Chapter 1 A Glimmer

A dazzling golden light shone into his sea of consciousness. The baleful aura in Zhang Yuanqing's heart dissipated. He broke free from the spirit inquiry and saw a disheveled Li Dongze. At the same time, he felt pain all over his body, as if he had been subjected to inhuman torture.

"Honestly, every time I devour the spiritual body of an evil profession, the Night Watcher goes berserk..."

Li Dongze threw the Vajra Pestle back to Zhang Yuanqing, straightened his clothes, and took out a pack of wet wipes from his pocket and handed them over, saying, "Wipe the blood from your nose. You must maintain elegance at all times."

Zhang Yuanqing took the wet wipes and wiped the blood stains from his nose. First, he opened the attribute panel and glanced at it, his experience points had increased by 5%, now his experience points were 52%.

Then, he sorted out the memory fragments.

The "Spiritual Energy Society Eastern District Branch" has two vice-chairmen, one is the Cunning Eye Judge, and the other is the superior of the "Outlaw."

The two vice-chairmen have been vying for the position of chairman for many years, fighting openly and secretly. After the death of the Cunning Eye Judge, that vice-chairman tried to obtain the Holy Grail and the roster, take over the inheritance of his competitor, and integrate the Eastern District Branch.

So he is also looking for Black Impermanence.

The power of the Spiritual Energy Society is very large. The Eastern District Branch alone has two vice-chairmen, both of whom are high-level Spirit Realm Travelers... Zhang Yuanqing calmed his mind and said, "Section Chief, I have discovered important clues."

Immediately, he informed Li Dongze of the list he saw in the memory fragments.

Li Dongze nodded as he listened, and when he heard the list, his eyes lit up:

"Very good, very good. With this list, we can conduct targeted investigations, so we won't be like headless flies. As expected, the one who knows the enemy best is the enemy himself."

Zhang Yuanqing pondered, "I always feel something is strange. First Ou Xiangrong, then the Outlaw, it's as if someone is sending us clues."

Li Dongze said with a smile, "You have a lot of ideas. How about this, write an analysis report for me. This is a test of your abilities."

You elegant freak, you'll lose me like this... Zhang Yuanqing's face instantly froze.

"Li Yuanfang got a good deal. Their Team Two has made a great contribution." Li Dongze said with emotion. He didn't say anything more, and walked to the door with his cane, opening the iron gate.

The members of Team Two in the corridor immediately surged up, facing the stern and serious Li Yuanfang with some expectation, and asked:

"How is it? Any clues?"

Li Dongze said with a smile, "We got a list of Black Impermanence's subordinates. Your Team Two has done a great job."

A smile spread across Li Yuanfang's stern face.

The captains of Team Two were overjoyed, their faces full of smiles.

The weight of this list can be imagined. The more important the list, the greater their contribution, and the whole team benefits.

Li Dongze said in a deep voice, "But the authenticity of the list remains to be verified."

Li Yuanfang nodded steadily, then looked at Zhang Yuanqing behind Li Dongze and said:

"When the rewards are distributed, we will extract ten percent to compensate you, thank you..."

His tone was surprisingly gentle.

Then, he said with envy, "Section Chief Li is very lucky."

The members of Team Two looked at Zhang Yuanqing with kindness and recognition.

No one objected to the section chief's compensation idea, thinking that Zhang Yuanqing deserved it.

........

Dinner.

Zhang Yuanqing sat at the dining table, enjoying the meal made by his grandmother.

Jiang Yu'er was eating while swiping short videos. She was wearing a pink sweater with two fluffy ears on the hood.

I remember when my aunt was eighteen or nineteen, she liked to collect black silk stockings, short skirts, etc., to show her mature charm.

After her 25th birthday, her dressing style began to become girlish, claiming to be a little girl and a little fairy.

The older you get, the more you like to pretend to be young.

"Don't play with your phone while eating," Grandma reprimanded.

"Just play for a while..." Auntie coquettishly said as she chewed on the food, she said:

"Yuanzi, I saw a mixed-race girl in the hospital today. She has a great figure and is beautiful. Do you know how old her husband is?"

