An Heyu's first thought was how is this possible.

He is S-level and the other party is A-level. Why would he ignore such a life energy in his field?

But the fact is, just when he thought Haig was caught with the bait, he showed up at his home.

It was like a slap in the face.

"Add more sugar." Haig said slowly.

An Heyu was immersed in shock. When he came to his senses, the milk tea had already been prepared and served.

'This is my home, I am the noble, right?!' This thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

A nobleman serving tea and water to a commoner?

How would he save his noble family if he told others about it?

However, the black-haired man sitting opposite slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip leisurely, and finally praised: "Good craftsmanship."

"Of course." An Heyu said subconsciously.

After he finished speaking, he wanted to find a time machine to travel back in time, but unfortunately his ability did not allow him to do so.

Outside the window, frost spreads to the treetops, and the flames in the fireplace on the inside of the French window flicker, illuminating the room with warm orange light. Two cups of milk tea emit hot steam, and the scene in front of my eyes is a layer of mist in the white mist.

An Heyu felt that his head was now a mess. True and false, his own speculations, the other party's purpose, all these considerations piled up together in an instant, making his brain crowded.

How true is his guess? Is Heiger really the bounty hunter named Li Baige?

Why is he here? Is the one fighting Yue Qing a phantom?

as well as

Is he really A-level?

When the man opposite him put down his teacup, he asked the question that concerned him most in a somewhat stiff voice: "What is your purpose?"

"Is it just a joke, or..." He straightened his back and sat up straight, returning to his usual aristocratic demeanor, "Do you want to take revenge on this empire?"

It was a very pointed question. If they were real remnants of the former supernatural guild, they would probably take the bait and answer with the word "revenge". Then they would follow his lead and listen to him elaborate on the favorable conditions he offered, then they would hesitate or decisively choose to cooperate or not.

An Heyu doesn't think that Haig is only concerned about the fun as he appears to be. An Heyu is concerned about the results.

As a result, Qing Yuchen, the former member of the Superpower Guild who later betrayed the Guild and became a pawn of the nobles, died.

As a result, Yue Qing was targeted by Haig and was almost killed last time.

Haig's purpose is definitely more than just fun.

But the person he was asking the question to didn't want to follow his lead.

Hegge held up his cheek, and the silver-white mask seemed to be coated with a layer of gold under the warm light.

"Me? Revenge?" He first asked in an ambiguous tone, and then said, "It is you who wants revenge, right, Mr. Noble?"

An Heyu's pupils suddenly dilated.

The man who was speaking stood up from his seat, his boots making a clacking sound on the marble tiles. The hand wearing a fingerless black glove gently stroked the back of An Heyu's chair, and his voice came from behind.

"All of your blood relatives died overnight. You, the only one who survived, left the floating city with your younger brother and came to Sitong, a city that is not considered a central city." The voice was neither hurried nor slow, accompanied by the sound of the index finger tapping on the back of the chair, with a wonderful rhythm.

Behind An Heyu, Heg suddenly lowered his head and whispered in his ear: "Who are you hiding from?"

Before he finished speaking, An Heyu leaned forward involuntarily, as if trying to avoid it.

But he reacted quickly and learned all this from his naive younger brother.

Yes, he was hiding, hiding from the person who caused him and his brother to lose their family.

But now was not the time for him to reflect on his motives.

He suppressed his subconscious reaction and slowly said the information he had detected in these two sentences: "You are Li Baige."

"I am," Haig admitted quickly, or perhaps he had no intention of hiding it at all.

Identity information cannot pose a threat to him. An Heyu realized this.

This illusionist can discard his own identity at any time and transform into another person. The city of Sitong is thousands of miles in radius, with tens of thousands of people in the city, and there are countless bounty hunters without identities.

It's too easy to replace someone at random.

In this way, he became the one who was controlled. He could not tell the news because the person closest to Li Baige was An Huyu!

