Chapter 257 Across the Sea of Stars...
The two people at the two ends of the interstellar communication looked at each other, one was sitting in a large office with a computer in front of him and a large floor-to-ceiling window behind him with fog outside, and the other was sitting on the top of a fairy peak with a Lingxi mirror in front of him and two cranes flying outside the Xiaoyao Pavilion behind him - these two people with such different styles were actually old acquaintances who had been dealing with each other for hundreds of years.
"I just created this account so that I won't be recognized and I can have some peace and quiet," the old man with a sage-like demeanor on the communication interface stroked his beard, with an incredible look on his face. "Even my closest disciples don't know about it, so how did you know about it, Director Baili? Could it be that the privacy statement on your border communication registration interface is a bluff..."
"It has nothing to do with this. I guessed it. Your account is always easy to guess," Baili Qing said casually, "and you will know what's going on if I tell you something - someone sent a special 'sample' to the Secret Service today. It's a piece of mysterious cloth of unknown origin."
The old man on the screen reacted instantly after hearing it, stroking his beard with a look of realization: "Oh - I see, he sent the things to you so quickly? Yes, yes, yes, I have recently made a new acquaintance online. Although we are not familiar with each other yet, he seems to have a 'chance' that ordinary people don't have. He has obtained strange objects that I can't recognize twice in a row. It's very interesting. The second time, the object is very similar to the object that my senior brother brought back that year. It seems that he also told you about my story, no wonder."
As he spoke, the old man happily picked up the teacup on the jade table beside him, put it to his lips and drank it, seeming very happy.
Baili Qing looked at Yuan Ling Zhenren across from him and was silent for two or three seconds before speaking again: "Do you remember the encrypted communication sent by the border area to the top leaders of all parties yesterday? The unprecedented 'Angel Fall' incident."
Yuan Ling Zhenren immediately swallowed the tea in his mouth and nodded repeatedly: "Of course, when this news came, several old guys almost couldn't sit still. Fairy Shuanghua, who was still in retreat, almost wanted to break out of retreat early. Fortunately, her fellow disciples died to persuade her and returned. I'm afraid it will be lively in the next period of time. Even if this news is not spread, I'm afraid few of the high-level people from all forces can sit still..."
Baili Qing said calmly, "The 'netizen' you just met, the one who sent me the sample early this morning - the dark angel Ankaela, was the one who solved it."
Yuan Ling Zhenren spat out the next sip of tea before it even entered his mouth.
The old man stared: "Are you serious?!"
Then, without waiting for Baili Qing to respond, he waved his hand and said, "It must be true. You wouldn't joke like that with others. This... this is really fate, really fate..."
As he spoke, Yuan Ling Zhenren suddenly stood up and took a few quick steps in the picture: "I should go and see for myself. Such a great man must have divine secrets. It would be good to meet him. Yes, I should meet him. I should pay him a visit..."
He seemed to have made a decision, but after a few seconds he hurried back, shaking his head in annoyance as he walked: "No, alas, Taixu Lingshu is at the critical moment of 'fixing the star', and I can't leave at this time, I really can't leave..."
The old man walked back to the white jade table in two or three steps, and sat down again. He was more agile than the young man. "Well, Director Baili, I will send my most trusted disciple to meet with the master... Um, is that possible?"
Speaking of this, Yuan Ling Zhenren seemed to realize belatedly that his decision was somewhat offensive, and added with a slightly embarrassed look on his face: "I am so reckless, so reckless. Could you please give me some convenience? I know that the matter of 'Angel Fall' must have caused chaos in the border area, but I have some fate with that master, so I will trouble you a lot on this matter... Of course, it also depends on the attitude of that master. Fighting against the Dark Angel must be extremely costly. If he is not convenient, then..."
Baili Qing's expressionless face seemed to be slightly tense at this moment. She had no choice but to interrupt Yuan Ling Zhenren's series of polite words and said, "The 'expert' you mentioned is very approachable. You should be able to feel it after talking to him for so long. The Secret Service can't intervene in his affairs, so you don't need to ask me. Just leave him a message. If he has no objection, you can send your apprentice over. I can help arrange the reception."
Yuan Ling Zhenren pondered for a few seconds, looking like he was stuck, then he raised his head and nodded to Baili Qing very solemnly: "Okay, I will discuss it with him. If this is successful, I will trouble Director Baili."
"You're welcome. Qianfeng Lingshan is an old friend of the Secret Service."
Yuan Ling Zhenren showed a hint of smile on his face, and then before ending the call, he seemed to remember something and asked with a somewhat subtle look: "...Is my alias really that easy to guess?"
Baili Qing said seriously: "It's easy to guess."
Yuan Ling Zhenren pinched his beard and thought for a while, then suddenly laughed as happily as a child: "Hahaha, this is good, this is good! I'll create a new account..."
