Fu Guang was stunned and did not answer for a moment.
Hua Changle said, "You have six hours to consider. I want to hear your answer before midnight tonight."
After saying that, she had Iris push her out.
He took a few steps and then stopped: "By the way, don't worry about the little thing inside you, I won't make things difficult for you."
Hua Changle smiled softly and left.
Fu Guang, however, was pale and looked conflicted, nervous, and frustrated.
The Little Things Inside Your Body
"Won't Make Things Difficult"
Fu Guang regretted not being more suspicious at the supermarket; now he'd been scammed.
Having witnessed the wickedness of human nature in the Azure Lab and the Blood Arena, he refused to believe that the little thing was truly harmless. It was definitely something that could crush him!
When Hua Changle was almost at the private room, Zhao Qi and his two companions received the news and went in first.
After the meal, everyone said goodbye at the door.
At this moment, Qiu Zheng stepped forward and said a few polite words, roughly meaning that she was looking forward to Miss Hua's guidance tomorrow.
Afterwards, Zhao Qi, accompanied by Fu Guang, personally escorted Hua Chang Le's car back to the bureau. Jiang Ya from the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau also went back with them.
Vulture and Dog Three left on their own.
The remaining seven young people looked at each other, and the atmosphere gradually became awkward.
Zhang Wanwan took the initiative and targeted her nemesis Qiu Zheng: "Heh, as expected of Young Master Qiu, those from the countryside know how to behave. Their bowing and scraping are so perfect."
She was referring to the things Qiu Zheng said to Hua Changle.
Zhang Wanwan inherited Ying Ye's features, possessing a sharp and heroic appearance. When she speaks, she unconsciously carries an air of arrogance.
Qiu Zheng smiled faintly: "I was just being polite. I can't be like some people who can't stand up, can't speak, and can't apologize. They don't even understand the most basic manners, can they?"
Standing next to Zhang Wanwan, Zhang Bi was shot three times in a row and became furious: "Damn it, who are you calling Qiu?"
Han Shuang of Changfeng Pavilion and Wei Nuan of Tianji Tower couldn't stand Zhang Bi's foolishness and sneered.
Qiu Zheng looked completely innocent: "Why is Young Master Zhang angry? Did he do something inappropriate?"
Zhang Bi couldn't stand his kind of...green tea, yes, green tea type!
Before he could speak, Zhang Wanwan couldn't stand the sight of him stupidly offering his face to be slapped, and slapped Zhang Bi across the face:
"Idiot, shut up!"
Zhang Bi's eyes widened, and he slapped Zhang Wanwan again with his backhand: "Damn it, you dare to hit me! You little bitch, who do you think you are? A woman like you dares to ride on my head?"
The two immediately turned on each other, but the other six seemed unsurprised.
Many people know that Zhang Ying favored sons over daughters. Although Zhang Wanwan was his biological daughter, she was not as valued as her nephew Zhang Ying, and the relationship between the two was always extremely strained.
It was Jia Xu, dressed in gold and silver, who stepped forward to smooth things over: "Gentlemen, gentlemen, what are you doing? Everyone is watching!"
Young Master Zhang, Miss Zhang, listen to me! If you two get into a fight today and it ruins tomorrow's plans, it will be a huge loss!
Zhang Wanwan and Zhang Bi quickly calmed down, but Zhang Bi was still angry. Hearing Jia Xu's words and remembering how Hua Changle had beaten him, he sneered:
"What's the big deal? She's just a little girl, just saying a few polite words! She's sickly and can't even stand up straight, what kind of guidance can she give? Bah!"
He was so angry that he said those words that even Jia Xu didn't respond.
Qiu Zheng retorted sharply: "Heh, someone who didn't even get into a regional professional college is mocking members of the Hunter of the Strange. Young Master Zhang is really something, tsk, quite the character."
Zhang Bi knew he had spoken out of turn, but he couldn't bring himself to say anything more.
It's important to know that academies of Kyushu's caliber have extremely strict admission requirements.
One rule regarding the cultivation level of those with supernatural abilities is that they must break through to the fourth rank before the age of eighteen.
The fact that Hua Changle was able to go to Beixun Whale Island with the Hunter of the Strange Team to carry out a mission further proves that she is at least at the fifth level.
Although they were seven or eight years apart in age, their abilities were roughly equal. This guidance was not merely a formality.
Zhang Wanwan felt utterly humiliated and turned to leave. Zhang Bi pretended to be tough but actually slunk after her.
Jia Xu then took his leave with a smile.
When Qiu Zheng arrived, she bid farewell to Han Shuang of Changfeng Pavilion. Wei Nuan smiled amicably at the two of them and then left as well.
The two exchanged a glance, already realizing that Tianji Tower's attitude towards the Hua family was ambiguous.
...
Hua Changle returned to the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau and began cultivating in his room. He practiced controlling the appearance, disappearance, and transformation of various abilities, including [Inhalation and Spitting], [Ten Thousand Thunder Technique], [Water Droplet], [Ice Moon], [Netherworld], and [Psychic Ability], as well as his two companion creatures, vines and tentacles.
Later that evening, Wei Liang, Gou Ye, and Tao Zi's detailed information was sent over.
Iris integrated the information from the three people.
"Today, Mule contacted Guo, the owner of Qizhen Shop under Jin Xiangyin's name, and got in touch with a ship that will depart around 6:00 pm tomorrow - the 025 Coral."
The ship was nominally carrying a shipment of jade, calligraphy, paintings, and other artworks to the southern peninsula, but according to reports from personnel planted on board by the Tianji Tower, the ship would actually pass by the southern island before turning west towards the southern peninsula.
"The Coral is equipped with 19 basic staff members and 21 escort personnel, including 1 Tier 7, 2 Tier 6, and the rest are Tier 4-5. The ship is only equipped with basic emergency and light weapons for near-shore trade."
"The ships are poorly armed and pose little threat to us."
"However, we need to be vigilant about the ship's emergency communications, pay attention to the ship's position, avoid areas with official strongholds of the Seventh District or the Greater District nearby, and also avoid alerting powerful alien species in the sea when we take action, so as to cause unnecessary trouble."
