After hanging up the phone, Tang Miao turned around and returned to the Qingtian Hunter Agency.
However, by the time he returned, the person had already left, leaving behind a 300,000 deposit. That was 150,000 upfront!
Seeing Tang Miao return, Old Man Bao chuckled, "Kid, that's great. You just got here and already have a job. But, let this old man give you a warning, the waters in this city run deep. Just do your part and don't delve too deep, it won't be good for you."
"Don't worry, Old Man Bao, I'm not so foolish as to earn money that I can't live to spend," Tang Miao replied. Then, looking at Lingling, he asked, "Where is the person we need to protect?"
Lingling was quite pleased with Tang Miao's attitude. As long as they were hunting demons, she wouldn't have to sit bored at school. Her little brain had completely mastered the nine-year compulsory education. All she needed now was to wait for her sixteenth birthday.
She then pulled out a photo of a beautiful woman, who appeared to be a student. She didn't look very old, probably around seventeen or eighteen.
"This chest… ahem, this girl is still a student, right?" Seeing Lingling's disdainful gaze, Tang Miao quickly corrected himself.
Lingling nodded, then added, "She's a student at Tianxing Magic High School. She's usually always at the academy. We'll go directly to her campus. She should be in class right now!"
"Alright," Tang Miao nodded, then pulled Lingling out of the Qingtian Hunter Agency.
Old Man Bao watched Tang Miao and Lingling leave, still a little worried. After all, judging by what the other party said, it seemed that the mischievous entity was likely the work of those who operated in the shadows.
If he wasn't mistaken, he was genuinely afraid that Tang Miao wouldn't be able to handle it. He then sighed, "Alas, I'm old, I'm old, and still have endless worries." After stepping out, he locked the door and left… Two hours later, Tang Miao and Lingling arrived at Tianxing Magic High School.
The person they were protecting this time was named Liu Ying. She was a third-year student at the magic high school, which was considered a top-tier magic high school.
The academy had over 60,000 students… It could almost be said that this small high school had a student population comparable to a university.
The campus was always full of youthful vitality. Not all students, like them, had already experienced various terrifying demon incidents by the time they were in high school.
Without experiencing the fear of demons, and without being tainted by society, the entire magic campus always maintained a sense of purity, and everything was full of hope and anticipation.
Tang Miao and Lingling were stunned after entering the academy. The place was simply too big, and they only knew the girl's name, nothing else.
Fortunately, Lingling, the computer genius, pulled out her laptop and, after a flurry of searching, finally got some leads.
The two then headed towards the girl's classroom, and on their way to find her, they coincidentally ran into two familiar faces!
"Sister Mu, look, it's that pervert~!"
Walking towards them were Ai Tutu and Mu Nujiao, whom they had met once before.
Hearing Ai Tutu's address, Lingling looked at Tang Miao with even more disdain. Tang Miao said helplessly, "Hey, Big Rabbit, watch your language, I'm not deaf!"
The two walked over, and Mu Nujiao asked curiously, "Why are you at our academy?"
Although they weren't close, they had met once, and now that Ai Tutu was being so impolite, Mu Nujiao came over to ask.
And Ai Tutu, hearing Tang Miao's address, paused, then asked, "How do you know my nickname?"
Tang Miao ignored her and looked at Mu Nujiao, saying, "My name is Tang Miao, and she's Lingling. We're here to find someone named Liu Ying."
Ai Tutu looked at Tang Miao warily, then said, "Why are you looking for Liu Ying? She already has a boyfriend!"
She already understood why Tang Miao had called her that just now, but she didn't really object. After all, the goods were there, and that part was something many women longed for but couldn't have!
"We were entrusted by her father to protect her…" Tang Miao didn't hide anything and directly explained the whole story. Lingling initially wanted to stop him, but after Tang Miao signaled that it was fine, she didn't object anymore.
After all, this was their academy. These two girls might be able to help.
Mu Nujiao knew this Liu Ying and thought for a moment, saying, "Liu Ying, like us, comes here every day to study magic, even though it's summer vacation. It seems she's going to Europe to study after the summer vacation, but other than that, nothing seems different."
Ai Tutu also nodded, "Yeah, she hasn't been doing anything special lately… Oh, that's right! She recently got a boyfriend, he's quite handsome, but he's a commoner."
Mu Nujiao rolled her eyes at Ai Tutu, as if scolding her, 'This is her private business, why are you telling him?'
Tang Miao asked again, "Has she always had a boyfriend?"
Ai Tutu stuck out her tongue, but when she heard Tang Miao's question, she immediately blurted out, "No. She just started dating him a few days ago, I think?"
But after she finished speaking, she realized something was off!
It seemed like whatever Tang Miao asked, she would answer?
Mu Nujiao also looked at Tang Miao with a helpless and somewhat puzzled expression, feeling suspicious, as it was strange for Tang Miao to inquire about this matter!
Tang Miao then looked at Lingling and asked, "When did her father say he noticed the abnormality?"
"Just in the last few days."
Even as Tang Miao was asking Mu Nujiao and the other girl, Lingling had also simultaneously sensed that something was amiss.
"I think, if what her father said is true, then this girl is either overworked every night, or she's encountered a demon!"
Ai Tutu took a step back in disgust, then said, "You pervert, what are you thinking about all day!?"
Mu Nujiao and Lingling also looked at him with some disdain. Tang Miao shrugged, then said, "I'm just stating the facts. Why don't you take me to identify her? If we follow her tonight, we'll know."
Mu Nujiao hesitated, somewhat disbelieving, "Are you really commissioned?"
Tang Miao knew the dark history of these two girls, which was why he dared to ask them for help. As a result, they actually doubted him!
Was he the kind of man who would pick every wild flower?
The key was, even if he wanted to, he wouldn't dare to find someone he knew! Lingling, that little girl, knew Tang Yue. What if they talked things through one day, wouldn't he be asking for trouble… "I… you should know, right?" Tang Miao gave Mu Nujiao a dirty look, then looked at Lingling and said, "Show these two losers your hunter's license."
Lingling pouted upon hearing this. After all, their protection should be covert. Others shouldn't know about it, especially unfamiliar people, to avoid trouble. However, she still pulled out something resembling a police badge from her pocket and placed it in front of the two girls.
She felt that although Tang Miao was a novice, he wouldn't be so naive as to trust everyone he met, right? Moreover, the girl's situation was clearly somewhat unusual.
The two girls looked at the badge curiously, and after seeing the pattern, they were both stunned!
"Hunter Master!?"
Who would have thought that a little loli would actually be a Hunter Master!?
The hunter badges issued by the Hunter's Alliance cannot be faked, and they are tied to identity. The hunter badge the little girl took out was indeed real. The problem was that the two girls simply couldn't believe that a ten-year-old girl was a master who had hunted countless demons.
However, with the evidence right there, the two girls naturally couldn't doubt anything anymore. Plus, they also knew Tang Miao, or rather, almost all students and some members of prominent families had some impression of Tang Miao.
Just like Mu Nujiao's family, they had even invited Tang Miao… "Now, can you two take us to find her?"
Although Tang Miao was a novice hunter, with Lingling around, leveling up was a piece of cake.
Mu Nujiao nodded, "Alright, come with us."
Ai Tutu, being somewhat scatterbrained, followed Lingling, asking questions, but the little tsundere didn't pay much attention… PS: Regarding updates, before it goes on sale, there will be two regular updates daily.
