Chapter 752 - Departure
“You’re helping the Simings to fight god Yu’er?” Li Huowang asked.
He had to confirm with Xuan Pin again to make sure he had understood correctly, as the idea sounded ridiculous. He never thought such a thing was possible.
Xuan Pin remained silent.
Li Huowang questioned rapidly, “Which Simings are you helping? Which of them are fighting god Yu’er? How’s the situation?”
Xuan Pin continued to stay silent.
“Answer me, dammit! Do you think it's funny to see me talking to myself like this?”
This time, Xuan Pin replied, “I can only tell you this much. Think carefully about what I’ve said before. Any more, and you will be tainted by their cause and effect.”
Li Huowang frowned. “Just you alone? Can the Surveillance Bureau really work with the Simings? I don’t believe it.”
He suspected that Xuan Pin wasn’t telling the truth.
“Hehe, so you think you know me? Or do you know the Simings a lot?”
“I’m not doubting you, but what you’ve said is too ridiculous.”
No matter what, a Siming was still a Siming. Li Huowang had seen them before and never thought Xuan Pin would be able to help them in robbing the Heavenly Daos.
“The fact you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean the method doesn’t exist. Since we can survey the Heavens, we also have our methods. Also, the other sects are hoping for the Dharma Sect’s downfall. They will naturally come and help us.”
Hearing that, Li Huowang wanted to ask more questions.
However, Xuan Pin gestured for him to stop. “That’s enough questions for now. I cannot answer anymore. These aren’t your concerns at the moment. What you need to do is to accept this mission and work hard. Only then can we prevent this disaster.”
Li Huowang frowned before he raised one finger at Xuan Pin. “One last question. How are things up there? Which side is winning? Is it us, or god Yu’er?”
“That depends on how well you do in your mission. If you are successful, god Yu’er will be dead in a few days. There’s no reason to doubt me. No matter how many secrets I have, you have to remember that we are on the same side. I even gave you the mirror, which is an incredible artifact and a sign of my goodwill to you.”
“How many times will you bring that up? Fine. Who else will be coming with me?”
“Some other experts.”
Xuan Pin took out a Surveillance Bureau’s identity plate. On it were two words: Third General.
Li Huowang already knew about the Surveillance Bureau's ranking system. This identity plate was leagues above his Seventh Banner rank.
Xuan Pin explained, “With this, no one will bother you. Everyone will also listen to you. They will even die for you if you order them to.”
Li Huowang took the identity token and looked at Xuan Pin. “Where are they? When do we depart?”
Xuan Pin pointed at the mirror floating beside Li Huowang. “Go there and someone will explain to you.”
Li Huowang said nothing as he looked at the glowing dot on the mirror and walked towards the designated spot.
Xuan Pin called out to him from behind, “Don’t worry, I’ll save you if you are in danger.”
Li Huowang, however, preferred to rely on himself when it came to his own life. He still remembered how Xuan Pin hadn’t saved him from the Earth Dragon’s stomach the last time. I doubt that he just learned that technique.
“Alright, I understand. That’s all for now. I will hang up now.” Li Huowang hung up after he pressed the glowing red button on the phone screen.
“Who called you?” Yang Na asked as she happily sipped her milk tea.
“Who else? It’s the grad student. He wants us to go to his place for a bit. Probably something to do with Zhao Lei,” Li Huowang answered, looking warily at the crowded streets.
“Alright, let’s take our stuff and go.”
Suddenly, Yang Na’s eyes lit up. She shoved the milk tea into Li Huowang’s hands before running towards a girl with braids in the distance.
Yang Na greeted her close friend excitedly. “My looove! Did you miss me?”
On the other hand, the girl in braids was visibly less excited than Yang Na. She stared at Li Huowang warily from a distance.
Despite wearing a different outfit and even sporting sunglasses, the girl still managed to recognize Li Huowang. She was Yang Na’s close friend, after all.
“Meng Meng, where’s the taser?” Yang Na asked.
She took the bag from Meng Meng and opened it. Inside were several unopened packages of high-voltage tasers.
After what happened last time, Li Huowang understood the importance of having a weapon. Since he couldn’t get anything illegal, he had no choice but to stock up on legal ones.
Zhang Xiaomeng pulled Yang Na further away from Li Huowang and whispered harshly, “Why did you think I went through so much to get you a taser last time? Don’t you know who you are supposed to be wary of? Why are you still with him? Do you have Stockholm syndrome?”
“What are you talking about?” Yang Na punched her lightly. “Huowang has been cured.”
“But he killed someone before! You could’ve easily found someone else, so why did you stay with a crazy maniac like him?”
“It’s complicated!”
Yang Na talked with her friend for a bit longer before she returned to Li Huowang with the tasers.
Li Huowang passed the milk tea back to her and opened the bag. He inspected the tasers and was satisfied with them.
“How much were they?” Li Huowang asked.
Yang Na answered, “Not much. It cost me a couple of milk teas, I suppose. You don’t have to pay me anything.”
“I’m not paying for them, and neither should you. We are getting them for the others, so Qing Wanglai is supposed to pay for them.”
Yang Na sipped on her milk tea as she held onto Li Huowang’s arm. “Is that so? That’s good, then.”
“Also, we don’t have to tell him the real price. Just give him a larger figure. He’s rich.”
Yang Na laughed when she heard that. Even so, her eyes were filled with worry.
The situation was becoming more serious, and she was worried that it would get out of her control.
The two of them rode a bike and departed for Orange Isle.
For now, the only good news was that when Li Huowang brought Yang Na out, no one would ask them too many questions. It was normal for youngsters like them to go on dates.
