Chapter 120 Elder Sun: Have Yuan Ting come see me
Jiang Yuer didn't knock on the door, lowered her voice, and said sneakily outside the door.
Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath, suppressed the negative emotions in his heart, rubbed his face, and said in a low voice, "Come in."
The doorknob turned, opening a crack, and Auntie tiptoed in sneakily, quickly closing the door.
Jiang Yuer was wearing a white nightgown with lace around the neckline. Under the knee-length hem were two sections of jade-like calves. Her exquisite jade feet stepped on pink slippers, and her toes were round and delicate, painted with bright red nail polish.
"So sneaky," Zhang Yuanqing said unhappily.
He thought, if I didn't know better, I'd think you were having an affair.
It's worth mentioning that after the events of the day, the attending doctors on duty that day were given a week-long vacation.
After Auntie returned home, she exaggerated her experience of the crisis, hugged her grandmother and sobbed, saying: I almost didn't see my mother again!
Grandma was frightened, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.
Auntie thus gained her grandmother's pity, and her tolerance for her increased greatly. No matter how much she acted up, her grandmother couldn't bear to scold her.
Jiang Yuer, in her slippers, trotted to the bedside, sat down with her arms crossed, and asked quietly, "Where did you go later? After the police rushed in, I couldn't find you anywhere."
When the police rescued the hostages, Zhang Yuanqing had already been taken away for treatment by Li Dongze and others.
Zhang Yuanqing looked at Auntie. Her eyes were bright, and her expression revealed anticipation and excitement, like a little girl who had discovered a secret.
What a naive Auntie... Zhang Yuanqing sighed in his heart, his face serious, and said:
"It seems that my identity can't be hidden anymore. To tell you the truth, I am actually a member of the national superpower special forces team, specializing in dealing with some evil people lurking in the dark. I am a student during the day, and I wander the streets of the city at night, punishing evil and promoting good."
"Superpower special forces team?" Jiang Yuer covered her mouth with her small hand, exclaiming in a low voice.
Zhang Yuanqing: "Yes, in fact, there are many superpowered people in the world. For the harmony and stability of society, we have to hide our identities and become unsung heroes. In fact, I awakened a long time ago and joined the superpower special forces team, becoming a member of the unsung heroes. According to the organization's regulations, I am not allowed to reveal my identity, but since Auntie you have already discovered my identity, I can only be honest with you. You must keep it a secret."
Auntie nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand. I signed a confidentiality agreement today."
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, but then her brows furrowed, and she showed a worried look: "Yuanzi, this superpower special forces team, it looks very dangerous."
"Don't worry!" Zhang Yuanqing hummed:
"Don't look at me as young, I am actually a very high-level member. The entire Songhai superpower special forces department has to respect my opinions and listen to my command. You also saw that today's matter was all handled by me alone."
"Are you so powerful?" Auntie was relieved and full of admiration.
It was as if she had reacquainted herself with her nephew.
Zhang Yuanqing remained calm on the surface, but he was very enjoying Auntie's worship in his heart.
"Can I awaken too?" Jiang Yuer asked with longing.
...Zhang Yuanqing shook his head: "It's not me bragging, awakening depends on talent. Only people with extraordinary talents like me can awaken, and those who haven't awakened after the age of eighteen are basically talentless."
After speaking, he saw Auntie pouting her cheeks, revealing a disappointed expression.
"You're really amazing..." Jiang Yuer said admiringly.
She believed everything. I saw worship and admiration in her eyes. Haha, no wonder those charlatans can swindle money... Zhang Yuanqing coughed and said:
"You must not leak it out. It's very dangerous to be in our line of work. We have to be on guard against the revenge of evil people at all times. If we leak our identities, it will affect our families."
"Like drug enforcement officers?"
"Yes."
Auntie asked a lot of questions, and Zhang Yuanqing answered fluently and dealt with them calmly. Auntie asked him to perform superpowers, but Zhang Yuanqing refused sternly, saying: A big shot once said - superpowers are not a circus, we only strike hard against evil people.
Well, that big shot is me!
"What about the salary and benefits?" Auntie asked almost everything, and when she remembered that she hadn't asked about the salary, she quickly added.
Speaking of this, Zhang Yuanqing became excited, thinking that he had a huge sum of more than two million in his pocket, but he had no one to show off to.
He deliberately said in a slow tone:
"The income is still good. I only used five short months this year to earn five million."
Praise me, worship me! He whispered in his heart.
