"The streets are really quiet."

The two girls walked side by side down the street. Luo Ruowei looked around at the scenery and then commented.

"Yes," Xu Ting replied, stopping her humming.

"There are no gangs on the street, and no one from the Tianyi Group. It feels completely different from the past few days."

"Perhaps all the factions used up their fighting resources yesterday?"

Luo Ruowei glanced cautiously at Xu Ting, then asked:

"Xu Ting, you seem to be in a pretty good mood."

That's for sure; they thwarted the Tianyi Group's conspiracy and even obtained the contract they desired.

Since Gray Raven was able to be saved, and Mysterious Words was also working hard to resist the Heavenly Will Group, she also needed to work harder and find someone to sign a contract with as soon as possible.

"After all, today is moving day; didn't the ancients say 'a joyous occasion for moving'?"

Besides the happy news that couldn't be told to Luo Ruowei, there was another thing to be happy about.

That means Xu Ting is preparing to move out of the dormitory at the coffee shop.

During the few days away from the coffee shop, Xu Ting finally tasted the joy of freedom.

Murder and arson don't need to be based on attendance; if you want to stay out all night, you just need to give a heads-up.

Once you've tasted this, the days of being able to resist the urge to fight and go to bed on time are gone forever...

Xu Ting had already informed Yan Yuling about the move, giving the same reason as before: to stay at Luo Ruowei's house.

In order to cover up Xu Ting's lie, Luo Ruowei had no choice but to return to her own home.

This led to her moving back in with her younger siblings.

After she said, "My home is broken, there's no point in going back."

At first, the three members of the Luo family, who were on opposing sides, did indeed have a very awkward relationship.

Although Luo Ruolan realized her past mistakes under the pressure of the Eye of Fear, she still couldn't give Luo Ruowei, who had disfigured her, a kind look.

Luo Ruowei didn't want to suffer this injustice for nothing. After several attempts to tolerate it, she still lost her temper, feeling that Luo Ruolan was still full of "the lingering poison of the Gift-Giving Cult".

Luo Ruoshan was caught in the middle, trying to reconcile the two sisters, but neither side listened to him and only used him as a mouthpiece.

As a result, the only person who could get the two sisters to communicate calmly was Xu Ting.

For Luo Ruowei, Xu Ting was her savior;

For Luo Ruolan, after being controlled by the Eye of Fear, her worship of the cult leader was transferred to Xu Ting.

Normally, she can still call him "Sister Xu Ting" or follow Luo Ruoshan's lead and call him "Big Sister Xu Ting".

But when she gets emotional, she can't help but call out "Lord Xu Ting".

Xu Ting hates being addressed as "adult" the most; if someone is called "adult," it means that someone else is being treated as a "lowly person."

Except for calling him Lord Black Phoenix, because that's just teasing the crows.

This joking way of calling her is of course another matter. She was often called "Big Brother" when her younger siblings asked her for candy at the orphanage.

Many people in the city of Koh genuinely consider themselves "adults".

In short, she strictly prohibited such behavior, including a series of strange titles such as "Lord Xu Ting," "God," and "Master."

Afterwards, she intervened in the sisters' argument twice more, which alleviated the conflict between them to some extent.

At least during the period between her killing recursion and her heart-to-heart talk with Miyan, the sisters did not have a fierce argument.

In response, Luo Ruowei once again expressed her gratitude to Xu Ting.

Just when the atmosphere was perfect, that damned crow jumped out again and started spouting nonsense:

"Lady Xu Ting is really starting to look more and more like a magical girl."

Enraged, Xu Ting cursed at Crow in the team chat for several minutes, forcing Crow to offer "I'll teach you the preliminary steps to condense a magic core" to protect himself.

Humming a cheerful tune, Xu Ting and Luo Ruowei arrived in front of the coffee shop.

Then I saw an empty hole.

The hole wasn't in the front of the coffee shop, but in the side door leading to the dormitory.

The original iron gate was completely gone, revealing a dark hole. Cracks and gaps appeared in the surrounding walls, indicating that it had been violently vandalized.

Xu Ting, unaware of what was going on, walked inside and asked a familiar-looking maid a question.

The other party replied:

"It seems that Qi Li and Sister Yu Ling had a fight."

Then he "rushed out the door".

"Rushing out the door"—what a vivid description.

Xu Ting could almost picture Qi Li swinging her prosthetic body and smashing open the iron gate.

This kid may not be good at much else, but he's definitely strong.

Could you elaborate on the specifics?

"What exactly did they argue about that escalated to this point?"

The other person thought for a moment, then lowered their voice and said:

"I don't know the specifics either. I've been here the whole time and haven't heard them arguing."

"But I heard what Qi Li said as she ran out crying."

Xu Ting asked curiously, "What did you say?"

She said—

The maid deliberately drew out the last syllable of her words, then said:

"They're all scammers."

fraud?

Xu Ting was taken aback. Who was Qi Li asking him to be a liar?

Xu Ting is indeed a fraudster who concealed her identity, but she's been busy attacking Tianyi Group these past few days, so Qi Li is definitely not talking about her.

Could the liar Qi Li was referring to be... Yan Yuling?

Moreover, the word "all" in her original statement indicates that she sees more than one liar.

Could the other swindler be the boss, Wu Wanqiu?

"Where's Foreman Yan?"

"She and the boss rushed out to look for someone," the maid said with a displeased expression.

"When Sister Ruowei went missing, Sister Yuling didn't seem this anxious."

"Qi Li has such a large prosthetic body, her self-defense ability is much better than Sister Ruowei's..."

Luo Ruowei, who was standing nearby, quickly tried to smooth things over. After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the group parted ways.

Luo Ruowei went to the dormitory, while Xu Ting went to a secluded corner and took out a communication device.

She contacted the mystery.

"Ms. Mystery, I'd like to buy some information about the location of a child named Qi Li..."

Xu Ting input his requirements into the device.

The other party replied quickly:

"I've already sent my men to look for him. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

"As for the price of this intelligence... one credit."

Mi Yan's quick agreement made Xu Ting feel a little guilty.

Now is a critical moment for the Mystery Business, and Tianyi Group is definitely plotting something to counterattack.

However, she regarded Xu Ting's request as a top priority and even waived the cost of intelligence.

"This attitude is the most troublesome..." Xu Ting thought to himself.

In the mercenary world she was familiar with, everything should have a price tag, and personal relationships were merely an excuse to start the next deal.

After putting away his communication devices, Xu Ting returned to his dormitory and began moving.

She didn't actually have many personal belongings. She had already taken the important items with her, and the gold bars and guns in the storage cabinet had been moved to the Gift-Giving Cult's stronghold.

Therefore, she didn't spend much time packing up what she needed to take.

Luo Ruowei brought a huge pile of clothes she had bought.

Just as I was about to grab my clothes and head out, my communication device received a message from Miyan.

"We've found our target."

"Some gangs are also looking for her, but their motives are unclear at the moment."

Looking at the location in the message sent by Mi Yan, Xu Ting fell into deep thought.

She picked up the clothes, walked to Luo Ruowei's bedroom, and placed the clothes on the latter's bed.

"Please help me take your things back."

Luo Ruowei was about to complain, but after seeing Xu Ting's expression, she also became serious:

"Is there something important?"

Xu Ting nodded.

She might get involved in something related to "sickly little girl" again.
