After the demise of the Cat God Sect, Bu'ou's position became a mystery. Not only did he sit back and watch the Cat God Sect being wiped out, he even fanned the flames, becoming the biggest contributor to Team Nangong's operation. If it weren't for his dark history of destroying half of Sufang City, the Twenty-Eight Mansions might even have classified him as a friendly super-powered creature.
Yuan Zhao, the only person who had contact with Bu'ou, who was once an undercover agent of the Cat God Sect and is now an official member of the Beigong team, was also very respectful of Bu'ou in his words. He even guaranteed to Bu'ou that he had no ill will towards humans and would not become an enemy of the Twenty-Eight Mansions when questioned by Luo Bozi.
In addition, since Bu Ou had not been seen for such a long time, the Twenty-Eight Mansions sealed the information about Bu Ou as top secret and erased his name from the external wanted list. Only in the highly confidential threat level report could one find any trace of his appearance.
"And when the Cat God Cult was just destroyed, Ragdoll Cat was the highest threat level," Li Hua pouted depressedly, "but it turned out that the three Biluo masters were real, and the Biluo Huangquan organization gradually surfaced. Now Ragdoll Cat can't even rank in the top three!"
[……]
Cat Toy rolled his eyes.
[Didn’t you just complain about the Twenty-Eight Mansions treating the crispy fairy cat as a super villain? Why are you now complaining that the villain ranking you were given is too low? Besides, Ragdoll Cat is not a villain at all! ]
"What do you know? Cats should have ambitions," Li Hua listened to the meeting in boredom, and talked nonsense with the cat toy in his mind, "Even if I have to take the blame, I have to take the heaviest and darkest blame!"
Cat Toys Speechless.
While the two of them were chatting, Luo Bozi had already decided to put Bo Ou on the wanted list again, which meant that from now on all surveillance and secret lines across the country would report to the headquarters for processing the moment they saw the Ragdoll Cat.
...
...
Lihua didn't think it mattered. Anyway, the ragdoll cat was very happy in the cat cafe. The daily routine of eating, sleeping and playing with cats was much more interesting than fighting hellhounds. He was unwilling to leave even if there were no restrictions.
The only problem is that Sufang No. 1 Middle School moved to a new campus. In order to ensure Yun Jian's convenience in study and life, Yun Jian's parents bought a house in the residential area near the new campus. It is too far away from the cat cafe here, and they can no longer come to play with Ragdoll Cat every week like before.
However, he has no time to think about this for now, because Yun Jian has more important things to deal with.
He had to confirm Yan Anqing's condition.
Li Hua made an appointment with Yan Anqing to meet in the evening that day. He postponed all other things including the night patrol, and even asked Tang Aibai to lead a team to ambush near the community, hoping to catch the Biluo organization that threatened Yan Anqing's safety. As a result, he didn't see Yan Anqing at all that night, and he couldn't even communicate with him. He was so anxious that he searched the nearby area but found nothing.
If he hadn't met Yan Anqing the next day while taking online classes at home, he would have almost broken into the Biluo organization's stronghold.
After that, Li Hua secretly went to find Yan Anqing several times, but Yan Anqing responded with harsh words, "Don't bother me, I've already taken care of it." He even squatted in front of his window for most of the night but failed to get Yan Anqing to agree to let him into the house. He had no choice but to let his original body take action.
"Yan Anqing is a man with a hard mouth but a soft heart. If nothing serious had happened, he would never have treated the tabby cat like this," Yun Jian frowned in distress, "and I can feel that he is also deliberately distancing himself from me."
Yun Jian could guess that Yan Anqing's alienation was probably to prevent the Biluo organization from targeting him, but he could not use his identity as Li Hua to openly offer help or intervene forcefully. Who knew if the Biluo organization had done anything else to Yan Anqing? If he was like one of those fanatics who would commit suicide by burning himself in an instant if caught, then he would have no place to cry.
Therefore, he had to approach Yan Anqing in a roundabout way. On Monday, he said he wanted to go to his house to play games. On Tuesday, he said he wanted to watch the latest movie with him. On Wednesday, he followed him to pet the cats in the cat cafe. On Thursday, he had no excuses left, so he just pretended to be pitiful and said he had run away from home and needed him to take him in.
Yan Anqing refused again and again, and finally had no choice but to use his trump card: "My father is at home these days, you can't come."
Yun Jian's heart skipped a beat.
He knew how much damage Yan Anqing had suffered from what happened to his father. The once lively and cheerful child was now sharp-tongued, arrogant and extreme in his actions, almost all due to the influence of this.
He also knew that Yan Anqing's father had never returned to Sufang City since his divorce from his mother. Although he was quite generous with money, he had never spoken a word to him in all these years. He even declared in an interview that this was "the biggest stain in his life." It was not clear whether he was referring to the fact that Yan Anqing had publicly exposed his infidelity, or to Yan Anqing himself.
In any case, his father's sudden return to Sufang City at this time was more likely due to coercion or even brainwashing than a change of heart wanting to be good to his son.
What exactly does the Biluo organization want to do? Does Yan Anqing know about this?
That night, the tabby cat transformed into a cat and quietly slipped into Yan Anqing's house through the ventilation duct. It did not dare to stay there, but just sat at the outlet of the fresh air system with a wronged look on its face, with its ears pricked up and trying to listen to the noise outside.
Unexpectedly, there was no sound from the other person, only the click of the door latch, the light coming on, and the sound of someone's footsteps in slippers approaching.
The tabby cat, who was familiar with Yan Anqing's living habits, chose the air vent in the center of the living room. He could hear all of Yan Anqing's movements clearly, and naturally he could also hear the sound of the portal opening.
