The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Jiang Chuan looked at the desolate mountains around him, his gaze involuntarily drifting into the distance.

The significance of this battle to him went far beyond that.

At this moment, a sentence from the man in black kept echoing in his mind.

They want to take me back to the lab to uncover some unknown secrets?

With this in mind, Jiang Chuan suddenly had the idea of ​​going to the island nation to take a look.

However, Jiang Chuan still returned to the organization.

With a slight shift in his mind, Jiang Chuan sped towards the organization like a heavy cannon.

Within the organization.

"Old cow!"

"You know what, you actually look quite handsome in this outfit!"

Wu Zhen looked the Bull Demon King up and down, a strange smile spreading across his face.

The Bull Demon King looked at his colorful clothes and felt a little embarrassed.

These guys just make fun of themselves.

If I were to act according to my old temper, I'd slaughter them all!

But now...

The Bull Demon King is now completely like a virgin, at the mercy of Wu Zhen and the others.

"The demon clan passage is currently closed, and the order from the organization is to take a few days off."

Have fun!

Emperor Wu was all smiles.

"It's been a long time since we've gotten together."

As he spoke, Wu Zhen took out his phone and contacted Zhong Huahua, Tang Songming, Li Yi, and others...

……

Jiang Chuan looked at his phone and saw a message from Wu Zhen.

"Today, we're gathering in Qing City; the organization has assigned us a task."

task?

Jiang Chuan frowned. Could it be that a crisis had occurred in Qing City?
Qingdao is currently the safest city, and the vast majority of ordinary people in China live here.

If even the slightest problem occurs in Qing City, then the situation will become very serious.

Where should we meet?

"Lizhi Tea House, the same old place."

But Jiang Chuan had a vague feeling that something was wrong...

Why go to such a relaxing place when you have a mission?
However, before he could think too much about it, Jiang Chuan headed towards the Lizhi Tea House.

Upon arriving at Lizhi Tea House, Jiang Chuan greeted the receptionist.

"long time no see!"

The proprietress's eyes immediately curved into crescent moons.

"Hey, what a rare sight! It's been so long since I've seen you all. Why didn't you bring your friends today?"

Jiang Chuan scratched the back of his head, thinking that he might have been flying too fast...

They haven't caught up yet.

"Soon, almost there. Get me a private room."

"okay!"

"What kind of tea would you like to drink today?" the proprietress asked warmly. These young men from Jiangchuan, although not very old, always paid a relatively high fee for private rooms, so they were naturally quite hospitable.

"I'd like a cup of Jin Jun Mei tea."

As Jiang Chuan spoke, he was led to the private room, Fuze Pavilion.

Looking at the familiar surroundings, Jiang Chuan suddenly felt as if he had lived a past life...

It seems like being an ordinary person is pretty good.

But they had no choice in the matter.

Just as Jiang Chuan was sighing, the proprietress walked in with a teacup.

"Young people, the pressure is too great these days."

"You still need to learn to relax a bit."

Jiang Chuan smiled and nodded. "There's no other way; it's for making a living."

The proprietress didn't say much, and then walked out.

In less than half an hour, Jiang Chuan heard the landlady's warm greeting.

"Hey young man, you're here too! Long time no see. Your friend is waiting for you inside."

Wu Zhen's carefree voice rang out, "My friend?"

"I must be the first one to arrive."

"No, it's that handsome guy in the private room."

After the proprietress finished speaking, Wu Zhen peeked into the private room as a symbolic gesture.

"Fuck!"

"Jiang Chuan, no way? You got here so fast?"

Wu Zhen was completely bewildered. He wasn't far from here, yet it had taken him so long to get here.

The proprietress also said that Jiang Chuan had arrived a while ago?
Good heavens, is that even human speed?
Jiang Chuan calmly lifted the teacup and took a sip.

"Um...it's alright, I only arrived half an hour earlier than you."

Emperor Wu was somewhat moved...

"Well, I thought I was the first one."

"By the way, I originally called Lao Niu, but Lao Niu told me that you gave him an order to stay at the institution and obey orders."

"So, I tried to persuade him for a long time, but he didn't come."

After Wu Zhen finished speaking, he still felt a little regretful.

"Jiang Chuan, you don't know, Lao Niu is actually quite pitiful. I heard he's quite strong, so how did he end up as your mount?"

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but chuckle at Wu Zhen's resentful expression.

That powerful figure named Tang Chun...

Is he still in seclusion for spiritual cultivation?

