The crowd cheered at the news announced by Shi Jindai.

What could be more exciting for the people of Yujiang than having celebrities from Yujiang City participate in the once-every-fifteen-years River Lantern Festival?

Even after Shi Jindai left, the discussion among the crowd continued for a long time.

Bai Miao asked Chi Tengzhou, who had not yet left:

"Director Chi, do you remember Shi Jindai? Someone with her looks must have been a popular figure in school, right?"

When Bai Miao asked this question, Chi Tengzhou tried to recall carefully, but he had absolutely no memory of Shi Jindai's student days.

He taught at Yujiang University for more than ten years. Logically speaking, given Shi Jindai's age, her time at the university should have overlapped with Chi Tengzhou's teaching period.

"Perhaps because I was so focused on cultivating my spiritual energy and teaching that I didn't know much about the students' interactions, I don't have a very deep impression of her."

As Chi Tengzhou spoke the truth, the dark golden light in Bai Miao's eyes gradually deepened.

He couldn't be mistaken; the book Shi Jindai had taken from Yin Changfeng when she walked over just now was intertwined with Shi Jindai's destiny by several times more threads than that of ordinary people.

A celebrity like Shi Jindai can inspire countless fans to follow her every word and action.

Her high-profile return to Yujiang City to participate in the River Lantern Festival has led to a surge in foot traffic in the city recently.

Bai Miao never hesitated to think of things in the worst possible light.

If the unexpected turn of events in the team leader's assessment was related to the All Souls Society, Yun Chuxiu then instructed Bai Miao to investigate Changfeng and Gufeng.

Yin Changfeng also happens to have intricate connections with Shi Jindai.

The worst-case scenario is that both Yin Changfeng and Shi Jindai are spies for the Wanling Society.

Yin Changfeng created conflict within the Secret Service, leaving Yun Chuxiu unable to attend to multiple tasks simultaneously.

Shi Jindai attracted a huge crowd, and the Wanling Society took advantage of the chaos to secretly kidnap tourists and send them to the Spirit Realm to be trained as Spirit Realm citizens.

This year's Lantern Festival and All Souls' Meeting will inevitably see many changes.

Of course, all of this is just his speculation, and the facts may not be so.

"What's wrong? Have you been bewitched by the goddess's beauty?" Lü Dantong teased Bai Miao, tilting her head back.

"Ha, that woman isn't even as good-looking as you."

Bai Miao wasn't lying; Shi Jindai was beautiful, but too perfect, which made her seem fake.

She's just beautiful, but her beauty is unrealistic, baseless, and lacks any individuality.

It's like a student who used the right template and handed in a perfect answer sheet.

If you ask her why, she will only tell you that this is beauty, but she will not tell you why she thinks she is so beautiful.

Like a fake person.

"He's good at saying nice things, Dantong, be careful not to be fooled by him."

Xia Yuebai's words had a sour tone.

I don't know if they're jealous of Bai Miao's good relationship with her friend Lü Dantong, or jealous of how natural Lü Dantong's relationship with Bai Miao is.

"I love hearing nice things, say more next time."

She and Lü Dantong were playfully fighting, and she deliberately ran a little further ahead.

Bai Miao lagged a little behind, watching the two of them laugh and joke.

All three phones beeped simultaneously, and Bai Miao quickly composed himself.

"Brother Bai! We have a mission!"

Yan Li emerged from the group of students leaving the venue, amazed at how quickly his skills had improved recently.

Part of the credit goes to him for listening to Bai Miao's advice and frequently auditing the elective courses in Spiritual Arts 4 and 5.

[Leopard Transformation] is inherently strong in speed and explosiveness, combined with the agility of a swallow and the explosive spiritual energy technique that can repel the opponent's aura.

A two-pronged approach directly addresses the pain points.

Bai Miao had originally suggested that he audit Yan Jin's Spiritual Technique Thirteen - Spiritual Weapon Transformation, which uses spiritual energy to transform into leopard claws, making them the most suitable weapon for the cards.