Auntie exclaimed in surprise: "Five million? Then if you save for a few years, you will be richer than your aunt!"
Zhang Yuanqing said sternly:
"In our line of work, money is secondary. The main thing is to serve the country and benefit the people."
Auntie said happily: "Then I can spend your money in the future, anyway, you don't have a girlfriend."
Woman, you're dreaming! Zhang Yuanqing chuckled: "That won't work. My money is to be used to benefit the people, not to buy you clothes and bags."
"Cheapskate!"
"Woman, watch your tone. Sitting next to you is a millionaire."
Jiang Yuer stayed in his room until two o'clock in the morning before reluctantly leaving.
Phew, finally got through it! Zhang Yuanqing manifested himself in front of Auntie, gaining worship and admiration. His mood was inexplicably better, and the depression left by today's defeat dissipated unconsciously. He only felt relaxed all over.
Sure enough, people still have to show off. Showing off can relieve suffering... He covered himself with the air-conditioned quilt, brewing sleepiness. Tomorrow, I will see that little green tea. This kind of "comforting" people still has to be done by her. Heh, I just don't know if the Xie family will change their attitude towards me because of Li Xianzong's matter.
I still have to go to the unit these few days, but I have to go in disguise. I have to learn fighting skills from Guan Ya. I haven't had time or motivation. I can't delay any longer...
Before the third instance opens, I must improve my fighting skills. When I come back, I will kill Li Xianzong... I hope Elder Gou can bring back the Red Shoes as soon as possible...
Thinking about it, he fell into a deep sleep.
In the early morning of Beijing, the first rays of sunlight sprinkled down, and the pagoda tree in the courtyard stretched in the morning light, its tender green leaves shimmering with colorful halos.
The breeze was gentle, the branches and leaves swayed, making the sound of children laughing and playing.
The deck chair under the pagoda tree was empty, and its owner had not taken a nap under the tree for many days.
Suddenly, the scenery of the courtyard twisted, presenting a wavy shape, and then, a figure appeared out of thin air on the deck chair.
This person had gray hair, a white undershirt, and shorts, no different from ordinary Beijing old men.
But after he appeared, the skin around his body cracked, and streams of hot golden light spurted out of his body, from his pupils, mouth, and nostrils.
The old man's body quickly carbonized, turning into a charred corpse in a few seconds.
The scorching golden light charred the leaves of the pagoda tree, causing the "children" hidden in the tree to make bursts of panicked and frightened cries.
A dozen seconds later, the charred corpse opened its eyes, and the carbonized skin fell off piece by piece, revealing newborn tender red flesh.
The heart in his chest beat again, and Elder Sun slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, saying:
"Go get me clothes, you ignorant kids."
A gust of wind窜 out of the treetop, pushed open the window, and soon, the wind rolled out an undershirt, underwear, and shorts, swaying.
Elder Sun shook off the carbonized flesh and blood, changed into clean clothes, and said again: "Go find Little Wang."
The wind that rolled up the clothes did not leave, but returned to the treetop, and then a childish quarrel came from the lush branches and leaves:
"You go, it's your turn."
"I'm not going..."
A few seconds later, one side compromised and turned into a gust of wind飄 out of the courtyard.
Elder Sun lay on the rocking chair,闭目养神, his face slightly pale and his eyes puffy.
A few minutes later, footsteps hurried over. A middle-aged man in black clothes and trousers, led by the wind, stepped over the threshold and entered the courtyard.
"Elder Sun, you're finally out," Little Wang said in surprise.
Elder Sun said "Hmm": "Contact Elder Gou of the Songhai branch, I have something to ask him."
Among the five major organizations of the Five Elements Alliance, the Hundred Flowers Association and the Taiyi Sect are the closest, so Elder Gou and Elder Sun are usually very close.
"Elder Gou is in Beijing. He came yesterday and is waiting for you."
Elder Sun opened his eyes, "He's in Beijing? Go invite him over." The middle-aged man in black retreated. About half an hour later, a curly-haired teddy bear, striding elegantly, with its head held high, arrived at the courtyard.
The middle-aged man followed behind, holding a silver tray in both hands, on which was placed a pair of gray and dilapidated red dancing shoes, like rags abandoned by their owner for many years.
"I calculated that you should be coming out of the Lingjing these days," Elder Gou scrutinized him and said in surprise:
"You're seriously injured, do you need me to help you heal?"
