Thinking this, he continued his morning run towards the city, while conducting counter-surveillance along the way. He even secretly used his magic to scan his surroundings to make sure no one was following him before making a few turns and using the barrier leaves to enter the Qingyun Sect.

He went straight to Bing Tang to discuss how to resolve the suspicion surrounding him. His previous actions overlapped too much with Zi Yuan's; if the Disaster Management Bureau investigated thoroughly, they could easily uncover the truth.

We must ensure that they cannot guess that I am Shion.

After Jiang Si arrived at the sect and told Bing Tang about his thoughts,

Having just received Susan's message, Bing Tang immediately and matter-of-factly said, "Then let Jiang Si and Zi Yuan appear at the same time, right?"

Jiang Si was filled with respect; this was indeed the simplest and most efficient method.

"The Disaster Management Bureau already knows you have the ability to shield yourself from the Heavenly Eye. So this time, let them see you meet with Ziyuan and act as if you're familiar with her. This way, you can explain why you can shield yourself from the Heavenly Eye, and at the same time, prevent them from guessing that you are Ziyuan. Hehe, as for why you're familiar, our Lady Ziyuan wants to personally learn about and recruit Sister Coco through Brother Jiang Si. Isn't that a sufficient reason?"

"I told you I didn't want her."

"Coco has shown amazing potential, hasn't she? Who says Lady Shion can't change her mind, right?"

Jiang Si was silent for a moment, then asked, "Won't the Disaster Management Bureau turn against us?"

“You have Coco’s connection, so they have to consider the impact. Besides, although the Disaster Management Bureau talks a big game, they’ve actually been avoiding Ziyuan.” Bing Tang laughed. “They won’t really offend us. The Disaster Management Bureau still needs our help to deal with the disaster beasts. They won’t turn against us unless it’s absolutely necessary. You’re only acquainted with Ziyuan, and you’re not familiar with the Qingyun Sect. Of course, there’s no need to rush. Let’s wait and see what the Disaster Management Bureau does next before we make any plans.”

"Okay, and also, rock candy, someone take care of it, Yinluo from the Disaster Management Bureau..."

……

Finally back in her room, Oleander took a deep breath, turned off the light, and took out the crystal ball.

The bright crystal ball suddenly felt much more spacious than before, when there were only three people in the picture.

"Cough cough cough, cough cough cough!"

The captain of the Central Group was coughing violently. Oleander and another female member remained silent until he finished coughing.

"What's wrong?" the girl, who had never given her code name before, asked with a puzzled tone. "Have you been feeling weak lately?"

"Cough, cough, I've run into Dong-kun."

"It's Lord Dong-kun again." The girl said with a grin. "That's not surprising. It's good enough that he came back alive. Oh, I really want to see the captain get beaten to a pulp by Lord Dong-kun."

"Twins, watch your words."

Oleander had to speak up, "Don't use honorifics when addressing the enemy, and show more respect to the captain as well."

"You're a newcomer, yet you dare to lecture me? Mind your own business." The girl scoffed, then turned to the captain and asked, "Where are you injured? That's strange. Although Lord Fuyu is not as cruel as Shion, she has never liked to leave anyone alive."

"I wasn't hurt, I just got chilled by her cold air conditioning."

The captain coughed twice more to clear his hoarse throat. "Heh, I'm not injured, but I caught a cold. I've already bought some cold medicine, so don't worry."

The two girls were speechless for a moment.

"Does Dongjun have the ability to spread viruses?" Oleander asked casually. "Has she developed a new ability? Her abilities have always been very varied. Although the information is public, no one knows what other abilities she has."

"That's unlikely. Lord Winter's only ability is low temperature. All his abilities were developed using this. It's just that the captain is too weak. This is the first time I've ever seen someone catch a cold from Lord Winter's ability."

"After all, most of the Witches who encountered her before are dead." The captain seemed to be defending himself. "Besides, this time I didn't just encounter Fuyu-kun, but also Shion, and Dandelion was there too."

The twins immediately showed their respect, "You actually managed to come back alive, I'm completely convinced that you're the captain."

"Just a bunch of little girls."

The captain naturally wouldn't admit that he hadn't actually gone there; he had only symbolically struck a few bolts of lightning before Dongjun blew a blast of cold air on him, causing him to catch a cold.

