During the conversation, Zhao Nandi suddenly glanced at the leader patrolman's chest and spoke a series of patrol numbers.

The man's face turned pale. He sighed lightly and remained silent.

Zhao Nandi turned to Zhou Leng and added, "He's just following orders, it's probably not related to him."

The patrolman's eyes brightened, showing gratitude, and in his heart, he cursed Tian Wenhua and the ancestors of the Shuangjiao Exploration Company.

"Good... Once the matters with the Ancient River Ruins are over, when I return to the capital, I'll visit your home and taste your aunt's cooking."

Zhao Nandi put away the Demon Brain and said, "Wait for a call."

"Thank you, Ms. Zhao." The patrolman bowed his head slightly to express his gratitude.

The other patrol members sighed inwardly, these two people truly have a presence, each carrying significant backgrounds, yet they don't make things difficult for others.

In their minds, they recalled the surnames of the leaders in the patrol system, number one is not surnamed Sun, fine, then... number two is surnamed.

Some patrolmen began to sweat at the back.

In less than three minutes, the patrolman's phone rang.

His expression changed, and he quickly walked a few steps away to answer the call.

He bowed his head, not saying a word, only repeatedly agreeing.

Soon, he put away his phone, glanced gratefully at Zhao Nandi and Zhou Leng, and made a martial artist's fist gesture.

"Offended you, thank you both."

He dared not say much, leading the other patrol members away.

Xu Qingjin had long circled to Zhou Leng's side, softly letting out a breath of relief.

"Will everything be fine?" Xu Qingjin looked at Zhou Leng.

"Just a small issue." Zhou Leng was completely unconcerned.

Zhao Nandi glanced at Xu Qingjin and smiled, "Qing Jin, if there's danger, will you leave me to protect Zhou Leng?"

Xu Qingjin smiled gently.

Zhou Leng said, "Teacher Zhao, sorry to trouble you this time."

Zhao Nandi said, "No trouble, just a small matter. Even without me, you could handle it, I just acted in passing. Though it's a small matter, if it escalates, it would look bad on all sides, perhaps even the Patrol Office would thank you and me for resolving it internally."

Zhou Leng said, "Indeed."

Zhao Nandi said, "With a call from Xiongjing, this matter is basically concluded. If anyone still bothers you because of this, contact me."

A flash of sharpness flickered through Zhao Nandi's beautiful eyes.

"Alright." Zhou Leng said.

The two escorted Zhao Nandi to the car, Zhao Nandi taking out two pale gold gift bags and giving them to the two.

"These are small gifts I brought from Xiong City, take them."

The two hesitated, but Zhao Nandi shoved them into their hands, so they accepted.

After bidding farewell to Zhao Nandi, the two each carrying gift bags walked towards Ruda.

"Sister Nan Di is really beautiful, all our classmates have become her little fans."

"You're not allowed to call her sister."

"Why?"

"Taking advantage of me."

"Haha, she told me to, even asked many things about you."

"You told her everything?"

"Ah."

"Elbows turn outwards."

"Not at all... But, Sister Nan Di's family background is quite extraordinary."

"Hmm."

Xu Qingjin noticed Zhou Leng was indifferent, understanding he only valued Zhao Nandi as a Divine Text teacher, not caring about anything else.

As they walked, Zhou Leng said, "I'll have more cultivation time in the future, probably will often go to the Otherworld for trials, you try not to wander around, focus on studying Divine Texts."

"I know, besides, I heard the school is about to lock down, I heard some students were harmed a few days ago."

"That serious?" Zhou Leng asked.

"Some well-informed students said it might be more serious than we think." Xu Qingjin said.

"Then we need to be more cautious."

Xu Qingjin still had to deal with the Divine Language Association's matters, after Zhou Leng sent her to the door, he turned and left.

As Xu Qingjin walked in with Zhao Nandi's gift, everyone at the Divine Language Association looked over.

Several familiar classmates and seniors approached, chatting and laughing, while others listened in.

"Did Teacher Zhao Nandi leave?"

"Yes, she was in a hurry to go to the Ancient River Ruins, left directly by car." Xu Qingjin said.

"Teacher Zhao Nandi is truly beautiful, better looking than stars on TV."

"I almost shouted when I saw her lecturing on stage, she was so charming..."

"Did you know Teacher Zhao beforehand?"

"No, Zhou Leng met her first, I was indirectly introduced through Zhou Leng." Xu Qingjin said.

"We were all speculating why she came, so it was because of Zhou Leng, right?"

"Yes, Zhou Leng invited her." Xu Qingjin said.

"I heard Zhou Leng is an Intermediate Divine Text Researcher?"

"Yes."

"That's impressive..."

The students chatted.

"Is this a gift from your boyfriend Zhou Leng?"

Xu Qingjin's cheeks flushed, sweetness in her heart, and said, "This was given by Teacher Zhao Nandi."

"What? Teacher Zhao is so thoughtful? That's great, could it be a little gift related to Divine Texts?"

"Maybe it's a rare Divine Text cultural creation, can we see it?"

Xu Qingjin hesitated for a moment, estimating it was some small things from Xiong City, and then took them out.

Inside was a box, about the size of a mooncake box.

Opening the box, there were multiple compartments.

A bottle of perfume, a pill box, and some culturally creative items related to Divine Texts and blind boxes.

"Youthful Appearance Pill..."

Everyone gathered around to take a closer look.

Every girl has heard of this name.

The Youthful Appearance Pill is the world's top luxury cosmetic product.

It conditions the body, protects the skin, fights aging and wrinkles. Just one pill can solve most skin problems, making you look ten years younger.

"Xu Qingjin is really lucky..."

Everyone's gaze changed.

The relationship between Zhao Nandi and either Zhou Leng or Xu Qingjin is probably much deeper than expected.

Xu Qingjin didn't expect that on their first meeting, Zhao Nandi would give such a precious gift, so she hurried outside to call Zhou Leng.

"Zhou Leng, Teacher Zhao Nandi gave me a Youthful Appearance Pill."

"Just accept it and thank her in passing."

"It's too valuable."

"There's no way to return it now, so just accept it," Zhou Leng said.

"Is it to thank you for saving her at the airport?"

"Probably, we should bring her some gifts next time we go to Xiong City."

"Okay."

Zhou Leng hung up the demonized watch and took out Zhao Nandi's gift from the Magic Spirit Bag.

Originally, he didn't think much of it and hadn't looked.

He took out the gift box and opened it.

Three pill boxes, each with the same words written on them.

Innate Protection Realm Pill.

The most important pill for the Qi Blood Realm.

When the Qi Blood Realm attempts to break through to the Innate Realm, various situations and unexpected events occur.

It's quite normal to fail in the breakthrough.

Being too weak, with insufficient power, leads to failure.

Being too strong, with a body and Dantian too strong, increases the difficulty and leads to failure.

People who are too weak or too strong will inevitably need several attempts to succeed.

If the breakthrough fails, at best it exhausts power, at worst it injures you, requiring a long time before attempting another breakthrough.

The effect of the Protection Realm Pill is to withstand the damage caused by failure.

If you're too weak, the Protection Realm Pill merely prevents damage.

But if failure occurs because you're too strong, the Protection Realm Pill absorbs the power during the breakthrough process, directly converting it into a Promotion Pill, integrating into the body to enhance innate strength.

It's said that the original formula for the Protection Realm Pill was a special enhancement pill, later adjusted by humans into the Protection Realm Pill.

Each pill is worth tens of millions.

Recently, Zhang Xinglie mentioned to Zhou Leng to pay attention to Protection Realm Pills. If conditions allow, buy more, preferably prepare nine of them, so you can make a single push when breaking through to the Innate Realm.

Because there is a saying that being too strong in a breakthrough failure is essentially not failure, but expanding the innate limit.

The Protection Realm Pill is to enhance this effect.

Nine Pills Guarding Realm is the highest record.

"I don't know how many pills it will ultimately take for me to guard the realm, but I'll slowly accumulate nine Protection Realm Pills. They're hard to buy."

Zhou Leng took a photo and sent it to Zhao Nandi.

"Thank you, Sister Nandi. If I can advance to the Innate Realm, it'll be all thanks to your Protection Realm Pills."

"You can definitely advance to the Innate Realm!" she replied with a smiley face.

Zhou Leng truly didn't expect Zhao Nandi to be so generous. In fact, the pills she personally fed him when injured at the airport were already enough to repay the life-saving favour. Those pills alone were worth nearly fifty million.

He put away the Protection Realm Pills and began cultivation.

Martial Guard Bureau.

Wang Boxiong ended the call.

Earlier, it was a call from the Patrol Office, stating that the investigation on Zhou Leng was a misunderstanding and mentioned that the Shuangjiao Exploration Company was involved.

Wang Boxiong quickly flipped through the intelligence on Shuangjiao.

The headquarters of Shuangjiao is in the Eagle Alliance, where the power of the Demon Worship Sect is extremely rampant.

It could even be said that it's the real base of the Fishman Sect, deeply connected with conglomerates.

To Shuangjiao Exploration Company, all parties turn a blind eye.

After thinking for a long time, Wang Boxiong personally dialed several phones.

"Bring all your subordinates and gather at the Martial Guard Bureau. Tonight, we'll conduct a top-secret operation, I'll lead personally."

That night, over two thousand Martial Guards assembled, splitting into multiple routes.

Other teams directly headed to the various factories of Shuangjiao.

Grandmaster Wang Boxiong personally led a team, storming into the Shuangjiao headquarters in Rucheng for a comprehensive search.

The Shuangjiao Company and Demon Worship Sect were caught off guard, with a large amount of evidence found, and many demonized martial artists were arrested or killed.

All major forces in Rucheng stayed awake the entire night.

The next day, Xue Tongming and Xue Chengsong stayed up all night, their eyes bloodshot.

Shuangjiao Exploration Company's Rucheng branch is one of the giants in Rucheng, ranking in the top ten among the city's exploration companies.

The Martial Guard Bureau's high-profile search of such a large company without any leaks led to a state of panic and tension among all the city's exploration companies.

Although Xue's doesn't cooperate with the Demon Worship Sect, they indirectly deal with related exploration companies.

The two of them sat from dusk till dawn, neither daring to sleep, always awaiting news.

Xue's just swallowed a big chunk, and in case of any disturbances, they needed to prepare in advance.

Xue Chengsong glanced at the freshly risen sun and said, "Won't it affect us?"

"It shouldn't."

"Not a single piece of information?"

"I saw another piece of news saying it's related to the Demon Worship Sect's city attack."

"Could it be that they're planning to uproot Shuangjiao completely?"

"Some reports say it's a solo operation by the Martial Guard Department. If it were officially sanctioned, there'd be a comprehensive action by all parties, without excluding the Patrol Office."

"It's strange, indeed. It's rare to see them acting without the Patrol Office."

"Anyway, there's unrest everywhere. It's Shuangjiao, after all. A single step from them shakes all of Rucheng."

"Let's hope it doesn't involve us. Xue's is small and insignificant," Xue Chengsong muttered softly.

Soon, the demonized watch of Xue Tongming rang. He got up, answered, and walked to the window.
