Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At first, Su Bancheng did not understand the meaning of this sentence.
But…
He quickly understood why Su Meng said that only Mengmeng could consume this pill.
The Essence Replenishing Pill was to repair one’s foundation.
The Foundation Establishment Pill could instantly build a foundation.
In a single sentence.
Although the Essence Replenishing Pill and the Foundation Establishment Pill required the same medicinal ingredients, the medicinal effects of the two were different.
The two of them were different medicinal pills.
100% Essence Replenishing Pill.
This was the official name of the medicinal pills in Mengmeng’s hands.
The Foundation Establishment Pill was just an alias to prove that he had the effect of building a foundation.
However, if a person whose innate foundation was not damaged consumed this 100% Essence Replenishing Pill, there would only be one outcome.
When the energy expanded, while building the foundation in an instant, it would also explode and die.
After all, this 100% Essence Replenishing Pill not only contained the energy to instantly build a foundation, but it also contained the energy to repair a damaged foundation.
Therefore, this 100% Essence Replenishing Pill was very effective, but it was only effective on Mengmeng.
Su Meng chased her son, Su Bancheng, and daughter, Su Ruyu, out of the cultivation room, leaving Su Meng behind. She was prepared to use her heavenly secrets to guide Su Meng into the path today. Su Bancheng and Su Ruyu stayed outside all night.
Xu Bai was also up all night.
He stayed at the 48th Precinct the entire night. He only let Chen MO go after Chen MO signed his name on the transfer agreement and changed the official seal of the precinct.
With this official document, it would be impossible for anyone to steal the case and start with the Forty-eighth Precinct.
If others wanted to take this case away, they could only look for Xu Bai or the 38th Precinct.
But…
In a local case, there were no uncontrollable situations in this case. If the investigator’s attitude was very tough, Xu Bai could ignore it even if the bureau chief said so.
“Zhao Liu, male, 29 years old. He’s from Haizhou. Three years ago, he was sentenced to three years in prison for suspected robbery. Currently registered residence address, 3 Mingtai Apartments, 50th Street, East District, Feng
City…”
“Zhao Lu, male, 28 years old. He’s from Haizhou. Three years ago, he was sentenced to three years in prison for suspected robbery. Registered his residence address…
Xu Bai looked at the information on the two victims that were handed to him along with the consent form. He briefly flipped through it and saw their names and the names of their two sisters. He could not help but look up at Chen Mo.
“By the way, you seem to be from Jingzhou too.”
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s not that.”
Xu Bai shook his head and looked at Chen MO inquisitively. He asked curiously, “By the way, do you people from Jingzhou like to use idioms to name their sons and daughters?”
Chen MO frowned. “Maybe in the countryside, but it’s rare in the city. My sister and I don’t use idioms. What’s wrong?”
Xu Bai handed the information back to Chen Mo.
“Look at the names of the four siblings.”
“Liu… Lu… Tao… Hong?”
Chen MO looked at the name on the information and looked up at Xu Bai. “Does it mean Peach Blossoms and Willows?”
Xu Bai shrugged.
Yes.
This was another idiom group of four.
Xu Bai now seriously suspected that the criteria for recruiting members in this so-called Great Desolate World’s Holy Sect was to see if your name and your brother’s name could form an idiom.
Great Sage?
Qingshan?
Now, there was another peach blossom and willow green?
Did the HRS of the Great Desolate World’s Holy Sect have some strange habits?
At this moment.
Not far away, the glass door was pushed open.
Chen MO looked at the person and said, “Morning, Brother Xin.”
Xu Bai turned around and glanced at the person who was carrying a mountain bag. He was not considered skinny, but he was not fat either. His hair was a little premature, and his hair was gray. He looked to be in his thirties. Then, he retracted his gaze.
An Xin nodded. Then, he saw Xu Bai turn around and look at him. The smile on his face instantly disappeared. He walked towards Xu Bai without putting down his backpack.
“Why are you here?”
“Hey, hey, Brother Xin.”
Chen MO immediately took a step forward and stood in front of An Xin. “Brother Xin, Xu Bai came to look for me to get the information.”
“What information?”
An Xin asked directly. Looking at Xu Bai, who had stood up with a smile on his face, his tone was a little stiff. “Are you here to help Gao Qiang take away the case that can convict him again?”
Chen MO immediately shook his head, “No.”
Xu Bai shook his head speechlessly and looked at An Xin, whose eyes seemed to be burning with anger.
“Agent An, you should know that I can sue you for defamation, right?”
“Then sue me.”
An Xin glared at Xu Bai, who had one hand in his pocket and the other wrapped in documents. “Let me tell you, I’ll find strong evidence sooner or later and send a black sheep like you in.”
Xu Bai shook his head speechlessly.
“You can’t catch Gao Qiang because you’re stupid. It has nothing to do with me.” “Then why didn’t you catch it?”
