Chapter 056: The True Identity of Qing Gui In the commercial office building where the "Demon Slayer" department in Yongcheng was located, the team members who had completed their mission had changed into fresh clothes and were sitting in the conference room. Jiang Ye sat alone in the corner, silently staring at the red umbrella next to her. As the young miss of the Jiang family and a level 9 "Walker" cultivator, Jiang Ye didn't need to attend the Demon Slayer meetings. But she came anyway. So the members of the Demon Slayer department had no choice but to offer her coffee and prepare a seat for her. At this moment, the team leader was summarizing, leading the members to analyze the flaws in their operation. Lei Ya had died, but there was no reason to celebrate. If not for "Qing Gui" appearing, the consequences would have been unpredictable, and there would have been developments that no one wanted to see. "Qing Gui, the evil ghost in green, the black blade under the red umbrella." Suddenly, someone spoke up, "Everyone, does anyone remember the foundational battle at the bar in the neighboring city?" Everyone woke up as if from a dream. "That's right!" "The forums say that the person who fought with the 'Xie Xiu Mu Dan' was a shadow wielding a knife!" "Hehe, we didn't embarrass ourselves in the Demon Slayer department. 'Que Xie' doesn't have the right to scold us." Ripples appeared in Jiang Ye's eyes, and her dim pupils flickered with a gleam. She had found a clue... For some reason, ever since Qing Gui left, Jiang Ye always felt "unwilling." The girl was very "unwilling." Perhaps it was because he came suddenly and left just as suddenly, or perhaps it was because she didn't understand his inexplicable confession. But what Jiang Ye truly cared about was Qing Gui's intent with the knife. He was someone of the same age as her, Jiang Ye was certain of that. Even though she hadn't seen any exposed skin on the young man, Jiang Ye had heard his voice. "I like you." These words were clear and gentle, like sunlight that touched people's hearts in the pouring rain. Qing Gui was definitely not old. If he wanted to hide his identity and had the ability to change appearance, there was no need for multiple disguises. Therefore... The girl picked up the warm coffee and lightly sipped from the pale pink lips. Her rosy little tongue licked over them, and Jiang Ye was certain... Under Qing Gui's disguise was his true appearance, a young man of the same age as her. "I'm so unwilling..." Jiang Ye muttered to herself. The coffee emitted a faint white heat, and Jiang Ye's ice-like eyes became somewhat absent-minded. "He's stronger than me." "A person of the same age." She wanted to fight that young man again, to try and feel that overwhelming intent to cut through heaven and earth... Jiang Ye felt that she would successfully establish her foundation because of it. But where could she find him? "He's a Walker registered in the Que Xie department. There should be someone in the Que Xie department of the neighboring city who knows who he is." The members of the Demon Slayer department were excitedly discussing, full of curiosity. A member of the department said, "Do we really need to pay attention to who Qing Gui is? After all, we're all on the same side." "That's right." "Let's not be too nosy!" "Anyway..." The team leader interjected, "I'll submit the mission report to the minister and upload it to the forum." This was customary, with the aim of sharing combat experience and promoting overall progress in the two departments. Jiang Ye, who had been silent in the corner all along, suddenly stood up. She picked up the umbrella and walked to the door. "Thank you all for taking care of me during this mission," Jiang Ye's voice was flat, her eyebrows and eyes devoid of emotion as always. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and lightly said, "I'll be going now." After she left, the members who had just been sitting upright in the Demon Slayer department all showed expressions of reluctance, bowing their heads dejectedly. "Miss Jiang is really beautiful, and her temperament is so charming. Yet, she just left like that..." "Do you think Miss Jiang is still thinking about Qing Gui when she's always lost in thought? Could it be love at first sight?" "That's unlikely, right?" "Oh my god, Miss Jiang posted on the forum, saying that if Qing Gui finds her, she will give him the spiritual blade 'Chi Jian' as a gift and wishes to meet him!" "???" "I'm so jealous." "My first love is over." "My youth is over." "Although I've only known Miss Jiang for a short day, I may never experience joy or sorrow in this lifetime." The team leader's face turned dark, "Playing with your phone while on duty, huh? Hand it over!" ... ... ... When Luo Qingchuan returned home, it was already 11:23 in the morning. He freshened up, dried his hair, and changed into autumn attire before leaving the house. It seemed like the rain was about to stop. Luo Qingchuan took a new red umbrella with him, purposely bought on his way back, which looked similar to the previous one. Taking out his phone, Luo Qingchuan thought for a moment and decided to touch the screen. After watching this movie with Chen Yan Yu, there probably wouldn't be much contact between us anymore. The world is full of bustling life, and I hope she can integrate well into it and have a good time... Luo Qingchuan thought. ... ... ... Luoxian Hotel. The breathtakingly beautiful girl with snow-white hair was lying in bed, sound asleep. Her small face breathed peacefully, and her cute lips were slightly moist. Although it was already noon... Chen Yan Yu had stayed up all night until six o'clock in the morning. "Ding Dong" "Ding Dong" "Ding Dong" Chen Yan Yu sleepily opened her eyes, "A phone call?" The girl lazily lifted her soft jade arm and held the phone in front of her face. "Eh eh eh!?" Chen Yan Yu's beautiful crescent-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes widened in surprise. She sat up straight in bed, flustered, and dropped the phone. She quickly picked up the phone from the blanket, [Luo Qingchuan: I'm done with my tasks, so I'll just come to find you directly.] [Luo Qingchuan: I've kept you waiting for a few days, so let me treat you to a meal.] "Eating? A date! I knew it was a date!" Chen Yan Yu's golden pupils sparkled, her fair complexion adorned with a few strands of silver hair. Without even tidying up, she smiled foolishly and immediately replied. [Chen Yan Yu: Okay!] [Luo Qingchuan: I'll be there in about ten minutes.] Chen Yan Yu's heart thumped, and she looked up at the ceiling, her eyes shallow like water, "Finally..." Chen Yan Yu clenched her small fist and was full of confidence. But seconds later, Chen Yan Yu's expression froze. "Ten minutes later?" "I haven't showered yet," "Waaaahhh, I haven't decided what to wear!" "Ahhhh, I haven't put on makeup!" Chen Yan Yu felt overwhelmed and was on the verge of tears. [Chen Yan Yu: Luo Qingchuan, Luo Qingchuan, can you wait for me a little longer?] [Luo Qingchuan: Okay, I made you wait for so long because of this movie, so it's only right for me to wait for you.] "Waaah, Luo Qingchuan, you always surprise me like this! I can't take it!" Chen Yan Yu said, nearly in tears. "No makeup then?" Thinking back to the free time she had these past two days, Chen Yan Yu had bought quite a few expensive cosmetics while going shopping. For some reason, even though she followed the tutorial of a beauty blogger step by step, Chen Yan Yu always ended up making her own face look ugly. So Chen Yan Yu hesitantly found a maid at the hotel's front desk for help. The maid was quite surprised and took Chen Yan Yu to labor for a while. Finally, after looking at Chen Yan Yu's naturally beautiful face, she said, "Miss, it seems like you don't need makeup." "But I read online that women should know how to beautify themselves in order to captivate men's hearts!" The silver-haired girl said earnestly. "For some men, if they don't like you, it may not be because you're not good-looking. Body shape is also very important." The maid smiled gracefully, her bosom almost about to pop out of her uniform. Chen Yan Yu was stunned, her face turned red, and she lowered her head. Suddenly, she felt a bit dizzy. "That shouldn't be the problem." The girl said in a small voice.