Unfortunately, Yan Li's talent in spiritual arts was really mediocre; he struggled to even learn the fourth and fifth levels of spiritual arts.

Ling Shu Thirteen listened for almost half a month, but he was still confused and couldn't figure it out.

"Brother Bai, your body moves so smoothly between the swallow-like form and the repulsive force; I can't sense the switching of your spiritual energy operation mode at all."

Yan Li watched the battle between Bai Miao and Chi Tengzhou very carefully, putting himself in Bai Miao's shoes.

Bai Miao's use of spiritual techniques was as fluid and natural as a bodily instinct.

Anyone who has learned these two spiritual arts and understands how to activate them knows how difficult it is to achieve this level of skill.

This level of difficulty is incomparable to drawing a circle with the left hand and a loop with the right.

"Practice more. When you can move like a swallow without consciously maintaining your posture, you can start trying to use two spiritual techniques at the same time."

Bai Miao parked his car in the underground parking garage of Wan Jin Plaza, a one-stop shopping mall under the Changfu Chamber of Commerce.

The mission information indicates that an emergency abnormal psionic fluctuation has occurred at Wan Jin Plaza.

"Going on a mission in a department store during mealtime is simply the cruelest thing in the world."

In particular, the Secret Service has issued an emergency evacuation notice, and the department store is completely empty.

Fashion brands that used to require queuing to enter can now be visited whenever you want.

The restaurant was filled with the aroma of food.

Yan Li was quite surprised to see Lü Dantong and Xia Yuebai like this for the first time.

One of them is from the Xia family, and the other is from the Lü family. Putting aside the fact that the Lü family is now completely in decline, both of them are rich heiresses who are not short of money.

Xia Yuebai didn't need Bai Miao to speak; she could tell what he wanted to say just by looking at Bai Miao's expression.

"What do you know? A department store that's being cleared out is the most exciting place in the world."

On the top floor of the shopping mall, a huge light-up sign shone with seven colors, and the biting night wind tore Shi Jindai's skirt into pieces, making it flutter and dance like a swallowtail butterfly.

The mall was filled with posters and images of Shi Jindai's boyfriend. Under Shi Jindai's flawless face, the crowd scattered like ants.

"Look, Immortal Fox, as long as you stand high enough, those who once ignored you or looked down on you will all grovel at your feet."

At this moment, Shi Jindai showed none of the feigned friendliness and liveliness she displayed on television and in posters.

She curled her lip in disdain. "Just a little psionic fluctuation is enough to make these people run away like mice encountering a cat."

The two-tailed fox perched on her shoulder seemed to understand, swaying its two plump tails, ripples of spiritual energy spreading outwards.

A spiritual realm, large enough to envelop the entire department store, is beginning to take shape.

The creature perched on her shoulder wasn't a pink ball or a laughing, gob-like creature, but a genuine demon beast.

Even a special spirit realm master who can freely control the generation of spirit realms by manipulating spiritual energy.

Upon entering the department store, Bai Miao activated [Vision Sharing].

The threads of fate unfolded in Bai Miao and Fen Yuan's field of vision, with Bai Miao accurately capturing the extremely noisy and chaotic tangled threads of fate on the top floor of the department store.

Yan Li took the lead, transforming into a leopard-man and rushing from the fire escape to the rooftop.

Bai Miao was slightly behind, but with the help of spiritual techniques, his speed was not slow.

Xia Yuebai and Lü Dantong were much slower, especially Lü Dantong, who was carrying a heavy load, making her hopping and skipping extremely dangerous.

Yan Li kicked open the iron door to the rooftop, abruptly stopping the restless spiritual pressure, and the nascent spiritual realm vanished in an instant.

The night wind howled on the rooftop, and the noisy threads of fate in Bai Miao's vision suddenly vanished.
