Have you ever had a moment when the corners of your mouth slightly lifted, but the light in your eyes slowly dimmed?

This is what Yu Kuangtu is like now.

Although Lianjiang seems to be the only Xuanguo city that has been attacked by enemies from another world, after the Countermeasures Bureau reported the collected intelligence, the Countermeasures Headquarters did not issue any further orders, but only asked all the Countermeasures Bureau members to work in three shifts 24 hours a day to guard the city at all times. However, the Countermeasures Bureaus in most cities across the country have entered a state of emergency, which is also reasonable.

The main reason is that apart from Xuan Country, other countries have a lot of information about witnessing, fighting and killing enemies from other worlds. Even You Jian, a Taoist priest from the Great Wall of Xuan Country, personally participated in the Federation's "Yosemite Battle".

Compared with this detailed intelligence, which even has 4K video records, the minor incidents in Lianjiang are naturally not taken seriously.

Not to mention that the report from Lianjiang showed that there were no casualties. People in the Countermeasures Bureau joked that the alien enemies who came to Lianjiang must have lost their way. Not only that, but they were unlucky enough to run into the angry Deputy Director Qiao...

However, Yu Kuangtu still had to be on duty in the Countermeasures Bureau and keep in touch with the Yangtze River Monk Troops in Lianjiang City. In this way, he worked until broad daylight to deal with official documents. When he finally found some free time to sleep, Bai Ji came to visit him.

Yu Kuangtu knew with his shed toe that Bai Ji must have come for Ren Suo's matter.

After all, it's easy to fool others about concealing the whereabouts of Ren Suo and Dong Chengling, but it's difficult for Bai Ji to fool around. What if he says that he also wants to temporarily join the Countermeasures Bureau and act together with Dong Chengling and Ren Suo?

Your Countermeasures Bureau has recruited a cultivator like Lian Rensuo who is ranked 39th, so you can't refuse Bai Ji, the 9th-ranked 'Crystal Palace Master', right?

But since he had promised Qiao Muyi to help conceal the whereabouts of Dong Chengling and Ren Suo, Yu Kuangtu would naturally find a way to get rid of Bai Ji.

Before Bai Ji came to see him, Yu Kuangtu had already thought of a solution.

As soon as Bai Ji comes in, I will give him a warning!

Then loudly state that Dong Chengling and Ren Suo are now important consultants to the Countermeasures Bureau, and the Countermeasures Bureau will protect their safety well, so you, Bai Ji, don't have to worry!

The affairs of the Countermeasures Bureau have nothing to do with you, Bai Ji!

Finally, he called Li Dan in and asked him to see the guest off!

A show of force, a promise, a rejection, and an extra send-off, a perfect combo!

There was a knock on the door. Yu Kuangtu adjusted his mood a little, put his hands on the table in a commander-like posture, and said in a solemn voice: "Come in."

"Bai Ji, the Countermeasures Bureau is currently busy dealing with the alien enemies. I am very busy now and don't have time to listen to you."

Yu Kuangtu’s show of force came to an abrupt end.

He placed his hands limply on the table, his body hair stood on end, and he stared at the door without blinking.

A man in winter clothes that gave a sense of seasonal confusion was standing at the door. He had an ice-blue scarf with a white diamond pattern wrapped around his woolen coat. He was looking at Yu Kuangtu with a gaze that was as cold as ice and would never melt.

"No matter how busy you are, you won't owe me this moment, right?"

Bai Ji came over and pulled out a chair to sit down, looking at Yu Kuangtu and said, "You have to at least help me register. I, Bai Ji, am now a fourth-level cultivator."

Fourth-level monk!

Another fourth-level monk!

In Lianjiang City, the third fourth-level cultivator appeared!

The corners of Yu Kuangtu's mouth rose slightly, but the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

He forced a smile and said, "Okay, congratulations, Bai Ji. I'll have someone update your information right away. Your French Open account and other benefits will be increased. I'll give you a list of the country's support for fourth-level monks later..."

"We'll talk about that later." Bai Ji placed his hands on the table, leaning forward slightly, and the aura of a rank 4 cultivator on his body exploded further. He asked word by word, "Where is Ren Suo? And where is Dong Chengling?"

"If the Countermeasures Bureau recruited them, then it's okay to let me have a video call with them. Is that not too much? They are not scientific researchers, and the reason you recruited them has nothing to do with secrets. You just need them to use awakening spells to provide routine services. There is no reason to cut off all their contact information, right?"

Of course there is a reason!

Yu Kuangtu really wanted to fight back in a tough manner, but the pressure from the fourth-level cultivator was too strong. Even if Bai Ji had no murderous intention at all, Yu Kuangtu felt the fear of a child facing an adult, and he couldn't speak toughly at all!

In this case, I can only use this last resort!

Yu Kuangtu's eyes turned cold and he shouted loudly: "Li Dan!"

"What's the matter?" Li Dan asked, leaning against the door.

"Is Qiao Muyi at work? Take Bai Ji to see her! Also, find a way to free up my time at night. I want to practice!"

