There was nothing left to linger in Tianye City, so I had to continue south.
Even though he was now a rich man, he didn't want to make any rash moves with his wealth. Ancient man, the heavens had given a great responsibility to the rich, it was necessary for him to first suffer, work hard, starve … I don't want to enjoy myself with this money. Only by tempering my body and mind will I be able to make progress.
Thus, on the journey south, I decided to take the path of an ascetic monk. This way, I would be able to increase my knowledge, be more able to sightsee, travel ten thousand miles as if I were reading ten thousand books.
With this, I wobbled out of South Sky City, planning to find a place to stay.
However, what I didn't expect was that just as I left South Sky City, I received a call. It was from an old acquaintance, and we had just said our goodbyes yesterday.
The caller was Li Shujie, who was with me at the Xue family medicine store, recuperating from his injuries.
When I received his call, I felt it was a bit strange. I immediately asked, "Brother Li, why did you call me?"
Li You Jie seemed to be a little anxious and ignored all the greetings. He directly asked me, "Brother Tian Luo, where are you now?"
"I just left the Heavenly Justice District. What's wrong? Do you still want to treat me to a drink?" I joked.
"We have plenty of opportunities to drink alcohol in the future, but I have something that I want to ask for your help with. I wonder if Brother Tian Luo is willing to agree?" Li Shujie's voice was very urgent, as if there really was something important to discuss.
After hearing what he said, I immediately restrained my smile. "Brother Li, we have a close relationship. If there's anything you need my help with, feel free to speak. If I can do it, I'll do my best to help."
It looks like I made this call in time, and the matter is like this, you should know the situation last time, in order to deal with Zheng Lingye and the others, we in the Profound Sky City's special investigation team suffered heavy losses, several experts have been killed in this mission, and they are clearly lacking in manpower, but there are very few cultivators in the entire Profound Sky City, and recently there is a problem, so I wanted to ask for your help, but don't worry, it's not a temporary help, I just don't know if Brother Tian Luo is interested?
"What is going on? Can you tell me in advance? " I asked curiously.
"This matter is still unclear over the phone. Where are you right now? Give me a specific location. I'll send someone to pick you up later. We'll talk when we get there, what do you think?" Li Shujie said again.
"Alright, I've just left the Heavenly City." Then I looked up and saw a gas station nearby. There was a kiosk next to the gas station, so I gave him the address and waited for him at the door of the kiosk.
After that, Li Shujie hung up the phone and told me to wait for a while. Someone would pick me up immediately.
After I hung up the phone, I walked towards the store's entrance. Since I was thirsty, I bought a bottle of water and got a Maza. I squatted in front of the store and waited for the person Li Shujie had sent to come pick me up.
In my boredom, as I drank my water, I wondered what exactly Li Shujie wanted me to do. However, I felt that for departments like the special task force, there should be some rather thorny cases, cases that ordinary police officers could not solve, and cases that carried a different spirit should be handled by this special task force.
This special task team was basically the most dangerous profession because they were dealing with all sorts of monsters and ghosts, or cultivators with high levels of cultivation. The death rate should be the highest, however, the majority of the people in this world would not know of the existence of this hidden department.
My eldest senior brother has been heading north, and I don't know how the situation is right now, but I really miss him a bit. My youngest junior sister is studying at a university in the Southern Province, so I've been traveling south for a while, thinking that I must pass by her school. When the time comes, I'll go to school to find her.
When he thought of his junior apprentice sister's sweet smile, his heart was filled with warmth.
Thinking about these things, time passes by very quickly. In the blink of an eye, half an hour has passed. I also drank up two bottles of mineral water.
Not long later, a rather broken Santana stopped in front of the entrance to the shop, and a man in a Chinese tunic stepped down from the car. This man looked familiar, and for a moment, he couldn't remember who he belonged to, but it seemed that he was one of Li Rujie's men, and last time in the Celestial Wai Centre's underground car park, he had seven swords under his command. Zheng Lingye had killed a few of them, and also injured a few of them, so this man should have been one of them.
He quickly walked over and extended his hand out from a distance away, enthusiastically saying, "Brother Tian Luo, hello, I was sent by Li You Jie, Li You Jie, to pick you up. We met last time at the Heavenly Huai Center."
I immediately stood up and shook his hand in a friendly manner. "My apologies. The last time we met, I was in a hurry. After I was severely injured, I was arranged to stay in the hospital and didn't have the time to get to know him. May I know your name?"
"Zhang Chen!" My name is Zhang Chen, Brother Tian Luo can just call me Old Zhang. Let's not talk about other things, just get in the car with me first. We'll have a chat in the car. This person called Zhang Chen looks to be around 27 or 28 years old, five or six years older than me. When he looks gentle and gentle, when he doesn't fight with others, he looks like an ordinary person.
Seeing that Zhang Chen was quite anxious, I immediately followed Zhang Zhen to the old Santana.
After getting on the car, Zhang Chen said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Brother Tian Luo. Our Tian Huai City Special Task Force's funding is a little tight, so we can only use this car to pick you up. Don't blame us."
"Look at what you're saying, it's good enough that you have a car. Even if you came in a tricycle to pick me up, I still wouldn't mind. I just walked in from Heavenly City."
Saying that, I couldn't wait to ask, "Oh right, Big Brother Zhang Chen, when Group Leader Li called me just now, he seemed very anxious. What happened?"
