"Hey, Yu Kuangtu!"

"At least pay attention to the hierarchy of positions. I can't find a reason to deduct your money without feeling guilty. Even if I don't call you Director Yu, it wouldn't be too much to call you Comrade Yu or Brother Yu, right?"

"I have something urgent to tell you! I'm at Lake Ailan in Xiang City. Just now I..."

By the time Ren Suo finished his call, the man from the Ellan Lake Boat Rental Office had already arrived in his Little Duck speedboat.

The uncle was relieved when he saw that both of them were awake. "I was so scared. You two didn't come out of the water for several minutes. I almost had to call an ambulance! Let me tell you, you young lovers can fool around in other places, but you have to be careful. This is a lake--"

"Go ahead." Ren Suo interrupted him, "She needs treatment. Let's go back in your speedboat. I don't have the strength and don't want to row anymore."

Ren Suo then pulled Gu Yueyan into the duck speedboat. The uncle muttered something as if complaining that he would have to come back and take the boat away later, but two guests falling into the water was no small matter after all, so the uncle still obediently pulled them back.

"Have you had enough?"

Gu Yueyan, who had been silent since coming ashore, suddenly spoke.

Ren Suo looked down and found that he had been holding Gu Yueyan's hand the whole time - Gu Yueyan had no more strength left, and she was pulled onto the boat by Ren Suo. When Ren Suo got back to the boat, he immediately picked up his phone and made a call with one hand, and he had forgotten about this.

"Oh, sorry." Ren Suo naturally let go of her hand and turned his head to look at the center of the lake where they fell into the water.

Gu Yueyan quickly glanced at him and snorted coldly: "You just used this hand to hold Teacher Dong's hand for a whole day and night?"

Ren Suo blinked, looked at his left and right hands, thought for a moment before nodding and saying, "Yes, it is indeed this hand. I remember that I used my right hand to support my urination at that time—"

"I don't want to know which hand you use to pee!" Gu Yueyan said gritting his teeth.

Ren Suo was used to Gu Yueyan's sudden anger, so he turned around and asked, "Uncle, has there been any falling into the lake recently?"

"No!" The uncle immediately denied: "Don't slander us, we have taken good precautions here, but you came too late - there are usually lifeguards patrolling the lake!"

"Really..." Ren Suo looked at the lake.

It got dark quickly. Although there were street lights by the lake, they obviously could not illuminate the center of the lake. Now the center of the lake was completely dark, as if there was a monster hiding in the lake.

However, Ren Suo felt that the Holy Grail had disappeared from the lake.

The mark of the Luoshen jade pendant on his right hand was no longer hot, and he didn't even feel the slightest sense of crisis.

It was as if he had just had a dream in the water.

Ren Suo felt that even after Yu Kuangtu and his men arrived, they probably wouldn't be able to find out anything.

The Holy Grail can even trade with players, so it is naturally conscious. It probably decided to hunt down Ren Suo and Gu Yueyan because they were two weak, pitiful and helpless monks.

If Yu Kuangtu and his men came with a large team to search, the Holy Grail would most likely remain hidden.

By then, Yu Kuangtu might think that Ren Suo was dreaming due to lack of oxygen.

"But I clearly remember what happened at the bottom of the lake..." Ren Suo sighed.

Gu Yueyan snorted and mumbled something, but Ren Suo couldn't hear it clearly.

Ren Suo looked at her strangely: "Is there water in your nose that you haven't blown out? I have some tissues here..."

"No way!" Gu Yueyan was so angry that his whole body was shaking: "Do you remember what happened at the bottom of the lake?"

"Hmm? Remember." Ren Suo sighed and pointed at his lower lip: "After all, this is a dangerous situation. I won't mind the fact that you bit my mouth. Change this bad habit next time..."

Gu Yueyan's face turned red as if she had put rouge on it. She bit her lower lip tightly, turned her head and stopped talking to Ren Suo.

Hearing the conversation between Ren Suo and Gu Yueyan, the uncle driving the boat in front was full of resentment. He just thought something happened to these two people, but he didn't expect that they actually wanted to play such a high-end underwater game...

Ten minutes later, Xiang City's Countermeasures Bureau and ambulance arrived. Ren Suo naturally stayed to accompany them in the search, while Gu Yueyan got on the ambulance and went to the hospital for examination.

Before they parted, Ren Suo stopped Gu Yueyan and said, "It was my fault for not protecting you well this time. Besides... Anyway, if you still need my help with medical treatment, I can help you again on a voluntary basis. This is my apology."

Gu Yueyan retorted: "Can't I cash it in?"

Ren Suo pondered for a moment and shook his head regretfully: "It's too expensive, I can't cash it in..."

