Their commission was suspicious.

Just as the little fox took flight, Chen Luo scooped it up in one swift motion.

"Give me a break, you can't possibly beat her." Chen Luo stroked the little fox, trying to calm it down.

Then Chen Luo lifted the little fox's paw to take a look and found that there was nothing seriously wrong, just a tooth mark.

It's not a big problem, probably...

The good news is that the fox's fur is very strong and doesn't shed easily, so the other party's fur wasn't damaged.

Otherwise, the little fox would definitely cry even harder.

"Chen Luo, you're back?" Upon hearing Chen Luo's voice, Cang Xuanzhi, who was wearing an eye patch, happily removed the eye patch.

"Hurry up and cook, I want to eat! Honestly. It's already past two o'clock and you're only just coming back." Cang Xuanzhi glanced at the time and complained to Chen Luo.

"..."

"Huh? What's wrong with the little fox? I remember now, it must be because you didn't prepare breakfast for her this morning, so she's angry, right? A-Luo, you really are something, you only know how to prepare breakfast for me, but you don't even know how to prepare breakfast for the little fox." Cang Xuanzhi also saw the little fox in Chen Luo's arms, and the little fox's angry and aggrieved expression, so he immediately questioned Chen Luo.

"...Cang Xiaoxuan, have you ever thought about something? That the breakfast this morning was actually for both you and the little fox." Chen Luo finally said it.

Chen Luozhen had never seen such a shameless person.

"How could that be?"

"Why not? That fried tofu was clearly prepared for the little fox, so how did you feed it to him?"

"Oh dear, isn't fried tofu meant to be served with steamed buns?" Cangxuan Zhishu exclaimed in surprise.

"……no."

"Why didn't you say so earlier? Look how hungry the little fox is, why don't you hurry up and cook for her? She's almost crying from feeling so wronged."

“No, you may have misunderstood again. The little fox was indeed angry that it didn’t have breakfast, but it was so aggrieved that it almost cried. It wasn’t because it didn’t have breakfast.” Chen Luo interrupted Cang Xuanzhi’s attempt to change the subject.

"Oh, right, it's already noon, it must be because they haven't had lunch yet." Cang Xuanzhi glanced at his watch and suddenly realized.

It's already 2 PM, we should be having lunch by now.

"No, it was just angry because some lazy, gluttonous armed doll had been biting its paws all morning and noon. What did you think that furry thing you were biting just now was?" Chen Luo suddenly felt helpless.

So the Book of Azure was supposedly created to take care of Fu Hua?

He's lazy and loves to eat and sleep. He'd rather sit than stand, and what's worse, he's infuriating.

This doesn't seem like someone who can take care of people at all.

"Fine, little fox, all I did was eat your breakfast! And you shoved your paw into my mouth in revenge! How despicable!" Cangxuan Zhishu glared angrily at the little fox.

"Waaah! Waaah! Woof!" The little fox, who was hiding in Chen Luo's arms and feeling sad, was almost furious after hearing Cang Xuan Zhi Shu's shameless remarks. It even imitated the sound of a dog barking.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, sweetie..." Chen Luo quickly comforted the little fox.

Of course, simply touching and comforting is not enough; it also requires the ability of a knowledgeable person to regulate the body.

After all, the Book of Cangxuan is just too infuriating.

Of course, this is mainly because Cangxuan knows nothing about the Book of the Azure Mystery and is still completely clueless.

But the key is that this kind of situation is infuriating.

While helping the little fox process its emotions, Chen Luo also discovered the extent of the little fox's mental health.

Chen Luo's ability as a Herrscher of Knowledge is not as good as that of a Herrscher of Reality, but Chen Luo can still see that the little fox is very smart.

Perhaps the little fox is a spirit beast from some other world. If that's the case, is it possible that it could truly repay the debt of gratitude?

In that case, I'd like a maid.

"Cang Xiaoxuan, is it possible that the little fox came to find you to wake you up, and you ended up grabbing its paw and stuffing it into your mouth? Instead of the fox putting its paw into your mouth on its own initiative?" Chen Luo suggested another possibility.

"Emmm..." Cangxuan Zhishu looked at Chen Luo's helpless expression and the little fox's aggrieved and angry expression as if it wanted to bite something to pieces, and roughly understood some things.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I was wrong." Cangxuan Zhishu apologized immediately, and the speed of his apology surprised Chen Luo.

"Alright, since you've admitted your mistake, how about giving your lunch to the little fox? Consider it an apology." Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief seeing that Cangxuan Zhishu was willing to admit his mistake.

