After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

Zhou Yan continued to shovel food into his mouth, but his head kept looking eastward.

While eating, Zhou Yan suddenly felt a very strange sense of crisis, similar to the malice of Chi You, but it quickly disappeared.

Someone wants to harm me, and they're quite powerful.

Zhou Yan's sense of danger is so weak that he can hardly sense targets that will not harm him at all. Anyone who can make Zhou Yan feel danger is quite strong and should be at the level of a top student from one of the four schools.

However, this malice was fleeting; it was a case of having malicious thoughts but suppressing them, and not intending to do it.

After finishing his meal, Zhou Yan left his prison cell.

Before arriving, Zhou Yan also found it incredible that his luxurious prison duplex could be accessed, with a garden and swimming pool outside. When he first arrived, a squinty-eyed conman next door was cleaning his yard with a lawnmower and invited Zhou Yan to have dinner with him that evening.

If Zhou Yan hadn't repeatedly confirmed that he was there to go to jail, he would have thought he had moved and that he had a kind and gentle neighbor who seemed like a good person.

When Zhou Yan came out this time, the squinty-eyed fraudster neighbor next door was gone, but the beautiful murderer next door was doing yoga on a yoga mat in her garden.

The beautiful female murderer saw Zhou Yan come out and asked him kindly.

"You just finished eating, right? You can't not exercise after eating. Do you want to learn yoga with me? It's a great way to lose weight."

Zhou Yan: "..."

"Oh, right."

The beautiful woman changed her yoga pose, exposing her lovely figure to the sunlight.

"What crime did you commit to get here? You're such a young man, could it be that you, like me, committed a crime of passion?"

This beautiful woman's boyfriend cheated on her and went around badmouthing her. In a fit of rage, she shot and killed him, and then turned herself in to the police.

The judge, considering his voluntary surrender, sent him to this place to serve his sentence—or rather, to go on vacation.

Zhou Yan shook his head.

"No, I killed my favorite girl..."

Zhou Yan grinned maliciously at the beautiful woman.

“She ate it too, so she'll never fall in love with anyone else in her life, and she'll belong to me forever.”

The beautiful woman opposite her turned pale, immediately got up, packed up her yoga mat, and went back to her cell.

"Little guy, you're really good at bluffing."

Zhou Yan turned around and saw his neighbor on the other side, the squinty-eyed conman, leaning on the fence, looking at Zhou Yan with a smile.

Zhou Yan countered with a question.

"I'm not lying."

The fraudster laughed heartily.

“My eyes have never misjudged anyone. You have a soft heart, how could you possibly do something bad?”

Zhou Yan chuckled and went back to his room. When he got to his bedroom, the computer was still playing the match between Mu Wangxi and Dongfang Shuo. However, as soon as Zhou Yan sat down, Mu Wangxi was defeated by Dongfang Shuo.

The referee declared Dongfang Shuo the winner.

In the close-up of the victor, Dongfang Shuo shouted a sentence.

"Su Bijun, I love you. Whether you like me or not, I will always love you."

In that instant, Zhou Yan's sense of crisis kicked in.

It seems that the guy who could threaten me has started plotting to frame me again.

……

Zhongzhou City Gymnasium.

After finishing the match, Dongfang Shuo returned to his rest room.

I took out a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator in the lounge to replenish my fluids, and then went to my recliner to lie down.

After all, Mu Wangxi was a top student at Xuanwu Academy. Dongfang Shuo was exhausted after his encounter with her. Of course, these were minor matters. The most embarrassing thing was confessing his feelings to Su Bijun.

Dongfang Shuo didn't actually like Su Bijun, but in order to promote Su Bijun, the men from Indiana would all announce that they liked her.

"Squeak..."

The door to the lounge opened, and at the same time, a rare and wonderfully alluring fragrance of a young girl entered Dongfang Shuo's nostrils.

Three days later, at noon.

Zhou Yan lay on his bed in his bedroom, closed his eyes, and took a nap. The nap was very comfortable, so comfortable that Zhou Yan fell asleep quickly. But halfway through his nap, Zhou Yan suddenly opened his eyes.

Zhou Yan suddenly sat up halfway up the bed.

That sense of crisis I had felt before, like that of Chi You, reappeared.

Moreover, the sense of crisis is much stronger this time compared to before, which indicates two things: either the person who wants to harm me has become stronger, or the person who wants to harm me has found teammates and devised a plan to target me.

However, this inexplicable sense of crisis appeared quickly and disappeared just as fast. Zhou Yan had only been awakened for a minute when the sense of crisis vanished.

It seems that the guy who wanted to harm me suddenly abandoned his plan.

What do you mean?

Is your family's malice capable of doing sit-ups, going up and down?

Zhou Yan got out of bed.

Zhou Yan was considering calling Little Yama and Zhuque. This inexplicable sense of crisis had appeared for the third time. Things shouldn't happen more than three times. Perhaps it was time to deal with this guy who wanted to harm him.

"Ding dong..."

It was the doorbell.

Zhou Yan checked the time; it was 1 p.m., and prison guards wouldn't be coming to provide services at this hour. So, the person who came was most likely not a prison guard.

Normally, Zhou Yan wouldn't be so wary, but these past few days he's sensed danger time and time again. So when he heard the doorbell, he closed his eyes and used his superhuman vision to simulate going downstairs and opening the door.

The people outside the door did not meet Zhou Yan's worst expectations. They were not assassins or armed killers, but Han Yun, the head of discipline at his own Vermilion Bird Academy, and Dongfang Li, the uncle of Dongfang Shuo whom he had met in the Zhang family community.

Upon seeing Zhou Yan emerge, Han Yun smiled bitterly as he looked at him.

"Xiao Yan, do you know? Dongfang Shuo has disappeared."

The journey to the farthest reaches has come to an end.

Zhou Yan opened his eyes, and the doorbell rang several more times.

Zhou Yan touched his chin; it seemed there was no danger.

But Dongfang Shuo has disappeared?

What happened?

Zhou Yan went downstairs and opened the door when the doorbell rang for the fifth time.

Outside the door, just as Zhou Yan could see, were his own academy's director of discipline, Han Yun, who could turn his entire body into water, and Dongfang Shuo's uncle, Dongfang Li.

Han Yun smiled wryly.

"Xiao Yan, do you know? Dongfang Shuo has disappeared."

All of this was just like the rehearsal in the distance.

Zhou Yan spoke up.

"Well, so what if she's missing? What does it have to do with me?"

Dongfang Li replied.

“Since we came to Zhongzhou City, we have only had conflicts with you. Even though we think it is unlikely that you are the murderer, you are indeed a good suspect.”

Zhou Yan didn't bother to respond to Dongfang Li, but instead turned to ask his own discipline director, Han Yun.

"If you're missing, go find the police! Why are you looking for someone like me who hasn't even finished reading 'The Lily of Sherlock Holmes'?"

"I can't help it," the discipline director said helplessly.

"Dongfang Shuo was confirmed missing two days ago. We hired professional police officers, and they investigated all the surveillance footage, but they still couldn't find Dongfang Shuo. Lord Zhuque thinks that Xiao Yan's abilities are very suitable for tracking, so he hopes that Xiao Yan can lend a hand and see if he can find him."

Zhou Yan snorted.

There was once a murder case where a murderer killed someone and then threw a deck of cards on the victim. As soon as the case was reported, countless netizens joined the discussion, digging up everything from astrological interpretations to mystical hints and historical origins. Countless people online added too much legendary color to this case.

Then the murderer was caught. When the reporter asked the police if they had solved the case based on the netizen's speculation, the police replied with a smile that they had found all the surveillance footage near the victim and found the murderer through sheer manpower and overtime work.

What do netizens know about criminal investigation? Do you think your guesses are more effective than a security camera?

With the support of modern technology, when an area is covered by countless cameras, no crime can hide. But what is interesting is that in the Eastern Xia United States, even in the capital city of Zhongzhou, crime surveillance cameras are not widely available.

Only affluent areas, such as those that contribute more tax revenue to the police force, have sufficient surveillance cameras and patrolling officers.

As for slums, civilian apartments, and other similar areas, the gun alliance of the Eastern Xia United States suggests that you buy several guns for self-defense.

Han Yun shrugged.

"Xiao Yan, I don't want to look for you either, but you're the only lead I can follow right now."

Zhou Yan nodded secretly. Since Dongfang Shuo had disappeared and neither the police nor the Dongfang family could find him, they could only follow the normal procedures, such as investigating the last person who saw Dongfang Shuo, investigating Dongfang Shuo's interpersonal relationships, identifying the most likely criminal targets, and determining who the biggest beneficiary of Dongfang Shuo's death was.

Zhou Yan himself was among those who didn't get along with Dongfang Shuo, and he was imprisoned by Xuanwu in order to appease the heavenly god families of Indian Continent.

Logically, it would be plausible if someone were to secretly kidnap Dongfang Shuo out of anger over being imprisoned.

Given the current situation, he is probably suspected of committing a crime. The normal procedure would be for him to be summoned to the police station for questioning. However, as a big shot in Indiana, he doesn't need to go to the police station. They came to him demanding an explanation. Of course, the explanation might just be a pretext. Judging from Han Yun's request for help, Zhou Yan felt that the Dongfang family might prefer his help. However, these old folks are too proud to admit it, so they used the excuse that he is suspected of committing a crime.

Therefore, instead of asking for help, they have to clear their names and work hard to gain a higher position.

Damn it, these charlatans really have a sense of shame. They've been humiliated for days, and they're still putting on airs.

"Cough cough..."

Han Yun coughed.

"Xiao Yan, let's not worry about other things for now. How about we go find Dongfang Shuo first? This is also Lord Zhuque's idea."

Zhou Yan paused for a second, then nodded.

Zhou Yan actually disliked the Celestial Family of Indiana, but Dongfang Shuo was about to go to Buddha's Hand State to save people, and tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of citizens would benefit from it. Zhou Yan could vent his anger by beating Dongfang Shuo, and it didn't matter if he beat him into a pig's head, but Dongfang Shuo should not die, and could not die.

Han Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that you understand, Xiao Yan. Come on, I'll take you to the place where Dongfang Shuo was last."

Han Yun, Dongfang Li, and Zhou Yan were released from prison together and got into Han Yun's car to go to the Zhongzhou City Gymnasium.

……

Zhangjia Community, Zhangjia Residence.

Zhang Ye's father had just returned from the Dongfang family's conference room when he saw his father sitting on the sofa in the living room smoking.

Zhang Ye's father asked in surprise.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Zhang Ye's grandfather frowned.

"I don't know why, but I always feel like something's not right, somewhere in my heart."

Zhang Ye's grandfather was clutching his chest.

"It's always a series of pains."

Zhang Ye's father comforted him.

"It's alright. We have more than ten demigods here. Unless a true god of the Four Divine Beasts level makes a move, no one in our community will be able to cause trouble."

Grandpa Zhang Ye replied.

"Like that kid Zhou Yan?"

Zhang Ye's father was delighted.
