Not long after he sat down, Xiao Chen's phone rang. To his surprise, it was the phone from the Supernatural Investigation Bureau. Moreover, it was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello?" Xiao Chen imitated Yang Tan's voice.
"En?" The person on the other side of the phone was stunned. After a while, he asked, "Are you Xiao Qiang? That Yang Jiannan? "
"Xu Chuxia?" Xiao Chen recognized Xu Chuxia's voice, so he recovered his voice. Previously, he had been using his own voice and not Yang Jiannan's. Anyway, the Supernatural Investigation Bureau gave him a voice changer to carry out his mission.
"Oh, it's really you. I thought I called the wrong number." Xu Chuxia confirmed that it was Xiao Qiang's voice. "Why is your voice different?"
"Oh, I have a voice changer." Xiao Chen said, "What's the matter? Why do you have my number? "
"Then don't worry about it. Oh right, what were you doing just now?" Xu Chuxia asked.
"Just now? I was washing the dishes. You guys just left after eating, leaving a mess for me to clean up! "Xiao Chen said doubtfully," Why? Why do you care about me? "
"Oh, it's nothing. I was just asking." Xu Chuxia sighed in relief. Fortunately, Xiao Chen didn't see Tian Souruan undressing, so she said, "Souruan and I are going out tomorrow. We'll leave at around nine in the morning. Get ready to follow us."
In order to prevent Xiao Chen from monitoring her all the time, Xu Chuxia directly told Xiao Chen their schedule. This way, she could relax a little. Otherwise, she would have to constantly be on guard against Xiao Chen's peeping.
"Okay, I got it. Happy working with you!" Xiao Chen was very happy after hearing this. It seemed that Xu Chuxia planned to cooperate with him. This way, he didn't have to worry about the conflict between the two of them getting worse and exposing themselves.
"Oh …" Xu Chuxia hung up.
Xiao Chen looked at his phone and saved Xu Chuxia's number. Xu Chuxia probably had contact with the people from the Supernatural Investigation Bureau, which was why she got his number. The reason why she called was probably because of Sour Sour.
These days, Xiao Chen's cultivation had been stuck at the ninth stage of Qi Refinement. He was only one step away from the peak, but he just couldn't go any further. This made Xiao Chen depressed. However, Xiao Chen also knew that this was due to the lack of cultivation resources.
Firstly, he didn't have the help of spiritual jades. Secondly, the Devil Scorpion Fruit hadn't been planted yet, so the supplementary medicine couldn't be decocted. If Xiao Chen wanted to cultivate, he could only rely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, how much spiritual energy could there be in the city?
"Xiao Chen, you don't have to worry too much. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is sparse. It's not your fault that you can't break through. You can wait for the Devil Scorpion Fruit to ripen or find other opportunities. With your current strength, unless you meet a very powerful person, you should be able to break through with this mission." The Elder Heaven Ancestor's voice sounded in Xiao Chen's ear, calming him down.
Yes, his current identity was Yang Tan, and his strength was similar to Yang Tan's. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be in too much danger. Xiao Meng had protected him for a long time, but wasn't he still unharmed?
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen nodded. It seemed like he had to stop pretending to be Yang Tan for a while. However, this was also a good opportunity. If he completed the mission well and continued to build a good relationship with Xia Chuxia, he might be able to secretly investigate the reason for his father's disappearance!
One had to know that the Supernatural Investigation Bureau was very powerful. However, Xiao Chen couldn't do that now. It would be too easy to arouse suspicion.
The night passed uneventfully. Tian Souruan and Xu Chuxia lay in bed and chatted until midnight before falling asleep. When they woke up, it was already past eight o 'clock. Usually, they would wake up at six o' clock in the morning.
"It's so comfortable. I really want to sleep in every day." Tian Souruan stretched and climbed out of bed. "Chuxia, where are we going to play today?"
"I'm going to Azure Mountain today," Xu Chuxia said after looking at the diary on her phone.
"Ah? Why are we going there? Didn't we say we're going to play video games? " Tian Souruan asked curiously. "What's there to play? It's so cold and windy on the mountain. Sister Souruan is going to freeze to death."
"I'm going to Tianqing Temple to ask for medicine for Grandma. Her rheumatic legs hurt unbearably every winter. But Taoist Priest Lu Li of Tianqing Temple has a type of celestial water that can treat it. It doesn't hurt as much after applying it. I ask for some for Grandma every year," Xu Chuxia said.
"Huh? Temple? " Tian Souruan frowned. "Chuxia, your father is a scientist. Why do you still believe in this? Celestial water? Isn't that all a lie? "
"Souruan, this Tianqing Temple isn't just any temple. I heard that the temple master, Taoist Master Tian Xian, is a truly powerful person. He's a cultivator!" Xu Chuxia explained to Tian Souruan. "And their celestial water isn't like what you think it is. It's different if you put some paper ash in it! What they used was a medicinal liquid refined from some heavenly materials and earthly treasures … "
"Oh … it's similar to the medicine refiners in the Warrior Guild?" Tian Souruan roughly understood. "Then why don't you just ask for the medicine refiners? Why bother looking for them?"