Gu Yueyan couldn't help but chuckle at Ren Suo's roundabout way of raising his own worth, then quickly stopped smiling and said, "Humph, I've fully awakened, so I don't need you to continue accompanying me for treatment."

Ren Suo nodded: "Then let's write it off..."

"——But I will put it on the account, remember, you owe me!" Gu Yueyan said viciously.

Ren Suo shrugged: "Whatever you want. By the way, that silver light just now, was it your awakening spell?"

Gu Yueyan was slightly startled and nodded.

“Then I have to thank you for saving my life, and your awakening spell suits you very well, it’s pure and beautiful.” Ren Suo sighed - he hasn’t awakened yet.

However, Ren Suo's aptitude was not high to begin with, so it was natural that he had not awakened. Moreover, he had a small world game console, which meant he had a lot more awakening abilities. But it was natural for the 'pay-to-win players' to envy the 'Emperor of Europe'.

“…Of course.”

Gu Yueyan turned her head away so that Ren Suo wouldn't see the blush on her face, and quickly got into the ambulance and left.

Ren Suo also breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was for emergency treatment, it was also a fact that he took away the girl's lips.

It would be best to just joke around like this and let the other person ignore the behavior. Ren Suo didn't think that was called kissing.

"Lianjiang's team is still on the way, and it is dangerous to search at night. We will not start the search until the lights and boats come."

The person in charge sent by the Xiang City Countermeasures Bureau was also a young man. He found Ren Suo and said, "I am Shen Hong, the captain of the first team of the Xiang City Countermeasures Bureau. If possible, please explain the situation first."

Ren Suo told Shen Hong about his experience with Gu Yueyan. After that, he suddenly asked, "Is there a large-scale training base for cultivators nearby?"

Shen Hong was a little wary: "Why are you asking this?"

"I think this kind of strange incident should not be out of thin air, it is very likely related to the spiritual energy in the vicinity." Ren Suo was naturally making up a story: "I am a researcher affiliated with the countermeasure system, and I need to know this information."

Shen Hong seemed to know Ren Suo's information. After thinking for a moment, he said, "There is indeed a similar place, but it belongs to a confidential unit. Don't ask too much."

That should be the place where Yuan and his companions practiced, Ren Suo thought, and everything closed up.

"Another poor day, wake up! Another poor day, wake up!"

Hearing the piercing sound of the alarm, Lin Xianyu immediately jumped up from his bed, raised his hands, and shouted in pain:

"Why haven't I become rich even after I woke up?!"

“…Puff.”

Hearing the laughter, Lin Xianyu opened his eyes and saw Gu Yueyan sitting on the side taking off his shoes. He immediately pointed at the latter and said, "You didn't come back all night. You are a bad girl. I'm paying attention to you! Tell me, where did you go last night and what happened!"

"Nothing happened." Gu Yueyan took off his socks and took out clothes from the closet.

"Ah, your clothes now are different from when you went out yesterday!" Lin Xianyu was shocked: "You are such a shameless girl!"

"What are you talking about, you useless guy!" Gu Yueyan was so angry that she rushed over and wrestled with Lin Xianyu. Her previous clothes were all wet, so she naturally changed into a new set when she went to the hospital for a check-up.

She was in a hurry to get back so she didn't want her roommates to misunderstand her. She didn't expect Lin Xianyu to wake up so early! Fortunately, Lin Xianyu was the only one left in the dormitory, and the other two roommates had already gone home to reunite.

Gu Yueyan was agile and Lin Xianyu was still unconscious. Naturally, the latter was beaten so hard that he couldn't fight back and could only hide in the air-conditioned quilt and scream:

"The squad leader who was on a date beat someone up, the squad leader who had a boyfriend beat someone up, the squad leader who had a partner beat someone up. Is there any law? Is there anyone to take care of this?"

Suddenly, the fist hitting the quilt stopped. Lin Xianyu stuck his head out and saw Gu Yueyan taking the clothes and going to the bathroom without saying a word.

"I took a shower!"

Lin Xianyu lifted the quilt and said with some confusion: "You are only satisfied with the victory of fists, and you ran away before you even win with words. This is not like a squad leader... huh?"

Naturally, one has to put down the phone when taking a shower. Lin Xianyu saw Gu Yueyan's phone on the table, smiled, and quietly went over to pick it up and unlock it - the two of them were very familiar with each other this semester, so Lin Xianyu naturally knew the phone password a long time ago.

"Let me see where the monitor went yesterday and what pictures he took... Hmm?"

Lin Xianyu blinked and looked at the picture on the phone, the smile on her face froze instantly.