Jiang Chuan didn't know, but since Wu Zhen was right in front of him, he decided to ask about the mission.

"You said the organization issued a task, what task?"

Wu Zhen ordered a "Floating Snow" drink from the front desk, then went into the private room and immediately put his arm around Jiang Chuan's shoulder.

"Mr. Zhou said that after the demon realm passage was sealed, the Huashan Organization showed no abnormalities, so they specially gave us a few days off to rest."

"They say everyone's been on edge lately."

Jiang Chuan nodded. It seemed that the organization was quite understanding of these people.

No one can endure prolonged combat, especially one that involves the risk of death.

While the two were chatting, a clear voice rang out from the front desk.

"Hey, little beauty, it's been so long! You've become even more beautiful! You're growing more and more like a stunning beauty. Whoever marries you will be so lucky."

The proprietress used her usual tactics to make the two people in the private room eager to know who the newcomer was.

Are you in a private room?

The sound came from outside the door, followed by a knock.

Jiang Chuan recognized the voice immediately.

As soon as the door was pushed open, a gasp of surprise rang out.

"Jiang Chuan!"

Li Yi covered her mouth, then burst into laughter, "It's been so long since I've seen you!"

Jiang Chuan looked Li Yi up and down.

like……

It's been so long since I've seen you, and you've grown even more beautiful. You look a bit like a little doll now.

Moreover, her little face has become rounder and looks much better than before.

"Yeah, long time no see."

As Jiang Chuan spoke, he pulled up a stool for Li Yi to sit down.

"When did you arrive?" Li Yi tossed her hair and then asked.

"Just arrived, just arrived."

Jiang Chuan said with a smile, and then pulled up a chair for Li Yi to sit down.

"It's been so long since I've seen Jiang Chuan, he seems to have gotten even more handsome."

Li Yi smiled as she looked at Jiang Chuan, who was both familiar and unfamiliar to her, her expression somewhat dazed...

Wu Zhen saw through the unspoken message between the two, so he stood up and said, "I'm going to the restroom first. You two talk first?"

……

This means it shouldn't be too obvious, okay?

Is this clearly an attempt to bring them together?
"No need, you can just sit here. We're not dating."

Li Yi's poised and generous demeanor made Jiang Chuan feel like he didn't recognize her at all. Was this still the reserved and elegant young girl from before? She seemed to have become even more poised and graceful.

"That's right..."

Wu Zhen smiled ingratiatingly.

The three chatted for a while, and soon Zhong Huahua, Tang Songming, and others arrived.

"I'm telling you, we're really far from Qing City. If you hadn't called me, I'd probably be planning to go on a trip to relax right now."

Zhong Huahua ditched her usual institutional uniform and wore a mini-skirt and white T-shirt today, looking extremely sunny and cute.

"What, a trip? A trip with those strange beasts?"

Wu Zhen's sudden remark made everyone burst into laughter.

"Screw you. But it's rare for the organization to give us all a day off. What are our plans?"

Zhong Huahua asked in return, but the others all shook their heads.

Wu Zhen sent a message to everyone asking them to meet here, but he didn't say what they were going to do next...

"Let's drink until we're completely drunk tonight!"

Wu Zhen made the suggestion.

The crowd immediately cheered, "I think it's a good idea!"

"I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time. I'm always tense, and I feel like I can't take it anymore."

Li Yi also complained.

Tang Songming chimed in from the side, "No, no, a true man stands between heaven and earth..."

"Alright, alright, stop with your oracle bone script. It's exhausting talking to you all day!"

Wu Zhen interrupted Tang Songming directly, knowing that if Tang Songming continued reciting, it would probably take forever.

"Where should we go for drinks tonight? But just so you know, I didn't bring any alcohol this time!"

Li Yi smiled, but at this moment, Zhong Huahua also noticed the change in Li Yi.

"Wow, Li Yi, you've gotten even more beautiful lately!"

Li Yi pointed to herself, "Really? Haven't I always been like this?"

"No, no, you've become much prettier now."

"That was the old Li Yichou?"

Jiang Chuan said something that made the whole audience burst into laughter.

"No, that's not what we meant!"

"Haha, Jiang Chuan, you always manage to find something funny to say." Wu Zhen patted Jiang Chuan on the shoulder, his laughter revealing a touch of hearty generosity.

"Alright, stop messing around, where are we going to drink?" Zhong Huahua struck a bossy pose, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"Let me think, what do you think of the Cloud Pavilion Tavern that just opened next to the Lizhi Tea House?"