That mixed-race girl not only has a great figure, but is also very good at driving... Zhang Yuanqing asked in cooperation:

"How old?"

"Still a college student." Auntie said with a look of disgust, "Look at you, still single, you're useless."

"Aren't you single yourself? Why are you talking about me?" Zhang Yuanqing glanced at her.

"What do you know? I'm single because I'm chaste. You're single because you're useless."

"That punch of yours, even the Overlord of Western Chu couldn't withstand it."

Grandma heard it and reprimanded her daughter, "You still have the face to talk about Yuanzi? He's focusing on his studies now, what's wrong with that? And chaste? Are you going to be a saint? Go on a blind date for me next week. I'm not asking you to get married right away, at least find a boyfriend."

Auntie diverted the trouble, pointing the finger at her nephew: "I haven't been officially hired yet, I have to focus on my career. Your grandson is thirty years old, and he doesn't have a girlfriend either."

When Grandma heard this, she thought it made sense, and looked at Chen Yuanjun, and said thoughtfully:

"Yuanjun, Grandma will arrange another blind date for you. Last time I gave the girl your photo, and she told me not to look for someone old. Grandma thinks their family has no vision... I'll ask Yu'er to make your photo look younger."

His cousin's mouth twitched, and he habitually frowned, and said in a deep voice:

"Grandma is happy, but I think Yuanzi always sleeps during the day and plays games at night these days, and doesn't focus on his studies at all. University is not the end of learning, but the starting point for entering society. My aunt is abroad, so Grandma, you should supervise Yuanzi even more. The PS5 should be smashed."

When Grandma heard this, she thought it made sense, and angrily reprimanded: "All you know is playing games all day long. You useless thing, are you forcing me to smash your game console?"

No, you're too much, bro... Zhang Yuanqing's scalp tingled. Seeing Grandma chattering endlessly, he quietly summoned the Little Rascal, ordered him to climb onto Grandpa's head, then calmed his emotions, personally took the knife, and switched Grandpa's hearing.

"Grandma, look at Grandpa, he doesn't care about anything and just lets you take care of this family alone. That's not fair."

Auntie and cousin glanced at him in surprise. This kid is so brave today.

Grandma heard this and immediately looked at Grandpa, frowning: "Old Chen, say something too... Old Chen, Old Chen?"

Grandpa had a round and cute baby lying on his head, ignoring it and silently eating.

Zhang Yuanqing quietly took back the Little Rascal. Grandpa suddenly raised his head, as if he had just heard someone calling him, frowning: "What?"

"I'm talking to you," Grandma said angrily.

"I didn't hear you."

"What do you mean, pretending to be deaf? All you know is walking, playing chess, and watching TV all day long. Am I your Chen family's servant? You don't care about your daughter, grandson, or grandson. I know who that family disgrace inherited it from..." Grandma's violent temper broke out.

Zhang Yuanqing lowered his head and ate, hiding his merit and fame.

........

Moss Pet Cafe.

The rolling shutter door was half-closed, the lights in the store were dim, and the orange halo and elm floor combined to create a soothing and calm atmosphere.

The executives from Fenghui District, Kangyang District, Jinjiang District, and Puning District gathered together, a total of eleven people. They gathered around the round table, with hot coffee on their hands.

There is no doubt that this is a high-level meeting, and what can gather executives to hold a meeting must be an elder-level figure.

Under the orange chandelier, in the center of the round table, a curly-haired Teddy dog sat proudly, speaking in a human voice:

"Everyone is here, I'll make a long story short. The fall of the Cunning Eye Judge is a major event. What have you gained in the past few days?"

This is an elder of the Hundred Flowers Society, one of the people in charge of the Cunning Eye Judge incident. He manages all the Spirit Realm Traveler teams in the above four districts and is a powerful figure who can directly report affairs to the leader.

The other executives did not speak. The executive from Fenghui District raised his hand and said in a low voice:

"My men killed a witch doctor today and confirmed that he was from the Gu King, and obtained a list from the spiritual body's memory..."

