Following the address, the three quickly found the location written on the business card.
Beijing Jade and Antique Culture Research Studio.
It was a commercial building located in the suburbs, Huang Yuyao’s office was on the thirty-second floor.
The entrance was exquisite with few people coming and going, and the air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.
Two antique-looking scroll paintings were hanging on the wall near the door, one depicting towering pines on a mountain, and the other showing dancing cranes.
Chicken whispered, “This place seems a bit eerie…”
“Why do you say that?”
“This is a commercial building, and the other shops here are conducting businesses. Isn’t she suppose to… be doing archaeology?”
Zheng Cheng glanced at him and said, “What does it matter what she does? Hurry up, deliver the item and we can leave.”
“OK.”
The trio entered in succession and were soon greeted by a receptionist dressed in ancient-style clothes.
“How may I assist you gentlemen and lady?”
She hesitated for a moment; it was clear that the youthful faces of Zheng Cheng and his friends made her pause.
Chicken said, “Good day, Miss, we’re here to see Ms. Huang Yuyao.”
“Looking for Teacher Huang?”
The receptionist paused for a moment, then politely asked, “Do you have an appointment?”
“An appointment?”
She replied, “Yes, Teacher Huang has been working with a national Different Races culture investigation team for quite some time. She’s frequently not in the office.”
Chicken asked, “So she’s not here right now?”
“Well…” The receptionist seemed a little confused, but still answered, “Teacher Huang has been out for almost three months now. I’m not certain when she’ll return.”
“Do you three…need anything else?”
Chicken hesitated a moment, then said, “We were sent by somebody to deliver something to her. We’ll just leave it…”
“Ahem.”
Zheng Cheng coughed to interrupt him, “Since Ms. Huang is not here, we’ll leave for now. We’ll come back when she returns.”
“Chicken, leave your phone number.”
“Oh, okay.”
“Goodbye.”
After leaving the number, the three turned around and left.
After walking out of the building, Chicken asked curiously, “Brother Cheng, why the hurry? Wouldn’t it be the same if we just left the item in her office?”
Zheng Cheng sighed, “Do you know what Huang Jiu left for his daughter?”
“Isn’t it just a Professionist badge?”
“Do you know that, besides being a proof of identity, a Professionist badge is also a key to open the safe of a Professionist Guild!”
Zheng Cheng explained, “Some Professionists store their treasures or inheritances in exclusive safes in the Professionist Guild.”
“Only with the Professionist badge, along with a specially made key, can the safe be opened.”
Chicken suddenly realized, “Oh, I see now…”
Zheng Cheng activated the Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique and input Huang Yuyao’s name.
Sure enough, the indicator showing Huang Yuyao’s location had already exceeded his monitoring range. He shook his head and said, “She’s not here. The receptionist was right. Let’s go back, we…”
“Beep beep beep…”
Just as he was speaking, Zheng Cheng’s phone suddenly rang.
He checked it and a flash of surprise passed through his eyes, “Yunxiao!”
Yao Zhixue immediately asked, “Hmm? Sister Yunxiao called you?”
“Yes.”
Zheng Cheng answered the call, and soon Zhao Yunxiao’s voice came through, “Hey, little orange, where are you all!”
Zheng Cheng was speechless, “I mean, Sister Yunxiao, since when did you start giving me nicknames?”
“Stop the chit-chat! I heard you guys got bullied, I’ve got a place for you!”
“Ah, what do you mean?” Zheng Cheng asked, amazed, “Are you in Beijing?”
“Hmm.”
Zhao Yunxiao said, “Come over, I’m waiting for you at the Beijing Night Watcher’s headquarters.”
“Okay!”
Zheng Cheng ended the call and said, “Let’s go! Sister Yunxiao is waiting for us at the Night Watch headquarters.”
Caiji’s eyes twinkled and said, “Sister Yunxiao has arrived, haha, that’s great, let’s hurry up!”