Ultimately, these members of the Witch Guild who hadn't transformed into monsters didn't have much ability to fight magical girls head-on.

When the captain discovered that Du Juan was surrounded by people from the Qingyun Sect, he only dared to take a look from afar and offer any assistance.

Of course, this is only temporary; once the plan succeeds, the situation will be different...

"I remember she was going to find Jiang Si, right?" Every time the conversation veered off course, Oleander would speak up at the right moment to steer it back on track. "How did she get discovered by the Qingyun Sect? Did the fog fail?"

The mist is a method used by the Witches' Guild to counter precognitive abilities.

This is also the main reason why he has been able to evade the pursuit of the Qingyun Sect and the Disaster Prevention Bureau for so many years.

Upon hearing this, the captain immediately shook his head. "Impossible. The fog has been in effect the whole time. I've already asked the spirit of the Ouija board, and it couldn't see how the people from the Qingyun Sect discovered the cuckoo at all."

This is the drawback of countering precognitive abilities. It's not just the Witch's Fog; the Qingyun Sect's Barrier Leaf and the Disaster Prevention Bureau's Bracelet can also render their respective organizations' precognitive abilities ineffective.

We can only contact each other through other means.

This is why Dujuan was surrounded and killed by the Qingyun Sect without even knowing why.

"Could it be that the Qingyun Sect has found a way to break through the fog?"

The captain immediately dismissed the twins' suspicions, saying, "If that were true, Oleander would be the first to be exposed."

“It’s probably just a coincidence.” Oleander played with the crystal ball. “People from the Qingyun Sect sometimes like to stroll around the city. There are so many of them, it’s not surprising that we bumped into each other by accident.”

“She’s really unlucky.” The twins laughed melodiously. “Women who don’t smile are prone to bad luck. Oleander, you’re one of them too. Be careful.”

"You don't need to worry about that."

"Oh dear, what a cold tone. Are you unhappy with me?"

"I just don't like people who aren't serious, I'm not targeting you specifically."

"But I'm the only one here who's not taking it seriously, isn't that targeting me?"

The captain coughed violently again, interrupting the two girls' conversation, "Ahem, now is not the time to argue. Cuckoo and Jackal are both dead. We need to be more united..."

"Old Deng, your ideas are outdated. You used to say that we could profit from the conflict between the Disaster Management Bureau and the Qingyun Sect. But look at where the conflict is going on!"

The twins scoffed, "They said they had people in the Disaster Management Bureau who could help relieve our pressure, but all they've done is shout. Has the Disaster Management Bureau ever launched a formal attack on the Qingyun Sect? They've strongly condemned it, but haven't done a thing. Where has the pressure decreased? I wonder, the magical girls in the Disaster Management Bureau haven't stopped investigating us either."

“The Disaster Management Bureau is a complex organization after all,” Oleander chimed in, adding, “It’s not as easy to operate as the Witch’s Guild, which has a simpler structure. Moreover, the North Sea Disaster Management Bureau is short-handed and mostly relies on the Qingyun Sect to clear out the large number of disaster beasts. It’s unlikely that they can do anything to the Qingyun Sect in the short term.”

"I'm sick of hearing it. They're just a bunch of good-for-nothings. Either clean up the Witch Society or destroy the Qingyun Sect. At least get one thing done. Has the Disaster Management Bureau ever accomplished anything since it was established in BH City?"

"Show some respect." Oleander looked coldly at the twins. "If the Disaster Management Bureau really wanted to take action, an ant like you would be crushed in less than a day. The Qingyun Sect has been able to exist until now because they have a sense of propriety and know what they should and shouldn't do. Otherwise, headquarters would have plenty of Blooming Magical Girls."

"Oh, you're quite good at scaring people, just like you." The twins weren't angry, they just said with a grin, "A traitor getting all high and mighty, what, do you even feel a sense of belonging to the Disaster Management Bureau?"

"Compared to me, that little girl who still addresses Dong Jun as 'Master' probably has a stronger sense of belonging to the Qingyun Sect, right?"

The twins' expressions suddenly turned cold. "I should have agreed to Du Juan's request to kill you first."

"You can try it now..."

"enough!"

The captain, who had been holding back for so long, finally slammed his fist on the table, his voice filled with anger, "Just because I don't say anything, you all think I'm dead? Cough cough cough, what kind of time is this to be fighting amongst ourselves!"

