How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 328: Inviting Hu Ya into Jiangcheng

Lin Xiaosu returned to the Detective Agency.

This time, going home has been the longest stay since the founding of the Detective Agency.

Miao Ruolan is feeling a bit unsettled.

He seems to be quite sweet on his little wife at home.

What should I do as the mistress?

But her tenderness and intelligence lie in the fact that she always positions herself very low.

Seeing him step into the Detective Agency, she still gently smiles at him.

Zhou Xi also routinely leaves the Detective Agency to head to her endless "Li Fang’s appointment".

This evening, Miao Ruolan had particularly deep doubts...

Logically, he should be quite drained being so sweet at home, yet he indulges in Miao Ruolan passionately, as if constantly stimulated, yet without truly being moved.

What’s going on?

With the sweetest feelings and waves of endless joy, she drifted into a blissful dream.

The next day, Lin Xiaosu told her, "Ruolan, I need to go to Jiangcheng, you drive me there!"

"Alright!"

Miao Ruolan happily drove the blue sedan from the Detective Agency, taking Lin Xiaosu to Jiangcheng.

En route to the highway entrance, Lin Xiaosu asked her to turn and take the old road.

Driving the old road takes them directly to Jiangcheng...

Miao Ruolan did not ask why.

Only Lin Xiaosu knows...

Why not take the convenient provincial bus but drive himself?

Why take the old road instead of the highway?

All because of one thing, Lin Xiaosu was tracing someone’s origins!

This person was a Li Tian Clan member who had come to Tashan one month ago to carry out a Li Tian Clan mission.

Fengcheng police didn’t find out where he came from.

Lin Xiaosu could find out.

He didn’t connect the dots the day after arriving at Tashan because his cultivation was stuck in a "breaking before the establishment" predicament.

He was not accustomed to fighting when his cultivation was at a low point.

The motto of Hidden Dragon 101 Base is "Even a lion fighting a rabbit must exert all its strength."

Fortunately, twenty days of delay didn’t sever the initial line.

His time-tracing ability can maintain tracking for two months; as long as this heavy ability remains, he can trace where the Li Tian Clan member from a month ago came from.

Upon arriving in Jiangcheng, Lin Xiaosu stretched his hands out, hugged Ruolan, and kissed her lips, "You head back now."

"Hmm!" Miao Ruolan gently wrapped her hands around his neck, "Be careful."

"Relax, I’m feeling quite expanded, I have a premonition that our Detective Agency’s account is about to receive more money."

Miao Ruolan giggled: "Only two months into the year, and 600,000 from 101 alone; it’s already surpassed last year’s total. Complete this mission and just return to retire."

She left, and Lin Xiaosu watched her go.

For an average person, what Miao Ruolan said indeed makes sense.

Someone calculated how much an average person could earn in a lifetime?

Some say two million, others say three million, while some argue earnings don’t have much reference value; the key is how much one can save—only about one in ten thousand can save a million before retirement. Responses vary widely, yet the bottom line is, those with assets over a billion are merely survivors of bias; most ordinary people will earn just a few million, with savings below a million.

If Lin Xiaosu considered himself an average person, opening the Detective Agency nearly a year, netting over ten million definitely counts as earning a lifetime’s worth and qualifies him to ponder retirement...

Moreover, Ruolan mentioned 600,000 for payments, not 500,000.

The Kun Cang 101 action paid 500,000; where did the other 100,000 come from?

That’s the reward for delivering the note from Saintess Qian Ling to Chang Ye.

Making a hundred thousand from a single note, at first glance, seems like easy money.

But looking beyond the surface to the essence.

A single note destroyed thirty-one hidden chess pieces meticulously set by Nine Headed Snake; let alone a hundred thousand, a million in rewards is deserving.

So, will Lin Xiaosu earn rewards in this operation?

That depends on what kind of fish he catches next.

During the daylight hours, Lin Xiaosu walked a long way down Jiangcheng’s streets...

In the afternoon, he entered a hotel.

Sitting in an elevator, he ascended to the eighth floor. Opening the window, he squinted while surveying the East Lake view outside, remarked how fine the spring light was, then made a call.

In a Southwest base, Hu Ya suddenly stood, staring at the phone in her hand, her expression somewhat strange.

Seemingly excited, yet hesitant.

"Whose call?" A beautiful woman in a white trench coat across from her raised her gaze; she is Xue Ying, Qianlong Gold Medal number 9. By logic, a Reserve Gold Medal upon formalization equals a fledgling eagle taking its flight; there’s no need for eagles to follow closely.

However, throughout Hu Ya’s journey, Xue Ying’s role has been quite complex.

A teacher, a sister, a close friend.

Even though this little fledgling can leave the nest, Xue Ying, as the eagle, still accompanies her on the final leg of her journey.

"It’s him! Lin Xiaosu!"

Xue Ying stepped forward, her face already excited: "Answer!"

Hu Ya took a deep breath, answered the call, and Lin Xiaosu’s familiar, relaxed voice came through: "I’m currently in Jiangcheng, East Lake’s spring light is beautiful. There’s a crowd rowing boats there, Hu Ya, care to join?"

Hu Ya slowly widened her eyes: "You called just to invite me to row boats?"

"Yes, if rowing isn’t thrilling enough, we could also fish."

"Fishing in East Lake?" A ripple crossed Hu Ya’s heart. She wasn’t foolish; she picked up something intriguing.

"Yes, though the lake surface is smooth as a mirror, the currents are turbulent. I have a hunch that the fish beneath are quite large!" Lin Xiaosu said.

Hu Ya raised her gaze, met Xue Ying’s serious look and her gentle nodding.

"Alright!" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"I’m in Donghu Hotel, Room 8018!" Lin Xiaosu’s call ended.

Hu Ya slowly put away her phone.

Xue Ying smiled: "Just days ago, you said when this mission concludes, initiate contact with him, yet he reached out first—seems like the heart speaks volumes! I’ll take you there!"

"Alright!"

The car sped off, Xue Ying and Hu Ya journeyed together to Jiangcheng.

Hu Ya’s heart surged with excitement.

And, she was a bit anxious.

Excitement, because she heard Lin Xiaosu’s meaning, fishing in East Lake was merely a call-out—the real meaning as part of Hidden Dragon is clear.

That means he has discovered some criminals hidden in Jiangcheng; he’s inviting her to assist in their capture.

This is precisely what she needs right now.

Because she is currently in her Gold Medal trial phase; achievements made in this phase, the merits earned, all influence her Gold Medal count.

If the achievements are great, the Gold Medal number will advance.

The count of Gold Medals acquired in the first phase is her starting point within Qianlong. The higher the starting point, the higher her platform.

This is the element of excitement.

And the anxiety...

Her anxiety stemmed from the sensitive realization that the small secret she guarded carefully might be unveiled today.

Lin Xiaosu must have discovered her true identity.

This invitation for action is based on her true identity.

From the moment the two would meet.

She, Li Diandian, and he, Lin Xiaosu, were no longer the countryside boy and girl from Old Tashan Village.

They have emerged from the tides of the era, facing evil hand in hand as Da Xia Night Watchman!
