Chapter 328: Inexplicable Invasion
While Lianyi was recuperating in the Li Mansion, the Wu family guards and Wen Lu also rushed to the capital. It was Xiao Hui who found the old house of Li Mansion by following the trail. Wen Lu and Wu Meng immediately came over with Minmin and climbed into the yard. The three of them wandered outside Fanghua Garden for a long time but could not find a way in.
Finally, Lianyi came out of her meditation and discovered the three people. Only after the formation was removed did they see Lianyi.
"Miss, why do you look so ugly?"
When Minmin saw Lianyi, her expression changed immediately.
"I just got a minor injury, but I'm almost healed now."
Ripple said nonchalantly.
"Miss, after we entered the capital, we heard that Emperor Hui sought immortality by inviting a demon into the palace, which injured the golden dragon that protects the country and resulted in him being punished by heaven."
Wen Lu felt that her young lady must have been responsible for this.
"That's true. The new emperor should have ascended the throne by now. You guys pack up and we'll return to Jiangnan."
"Yes, Miss!"
Seeing that their young lady didn't want to say more, Wen Lu and Wu Meng didn't ask too many questions.
Afterwards, Lianyi and his party returned to their farm in Jiangnan in a low profile. On the way, Lianyi specially went to see Haina and returned the relic bracelet.
"Amitabha!"
Haina looked at Lianyi, whose face looked slightly pale, and sighed in his heart. After all, he was relying on someone else's power, so he separated a relic from the bracelet and gave it directly to Lianyi.
"This time, I borrowed the help of Fairy Lu Yao to protect the temple from being invaded, but the fairy was seriously injured. I am ashamed. Please carry this relic with you. It can help the fairy recover as soon as possible."
"Okay, I won't be polite then."
Lianyi accepted the relic with a smile, and when she left, Yunhai Temple returned to the public eye. Villagers from nearby also began to come to Yunhai Temple to burn incense, and gradually the Yunhai Temple became more popular.
After Lianyi returned to her farm in the south of the Yangtze River, she spent her days in leisure and recuperation. However, because of her return, those who had been hiding in the dark and coveting her huge fortune began to stir again.
But before they could complete their plans, Zhuangzi seemed to have evaporated overnight, completely disappearing from everyone's sight.
Lianyi didn't want to be forced to get married, so after settling everything, she created a scene of enlightenment for the Wu family and successfully returned to the Space-Time Administration.
When Lianyi appeared again in the room where she first met Shijiu, she saw another old acquaintance besides Shijiu, a middle-aged man with a resolute face whom she had met once.
"Tasker Lianyi, this is Director Cen from our mission department."
Lian Yi nodded, and then spoke:
"Have the deviations in the mission been investigated?"
"It was because a bug appeared in the mission system, causing the mission information to be tampered with."
Shijiu said immediately.
"Is it just my mission that was tampered with, or are there others who have encountered the same thing as me?"
Ripple continued to ask.
"Among the people I'm responsible for, you're the only one who has encountered this situation."
Shijiu answered truthfully and then looked at Director Cen.
"Other taskers have encountered the same situation. Some, like you, insisted on completing the mission, while others failed. However, these taskers are the ones with more potential and strength in the Spacetime Administration. They are the ones most likely to be promoted to senior taskers."
"Oh, it seems that this is not an accidental incident, but a targeted suppression plan."
Lianyi's eyes narrowed dangerously, and then she spoke affirmatively.
"Yes, so the Administration has included it in the key investigation. You have completed the task perfectly this time, and the Bureau has decided to reward you. You can take two things away from the previous plane."
Director Cen said with a smile.
"I want the relic that Haina gave me, and the evil dagger."
Ripple said simply.
"The relic can be integrated into your soul and help your soul not to be harmed. As for the evil weapon, what do you want it for?"
Before Director Cen opened his mouth, Shijiu asked first.
"Existence is reasonable! Besides, the evil weapon is just a weapon. There is no good or bad. It depends on how its holder uses it."
Lianyi gently stroked the cloud pattern on her sleeve and spoke lightly.
"Are you sure you want these two?"
"Sure."
"Okay, the stuff will be delivered to you later. You have seven days to rest this time."
Director Cen made the final decision.
Lian Yi nodded, and before leaving, she looked at the mortar, smiled and said:
"I hope the next mission won't be too thrilling. After all, I'm just an intermediate beginner."
After hearing this, Shijiu smiled awkwardly, watched Lianyi leave, then patted his cheek and turned to ask:
"Director Cen, is it okay for me to give her the evil weapon?"
"It's okay. The evil spirit has been eliminated, and the evil weapon's spirit has been beaten back to its original form. It can't cause any more trouble. It's okay to give it to her. On the contrary, since she has the relic, she won't be affected or used by the evil weapon."
"Director Cen, how many people successfully completed the mission this time?"
The stone mortar is just pure curiosity.
"Including your tasker, there are only three people in total. Eight of them failed in their tasks, and their souls disappeared."
Director Cen did not hide anything, but replied with a serious expression.
"You mean the tasker disappeared?"
"yes!"
"The communicator can't reach them either?"
"Um."
“Then this.”
"I came here specially this time, firstly to see the situation of this tasker, and secondly to tell you to pay more attention to this tasker in the future. Since she is on the opponent's assassination list, she must have her own strengths. The successful completion of this mission is the best proof.
If the plot fails this time, there will definitely be a next time, so you must protect her and help her become a high-level tasker."
Director Cen gave the order directly.
"Yes, Communicator Shijiu guarantees to complete the task."
Lianyi had no idea about the conversation between the two.
At this time, she returned to her own space, in which the relic was suspended, and there was a complete dagger. The blade was flashing a black light, and the handle was inlaid with a fingernail-sized bead that she had forced out of the body of the Bliss Envoy. At this time, the bead had turned transparent.
Lianyi put the dagger into her personal space with satisfaction, and then began to control the relic to slowly merge with her soul, so that she would not be harmed by evil spirits in any interface she entered.
Lianyi successfully entered a body again. When she opened her eyes, she found that her body was sinking into the water. She did not float to the surface immediately. Instead, she held her breath, controlled her body to avoid the undercurrent in the water, and then swam upstream for a distance before floating to the surface.
Lianyi took a deep breath, then climbed up the shore by grabbing the rocks and looked around. It was already late autumn, and the place where she landed was very close to the foot of the mountain. She looked around and didn't see anyone. She looked at the army green jacket, pants of the same color, and black cloth shoes on her body.
"Tasker, you'd better rush to the place where you fell into the water as soon as possible, otherwise your original reputation will be damaged, which will affect the completion of your subsequent tasks."
