“I’ll go!” Ruan Xianxian said firmly.
Zhao Li wiped his face: Fine, I'll go, but don't make it sound like I'm being insulted.
As they were talking, a laugh came from outside the door, "What did I say? What did I say? You can't stop her."
The door opened, and two people dressed in Taoist robes walked in. They weren't wearing the kind of ornate Taoist robes with embroidered auspicious clouds like Old Li's, but rather simple coarse linen clothes.
The woman had a blank expression and above-average looks. What was most striking about her was that you couldn't find a single fine line or pore on her face. You could easily mistake her for someone in their thirties or forties.
Men... how to describe men? At first glance, they seem refined and cultured, but upon closer inspection, they resemble a middle-aged male fox spirit. It's not that they are particularly handsome, but rather that they possess a certain charm in every smile and gesture.
Zhao Li pointed to the two people and introduced them to Ruan Xianxian: "Fu Santing from Longhu Mountain and Hao Yuan from Qinglian Temple."
I had heard that there was a Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain, and it turns out it's true.
"Senior Fu, Senior Hao." The moment the address was uttered, not only did Ruan Xianxian feel awkward, but the two people who heard it also felt awkward.
Fu San then said, "If you don't mind calling me Uncle Fu, then call her Sister Hao."
The woman remained expressionless, only glancing at him almost imperceptibly before taking a step forward. A slight smile played on her lips; it turned out that people who rarely smiled could look so beautiful when they did.
"I won't say thank you. Qinglian Temple may not have much else, but it has accumulated a lot of wealth over the generations. I've picked out some of the finest items, and I'll have Cai Cai carry them to the car for you later."
Don't look down on me for being a simple person.
No problem, no problem. Ruan Xianxian has a system shop, so she has no shortage of any treasures, except for money.
"I love money the most, thank you Master Hao."
"I should thank you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sigh came from the side.
"Qinglian Temple is indeed not lacking in gold, silver and worldly things, unlike our Longhu Mountain, which can only use some ancient artifacts and books from past dynasties to express our gratitude."
Ruan Xianxian: ...
This person speaks so confidently!
Zhao Li gestured for everyone to sit down first. "Originally, if you hadn't asked, these situations would have been handled by the authorities. But since you're getting involved, let me briefly explain it to you first."
"The last time we contacted Miyano and the others was before the Lunar New Year. They had already started evacuating, and we will send someone to pick them up by sea from Haishi."
Standing on island soil, they can't use large weapons to cover the area; once they're at sea, it's hard to say..."
Before he could finish speaking, Fu San interrupted, "It's not hard to say, but Jiuju will definitely deploy weapons of mass destruction to prevent 749 from returning home."
Zhao Li nodded in agreement, but looking into Ruan Xianxian's eyes, he still didn't want her to take the risk. If something were to happen to her, he'd rather die than let the student come back alive.
"Urban warfare is hard to say." Ruan Xianxian curled the corners of her mouth, her expression unrestrained and arrogant. "No matter how many people come at sea, I'll wipe them out."
"Such arrogance." Hao Yuan laughed, almost a sneer, and said, "But I like it. A young man who isn't a little wild is a wasted youth."
I'll go out to sea with you this time.
How many come from the sea? We'll destroy them all.
Has she ever witnessed the power of aircraft carrier battle group bombers?
Zhao Li didn't understand. In their era, let alone ordinary people, even princes and nobles rarely produced such arrogant individuals, but he respected them.
Just then, another sigh came from the side, "The abbot of Qinglian Temple has personally intervened; what a pity for my nephews and disciples in the temple..."
Unlike our Longhu Mountain family, which is large and prosperous, one more or one less of me wouldn't make a difference, so they went along too.
Ruan Xianxian could see the throbbing veins on Zhao Li's forehead.
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept past from the side. Hao Yuan, who had endured enough, threw a punch. Even though Fu Santing dodged quickly, he still got a bruise near his eye.
She and Zhao Li simultaneously exhaled a breath of stale air. Serves them right!
Routes, sea vehicles, and firearms all need to be discussed with the military.
All that's left is personnel.
Zhao Li briefly explained, "Don't worry about the big shots the 749 Bureau is using; it's just the younger guys. They still have some time before they set off."
My suggestion is that you subdue them with force; it will make future communication easier.
Ruan Xianxian thought it was a good suggestion and said:
"The suggestion is good, but I need to gather my friends and go to Haishi early to make preparations. Can you arrange a helicopter for me, Mr. Zhao?"
Zhao Li: ? ? ?
Do you want a life that's over a hundred years old?
In the end, they didn't get to take the helicopter, but received an instruction to sit anywhere on the passenger plane.
Nowadays, you can't just build any aircraft; you need to meet certain standards.
Stepping out of the conference room, the doors to the three rooms of Tiandi, Huang, and San were still closed, while the door to the room with the character "Xuan" was wide open.
A group of people, including several in work clothes, several in white coats, and even an old man wrapped in a tattered cotton-padded coat, sat around a table, whispering among themselves.
When Ruan Xianxian appeared outside the door, the dozen or so people all fell silent in unison.
Ruan Xianxian walked past without looking to the side.
As soon as she left, Jin Xin sighed in regret as he watched her retreating figure, "Her, such a pretty woman, has met the wrong man. She won't live much longer."
A woman's voice whispered, "How pitiful, should we help her?"
Jin Xin slammed his fist on the table in anger, “Who among you dares to help that madman Gong Ye kill the person he wants to kill?”
Ruan Xianxian: ...
Since entering this occult asylum, her mental state has become somewhat out of step with the times.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Earlier, Fu San and Hao Yuan were exchanging words, but it was most likely that Fu San had heard that Hao Yuan had made a move…
Ruan Xianxian suddenly stopped and turned around without warning, then rushed into the Xuanzi room.
As she stepped through the door, she felt a resistance, but she ignored it.
A quick glance revealed that the long table was filled with more than ten people. Jin Xin sat in the center opposite her. She sneered and jumped up, landing steadily on the long table.
To everyone's astonishment, he grabbed Jin Xin by the collar.
The wicked little hand not only reached into the other person's pocket and stole their one cent from the divination money, but also took an extra cent when it withdrew.
She smiled gently and pulled him back to his original spot, saying, "You calculated it very well, but don't do it again next time!"
Even after the person left with an indifferent gait, the house remained deathly silent.
Someone stammered, "Jinzi, didn't they say there was some kind of talisman posted at the door, so that even if you danced on the edge of her morality, no one could get in?"
Jin Xin looked at the talisman that had fallen to the ground and burned to ashes, and smiled without saying a word.
Walking down those steps that seemed to go up but were actually going down again, Ruan Xianxian felt dizzy and nauseous.
Hao Yuan said, "The sense of space is so strong that you can walk around by feeling with your eyes closed."
Ruan Xianxian closed her eyes to clear her mind of distractions—or rather, to mentally remind herself that she was climbing stairs. Sure enough, the sense of spatial disorientation disappeared, and she easily returned to the ground.
Grandma was doing research somewhere, and Ruan Xianxian left Bureau 749 through a secret passage without saying goodbye.
She booked a flight for that evening to Jilin Province, and then went directly to Hai City.
Fan Caicai was waiting not far away in her company jeep. Ruan Xianxian opened the car door and her eyes widened in disbelief...
The crates were huge wooden crates that could fill an entire off-road vehicle!