"No way! I'd rather lose my head or bleed than give up lunch!" Cangxuan Zhishu resolutely refused.

"...Well, you're really awesome." Chen Luo glanced at the Book of Cangxuan with disdain.

"How about I... I let her have half of her lunch?" Cang Xuanzhi looked at Chen Luo pitifully.

"Alright, I just called you guys here for lunch anyway. Lunch is plentiful, so hurry up and go to the bar. I was wondering why none of you came. Turns out you weren't awake at all, and the little fox didn't meet the requirements to summon the bar..." Chen Luo sighed heavily, then glared at the Cangxuan Book.

"You say you sleep at home all day, can't you do something productive?" Chen Luo looked at the Cangxuan Book like a parent who came home to find their child still playing on their phone.

"Ah, important business? What important business?" Cangxuan Zhishu was taken aback.

"Have you washed the dishes? Sweeped the floor? Mopped the floor? Homework..."

"Stop, stop, stop! What homework did you come up with?" Cangxuan's Book suddenly interrupted Chen Luo.

"Of course it's my homework," Chen Luo said matter-of-factly.

"Your homework?"

“I just remembered, besides my handwritten homework, I also need to attend online classes to accumulate time. You're just staying at home with nothing to do…” Chen Luo looked at the Book of Cangxuan.

Taking online classes is a bad habit, especially those that are completely useless.

Furthermore, now that Chen Luo has mastered furniture, reading books is the fastest way for him to increase his knowledge, rather than watching videos.

Besides, Chen Luo is saving the world during the day and running a bar at night, so how could he have time to study?

That Yunxia, ​​not knowing how to go all the way in saving lives, also took over the online homework as well...

"But...but that's clearly your homework, why do I have to do it?"

"Of course I have to go out to work during the day, otherwise you two would go out to earn money to support the family?" Chen Luo pointed to a little fox and then to the Book of Cangxuan.

"So you mean I have to help you accumulate online class hours at home?"

Although Cangxuan doesn't know exactly what the online courses are, he roughly understands from the meaning of the words; it's probably something like watching videos and accumulating time.

"That's right. And to prevent you from being lazy, you have to write a reflection of no less than 200 words after each lesson..."

The thought that he had been working hard all day while Cangxuan Zhishu had slept from morning until noon and then into the afternoon made Chen Luo feel extremely unbalanced.

Therefore, it's necessary to find something for the Book of Azure Profound to do.

A 200-word review is already too short; a few rambling words will suffice.

"No...!" the Book of Cangxuan cried out in anguish.

"Old relic, where are you? I miss you..."

Although I went hungry for three days following Fu Hua, at least I didn't have to take online classes. It's just that the accommodations were a bit worse, the food was much worse, and the menu was too monotonous...

Emmm...

"Okay, I'll help you finish your online classes."

Cangxuan Zhishu turned its little head and realized that following Chen Luo was indeed much better than following Fu Hua. Although it required learning to watch online classes and writing reviews, at least there was good food.

This isn't to say that the Book of Azure doesn't need Fu Hua anymore. The key issue is that Chen Luo and Shi Bao, these two Herrschers, don't even go to the Honkai Impact 3rd world. How is the Book of Azure supposed to see Fu Hua then?

"Alright, you guys go to the bar first, I have some things to take care of." Chen Luo said to his two little pets after summoning the bar door.

"Don't be angry. I'll give you two servings of fried tofu later."

"Eek..." The little fox didn't seem very satisfied with this, but there was nothing it could do now. Seeing Chen Luo's slightly solemn expression, the little fox knew it was time to leave.

"Sigh, I wanted to interact with you all as an ordinary person, but all I got in return was surveillance. I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean. You son of a bitch, sending people to spy on me, do you think I have no temper?" Chen Luo looked menacingly towards the southeast of his house.

Since absorbing Shen He's murderous aura and evil energy, Chen Luo has also been somewhat tainted by it. Of course, this is mainly because Chen Luo has not yet used any raw stones to dispel the influence.

After becoming the Lawrence of Knowledge, Chen Luo became very sensitive to any kind of spying. Chen Luo also believed that the Lawrence of Knowledge must have discovered it as well, but he didn't know why they didn't say anything.

I don't know if it's because I've gotten used to it or what?

Before becoming a Herald of Knowledge, Chen Luo hadn't noticed anything. He did notice it after returning home from the hotel from the bar last night, but it was too late to pay attention. Now that person is still here, so don't blame Chen Luo for being ruthless.

Of course, we also need to check whether it's benign or malicious surveillance, and who its owner is.

Whether it's benign or malicious surveillance, that person needs to be dealt with.