Yu Kuangtu was really ruthless this time. Qiao Muyi's breakthrough before the battle was beyond anyone's expectation, but why did even Bai Ji advance to the fourth level before him! ?

In fact, it was very normal for Bai Ji to be promoted to the fourth level. In terms of time, he was actually promoted to the third level earlier than Yu Kuangtu, Qiao Muyi and even Dong Chengling. Moreover, he was almost the first batch of military cultivators in Xuan Kingdom. He had been practicing for a long time and had a high talent for practice. His promotion to the fourth level can be said to have grasped the key point of 'dripping water wears away a stone'. It was a natural result of his accumulated strength.

However, Yu Kuangtu just couldn't get over this!

Even Bai Ji has reached the fourth level!

He and Bai Ji, one is fire and the other is ice, so there is a natural competitive atmosphere between them. He never expected that Bai Ji, who usually made cakes and ice cream all day long as if she was practicing as a bride, would actually leave him far behind!

If this continues, won't even that guy Ren Suo be able to climb over his head and pee and shit on him?

No, no, I must be promoted to the fourth level, even if I don’t fall in love or rest!

Yu Kuangtu even suspected that his love life was hindering his progress in cultivation. Look at those who have now advanced to the fourth level, Dong Chengling, Qiao Muyi, and Bai Ji. Aren’t they all single dogs who don’t even have time to show their affection?

Yu Kuangtu thought about the four characters he had seen before: Mr. Chuan, covered in bandages, a mummy single dog; You Jian, haha, a legendary single straight male cancer licker.

So that's how it is!

Yu Kuangtu made up his mind in an instant and decided not to date Qin Lian for the time being and return to the state of single nobles! If the medicine is not a pill, it is just poison. It is too shameful for a person not to turn four!

Anyway, Qin Lian is about to start school now, so there is no way to make an appointment with him.

Li Dan said, "Deputy Director Qiao? She is at work, but the Countermeasures Bureau in Tianjing was trying to contact her just now, so she may not be available now."

General Administration of Countermeasures?

Yu Kuangtu was slightly stunned. Although Qiao Muyi was also a deputy director, she was only responsible for a small part of the affairs. Yu Kuangtu wanted her to take on more work, but she refused.

Therefore, Yu Kuangtu is in charge of most administrative affairs. The General Administration of Countermeasures should either contact the director or him. Why did they contact Qiao Muyi alone this time?

Yu Kuangtu also became curious, and took Bai Ji to find Qiao Muyi. Standing by the door, he heard Qiao Muyi's voice: "... Well, I've thought it through. I really don't plan to join the Great Wall. Thank you for the kindness of the Great Wall."

"Reason? The reason is because of some personal reasons..."

"Well, I don't have many relatives here, and it has nothing to do with family affection. I just... I like Lianjiang very much. I'm used to living here and don't want to move."

"What? Three months of paid vacation a year? But I really don't want to leave Lianjiang..."

"Will the Great Wall open a base in Lianjiang in a few years? Yes, then I will be able to return to Lianjiang to work in a few years. Thank you very much for your kindness, but I really don't plan to leave for too long..."

"…The Great Wall benefits are so good?"

“…”

"Well, I am really grateful to the Great Wall for its attention and love for me. Then I will also make it clear that the reason why I don't want to leave Lianjiang is because my lover is in Lianjiang..."

Yu Kuangtu turned his head to look at Bai Ji, and made a mouth shape in surprise: Qiao Muyi can actually fall in love?

How could someone actually like her, and she could also like someone else?

Yu Kuangtu thought that Qiao Muyi had no interest in men and was only planning to start a harem in the Countermeasures Bureau.

Bai Ji also looked at him in surprise. You don’t even know this. No wonder you can’t be promoted to the fourth level. It seems that there is a shortcoming in your brain.

"...Yes, I know that the Great Wall can arrange a job for him, but what about my lover? He has no ambitions, is usually lazy, very cute, very playful, silly and not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships..."

Yu Kuangtu frowned slightly, and couldn't think of any unlucky guy in the Countermeasures Bureau who met these characteristics. And what was going on with these characteristics? Was this man born to be a gigolo? Did Qiao Muyi keep a gigolo?

But if you think about it carefully, considering Qiao Muyi's personality, it seems natural and even reasonable for her to keep a gigolo...

"Of course, Great Wall can definitely arrange a job for him that suits his personality, but what I want to say is that he and I are the same kind of people. Being the deputy director of the Countermeasures Bureau has already consumed a lot of my energy, and Great Wall's high welfare and high treatment naturally also correspond to more obligations and tasks."

"But I live to live, not to work. I don't want to be forced to interrupt my plans with my lover because of an important mission, and then rush to an unknown battlefield to fight a battle that I may never return from... Rather than regretting it later, I might as well refuse this responsibility that I can't bear from the beginning."

"Of course, I am not shirking my responsibilities, but for me, protecting the safety of Lianjiang is a job that allows me to contribute to society and make me feel happy at the same time."