“Gao Qiang isn’t under my jurisdiction. He follows the law. Why should I arrest him? You’ve always said that Gao Qiang broke the law. Last year, you said that I covered up for him. Sure, I asked you to take evidence, but you couldn’t take it out.”
“You know very well whether he committed a crime or not. A fish buyer became the leading real estate company in our city in just a year. How did he do it? You really don’t…
“Stop!”
Xu Bai raised his hand to stop him. Then, he looked at An Xin expressionlessly. “I’m an agent, a law enforcement agent. I don’t rely on my imagination to solve cases but on evidence. Based on what you’ve said, you ruined two of my surveillance missions last year, but the agent was still doing well and wasn’t fired. Can I also say that you relied entirely on your relationship with your uncle, the bureau chief?”
An Xin was burning with anger.
“You…”
“Just shut up.”
Xu Bai withdrew his gaze from An Xin and said to Chen MO, “Alright, I’m leaving now.”
Chen MO let out a relieved sigh and said, “I’ll send you off.”
Xu Bai nodded.
Chen MO then turned around and followed Xu Bai towards the glass door at the entrance. Behind him was An Xin, who had been in the industry for twelve years and was still an ordinary agent.
He went out the door.
Chen MO turned around and took a look. Then, he turned around and looked at Xu Bai. He sighed. “This An Xin is a good person. It’s just that his personality is very down-to-earth. We’re not willing to team up with him.”
Xu Bai chuckled. He did not take what had just happened to heart at all. “On the contrary, I think it would be quite interesting if we had such a person in our bureau.”
Chen MO was stunned. He looked at Xu Bai and suggested, “Why don’t you do
Xu Bai laughed and waved his hand. “I’m just saying, if some things can only be seen from afar, it won’t look good once we get close. The atmosphere in our branch office is very harmonious. There’s no need to catch a catfish to muddy our waters.”
Chen MO silently gave Xu Bai the middle finger.
After a while.
After sending Xu Bai to the parking lot, he looked at Xu Bai, who was about to get into the car, and thought of something. He said to Xu Bai, “By the way, Xu Bai, I heard that your disciple, Su Meng, is from the Su family?”
Xu Bai nodded. Then, he remembered that Su Meng had said that she was working with him on a case today. He took out his phone and glanced at it. He did not miss Su Meng’s missed calls. The corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Look
He had said last night that Su Meng might not have the time to look for him today.
Indeed.
At this moment, Su Meng was probably in the process of being reborn.
Xu Bai thought to himself.
After Xu Bai nodded, Chen MO seemed a little surprised. “That’s true.”
Xu Bai put away his phone and looked at Chen Mo. He noticed the expression on Chen Mo’s face and said with a smile, “Are you envious that not only do I have a fair, rich, and beautiful friend, but my disciple is also a fair, rich, and beautiful woman?”
When Chen MO heard this, he couldn’t help but throw Xu Bai a disdainful look and complain, “So what if you’re handsome? Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you’re handsome?”
Xu Bai rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment. He looked at Chen MO and nodded, “Yes, it turns out that a handsome man can do whatever he wants.”
Under normal circumstances, Xu Bai, whose parents were dead and his sister was unconscious, could not be said to be in a good mood. At the very least, his standard of living might plummet.
However, in fact, Xu Bail s standard of living did not plummet. Even when his work had just started and his monthly salary was handed over to the hospital in full, he did not have to worry about food and clothing.
Although he was wearing this white and cheap manufacturing suit all day, in fact, he still had a few custom-made suits given by his girlfriend in his wardrobe.
But…
Considering that no matter who gave it to him, he would always offend other girlfriends who gave him suits, Xu Bai put on the cheap quantity-selling suit that his sister had bought for him before she fainted.
I am wearing a suit that my sister had given me. This way, I wouldn’t offend any girlfriend.
This was the reason why Xu Bai wore such a washed-out white suit all year round. He didn’t have any intention of acting pitiful.
He had no money, but he was not poor.
Chen MO fell silent for a moment as his name suggested. Then, he lost interest in continuing the conversation with Xu Bai. He shook his head and bade Xu Bai farewell. “Let’s go. Hurry up and leave. However, your disciple’s family is a little complicated. Don’t think of turning your disciple into your girlfriend. Don’t say that I didn’t warn you.”
With that, Chen MO turned around and left.
But…
He didn’t manage to leave.
Chen MO looked at the demonic claw that was grabbing his arm. He turned around and looked at Xu Bai, who was holding him back.
“What are you doing?”
“What do you mean?”
“What?”
Xu Bai squinted his eyes and looked at Chen MO, “What do you mean by that?”
Chen MO looked at Xu Bai in surprise. “Don’t you know about this rumor?”
Xu Bai frowned.
“What rumors.”
Chen MO turned around and looked around. After confirming that there was no one in the parking lot, he lowered his voice and approached Xu Bai.
Whispered.
“Rumor has it that Su Meng is the daughter of the Su family siblings.”
