Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#340 - Chapter 339 Chu Li

He asked Xiang Nanzhi, "What are you going out to do?"

"I need to replenish some revival beasts. I'm running low on life energy and I'm afraid it won't be enough."

"The Hunter Chamber of Commerce isn't open yet. Where are you going to buy revival beasts?"

Li Chenqiu spread out his hands: "I'm not playing the Chosen One right now. Do I need to buy revival beasts? Stealing is the normal operation."

...

The night breeze was cool, the air was slightly salty, and the sea waves were like silk.

Wen Renqing stood by the sea, his clear eyes reflecting the sparkling sea surface. He was like a reef, unmoving.

In the distance, Duan Xian held his phone to his ear, pacing back and forth anxiously.

"Still no news?"

"This is an order. Just execute it!"

"I don't want you to think, I want me to think. This matter is not up for discussion. Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find Li Chenqiu!"

Duan Xian hung up the phone and walked uneasily behind Wen Renqing: "Director..."

Wen Renqing said calmly: "Still no news of Li Chenqiu?"

Duan Xian shook his head with a troubled expression: "Still searching, I believe there will be news soon."

"Mm." Wen Renqing responded faintly.

Duan Xian lowered his head and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, Director. I didn't protect Li Chenqiu well. If I had..."

Wen Renqing raised his hand to interrupt Duan Xian: "It's not your fault. It was my poor planning that led to the ambush. You did a good job buying Li Chenqiu time to escape."

Duan Xian bit his lower lip and remained silent for a few seconds before saying solemnly: "Thank you for your understanding, Director. I will definitely find Li Chenqiu and bring him back to you safe and sound!"

Wen Renqing turned around and put his hand on Duan Xian's shoulder: "I believe in you."

Duan Xian looked up: "Director, the Yu'an Division is a little dissatisfied with you sneaking into the Southern Federation. Why don't you return to the Northern Federation first? I can handle things here."

Wen Renqing said indifferently: "It doesn't matter. Ignore the Yu'an Division. If they are dissatisfied with me... then let them be!"

Duan Xian nodded: "Understood!"

"By the way, send someone to keep an eye on Snow Dusk Valley."

"Keep an eye on Snow Dusk Valley?" Duan Xian looked puzzled: "Why keep an eye on Snow Dusk Valley?"

"The reason why Lu Xianshi was imprisoned is largely related to Snow Dusk Valley. I suspect he obtained something there that benefited the Takahashi Conglomerate but was detrimental to the Northern Federation. Keeping an eye on Snow Dusk Valley might reveal something..."

Wen Renqing paused, his eyebrows lowered slightly, and he continued:

"This morning, Takahashi Meshi said that Li Chenqiu took something from him. He even fought me over it, which is not in line with his calm nature.

There are only two possibilities for him to do such a thing: either he was forced to, or he had other motives.

I speculate that Li Chenqiu may have met Lu Xianshi and taken from Lu Xianshi the thing that the Takahashi Conglomerate has coveted for a long time. The timing also lines up. What do you think of my analysis?"

Wen Renqing stared at Duan Xian calmly.

Duan Xian said seriously: "Reasonable."

"I think so too." Wen Renqing turned around: "Now that Li Chenqiu's whereabouts are unknown, it's probably related to the Takahashi Conglomerate. I'll be watching Takahashi Meshi later. Try not to contact me if you don't need to."

Duan Xian said with concern: "Director, please be careful."

"Mm."

Wen Renqing was about to leave when he suddenly seemed to think of something, tilting his head and looking back.

"By the way, I have reported everything that happened today and my own guesses to the An Tong Division and the Academy. Someone from the Northern Federation should be coming in a few days. Remember to meet them."

"Ah, someone coming?" Duan Xian's expression was slightly surprised: "For Li Chenqiu?"

"Mainly to uncover the reason why the Takahashi Conglomerate imprisoned Lu Xianshi, and secondly to find Li Chenqiu and rescue Lu Xianshi. There may be a big shot coming this time, so remember to be cautious."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Renqing's figure gradually faded and merged into the night.

As Wen Renqing left, the gentleness and smile on Duan Xian's face gradually faded, his bright eyes diffused slightly, and the fear and ruthlessness hidden deep in his eyes overflowed from the corners.

Duan Xian walked forward a few steps and stopped, saying heavily: "Wen Renqing."

Having been lurking in the Star Plucking Academy for nearly ten years, Duan Xian was naturally not a fool, and naturally noticed Wen Renqing's suspicion of him.

The "other motives" he mentioned, wasn't he suspecting himself?

Asking him to send someone to keep an eye on Snow Dusk Valley was a kind of test.

If he discovered something but secretly concealed it, Duan Xian knew very well that Wen Renqing would definitely kill him without mercy.

Letting him be responsible for meeting the people from the Northern Federation was an even more blatant test.

Once he betrayed the secret to the Takahashi Conglomerate, the ending would be death!

"Sigh~~~"

Duan Xian sighed deeply, took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth, and took out a lighter to try to light it.

Click!

Whoosh—

The sea breeze blew, and the weak flame was extinguished.

...

"It's still more enjoyable to freeload!"

Li Chenqiu sat on the rooftop of a high-rise building, patting his stomach with satisfaction. Beneath his dangling feet were rows of low-rise buildings.

"I wonder what Xiang Nanzhi said." Li Chenqiu looked up at the starry sky.

Ding ling ling—

Just then, a sudden phone rang.

Li Chenqiu took out his phone from his pocket, glanced at the caller ID, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly. He swiped his finger and brought it to his ear: "Hello, how is it?"

"Since I personally took action, naturally there is no problem!"

Li Chenqiu asked expectantly: "How does the Underworld plan to help me?"

"How else can we help? You have to enter Snow Dusk Valley tonight. Even immortals can't make it in such a short time. The Underworld can only protect you and help you safely leave the Southern Federation after you get the Finishing Touch."

"Who's coming? Are they reliable?"

"I don't know, but they should be a little more reliable than me."

As soon as he said this, Li Chenqiu's heart, which had just been lowered, rose again.

A little more reliable than Xiang Nanzhi?

Xiang Nanzhi on the other end of the phone did not notice Li Chenqiu's abnormality, and said to himself: "I will send you your new identity later, remember to check it."

"New identity?"

"You are appearing as King Chu Jiang of the Underworld, you can't use this face!"

"Can't I use Disaster Water's face?"

"Are you afraid that others won't know that Li Chenqiu and Disaster Water have a close relationship?"

"Not bad, after being with me for a long time, your IQ has been subtly improved!"

"Li Chenqiu, you spec..."

Beep—

Li Chenqiu hung up the phone directly.

One minute later.

Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong—

A series of message notification sounds rang.

Li Chenqiu selectively ignored the sixty-second voice message and clicked on the folder below.

Soon, the phone interface flashed and automatically jumped to the browser.