A solution in every sense.

“Your Excellency, that’s right, it hasn’t been discovered yet.” A girl with a ponytail stood in a room on the third floor of a detached villa, observing the distance through binoculars through the window while making a satellite phone call.

[Be careful to conceal yourself. Of the 12 people sent out to monitor you, 6 have already withdrawn under pressure. The remaining 4 were also gradually eliminated to hide you two, and the third is being monitored by the other side. But they will never imagine that the real infiltration will be carried out using the most unassuming and unpretentious methods.]

"Understood, Your Excellency."

[Alright, here's a report on the current status of target surveillance.]

"The current surveillance status of the target is 0, because he hasn't left his house for several days. Due to the limitations of the angle and the inability to use special powers, we cannot observe him more specifically, but we can see that his daily routine is quite in line with the patterns of a normal person." The girl answered, looking at everything she had recorded.

The normal method of surveillance in the underworld is to use various techniques and detective methods.

However, since it generates spiritual energy fluctuations, it will naturally be detected.

Therefore, the most basic and unpretentious method of surveillance is actually to use a telescope.

The most unassuming and discreet way to sneak in would naturally be for a genuine relative of the family to come and visit.

And coincidentally, the girl who was sent met all the criteria.

Never left the house before?

"Yes, I've never left the house. Just like some homebodies, it's normal."

No, that's not normal. You're not a professional; you were just assigned this important task because of your own circumstances. That's why you haven't noticed that it's highly unusual for the other person to be staying home and not going out at all.

"What do you mean?" the girl asked curiously.

The girl was only brought in to make up the numbers because she met the requirements; her job was not to be a monitor.

[In the words of an old Chinese proverb, "Something unusual must be going on." The information indicates that the person is a very kind-hearted individual who, starting two years ago, has consistently spent every holiday doing good deeds instead of being idle. The most unusual thing is that they are now completely staying home.]

"Well, is it time for Your Excellency to close the net now?"

No, the other person might not have gone to do good deeds; it could be due to a change in mindset caused by the awakening of their powers, which is perfectly normal.

"What should we do then?"

"Find an opportunity to get close to him and go to his house. As soon as you sense any evidence of Yvette's presence, you can arrest her immediately."

"understood."

After hanging up the phone and placing it aside, the girl straightened her clothes and prepared to visit her "neighbors" with the gifts.

"Sigh, I never expected that I would slip up in this area..." A sigh made the girl instantly alert.

Chapter 186: Is the way to rise to prominence to become someone else's puppet?

"Who?" The girl lifted her skirt with both hands and slashed at her thighs, revealing two knife handles. After a slight flash of light, two sharp blades gleaming with cold light appeared in front of the handles.

Where are you looking?

"Whoosh!" Sensing the sound coming from behind, the girl threw the sharp blade that shimmered with holy light backward without hesitation.

"Clang!" But all the girl heard in response was the sound of a sharp blade piercing wood.

"Hmm, graduated from Winchester College and recently received an offer from the University of St Andrews. Tsk tsk, quite the high achiever. But both of these schools have some connection to the church... A bunch of good-for-nothings, you can't even see that, how did you manage to sneak in?"

The former is a famous British secondary school that produced Henry Cichliy, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the latter, needless to say, has the word "Saint" in his name.

Of course, both of them have a rather secretive connection with the church. It can only be said that the religious atmosphere is slightly strong, but it is not particularly outstanding, so it is quite normal for them to be overlooked.

"Oh, are you from the Yun family? I didn't mean any harm, it was just an order. I didn't have any ulterior motives towards that boy named Chen Luo... After all, as long as he is indeed innocent, our church will naturally not take action."

"Then... what if you don't want to be innocent?" the unfamiliar voice asked, drawing out the question.

"Uh... Your Excellency must be joking. Although A-rank talents have great potential, the gap is still quite large compared to Yvette, who is about to break through to the next rank." The girl paused for a moment before saying.

The girl was willing to take the job because, on the one hand, she was indeed quite qualified and would not arouse suspicion, and on the other hand, the job was easy.

How can an A-level talent, especially one that has just awakened, possibly fight an S-level talent?

It's still that warmonger, Yvette.

Although the girl only came into contact with the dark world through the church after becoming a gifted individual and doesn't yet know much about the church's inner workings, she is quite aware of Yvette's terrifying nature.

Yvette's importance is self-evident; she is a potential S-level breakout talent. Therefore, her disappearance has made more than a dozen people who may be related to her key targets of surveillance. Among these key targets, Chen Luo is the easiest to monitor and the weakest.
