I, disguised as a white dragon, was supported by the state.

These branches were exceptionally flexible, and she carefully collected them one by one.

She was going to soak them in water and then crush them... to make paper as described in the notes.

Even though it wasn't finished, she already sensed the extraordinary nature of this paper.

According to Bai Long, this is talisman paper that can be used to draw talismans with supernatural powers.

She felt extremely excited at the thought that she could be a part of it.

She smiled as she looked at Guan Mi, who was experimenting with mixing "talisman ink" on the other side.

This girl is spoiled but not arrogant, polite to others, and very likable.

Every time she saw her clinging to Bailong's side, she couldn't help but smile like an aunt.

Bai Long also doted on her.

Every time she sees her, Lu Mengdi can't help but think of her father, who has always treated her like a precious gem.

She plans to go back to visit him in a few days, and it would be best if she could bring her father to live nearby.

Over the years, he has done a lot of heavy work to treat his illness, and his health has never been very good.

With that thought in mind, Lu Mengdi cut off another branch.

In no time, the tree in front of us became a bare "bare trunk".

Lu Mengdi hesitated for a moment and decided not to peel off the bark for the time being, but to wait for it to recover for a while.

……

Zhang Yu had no idea that the tree he had carefully chosen was even balder than he was.

He ripped out a clump of hair and stared at the petri dish in front of him with bloodshot eyes.

He had been working non-stop in the laboratory for three days in order to cultivate a strain of bacteria that was more sensitive to dragon energy.

It's been many years since he's spent so much time in the lab.

After gaining fame, he mostly did planning, coordination, review and summary work, and rarely did experiments personally like this.

But this matter concerns my future, so I can't be careless.

Anyway, he's physically stronger than the guys in the lab, and he can work overtime better.

Dr. Zhang's face lit up with joy as he watched the bacteria under the microscope multiply rapidly.

He looked away from the microscope and peered into the petri dish with his naked eye.

Seeing a hint of blue gradually appear there, he excitedly pumped his fist: "Success!"

A cheer erupted from inside the laboratory.

"Dr. Zhang, how about we have a celebratory dinner tonight?" a researcher with tousled hair asked expectantly.

“Now is not the time to celebrate,” Zhang Yu said seriously, his joy quickly fading. “This is only the first phase; we still have a lot to do…”

"Brothers, give it your all," he promised, "Once this succeeds, you will all be remembered in history!"

Seeing that some people were still sickly and seemed to lack strength, he encouraged them, "I promise you all, if this succeeds, you will receive rewards you never dare to dream of!"

"Could it be that I'll be rewarded with an apartment in Yancheng?" a young researcher asked with a grin.

Dr. Zhang smiled mysteriously: "Houses in Yancheng are nothing!"

He made up his mind that he would shamelessly let these guys get some benefits from him when the time came.

If all else fails, I'll draw my own blood for them to study once I become a Dragon Guard.

Just a few days ago, they were still asking where the blood they drew from Lei Yao came from, and inquiring if there was any extra. They were all clearly very interested!

……

Chapter 91 The little cotton-padded jacket leaks air

Zhang Yu's research is progressing rapidly.

His hair seemed to be thinning, his dark circles were getting heavier, but his expression was always very excited.

He no longer visited the Dragon Palace as frequently as before.

This made Bai Lin, who was used to this guy, feel a little uncomfortable.

Lei Yao was also finding it difficult to adapt.

He has been training on the mountain these days, receiving personal guidance from Bai Lin, and his strength has improved by leaps and bounds.

He didn't know how strong he was now, only that if he were placed in ancient times, he could fight against ten thousand men with his bare hands.

He enjoys his life now.

This is certainly not because Zhang Yu's sweetheart is here.

Perhaps old classmates account for about 10% of the reason.

When Bai Lin asked him to leave and explore those ancient sites, he felt a pang of reluctance.

Realizing his own laxity, Lei Yao immediately snapped out of it and shouted, "I will definitely complete the mission!"

The loud voice echoed in the Dragon Palace, attracting the attention of Guan Mi and Lu Mengdi, who were drying paper.

"You can speak a little softer," Bai Lin said.

He didn't know where this guy's inexplicable excitement came from.

“Okay, Mr. Bai,” Lei Yao said, his voice lower, “I’ll bring a few…”

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Lin interrupted him, saying, "You don't need to report this to me. If you discover other places where dragon energy might exist, you can take a look at them as well."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Tell me immediately if you find anything!"

Lei Yao immediately agreed.

After consulting Bai Lin about some details, he led his men away from Yatou Mountain that same day.

He brought five people with him.

These were all his handpicked subordinates.

They are reliable, talented, and quick-witted.