Elder Sun would of course not let go of the opportunity to use a recovery術士, and said: "I'm troubled! Haha, although Night Wanderers have good self-healing abilities, the injuries I suffered this time are a little different."
The teddy bear nodded slightly, slowly walked to the rocking chair, raised a paw, and pressed it on Elder Sun's leg.
Bright but not dazzling green light rose, dyeing the courtyard with a layer of bright green. Elder Sun,沐浴 in the green light, gradually turned rosy, and his puffy eyes disappeared.
"Hu..."
Elder Sun breathed comfortably and said, "It's okay, you came to Beijing to ask me for something?"
Elder Gou put down his paw and said lightly, "It's not asking, just asking you to do me a small favor. Treating you just now is considered payment."
As he said that, he looked back and motioned for the middle-aged man to come over.
The latter stepped forward holding the tray, and Elder Gou said, "This prop is contaminated with Witchcraft."
Elder Sun stared at the red dancing shoes, feeling inexplicably familiar, but couldn't tell what it was.
"Easy!"
Without thinking too much, Elder Sun stretched out his hand, his palm hovering above the red dancing shoes, and a clear and hot golden light spurted out. The red dancing shoes, bathed in the golden light, twisted, and the gray color covering the exterior, like stains being washed away, quickly peeled off.
A few seconds later, it became brand new again.
The red dancing shoes jumped off the tray happily and bounced around the courtyard.
It's quite lively, it's a prop with self-awareness... Elder Sun initially thought it was expressing the joy of "getting out of trouble", until he saw a message floating above the red dancing shoes: [Would you like to dance with me? If so, please mark time.]
[Huh, where is everyone?]
He suddenly realized that these shoes were looking for someone, but didn't find the target, so they were running around in the courtyard.
At the same time, Elder Sun finally understood why he felt familiar. These shoes were the rule-type prop from the Sheling Tunnel, in line with the records in the old version of the guide.
In other words, its owner is The Way of the Extraordinary!
Elder Sun withdrew his gaze and looked at the teddy bear, saying in a deep voice:
"Are these shoes The Way of the Extraordinary's?"
Elder Gou nodded.
"I was about to find your Five Elements..." Elder Sun worded it, saying: "In the Night Wanderer's exclusive Lingjing, I met the Lady of Three Paths Mountain, who was the one who injured me."
Elder Gou raised the hair on his eyes.
"That Lady is very powerful, I almost didn't come back, but I also gained a lot. I probably know why she is looking for The Way of the Extraordinary," Elder Sun感慨 said:
"That kid took away the Lady of Three Paths Mountain's Yang Soul. Without that part of the Yang Soul, she can't continue to advance, let alone break through the Lingjing."
Elder Gou's face showed a human-like transformation, shocked, stunned, and ecstatic.
That kid actually controls the Yang Soul of an ancient Day Wanderer...
This is something that most rule-type props cannot compare to.
Elder Sun coughed and went straight to the point: "The Lady of Three Paths Mountain will definitely try her best to retrieve the Yang Soul. The Way of the Extraordinary's level is too low to bear this cause and effect. The Taiyi Sect is willing to trade, and you can name the conditions."
Elder Gou was silent.
Elder Sun frowned, a little surprised: "You don't want to? The Five Elements Alliance doesn't have Night Wanderers. Giving her Yang Soul to you is not of much use. You can't even see her."
"We don't need it, but The Way of the Extraordinary can. Keeping the Lady of Three Paths Mountain's Yang Soul will naturally allow him to bear this cause and effect when he becomes the Dominator in the future," Elder Gou said.
Elder Sun looked stunned: "Do you have such high expectations for him? Do you know how difficult it is to advance to the Dominator?"
"Sigh!" Elder Gou sighed: "He is the key training target of the Five Elements Alliance. As long as he passes the physical examination, we will cultivate him at all costs."
"Why..." Elder Sun couldn't understand.
Elder Gou said: "Because he has passed two S-level Lingjings, and because he was awarded an A-level Merit Medal a few days ago. Moreover, with this cause and effect, isn't he more worthy of cultivation?"
Elder Sun was stunned. He stared at Elder Gou: "A-level Merit Medal, are you kidding me?"
With the difficulty of an A-level Merit Medal, it must be the beheading of a Dominator-level evil Profession, or the resolution of a huge crisis, or the seizure of an important prop. And to be able to do these, only长老 of the same Dominator level can do it.
How can a low-level practitioner do it?
Elder Gou glanced at him and said with some pity: "Old Sun, you're confused!"