…
The superluminal communication across the starry sea ended, and the hazy light and shadow on the surface of the Lingxi mirror gradually dissipated. The old man sitting in front of the white jade table stretched out his hand, and the treasure mirror flew into the air and flew into his hand.
He stretched out his hand again and stroked it over the mirror. With a thought, new graphics and text appeared on the mirror. A pattern with the Secret Service logo spread out like ink, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a picture that was very similar to the interface of border communications.
The words "Border Communications - Cross-Border Edition" are also displayed at the top of the screen.
Zhenren Yuan Ling nodded and operated the Lingxi mirror for a while, then he breathed a sigh of relief, hid the mirror in his sleeve, and then looked out of the pavilion.
The mountain road in the clouds is graceful and the fairy peaks are misty.
The old man looked at the sea of clouds, calmed himself down, and called out casually, "Xuan Che!"
His voice was not loud, but it seemed to resonate with the entire sea of clouds and fairy peaks, echoing between heaven and earth in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, a ray of light rose from a distant mountain peak. It soon passed through the clouds and landed in front of Yuan Ling Zhenren. A handsome young man in a blue brocade robe with cloud patterns emerged from the ray of light and bowed to the old man: "Master, what do you want to call me for?"
"Xuan Che, when you went out to do business, did you get your passport and border pass expire?"
The handsome young man called "Xuan Che" was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted: "Not yet, Master."
"Okay, you should prepare in the next two days. You may need to go to the border area and stay there for a few days."
Xuan Che blinked, a little curious and confused: "Border? What does Master want me to do..."
Yuan Ling Zhenren said solemnly: "Go and meet an online friend for me..."
Xuan Che: “……?”
…
In the attic of No. 66 Wutong Road, Yu Sheng was sitting at the large table that had been used to make Irene's body, concentrating on sewing a small piece of clothing.
This is not easy for a novice, but fortunately the structure of this skirt is not complicated, and only a small part of it needs to be modified, so he feels he can handle it.
The problem is that someone is beeping next to you.
Irene sat on the table next to Yu Sheng, her chin supported by her hands, and she muttered to herself while watching Yu Sheng sewing and altering her clothes -
"Hey, Yusheng, are you really capable? If you really can't, you should ask someone for help. I heard that Rapunzel can sew...
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Silly Fox is such a big eater! Did you notice the faces of the two canteen chefs? They looked so desperate. Just serving her food was a hard job.
"Why hasn't my account been unblocked yet? It's already the second day... What if I secretly use Hu Li's ID number to register a new account... It's okay, so what? Why are you glaring at me?
"Can you make me a new body in a couple of days? I got a lot of top-grade alchemical materials from the Secret Service before, so you can use them. This time, I'll try to make one that's 1.67 meters tall..."
"Let me tell you, I used to have a great figure! Better than Hu Li!
"Hey, Yusheng, can you really do this..."
Yu Sheng raised his head and glared at this Bibiji.
"I really don't care if you keep talking nonsense! Sew it yourself!"
Irene shrank her head instantly and muttered, "If you don't allow me to say it, then don't say it, tsk."
Yu Sheng sighed and continued to sew and alter the "baby clothes" that Irene was not comfortable to wear.
Irene was watching with her head propped up nearby. She finally calmed down and stared at this side with a pair of scarlet eyes, occasionally laughing foolishly, but no one knew what she was laughing at.
At this moment, the cell phone on the table next to him suddenly vibrated.
Irene walked over, picked up the phone, took a look at it, and handed it to Yu Sheng with both hands raised: "Here you go, this is the border communication system notification. It seems that we have received a message from a stranger."
"Wait a minute," Yu Sheng quickly finished the last few stitches, tied a knot in the thread, bit it off, put the needle and thread away, and then reached out to take the phone, "Stranger message... Who would send me a message..."
As he spoke, he had already unlocked the phone and clicked into the border communication interface. He immediately saw a private message from a stranger pop up from the new contact.
Yu Sheng took a look and saw that the stranger's name was "Evil Disciple 4000". He had sent two messages in total. The first message read: "Hello, fellow Taoist. I am Evil Disciple 3000. This is my new account."
Yu Sheng: “…”
Then he saw the content of the second message:
"I am very interested in the strange objects you have discovered one after another, and I have also heard some of your stories recently. I feel that we have known each other too late. I wanted to visit you in person to discuss some of the secrets of strange objects, but I am busy with so many things here that I cannot get away. It just so happens that one of my disciples has gone to the border area to do some work recently. He is also very good at strange objects and exotic things. I want him to visit you. I wonder if it is convenient? Please forgive me if I have disturbed you."
Yu Sheng broke out in a cold sweat...
