"You owe me a life?"
Duan Chen quickly realized she was referring to the Soul Annihilation Spear incident. Back then, Duan Chen had blocked a blow for her, leaving a deep impression on Du Qingyi.
"You're too kind. No matter who it is, if they're my companion, I think I would do the same."
"Mr. Bai is truly straightforward."
Although Duan Chen had explained the general situation, he had kept his real name from Geng Weibin. As a result, Geng Weibin still addressed him based on the name "Bai Se."
"If you're going to the capital, I can arrange a suitable identity for you. And with my arrangements, those scoundrels in the capital won't be suspicious."
Geng Weibin narrowed his eyes and proposed a brilliant idea.
"Then I'll trouble you with this matter." Duan Chen was deeply touched.
"I told you, there's no need to be so polite. You saved my daughter from Fu Ze, which is a great kindness. Later, you helped me eliminate the sea monsters in Bing City. This little favor is nothing."
Finally, Duan Chen and Du Qingyi left Geng Weibin's residence together and arrived at the Jia family manor.
"You're back?"
Wu Suowei was playing timi. Seeing Duan Chen return, he grudgingly cast a glance at him.
Is this guy really a god?
Even after so long, Du Qingyi still couldn't accept this fact.
Duan Chen gathered everyone and briefly outlined the mission.
"When we go to the capital, our identities as psionics cannot be hidden. For this, the Lord of Bing City has given us a reasonable and appropriate cover identity: exchange and study."
Bing City was a small city, and there weren't many high-level agents. The idea of going to the capital to study under this guise, especially with Geng Weibin's proposal, was incredibly logical. Everyone agreed.
"This time, Yuan Yuan, Yuan Qingqing, Jun Ci, Qin Nanyuan, you guys don't need to say much. Tu Feiyuan, your appearance needs to be changed."
"I'll change it."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Hill. Jia Yunlian, you'll depart after us, preferably a day later. Sun Xiaoxiao, Tian Qi, Ding Ding, you three will wait here. I'll call you when you're needed."
"Understood."
"Okay."
"Once we enter the capital, you must not expose your abilities!"
This was something Duan Chen wanted to emphasize. Everyone's abilities were unique. Once exposed, it would be easy to link them to a specific person, especially since Jun Ci and Qin Nanyuan were both under the close watch of the Jun and Qin families respectively.
"But if our cover is exchange and study, how can we not expose our abilities?"
"I'll handle the deception. If it's absolutely necessary, I can use my abilities as a cover."
Duan Chen's skill of replicating abilities had copied quite a few. In a pinch, he could provide a cover for Yuan Yuan and the others.
"Alright, if there's no other way, then that's how it will be."
"Yes, then we'll rest here for a few days, and after a few days, we'll set off for the capital!"
"Yes!"
As they returned to their rooms, Ding Ding was still sighing.
"Following Duan Chen always leads to many exciting missions."
Duan Chen rolled his eyes. If he had a choice, he wouldn't want things to be so thrilling.
Hill's modification surgery was quick. On the third day, Duan Chen saw a normal-looking kitten in the manor.
"Can this guy be brought on the plane?"
"I can turn into a human!"
It had to be said that Tu Feiyuan's current appearance was very cute, making Duan Chen hesitant to mock him.
"Then we'll have to buy an extra ticket?"
Du Qingyi protested.
This would all be an expense for the Spirit Hunter Guild!
"Meow meow meow! Stingy! I'll pay you back later, alright? This ticket is on me!"
"That's more like it."
Duan Chen was quite curious about what Tu Feiyuan would look like as a human.
So, on the day before their departure, he succeeded in seeing a golden-haired, non-mainstream guy.
The golden-haired guy was wearing what modern young people called "trendy clothes," even wearing rings on his hands, and his arm tattoos were colorful. He was quite handsome and had a slender build, but his fashion sense was so outlandish that it was hard to look at.
"You are..."
"Meow!"
"Pfft—"
It had to be said that it was incredibly funny for an adult male to let out a meow with a serious expression, causing Yuan Yuan and Jun Ci to laugh for a full fifteen minutes.
"No laughing!"
Tu Feiyuan clearly realized something was wrong, his face flushing red.
"Tutu, good morning."
"Yo, Tu Mao?"
Tian Qi circled him like he had discovered a new continent.
"Meow... Don't touch me!"
"So you can turn into a human."
Tu Feiyuan's face turned as dark as ink. What do you mean "can turn into a human"? He was human to begin with!
"Alright, you guys, stop laughing. We're leaving."
Duan Chen looked at Wu Suowei, "Are you going?"
"No, I'll just wait for you guys to come back here."
It was likely that Wu Suowei had lost at timi; his expression wasn't very good, looking somewhat dejected.
"Hmph..."
With the outstanding appearance of Duan Chen and his group, they were the center of attention wherever they went, which was inconvenient for their tasks.
Still heading to the capital. The last time they took a plane to the capital, they were full of excitement, ready to participate in the training camp. But after arriving, they discovered it wasn't a paradise at all, but clearly hell.
Taking this flight again, the moods of several people were a bit complicated.
"Team... Brother Bai."
Jun Ci suddenly called out.
"Hmm?"
"Look over there."
Duan Chen followed his gaze and saw a young man occasionally glancing in their direction, seemingly looking at some girls.
"The Chen family in the capital, a family on par with the Jun and Qin families."
"How do you know?"
Jun Ci sneered a couple of times. "I've seen him. Chen Ao of the Chen family. In terms of seniority, he should be around the same as..."
"As Qin Wuji?"
Qin Nanyuan picked up the conversation.
Chen Ao... The name suited him well. He indeed had an arrogant expression. He seemed to have taken a liking to Jun Ci but was too embarrassed to approach directly.
Jun Ci looked a little proud.
"He used to mock me. And now? He still has to fawn over me."
Duan Chen was speechless.
Why did he feel like Jun Ci was enjoying this body?
"Qin Nanyuan, how about we tease him a little?"
Qin Nanyuan also became interested and excitedly asked, "How do we tease him?!"
"What are you guys playing? I want to play too!"
Tu Feiyuan was also an instigator who loved to join in the fun.
"Okay! Then the three of us will do it together!"
Saying that, the three of them actually gathered together and excitedly started discussing.
"Wow! So exciting?"
"Of course. Then you'll do this, and I'll do that."
Hill leaned into Duan Chen's ear.
"I feel kind of sorry for Chen Ao."
Du Qingyi couldn't help but chuckle. "Same here."
Duan Chen looked at Chen Ao with a hint of pity.
