Xu Hongdou looked at Zhao Xuan with a charming smile and said with a smile, "Of course it's great news. As long as you complete this mission, I can give you something nice."
"Sister Hongdou, why don't you tell me what happened first?" Zhao Xuan didn't rush to answer, but instead asked what had happened.
After all, he didn't want to go and die if it was too dangerous.
"It's nothing major, I just need you to go to a school and deal with a strange creature," Xu Hongdou said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuan became even more puzzled. What kind of strange situation required him to go specifically? With Xu Hongdou's strength, wouldn't she have been able to handle it easily?
"What's so strange? Even you, Sister Hongdou, a near-heavenly king, can't handle it. If even you, Sister Hongdou, can't handle it, then isn't I, little Karami, just going to my death?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Hongdou shook her head and said, "It's not that we can't solve it, but that weirdo is too good at hiding. I don't have time to play hide-and-seek with it, and we don't have enough manpower here, so I can only let you go."
"Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."
During this period, she had to travel around dealing with matters concerning the Life Cult and the strange occurrences that had emerged; otherwise, there would have been no need to call Zhao Xuan.
In fact, Xu Hongdou is not only called Zhao Xuan, but also several other gym-level trainers, all of whom were recruited by Xu Hongdou in version 4.2.
They were all sent to deal with high-level strange occurrences.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuan continued, "So, how strong are they?"
"Perhaps it's the Ghost King or the Ghost General," Xu Hongdou said after thinking for a moment.
"Sister Hongdou, you're not even sure about that strange strength. What if a Ghost King or Ghost Emperor comes?" Zhao Xuan rolled his eyes and said.
"Don't worry, it definitely won't exceed the Ghost King's level." Xu Hongdou patted Zhao Xuan's shoulder casually, looking reassured.
Then, without waiting for Zhao Xuan to refuse, he handed him a document.
Immediately afterwards, she made up an excuse and hurriedly left, as if she was afraid that Zhao Xuan would refuse.

Chapter 148 Little Dream
Zhao Xuan rolled his eyes when he saw this, and then opened the document to read it.
The document was titled "Strange Events at an Ordinary Middle School."
When Zhao Xuan saw the words "ordinary middle school," he remembered that Shi Miao attended an ordinary middle school.
As Zhao Xuan looked down, his brows furrowed.
He looked down and noticed some dark brown stains on the edges of the paper, which gleamed eerily in the sunlight.
Below the words "Investigation Report on Strange Events at an Ordinary Middle School" was a blurry screenshot from a surveillance camera.
In the picture, a girl in a school uniform is standing at the door of the art classroom, and the moonlight stretches her shadow into a long and distorted shape.
"The first incident occurred at 11:47 PM on September 12."
"The security guard on duty heard the sound of paint cans rolling down from the third floor and found a large amount of fresh blood in the art classroom. DNA testing confirmed that the blood belonged to Chen Meiling, the art teacher who had been missing for three days."
Tucked inside the report was a photograph of the scene. Amidst the crimson stains, 22 twisted Bagua (Eight Trigrams) patterns were drawn in cinnabar, with eight bloodstains radiating outwards from the center. At the intersection of the Qian (Heaven) and Kun (Earth) positions lay a broken wolf-hair brush.
Even more bizarrely, the inside of all the windows was covered with yellow talismans, on which the words "amnesty decree" were written in blood, the handwriting so chaotic that it almost pierced through the back of the paper.
"The second eyewitness was Shi Miao, a student from Class 7 of Senior Three."
Upon seeing this, a glint flashed in Zhao Xuan's eyes. He hadn't expected that Shi Miao was involved in this matter.
However, Zhao Xuan only thought about it for a moment before continuing to investigate.
On the desk in the photo lies an unfinished sketch. The woman in the drawing has long hair that hangs to the ground, her neck is tilted back at an incredible angle, and all her fingernails are turned outwards—it is exactly what Teacher Chen was wearing on the day she disappeared.
Zhao Xuan quickly finished reading all the documents, stroked his chin, and muttered to himself, "Looks like I'll have to ask Shi Miao."
But I should go find Yingzi tonight to keep my appointment, otherwise that little girl will get angry.
As the last rays of the setting sun disappeared, the entire earth was plunged into darkness, and the pale moon hung high in the sky.
The massive silhouette of the Steel Raven swept across the dark night sky.
At the same time, on Qiao Yingzi's side...
Qiao Yingzi skipped and hopped out of the elegant garden.
A luxury car had been waiting by the roadside for quite some time.
When Qiao Weidong saw his daughter get out of the car, he quickly got out as well and said with a smile, "Yingzi."
A young and beautiful mature woman came down with him; this was Qiao Weidong's girlfriend, Xiao Meng.
When Qiao Yingzi saw the two of them, she called out, "Dad, Aunt Xiaomeng."
"Hello, Yingzi." Xiaomeng looked at Qiao Yingzi and said with a smile.
"Come on, honey, let's go eat hot pot. And Dad has a surprise for you," Qiao Weidong said with a grin, looking all mysterious.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yingzi asked excitedly, "Dad, what's the surprise? Can you tell me first?"
"No," Qiao Weidong shook his head.
"Alright, let's get going. I've prepared a lot of your favorite foods, Yingzi."
"Yes, Yingzi, your dad has prepared a lot of your favorite foods." Xiaomeng said with a smile, but there was a hint of jealousy in her tone.
Xiaomeng felt that Qiao Weidong was not even half as good to her as Qiao Yingzi was to her.
Seeing this, Qiao Yingzi was somewhat disappointed, but since her father didn't say anything, she changed the subject: "Dad, can I bring a friend along?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Weidong had a bad feeling, but he still asked, "That friend, is it Tao Zi?"
"No, it's Zhao Xuan." Qiao Yingzi didn't waste any words and directly said Zhao Xuan.
Upon hearing Zhao Xuan's name, Qiao Weidong's smiling face froze. He had been wondering why he had a bad feeling; it turned out to be that brat again.
Seeing her father's expression, Qiao Yingzi assumed he was against it and said with some disappointment, "Dad, is it not okay?"
"Sure, of course! As long as my daughter is happy, anything is fine with me," Qiao Weidong said with a smile when he saw his daughter's disappointment.
"I knew Dad was the best," Qiao Yingzi said with a grin and a coquettish tone.
Qiao Weidong had no resistance to his daughter's coquettishness and wore a big smile on his face.
Xiaomeng felt a little bitter, as if she were an outsider, but she quickly composed herself and reminded him, "Weidong, Yingzi, it's getting late."
After Xiaomeng's reminder, Qiao Weidong realized what was happening and said, "Right, right, I almost forgot, Yingzi, let's go."
He then got into the driver's seat, and Xiaomeng and Qiao Yingzi also got into the car.
After the car drove away, Song Qian, carrying Liuwei, walked out from a corner, looking at the departing car with a complicated expression.
"Woo~ woo~" As if sensing Song Qian's sadness, Liuwei nuzzled her with its little head to comfort her.
"Thank you, Six-Tails. I'm fine." Song Qian rubbed Six-Tails' little head and smiled.
With Liuwei around, Song Qian's mood improved a lot.
"Since Yingzi and the others are having a big meal, I'll take you out for a proper meal too, Liuwei."
"Woo woo~~" The six-tailed fox let out an excited cry upon hearing this.
"You, just like your master, are both greedy little guys." Seeing this, Song Qian nodded the little head of the six-tailed fox with a hint of annoyance, and 447 laughed and scolded.
"Woo woo~~" Six-Tails still looked obedient.
However, Song Qian still stepped out of the Shuxiang Yayuan.
The reason why Song Qian didn't invite Tong Wenjie is that after Fang Yifan was hospitalized, Tong Wenjie seemed to have a distance from Song Qian and rarely contacted her anymore.
Seeing this, Song Qian did not look for Tong Wenjie.
.........
Time flows by like water, and before we knew it, it was already around seven o'clock in the evening.
In a bustling hot pot restaurant, Qiao Yingzi ate her food absentmindedly, glancing at the sky every now and then, as if waiting for someone.
"Old Qiao, who is this Zhao Xuan? Looking at Yingzi like this, isn't he a bit...?" Xiao Meng whispered, looking at Qiao Yingzi.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Weidong said somewhat unhappily, "That's just a cocky brat."
Although Qiao Weidong said this, his face showed helplessness.
Qiao Weidong admired Zhao Xuan, but he felt very unhappy when he thought about his daughter's attitude towards him.
After all, this is a common problem among older fathers.

Chapter 149 Holy Lord
The neon lights of the hot pot restaurant flowed through the night as Qiao Yingzi looked out the floor-to-ceiling window for the thirteenth time.
"Clang!!" A clanging sound of metal suddenly rang out in the night sky.
"Look at the sky!" The child at the next table cried out, breaking the noise.
Eight-meter-long steel wings tore through the night, and moonlight reflected a chilling light off the cold, hard metal feathers.
The Corviknight folded its wings and swooped down, sparks flying as its claws touched the ground, causing the entire street to tremble slightly as its heavy body landed.
"Whoosh!!" Zhao Xuan's movement as he flipped off the crow's back was fluid and graceful, the hem of his Chunfeng Middle School uniform fluttering in the air.
"This...this is Corviknight? I've seen it in the Pokédex!" An intern wearing a hot pot restaurant apron knocked over the condiment station, but her phone camera remained pointed at the street: "Its feathers are said to be as hard as steel!"
The floor-to-ceiling windows of the hot pot restaurant were instantly filled with diners taking photos.
"Zhao Xuan is here." Qiao Yingzi skipped out of the private room, her ponytail billowing in the night breeze.
Qiao Weidong's chopsticks, which were holding crab sticks, froze in mid-air as he watched his daughter lunge at the boy standing next to the steel behemoth.
"Hello, Uncle." Zhao Xuan took off his tactical gloves, revealing a Poké Ball embedded in his waistband.
The Steelraven lowered its armored head as if to cooperate, making a gurgling sound from its throat like a steam valve turning.
"Gah~~"
Qiao Weidong followed them out, and seeing his daughter's hand tugging at Zhao Xuan's sleeve, he squeezed out a voice through gritted teeth: "Young people these days really know how to have fun. They even bring an aircraft carrier to eat hot pot?" He deliberately tapped the glass window with his chopsticks, "Doesn't this big bird have to pay parking fees if it's parked on the side of the road?"
"Dad!" Qiao Yingzi stomped her foot, wondering what her father was saying.
"Caw~~" The Steel-Armored Raven suddenly spread one wing. The long, metallic wings cast a shadow in front of Qiao Weidong, startling him so much that he retreated repeatedly.
“Come back, Steelrak.” Zhao Xuan raised his hand and gently stroked the giant rak’s neck. “And Uncle Qiao, I don’t need to pay any parking fees.”
Xiao Meng helped Qiao Weidong up, saying, "The other kid came all this way, and you act like a Snorlax whose snacks were stolen."
At the same time, she looked at Corviknight, which was using its beak to help the waiter pick up the condiments. "But such a big Pokémon, we'll have to have a separate table for hot pot, right?"
"It just needs to eat special steel energy cubes," Zhao Xuan said, taking out neatly stacked hexagonal metal blocks from his backpack.
"Crunch!! Crunch!!" The entire private room echoed with the clattering sound of gears turning as the giant crow picked up a piece and began to chew.
Everyone was astonished by the horrifying way the Steel Crow ate.
"Poisonous Po ...
"Zhao Xuan, is this Poison Baby? It's really peculiar." Qiao Yingzi said with some surprise when she saw Poison Baby.
Qiao Yingzi had previously seen it from photos posted by Zhao Xuan.
Qiao Weidong and Xiao Meng were both surprised to see the suddenly appearing Poison Baby.
"Poisonous~~" But Poison Baby didn't care about them. Instead, it pointed at the food in the hot pot with its little finger, indicating that it wanted to eat too.
"Alright, you eat too. You're such a little foodie," Zhao Xuan said helplessly.
"Zhao Xuan, let Poison Baby eat mine, mine is all cooked." Seeing this, Qiao Yingzi handed her bowl to Poison Baby.
"Poisonous Poison~~" Poisonous Baby didn't stand on ceremony. After calling out twice, it picked up Qiao Yingzi's bowl and started eating.
.........
At the same time, in a regular middle school.
In the pitch-black night, the entire middle school was quiet, except for a single light shining in the security room.
There was a security guard inside, who looked to be around fifty or sixty years old.
This security guard is none other than Wan Yi, the grandfather of Wan Sui and Wan Xing in the movie "Take My Brother Away".
