Buddha?

Isn't this going to kill him?

Lin Xi raised her head slightly, "Well, you've been chasing me for so long, I won't compete with you for this credit. You can have it. No need to thank me."

Jiang Chuan glanced at her.

That gaze lingered for a long time.

Lin Xi panicked instantly and started rambling, "What are you looking at? Don't stare at me for so long just because I'm good-looking. Let me tell you, I'm not someone you can reach."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Sheng quickly covered her mouth with both hands.

But her red, tear-filled eyes betrayed her; she looked like she was struggling to hold back her laughter.

Jiang Chuan frowned in disgust and looked away.

Has he gone mad?

Why do I feel that this narcissist is so similar to Lin Xi?

He grabbed the thief by the collar and stopped in his tracks. "I'm not going to fight you for this little bit of credit."

Lin Xi then realized that Jiang Chuan was talking to her.

Goodness, look at how disgusted he is.

It seems I've established my persona, which is good.

I reckon that in the future, Jiang Chuan will avoid me whenever he sees me, and I won't have to be so cautious, always worried about being discovered by him.

After all, the next time I stand in front of these friends as Lin Xi, it will be the time when they need to turn against me.

I really hope that day will come later, or never come at all.

Yun also slowly caught up, and when she saw that Jiang Chuan had already caught the person, she stopped, greeted Cheng Sheng from a distance, and then walked back.

Lin Xi felt a little sad.

Cheng Sheng immediately noticed her unusual expression, walked over to carefully observe her complexion, and cautiously asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

After a moment of silence.

Lin Xi then spoke slowly, pointing at Jiang Chuan's back with a hint of anger on her face, "Did you see his expression just now? Why did he look down on me?"

Cheng Sheng:......

"Don't take it to heart, that's just how he is."

Lin Xi clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, "This is too much! What kind of friends do you have?!"

"Uh..." Cheng Sheng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lin Xi looked at her calmly.

Laugh it off, just wait until you drive her away too.

"Alright, alright, let's walk around this area. What if there are still people like that?"

The matter was thus closed.

After four days of experience, Lin Xi still felt much happier patrolling the streets!

Unfortunately, the city guard team really works like a regular job, with these two tasks rotating, and there's practically no time for training.

It's just going to work.

The salary is low; they only give out three mid-level crystal cores a month!

Two days later, Jiang Chuan's attitude towards her suddenly changed again.

She's acting a little strange.

It's not entirely changed, though.

It's clear he still dislikes himself; I suspect my words back then caused him serious psychological trauma.

But besides disdain, there was a hint of ambition in his eyes when he looked at me.

However, based on my understanding of him, this emotion is very similar to how Jiang Chuan used to look at me.

He probably saw the video of her easily defeating Yue Chi, so his fighting addiction kicked in again.

Lin Xi's eyebrows twitched.

I never expected this guy to have his eye on me.

Moreover, on the same day, Chen Jin and Lu Nan both came here to greet Cheng Sheng.

They claimed they needed to see Cheng Sheng's current workstation.

Haha, why did you have to come and watch it now of all times?

Even Lu Nan's eyes kept glancing in her direction.

Lin Xi shook his head inwardly; the real intention was not what it seemed.

It's too obvious, bro.

"What's your name, new friend?" Chen Jin asked frankly.

But based on Lin Xi's understanding of him, it was clear that he was also there to inquire about her situation.

"What new friend? I'm not one of you. I'm called Lao San, the third child in my family." Lin Xi didn't even spare him a glance.

He adopted an arrogant posture, looking down on everyone.

Chen Jin smiled. "Third brother? That's quite a peculiar name."

Lu Nan frowned as well. "Huh? How could it not even have a surname?"

Lin Xi ignored them completely.

Chen Jin's smile deepened. "Alright, Lu Nan, let's go back. Otherwise, Xiao Ge will scold us again."

Lu Nan glanced at Lin Xi again.

He was actually quite disappointed; his appearance and personality were so different from Lin Xi's.

So he turned around and followed Chen Jin.

“It can’t be her. Lin Xi would never act like that towards anyone.” Lu Nan said, shaking his head.

Chen Jin advised, "Don't dwell on these things too much. Whether we'll see Lin Xi reappear in the future depends on fate. Besides, do you really think it will come to that?"

Lu Nan fell silent.

After a long silence, he spoke softly, "If the Wind Eagle Gang headquarters is still unwilling to change its decision in the end, I think there's no need for me to go back. I've worked hard to become stronger step by step to protect the people I want to protect. If one day the knife in my hand has to be pointed at my friends, what's the point of becoming stronger?"

"What if Lin Xi really is a zombie, as they say? Would you still hold firm to your current belief?" Chen Jin asked again.

“Huh? I’ve thought about this possibility countless times since I saw that blood test report.” Lu Nan looked at Chen Jin and said, “You’ve thought about this issue too, haven’t you? I guess we’ve reached the same conclusion.”

Chen Jin smiled again, "Let's go. We've been chatting for so long. If we get caught when we get back, we'll really get a scolding."
