Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush. Tell me where you are right now?"

While talking on her phone, Xing gestured to March 7th and Danheng with her eyes, signaling them to follow her. Then she turned and walked out of Jinren Alley.

March 7th and Danheng exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

"I don't know where I am... Let me describe my surroundings to you."

Lu Ze's voice came through the loudspeaker, panting heavily, with the whistling wind and his hurried footsteps on the stone pavement in the background.

"I should be on the street next to Jinren Lane. I came from the right. Oh... I saw a bookstore called 'Sanyu Bookstore'."

Next to Jinren Lane, go out to the right, and you'll find Sanyu Bookstore.

Xing laid out a map of Luofu's streets in his mind, and by matching a few landmarks together, he instantly locked onto the location.

Lu Ze is in Changletian.

It's not far from Jinren Lane, but the lane has many forks, and people who are not familiar with the area can easily get lost.

Fortunately, she had spent a lot of time wandering around Changletian during her exploration of Luofu, so she was quite familiar with the streets and alleys of that area.

"Wait here, I'll get someone to help you right away." Xing quickened her pace, almost jogging.

If she wanted to find someone in Changletian who could help her, there was only one name she could think of.

That's Qingque, who spends all his time at the Changle Tianpai Hall.

Sure enough, as soon as Xingyi stepped into the card room at the entrance of Changle Tianjie, he saw that familiar figure in the bustling crowd.

Qingque was standing next to a card table, arms crossed, staring intently at the game on the table.

Because there were no seats available at the table, she could only stand behind others and watch them play, a subtle expression of satisfaction mixed with dissatisfaction on her face.

Being able to see the cards is naturally enjoyable, but not being able to touch them yourself is painful.

"Qingque!" Xingchong waved vigorously at her.

When Qingque heard someone calling her, she immediately turned around.

Upon seeing that it was Xing, the complex expression on her face instantly transformed into a happy smile.

"Sister, what brings you to the Immortal Ship? You seem to be in a hurry; is there something you need to see me about?"

As she spoke, she squeezed through the crowd, and before leaving, she turned back for one last, reluctant look at the ongoing card game on the table.

"Qingque, don't worry about that now, we need help in this emergency."

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Xing's forehead, clearly indicating that the jog had taken a lot of energy.

"Do you know if there are any places to hide in Chang Le Tian? Or any secret passages or something?"

"You've come to the right person!"

Qingque's eyes lit up. She looked around and then whispered mysteriously as she approached Xing.

"I know a top-secret path that leads all the way to the gate of the Tabu's Office. Nobody ever goes that way. I always sneak out using this path, and I've never been caught in all these years."

"Where?" Xing's eyes lit up.

"I'm telling you, but you absolutely mustn't tell anyone."

Qingque lowered her voice even further and glanced around to make sure there were no familiar faces nearby.

"There's a pile of junk in the back alley of the card shop. Push open the innermost wooden crate, and behind it is a low wall. Climb over it, and you'll find an abandoned freight passage. Follow the passage, and the exit is under the crooked ginkgo tree next to the side gate of the Tabushi."

Xing had already quietly placed the phone near Qingque's mouth before she could speak, so that her voice could be clearly heard by Lu Ze on the other end.

Qingque only noticed the phone near her mouth after she finished speaking. She paused for a moment, and before she could ask what it was for, Fu Xuan's voice came from the phone.

The voice was as cold as ice just taken out of an ice cellar.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Qingque froze on the spot.

That lazy smile on his face was now filled with disbelief.

She was all too familiar with that voice.

"Sister! You actually tricked me?!"

Qingque's eyes widened, and she pointed a trembling finger at Xing's nose, her face full of bewilderment at being betrayed by the person she trusted most.
