Seeing Qing Yuan's determined look, Hua Chaochao raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said nonchalantly: "I am nobody. I don't belong to this world, nor to any world. You can think of me as a passerby, a fleeting phantom."

Qing Yuan was shocked. He could tell that this was not a lie. "Then why are you here?"

"Come and get revenge."

"Are there any enemies here? But you are so strong, who can harm you?" Qing Yuan couldn't understand how someone could hurt Hua Chaochao with her strength.

Hua Chaochao couldn't help but sneer, but there was no smile in her eyes, "Yeah, I'm so strong, but I still got tricked."

Qing Yuan guessed that Hua Chaochao might have been plotted against by someone, so he didn't ask any further questions to avoid hurting the person.

The question about identity ended here, Qing Yuan changed the question and asked: "What is the matter with you coming to see me this time?"

He was 100% sure that she wasn't here to chat.

Hua Chaochao smiled again, "It's so relaxing to chat with you. I want to ask you for a favor."

Qing Yuan raised his eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.

Hua Chaochao: "It's very simple. Just go and help some kids decipher the code."

Qing Yuan was full of doubts: "Who?"

Hua Chaochao slowly uttered a name: "Bai Sheng."

"It turns out to be Chief Bai." Qing Yuan immediately understood. He knew Bai Sheng, the daughter of Li Cenyuan and the former leader of Juejing. However, he had no interactions with her and had never spoken to her.

But this did not prevent him from admiring this young ninth-level martial artist.

"What code do you want to decipher?" Qing Yuan asked again.

Hua Chaochao: "She discovered Li Qingchi's secret experiment, but she doesn't know the purpose of the experiment yet, so I need you to answer her questions and clear up her confusion."

"Is that the experiment to study immortality?"

"Correct."

Qing Yuan understood, but——

"why me?"

Why should he say it?

Hua Chaochao smiled and said, "Because you are highly respected, they will believe what you say."

This is indeed true. Considering Qing Yuan's identity, status and past experience, he really has no reason to deceive those young people who are inexperienced in the world.

"Do you want Bai Sheng to stop Li Qingchi?" Qing Yuan guessed Hua Chaochao's intention.

The guess turned out to be wrong.

Hua Chaochao just shook her head and said, "No, I just wanted to give her a sense of crisis."

Qing Yuan didn't understand again, but he didn't ask any more questions. Just like his usual character, he was not a curious person. This time, he was curious about Hua Chaochao's identity and origin, which was just an exception.

"I understand. I will tell Baisheng."

"Who else?" Qing Yuan did not forget that Hua Chaochao was talking about "some children", so it must be more than just Bai Sheng.

Hua Chaochao: "And..."

……

Before she could come up with a new plan to save people, Hua Xi received a meeting request from an unexpected person——

President Qing Yuan of Zhousheng College.

Although she was doubtful, Hua Xi still agreed.

Since Qing Yuan could not leave the college without permission, the meeting place was set in his office.

In the underground parking lot of the hotel, Hua Xi met Yi Mu who was also going out. The two looked at each other, and their eyes seemed to be asking each other: Where are you going?

Finally, it was Hua Xi who spoke first: "Zhou Sheng College, what about you?"

Yi Mu was silent for a moment, "...Me too."

Hua Xi was a little surprised: "President Qing Yuan also made an appointment with you?"

Yi Mu did not deny: "The message was sent this morning."

He was actually quite puzzled and wondered how Qing Yuan knew his phone number.

After learning that Yi Mu and she were going to the same place to meet the same person, Hua Xi suggested: "Let's go together."

Saves having to drive two cars.

The car was borrowed from Wu Fei, as they had no car in Xuanzhou.

Yi Mu acquiesced, put the car keys he had just taken out back into his pocket, and got into Hua Xi's car.

Hua Xi started the car skillfully and the car drove out of the parking lot smoothly.

An hour later, the car arrived at the office building of Zhousheng College.

The college is on holiday today, and the campus is exceptionally quiet with no students to be seen.

Hua Xi and Yi Mu arrived at Dean Qing Yuan's office without any obstruction, and the former raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Please come in." Qing Yuan's voice came from inside.

The two of them pushed the door open and walked in. Qing Yuan had already prepared tea and was waiting for the guests.

The aroma of tea filled the entire office.

"Please take a seat, both of you." Qing Yuan pointed to the sofa opposite him.

Hua Xi and Yi Mu were not the shy type, so they walked over and sat down generously.

Qing Yuan poured them each a cup of tea and said, "Try this tea, it tastes good."

Hua Xi didn't drink it. She was wondering what Qing Yuan wanted to call them for. On the contrary, Yi Mu stared at the teacup in front of him, and his nose moved slightly.

The scent of this tea... is so familiar.

After picking it up and taking a sip, Yi Mu's eyes flashed with understanding.

Sure enough, the taste of this tea is exactly the same as the tea Hua Chaochao usually drinks.

At the same time, Yi Mu also understood why Qing Yuan asked them to come. It was because of Hua Chaochao.

She didn't go to see him yesterday and didn't know what happened to her hand.

Yi Mu thought absentmindedly.

Seeing that Hua Xi didn't touch the teacup and just looked at him, Qing Yuan said, "Don't worry, Miss Bai, there is another person who will be here soon."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a light knock on the door.

Qing Yuan heard a knock on the door: "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and a familiar figure appeared in front of Hua Xi.

The man seemed to have not expected that Hua Xi and Yi Mu were there too, and was stunned for a moment.

Qing Yuan seemed not to notice and said to himself, "Master Xuan, please take a seat."

Finally, Ji Xianchen sat on Hua Xi's left, and Yi Mu sat on the right. The two of them sandwiched Hua Xi in the middle. However, the sofa was long enough for the three of them to sit on without interfering with each other.

When Ji Xianchen came in, Yi Mu simply glanced at him without any emotion.

Hua Xi was similar, her expression did not change from beginning to end. The only one who looked unnatural was Ji Xianchen.

Qing Yuan coughed lightly, breaking the awkward silence: "Okay, now that everyone is here, let's get down to business."

The three of them focused their eyes on Qing Yuan, waiting for his next words.

"What I want to say is about Chief Li."
