The capture operation proceeded very smoothly.
With the fall of the Dragon Head, the entire operation concluded.
No accidents occurred during the transport back to the Anomaly Bureau, though Baiyu did not go with them.
He Jin probably wanted to "reminisce" with the Dragon Head.
Once they're finished, Baiyu can have the Dragon Head cooperate with his work.
As for Zhang Gai and the others.
After entering the prison of the Security Bureau, it's naturally impossible for them to get out.
Even if he's not the mastermind behind the assassination, Baiyu believes Zhang Gai couldn't be completely uninvolved and shouldn't be allowed to leave.
However, over these many days,
Baiyu has been busy with the spy affair, so much so that there is a more important task he has yet to do.
That is to advance to Master.
Due to the characteristic of the Extraordinary Sequence that requires Magic Elixir for advancement, Baiyu's Extraordinary Sequence has fallen far behind the progress of the Martial Dao path.
Moreover, after drinking the Butcher's broth,
Baiyu's Martial Dao power has increased significantly, further widening the gap with the Extraordinary Sequence.
Now.
Baiyu has finally gathered all the materials.
And his Tier Eight Magic Elixir, the Fanatical Scholar, has been thoroughly digested.
It's the perfect time for advancement.
Returning to the Violet Count's Mansion from Wandering Plaza, Qiong Xue had already prepared everything.
Recently, Ning Qian and the others seem to be busy cultivating, rarely seen around.
Baiyu came alone to the training room.
As a result.
He coincidentally met Shi Yi Xian, the Moon Lady, and Lin Shiyi in the training room.
The Moon Lady is practicing Black Moon Spirit Technique. She has a gifted talent in this path, mastering the use of Black Moon Power to perfection.
Even Baiyu had to admit.
Her utilization of the Black Moon Mark and comprehension of Black Moon Power are unparalleled talents, unmatched by anyone.
Therefore, her following Shi Yi Xian to learn and use Black Moon Power, Baiyu hasn't stopped.
Everyone chooses their own path.
Each must be responsible for his or her choices; the Moon Lady chose this path, Baiyu wouldn't say more.
However, what surprised him.
Lin Shiyi was also there.
This Lin Family lady seems content with her situation, spending her days in leisure, reading books, walking, raising a cat, and such.
According to Qiong Xue.
Lin Shiyi hasn't left the Violet Count's Mansion once since she arrived, nor met any Lin Family acquaintances, not even former guest scholars or subordinates.
She also declared publicly that she was doing well at the Count's Manor, dispelling rumors of her captivity.
That's why Baiyu hasn't intervened with her.
After all, those born to prominent families have the wisdom to navigate life skillfully no matter where they are.
So, seeing Lin Shiyi there, Baiyu was taken aback.
When did she get involved with Shi Yi Xian? These two women are hardly easy to deal with.
"Master."
Entering the training room, Baiyu saluted Shi Yi Xian as usual.
Although Shi Yi Xian poses no threat to him now, proper etiquette must be maintained; publicly, Shi Yi Xian is his teaching master.
"Oh, it's Baiyu. Been busy lately?"
Shi Yi Xian looked at him with a half-smile, a peculiar expression on her face.
Baiyu's expression remained unchanged, "Why would Master say so?"
Shi Yi Xian chuckled, "With so many sisters at home waiting for you, yet you are absent for ten days or more, you must be busy outside."
Baiyu raised an eyebrow, "Master, please watch your tone. Since I've been too busy to come back, you should be pleased.
If I were in the Count's Manor every day, your good days would be over."
Indeed.
Shi Yi Xian's unique status.
Apart from Baiyu, no one else in the manor would trouble her, living quite comfortably.
"Oh dear, just a casual remark, why get so fierce?"
Shi Yi Xian's eyes turned to crescents as she clapped her hands, and six martial artists in black attire emerged from behind the training room.
There were two women and four men.
As soon as they appeared, Baiyu sensed the Black Moon Mark on them. These were the prisoners Pang Fei sent last time for the drug trial.
Unexpectedly, after that period.
They were trained by Shi Yi Xian, becoming Death Warriors, each a master of the Black Moon Sequence.
"Master hasn't been lazy lately, always helping you with things."
Shi Yi Xian said as if claiming credit, "When you're in need of people, as your teacher, I should help you alleviate worries."
Inside, Baiyu felt quite speechless.
The prisoners sent by Pang Fei were originally meant for Baiyu to train himself, but Shi Yi Xian handled them instead.
Though these people don't affect anything,
Since Shi Yi Xian trained them, Baiyu couldn't fully trust them nor entrust them with critical tasks.
Who knows what schemes this woman might secretly plot.
"Let these people report under Qiong Xue's command."
After leaving this statement.
Baiyu pushed open the large door behind the training room, entering his private cultivation chamber.
Besides devices for Blood and Qi Refining and Growth Device,
there were numerous bottles and jars filled with varied colored liquids, a plethora of flasks, tubes, and other scientific equipment, resembling a mad scientist's laboratory.
In addition,
the adjacent small storeroom accumulated numerous herbs.
Plenty of perplexing large devices scattered around, seemingly either for cultivation or researching various oddities.
At this moment.
Inside the private training room, a large hamster donning a child's outfit, sat at the experiment table, studying a certain Magic Elixir.
