Gao Yang went over the list and noticed the name Liao Liao. He didn’t remember someone like that at all, yet the person had replaced Green Tea to lead the fifth team. Was it a he or a she? Which team did they belong to? What was their job? What Talents did they have?
Soon, Gao Yang reached the last message, which contained the basic information on all Union members. Gao Yang found Liao Liao in the list.
Liao Liao, female, 19 years old, no special experience or achievement.
Talent: Aptitude, Heart, God of Archery, Insects King.
Gao Yang was a little surprised. She had four Talents. It seemed that Aptitude did increase the chance of comprehending Talents.
The Hundred Rivers Union wasn’t the Nine Scions’ enemy at the moment, but a clash could happen in the future, and they had to be careful.
After reading through the messages, Gao Yang threw the phone back to Nine Frost. “Give every member a copy of this and tell them to memorize everything. We’ll update the list as we learn new information.” Nêww chapters will be fully updated at (n)ov(e)l/bin(.)com
“Got it.” Nine Frost immediately texted the members.
...
Gao Yang and Nine Frost rested without falling asleep until five to three in the morning. Then they opened the living room window and placed three finished lunchboxes on the windowsill, as well as a bottle of water.
Three o’clock in the morning, a dark figure descended from above on time, hovering outside the window.
He was dressed in a black oversized sweater with a hand in his pants pocket and his other hand holding a small black briefcase, wearing a black mask and a pair of black headphones.
“Thirty-six,” he spoke in a youthful, lazy voice.
Three days later, Nine Frost’s Telepathy reached level 3, allowing two-way communication within two hundred meters. It was limited to one-on-one conversation for 3 minutes, with a cooldown of 10 minutes.
Gao Yang believed the time was right, and he asked Nine Frost to discreetly contact the Twelve Zodiac Signs.
It would be too dangerous to get close to the Millennium Tower, and the members of the Zodiacs would be on the underground sixth floor, making it difficult to reach them. Moreover, Telepathy required the user to first see the target to locate the target’s brain and send the psychic energy, or the Talent was likely to fail.
After careful consideration, Gao Yang decided to contact Heavenly Dog.
The reasons were threefold:
First, Heavenly Dog was somewhat of a companion of Gao Yang’s.
Second, Heavenly Dog was dependable.
Third, Heavenly Dog stuck to a certain routine. When he didn’t have class, he often visited Songstress’ flower shop and holed up in the attic, having a relaxing time listening to music.
Gao Yang had gone to the upper floor of the flower shop before. The window looked out to the express hotel across the street.
That meant Nine Frost could see Heavenly Dog through the window from the hotel rooftop—Heavenly Dog’s usual seating spot was near the window, and the distance between them would be just under two hundred meters.
Luckily, Heavenly Dog happened to visit Songstress’ shop that night, and Nine Frost reached him with Telepathy.
Heavenly Dog remained composed. Learning Nine Frost’s reason for contacting him, he responded that he couldn’t make the decision without consulting War Tiger.
To avoid suspicion, Heavenly Dog stayed at the flower shop for a while rather than taking his leave immediately. Then he went to the underground base of the Millenium Tower to report to War Tiger.
On Gao Yang’s behalf, Nine Frost expressed his intention to form a secret partnership with the Twelve Zodiac Signs. The only ones who knew about it were Gao Yang, Nine Frost, Heavenly Dog, and War Tiger.
Gao Yang wanted to borrow the Psyche Rune Circuit so that Nine Frost’s Telepathy could reach level 4. The trade would be conducted on Mizuya Street in Zone D of Island Nation.
War Tiger agreed.
The next afternoon, Heavenly Dog visited Songstress’ flower shop again. In the span of a song, he and Nine Frost agreed on the details of the trade, which led to where they were now.
Gao Yang handed the Psyche Rune Circuit to Nine Frost. He then turned to Heavenly Dog with an intentional smile. “Does Uncle Tiger trust me this much? He even lends me the Psyche Rune Circuit.”
“Uncle Tiger said that you and Qilin are now each other’s worst enemies, and you will never give the Rune Circuit to Qilin.”
“Aren’t you worried that Qilin and I had put on the act to fool you into giving me the Psyche Rune Circuit?”
Heavenly Dog paused. “Oh, well.”
