"Fate is truly amazing."

Chu Yang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Another thing is that if I hadn't supervised her, Fors would have been a lazy person at home for a month."

Miss Xiu knew too well what kind of person her best friend was. She would never do anything serious unless someone urged her to do it.

Just as Chu Yang was about to respond with a smile, Manhattan beside him knocked lightly on the table, attracting the attention of the two.

"When I say stay outside, I mean you two go together."

Manhattan's eyes were on Chu Yang.

"Should I leave too?"

“But they didn’t investigate at all?”

"Besides, I didn't leave any traces in this matter."

Chu Yang couldn't help but frown.

If they couldn't investigate Miss Xiu thoroughly, it would be impossible to find any trace of him.

"Chu Yang, you are being too picky. Everyone knows that you created the famous money-saving meal in a certain coffee shop."

"Who doesn't know that you and Miss Hugh often meet in that cafe?"

Manhattan became more and more helpless as he spoke.

Chu Yang on the other side suddenly fell silent, feeling helpless.

"Teacher, if the two of us leave like this, then the other party will find you next."

His interpersonal relationships during this period were very simple. Apart from Miss Xiu, the only other person was Ms. Tracy from the Public Security Bureau. Presumably, the other party didn't have the courage to knock on his door.

Then all that's left is Manhattan.

"One of you is Sequence Nine, and the other is Sequence Eight. Anyway, you are both quite inconspicuous in the world of Beyonders."

"But I'm different. My apparent strength has already reached Sequence 7 a few years ago, and now I already have the combat power of Sequence 6."

"If they want to do something to me, they might have to think twice."

"The most important thing is that they have a mission to perform now. I don't think they will focus most of their energy on avenging a dead subordinate."

Manhattan spread his hands, his expression very calm.

This matter was too easy for him.

If he didn't want to cause a big fight, he could have gone to his good friends in the official community.

Then it will be easier to deal with this matter.

"Okay, don't think too much. I just happen to have a commission here and need someone to go out of town to help me handle it. If you two go together, it should be easy to solve it."

"Of course I will pay you most of the remuneration."

Manhattan said with a smile.

"Teacher, please don't be polite to us. You have taken on most of the risks by staying here. It is normal for us to handle things for you. There is no need for any commission fees."

Chu Yang couldn't help but speak speechlessly.

Miss Xiu beside her had the same idea.

"Teacher, what is going on with this commission?"

Chu Yang asked again without waiting for Manhattan's answer.

"This is a commission from a small port city. An old friend of mine needs help. This matter also involves extraordinary events."

"If you set off immediately, it should only take about a month including the time wasted on the journey."

"You must choose different routes when you go there and when you come back, even if it means taking a detour."

Manhattan emphasized.

"Why do we have to do this? If the people of the Simulacrum are investigating, there's no point in taking a detour, right?"

Chu Yang couldn't help but ask with some confusion.

"You think things are too simple. The Witch Cult may very likely be waiting for your return at a port in Backlund."

"Choosing a different route on your way back will help you avoid possible ambushes."

"And if I remember correctly, you should have another friend in Port Gorant."

When he finished speaking, Manhattan couldn't help but blink.

Chu Yang, who was standing aside, felt something move in his heart.

He had never mentioned this matter to Manhattan, but why did his teacher know so much about it?

"Judging from your reaction, this should be true."

“That’s why reasoning skills are so important.”

Manhattan couldn't help laughing, and continued: "Chu Yang, I have told you many times that you must habitually hide your facial expressions."

“Even if you can’t remain calm when a mountain collapses in front of you, at least you can remain calm.”

"Or you can selectively use a normal expression to cover up the different emotions in your heart."

Manhattan's instruction made Chu Yang immediately return his expression to expressionless.

An expression similar to indifference can best conceal one's inner psychological fluctuations.

"By the way, besides that, I still suggest that Miss Xiu also go and visit her family."

Manhattan said this meaningfully, but Miss Xiu at the side jumped up as if she had a spring.

"You...Mr. Manhattan, how did you know that?"

Miss Xiu's voice became halting and her eyes were full of doubt and uncertainty.

Manhattan waved his hand slightly with a faint smile on his face, "Don't think too much. You know I have been in the detective business for many years, so I know a little bit. The rest of the news is normal."

"From what I know, someone in the military has been keeping an eye on you, and has even started investigating your family."

"If you weren't so weak, they would have already attacked you. This is the real reason why I want you to go out and stay out of the spotlight."

Miss Xiu was originally a descendant of a noble family. Because her father was framed, the entire family left the party.

She even changed her name to avoid her enemies.

Now Miss Xiu's mother and brother are still alive, but they are hiding in another city.

Chu Yang was naturally very clear about all of this, but he would never mention it.

"Can this kind of thing be solved by just avoiding it?"

Miss Xiu's face turned very ugly.

She would rather die in Backlund than bring danger to her family hiding in other cities.

"As I said before, your strength is too weak, so the military won't focus too much energy on you."

"If they hadn't suddenly received an order to investigate you these few days, they wouldn't have even given you a second glance."

"This order should come from the Witch Cult. It seems that they have extended their tentacles to the top ranks of the military."

"No matter what, there must be a secret deal between the two parties."

"But dealing with the Witch Cult is what most of the top leaders want, so this matter will definitely be carried out to the end."

"Once the people from the Witch Cult are dealt with, those guys who wanted to attack you will of course be taken care of as well, so there's no need to worry too much."

Manhattan told the truth of the matter in a lighthearted manner.

Miss Xiu, who was standing by, breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, she naturally believed in Manhattan.

"Mr. Manhattan, the military has targeted me, but has been slow to act. I'm afraid it's not just because of my low strength."

"Could it be that there are people in the military who are friends of my father?"

Miss Xiu asked impatiently.

She wanted revenge, but the road was too long and too difficult.

If she could find help from the military, things would be a lot easier.

"I'm not sure about that, but I think he will contact you after this matter is over. What the outcome will be depends on the results of the discussion between the two of you."

Manhattan remained tight-lipped and did not reveal any clues at all.

Miss Xiu did not ask any more questions and sat on the sofa beside her with a displeased look.

Chu Yang was not worried about this matter at all. According to his understanding of the plot, the person in the military who might even know Miss Xiu's father did have a kind heart towards Miss Xiu.

The senior military official was eventually forced to turn to the dark side.

But no matter what, his kindness towards Miss Xiu never changed.

Even in the plot, when Miss Xiu was in desperate situation, the senior military official came to her aid.

After the matter came to an end, Chu Yang made an appointment with Miss Xiu to meet at a place tomorrow, and immediately went back to start preparing the things he wanted to take away.

Chu Yang had just finished packing his luggage when he was taken to another room by Manhattan.

"I'll lend you this ring first. It will be more powerful at sea."

Manhattan took out a ring personally and put it on Chu Yang's finger.

His attitude was very serious.

This ring is a special and extraordinary item that possesses some wind-attribute abilities.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is definitely one of Manhattan's most precious treasures.

Chu Yang stretched out his hand and looked at his ring, without being polite.

Since this ring can utilize the power of points, it is definitely a very precious thing.

"Teacher, what is the name of this ring?"

Chu Yang couldn't help but ask.

“There’s no clear division of its rank, but I usually call it the Wind Ring.”

As Manhattan spoke, he pulled out a small black box from another compartment.

"Take this with you as well. Consider it your reward for the mission I'm giving you this time."

When Chu Yang saw the box, he was shocked.

He opened the black box without hesitation and saw an extremely dazzling jade veil inside.

This green veil was one of the materials he needed to become Sequence Seven.

Originally, he was racking his brains to think about how to get this precious material.

But he didn't expect that his teacher would give him a big gift today.

After all, the potion formula needed for the sequence period has been parsed.

All of this was obtained by analyzing the important ring of his teacher through the Pure White Eyes.

"I really made the right choice of teacher. Now that I have reached the Sequence Stage, it is only a matter of time."

Chu Yang was a little excited.

"Kid, this is all I can help you with. You need to slowly search for other materials and auxiliary materials to become a sequencer."

"During this process, you can also slowly digest the magic potion in your body."

Manhattan seemed to have determined from the beginning that Chu Yang had learned the formula required for Sequence Seven.

Chu Yang was not polite about this. After thanking him, he immediately asked, "Teacher, the next potion formula seems to contain a very precious main ingredient, the branches and leaves of the elf tree."

"I have looked around a lot but haven't found any information. Do you have any clues?"

Hearing that Chu Yang also did not shy away from asking for help without hesitation, Manhattan smiled with relief.

This proves that Chu Yang, the student, has really begun to trust him as a teacher.

"Leave this to me."

Manhattan then took out another box and handed it to Chu Yang, claiming that it was the reward for Miss Xiu.

After Chu Yang opened it, he found that there was also an extraordinary item inside.

"Does this thing have any effect?" Chu Yang began to ask again.

"This thing can help Miss Xiu increase her body coordination and enhance her ability to progress."

"And to a certain extent, this thing can predict the enemy's next move and form a subconscious reminder in the brain."

"With this extraordinary item, it should be able to enhance your two people's ability to protect themselves to some extent."

Manhattan couldn't help but explain.

Chu Yang was already filled with surprise when he heard this, but of course he was more moved in his heart.

Manhattan was willing to give such a precious and extraordinary item to Miss Hugh as a reward, certainly not because the task was overly important.

This was more because he hoped Chu Yang's safety could be guaranteed.

Strengthening Miss Xiu's self-protection ability is also helping Chu Yang improve his safety.

"But is it really okay for me to just give this ring to Miss Xiu?"

"If we knew, we would have to be prepared. Her best friend has been talking about it for a long time."

Chu Yang suddenly felt something was wrong.

Soon it was early the next morning.

The two men arrived at a subway platform in advance, and quickly arrived at the port fully armed.

The two of them staggered on the road for several hours before arriving at their destination port in the afternoon.

The Port of Atoksun is also the largest port in the Kingdom of Ruven, and its annual cargo throughput is very large.

There are a huge number of merchants coming here to trade.

At this moment, Chu Yang was dressed like a gentleman and even held a cane in his hand.

Miss Xiu standing next to her deliberately used the heels with added materials to make herself look a little taller.

Arriving at the ticket window, Chu Yang immediately prepared to purchase a mid-level cabin ticket.

Unfortunately, he arrived at an inopportune time, as the boat tickets suitable for his current appearance and identity had already been sold out.

"I didn't expect today's ferry tickets to sell out so quickly."

Chu Yang couldn't help but frown.

"Sir, this is because there are a lot of passengers departing from this port during this period."

"Because a small-scale war suddenly broke out outside, no one wants to be trapped and die on the sea."

The ticket agent seemed to see that Chu Yang was worth a lot of money, so he explained it specially.

Finally, Chu Yang had no choice but to take out more money and prepare to buy the two best tickets. (End of this chapter)