After coughing, the captain said indignantly, "The Qingyun Sect and the Disaster Prevention Bureau haven't even started fighting, but you people who betrayed the Qingyun Sect and the Disaster Prevention Bureau are going to fight each other because of their relationship. It's going to be a laughing stock!"

The twins, who had been filled with murderous intent, immediately put on a playful smile again. "I was just teasing her, Captain."

"I was just teasing you, kid."

"Shut up and listen to me." This time, the captain finally stopped letting them talk. "Don't force me to turn you into monsters."

Shrugging, the twins fell silent, and Oleander also stopped talking.

"Originally, I hoped you could send out all the seeds, but given the situation, I know things aren't that simple."

As the captain spoke, he took out a metal test tube. "I will send you the potion. I will allow you to use one miracle seed, oleander, first. If it doesn't work, you can forcibly leave the Disaster Management Bureau and send the seed out."

Oleander lowered her eyelids slightly and nodded. "I understand. Thank you for your trust, Captain."

"I look forward to your results, Oleander, don't let me down."

Once the communication with Oleander was cut off, the twins lazily said, "Is this really a good idea, Captain? Her purpose in joining us was to get that potion, right? We have the seed and the potion. Whether she's still willing to come to us and whether she wants to give out the Miracle Seed depends entirely on her loyalty."

"This is a test for her, but also an opportunity."

The captain said leisurely, "Hopefully she won't be too clever for her own good, otherwise it would be such a pity."

The twins immediately raised their hands: "Captain, I also want to be tested by the organization, I'll take one."

"roll."

"Tch." The twins clicked their tongues. "Then I'll wait and see you make a fool of yourself."

The captain waved his hand, "No matter what, in this operation, the enemy is in the open while we are in the dark, and they are caught off guard. The advantage is in our hands!"

Chapter 32: Date A Live (6000 words)

"Coco, I've come to play with you!"

After knocking on the door, Li Yi tried to push it open. The door wasn't locked, and she managed to push it open.

Then I saw Coco curled up asleep on the sofa.

Coco's living room is quite large. In front of the sofa is a long glass coffee table. The glass coffee table is very clean, with nothing on it except for a circle of cups.

The house was very clean. Although Li Yi had already noticed that Coco's house was very clean when she came last time, much cleaner than ordinary families, she wondered which of the siblings was a clean freak and made it so clean.

She carefully entered the house, closed the door, took off her shoes, and found a pair of slippers in the shoe cabinet. Although the brother and sister didn't say anything when she came in last time, the floor was indeed quite dirty because of her. Li Yi had been remembering that.

After changing my shoes, I tiptoed over.

Then I noticed that a section of the floorboard in the corner was smashed and broken, and I wondered what the two siblings had done.

Instead of waking Coco, I squatted down beside her and took a look.

Coco changed into a new outfit: a white pleated skirt and bubble socks, with a red headband.

Curled up on the sofa, with her hands in front of her face, her smooth black hair spread out, Li Yi admired Coco's face for a moment; it was quite adorable.

Coco's appearance isn't the kind of beauty that's somewhat aggressive; rather, she's like the girl next door, making it easy for people to feel close to her and like her.

For Li Yi, the only downside to Coco is that she is too tall.

He's a middle school student, but he's taller than me, a high school student.

Moreover, Coco's legs are very beautiful. Li Yi, because of her short stature, actually has slightly short legs. She poked Coco's curled-up calves and felt a little envious.

Sigh, she jumps high and drinks milk every day, but she just doesn't grow any taller. In her family, her sister and parents are all tall, but she's the only one who's short...

The girl was slightly annoyed. Coco, whose leg had been poked on the sofa, stirred and then groggily opened her eyes. She stared blankly at Li Yi for a while before rubbing her eyes and saying, "Oh, Captain, you're here?"

Watching Coco slowly sit up, her bubble socks landing on the floor—which was actually quite clean—Li Yi sat down next to her and said, "Otherwise, why would you sleep on the sofa in the living room?"

"Well, you said you were coming over to find Hyacinth-senpai together, so I got up early and waited for you on the sofa. I fell asleep while waiting."

"Senior Hyacinth has an exam today, let's go see her later," Li Yi said. "I thought you got scolded by your brother and weren't allowed to go back to your bedroom to sleep."
