In a dilapidated Taoist temple more than 600 kilometers away from Luoyang City, Li Shentan, whom Ren Xiaosu was looking for, was looking at the bonfire in front of him with a melancholy expression and adding some firewood to it.
A cataclysm had caused the collapse of a human city, but this Taoist temple was still fine. At least, it did not collapse.
Si Liren looked at Li Shentan eagerly. She pointed at the roasted pheasant on the fire and asked, "Can we eat it now?"
At that moment, Li Shentan looked at Si Liren and saw that her little face was ashen. He sighed and said, "What a sin. Why did that girl have to hunt me down? It's not like I made them miss each other. Speaking of which, I did put in a lot of effort to let them reunite."
"But she doesn't know," Si Liren muttered. "She doesn't know what we did, nor does she know that Ren Xiaosu has been to Luoyang City. I have a feeling that she's hunting you down because she doesn't like you …"
"What are you talking about?" Li Shentan glared at Si Liren. Then, he took off the roasted pheasant and tore off a leg to pass to Little Liren. "Be careful, it's hot."
However, Si Liren did not care about that. She was really starving. After running around in circles with Li Shentan for more than half a month, her little face had slimmed down again!
"But why don't we go back and beat her up?" Si Liren asked as she took a bite of the chicken leg.
"If we really fight to the death with her, we'll be in big trouble." Li Shentan sighed and said, "Some people can be beaten up, and some people can't. Do you understand? This girl is really amazing. She appears and disappears unpredictably, and it's hard to guard against her. But I haven't seen her for a week, so I don't think she has time to waste with me anymore. After all, finding Ren Xiaosu is more important. "
"Since she's not chasing after us anymore, how about we go back to Luoyang City?" Si Liren started thinking about the roasted sweet potatoes in Luoyang City again. In this wilderness, life was a little tough for two people who didn't have much ability to survive in the wild …
Li Shentan shook his head. "Luoyang City has become a troublesome place, so we can't go back right now. Your Grandpa Nonsense sent us information that many supernatural beings have gathered in Luoyang City over the past month. He was the one who told us to leave quickly."
"What's Grandpa Nonsense doing now?" Si Liren asked curiously.
"He couldn't stay idle and returned to his old profession. He went to set up an intelligence network. I heard that he even adopted some refugee orphans to raise," Li Shentan explained.
"Why do those supernatural beings have to go to Luoyang City?" Si Liren grumbled, "I don't even have any roasted sweet potatoes to eat anymore."
"An innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth." Li Shentan sighed and said, "Think about it. It's only a lone stronghold, but it has more than half of the satellites, so it's normal for it to be targeted. Your Grandpa Nonsense said that some people are determined to get their hands on those satellites this time. It seems like those satellites are very important to them, although he can't figure out why. "
"Then where are we going if we don't go back to Luoyang City?" Si Liren finished eating her drumstick and looked eagerly at Li Shentan's hand.
"Why don't we go south to see the sea first?" Li Shentan handed the roasted chicken to Si Liren as he pondered it. "Didn't you say you wanted to see what the sea looks like? I've never seen the sea before either. I heard it was very lively there before The Cataclysm, but now the consortiums are abandoning it. I think it's because of the typhoons that blow us away all the time."
"Alright, let's go see the typhoons then!" Si Liren said firmly.
"Silly Liren, typhoons only happen in summer."
"Then we'll stay there until summer!"
"This is the first time I've heard of someone being so enthusiastic about watching typhoons …."
…
In Luoyang City, Ren Xiaosu spent almost half the night looking for Dong Funan. In the end, he did not know where that female vampire had run off to. He did not see her again.
"Forget it, let's retreat for now. We can't stay in a hotel. We have to stay in a residential area." Ren Xiaosu said, "It'll be too eye-catching if we stay in a hotel at this time. We'll definitely attract attention."
Ren Xiaosu also knew that many people with ulterior motives must have gathered in this special Central Plains stronghold. Luoyang City had already banned outsiders from entering the city, so the people staying in the hotels at this time were either young couples who wanted to book a king-size room or outsiders.
He would definitely not be willing to be noticed by others. He would also not be willing to book a king-size room with Zhou Yingxue.
Moreover, there were still Wang Yuchi and the others. If there were too many of them, it would easily attract attention.
Initially, Ren Xiaosu wanted to find a bridge shelter to spend the night. If it were just him, he would definitely settle it like this. But the problem was that Wang Yuchi and the others were also coming with him.
Of course, Wang Yuchi and the others were no longer greenhouse flowers. Sleeping in the wilderness was a piece of cake for them. However, these students were about to face the special batch of admissions exams. It was a critical period for them to study, so they could not possibly sleep under the bridge shelter with him.
"Let's go look for the Qinghe Group." Zhou Yingxue muttered, "We're here to help, so we should at least provide for our meals and accommodation, right?"
"If we get too close to the Qinghe Group at this time, won't we be exposed to everyone?" Ren Xiaosu said, "I'm not even planning to go to the dinner appointment with the Qinghe Group's chairman tomorrow night. I definitely can't let others hit me in the open."
Zhou Yingxue thought to herself that her master was really cautious. But this way, she would not have to use her brain and would just follow along. She would be able to win without doing anything.
"Then where are we going, Master?" Zhou Yingxue asked, "It's too late to buy a house now."
"I'll give Qin Sheng a call later and see if he has any good ideas," Ren Xiaosu said.
This time, in order to make it easier for him to contact Ren Xiaosu, Qin Sheng even left a satellite phone for him. Furthermore, it was an encrypted phone of the Qinghe Group so that the contents of the conversation would not be leaked.
In the end, Qin Sheng gave Ren Xiaosu a satisfactory answer. They were going to Junmin Alley, where they had just vacated a secluded courtyard house. There were still people staying there yesterday, so it would not arouse any suspicions.
After hanging up, Ren Xiaosu sighed and said, "The Knight Organization is quite reliable. It's a little watertight. I feel that the troublemakers won't be able to get away with it this time."
Ren Xiaosu instructed Wang Yuchi and the others, "When we get to the place, study hard. There's no need for you to worry about anything else. Among us, you're the only ones who can be intellectuals, so you must cherish these opportunities."
Wang Yuchi nodded in agreement.
When he got to the yard, Ren Xiaosu had just turned on the lights in the living room when he heard the phone next to the sofa ring. Puzzled, he picked it up and said something along the lines of, "OK, no problem." Then he hung up.
Zhou Yingxue asked curiously, "Master, was that Qin Sheng?"
"Oh, no." Ren Xiaosu said, "He said he wanted to apply for leave. He won't be able to go to work tomorrow."
Zhou Yingxue said in a daze, "Then did you approve his leave just now, Master?"
"Who cares who he is? I approved it. After all, it's considered a good deed," Ren Xiaosu said nonchalantly. It wasn't like the person was his employee.
Moreover, he even received four gratitude tokens from the person on the other end of the line.
Zhou Yingxue was speechless.
