A brilliant golden light poured into Zhang Yuanqing’s awareness, dispersing the anger within him and freeing him from his questioning state. He saw Li Dongze disheveled, dressed in a messy manner, while simultaneously feeling intense pain throughout his body—like having endured relentless, brutal beatings. "Really, every time we consume the spirit of an Evil Organization, Night Wandering Deity becomes frantic..." Li Dongze returned Fu Bai Fu Chang to Zhang Yuanqing and began straightening his clothes. He then pulled out a damp tissue from his pocket and offered it with a smile. "Wipe off your nosebleed—you must always remain graceful." Zhang Yuanqing accepted the tissue, wiped clean the streaks of blood, and first checked his attributes panel. His experience level had increased by 5%, now reaching 52%. He then reviewed the fragments of memory. The Dong District Branch of the Spirit Energy Association has two vice-presidents: one is the "Eyes of Mystery Judge," and the other is the superior of the "Outlaw Extraordinary Person." These two have been competing for the position of president over many years. After the death of the Eyes of Mystery Judge, the latter sought to acquire the Sacred Cup and the Register in order to inherit the rival’s assets and consolidate the Dong District Branch. Thus, he is also actively searching for Black Unchanging. The Spirit Energy Association has substantial influence—just within its Dong District Branch, there are two vice-presidents who are both high-level Realm Walkers... Zhang Yuanqing steadied himself and said: "Chief, I've discovered a significant clue." He immediately shared with Li Dongze the list he had observed in his memory fragments. As Li Dongze listened, he nodded thoughtfully; when he heard about the list, his eyes suddenly brightened: "Excellent! Outstanding! With this list, we can now conduct targeted investigations instead of operating like aimless cobwebs. Indeed, the most insightful understanding of an opponent often comes from within that very opponent." Zhang Yuanqing reflected quietly: "I keep feeling something strange—first Ou Xiangrong, then the Outlaw Extraordinary Person—it seems as though someone is deliberately sending us clues." Li Dongze smiled gently and said: "You have a keen sense. Then, prepare an analytical report for me—that will be your demonstration of capability." Graceful but odd—how could you lose me with that? Zhang Yuanqing's face instantly went blank. "Good fortune to Li Dongze! The Second Team has certainly achieved great success!" Li Dongze added, then turned without further comment, holding his walking stick and opening the iron door. The members of the Second Team immediately surged forward, facing the serious yet now warmly composed Li Dongze with a mix of anticipation and hope: "How about it? Any insights?" Li Dongze smiled and responded: "We’ve obtained a list from under Black Unchanging—your team has certainly earned their recognition." Li Dongze’s usually stern expression now bloomed into warm delight. The captains of the Second Team were delighted beyond words, radiant with joy. The weight of this list was truly immense—the more important the list, the greater the credit to the team and its members. Li Dongze solemnly added: "However, we need to verify the authenticity of this list." Li Dongze nodded steadily before turning toward Zhang Yuanqing behind him and said: "Once the rewards are issued, we’ll provide a 10% compensation—thank you…" His tone was unusually gentle. Then he expressed admiration with a heartfelt remark: "Li Chief’s fortune is truly excellent!" The members of the Second Team gazed at Zhang Yuanqing with genuine warmth and recognition. No one objected to the idea of compensation; they all agreed it was well-earned by Zhang Yuanqing. ... Dinner time. Zhang Yuanqing sat at the dining table, enjoying meals prepared by Grandmother. Jiang Yubi ate while scrolling through short videos on her phone, wearing a pink sweater with two fluffy ear flaps attached to the hat. I remember when Aunt was in her late teens and twenties—she enjoyed collecting black silk and short skirts to showcase her maturity and elegance. After turning 25, her style began shifting toward youthful charm, proudly declaring herself a "little girl," a "young fairy." As she aged, she grew more fond of appearing young. "Please don’t use your phone while eating," Grandmother said. "Just a little while..." Jiang Yubi pleaded, chewing on her food and saying: "My dear Yuanzi, today at the hospital I saw a mixed-race girl—she has an outstanding figure and looks very lovely. Do you know how old her husband is?" That mixed-race woman not only had excellent physical presence but also excelled in driving... Zhang Yuanqing asked with interest. "How