Yao Zhixue also laughed and said, “It’s been a long time since we saw Sister Yunxiao…”
The three quickly hailed a taxi and arrived at the Night Watch headquarters in Beijing over an hour later.
After identifying themselves and undergoing a series of checks, Zheng Cheng and his friends were finally able to meet the greatly missed Zhao Yunxiao in an office of a special department.
“Sister Yunxiao!”
Yao Zhixue flung herself into Zhao Yunxiao’s arms like a homing sparrow. Zhao Yunxiao indulgently patted her head.
“Sister Yunxiao!”
Zheng Cheng also ran over and opened his arms wide.
Zhao Yunxiao twitched at the corner of her mouth, but still gave Zheng Cheng a hug.
About ten seconds later, Zhao Yunxiao frowned, “Little Orange, you’ve grown bolder in the months we haven’t seen each other.”
“Hehehehe…”
Zheng Cheng grinned and quickly let go of Zhao Yunxiao.
“Sister Yunxiao…”
Caiji also made a move to rush forward but was stopped by Zhao Yunxiao: “Stop, Caiji, you stay where you are.”
Caiji instantly made a face: “I also want a hug from Sister Yunxiao…”
“Scram!”
Zheng Cheng asked, “Sister Yunxiao, why are you here this time?”
“I’ve been reassigned.”
“Wasn’t it supposed to be six months?”
“I requested to come back early.” Zhao Yunxiao rolled her eyes and said, “Alright, everyone is here, there is something I have to tell you.”
The three held their breaths and looked at Zhao Yunxiao.
“Old Bai has fallen.”
“Old Bai?” Caiji was puzzled: “Who? Don’t tell me it’s Bai Jingqi, haha…”
Seeing that no one laughed, Caiji coughed awkwardly and fell silent.
Zheng Cheng asked hesitantly, “Sister Yunxiao, he is…”
Zhao Yunxiao said, “It has nothing to do with you guys, or with me. He died at the hands of the Different Races in the Magic Realm and has been named a martyr.”
“This…”
“Magic realm?” It finally dawned on Caiji: “Was it him?”
Over a month ago, when the three of them had reported to the Night Watch headquarters in Beijing, they were asked by Wu Fuqing, one of the deputy directors, to use the Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique to search for traitorous Fallen Ones within the Night Watch.
They had identified seven people then, one of whom was a clone of Huiri, one of the members of the Break of Dawn team: Meng Yao.
And Old Bai, Meng Yao’s partner, hadn’t been very cordial to them at that time.
After confirming Meng Yao’s identity, Old Bai had exiled himself to the Magic Realm, one of the Alien Battlefields.
Unexpectedly, he died so soon.
At this point, the three of them didn’t feel very relaxed. Instead, they felt a hint of bitterness.
No matter what, a man had died.
Zheng Cheng took a deep breath and said, “Where is Old Bai’s body? I want to pay my respects.”
“Me too.”
Zhao Yunxiao said with satisfaction, “His body is still in the Human Race’s Main City in the Magic Realm. It will be sent back when the next round of troops switch. I will let you know when the time comes.”
“By the way, there’s one more thing.”
She suddenly looked at Zheng Cheng, her gaze somewhat ambiguous, “An elder has asked me to give you a message.”
“A message? What message?”
Zheng Cheng was baffled and asked curiously.
“He said: Your proposal is being considered by the Elders Council. To verify the validity and feasibility of the proposal, you will need to be the test subject for an experiment.”
“Huh?”
Yao Zhixue and Caiji were completely confused, not understanding what Zhao Yunxiao was talking about.
Only Zheng Cheng, who might have guessed something, hesitated and asked, “That elder, how will he conduct the experiment?”
“A disciple of the elder will join Beijing National University as an exchange student, and will take part in the Top Ten Hidden Dragons tournament as a freshman.”
“This is also a test of whether they can become a subject race of our Xia Country!”