“…”

"Yes, that's right. In my recommendation for the fourth-level space cultivator Dong Chengling, I wrote that she gave up joining the Great Wall because of 'insignificant personal feelings', and I strongly hoped that the Great Wall would recruit her..."

Yu Kuangtu was slightly startled, then turned around and mouthed to Bai Ji: Dong Chengling is in love too! ?

He really doesn't know!

Bai Ji looked at Yu Kuangtu speechlessly, thinking that when others fall in love, you fall in love, and when others fall in love, their cultivation level will be rapidly improved, but when you fall in love, not only does your cultivation level stagnate, but your IQ also decreases...

"Well, I don't think Dong Chengling should reject the Great Wall because of 'insignificant love'."

"Yes, you are right. I am also unwilling to join the Great Wall because of my personal feelings."

"Huh? You think what I said is weird? No."

Qiao Muyi's voice was full of laughter: "Her love is insignificant, but my love is related to the survival of the world!"

Double standard dog!

Bai Ji and Yu Kuangtu made the same comment in their minds at the same time.

Yu Kuangtu was almost unable to hold back the primordial power in his heart, wondering which unlucky guy was liked by Qiao Muyi. Now Qiao Muyi even rejected the Great Wall, this unlucky guy might never escape Qiao Muyi's clutches for the rest of his life...

In contrast, the lucky person who is loved by Dong Chengling is much happier. Dong Chengling doesn't even go to the Great Wall, so that lucky person will definitely live a happy life.

"When did they start dating? I'm really curious about who their boyfriends are..." Yu Kuangtu couldn't help but whisper.

Bai Ji glanced at him and thought that Yu Kuangtu was probably really stupid and naive. He couldn't guess that there were no "boyfriends", only "boyfriends".

"…Thank you for your understanding, I wish you a happy life, goodbye."

Qiao Muyi hung up the phone and said, "Are you two tired after standing outside for so long? Come in."

Yu Kuangtu and Bai Ji were slightly startled, and then they remembered that unless the cultivators deliberately blocked the cyclone fluctuations, they could sense each other's cyclones. Now that Bai Ji and Qiao Muyi had just been promoted to the fourth level, their cyclones were very strong and could be easily sensed by each other.

And Yu Kuangtu was still three turns away. To them, he was simply the brightest star in the night sky.

Qiao Muyi didn't seem to mind being eavesdropped on by them, and looked at them expressionlessly. Bai Ji asked directly, "Where's Ren Suo? Where's Dong Chengling?"

"..." Qiao Muyi stared at Bai Ji for several seconds and said, "It's just as you thought."

Bai Ji was stunned for a moment, then said after a moment of silence: "...You won't even tell me the location? At least let me send a gift."

Yu Kuangtu looked at the two of them blankly, not knowing what they were talking about.

Qiao Muyi chuckled, waved his hand and set up a sound-blocking barrier, then said slowly: "They went on an adventure."

Bai Ji: "Where are you going?"

"I can't tell you." Qiao Muyi said, "And even if I tell you, you can't help... If we can help, I will definitely let you be cannon fodder. But even I am sitting in the office waiting for news, so it's useless for you to be excited."

Bai Ji was silent for a long time, and sat down in a daze. Seeing this, Yu Kuangtu did not stay any longer, and hurried back to work to deal with official documents, trying to get more rest time to practice.

"You should know some inside information, right?" Bai Ji suddenly asked.

Qiao Muyi glanced at him and did not deny it.

"You are so calm now, which means you not only know the inside story, but you also believe that they can come back safely..." Bai Ji sighed: "In fact, I have guessed a little bit, but Ren Suo always manages to turn danger into safety..."

Bai Ji looked at his pale hands and said, "I thought that since I have been promoted to the fourth level, I should be qualified to stand beside him, see the same scenery as him, and share his pressure..."

Qiao Muyi gritted her teeth: "Are you mocking me?"

"No." Bai Ji stood up and said, "In that case, I won't disturb you from working. If you have any news, please let me know."

He sighed and said, "Don't worry, I won't compete with you for anything. I'm just worried about Ren Suo and Dong Chengling as a friend."

Qiao Muyi said "oh" and looked at Bai Ji with suspicion: "Have you given up?"

Bai Ji walked to the door, turned his head to look at Qiao Muyi, but his eyes seemed to be looking at someone in the void.

He showed a helpless smile: "Give up, he is my once in a lifetime opportunity, once in a lifetime opportunity, I can't keep him, once in a lifetime opportunity, I can't have him."

Hearing the voices of Bai Ji being surrounded by female strategists outside and asked for his WeChat, Qiao Muyi narrowed her eyes slightly, tilted her head to look at the door, and made a cute nasal sound through her nose.

"I don't believe you, you talk so passionately, you want to feed me candy? Humph!"

Qiao Muyi turned on the computer and created a new email on the intranet.

Sender: Lianjiang Countermeasures Bureau, Recipient: Countermeasures General Bureau. Title: "Recommendation Letter for Fourth-level Monk Bai Ji".