old?" "He’s still a university student!" Jiang Yubi expressed mild disdain. "Now, think about yourself—single all these years, barely any achievements at all." "You don’t understand," Zhang Yuanqing glanced at her pointedly. "You’re also single! How can you judge me?" "Your standard is simply too high," Jiang Yubi replied. "My choice to remain single is a matter of personal integrity—your choice seems like lack of progress." "You’ve even outdone the likes of Xiangyang, the Western Chu Hero!" Grandmother listened intently and rebuked her daughter: "How can you criticize Yuanzi now? He’s currently focused on his studies. What fault does he have? Isn’t it just what a virtuous person should do? You’re still asking me to arrange more dates for you—without pressing for marriage, at least find someone to date first!" Jiang Yubi skillfully redirected the criticism toward her nephew: "I haven’t yet been formally promoted. I also prioritize my career development. Your grandson is already thirty and hasn't found a partner." Grandmother listened attentively and agreed with this point, then turned to Chen Yuanjun and said thoughtfully: "Chen Yuanjun—grandma will arrange one more date for you. Last time I showed the photo to the woman, she mentioned not being interested in older people—so I concluded they didn’t have a good eye for age. This time, I’ll have Yu'er adjust your photo to appear younger." Uncle Chen smiled slightly and habitually furrowed his Sichuan Pattern brows, stating calmly: "Grandma’s happiness is sufficient—but I believe Yuanzi has been sleeping during the day and gaming at night lately; he hasn’t prioritized academics. College isn't the end of learning—it's the beginning of entering society. With your big sister abroad, Grandma, you should certainly supervise Yuanzi more—perhaps even consider retiring the PS5." Grandmother listened and nodded in agreement, then scolded sternly: "Always immersed in games! You’re simply unprogressive—can’t you just let me get rid of your gaming console?" Not at all—Uncle Chen is truly the most stubborn... Zhang Yuanqing felt his scalp tingle. As Grandma continued to speak, he quietly summoned Xiao Doushi—the little mascot—and instructed him to climb onto Grandfather’s head, calm himself emotionally, and personally take over the responsibility of changing Grandfather's hearing ability. "Grandma, look at Grandfather—he does nothing but sit by, letting you manage all matters alone—this isn’t fair." Jiang Yubi and Uncle Chen stared in surprise—the boy had such boldness today. Grandmother turned to Grandfather, frowned, and said: "Old Chen—please speak up… Old Chen? Old Chen?" Grandfather sat quietly with a round, adorable infant resting on his head—he appeared completely unaware, eating steadily. Zhang Yuanqing gently called back Xiao Doushi, and Grandfather suddenly lifted his head as though just hearing someone call him, then frowned: "What was that?" "I was speaking to you," Grandma said in exasperation. "You didn’t hear me." "Then what do you mean? Are you pretending not to listen? You spend all day walking around, playing chess, watching television—aren't you my personal servant at Chen family now? You neglect your own daughter, grandson, and granddaughter—you’ve finally revealed which family legacy is truly fading!" Grandma’s temperament erupted fully. Zhang Yuanqing sat quietly, eating steadily, keeping his actions understated and humble. ... Moss Pet Café. The side doors were slightly open; the lighting was soft, with an amber glow blending harmoniously with the beech wood floors to create a calm, serene atmosphere. The executive-level personnel from Fenghui District, Kangyang District, Jinjiang District, and Puning District gathered together—eleven in total—converging around a circular table, each holding steaming cups of coffee. Undoubtedly, this was a high-level meeting—an event that could summon all Executive-Level figures must be initiated by someone with Elderly-Level status. Under the amber chandelier, at the center of the round table, a fluffy golden Teddy Bear sat proudly and confidently, speaking clearly: "Everyone has arrived. I’ll keep it concise—what developments have you made recently concerning the death of the Eyes of Mystery Judge?" This was a senior official from the Hundred Flowers Association—the lead figure in the case of the Eyes of Mystery Judge. He oversees all Realm Walker teams across these four districts and is directly accountable to the Alliance’s leader, making him a true power figure. The other executives remained silent. The executive from Fenghui District raised her hand slightly, speaking softly: "Today, one of my subordinates successfully killed a Wu Gu Master—confirmed as someone under the King of Worms—and obtained a list