How come I was born a deity?

"Hmph... Well then," Sun Qinian said in a deep voice, "Since this is a commission issued directly by the government and both of us have accepted it, then to be fair, let's handle this commission together."

"Whoever completes this task first gets to keep the credit, how about it?"

Sun Qinian added "thoughtfully," "Of course, I won't interfere. You juniors should handle your own affairs, how about that?"

Chen Qi thought about it and felt there was no problem.

Sun Xiangwan will also participate in the newcomer evaluation later. Although I don't know what level she will be in this year's newcomer evaluation, it is the best way for me to understand the strength of the newcomers in the same batch.

After all, up to now, Chen Qi has not truly seen any newcomers of the same caliber as himself.

The closest people to him were Xu Yangzi and He Wenchong, but these two were either already fifth-level cultivators or on their way to the fifth level, so the gap between them was still quite large.

"Alright," Chen Qi nodded, "I hope Senior Sun keeps his word."

Sun Qinian nodded, "Of course, but... this young lady shouldn't participate."

He glanced at Hu Yao behind Chen Qi, "After all, demons have intuition and sense of smell that far surpass those of ordinary people in certain aspects."

"Okay." Chen Qi did not refuse.

Sun Xiangwan chuckled lightly, "Hmph, you're doomed!"

Chen Qi ignored her and took Hu Yao to a relatively safe place, handing her his phone at the same time.

"Here's your phone. The password is 1122. If anything happens, use it to contact Shen Nianxu, understand?"

Hu Yao nodded obediently, "Yes, I understand!"

After ruffling Hu Yao's hair, Chen Qi returned to Sun Xiangwan and Sun Qinian.

Watching Chen Qi's departing figure, Hu Yao opened Chen Qi's phone while glaring fiercely at Sun Qinian.

She vaguely remembered seeing this old man before. It seemed that something had happened, and she had come to Shangqing Palace to request an audience with Master Xuanqing, only to be directly driven off the mountain by Master Xuanqing.

It didn't mean being kicked out of the mountain gate; it meant exactly what it said: Sun Qinian was slapped off the mountain by Master Xuanqing.

From then on, the Sun family would send gifts to Shangqing Palace every now and then. However, Master Xuanqing never gave them a kind look. He accepted the gifts without hesitation, but still treated them with disdain, making the Sun family suffer greatly.

"If only Master were here..."

Hu Yao suddenly felt a little wronged. Whether it was herself or Chen Qi, they were essentially bullied by this old man, but Chen Qi was the only one who took the blame for her.

Hu Yao opened Chen Qi's phone and scrolled through Chen Qi's contacts, suddenly discovering a name.

After a moment's thought, and almost by accident, Hu Yao used Chen Qi's phone to dial this person's number.

……

At the desk.

Sun Xiangwan also stood up and straightened her deerstalker hat.

Chen Qi then noticed that Sun Xiangwan was only wearing shorts in the middle of winter.

Two long, white, glowing legs were exposed to the cold air. Chen Qi dared not imagine what kind of torment she would suffer from arthritis and rheumatism when she got old.

"Alright," Sun Qinian said, seeing that the two juniors were ready. "Let's begin. I will act as the referee and decide who will finish this task first."

After clearly hearing the word "begin" from Sun Qinian, Sun Xiangwan immediately turned around and buried herself in the bookshelf.

Although Hu Yao did not mean it, he still provided a very good piece of information.

That means there was nothing unusual on the first floor of the library.

The library only has two floors. Since there was nothing unusual on the first floor, the paranormal event must have occurred on the second floor.

Even though the two were not on friendly forces, Sun Xiangwan still made use of this intelligence.

Seeing Sun Xiangwan disappear into the bookshelves, Chen Qi didn't react much. Sun Qinian looked at him curiously and asked, "Aren't you going to do anything?"

He was also quite curious about Chen Qi. At such a young age, he was taken by Shen Nianxu to be the owner of a bookstore, and he had already learned the method of containing spiritual energy at such a young age. If he was not a peerless genius like Chen Fuzhou, he was at least a super genius of the level of Xu Yangzi.

What methods would such a genius use to resolve this request?

Chen Qi did not answer Sun Qinian's question. Instead, he turned his spiritual sense inward and observed his own sea of ​​consciousness, where he found the white copper lying dormant.

"Feed him/her?"

Bai Tong was woken up by Chen Qi and mumbled sleepily, "What the hell?"

Chen Qi: "There have been some paranormal events around here. Can you help me find out where the ghost is?"

Bai Tong retorted, "Can't you use your spiritual sense to see?"

"Normally, I wouldn't bother contacting you, but now every second counts. The sooner we find the ghost, the better. Otherwise, why would I bother with you?"

It seemed to make a "tsk" sound as Bai Tong reluctantly got up. "Fine, then I'll help you take a look. Go out of your sea of ​​consciousness, and I'll use your shadow to guide you."

"Okay!"

Chen Qi responded and withdrew from his sea of ​​consciousness.

White Copper blinked, as if sensing something, and muttered in a somewhat annoyed tone, "Where did this filthy thing come from? It's disgusting."

As he spoke, Bai Tong's body swayed casually.

The next second, Sun Qinian, who was sitting at the desk, widened his pupils slightly, turned around abruptly, and looked at the glass leading to the window.

"My formation has been broken!"

Sun Qinian was immediately startled. To be on the safe side, he set up a formation around the library to prevent the ghost from escaping.

This formation takes a lot of time to set up, but it is very effective. Once a ghost is trapped inside, it will never be able to escape.

Even Sun Qinian himself would need some time to break the formation.

And now, his own formation has been broken just like that?

We don't even know who did it!

"Could it be Shen Nianxu? No... She's very high-profile. If it were Shen Nianxu, she would definitely want the whole world to know she's here."

"Is it Wang Shande? No, that can't be... He recognizes my formation, so there's no reason for him to break it."

"Who is it?"

Sun Qinan, sitting at his desk, began a brainstorming session, completely unaware that Chen Qi's shadow was undergoing a strange change, defying physics and moving in a direction contrary to the direction of the light source.

Chen Qi followed Bai Tong, who was controlling his shadow, all the way to a corner of the library.

As soon as he reached the corner, Chen Qi squinted his eyes.

White Copper manipulated the shadows, leading him to another study room.

This study room is laid out much like a school classroom; it's a place specifically for high school students on vacation and college students with nothing to do to study.

At that moment, there was only one person in the huge study room.

The person was lying on the table, snoring loudly, with a tablet computer in front of him still playing online classes, and written test questions under his head.

It's clear that sleeping in the study room is much more comfortable than sleeping at home.

Chen Qi walked straight up, glanced at the headphones Chen Ruopan was wearing, decisively picked up his tablet, turned off the online class, opened Bilibili, randomly searched for a video playing the sound of a steel pipe falling, and clicked on it.

Immediately afterwards...

A clanging sound, loud enough for Chen Qi to hear, came from Chen Ruopan's earphones.

She woke up with a start, jumping up from her desk, and said in a daze, "Wha...what happened? What's going on?!"

Chen Qi: "You're awake? The written exam ended yesterday. Keep up the good work next year."

Chen Ruopan was stunned for a moment. She first glanced at the time, then at Chen Qi, and finally came to her senses, asking a question that struck at the heart of the matter.

"How did I fall asleep?"

Chen Qi was indeed speechless, but before he could answer, he noticed a faint black mist swirling around Chen Ruopan in his spiritual vision.

Chen Qi had already seen this once before, in the secluded old house of the Ten Thousand Demons Club.

This is ghostly energy!

Chen Ruopan is possessed by a ghost!
