Chapter 912: Chapter 913: Little Jin

"Liang Ziqing, long time no see~"

Waving his hand, Feng Yuan smiled and spoke. Although they had only met once, he still remembered the other’s name. Coming to his senses, Liang Ziqing glanced at Feng Yuan and said with a lowered head,

"What are you doing here? I haven’t done anything wrong. This person is a spy sent by Sharlo."

"It seems like there might be some misunderstanding?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Feng Yuan and then at Liang Ziqing with some surprise. Although she knew the other person was somewhat insecure, she wouldn’t treat a stranger like this, at least, not as if she were confronting a malicious villain.

"Probably, I never said you did anything wrong. Why don’t you consider those false memories as nothing more than a dream?"

Feng Yuan suggested with a smile. In reality, the other person didn’t have many memories of E Hua Temple; if they didn’t think about it too much, treating it as a bad dream, it shouldn’t be as troubling as it now seemed.

"But those people, those Spirit Beasts..."

With her head down, Liang Ziqing muttered to herself. The more she tried to forget, the clearer the memories became. Cheng Xiaoxiao glanced at Liang Ziqing and said,

"I don’t know what happened, but you can tell me secretly later. I promise I won’t tell anyone."

"Speaking out might lighten your burden."

Staring at Cheng Xiaoxiao for a while, Liang Ziqing smiled a bit and nodded. Veronia, with a puzzled look, pulled a pendant tag from the other person and said,

"This must be specially made, right? So brazen?"

"Are you planning to frame someone? He’s not as easy to talk to as we are."

Agunas spotted the pendant tag’s significance at a glance and said somewhat speechlessly. If they truly provoked him, it might even lead to an instant obliteration of a nation, as he wouldn’t be as restrained as a typical Divine Beast.

"Really... this is asking for death. I’m taking this with me. Better not let it appear in the investigation report. Forget it, I’ll talk to Captain Yan about it later."

Feng Yuan said with a hint of a headache. Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Feng Yuan with surprise, realizing that he wasn’t joking, which was unexpected, as, according to her understanding, he was the type to avoid trouble whenever possible.

"This..."

The Special Duty Team member didn’t know how to handle the situation. According to normal procedure, what Feng Yuan was doing was clearly improper, but since he mentioned that he would see Captain Yan, the rest wasn’t for him to worry about. Thinking it over, the member said,

"Please don’t leave then. Captain Yan will be here shortly."

With a matter as significant as discovering a spy, it was natural not to leave it solely in the hands of a Special Duty Team member. Nodding his head, Feng Yuan turned to Cheng Xiaoxiao and said,

"I never expected you to be able to find a spy like this—and even figure out their background."

The spy had managed to conceal their identity, and yet, Cheng Xiaoxiao had managed to uncover their background, which was quite surprising to Feng Yuan. Even he hadn’t noticed anything before receiving a hint.

"It owes it all to this."

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked towards the golden rodent beside Liang Ziqing and said. The golden fat mouse stood upright, its small eyes continuously scanning the surroundings, its golden fur looked incredibly beautiful, exuding an air of nobility.

"Brocade Fur Rat King? That would make sense."

Remembering Liang Ziqing’s special Brocade Fur Rat King, Feng Yuan guessed what might have happened. They might have been very careful, but those small rodents trained by Liang Ziqing’s Brocade Fur Rat King, which could even use phones—they could easily sneak recording devices inside, something hard to detect. It seemed they had slipped up and been caught by Liang Ziqing.

After all, no Ultimate Move could detect specific items in a location, at best only indicating nearby objects. But the Brocade Fur Rat, and even those rats it had trained, were wrapped in a special energy that hid both the items they carried and their own energy signatures—an innate trait of rodent-like Spirit Beasts. They had probably been careless.

Not noticing the rats around was a big mistake because of the special nature of rodent-type Spirit Beasts. Those confidential areas were absolutely off-limits to rodents, even ordinary wild ones. Any that were present during classified discussions would be eliminated.

"But with your skills, you should be a high-priority surveillance target, right?"

Feng Yuan looked at Liang Ziqing with some surprise. This was no joke—if she could use these abilities to find hidden spies, the potential to do other things, even illegal acts, wasn’t out of the question.

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"Of course, but everyone trusts her."

Silently, as if feeling shy, Liang Ziqing lowered her head. The Special Duty Team member said nothing; although everyone was willing to trust Liang Ziqing, he couldn’t personally admit to such matters.

"But, what exactly do these guys want to do? Maomu City isn’t some kind of strategic location, what’s the benefit of targeting it?"

Feng Yuan said, somewhat puzzled. The trio then turned their gazes towards him, with Cheng Xiaoxiao speaking somewhat speechlessly,

"Don’t you truly understand?"

"Are you talking to me? But they must all be clear about the situation, right? What’s with this half-baked framing? It would be better to use the identity cards of the Hunters, wouldn’t it?"

"It’s probably because they don’t dare to provoke the Hunters. After all, they show no mercy to those who dare to impersonate them."

A member of the Special Duty Team said. The Hunters were even more ruthless towards imposters than to their enemies, and everyone was puzzled about why they would react this way.

"Xiao Jin, what’s wrong with you?"

Seeing his own Brocade Fur Rat King chittering at Veronia in an apparently angry manner, Feng Yuan, who knew its temperament, looked towards Agunas and asked,

"Is it trying to recruit some followers?"

Agunas nodded. It didn’t understand what use these little followers trained by Xiao Jin could have. Their combat power wasn’t strong, intelligence... was that kind of thing useful to Divine Beasts? The information that those little mice could get, the Divine Beasts had many ways to obtain. And the intel they couldn’t get, those little mice would be even less likely to obtain.

"This won’t do!"

Liang Ziqing said anxiously. Those little mice were trained by her with great effort, and she was counting on them to help her join the Special Duty Team or some other department after graduation. Naturally, she was unwilling to let them be taken away just like that.

"Even if you wanted to, it would be useless, right? Even if they served you, they wouldn’t be capable of that."

Feng Yuan looked at Veronia and said speechlessly. Those mice were certainly not larger than Veronia, so how could they serve her? Veronia glanced at Agunas and said,

"They can be used to gather information in areas where Ultimate Moves cannot be used."

"You can train them yourself, wouldn’t that be handier? But don’t keep mice in the dormitory."

Feng Yuan said, recalling something and warning her. If Veronia kept the mice in the Mirror Realm and taught them slowly, he wouldn’t mind, but he didn’t want them in the dormitory. Otherwise, Qi Chen would definitely complain to him, and honestly, he didn’t want to be greeted by a group of mice saluting him every time he returned to the dormitory.

"Is that so... then I’ll think about it some more."

After hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Veronia drifted to the side and took out her phone to check something. Feng Yuan remembered something and turned to Liang Ziqing,

"By the way, did you say earlier that some accomplices had escaped?"

"Yes, they ran too fast, and they couldn’t keep up, so..."

"That’s the way it is, Agunas, please take care, and be safe."

After nodding to Feng Yuan, Agunas tossed the book in his hand and chased off in the direction Liang Ziqing had indicated. Cheng Xiaoxiao said with a headache,

"I didn’t expect it to be such a big trouble."

Maomu City being targeted was not a good thing, especially now with a war looming, and no one knew if the other side would take any special actions against Maomu City. Shaking his head, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"There’s no way around it. I don’t know what they’re thinking, but if they don’t stop, I wouldn’t mind sorting them out myself."

Feng Yuan calmly said, looking at a little bird perched on a nearby branch. Sensing Feng Yuan’s gaze, the little bird flapped its wings and flew into the night sky.

"Did you intentionally let it carry a message?"

Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan and said, with Feng Yuan nodding and replying,

"If I didn’t, there’s no guarantee we could calm things down around here."

"Do you think they’ll really be intimidated?"

Veronia was somewhat unconvinced. Although it had not yet seriously studied the specifics of modern countries, it assumed there wouldn’t be much difference from the Mythical Era.

"They should be, unless they want to confront multiple regional Guardian Divine Beasts at the same time."

Feng Yuan said nonchalantly, already prepared that if the opposition truly ignored his warning, he’d have no issue bringing over Lorraine Tower and the others – no one could blame him then.