The group was quite excited when they learned that they were going to work for Bai Long.

Given the special circumstances and the inconvenience of going out openly, everyone was dressed in plain clothes.

Not long after leaving the mountain, Lei Yao frowned slightly.

"Team Leader Lei, is there a situation?" a subordinate asked.

They were very familiar with Lei Yao and understood his personality.

The other person wouldn't have that expression if there wasn't something wrong.

Lei Yao shook his head, indicating to the driver that he didn't need to slow down.

The car sped along the highway.

About half an hour later, they arrived at the nearest city.

According to their plan, they were to transfer to a high-speed train to a Longshan Culture site in a neighboring province.

Although they were dressed in ordinary clothes, their unique military bearing made them stand out in the crowd.

Among the listless young people, few are as energetic as they are, especially since several of them appeared in succession.

From the moment they entered the station after having their tickets checked, many people were watching them.

They were used to the way ordinary people looked at them.

Lei Yao actually regretted it a little.

He originally didn't want to reveal his whereabouts and politely declined Liu Chongyu's offer of a "special passage," but now it seems that he had completely miscalculated.

Taking a special passage might actually make you more discreet.

Lei Yao stood on the security checkpoint with his arms outstretched and eyes looking ahead.

His peripheral vision was scanning his surroundings, and the tips of his ears twitched slightly.

Several subordinates stood behind or beside him, casually looking around.

"Number one is in charge of the man in black at three o'clock, wearing sunglasses and carrying a laptop bag; number two is in charge of the woman in a red dress pulling a white suitcase at six o'clock..." He suddenly spoke up, pointing out several locations, and said in a deep voice, "Move out now!"

The security inspector, holding the security scanner, looked somewhat bewildered upon hearing this.

However, as Lei Yao's voice fell, he saw the man in front of him rush out like a gust of wind.

The subordinates scattered without a second's hesitation.

By the time the security guard realized what was happening, the group had already spread out inside and outside the entrance and pinned several men and women to the ground.

Chaos erupted in the hall.

Fortunately, two patrol officers quickly stepped forward.

Upon seeing Lei Yao's work ID, they all tacitly turned to maintain order.

……

"How many spies did Lei Yao catch?" Bai Lin asked.

“Yes,” Guan Mi said excitedly, “He said he felt like he was being watched shortly after coming down the mountain, but he couldn’t sense the exact location of the person watching him…”

Bai Lin nodded secretly.

As one's strength increases, one's five senses will also be enhanced, making one more sensitive to the attention of others, and this may even transform into an instinct to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.

The reason Bai Lin had always disliked Yuan Run was because he sensed that the guy was not being sincere.

Back then, when that guy flattered and fawned over him every day with hostility, he felt like he was watching a clown putting on a ridiculous show in front of him.

Lei Yao was not surprised to sense that he was being watched by others.

Guan Mi said with great interest, "He didn't say a word, pretending not to notice, until he arrived at the station and saw the people monitoring him. Only then did he order his subordinates to act together and capture all those spies in one fell swoop!"

Guan Mi said longingly, "Such a good opportunity, I hope I can have it next time!"

Bai Lin stared at her speechlessly.

Guan Mi chuckled, patted his chest, and declared confidently, "Now I'm no worse than Captain Lei!"

Bai Lin nodded perfunctorily.

Guan Mi then brought up the matter of spies again.

"Those spies are so hateful! They're all from Great Xia, bribed by foreigners. They don't even know who's behind them. They're both stupid and wicked!" she said angrily.

"Sister Lu said that it's possible that people abroad have guessed about Mr. Bai's existence." Her tone was more worried.

"Oh?" Bai Lin became interested.

Guan Mi recounted the application of the water control flag in Jiangcheng a few days ago.

“They didn’t expect the water control flag to evaporate the rainwater directly, creating a vacuum zone. There’s still discussion about it online. It must be that foreign intelligence agencies have noticed this. Combined with the miracle drug Mr. Bai gave us, the US aircraft carrier, and a series of other things, they’ve guessed Mr. Bai’s existence!” Guan Mi said.

There's something else she didn't mention.

Bai Lin has been going out frequently lately; what if someone notices something amiss?

"Has anything happened at your home lately?" Bai Lin suddenly asked.

Just as Guan Mi was about to shake his head, his phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at Bai Lin in surprise, then answered the phone.

A few seconds later, her expression changed drastically, but she quickly returned to normal.

"It's good that you're alright. Be careful when you walk, avoid those tall buildings, and don't end up like my mom!" she said.

After exchanging a few words, she hung up the phone.

When she turned to Bai Lin, her expression became much more serious.

“My dad said he was almost hit by a flowerpot that fell from a great height,” she said.

She had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