So his father didn't come back at all, this was just an excuse. The one who would actually appear in Yan Anqing's house was the Biluo Organization - Li Hua didn't even know for a moment whether he should be relieved or worried.
A man in a black robe wearing a Satan mask appeared in the living room. Without even a word of greeting, he asked, "Is the work done?"
Yan Anqing lowered his head.
He looked timid and cowardly, "The cat demon is still angry because I broke the appointment that day. I am trying to find a way to coax him. A few days ago, he was willing to stay in front of my window for a while to listen to me. It should be soon."
Lihuahua Maomao: "..."
This guy is really good at lying with his eyes open! It's obvious that he was the one who shut himself out of the window!
[It seems he has no intention of selling you.]
Cat toys are no big deal.
[But he is really brave. If the Biluo Organization had eavesdropped on his conversation with Li Hua, he would have been treated as a traitor now.]
Li Hua also felt that Yan Anqing's approach was a bit risky, but in front of Cat Toy, he still protected him reflexively: "Maybe he knows the inside story and is sure that no one will eavesdrop on him."
They talked for a moment and continued to listen attentively to the conversation on the other side.
The Satan Mask stared at Yan Anqing coldly, not knowing whether he believed it or not, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yan Anqing, the Palace Master trusts you. If you fail him, do you need me to repeat what the consequences will be?"
Yan Anqing still didn't look up, trembling with fear and saying nothing.
"You destroyed the summoning blood formation and implicated the Palace Master, who was punished by the Sword Master. Despite such disrespectful behavior, the Palace Master did not pursue you. You should be grateful for his kindness," Satan Mask said as a matter of course. At the end, he did not forget to threaten him, "Your task is very simple. Get a drop of blood from the cat demon and put it into the compass given to you by the Palace Master. I will give you another ten days. If you still cannot complete it, you will have to go to the Heavenly Palace Rakshasa Formation."
Yan Anqing nodded repeatedly, his shoulders hunched up in fear. He looked like he was convinced, but he was actually sneering in his heart.
It wasn't him who wanted to enter the blood summoning array. Didn't these scum kidnap him and throw him in? They didn't let him save himself? He also wanted the cat demon's blood. It was wishful thinking. It was just a Rakshasa array. He could just go. He didn't believe that the hall master was willing to kill him who had absorbed the power of the blood array and recognized the cat demon.
Besides, with his current strength, after ten more days of training, he might be able to kill that crazy hall master - no one wants him to be alive anyway, and dying inexplicably would be frustrating, but dying for revenge and killing the enemy like this is such a heroic thing!
The only person he felt sorry for might be Yun Jian, but if he were alive, the Biluo organization would sooner or later go after Yun Jian in order to restrain him. It would be better for him to die. Yun Jian still has the cat demon to protect him, which would be safer.
The more he thought about it, the more reliable it seemed to him. He was interested in assassinating the Palace Master. At the vent, Li Hua was also listening attentively to the conversation between Yan Anqing and the Satan Mask.
After getting the position of captain of the Xuandian elite team, he came to Sufang City several times by taking the opportunity of completing missions and visiting stray cats. Wodi's memory has been shared with the main body and other cats. At this time, Lihua can easily judge from the mask pattern of Satan's mask and the style of the black robe that he is also a member of the elite team.
However, it was not the Xuandian elite team under Wodi, but the Tiandian elite team led by the master of Tiandian.
"It seems that the opening of the killing array at Sufang No. 1 Middle School and the subsequent tying of thirteen students as sacrifices for the blood summoning array were presided over by the Heavenly Palace," Li Hua analyzed with a flash of murderous intent in his dark blue eyes, "The blood summoning array was not completed because Yan Anqing used my power to break free. No wonder the Heavenly Palace is clearly the leader of the four palaces of heaven, earth, black and yellow, but now it seems that it can't suppress the other three palaces."
Part of his strength was lost in the fishing village, and part of it was consumed in summoning two Class C hellhounds. In the end, he failed to accomplish his goal and was punished by the swordsman. No wonder the Lord of the Heavenly Palace has been so low-key recently, completely unlike the guy who kept spirit fish in the most conspicuous pond and did not allow anyone else to get within ten meters.
"But he didn't touch Yan Anqing. Instead, he asked the elite team to contact him. Is he trying to make a comeback with Yan Anqing? Is he relying on Yan Anqing to know me?"
There was too little information known, and there were still many things that Li Hua didn't understand, but he didn't need to understand, because there was obviously a better solution than to deal with it one move at a time.
"I wanted to stay as the leader of the elite team for a while longer, but it seems I can't do that any longer," he muttered, stretching out his cat claws and nimbly jumping out of the ventilation duct. "Cat Toy, send a message to Wodi. Get the position of the master of the Heavenly Palace within ten days!"
Since the Lord of the Heavenly Palace can restrain Yan Anqing, wouldn’t it be better for me to become the Lord of the Heavenly Palace!
Maybe I can use my identity as the Lord of the Heavenly Palace to urge Yan Anqing to study hard and get into the top ten in the class, and finally get a pass in the cultural subjects of the art exam to get into the Central Academy of Fine Arts. Wouldn't that be great!
The author has something to say:
The Lord of the Heavenly Palace in the Wodi version (pointing): Your task this month is to get 90 points in math! If you don't, you will be sent to the Rakshasa Formation!
Yan Anqing (horrified): There are such evil people in the world!
So he took out a dagger, ready to die together with the Lord of the Heavenly Palace.
Woody: ...
Wait, let's talk it over! If you really can't do it, you can get 85 points! Or can I let the elite team tutor you?
