Yan Xiao glanced to the side.
The sauna owner was frozen against the wall, mouth open, eyes wide, staring at the dead beast in his pool and the young man standing calmly beside it.
"The monster is dealt with," Yan Xiao said simply.
After regaining his senses, the sauna owner quickly ran forward, looking at Yan Xiao with gratitude.
"Thank you, sir, for dealing with this monster!"
"If you hadn't arrived in time, my place would have been completely ruined!"
Yan Xiao smiled slightly upon hearing this.
He waved his hand, indicating it was nothing.
"Um…"
"Sir, this is the highest-grade VIP card for my sauna. All your future expenses here will be free!"
At this moment, the sauna owner respectfully handed Yan Xiao a black card.
Yan Xiao: ???
What does that mean?
Are you testing cadres with this? Which cadre can withstand such a test?
He didn't bother with too many pleasantries; the mission target had been killed, and it was time for him to leave.
After all, he still had to go eat dinner!
However, as he left, a corner of the black card inexplicably peeked out from his pocket.
Not long after Yan Xiao left, Su Qinghe, covered in dust, arrived at the sauna.
However…
When she once again saw the mutated beast that had already been killed, she couldn't maintain her composure.
The mission target had been snatched again!
"Excuse me, are you…?"
The sauna owner looked at Su Qinghe, whose expression was not very good, and asked tentatively.
"Realm Guard — Su Qinghe!"
Su Qinghe replied coldly.
She quickly walked over, knelt on the ground, and inspected the mutated beast's corpse.
Such a smooth cut!
And it was exactly the same as in the morning — again a one-hit kill!
"Realm Guard?"
"Didn't a Realm Guard just leave? Why is there another one…"
The sauna owner was a bit confused.
"Just left?"
Su Qinghe caught this information.
So she asked the owner, and after getting the direction Yan Xiao had left in, she hurriedly chased after him.
Only the confused owner was left.
As well as the Crimson Winged Serpent's corpse…

Leaving the sauna,
Yan Xiao began looking for a place to eat.
There were many restaurants on this street, making it difficult for him to decide for a moment.
"Should I eat pork leg rice…"
"Or braised chicken with rice…"
But Yan Xiao didn't notice.
His shoes were stained with a little Crimson Winged Serpent blood.
Not long after Yan Xiao left,
Su Qinghe, tracking the scent of blood, appeared at the spot where he had just been.
Yue Lai Xuan — Happiness Arrives Pavilion.
It was the best-rated and most affordable restaurant on the nearby street.
Yan Xiao decided.
He would treat himself there tonight.
"Yan Xiao?!"
As soon as he entered the restaurant, before he could even choose a seat, he heard someone call him.
He turned his head.
At a nearby table, Qin Yue and her best friend An Lusi were actually sitting there.
And the one who had just called him was An Lusi.
"What a coincidence. Are you two also here to eat?"
Yan Xiao asked calmly.
"Yes, I didn't expect to run into you here!"
An Lusi smiled and nodded.
However…
Looking at Yan Xiao's calm expression, she felt that he seemed a bit different from a few days ago.
Meanwhile, Qin Yue, seeing Yan Xiao, couldn't help but frown.
She had thought Yan Xiao wouldn't bother her anymore.
But she didn't expect him to reappear, shamelessly, after only a few days of peace.
And with this old-fashioned "accidental encounter" trick.
No!
She couldn't give him any false hope.
Qin Yue looked at Yan Xiao expressionlessly and said, "Yan Xiao, I already made it very clear that day!"
"We are not from the same world. I hope you can face reality and stop pestering me, okay?"
Yan Xiao: ???
Hearing this while chatting with An Lusi, his face was full of black question marks.
What the hell?
I just came to eat.
Do you really think you're instant noodles — everyone wants to soak you?
Woman, you're thinking too much!
Just as Yan Xiao was about to retort a few words and tell her not to be so brainless, Su Qinghe appeared.
"Is it him?"
Looking at the ordinary-looking, handsome young man in front of her, Su Qinghe was a bit unsure.
From his appearance and attire,
he didn't match the descriptions of other witnesses at all.
But!
Her sharp eyes caught a distinct shadow on his shoes.
Based on the scent emanating from him and the description of his appearance by the sauna owner, this young man in front of her matched.
"You… come with me!"
After a moment of hesitation, Su Qinghe still stepped forward and said to Yan Xiao.
And showed him her ID.
"Realm Guard Division?!"
Yan Xiao's eyebrows raised when he saw the ID.
How did people from this organization find him?
He was a law-abiding, decent person with no bad habits, known as Chengdu's most honest man.
How did he provoke this powerful Realm Guard?
After a moment of thought, he still followed behind Su Qinghe and walked out.
After all, the other person was a Realm Guard.
Not only was her own strength formidable, but her authority was also immense.
He, a lone bachelor, couldn't contend with that.
"Huh?"
Watching Yan Xiao leave with a beautiful woman who was no less attractive than her best friend, An Lusi felt a bit indignant.
"Qin Yue, this Yan Xiao is too much!"
"He's still pursuing you, yet he's also flirting with other girls. What a terrible guy!"
"Huh? Qin Yue, what's wrong with you?"
After chattering for a while, An Lusi finally noticed that her best friend was acting strange.
At this moment,
Qin Yue looked in the direction Yan Xiao and the other woman had left, her eyes somewhat dazed.
That girl just now…
If she wasn't mistaken,
that girl's battle armor had the exclusive emblem of the Realm Guard Division imprinted on it.
Which means…
That girl was a Realm Guard!
There was no mistake.
For Qin Yue, who aspired to join the Realm Guard Division, she definitely hadn't misidentified her.
This was also what she couldn't understand.
Why would a high-ranking Realm Guard come looking for Yan Xiao?
And judging by the girl's demeanor, she seemed to care a lot about Yan Xiao…
At this moment!
Qin Yue's heart was in turmoil.

Meanwhile, in the Capital — River Sand District
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Chu Family was oppressive. Although it was a family meeting, there wasn't the slightest sense of joy or happiness.
"Will Hanli, that girl, still not change her mind?" After remaining silent for some time, a fifty-year-old or so man sitting at the top seat knocked the table and asked. He was the current head of the Chu Family, Chu Zhongli, and the eldest son of the old man Chu. He was also the governor of the River Sand District.
With River Sand being such a huge international city, a district governor was already better received than some vice state governors from other states. But in a place like River Sand, a district governor wasn't anything. With the old man Chu retiring and him being also in his fifties, district governor would be the final destination of his career if nothing magical happened.
"Big brother, it isn't up to her now. If we have a marriage alliance with the Mo Family, not only will our business see immediate success, but big brother might also have the possibility to advance in his career," the middle-aged man sitting by Chu Zhongli's right-hand side spoke quickly with an excited tone.
Chu Zhongli sighed and waved his hand: "Zhongsan, I understand what you mean. Although having a marriage alliance with the Mo Family is definitely beneficial to our Chu Family, Mo Yuan cannot be relied upon... Sigh, I think we should discuss this thing with Third Brother. After all, Hanli is his daughter."

On the street…
Yan Xiao and Su Qinghe walked side by side.
As he walked aimlessly forward, he observed the Realm Guard.
Putting everything else aside…
Just her looks, her figure…
They were truly impressive!
Her skin was fair and delicate like jade, and her features were exquisite.
Especially in the form-fitting battle armor, Su Qinghe's curvaceous figure was perfectly outlined.
Hmm…
Very pleasing to the eye~
And she would definitely be able to bear sons!
After a long silence, Su Qinghe asked her first question.
"What is your name?"
Yan Xiao was a bit bewildered by the question.
No, is the Realm Guard Division's intelligence so outdated now?
They actively sought him out, yet didn't know his name…
Are they kidding?
The Realm Guard Division's intelligence was so powerful.
They could even find out what he ate yesterday and when he ate it.
Now they don't know his name?
He grumbled to himself, but…
Yan Xiao still replied, "My name is Yan Xiao!"
