Chapter 319 Coins
"A demerit? Why was a demerit given?"

"Uh……"

Chu He felt a little embarrassed and glanced back.

Xie Lingxin thought to herself, "Why are you looking at her? Tell me."

He was watching Nian Youyou.

The latter is also somewhat inexplicable.

Chu He said awkwardly, "It's because of... harassment!"

"what?"

Chu He had to explain, "It's that kind of harassment."

Xie Lingxin then realized, "Oh, so it's just the new harassment?"

Chu He nodded.

Xie Lingxin was speechless: "So what if it's new harassment? Why are you so embarrassed? It's not like you did it."

Chu He's lips twitched slightly.

Blame me?
You are a minor, and the other one is a girl.

How could I not feel awkward? For whom?

Xie Ling thought to herself, "How many people are missing in total?"

Chu He said, "There were thirteen people who reported the case, but when we were investigating, we found that there were five other people who had been given demerits for the same reason. So we checked and found that they were also missing. It's just that their families hadn't realized they were missing yet and hadn't had time to report it."

"That makes eighteen..."

Xie Lingxin pondered.

Jin Yuan exclaimed, "Do students at Seven Star Academy play like this?"

Nian Youyou glared angrily.

Xie Lingxin also gave her an annoyed sidelong glance.

"All the missing persons are men, and they've all been reprimanded for new harassment?"

"Seven Star Academy can't be that corrupt, can it? Could it be because they ran into a boxer?"

"Boxer?"

Chu He was taken aback.

Jin Yuan and others didn't quite understand either.

Xie Lingxin smacked her lips.

It seems the Federation has no fake "boxers".

Women in the Federation have a high status, and they earned it through sheer force of fists—real fists, the kind that can kill!

"So...who are they harassing?"

Xie Lingxin felt she couldn't explain it; after all, the term "boxer" was such a bizarre concept that even saying it out loud felt shameful.

Mingyu said, "Does Your Highness suspect that these harassed women are working together to frame these missing men?"

Xie Lingxin nodded.

Chu He said, "But we have already investigated, and the targets are all different. It is highly random and accidental, and it does not seem like there is collusion or premeditation among them."

"I see...?"

Xie Lingxin was a little disappointed.

He still suspected there was a scoundrel, but judging from this, it doesn't seem likely anymore...

Surely there aren't that many scoundrels? And they've all teamed up?
Leng Lie, who had been holding onto the Divine Strategy Soul-Suppressing Banner since earlier, suddenly said, "That's not necessarily true."

“In crime, there is no such thing as randomness or chance; everything can be created by human intervention.”

Jin Yuan said, "I almost forgot, this is what you do. His Highness gave you such a generous gift, shouldn't you reciprocate?"

Leng Lie seemed to have regained his usual sunny and cheerful demeanor. Holding the Soul-Suppressing Banner, he smiled and said, "Your Highness, leave this matter to me."

"I'll give you an explanation within three days."

Xie Ling thought to herself, "There's no need to be in such a hurry..."

Jin Yuan smiled and said, "Your Highness, there's no need to be so polite with him. The Leng family is a well-known military and police family in the Federation, and he is very skilled at solving cases."

Leng Lie did not deny it, stroking the Soul-Suppressing Banner in his hand: "Don't worry, His Highness gave me such a good treasure, I can't disgrace it."

Seeing the calmness on his face, Xie Lingxin nodded and said, "In that case, I'll leave it to you, but there's no time limit..."

This case has actually been dragging on for a long time.

Fatty Orange was given a time limit to solve the case by Xiang Chongyuan, the stern-faced man. Fatty Orange failed to solve the case within the time limit, so Xiang Chongyuan took the opportunity to vent his anger and sent him to guard the fish pond.

Oh, that's the East China Sea bay, the entrance and exit of the Laoshan area.

The reason he wanted to investigate this case was to vent his anger for Fatty Orange.

"Just three days."

To everyone's surprise, Leng Lie did not accept this kind offer and repeated the emphasis with a smile.

Quite arrogant...

Xie Lingxin said, "Alright, it's up to you. All the personnel in the Special Operations Section are under your command."

"Brother Chu, please cooperate with us. Oh, by the way, if you're looking for anyone, you might as well look for Gao Ming and Gao Jue. Their supernatural abilities are quite special."

Chu He nodded: "I will."

He knew that he and his companions were no match for the scions of powerful families like Leng Lie, and he felt no resentment at being looked down upon.

I was quite curious about the supernatural powers that Xie Lingxin had mentioned.

"I'm going to continue my seclusion. Don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary. Go about your business."

After Xie Lingxin finished explaining the situation, she began to shoo people away.

"No way? Another seclusion?"

Jin Yuan exclaimed, "We've all come from afar, and you're just abandoning us all and going into endless seclusion?"

"Do you know how incredibly difficult it is for others to even see us, no matter how hard they try!"

Xie Lingxin said disdainfully, "That's perfect, but you better not pity me and don't let me see this!"

"You...Your Highness, you have broken my heart!"

Jin Yuan clutched his chest, feigning pain.

Xie Lingxin said irritably, "Isn't it because I have to refine magic weapons for you? Do you think I want to?"