from the spirit’s memory." She then shared the contents of the list. The young Teddy Bear named DouDou blinked with approval: "That's excellent. By the way, the Wu Gu Master’s spirit was unusually agitated—the Night Wandering Deity from Taiyi Gate requires substantial cost to conduct a questioning session; I’ll provide compensation accordingly." The Fenghui District executive nodded and added: "I believe the event involving Ou Xiangrong wasn’t accidental—it was a deliberate setup by the King of Worms, designed to alert us about the fall of the Eyes of Mystery Judge. The Wu Gu Master killed today is also one of the King’s subordinates—his intention appears to be leveraging our official capacity to uncover Black Unchanging." The King of Worms is the other vice-president of the Dong District Branch of the Spirit Energy Association—he has been competing with the Eyes of Mystery Judge for leadership over a long period. Their relationship has become fiercely antagonistic. "When shared goals align, anyone can become a friend—but the Fall of the Sacred Cup poses an enduring threat—it must be safeguarded by our official body and absolutely cannot fall into the hands of the King of Worms," DouDou said, gazing around at all present. "What further inputs do others have?" The executives silently recorded the list. One female executive frowned and said: "Case Zhao Yingjun warrants close attention—I recommend conducting a screening of all members in the Songhai Branch—including the Night Wandering Deity from Taiyi Gate—for potential hidden agents within the Spirit Energy Association." DouDou pondered for several seconds, then slowly nodded: "That would require the use of the 'Horse Emblem'—I’ll submit this request to the General." Having concluded the main points, the Teddy Bear turned his head and looked toward Fu Qingyang, who sat in a white suit, silent and composed. "I heard you recently recruited an exceptionally promising Night Wandering Deity—one who has successfully passed through the She Ling Tunnel?" Fu Qingyang nodded slightly and added: "Ou Xiangrong was also killed by him." DouDou said: "Recently, the Red Ying Elder from Taiyi Gate contacted me—she wished to transfer that Night Wandering Deity. I know that Sun Elder had previously expressed reluctance regarding this young person—but since the Five Elements Alliance and Taiyi Gate have a formal agreement in place, the responsibility now lies with the Red Ying Elder's management. In personnel matters, Sun Elder’s opinion is no longer binding… What do you think, Qingyang?" Fu Qingyang responded calmly: "Simply reject her request—should the Elder find it inconvenient, I will personally contact her." A member of the Hundred Flowers Association immediately smiled and said: "It's not a significant matter—having just one Night Wandering Deity transferred to Taiyi Gate is perfectly acceptable. The personal favor from Red Ying Elder is even more valuable. Moreover, since each district has a dedicated Night Wandering Deity on standby, they will be fully cooperative when needed, won’t you agree, Old Zhang?" Old Zhang refers to the executive from Fenghui District. The other executives remained silent, refraining from offering further opinions in this sensitive matter. Upon observing the group’s reactions, Old Zhang furrowed his brows and said: "Since it is under the responsibility of Fu Bai Fu Chang, I won’t offer any personal opinion on personnel shifts—but regarding the work attitude of the Night Wandering Deity from Taiyi Gate, I’d like to report this. The Wu Gu Master we killed today was not questioned by the Night Wandering Deity—she cited poor condition as a reason and refused cooperation. My subordinate Chief was unable to proceed; he had to request assistance from the Second Team in Kangyang District. Hah! They responded with no complaints at all—and that one is only at Level 1 as a Night Wandering Deity. In my opinion, there’s a difference between our own Night Wandering Deities and those from other organizations." Fu Qingyang paused, surprised—she hadn’t been aware of this incident. After hearing Old Zhang's account, several executives shared their views: "I think we should keep her—the Taiyi Gate doesn't lack a Night Wandering Deity at all." "Currently is a period of increased demand—we are more confident in our own people." The executive from the Hundred Flowers Association looked embarrassed and remained silent. DouDou nodded: "Therefore, we’ll retain her—the Red Ying Elder will be rejected. Qingyang—since you’re a peer of Sun Elder and have an established relationship with the Taiyi Gate’s Ling Jun, I’d like to ask that you personally welcome him upon his arrival in Songhai to assist us in tracking down Black Unchanging." Fu Qingyang nodded gently.