"I heard the bartenders there are top-notch, they can give us a change of pace."

Wu Zhen thought for a moment, then spoke, and his suggestion immediately aroused everyone's interest.

"Cloud Tavern? Never heard of it, but the name sounds quite romantic."

Li Yi's eyes lit up; she was clearly interested in the name of the bar.

“Alright, let’s go there! You’ve been traveling all day, and it’s almost evening now. After we finish our drinks, let’s go get some late-night snacks,” Jiang Chuan suggested.

"it is good!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Jiang Chuan went out to pay the bill, and the proprietress, seeing that the group had only been chatting for a while, asked, "Aren't you going to sit for a bit? Where are you going to go?"

"Let's have some drinks and a meal." Jiang Chuan felt a strange fondness for the proprietress. Although they hadn't known each other for long, there was an inexplicable feeling, a strange sense of closeness...

"Here, let's settle the bill."

Jiang Chuan didn't hesitate and directly scanned the code to pay.

"Alright, alright, seeing that you kids have it tough, Auntie won't take your money."

As the proprietress spoke, the QR code payment machine at the front desk beeped.

"Five thousand yuan has been received via WeChat."

Five thousand?

The proprietress was instantly dumbfounded.

"Child, what are you doing? Auntie can't accept so much money from you!"

The proprietress took her phone and was about to let Jiang Chuan scan the QR code.

"Okay, Auntie, it's alright. Just consider it as me topping up my card here. I'll come often in the future."

After Jiang Chuan finished speaking, he ignored the proprietress's advice and went straight out the door. As he left, you could still hear the proprietress sighing inside.

“Young people these days work so hard to earn money, and you gave me five thousand after just a few cups of tea? That won’t do…”

Jiang Chuan smiled slightly and walked into the crowd.

"Jiang Chuan, what are you doing? It's taking you so long to settle the bill. But we agreed that I'll pay for the bar later."

Wu Zhen, being very easygoing, took over the bar business directly.

"Then I think we should each get a bottle of Ace of Spades."

Jiang Chuan said.

Everyone burst into laughter. Wu Zhen scratched his head and said, "I think you're trying to make me drink up all my savings for my coffin."

"Hahaha……"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Given their current positions within the organization, they certainly won't have to worry about their salaries.

After all, they are doing work that serves the people, and might even cost them their lives. It would be unreasonable to pay them less.

The Ace of Spades is nothing compared to their current salaries.

It's rare to encounter such a brief period of peace...

Inside the Cloud-Top Tavern, the lights are dim and warm, and the music is melodious, creating a unique and relaxed atmosphere.

The arrival of Jiang Chuan and his group undoubtedly added a touch of liveliness and energy to this newly opened tavern.

On the wooden bar counter, bottles of various colors gleamed enticingly under the soft lighting, and the air was filled with a mixture of alcohol and fruit aromas.

"The Cloud Tavern lives up to its name. The decor and style are truly tasteful!" Wu Zhen commented with satisfaction as he looked around.

Li Yi stared curiously at the dazzling array of wines, blinking her eyes: "So many wines... I really don't know where to start."

"Let the professionals handle it."

Wu Zhen waved his hand and beckoned to the bartender, "Give us a few of our signature cocktails, the kind that will really impress people."

The bartender smiled and nodded, his fingers dancing nimbly among the various bottles and utensils. Before long, several cocktails of different colors and swirling smoke appeared before everyone, each one like a work of art, making it almost too beautiful to eat.

Wow, this is so beautiful!

Zhong Huahua was amazed and took out her phone to snap photos, afraid of missing any detail.

"Alright, the drinks are ready, now it's time to get the games started!"

Tang Songming put down his phone, a sly glint in his eyes. "How about we play Truth or Dare? Whoever loses not only has to drink a drink, but also answer a question or complete a challenge."

It's rare to see Tang, Song, and Ming speaking Mandarin; they've stopped being pretentious.

Everyone agreed, and as the first round of the game began, the atmosphere gradually heated up.

"Jiang Chuan, honestly, have you ever had a crush on any girl in the organization?" Wu Zhen asked with a mischievous smile, which drew a burst of laughter from those around him.

Jiang Chuan's face flushed slightly, but a calm smile remained on his lips: "If I said yes, would you believe me?"

"If I said no, would you believe me?"

"Haha, Jiang Chuan, you're such a smooth talker!" Wu Zhen laughed and scolded, and everyone laughed along, making the atmosphere even more lively. (End of Chapter)