What am I confused about? Elder Sun didn't understand. He felt familiar with this sentence again for no reason. Just as he was about to ask, the red dancing shoes walked over and stopped in front of the rocking chair.
A message appeared:
[Would you like to dance with me? If so, please mark time.]
...Elder Gou's dog face suddenly froze.
Elder Sun's Spirit returned to its place, opened his eyes, and said戏谑ly: "I didn't expect to have the honor to admire your dance姿, I can give you a dance's time."
Elder Gou sneered: "It seems that I don't have any means. Can these dancing shoes hurt me at all? Alright, the matter of me coming to Beijing has been resolved, it's time to return to Songhai. I won't agree to give you the Lady of Three Paths Mountain's Yang Soul, unless the Alliance Leader agrees."
He snorted coldly, took elegant steps, bore the踏 of feet, and left quickly.
Watching the Teddy disappear outside the courtyard door, Elder Sun withdrew his gaze, frowned and pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked:
"What happened during my absence? How was that The Way of the Extraordinary awarded an A-level Merit Medal?"
The black-clothed middle-aged man, while幸 that those shoes didn't lock onto him, told Elder Sun about what had happened recently.
《Gene Age》
"So that's it," Elder Sun suddenly realized, 慨 said: "That kid's growth rate surprised me, it was a mis...not fighting for him then..."
He suddenly愣, and understood a little what Elder Gou meant by "confused".
Elder Sun was silent for a moment, and cautiously said:
"Has there been any rumors about me in the sect recently?"
The black-clothed middle-aged man looked纠结. Under Elder Sun's gaze, he had no choice but to take out his phone, open the Night Wanderer's official website, enter "Elder Sun is Confused!" in the search box.
And then小心翼翼地 handed the phone over: "Read it yourself."
Elder Sun, half疑惑 and half凝重, took the phone. When he looked closely, he saw that in the forum, there were more than two hundred posts with the "Elder Sun is Confused" entry.
The hand of this德高望重的长老 trembled slightly.
He pulled the screen and quickly scanned those posts. All of them were accusing Elder Sun of being confused and missing talents. Gradually, "Elder Sun is Confused" became a special term for the Taiyi Sect Night Wanderer to express their pain.
When you are in a bad mood, when you are heartbroken, when you are angry, just say: "Elder Sun is Confused!"
Elder Sun's hand trembled even more violently.
He looked down again and found that the first dozens of "Elder Sun is Confused" actually originated from the same person, the same name:
Yuan Ting!
"Bold! These damn things, they dare to编排 me in the forum."
"Not exactly..." said the middle-aged man in black.
"Huh?" Elder Sun looked at him.
"They're编排ing you in the chat group too."
"Elder Sun was勃然大怒: "Summon Yuan Ting to me. If I don't see him tonight, I'll personally go to Songhai and break his dog legs."
"Elder Sun is Confused!"
In the Night Wanderer chat group, Yuan Ting habitually发表 an emotion, and then discussed:
"I think that although The Way of the Extraordinary almost惨死 in Li Xianzong's hands yesterday, it doesn't mean that his potential is not good. We all know how big the difference is between Level 2 and Level 3, not to mention that Li Xianzong has experienced more Lingjings and has more props."
Jian Ji: "Yuan Ting, you also have to be careful. If Li Xianzong can't find The Way of the Extraordinary, he will try to hunt other Level 3 practitioners. You are a Night Wanderer, your bounty will be higher than other orderly Professions."
Yuan Ting: "Hehe, I will let him know how powerful a Level 3 Night Wanderer is."
Just as they were chatting, the incoming call display replaced the group chat界面.
"Executive Wang is looking for me?"
Looking at the name on the note, Yuan Ting愣 a bit. Executive Wang is Elder Sun's assistant and confidant, and he doesn't have much intersection with him.
Although everyone exchanged contact information, there wouldn't be an opportunity to talk on the phone for the entire year.
Yuan Ting answered the call and said, "Executive Wang, what do you need me to do."
Executive Wang's low voice came through the speaker: "Yuan Ting, Elder Sun is out. He knows about your 编排ing him, and is very生气. He点名道姓 wants to see you."
"Ah, what can I say...sigh, good luck."
"I'm still in time to write a will now..." Yuan Ting felt that he was petrifying little by little, with a full face of hopeless love.
ps:糟糕, the work and rest are亂 again. Sleep and sleep, wrong words will be changed tomorrow.