He then announced the list content.

A look of approval appeared in the curly-haired Teddy's bean-like eyes:

"Well done. Well, the spiritual body of the witch doctor is extremely manic. The Night Watcher from the Taiyi Sect needs to pay a considerable price for spirit inquiry. Compensation will be given later."

The executive from Fenghui District nodded, and he added:

"I think the Ou Xiangrong incident was not accidental. He was bait released by the Gu King to let us know about the fall of the Cunning Eye Judge. The witch doctor who was killed today was also a subordinate of the Gu King. He wants to use our official power to find Black Impermanence."

The Gu King is another vice-chairman of the Eastern District of the Spiritual Energy Society. He and the Cunning Eye Judge have been fighting for the position of chairman for more than a day or two.

The two sides are at odds.

"When the goals are the same, anyone can be friends. But the Fallen Holy Grail is extremely harmful, and it must be kept by our officials, and must never fall into the hands of the Gu King." The curly-haired Teddy's bean eyes looked around at everyone and said:

"What else do others have to add?"

The executives silently memorized the list, and a female executive frowned:

"Zhao Yingjun's example is worthy of our vigilance. I suggest that we screen all members of the Songhai branch, including the Night Watchers of the Taiyi Sect, there may be pawns of the Spiritual Energy Society lurking inside."

The curly-haired Teddy pondered for a few seconds, and nodded slowly: "In that case, we have to use the 'Tiger Talisman'. I will submit an application to the Marshal."

After the serious business was over, the Teddy turned his head and looked at Fu Qingyang, who was wearing a white suit and remained silent, and said:

"I heard that you recently recruited a Night Watcher with good potential who passed the Sheling Tunnel?"

Fu Qingyang nodded slightly, and then added: "Ou Xiangrong was also killed by him."

The curly-haired Teddy said:

"A few days ago, Elder Hongying of the Taiyi Sect contacted me, hoping to get that Night Watcher. I know Elder Sun said not to give that little guy, but the Five Elements Alliance and the Taiyi Sect have signed an agreement after all.

"Elder Hongying is in charge of personnel matters, Elder Sun's words don't count... Qingyang, what's your opinion?"

Fu Qingyang said lightly:

"Just reject her. If it's inconvenient for you, Elder, I'll call myself."

An executive of the Hundred Flowers Society immediately laughed:

"It's not a big deal. It's just a Night Watcher. Giving it to the Taiyi Sect is fine. Isn't Elder Hongying's favor more valuable? Moreover, each of our districts has a Night Watcher from the Taiyi Sect stationed, and they actively cooperate when we need them to work, right, Lao Zhang?"

Lao Zhang is the executive of Fenghui District.

The other executives remained silent and did not express their opinions on this sensitive issue.

Seeing everyone looking over, Lao Zhang frowned and said:

"Since it's Chief Fu's man, I won't express my opinion on personnel transfer, but I want to give feedback on the work attitude of the Night Watchers of the Taiyi Sect. The witch doctor who was killed today was not spirit inquired by the Night Watcher of the Taiyi Sect. He refused to cooperate on the grounds that he was not in good condition.

"My section chief had no choice but to ask for help from Team Two in Kangyang District. Heh, they came with just one phone call and without any complaints. He's just a level 1 Night Watcher.

"I personally think there is still a difference between our own Night Watchers and other people's Night Watchers."

Fu Qingyang was stunned, he didn't know about this.

After listening to Lao Zhang's words, several executives expressed their opinions:

"I think we should keep him, the Taiyi Sect doesn't lack a Night Watcher."

"Now is the time to use people, and our own people are more trustworthy."

The executive of the Hundred Flowers Society looked embarrassed and stopped talking.

The curly-haired Teddy nodded:

"Then we'll keep him. I'll reject Elder Hongying. Qingyang, Ling Jun from the Taiyi Sect will lead a team to Songhai in a few days to assist us in the search for Black Impermanence. You two are peers, usually close, and one of the Four Young Masters, you should greet them."

Fu Qingyang "hmm"ed.
