Card Master: My Special Feature - Choose One of Three

Taichanglou is located on Linjiang Road, and its main body is a magnificent ancient building situated on the banks of the Yujiang River.

Under the cover of night, the entire ancient building was brightly lit.

With the Jiangdeng Festival approaching, a large number of red lanterns are hanging under the eaves of Taichang Tower.

Outside the building, at a dozen or so stalls set up in advance, river lantern artisans were busily making river lanterns.

The lights in the sky and on the ground merged into one, and most of the Yujiang River was dyed crimson by the lights.

The area in front of the store is bustling with traffic, and the waitresses, dressed in well-fitting cheongsams, greet and see off customers with respect and courtesy.

Taichanglou's prices are not low, which is why Wei Liang wanted to rip off Bai Miao there.

Even so, Taichanglou Restaurant remains very popular, with seats in high demand.

He Changlin had given prior notice, and the waiter led Bai Miao and his entourage into the hall.

A huge crystal lotus lantern hangs in the high-ceilinged courtyard, its light and shadow projecting outwards from between the petals, shimmering with a soft golden glow.

This river lantern is said to be made using crystal paper, a special spiritual material, and is a piece submitted by Taichanglou for this year's River Lantern Festival.

The lobby on the first floor was packed, and in several corners, there were card masters and security guards in uniform, all of whom were at the second level of strength.

Bai Miao was led to a riverside private room. The room was brightly lit, and the tables, chairs, and utensils were all simple and elegant. Outside the room, the river lights and fishing lights illuminated the scene.

Taichanglou is too difficult to book a table. Bai Miao had been there a few times before, and apart from thinking that the food was good, he always felt that it did not live up to its reputation.

Today's visit made me realize that it wasn't that Taichanglou couldn't live up to its reputation, but that I didn't have enough money to go both ways.

Since He Changlin was the host, the dishes served were all signature dishes of Taichanglou Restaurant, such as Amber Dragon Tail Snapper, Three-Smoked Rock Duck, and Taichang Snow Fermented Vegetables.

The taste is still the same as Bai Miao's memory.

After dinner, I took a walk along the Yujiang Trail to digest my food. I saw a girl with short arms and legs, wearing a huge woolen hat, and who was not very well-developed.

Seemingly with its vision blocked by the woolen hat, unable to see the road ahead, it stumbled and crashed into Bai Miao.

"retreat!"

The fourth spiritual technique, "Repelling the Gang," was activated immediately.

The spiritual energy gathered at a point on Bai Miao's chest, unleashing an extremely powerful force that sent the girl flying.

The girl's companions rushed over from a distance. The man at the head of the group, wearing square-framed glasses, helped the girl up with concern, checked her for injuries, and then questioned Bai Miao with displeasure:

"Qianqian is naturally absent-minded. If she offends you, you can simply talk to her nicely. Why resort to magic to hurt her?"

"I've truly witnessed the quality of people from Yujiang City today."

"How dare you hit someone and still act so self-righteous? Not only in Yujiang City, but anywhere else, I've never seen someone hit someone first and still act so self-righteous."

Yan immediately stepped forward. Knowing Bai Miao's usual character, he knew that if this woman hadn't done something, Bai Miao wouldn't have bothered with her.

"Are you sure he didn't mean to offend us because he was confused?" Bai Miao asked the man in the lead again.

Our group consists of three Tier 2 Card Masters and six Tier 1 Card Masters.

Apart from Bai Miao, none of the eight card masters noticed that the girl named Qianqian had bumped into them.

If this person is really just an ordinary person, Wei Liang and the others shouldn't bother killing monsters anymore; they should just go back to farming.

"Didn't you see you threw her to the ground? And you still think you're right!"

The bespectacled man persisted in arguing, and as the situation escalated, his stocky companion stepped forward to stop him.

"Qiu Sheng, let's stop here. This is not Changhuai City after all. Before we left, Teacher Liang told us not to cause trouble."

"Yu Cheng, if you're going to back down, then step back. Don't bring up Teacher Liang. I can't let Qianqian be bullied like this."

