In an office, Qiao Siyuan stood respectfully in front of his desk with his head lowered in humility.
"Have you found what I asked you to find?" A man sat behind the desk. As only the desk lamp on the desk was on, it was impossible to see the man's appearance in the dark. All one could see was a blurry figure.
"Sir, apart from the An family, I've searched everywhere, but I didn't find what you mentioned," Qiao Siyuan answered cautiously with his head lowered.
"Why didn't you go to the An family?" the man asked indifferently.
"We've already sent people to infiltrate the An family, but Ouyang Lan has managed the An family's affairs airtight. The people we infiltrated didn't even have the chance to approach Ouyang Lan's residence. All they did was do chores in the compound." After a pause, Qiao Siyuan continued, "Previously, in the name of investigating Jing Daoxian, I had also used Liz to test the An family's attitude. An Tianzuo's attitude was very unyielding. He ignored the Senator's reputation and crippled Liz's Primordial Energy sea. It probably won't be easy to directly enter the An family to find the item."
"If everything was easy, why would I need you guys?" The man said coldly.
"Sir, you're right. I'll think of another solution." Qiao Siyuan bowed slightly and continued, "Sir, I believe that perhaps Professor Ouyang didn't leave the item at the An family."
"Why do you say that?" The man sat behind the light and lit a cigarette with an ancient lighter.
"According to my investigations, although Professor Ouyang is best friends with the An family's patriarch, he didn't agree to Ouyang Lan marrying into the An family. Back then, because of this matter, Professor Ouyang and Ouyang Lan nearly fell out. Ever since then, Professor Ouyang hasn't entered the An family again. He wasn't even present when An Tianzuo and An Jing were born."
Seeing the man not react, Qiao Siyuan continued, "It was only after the An family's patriarch died that the relationship between Professor Ouyang and Ouyang Lan eased up significantly. However, he only went to the An family a few times and never stayed there for more than an hour. He didn't even stay overnight. With Professor Ouyang's relationship with the An family, I believe he wouldn't leave such an important item at the An family."
"Then, where do you think Ouyang would hide the item?" the man flicked the cigarette ash and asked.
"Sir, do you think Professor Ouyang would have brought it with him?" Qiao Siyuan probed.
"Impossible. That thing can't enter dimensional zones or there will be huge trouble. Ouyang often needs to enter dimensional zones. He isn't that stupid. He must have hidden it somewhere." The man paused and said, "No matter what, we must find that thing at all costs. We can't let go of the An family. Maybe their bad relationship is just an illusion created by Ouyang."
"Yes, Your Excellency." Qiao Siyuan bowed.
"We don't have much time. We need to get it back as soon as possible. Those ignorant fellows outside thought that they had a lot of time to waste, but they didn't know that disaster was already hanging on their necks like a sharp blade, and could fall at any time. Once the dimensional zone's restrictions are removed, it will be the end of the human world. Therefore, we have to grasp that thing in our hands to prevent such a thing from happening, "the man said.
"Your Excellency, is that thing really that important?" Qiao Siyuan asked the question on his mind.
"Back then, it wasn't only the six heroes who entered the Holy Land. In fact, there were many people who entered the Holy Land. However, most of them died inside. No one knows their names. However, apart from the six heroes, there were others who came out of the Holy Land alive and brought something out. Jing Daoxian is one of them. Ouyang is also one of them. I saw him bring the item out of the Holy Land. That item is of great importance. We have to grasp it, "the man said.
"Your Excellency, there's something that I find somewhat coincidental, but I'm not sure if there's anything wrong with it," Qiao Siyuan said after some thought.
"Speak," the man said.
"Jing Daoxian was seriously injured. While we were pursuing him, he once stayed in Guide City for nearly ten minutes," Qiao Siyuan said.
"You've already written about this in your report. It has something to do with that youth named Zhou Wen, right?" the man asked.
"Yes, I later carefully investigated Zhou Wen. Apart from being Zhou Lingfeng's son, he also has a good relationship with Professor Ouyang. Back when Professor Ouyang was Guide City's principal, he often invited Zhou Wen to his house for a meal. This is a treatment that other students and even teachers don't receive. Now, Ouyang Lan is married to Zhou Lingfeng. I find it too much of a coincidence. I'm wondering if it's possible that Professor Ouyang handed the item to Zhou Wen or Zhou Lingfeng, "Qiao Siyuan said.
"Impossible. The power of that item isn't something a Mortal stage can withstand. It's impossible even if he possesses it. You can continue investigating Zhou Wen's matter, but focus on the An family. The only ones who have the ability to control that item are An Tianzuo and Ouyang Lan," the man said.
"Yes, I understand."
…
Feng Qiuyan wasn't in a good mood. He originally believed that he would definitely get first place in the homework test, but he never expected Wang Lu to be faster than him by nearly a second.
As expected of Wang Lu. She already has such abilities even before advancing to the Legendary stage. After Feng Qiuyan saw the recording of Wang Lu's homework mission, he felt that his loss wasn't undeserved. Wang Lu's understanding and grasp of positioning had already reached an extremely high level. This was something he lacked.
After Wang Lu advances to the Legendary stage, I'll definitely fight her. Before that, I still need to hone myself better and make myself stronger and faster. Feng Qiuyan quickly walked to the school's equipment training room.
Feng Qiuyan believed that he had to be focused in everything he did. Therefore, he had always been practicing his saber techniques. He wanted to make his saber techniques faster and stronger, so that he could reach the pinnacle of the world with his saber.
Therefore, after arriving at the equipment training room, Feng Qiuyan walked straight to the training ground where the ball launcher was. It was the most suitable equipment for him to practice his swift saber.
However, when Feng Qiuyan arrived at the venue, he realized that someone had already occupied the venue for practice. He couldn't help but frown slightly.
On careful look, he realized that he knew the person who occupied the venue. It was the freshman who had killed the word-engraved Demonized General, Zhou Wen.
There was only one ball launcher, so Feng Qiuyan didn't wish to waste time waiting. Therefore, after some thought, he walked straight into the venue. At the same time, he took a rubber practice knife from the rack and walked towards Zhou Wen.
