We returned to the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau.
After parking the car, I walked back to the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau, which was around 3 a.m.
Hua Changle returned to her room, tidied up briefly, but instead of going to sleep, she went to the mirror to check her back.
The two large cracks on the back did not widen, but the fine, small cracks on top became more distinct.
"Um?"
Hua Changle moved closer to the mirror and discovered that with each heartbeat, the ghostly thing inside her trembled, and the tiny cracks on her back were also slightly opening and closing, like breathing.
The movement of the small cracks on her back did not cause pain. Instead, Hua Changle felt that the strange, ghostly thing inside her body was slowly spreading to her back with the pulsating rhythm.
Like green shoots about to break through the soil and grow.
But Hua Changle knew that what would actually sprout from the soil would definitely not be a green shoot.
Hua Changle did not let this feeling continue. She activated her innate supernatural power and forcibly suppressed its spreading momentum.
She doesn't plan to refine the byproducts tonight.
Because the people from Eagle Hall are very likely to come tomorrow, she can't guarantee that it will be in time to refine it now, or whether her body will be able to recover tomorrow after refining it.
After all, she was tormented half to death during the first anomaly, so refining it would probably be extremely difficult for her.
We need to find another time and a safer location.
Hua Changle suppressed the abnormality within her body, cultivated and regulated her breathing for a while, and only fell asleep when the sky began to lighten.
...
Early in the morning, Eagle Master sat in Eagle Hall.
Vulture stood to one side, at Eagle Master's feet, kneeling Zhang Shao, who had recently woken up and come to plead his case.
Zhang Shao was crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, which made Vulture frown.
Zhang Shao embellished his story and recounted what had happened yesterday, then went on and on crying. Vulture, after a wink from Eagle Master, led him away.
When Vulture returned, his face was grim. He said, "Master, the Hua family really went too far this time!"
Hua Qingyun kept a close eye on the base in Nancheng. Even that Hua Changle dared to step on our heads!
They need to be taught a lesson so they'll know who's really in District Seven!
Eagle was also angry, but his thoughts went deeper: "Are you sure Hua Changle didn't go there specifically to cause trouble?"
The vulture said confidently, "I'm sure."
It was the information from Master Hong of the Blood Arena. Their people kept a close eye on Hua Changle yesterday and confirmed that she was wandering around the city.
I'm not sure if Hua Changle is genuinely just playing around or observing the situation in District Seven, but her trip to Japan certainly doesn't seem premeditated.
"Moreover, Hua Changle did not have any contact with any Jackal Gang members. According to the people in the Blood Arena, he did not know Zhang Bi's identity at first. It was just that Zhang Bi happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time."
"but!"
The vulture suddenly remembered: "Hua Changle went to Mule's discount department store."
“That’s a bit suspicious. But she was having fun all the way to that street, and after she got to the mule’s place, she didn’t have any contact with the mule’s people. It seems like it was just a coincidence.”
Vulture pondered for a moment, then said, "Sir, could Mule help the Hua family cooperate with the Jackal Gang?"
Eagle glanced at him: "Are you crazy or is his mule crazy?"
"Actively approaching the Hua family? Mule must have a death wish! We don't even fully know how many shady dealings he's handled. Isn't going to the Hua family just walking into their trap?"
"Besides, don't you know the relationship between the Mule and the Jackal Gang?"
The vulture slapped his forehead: "Master, I was confused!"
Mule failed to join the Jackal Gang's core group back then because Dog Three dealt with him. Although Mule carried the name of the Jackal Gang, he wasn't truly loyal to them.
Eagle sneered, "If the mule wants to live, it has to help us and the She family."
Vulture observed Eagle's expression, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Then... sir, what about Zhang Bi's matter?"
Eagle slammed his fist on the table, splashing water from the teacup.
"I'm not afraid of Hua Qingyun, how dare some little brat step on my face?"
"Take some men and go give them a proper 'payment'!"
After receiving the order, the vulture went down to make arrangements.
After a moment of silence, Eagle answered a call.
The call connected, and She Haoyun's voice came from the other end: "Is Master Ying in trouble?"
"Don't try to play games with me!" Eagle's tone was anything but polite.
“You couldn’t stop Hua Qingyun from running into the territory of the Seventh District. I’m not going to hold it against you because of Elder ‘Fox’s’ support.”
“Now, every single one of those people with the surname Hua is offending me. It’s not right for you to hide in the back and let me take the blame for you, is it?”
"If this is Young Master She's attitude, then I'm afraid I can't help with the goods in Nancheng!"
Eagle Master made his statement clear.
She Haoyun wanted him to secretly send people to damage the seized goods, thereby launching an attack on the Hua family and the investigation team and breaking their blockade.
But now, Eagle Master is dissatisfied with She Haoyun's attitude and is unwilling to take action.
Despite Eagle's furious attitude, She Haoyun remained calm and even noticed the subtle details in Eagle's words:
"One by one?"
"Besides Hua Qingyun, what else did Hua Changle do?"
Clearly, She Haoyun was more curious about Hua Changle's actions than Hua Qingyun.
She Haoyun received the news as early as when Hua Qingyun and Hua Changle arrived at the central city of the seventh district.
Just as Hua Qingyun and Hua Changle had predicted, She Haoyun, as a long-time rival, immediately knew that Hua Qingyun wanted to turn the tables on him, pretending to be misled by his scheme and focusing on the Sun family and the alien plant base, while actually trying to intercept Eagle Hall's attack on the goods in District Seven.
She Haoyun had already laid a trap, waiting for Hua Qingyun.