Qiu Sheng insisted on causing trouble, so Bai Miao activated the Seventh Spiritual Technique - Chaotic Pillar Binding, imprisoning the entire group.

He took out his Secret Service agent ID and waved it in front of Qiu Sheng so that Qiu Sheng could see it clearly.

"You are all suspected of assaulting Secret Service agents. Come with me to the Secret Service headquarters."

Bai Miao's words were like a thunderclap, stunning the four people in place.

With Bai Miao using force to control the situation first and revealing his identity later, He Changlin summoned several cars from the Taichang Tower and took the group back to the Special Operations Bureau.

No matter how Qiu Sheng and Yu Cheng explained or begged for mercy, it was useless.

They claimed to be college students who had come from Changhuai City to Yujiang City for academic exchange.

The air I couldn't swallow before, I can't breathe even when I'm begging for it.

Not long after, a man named Liang Tuo, who claimed to be their teacher, came to the Secret Service to pick up the people.

Liang Tuo was very polite and earnest, and he didn't straighten his back once he entered the room.

"These are my identification documents and communication files. They are all because of my mismanagement, which caused trouble for the Secret Service."

He signed the documents, and Bai Miao released the man.

Qiu Sheng, who was once arrogant, now lowered his head and dared not meet Bai Miao's gaze.

However, Qian Qianqian, who may or may not have been truly reckless, seemingly unintentionally pointed her toes towards Bai Miao.

Youxi, who had been taking care of her, almost couldn't hold her back.

Under Liang Tuo's watchful gaze, Qian Qianqian reluctantly followed him away.

"The intelligence department has already marked them. If what you say is true, the All Souls Society has really gone all out this time."

Yun Chuxiu bowed at the table and met Bai Miao's gaze. Bai Miao was not used to her seriousness and avoided looking down.

The moment Qian Qianqian bumped into him, Fen Yuan and Xi Xi Ha Ha simultaneously warned him.

The fact that Qian Qianqian could evoke Ka Ling's instinctive fear suggests that she does indeed harbor a secret.

Bai Miao saw in her the threads of fate that connected her to the immortal fox of the Myriad Spirits Society.

They thought capturing her would be quite a challenge, but to their surprise, they brought her back to the Secret Service so easily.

"With big stars and exchange teams all around, this All Souls' Society is really something—"

Yun Chuxiu suddenly fell silent. After thinking for a long time, she finally came up with a word that was as unflattering as possible: "You're quite capable."

The Jiangdeng Festival, held once every fifteen years, is a grand celebration for Yujiang City, and also a major cleanup operation for the Yujiang City Special Operations Bureau.

There are indeed demon gods in this world who are friendly to humans, and the existence of these demon gods is a top secret of the Secret Service.

Even with their deliberate suppression, the spiritual realms of these demon gods will continue to expand and gradually merge into the mortal world.

The River Lantern Festival, held every fifteen years, is to help a demon god from the Spirit Realm near Yujiang City weaken the Spirit Realm.

At that time, the three departments will organize teams to enter the Demon God's Spirit Realm, slay spirit beasts, harvest spirit herbs, and mine spirit ores.

The demon god continues its strange tales through the River Lantern Festival, and as long as its stories continue to circulate, it can retain its status as a demon god.

The strength of a demon beast is determined by its spiritual energy level and its rank.

Shadow Walkers - Skin Stitching - Strange Tales - Evil Sacrifices - Calamity Lord - Great Immortal - Taboos

The Corpse Ray and the Void Jellyfish that Bai Miao initially encountered were both at the Shadow Level, and could only descend to the mortal world through the Spirit Realm.

The "belly-holding old woman" belongs to the category of supernatural tales, and stories about her circulate among the people. She is said to be able to escape from the spirit world through the human body.

Spider broodmothers belong to the cult and have had their own followers throughout history.

The Six Virtuous Immortals are at the level of Great Immortals, holding extremely high positions and possessing the ability to alter the rules.

The [Six Virtues Easily Modified] obtained by Lü Dantong from sealing away part of the Six Virtues True Immortal's spirit has been able to modify the Six Virtues rules for individuals.

This is why Lü Dantong's position in the Secret Service is so special.
