At six o'clock in the afternoon, the three little ones returned to the hotel and gathered. Qian Cheng called the stylist who had been prepared long ago to do the styling for the three of them.
It was Zhao Liuer's first time to put on makeup. As she watched herself in the mirror becoming more beautiful bit by bit, the corners of her lips curled up: "I can't believe this is me."
Ai Yu didn't feel anything.
At eight o'clock, the three of them boarded the ship on time with the forged invitation letters. The first floor of the ship was unexpectedly large, and businessmen wearing silver masks and with all kinds of hair colors could be seen everywhere.
Pure black hair like these three people is rare on the ship.
As soon as Ai Yu entered the dance hall, she felt that someone was looking at her, but she looked around and couldn't find anyone.
Zhao Liuer had already gone with Qian Cheng to gather intelligence. Ai Yu stood there blankly. Realizing that he still had a mission to complete, he walked around the dance hall to see if there were any Xia people.
At this moment, a man who seemed to be from Xia country walked towards him. On the man's shoulder stood a raven. He was tall, with a prominent nose bridge and a touch of silver on his forehead. His brown eyes fell on Ai Yu with a smile.
Jian Kaiheng bowed before Ai Yu and said, "Beautiful lady, may I invite you to dance with me?"
Ai Yu tilted her head slightly, not understanding why this man wanted to dance with her, but she felt that the raven on the man's body was very familiar.
Jian Kaiheng noticed Ai Yu's gaze and explained in a rare and considerate manner, "This is my pet. Its name is Gangbi'er."
Looking at Jian Kaiheng's outstretched hand, he hesitated for a moment and then put his hand on it.
Jian Kaiheng raised the corners of his lips again, and danced with Ai Yu, going to the center of the dance floor: "May I know your name, Miss?"
Ai Yu's dance is emotionless, all technique: "My name is Ai Yu."
Jian Kaiheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Really? My name is Jian Kaiheng, a Xiali mixed-race person. Nice to meet you. I wonder if Miss Ai is interested in learning about our business?"
At this moment, everyone exchanged dance steps. Ai Yu danced around and came back to fall into Jian Kaiheng's hands again: "Not interested."
"Miss Ai, please consider it. Our sister admires you very much. The company is full of handsome men and beautiful women. Of course, I am the most handsome one. You are very lucky to have met me." Jian Kaiheng became cocky unconsciously and felt a little flattered.
"Yeah." Ai Yu agreed. Remembering that she should get information, she pondered the wording and asked, "What do you know by coming here?"
Jian Kaiheng chuckled, having unexpectedly found Ai Yu's frankness endearing. He leaned over to her ear, smiled softly, and acted very intimately, "Of course I know. If Miss Ai agrees to join the company, I'll tell you everything. How's that?"
When Ai Yu left Jian Kaiheng again and danced with others, she thought about it.
What exactly is Akashilia's purpose? Two people have been sent to serve as excuses. Since Jian Kaiheng said that he is mixed-race, Akashilia is most likely a Li countryman.
It seemed that joining in would be of no use. She had only one goal: to find NI001.
When she returned to Jian Kaiheng, Ai Yu decisively refused: "I'm not interested in your company. I have my own purpose."
"Maybe you can tell her that Sister's company is very big and covers the world. She can also help you fulfill many of your wishes. Are you really not going to consider it?" In the message sent by Ling Xiaoan, Jian Kaiheng and Akashilia both saw Ai Yu's amazing potential. It is a waste of talent for such a person to live in a small Ji Palace.
Only in the hands of good craftsmen can the unpolished jade be carved into perfection.
Ai Yu lowered his head and thought for a moment: "Then can you help me find someone? I came to Jigong just to find him. If you find him, I will go with you."
She was tired of being interrupted all the time.
It would be nice if I could join a company without being disturbed.
Huajian was so drunk that she had no acquaintances in Jigong anymore. She felt that she didn't want to stay in Jigong anymore.
"Who are you looking for?" Jian Kaiheng felt something was wrong. Could he be looking for an ordinary Xia countryman? That would be very difficult to find.
"He is the Moon Envoy of Qimen, codenamed NI001. As for the rest, I don't know." Ai Yu lowered her eyes. They all said that the numbering of zones one to nine started from 101. Then was the nameplate she had been wearing fake?
Jian Kaiheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Leave me your contact information, my sister and I will help you find it."
Although he is of mixed Xia and Li descent, he has spent very little time in Xia Country.
"Um."
Ai Yu and Jian Kaiheng danced a few rounds, but Jian Kaiheng left first. Before leaving, he left his contact information.
Ai Yu was not interested in ballroom dancing, so she left the dance floor.
There were no Xia people on the first floor at a glance, except for her two classmates. She saw a staircase leading up and walked over.
The second floor was full of VIP rooms. Ai Yu knew it was impolite to enter someone else's room directly, so he didn't find any clues.
She looked on the deck again, but still couldn't find it.
The basement was dark and cold. Ai Yu walked around, but someone covered her mouth from behind. The man's palm was covered with a scent that was enough to stun an adult: "Are you that Ai Yu?"
Ai Yu tilted her head slightly. Why was someone looking for her again? This mask looked fake, completely useless.
The man raised his elbow, ready to knock Ai Yu unconscious and carry her away. The information said that Ai Yu was a summoner, and her physical skills in close combat must be bad. Now that she had inhaled most of the incense, it was time to knock her unconscious and carry her away.
Ai Yu moved her index finger, summoning a sharp sword that pierced the chest of the person behind her. The moment she was freed, she left the man's arm range.
It seemed that this dress was very expensive and she couldn't afford to get it dirty.
Ai Yu summoned another flashlight and looked at the black-haired man clutching his chest. "Are you from Xia?"
Her sword strike was very tricky. It didn't hit the heart, but it pierced half of the man's lung.
The man was having difficulty breathing and bleeding profusely from his wounds. This was different from the information... Didn't she say that she had to draw a formation when releasing Sariel?
Seeing the man didn't answer, Ai Yu knocked him unconscious with a stick and tapped his headset: "Report, someone is trying to arrest me in the basement. They look like Xia people. Do you... want to come and take a look?"
If you come too late, you may not see anyone.
At this moment, several figures walked out from the darkness. Ai Yu shone the flashlight on them. These people were not normal people at all. Their eyes were dull and some parts of their bodies had mutated into the appearance of star beasts.
Ai Yu made a quick decision: "White-robed Confucian General Chen Qingzhi, enter the battle!"
A thin, unarmed man in a white robe walked out of the space next to Ai Yu. He coughed and seemed ill. "Chen Qingzhi, enter the battle formation."
Ai Yu summoned Chen Qingzhi out, but of course she didn't expect him to kill anyone. She held the sword in her hand and said, "Command me!"
"Yes, sir."