He wanted to make excuses for his concealment and hints, but Heiger didn't have to do anything. In the end, the only one who would be considered to have colluded with the former supernatural guild would be himself and An Huyu!

Haig's ability to leave his field is something An Heyu has confirmed.

As long as he concealed his life energy as he had come, he would not be able to detect him, even in his own realm.

An Heyu thought he was the initiator and that Haig was the one begging him to do something. He was a noble, had sources of information that Haig didn't know about, and had a good face that led to the center of the empire.

He is an S-rank, a high-ranking one, and should have suppressed this A-rank civilian in all aspects.

But at this moment the identities were suddenly reversed.

He became passive. He needed Haig to do something, but the opponent's weaknesses were not exposed at all!

An Heyu couldn't even use the excuse that he was setting a trap to catch Heige and temporarily turned against him, and gave up his previous plan to continue being a senior executive of his supernatural guild.

Because he couldn't catch him at all!

"Don't be nervous."

Although he had come to the nobles' territory alone, Heige gave a symbolic word of comfort.

The golden light spots in the area were shaking, and An Heyu also realized his own loss of composure.

A plan that failed was just a plan that failed, he told himself.

He needs to stay calm and look for a chance to turn the situation around.

It's just that the person he was facing didn't want to give him a chance to think calmly.

"I like people who speak straightforwardly." Haig said with a smile, "Of course, don't let me make a wasted trip."

The voice seemed to be right beside my ear: "Mr. Noble, do you have anything else to say?"

An Heyu wanted to speak, but the words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them immediately.

He is hesitating.

If he revealed everything now, he would only be in a passive position and be used by Haig.

This was not the result he wanted.

But he had no way to do anything. Haig could disappear from his territory at any time, so even if he did, it would be futile.

And Haig was still urging him, with a hint of temptation in his tone: "You went to so much trouble to talk to me, just to let me taste a cup of milk tea?"

Of course not. An Heyu knew.

He was burdened with betrayal from within the empire, and his clan, the Ans, were an abandoned clan.

While those people spoke words of regret behind false masks, he clenched his fists, letting his nails dig deep into his flesh.

Weren't those vain and sad nobles the ones who killed their people?

"This is your only chance to turn the tables. There are no companions of yours among the nobles who are united with the Empire. Now the choice is yours."

The sound was neither fast nor slow, like a black hole gradually approaching him.

It was like the whisper of a devil coming from the depths of the abyss. He was not persuading but tempting.

Lure him into the abyss.

"Take a chance and pay back all the blood and tears you've shed. Or just continue to act as if nothing happened and hide in this marginal city in frustration."

Lure the chess piece to its own position and into his palm.

"You already knew it." When the words came out, An Heyu realized the stiffness and trembling in his throat, "Li Baige, this identity is just to get close to me, right?"

Heigl chuckled behind him, his body seemed to tightly envelope the former noble young master who was sitting in the chair, unable to escape.

He is setting a trap for me. He is targeting me. An Heyu thought.

He spun a spider web that easily engulfed him.

"If you want to know about that person, you can only go through the nobles in the floating city, the center of this empire. So you have been eyeing me for a long time." An Heyu became more and more shocked as he spoke, "That day was not a coincidence at all. You deliberately approached Hu Yu."

"No, maybe even earlier." He murmured, "I am the only one who can talk to the dead and is related to the Yue family. I am the only one invited by Yue Qing to investigate the cause of Yue Lan's death!"

"Qing Yuchen investigated 'Li' through Le Shan, but did not tell the nobles. You should have expected this."

"As long as I have selfish motives, as long as I try to conceal key information, I have already fallen into your trap."

At the end, his face turned pale: "I thought I found you first, but actually..."

He laughed bitterly.

In fact, the prey is himself!

At some point, Haig had returned to his seat, tilting his head and looking at him with a slightly interested face.

It's like watching a bird in a cage. No matter how hard it hits the cage, it will only get hurt in the end and won't be able to escape.

