“What a loss! We should have waited for him to complete the transaction with us and gotten the Spirit Stones before leaving!”
Su Xiaojiu munched on her hamburger, a bit downcast.
“But this is quite tasty.”
She took a big gulp of cola, suddenly felt her stomach swell, and then let out a long burp.
“If that Yuan Lihuan truly has some skill, then an open area like a construction site is ideal for capture.
If he blends into a densely populated area before we try to capture him, it could cause unnecessary casualties.”
An Chen replied slowly.
After they left, they didn't return directly but instead found a high vantage point nearby.
They had witnessed everything that just happened, including Yuan Lihuan instantly subduing Zhang Youcai.
“Did you know Yuan Lihuan was a Cultivator all along?”
Even though they were quite far away just now, Su Xiaojiu still sensed Yuan Lihuan's Soul Transformation Stage aura.
“No idea.”
An Chen shook his head and said, “I just guessed.”
“You can guess that accurately?”
Su Xiaojiu didn't believe him.
“How could there be such a coincidence!”
“Without basis, it's called a wild guess.”
An Chen glanced sideways at Su Xiaojiu.
“This Kunpeng Organization is clearly an official organization related to Cultivator.
It’s uncertain whether it was established after the Transmigration incident, but I'm more inclined to believe it existed before this incident.”
“Why?”
Curious Xiao Jiu interrupted An Chen.
“Because their reaction was too fast.
In less than half a day, the official side established such an organization, and the person in charge of this organization has already arrived in South City.
Do you think this is reasonable?”
“Unreasonable.”
Su Xiaojiu shook her head.
“Therefore, this is likely an organization that has been established for a long time, and to deal with Cultivator, besides hot weapons, there are only Cultivator, right?
But look at Yuan Lihuan, did he carry even one gun?”
“It seems… he really didn't!”
Su Xiaojiu suddenly realized.
“So you judged that this Yuan Lihuan's own strength is definitely not simple, right?”
“Roughly.”
An Chen nodded, grabbing a handful of fries and stuffing them into his mouth.
“Of course, there are some other reasons, but they are all secondary.”
For example, Yuan Lihuan's strong observational skills and high efficiency.
However, these are not direct evidence, because his behavior suggests he likely has a military service background.
It's normal for someone who has been in the army for a long time to have higher observational skills and efficiency.
Actually, there was one more point: Yuan Lihuan was able to suspect him through the destroyed cameras.
If he didn't understand Cultivator, he might not have become suspicious, and even if he did, it shouldn't have been like Yuan Lihuan, who just received another alarm call and specifically came to find him.
So An Chen felt that this Yuan Lihuan should understand Cultivator.
“But it’s very strange, why can he Cultivate to such a high Realm in a place where Spiritual Qi is so scarce?
In our Sect, he could even be an Elder or preside over a mountain peak.”
Su Xiaojiu and Zhang Youcai shared the same confusion, and even An Chen couldn't figure out this problem.
“No idea.”
An Chen checked the time on his phone and found it was almost four o'clock.
The two of them had been quite busy today; their lunch was delayed until now.
“How much longer until your countdown ends?”
“About two hours, it’s coming soon.”
Su Xiaojiu closed her eyes to check and said.
“Hmm, let’s go back first.”
After finishing their meal, the two quickly returned home.
An Chen had nothing to do today and, tired from the day, didn't feel like moving.
He plopped down onto the sofa.
This sofa was as old as him, but it was surprisingly comfortable, so An Chen hadn't sold it back then.
“I might really be able to go back later.”
Su Xiaojiu also sat on the sofa and suddenly spoke.
“Hmm, it’s good if you can go back.”
Although he had just bought her a bunch of daily necessities and several sets of clothes, this was only in case Su Xiaojiu really couldn't go back and had to stay here.
Anyway, it didn't cost much; only a little of that five thousand yuan bonus was spent.
If Su Xiaojiu could really go back, it would save him trouble, and An Chen wouldn't have to worry about her causing him any problems.
It was just that it had been so hard these past two days to get Su Xiaojiu to adapt a bit to life in this world, which had exhausted him, and now she was going back, which was quite a pity.
“But I don't want to go back now.
Your world is so interesting.
Anyway, I ran away from home, so anywhere I play is playing, right?
I might as well play here for a few more days.”
“…”
An Chen suddenly found that the slight feeling of regret in his heart vanished into thin air.
Still playing? If she played for two more days, he would be exhausted!
“It's just a shame, it seems I also have no way to stop that countdown… I really hope that feeling of being able to go back is false.”
Su Xiaojiu propped her chin, squeezing a bit of flesh on her face.
“Just wait and see.”
“Right.”
The two suddenly fell silent, sitting quietly on the sofa.
An Chen suddenly felt this sensation was familiar; when he was little, he had also gone out to play with his parents, and after two happy days, sitting in the car on the way home, it felt just like this.
After a long silence, Su Xiaojiu suddenly spoke again.
“I suddenly feel a bit bad about staying at your house for free these past two days, eating and drinking.
How about I give you something as a thank you?”
An Chen became interested this time and turned his head to look at Su Xiaojiu.
Su Xiaojiu, meanwhile, took out her qiankun bag and rummaged through it for a long time.
“How about… this one!”
She took out a Talisman.
“This is specifically for Mortals.
It's a Talisman that doesn't need Spiritual Power to activate; you just need to tear it, and the Spiritual Power inside the Talisman will burst out.
My father gave this to me for self-defense before I was sixteen.”
An Chen took the Talisman and examined it for a long time, finding that the patterns on the Talisman were complex and profound, completely incomprehensible.
“What is the effect of this Talisman?”
“It's the lowest-grade Swiftness Talisman, which can make your speed much faster, reaching the level of Qi Refining Fifth or Sixth Layer.”
Su Xiaojiu replied, then took out several more Talismans from her qiankun bag.
“This is a Heavenly Thunder Talisman, which can summon heavenly thunder to strike people.
Qi Refining Third or Fourth Layer Cultivator can be instantly killed, and higher Realm Cultivator will also be injured.
If it's Ninth or Tenth Layer, it probably won't be very effective… And this one, the Vajra Talisman! You've seen it before!”
Su Xiaojiu put two of each of these Talismans into An Chen's arms.
“I feel like your place is quite dangerous too, so take these for self-defense… And this one!”
Su Xiaojiu finally pulled out one Talisman.
The paper of this Talisman was a darker color, somewhat different from the others.
“If you ever have a chance to go to the Nine Provinces Continent and encounter danger, use this.
My father gave this to me for calling for help.
Once this Talisman is used, he will come!
If you say you know me, he will save you!”