"They focus on health and healing, but the medicine sold by the Warrior Guild is for cultivation. That's different," Xu Chuxia explained. "Souruan, you'll know when you get there. There are many people asking for medicine every day. Not everyone gives it to them!"
"It costs money?" Tian Souruan really didn't care about that. Xu Chuxia used to go there herself, and she only went once a year. Naturally, Tian Souruan didn't know.
"Money is secondary. The main thing is that you have to fulfill some conditions, and these conditions change regularly. In short, it's very troublesome to ask for medicine," Xu Chuxia said. "Last year, I went there several times in a row before I got it."
"That's so troublesome. Sigh …" Tian Souruan was a little depressed. "Right, didn't Cai Wuliang say that his family is very powerful in Lan City? Why don't we look for him? Let his family say something. That Taoist priest can't not give face, right? "
"This … I don't want to trouble him!" Xu Chuxia was thinking that Xiao Qiang was from the Supernatural Investigation Bureau. Wouldn't it be easier if he appeared? However, he couldn't reveal his identity so easily. If he was exposed, the Supernatural Investigation Bureau would replace him, just like what happened to Xiao Meng previously.
"Alright, alright. Is there any good food on the mountain?" Tian Souruan slowly put on his clothes.
"Why do you only know how to eat? Why don't you die from eating? " Xu Chuxia was a little speechless. Food was everywhere they went. "That's a scenic area. The food is very expensive. If you want to eat, you have to pay for it yourself. I don't have money. My money might not even be enough to get medicine."
"Hey? Right, why don't we bring Xiao Qiang there? He happens to be pursuing you, and he seems to be quite rich. How about giving him a chance to treat you? "Tian Souruan suggested.
Xu Chuxia didn't know how to explain the coincidental encounter. She wanted to pretend that it had nothing to do with her, but if there were too many coincidences, there would be problems. She was also afraid that Tian Souruan would suspect that she was a secret. Since Tian Souruan took the initiative to ask, there was no problem. Thinking of this, Xu Chuxia said, "Why bring him? If you want to bring him, bring him yourself. "
"That's what you said. Then I'll bring him!" Tian Souruan chuckled as if he had found the loophole in Xu Chuxia's words. "I'll go find him … Hey? Oh, right, I don't have his number. Do you? "
"I don't either …" Xu Chuxia shook her head. "Souruan, aren't you asking nonsense? How could I have his number? "
"That's true. How about this? Let's go downstairs later. I'll press the doorbell and ask him to come down!" Tian Souruan said after thinking for a while.
"Oh …" Xu Chuxia didn't object, but she didn't agree either.
The two of them got dressed. Xu Chuxia made some breakfast for Tian Souruan. Looking at the milk and bread in front of her, Tian Souruan frowned. "Chuxia, isn't your breakfast a little too simple?"
"It's very nutritious. It's fine if you don't want it." Xu Chuxia didn't want to spoil her.
"Then I'll eat." Tian Souruan and Xu Chuxia finished their breakfast and went downstairs together.
Xu Chuxia waited there while Tian Souruan pressed the doorbell.
On Xiao Chen's side, he looked at the time. It was already 9: 30. Just as he was getting dressed and preparing to go downstairs, the building's intercom rang. He pressed it and saw that it was Tian Souruan. He pretended to be confused … In fact, he was really confused. "Souruan? What's wrong? What's the matter? "
"Xiao Qiang, I'm here to tell you that Chuxia and I are going to Azure Mountain. Hurry down!" Tian Sour said sneakily, "In order to repay me, let me tell you, you have to treat me to a meal later!"
"Okay, no problem." Xiao Chen pretended to be surprised. He didn't want to pursue Xu Chuxia at first, but now, for better acting, he pretended to pursue her. Anyway, he already told Xu Chuxia, "I'm going out to buy something. Wait for me, I'll be right down."
Tian Souruan didn't have to wait for long before he saw Xiao Chen push open the door. However, Xiao Chen didn't see Xu Chuxia, so he asked, "Souruan, where's Chuxia?"
Tian Souruan turned his head and didn't see Xu Chuxia either. He rolled his eyes and said, "She's not here yet. I called you secretly. She'll be here soon. Look …"
Sure enough, Xiao Chen saw Xu Chuxia walk out of the unit door and looked over. In fact, Xu Chuxia was afraid that it would be awkward to explain, so she went back again.
"Souruan, where did you go?" Xu Chuxia asked.
"Oh, I saw Xiao Qiang coming downstairs. I spoke to him and he said he wanted to go too …" Tian Souruan said.
"Oh …" Xu Chuxia didn't say anything.
"Chuxia, how are we going to get there? Don't tell me we're taking the bus? There's no direct bus there. We have to walk a long way! "Tian Souruan asked.