"My target is the three noble families. I want them to pay for their blood debt." He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "They are also the culprits of the former Superpower Guild's defeat. We can cooperate. Heiger and Anshi did not participate in the affairs of the former Superpower Guild. We stand on the same side."

"Hu Yu doesn't need to know this. I'm S-rank, and my supernatural powers can do a lot of things. I can interrogate the undead, or let the undead serve you. I can do it."

"Are you begging me?" Haig said.

"Yes, I'm begging you." An Heyu pursed her lips.

A long silence came.

Hegge looked at him. Under the orange light, there was no warmth in his red pupils.

And when An Heyu felt suffocated, he spoke.

"Noble sir, it's a rational choice," said Haig.

An Heyu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't know whether his choice was right or not, he only knew that he had made a big gamble.

"Give me all the news about Le Shan before tomorrow." Heger stood up slowly and snapped his fingers.

A piece of paper with a string of numbers written on it appeared on the coffee table.

It's like magic.

He walked towards the wide-open floor-to-ceiling window, the wind blew up his windbreaker, and frost covered everything outside the window.

"By the way, remember to make me some milk tea before we meet next time." He suddenly turned around and said before leaving.

A gust of cold wind blew into the room, dispersing the warmth. An Heyu narrowed his eyes subconsciously.

And when he could see clearly again, the mysterious illusionist had disappeared from his realm again.

"when"

There was a dull sound from the clock, and An Heyu looked over.

It's midnight.

...

[Opening the channel for you...Welcome back to reality.]

After returning to reality, Li Li's first reaction was to take a deep breath, and then continue to take deep breaths.

She stood up and walked quickly to the counter, then scooped up a handful of cool water and splashed it on her face.

"The realm of the S-class..." Then she stared at the mirror in front of the dormitory counter and slowly exhaled, "This is too cheating!"

She felt like she was being watched the entire time, as if a pair of eyes were glued to her all the time. Everything in the domain could be watched by the domain's owner, but there were also some who couldn't do this, but An Heyu's ability was clearly able to sense the life of creatures in the domain.

It was even scarier to think that she might be in the same realm as a ghost!

"Fortunately, An Heyu has the same unique way of thinking as his brother." She sighed, and she didn't even need to patch herself up.

The question is asked on purpose. I am fishing, fishing for An Heyu.

Absolutely.

The roommate on the bed had already started to sleep soundly, but Li Li was still thinking about what to do next.

"Qing Yuchen told Le Shan the name 'Li', and it's still the main plot after all the twists and turns." She didn't think it was a bad idea, but she would postpone it a little, at least waiting for An Heyu to give her news.

Li Li tapped the table with her hand, then glanced at the time.

The two brothers An Heyu and An Huyu are at two completely different extremes.

An Huyu is much more outgoing. He treats impossible plans as treasures and never thinks that he will lose.

On the other hand, An Heyu was hesitant. Even though he had some guesses, he first sent out a signal of goodwill but did not decisively invite Li Baige.

She has been stalking An Heyu for three days, and today seems to be the day when the comics are updated.

However, Li Li doesn't think this update has anything to do with her. Neither she nor the cartoonist will remove her vest in the comics too quickly.

If she doesn't appear, there's no need to rush to watch it.

After reviewing the current situation, she packed up and went to bed. It was not until the next day that she learned from her roommate what updates had been made to the comics.

After class, my roommate opened the door at noon and shouted, "Fuck! Lily! The little corgi is going to be dissected!"

Li Li, who was organizing her class notes, turned her head and slowly typed a question mark.

Li Li: ...?

While she was trying so hard to fool people, why was the little Corgi also being fooled?

Brother Yiming, how come you are so depressed after not seeing you for a few days?

The author has something to say:

I will definitely finish 6,000 words before midnight on Thursday, absolutely!

It's considered a supplement, not an extra chapter, I still owe 12 chapters QAQ

There is no bug. In the previous chapter, Li Li and her roommate were walking on the road, but Li Li had been squatting on An Heyu for three days, which means there were three days between today and the day of the haunted house.