Jin Yuan's expression immediately changed: "Your Highness, please continue your seclusion! I will not allow anyone to disturb you!"

"...The door is over there, don't bother seeing me out."

"Order!"

"His Highness has ordered you to leave immediately! Get out of here!"

Jin Yuan began to act like a lackey, chasing people away.

"..."

After all that commotion, the little villa finally quieted down.

With a thought, Xie Lingxin summoned the Innate Eight Trigrams Furnace in front of him.

This Eight Trigrams Furnace is clearly much better than the previous Danhua Cauldron, and its quality of refining and purifying far surpasses that of the previous one.

Simply forging magical artifacts is tantamount to vying with heaven and earth for creation; the rituals are intricate, and not a single mistake can be made. It also attracts the attention of ghosts and gods, making it a perilous endeavor.

This time is absolutely essential and cannot be spared.

That said, besides making him more adept at refining treasures, the Innate Eight Trigrams Furnace also seems to have some kind of... let's just say it has the divine effect of concealing heavenly secrets.

This time, when the Divine Strategy Soul-Suppressing Banner was forged, it did not reveal any unusual phenomena, nor did it attract any evil spirits.

In the past, every time it was successfully refined in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it caused a great commotion.

Fortunately, he had the identity of Prince Jing, and Wu Zetian had publicly expressed her intention to pass on the throne to him. Apart from the first time he refined the Azure Banner, no one dared to make a move against him.

The Primordial Eight Trigrams Furnace is indeed extraordinary...

The thought had barely crossed my mind when my phone rang.

"What did you just do?"

It's Su Qingli, the girl with glasses.

Xie Lingxin was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Su Qingli said, "The mental fluctuations in your area are strange. There are signs of a legend being born. Have you noticed anything unusual?"

Xie Lingxin opened her mouth.

This is quite a quick slap in the face.

"how do you know?"

It must have been the sound of the magic weapon being forged; how could they detect that?

Su Qingli said, "Don't you know? I'm in charge of monitoring the spiritual world. I know about any spiritual fluctuations that occur in Leizhou."

Xie Lingxin blinked, then suddenly said gently, "Four-eyes... no, Qingli, would you like to come to the Special Operations Department?"

He suddenly reacted.

Su Qingli's cultivation level may not be remarkable.

But she is the kind of technical talent that is extremely rare in the Federation.

Having worked at the Environmental Protection Bureau for so long, he has gained some understanding of the special task of monitoring the spiritual world.

Cultivation level is useless.

It relies on the most advanced equipment in the federal government, as well as extremely complex technical operations.

People who can master this technology are extremely rare, even within the Alliance.

Without such technical talent, even the Environmental Protection Bureau couldn't function.

Fat Orange has been usurped.

Xie Lingxin had no intention of pledging allegiance to someone she disliked.

He also harbors ambitions to usurp the throne!
There was a moment of silence before someone spoke up: "...No matter what kind of monster you are, please release Xie Lingxin, thank you."

"..."

Xie Lingxin was unhappy: "Four-eyes, you're making me very sad."

Su Qingli said coldly, "Don't use your flirting skills on me."

Ugh, this four-eyed girl is so hard to deal with.

Xie Lingxin bit her lip and said, "You're so heartless."

Su Qingli asked, "How much money are you offering?"

Xie Lingxin was taken aback: "Huh?"

Su Qingli's voice was flat and monotone, just like her appearance, giving off a somewhat dull vibe: "Didn't you want me to go to the Special Operations Department?"

"I heard that you spent a lot of money to recruit those scions of noble families. What about me?"

Xie Lingxin was a little angry: "Hey, Four-Eyes, you're not the kind of person who cares so much about such mundane things as money, are you?!"

"Is all the affection I've shared with you less valuable than this bit of money?"

A calm yet resolute voice came through: "I care, I only like money."

She added, "Also, I have no feelings for you."

"……goodbye!"

"Snapped!"

Xie Lingxin hung up the phone immediately.

This bespectacled girl is quite difficult to deal with.

Just you wait, you'll be mine sooner or later!

Hmm... why does that sound so strange?
……

at the same time.

Outside the old compound.

Su Qingli squatted down in a corner, put down her phone, and touched a round little pig at her feet.

"What are you doing here? Are you lost? Or were you abandoned by your owner?"

"You're no use following me, I don't have the money to support you."

I glanced in the direction of Xie Lingxin's small villa.

"That guy is so stingy! All I asked him for was a little more money, even a thousand... no, a hundred a month would have been fine! What a cheapskate!"

"Humph."

The pig nudged her ankle with its snout.

"Okay, then I'll give you a little bit, just a tiny bit."

Su Qingli opened her mouth and exhaled a wisp of thick black mist.

It turned into a dusty gray coin, round on the outside and square on the inside, and landed in the palm of my hand.

It was handed out.

Upon seeing the coin, the pig suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed it in the blink of an eye.

"Humph!"

Su Qingli suddenly groaned, her round, somewhat dazed face contorting slightly as if in great pain.

He clutched his stomach and said, "No, you've already spent all my money on food."

Soon she was in so much pain that she couldn't even stand up. She slowly squatted down, curled up against the wall, and trembled slightly.

After a while, the pain seemed to subside, and my body went limp.
