How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 317: The Foreign Country Beauty Waited for Him for Over 1 Month
Chapter 317: Chapter 317: The Foreign Country Beauty Waited for Him for Over 1 Month
Is there any mystery behind the numbers?
Apparently, there is!
Lin Xiaosu has been dealing with Qianlong for quite some time now.
He knows that this iron rooster is not easy to pluck.
A typical task rewards a hundred thousand.
A slightly heavier task offers no more than two hundred thousand.
Even when he, with Chang Ye, ventured across nations into Fusang, causing the earth-shaking Fusang tsunami to seize the "Purple Devil Stone" critical to national communications, the reward was just a million.
The feat of hunting down the White clothed King with Blood Trace, something worthy of being recorded in Qianlong’s history and even earning the Qianlong Annual Medal, only fetched him "two hundred fifty".
All signs indicate that Qianlong’s cash rewards are indeed quite "stingy"—which is understandable since Qianlong represents the country, and the country’s rewards for talent never primarily emphasized economic incentives.
However, for this operation, Qianlong granted him a reward of 5 million.
million, in those large corporate companies, is really not much.
But in Qianlong’s history, it is unprecedented!
What does this signify?
Firstly, Qianlong takes the seizing of "Kun Cang Air Control" very seriously.
Secondly, this seriousness is a consensus from top to bottom—you can tell from the timing of the reward distribution. The Wuxiang Temple operation was last night, ending in the early hours, and Qianlong distributed the bonus by noon at 12 o’clock. This smooth process is unparalleled, reflecting four shining words: beyond dispute!
Very good, excellent!
Seizing Kun Cang Air Control is not the conclusion of the operation; it’s merely the beginning of a grand chess game. This big game requires Qianlong’s high attention and a non-controversial environment.
The 5 million reward is just icing on the cake for him.
But the 5 million reward landing in half a day gave him ample confidence...
"Brother Lin, it’s only been just over a month since the start of the year, and you’ve already achieved last year’s full business yield. Can I interview you, any thoughts?"
"My thoughts might be a bit punch-worthy..." Lin Xiaosu rubbed his chin and said, "I’m not interested in money."
Zhou Xi’s eyes gently turned: "Not interested in money, even if this Versailles is punch-worthy, I accept it... so here’s a new question: if a foreign little beauty travels far to come to you, are you interested?"
Lin Xiaosu’s eyes widened.
His gaze landed on Zhou Xi’s eyes, and there was a bit of mystery in Zhou Xiaomei’s eyes.
His gaze then fell on Miao Ruolan.
Miao Ruolan looked at him with a gentle smile: "I’ll just tell you directly, last time that Catherine came specifically to find you!"
"When did she arrive?" Lin Xiaosu’s heart slightly skipped.
"You had just left when she arrived, she couldn’t catch you, so she bought a small wooden house by Tashan Lake and stayed there!"
What?
Lin Xiaosu’s heart rippled slightly...
Catherine is here.
She came specifically to find him.
Failing to catch him, this girl actually bought a small wooden house by Tashan Lake and stayed there.
If it’s just the granddaughter of a foreign duke, Lin Xiaosu wouldn’t care.
But only he knows that the primordial spirit controlling this girl is an ancient great power.
The one looking for him is not a modern society’s noble young lady, but an ancient great power.
"Did she say what she came looking for me for?"
"No! She just came looking for you. We told her you were on a business trip, and she didn’t say much, just turned and went to Tashan Lake. Also, she didn’t speak English this time; her Chinese is actually very good," said Miao Ruolan.
"Moreover... her skills are quite high!" Zhou Xi said, "She even saved Zhou Mei’s life."
"Hmm? What’s the situation?"
Zhou Xi and Miao Ruolan took turns explaining to Lin Xiaosu...
After the start of the year, something both big and small happened in Fengcheng.
Considering the increasing number of tourists at Tashan, to ensure tourist safety, the government built a Tashan Police Station at the Tashan Peak.
Zhou Mei got promoted as the head of this police station.
A dozen days ago, a genetic person broke into the police station, injuring three people, and Zhou Mei had a fierce battle with this genetic person, but she was at a disadvantage, on the brink of danger.
It was then that Catherine appeared and subdued the genetic person with just a raise of her hand...
"Genetic person? What kind of genetic person?" Lin Xiaosu’s brow slightly furrowed.
"This genetic person’s genes are very peculiar, their hands and feet can turn into sharp claws, their hand can regenerate if chopped off," said Miao Ruolan.
Lin Xiaosu’s mind became as clear as snow.
The Tashan police station wasn’t an ordinary scenic area police station.
Its special mission is related to the ancient tower at Tashan.
After last year’s exotic beast incident at Tashan, he revealed this trump card.
Chief Zhang knows there’s an ancient formation under the stone tower, Zhou Mei knows too, and they reported this to Qianlong, who made a response.
This response plan was to establish a police station and assign special personnel to guard it.
To the outside, it’s just a scenic area police station, unremarkable.
The internal mission is to guard it!
Preventing the "Li Tian Clan" people from causing damage.
Serving in this police station is not something an ordinary person can handle, because the enemy it faces is non-human!
Zhou Mei was honored to be selected.
Because Zhou Mei has already mastered the basics of the "Rejuvenation Secret Technique."
She is an ancient martial cultivator.
Once Zhou Mei took over as the head of Tashan Police Station, sure enough, she faced the Li Tian Clan’s sabotage.
Although she had stepped into the door of ancient martial cultivation, her cultivation was still shallow, so she couldn’t match the destructors specially sent by the Li Tian Clan. At this critical moment, Catherine... no, Saintess Qian Ling made a move!
The incident has been spreading wildly in Fengcheng, with all kinds of interpretations in the public discourse.
But Lin Xiaosu quickly connected all the incidents and reconstructed the event chain in his mind...
"Little Su, are you going to meet her?" Miao Ruolan asked.
"I have to, but not today! It’s already dark..." Lin Xiaosu cast his eyes outside, the last glance skimming over the peak of Dangjia Mountain, indeed it was almost dark.
Zhou Xi said, "I’ve made an appointment with Li Fang to have dinner, Sister Lan, I won’t be back tonight."
She picked up a small bag and left the door.
Miao Ruolan’s face instantly turned red.
At some point, "I’ve made an appointment with Li Fang" seemed to have become a code between them.
When Lin Xiaosu returned home, Zhou Xi and Li Fang were "scheduled."
The entire detective agency was left with just the two of them.
At this moment, it was already spring.
Fengcheng is in the most intense season of spring.
However, the richest strand of spring was still on the second floor of the detective agency.
That night, the starlight was hazy in the sky.
Yishui was rushing outside the window.
Miao Ruolan was softly humming a happy tune, letting the spring water overflow the banks... fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
She didn’t ask Lin Xiaosu about the "high-speed train heading to spring" or what sceneries he witnessed along the way, simply because she never positioned herself as his girlfriend.
She didn’t want to put pressure on him.
Even during intimate moments, she never called him "husband"...
She also didn’t probe into his schedule.
Because she knew, his schedule intersected with Qianlong’s, related to the country. If she probed, he would be in a dilemma, so she asked nothing, and she didn’t even call or message him when he was on a business trip.
That’s Miao Ruolan.
On the journey of you traveling afar, she may not be there.
But as long as you turn around, she will certainly be there!
She is there, gently looking at you, smiling, smoothing away all your fatigue, letting you feel the serenity of a ship returning to port.
