Chapter 929 My Name Is Ji Nian
“?” Wei Dong’s mouth twitched slightly as he pointed at the girl with one foot on the table, and reluctantly said, “That… is our president.”
When saying these words, Wei Dong wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
This was so embarrassing!
Just after telling others about the president’s heroic deeds, the carefully built image and majestic figure instantly collapsed.
Lin Qiye had to shift his gaze back to that girl. Judging from her appearance, she should be about the same age as him… but no matter how he looked at her, there was a huge difference from the image he had imagined.
“Lin Qiye.” The girl immediately called out his name and patted the seat beside her. “Come sit here.”
Lin Qiye was stunned.
After pondering for a moment, he still walked over and sat down on the sofa, asking puzzledly, “You know me?”
Lin Qiye searched through his memories and confirmed this was his first time meeting her. They had never crossed paths before, so why could this Shangyie Association president from deep within the mist directly call out his name?
“Of course I know you.” Ji Nian smiled slightly.
She leaned close to Lin Qiye’s ear and said in a voice only the two of them could hear: “Which hospital room… are you up to now?”
Lin Qiye’s pupils suddenly contracted!
“What hospital room?” Lin Qiye asked, playing dumb.
Seeing Lin Qiye’s vigilant eyes, Ji Nian sighed helplessly and extended her right hand, counting off her fingers one by one.
“Nyx, Merlin, Bragi…”
The moment these three names were spoken, huge waves surged in Lin Qiye’s heart!
When Ji Nian had just mentioned the hospital rooms earlier, he already had a vague feeling but wasn’t certain. But now seeing her so easily list the names of the patients in the first three rooms, Lin Qiye knew this couldn’t be a coincidence.
This girl… knew about the existence of the Gods’ Mental Hospital, and knew that it was with him.
“Who are you?” Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed tightly.
Only then did Ji Nian realize she hadn’t introduced herself. She coughed lightly twice, casually extended her right hand, and said with the corners of her mouth slightly raised:
“Hello Director Lin, my name is Ji Nian.”
…
The Mist.
An electric scooter slowly drove across the turbulent sea surface. Lu Wuwei gripped the handlebars tightly with both hands, expressionlessly staring ahead.
Behind him, two figures wearing little yellow duck hats slowly floated in the air.
“Mr. Lu… can we go a bit faster?” Baili Pangpang’s mouth twitched slightly. “At this speed, when will we ever find Qiye?”
Lu Wuwei shrugged, “My Forbidden Domain can only track orders at this speed. Any faster and we’ll lose the target, plus… the scooter might run out of battery.”
Baili Pangpang: …
Your electric scooter can already ride in the mist, and you’re worried about the battery? Do you need to be this modest?
After complaining internally a thousand times, just as Baili Pangpang was about to say something, a light sound came from behind them, and powerful waves of spiritual force surged forth.
“Did someone break through?” Cao Yuan was startled.
Baili Pangpang and Cao Yuan turned their heads simultaneously. They saw Shen Qingzhu, who was sitting cross-legged on the golden sword flying through the air, slowly open his eyes with a faint smile at the corners of his mouth.
The spiritual force emanating from his body was now dozens of times more powerful than before.
Shen Qingzhu had broken through to “Limitless.”
“Unexpected that you would be faster than me.” An Qingyu sighed while concentrating on controlling [Yaoguang], seeming somewhat dejected.
“You’re busy controlling the forbidden object and don’t have time to break through. If I were the one controlling [Yaoguang] now, you might have broken through even faster than me.” Shen Qingzhu raised his eyebrows and said.
An Qingyu shook his head helplessly without saying anything.
“I’ll control [Yaoguang] from here, you focus on breaking through.” Shen Qingzhu took control of [Yaoguang] from An Qingyu’s hands. “Can you break through before we find Qiye?”
An Qingyu was silent for a moment before nodding firmly, “Yes.”
Up ahead, Baili Pangpang turned back and couldn’t help but sigh,
“Cool bro has broken through too. Once Qingyu breaks through, except for sister Jiang Er and sister Jialan, our whole team will be at ‘Limitless’… the future looks bright.”
Cao Yuan raised his eyebrows, “Jiang Er is still at ‘Sea’ level, that’s true since she’s still young… but do you really think Jialan hasn’t reached ‘Limitless’?”
Baili Pangpang was stunned, “But sister Jialan never went through the breakthrough process?”
“Since we’ve known her, when have you ever seen her break through?” Cao Yuan shook his head. “When we first met her, we thought she was at ‘River’ level like us. Later, after training with the Sword Saint, when we successively broke through to Sea level, she also showed Sea level strength. Now we’ve reached ‘Limitless’, and she can still pin down ‘Limitless’ cultivators and beat them up…
She has never truly broken through in the real sense, but rather her level keeps rising along with our strength.”
Baili Pangpang was stunned for a moment, “You mean… her level is fake?”
“I’m saying her true level might be higher than we imagine, she’s just been hiding it and hasn’t revealed it.”
“But why would she do that?”
“Don’t know… but it’s not important.” Cao Yuan shrugged, “Everyone has secrets, like Qiye’s endless Forbidden Domains and the ‘Mystery’ Corps, like the Ruyi that the Celestial Lord put in your body, like how high Jialan’s true level really is… We don’t need to know everything, just trust each other.”
“That’s true.” Baili Pangpang grinned, “No matter how strong sister Jialan is, she’s still our [Nightfall] team’s sister Jialan.”
As the two were chatting, Lu Wuwei, who was riding in front, suddenly braked hard and stopped on the sea surface.
“Mr. Lu, what happened?” Baili Pangpang asked puzzledly.
Lu Wuwei frowned as he looked at the order in his hand, surprise appearing in his eyes, “The direction where Lin Qiye is suddenly changed…”
“Changed?” An Qingyu frowned, “Isn’t it normal that he’s moving?”
“No, not that kind of small-scale movement… it’s like he suddenly jumped from one space to another space.”
The [Nightfall] team members exchanged glances, all seeing worry in each other’s eyes.
“Then… can you still find him?” Baili Pangpang asked carefully.
“Yes.” Lu Wuwei was silent for a moment, then pointed at the sea surface below, “We… might need to go to the seafloor.”
Seafloor?
An Qingyu, sitting on [Yaoguang], was slightly stunned hearing these two words.
He seemed to think of something, looked around at their route since leaving Greater Xia, and a thought emerged in his mind.
“I think I know where Qiye is.”
