He didn’t tell her. He even hid it from her… Su Aoxue always felt that Shen Yan was keeping something from her, that he was going to do something dangerous all while being secretive about it.
“Fine, Old Shen, back from rebirth with your own secrets, huh, brother?”
“Dangerous stuff, no doubt.”
“No way! What if something happens to you!”
“Speaking of which, this hotel is on Star Moon Academy’s turf. Why not have Sister Ling Feng assign some people to keep an eye on Old Shen?”
Thinking this, Su Aoxue went straight downstairs to the front desk and called Ling Feng.
Time came to 3:00 AM. The brightness outside the window hadn’t changed much, but compared to the daytime, the number of active people at this hour had decreased significantly.
Su Aoxue wasn’t resting either; she was sitting on her bed, cultivating the Visualization Method.
Just then, the phone Ling Feng had temporarily bought for her rang.
Su Aoxue immediately realized that if Ling Feng was suddenly calling her in the middle of the night, it likely meant something had happened with Shen Yan. She answered the call. “Hello, Sister Ling Feng, has Shen Yan disappeared?”
“Yeah, he’s gone. This kid’s ability is really strange. I can barely track his movements with some special equipment. Anyway, do you want to follow him and take a look?”
Su Aoxue didn’t know exactly what Shen Yan was up to, so she didn’t tell Ling Feng the specifics. She only said that Shen Yan might have a mysterious plan in the coming days, and worried that something might happen to him, she had asked Ling Feng to keep an eye on him.
However, Su Aoxue never expected that Ling Feng herself would personally monitor Shen Yan.
“Of course, I want to follow him and check it out.”
As she said this, Su Aoxue took out the cloak Ling Feng had given her earlier and put it on. After putting up the hood, Su Aoxue’s face was completely obscured by a general mystical force, so outsiders could only see a vague, mosaic-like figure. At the same time, she also took off the necklace around her neck that could transform.
At that moment, her identity officially changed to the Frost Calamity Witch!
“Although I always planned to use this identity, this is actually my first time… Hmm, wait, I did use this identity once before when I took that mission in the base city. I guess that counts as the previous version?”
“Heh, Old Shen, don’t let me find a chance to catch you tonight!”
Su Aoxue recalled the identity she first disguised herself as. Saying she wanted to beat Shen Yan up was no joke. After all, how dare he keep such dangerous things from her! He was acting like she wasn’t his brother at all!
Soon, Su Aoxue finished changing and walked out of the room. Ling Feng was already waiting outside.
“Oh? You changed into that cloak, huh?”
“By the way, do you know what this cloak means?”
Ling Feng circled around Su Aoxue and said.
Hearing this, Su Aoxue took off the hood of her cloak and smiled a little sheepishly. “Of course I know. It means the Witch, the Truth Society, right?”
“The Truth Society’s background isn’t weak, so… it’s really not easy to adjust to. I’ve just joined the organization, but I’m already using its authority.”
Ling Feng’s gaze sharpened as she heard those words. “The place Shen Yan might be going tonight is related to the Genesis Organization. The Truth Society’s background is pretty strong, huh… it seems you’ve been hiding quite a few things from me.”
“The Genesis Organization?”
As Ling Feng slowly approached, Su Aoxue awkwardly turned her head away. “It’s just not confirmed yet, so I didn’t mention it.”
“If Shen Yan is really going to find people from the Genesis Organization, then that hidden group in the Sub-Core Base City…” Ling Feng gradually fell into thought.
As she spoke, Ling Feng took out a basketball-sized device from the Ring Space on her hand. Then, she went to Shen Yan’s door. “Come on, follow me first.”
Su Aoxue watched as Ling Feng used a spare key to open Shen Yan’s room door. Curiously, she leaned in to look at the device in Ling Feng’s hands.
“What’s that device for?”
Ling Feng held the device and scanned it across every corner of the room. Finally, the device let out a beep, and Ling Feng’s expression shifted to one of surprise.
“The entire shadow is filled with his residual energy. A very interesting ability.”
“He’s tried to eliminate traces, but he can’t evade this device’s detection.”
“Strong counter-surveillance awareness.”
Su Aoxue also leaned in to look at the display on the device. She could just make out a patch of black substance on the bed in the scan, which contrasted sharply with the original bedding.
At that moment, Ling Feng was pointing the device at Shen Yan’s bed. “Come with me.”
After saying this, Ling Feng placed her hand on Su Aoxue. Once the door was closed, she carried Su Aoxue and flew out through the window. She also closed the window behind them, making it look like no one had ever been there.
Soon, relying on the Energy Analyzer, Ling Feng tracked Shen Yan’s trail to a massive estate with an extremely large footprint.
“How can there be a place like this inside a base city!”
Seeing the grand manor houses surrounding them, Su Aoxue’s eyes widened in surprise.
In many base cities, due to space constraints, it’s impossible to set aside such large areas for private residences. The maintenance cost is simply too high.
Seeing that Shen Yan’s trail was leading to the manor in front of them, Ling Feng was quite surprised. “Looks like this kid’s target is quite big…”
Su Aoxue couldn’t help but ask, “Who lives in this place?”
“A big shot. The representative of a family in this Sub-Core Base City.”
“The Wang family.”
“I don’t know if Shen Yan came here to find someone from the Genesis Organization or something else.”
“But anyway, this family is powerful. I can’t sneak you inside. We’ll just have to watch from outside.”
“If I forcibly take you in, it might alert the enemy.”
Ling Feng spread her hands helplessly.
Su Aoxue looked at the large manor in the distance and was silent for a moment before asking, “If Old Shen gets into trouble, will you save him?”
“Save him, of course. That kid’s Talent is not low. Even if I don’t save him, someone else will step in.”
“If the person he’s looking for really is from the Genesis Organization, then not only will he be fine, but he’ll have done a great service.”
As she spoke, a hint of a strange expression began to appear on Ling Feng’s face.
