Yujie then mentioned a location and said that Tian Ge would appear at this place in two days. Qin Yan and Lin Shiqi were both stunned upon hearing this, as the location was actually in the city where their Academy for Supernaturals was located. It seemed that the leader of the Chi You organization, this Tian Ge, was indeed planning something secretive.

Having obtained the necessary information, Qin Yan no longer troubled Yujie and her group. He and Lin Shiqi quickly left the area. Yujie and her associates knew that with their limited strength, they were no match for these two and had to let them go.

With their whereabouts exposed, in order to avoid complications, Qin Yan and Lin Shiqi drove back to their own city overnight. Along the way, there were no unexpected incidents. Two days later in the morning—

"It should be here." Qin Yan, dressed in black sportswear, stood on a crowded street with numerous shops, gazing up at a very upscale teahouse in front of him.

"This is one of the most bustling areas in our city. Will the leader of the Chi You organization really appear here?" By Qin Yan's side, Li Ruobing, with long flowing hair and dressed in a white and blue sportswear outfit, furrowed her brows, carefully surveying the surrounding environment.

"The information should be accurate." Qin Yan carefully recalled the situation from a few nights ago. In the circumstances at that time, Yujie should not have lied, so the credibility of this information was quite high.

"Alright, let's go in." Li Ruobing trusted Qin Yan a lot. Without saying more, she took the lead into the teahouse.

Similar to gathering information in the bar last time, Qin Yan and Li Ruobing pretended to be regular customers and entered this seemingly high-end teahouse together. They found a good vantage point in the main hall on the second floor, ordered some drinks, and observed the surroundings discreetly.

Unlike last time, this time Li Ruobing and Qin Yan were acting together. Since Li Ruobing said that Tian Ge, as the leader of Chi You, should have extremely powerful abilities, it was more secure for the highest-level supernatural being in the Academy, Qin Yan, to accompany her.

"Do you think our operation this time will go smoothly? Will there be any problems?" Li Ruobing looked at Qin Yan sitting across from her, slightly worried.

"I think it should be fine." Qin Yan said confidently, "Unlike last time, this is not Chi You's territory, and this shop is not a secret base of the Chi You organization. Moreover, this area is a bustling district with a lot of foot traffic, so the other party should not dare to cause trouble in such a place."

"That makes sense..." Li Ruobing nodded. It was probably her first time going out on a mission with Qin Yan, and Li Ruobing seemed a bit awkward. Their conversation was sporadic, with Li Ruobing occasionally looking around and then at Qin Yan. When Qin Yan noticed her gaze, she quickly looked away. Initially, Qin Yan didn't pay much attention, but after a while, he noticed Li Ruobing's unusual behavior and asked, "Is something wrong, Director Li? Are you feeling unwell?"

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

"No, I'm fine. My health is good." Li Ruobing replied. After a while, she said in a slightly reproachful tone, "Why do you always call me Director Li? Don't I have a name?"

Suddenly asked this question by Li Ruobing, Qin Yan was a bit unsure how to respond. He said, "I see others calling you that, so I just followed suit."

With a slightly displeased expression, Li Ruobing said, "How others address me is their business. You don't need to imitate others so insistently."

"Uh, then how should I address you?" Qin Yan was a bit confused about the situation.

"This...," Li Ruobing's face blushed slightly as she gathered courage and said, "You can call me Sister Bing like Shiqi does, or just call me Ruobing, it's fine."

"Sister Bing? Ruobing?" Qin Yan thought for a moment and felt that it seemed a bit too intimate, so he shook his head and said, "I don't feel quite right about it. I think it's better to stick with calling you Director Li as before."

"Then why do you directly call Shiqi and Mengdie by their names?"

"They are them, and you are you." Qin Yan, although aware that this might upset Li Ruobing, did not intend to change his stance.

"Alright, suit yourself." Li Ruobing's face showed a hint of disappointment. She wondered if she was usually too rigid or liked to put on airs, which led Qin Yan to address her in such a way, even though she was only a few years older than him.

As time passed, several hours went by unnoticed in the teahouse, which remained calm. Qin Yan and Li Ruobing did not spot any suspicious targets. This made them wonder if Yujie had lied or if the other party had discovered their ambush and changed their plans, deciding not to appear there. Just then, an unexpected person appeared.

"Hey, Qin Yan? What are you doing here?" A well-dressed, bespectacled young man with a gentle demeanor walked towards Qin Yan in surprise. Qin Yan was also taken aback when he saw him because this person turned out to be Wei Zheng, his former school friend who had already graduated.

"What a coincidence. What are you doing here, Wei Zheng?" Qin Yan was naturally surprised. He had come here to find the leader of the Chi You organization, but unexpectedly ran into Wei Zheng.

"I'm here to meet someone..." Wei Zheng said, then he noticed Li Ruobing sitting across from Qin Yan and looked at her, "Who is this?"

"Oh, her." Qin Yan suddenly realized that the situation might be troublesome. Li Ruobing was the director of the Academy for Supernaturals, and her true identity could not be revealed to Wei Zheng. So he lied, "She is my sister Qin Ruobing. She came from our hometown to visit me."

"Really?" Due to similar experiences in the past, Wei Zheng looked skeptical and didn't quite believe Qin Yan's words. "Last time it was Sister Shiqi, and now it's Sister Ruobing. How come I never heard that you have so many sisters, and all of them are so beautiful?"

"Well, even though it sounds a bit far-fetched, that's how it is." Qin Yan hesitated, unsure how to explain.

Seeing Qin Yan's awkward situation, Li Ruobing wanted to help him out. Suddenly, she spoke up, "Actually, we are not siblings. My real name is Li Ruobing, and we are actually dating with Qin Yan."

"... ... "

A moment of silence followed, with Qin Yan and Wei Zheng looking at Li Ruobing with embarrassment. This made Li Ruobing realize that she had said the wrong thing. Wei Zheng scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Oh... so you are Qin Yan's girlfriend. I'm sorry if I disturbed you guys."

"No, you didn't bother us at all. It's fine. You are Qin Yan's friend, right? Please have a seat." Li Ruobing moved the seat towards Qin Yan, showing a slightly stiff smile.

"Alright, sorry for the interruption." Originally wanting to find a reason to leave, Wei Zheng sat down at the round table after Li Ruobing's invitation.
