Bengtie: My death fueled their madness.

The two geniuses' somewhat strange and abnormal behavior aroused a strong curiosity in Tingyun's eyes.

However, both reason and subconscious were warning her to quickly rein in her curiosity.

Curiosity killed the cat... and the fox.

"Miss Tingyun, how much do you know about Luofu's previous experiences and situation?"

Qi Zhimu considered for a moment before starting the conversation.

"I don't know much. To be honest, Mr. Zhi Mu, with Ms. Ruan Mei's help, I have only been back in Luofu for less than half a day."

Tingyun was unsure of Qi Zhimu's motives for asking these questions. Considering his acquaintance with the two geniuses, he didn't think too much before telling the truth and then asked the questions.

"...If you know the answer, could you please enlighten me?"

"Of course."

Qi Zhimu briefly summarized the commotion Huanlong caused on Luofu, and its subsequent impact.

Tingyun wasn't too surprised after hearing this, and while she sighed softly, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

In a sense, Huanlong was quite dutiful before his identity was exposed, faithfully fulfilling his duties as the ferryman of the Tianbo Division.

While feeling moved, I couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

Even when standing in front of General Jingyuan, Huanlong's disguise did not reveal any flaws, which was truly unsettling.

Who knows if Huanlong will repeat the same trick someday in the future?

The Luo Fu is not the only immortal ship that may be being targeted... If there is an opportunity, we must stop her!

"Thank you so much, Mr. Zhimu and the train crew, for your assistance to Luofu. I never imagined that Huanlong, disguised as a young woman, would have such a connection with the train crew, and that I would indirectly benefit from your life-saving grace..."

The thought of Huanlong, who perfectly portrayed himself, calling the train passengers his benefactor caused a strange look to cross Tingyun's face.

That was indeed her style, and it could be considered an experience that Huanlong had taken away from her, an experience that should have belonged to her.

Later, when she truly gets to know the train crew, calling them her benefactors seems perfectly appropriate. It remains to be seen whether Ms. Ruan Mei will be able to recover all of these "stolen" memories.

"There's no need to thank me. I have a connection with Luofu, and I've never sought anything in return."

Qi Zhimu shook his head slightly, then took out the paper letter of authorization.

"Miss Tingyun, please look at this."

Tingyun took it out of curiosity, saw the familiar handwriting, and froze on the spot before she even started reading.

Master Yu Kong...

The content was brief, requesting Qi Zhimu to investigate the whereabouts of Ting Yun, the ferryman of the Luofu Tianbo Company, regardless of whether he was alive or dead.

The thought of Qi Zhimu appearing here, accompanied by the genius #83, made a guess in Tingyun's mind.

Could it be... that they are also tracking the traces left by Huanlong when she impersonated her?

"To be honest, Miss Tingyun, I've had some people find some clues about you, and I know that Ms. Ruan Mei went to the area where your accident happened."

"Unfortunately, we were unable to contact her at that time and were planning to give up, but we never expected to meet you in Suiyuan."

"It seems that even if Ms. Yu Kong hadn't issued this commission, Ms. Ruan Mei could still have saved you."

Hearing Qi Zhimu say this, Tingyun gently shook her head, her tone filled with gratitude.

"Mr. Zhi Mu knew that my misfortune was related to the Great King Jue Mie, yet he still accepted the commission... I am deeply grateful for this kindness."

That was the Great Lord of Annihilation...

Its mere name is enough to strike fear into the hearts of countless civilizations throughout the universe.

Although Qi Zhimu didn't say it explicitly, Tingyun was already convinced that the former and the Black Tower were searching for Huanlong's whereabouts and wanted to find her through this clue.

When it comes to geniuses, personal relationships are incredibly important.

No matter how you look at it, the compensation in the power of attorney is not even a fraction of what it would take to get a genius to do it.

Yu Kong was absolutely not qualified to ask the Black Tower for help, nor did he have the ability, so it could only be Qi Zhimu.

Judging by actions rather than intentions, Mr. Zhi Mu certainly put in a lot of effort to find her.

Even though she survived and returned home with Ruan Mei's help, Mr. Zhi Mu and Ms. Hei Ta were still kind to her.

Not far away, Ruan Mei's ears twitched slightly.

Though physically near the Black Tower, his heart was with Qi Zhimu.

Qi Zhimu and Tingyun's conversation wasn't lowered much in volume; ordinary people couldn't hear it, but she could.

Unexpectedly, Amu accepted the request to find Tingyun and even found her whereabouts, but was unable to contact her.

This……

She deliberately left pheromones at the site of the Tingyun caravan's wreckage in order to attract the Great Lord of Annihilation.

Others feared the Great Lord of Annihilation, but she did not; unfortunately, the Great Lord of Annihilation never came to her door.

However, the problem now is not the Great Lord of Annihilation, but that Qi Zhimu has captured those pheromones...

If you remain within the area covered by the company's interplanetary network, Amu will definitely take the initiative to contact you.

By then, having saved Tingyun, she had successfully helped Amu, thereby improving her image in Amu's eyes...

Instead of just stumbling upon it now and missing the opportunity.

Amu did not find Tingyun through his own initiative; given his behavior in this life, it is impossible for him to claim credit for it.

A golden opportunity that was practically handed to them for free slipped through their fingers so easily...

For the first time, Nguyen Mai deeply regretted her decision to enter A Nguyen's bag and live in seclusion to avoid being disturbed.

She took a half step forward, and the bronze mirror emitted a soft, youthful voice that made her body stiffen; every word made her pupils tremble.

"I...I can't take it anymore when a teacher treats students like this..."

"Let me massage your feet, shoulders, back... waist, thighs, even your chest, it's just too much!"

"From the day my teacher saved me, I fell uncontrollably in love with you!"

"Since you're so open with me, can I assume you don't dislike me, and perhaps even... like me?"

"The student doesn't want to endure this torment any longer, teacher... teacher... I love you, I love you so much!"

"I want you, I want you... please don't reject me... okay?"

"Come, teacher... come to your students, we will be together forever, never to be separated..."

Ruan Mei was completely stunned, her eyes flickering.

Unfortunately, the flickering tendency is to dim rather than brighten.

Seeing Ruan Mei lower her gaze to the ground, Hei Ta made no attempt to hide the gloating in his eyes.

Wow, what a Final Fantasy!

It must be admitted that Qi Zhimu's voice in the bronze mirror was gentle and tender, full of love.

If the person confessing their feelings to were her, she probably wouldn't be able to resist listening to a few more words first before throwing the object.

As for sinking into ruin?

Are you kidding me!

Why would you choose a fake Qi Zhimu over a real, living person?

However, for Ruan Mei, these words were like a thousand needles piercing her chest, leaving her heart riddled with holes.

To kick someone when they're down!

Hei Ta curled his lips into a smile, pretending not to recognize Qi Zhimu's voice.

"Wow~ I didn't know you had such a past. You're being too polite, Ruan Mei."

"You have a student who loves you so much, yet you didn't introduce her to me."

"Look how much I admire you, I'm very happy to introduce you to others: that other person is you, my friend."

"By the way, are you a student? Can you bring him to the next gathering?"
