Chapter 4040 Tavern A beam of spiritual energy penetrated the car window's defenses...

The first year of the spiritual recovery, April 20, 12:12, "Xianzhilin" restaurant, second floor private room.

Du Yihe did not move. He smiled bitterly and said, "It's like this, Senior Ning. We were planning to have a class reunion here today, but we didn't expect there would be so many people on the weekend..."

Ning Changkong was also stunned: "Ah, I thought you were just here for dinner. If it's a gathering with friends, it really doesn't seem right for Bai Xian and I to be here."

"It's a great honor to meet you here." Du Yihe said with a smile, "But we still have to take our leave first..."

"Actually," Yue Jingting suddenly interrupted him, "There are so many people here, and many of them share the same idea as us. The restaurants nearby will be packed with people. Why don't we just stay here for a while?"

Ning Changkong agreed: "After all, Bluebird just gave this restaurant a five-star review, and there was a long queue immediately."

As for that five-star review, of course it was written by him.

"Is that so... Wait, what? Bluebird?" Du Yihe was shocked, then looked at Yue Jingting who was not surprised at all, "You knew? Then why didn't you tell me?"

Yue Jingting said calmly: "You didn't ask either."

Before his exchange roommate went berserk, he thought for a moment and added, "It was sent yesterday. I thought you had ordered it in advance."

"I have to work overtime so hard in other departments. How can I have time to check social media every day?"

It was as if he was going to watch a class reunion in a daze. Under Bai Xian's death gaze, Ning Changkong lowered his head and drank a sip of the medicinal tea in the thermos, and his eyes could not help but stick to Yue Jingting.

He asked in his mind: "Is Yan Yian having a class reunion today?"

"Yes, Zhang Xuan came to the company to pick me up." Chu Qingge replied immediately, "How did you know?"

"I met you at the Fairy Forest while having dinner. Have you seen the modern look of Yuejing Pavilion?"

"No, I turned my view around... What is this? A low ponytail and a red and black plaid shirt?"

"It's too hard to tie." Ning Changkong commented. In order to suppress the corners of his mouth, he lowered his head and took another sip of tea, smacking his lips because of the bitterness.

After arguing with Yue Jingting for a few words, Du Yihe bowed again helplessly: "I'm so sorry, then we will respectfully obey your order, Senior Ning."

Although there are few opportunities for a few busy people to get together, there will always be a chance to talk again in the future. Moreover, Du Yihe swallowed his saliva. The food in this restaurant is really delicious. It would be a pity to miss it.

"It's okay, it's okay. I was just worried that it would affect your nostalgia." Ning Changkong waved his hand and handed the menu over: "We have already ordered, you can order more dishes if you like."

Although it was the first time for Du Yihe to see Ning Changkong without a mask, he often visited Jinwu Garden and was familiar with the two bird demons, so they naturally started chatting.

Yue Jingting was flipping through the menu, but his eyes unconsciously drifted towards Ning Changkong.

Mingqi-kun did not wear a mask in Penglai. His handsome appearance was known to everyone. However, he was ruthless in his actions and never smiled in front of others. Even Zhang Xuan, who had worked with him for a long time, could only describe his personality as gentle and humble, and he mostly showed respect.

At this moment, he had a smile on his face, which showed that he was too active, and there was no trace of the decisive, calm and self-controlled look he had when he was working.

Moreover, he always felt that this face was... strangely familiar.

Soon, Yan Yian and the other three girls also pushed the door open and came in. Du Yihe must have reminded them in advance, because the three of them seemed much calmer when they pushed the door open and came in.

Du Yihe, Zuo Langning and Ning Changkong had fought together, Zhang Xuan was a colleague of Yulingsi, and Yan Yian had some relationship with Qingniao. The atmosphere at the table was quite lively, with one topic after another.

Bai Xian has a good impression of Du Yi and the younger human who taught him how to use a cell phone, and he also likes Yue Jingting...even if it's a normal class reunion, he just eats his meal in silence.

Ning Changkong listened to the gossip with great interest. It turned out that when studying at Longyuan Academy, Yue Jingting and Du Yihe were roommates, and Zhang Xuan and Yan Yian were classmates.

Yue Jingting and Yan Yian...they had a relationship because after they had discussed talismans and formations, Yue Jingting kept chasing her and asking her to come to Lingzhuan Academy, which was a forced fate.

...Oh my god, he is so stubborn even at such a young age.

"I was annoyed when I saw Yue Jingting," Zhang Xuan said with great excitement. "One time I couldn't stand him making such noises and decided to beat him up."

"Before he could make a move, a sword came flying over and cut off a strand of his hair."

"It's our Lang Ning." Yan Yian smiled and hooked his arms around Zuo Lang Ning's neck.

Ning Changkong finally understood where Yue Jingting's experience of persistently harassing him on the Tianwang forum came from. It seemed that he had already practiced with Yan Yian.

After I stop working in the prison, I can still be a headhunter for Lingzhuan Academy, which is pretty good.

They then talked about the current situation of Longyuan Academy. Zuo Langning let Yan Yian hang on her and said calmly: "I heard that the academy is going to choose a fantasy world for the final exam this time, and let the students form teams to pass it."

"Why are you making such a big deal?" Zhang Xuan asked in surprise, "Is it because something happened to the Shanhe Shejitu last year?"

When this matter was mentioned, the atmosphere at the table became somewhat depressing. The person who was indirectly mentioned, Ning Changkong, was lost in thought while biting his chopsticks.

It’s over, the protagonists are going to be in trouble again.

How can I find an excuse to sneak in and watch? The Foreign Affairs Bureau can't possibly ask Feng Huang to take a shift at Longyuan Academy...

Du Yihe coughed dryly and talked about the adventures they had experienced in the Shanhe Shejitu. For example, when they were solving puzzles in Youhuang Village during the midterm exam, Yan Yian and Yue Jingting had an argument over the solution of the talisman, which led to the subsequent story.

Yan Yian couldn't help but pay attention to Ning Changkong's every move. Chu Qingge has been acting a little abnormal recently, she thought. Maybe the Phoenix, who is also a divine bird and knows each other, has some news.

She observed quietly for a long time, and the first thing she noticed was that Ning Changkong deliberately slowed down his eating speed. He could chew a piece of sweet and sour pork tenderloin slowly for a long time.

Do bird demons eat little? Yan Yian thought, Chu Qingge has always eaten very little. But looking at the white-haired bird demon next to him, it doesn't seem like that. Or is this a characteristic of the divine bird?

"I heard," she suddenly said, "Mingqi-kun likes desserts?" This was Zhang Xuan's intelligence.

Ning Changkong pretended not to notice Bai Xian's vague gaze: "I guess I like her."

"Teacher Chu also likes desserts and buys some every day after get off work." Yan Yian tried to change the subject to Chu Qingge.

Ning Changkong smiled and said, "Maybe Miss Chu and I have similar interests in this regard."

Miss Chu, a very common title. Yan Yian chewed.

Du Yi and Shun talked about Chu Qingge's successful career as an internet celebrity and the various popular science videos she recorded about the demon race and Tiangong technology. Bai Xian listened with great interest.

While Bai Xian's attention was diverted, Ning Changkong quietly reached out his chopsticks for the plate of garlic pork that he had been coveting for a long time.

With a snap, Bai Xian knocked his chopsticks away. The conversation at the table stopped.

"You'll need to take medicine when you go back. You can't eat this." Bai Xian said half-persuading and half-warning.

Ning Changkong slowly took back his chopsticks: "I know..."

Bai Xian hummed softly without commenting.

Zuo Langning couldn't help but ask, "What medicine?"

The eyes of everyone else in the box were focused on Ning Changkong's face.

"It's nothing, just to replenish qi and blood." Ning Changkong said vaguely, slowly drank two more sips of soup, and then put down his chopsticks as if he was full.

He ate too little, even less than Chu Qingge. Yan Yian's eyes narrowed. He deliberately slowed down just to eat now?

Zuo Langning's heart sank: "Are you still not well?"

Did the blood draw have such a big impact on Phoenix? Or was it just too much of a drain?

"I'm almost well now. But the tribesmen are worried and keep asking me to take tonic medicine." Ning Changkong said lightly, trying to put aside the doubt.

The few of them chatted for a while. Chu Qingge suddenly sent a message: "Have you finished eating?"

Ning Changkong replied: "I'm done eating, what's up?"

"There is a meeting hosted by the Foreign Affairs Bureau this afternoon, and all three of us have to attend. Now Jiang Yunxiao and I are going to go pick up Yi'an."

Yan Yian, who was looking at her phone just now, also looked up and said apologetically that she had plans in the afternoon and someone would come to pick her up soon.

After going downstairs and paying the bill, Ning Changkong was not in a hurry to leave. He planned to see Yan Yian before getting in the car and leaving. It was better to be cautious.

At this moment, something strange happened.

The first year of the spiritual recovery, April 20, 13:21, "Xianzhilin" restaurant and parking lot.

Zuo Langning accompanied Yan Yian to the front of the car. The driver and bodyguards sat in the front seat of the car, and the back seat was quite spacious, so the three of them would not feel crowded.

Chu Qingge sat in the middle of the back row. He seemed to be closing his eyes and resting, but in fact he was spreading his mental power and using the nearby cameras to observe and guard.

I didn't sense any murderous aura. Nothing unusual within 50 meters... Nothing unusual within 100 meters... Nothing unusual within 200 meters...

The moment Yan Yian closed the car door and was about to greet them with a smile, Chu Qingge suddenly closed his eyes and pulled Jiang Yunxiao towards him.

A beam of spiritual energy penetrated the bulletproof glass of the car window, narrowly avoiding Jiang Yunxiao's heart. After being weakened by the protective shield opened by Chu Qingge, it finally pierced his lungs with a strong evil spirit.

Even though there is no physiological structure like hormones, Chu Qingge still feels the qi and blood surge up.

Du Yihe knocked on the car window with a pale face. Zuo Langning had already followed the spiritual power trace to track the murderer, and the driver was nervously asking whether they should go to the hospital.

Yan Yian's tears fell on her shoulder.

Chu Qingge knew that lung penetration was not the most fatal.

Human-shemale hybrids are rare, mainly because it is difficult for them to survive.

The body is like a battlefield where two forces wrestle with each other. Once the fragile balance is destroyed, it will collapse.

Evil energy, the evil energy that destroys the balance of spiritual power, will take Jiang Yunxiao's life.
