Xingtie: My mission master joins the chat group.

Things didn't go as Saifeier had imagined.

Lin Mao hid the stolen goods on it, but not in the ceiling of the room.

Instead.

On the head of the Black Tower Lady.

Looking at the filth floating above, it would drift in the same direction as the Black Tower.

The Black Tower fell completely silent.

Sai Fei'er was speechless at the action, and a sense of crisis welled up in her heart.

This is a feeling that comes from instinct.

It felt as if staying here would be dangerous.

"Haha, now that the item has been found, there's nothing more for me to do here, right? I just remembered I made an appointment with Bartrus to go treasure hunting. See you again sometime!"

"Damn! How come I didn't see something so obvious?"

Sai Fei'er left without looking back, wondering to herself why she couldn't see what was on the Black Tower's head.

Black Tower clenched his fist, then relaxed it after a few seconds. "Do I need to look up to see...?"

This made Black Tower feel a little better.

He also understood why he hadn't noticed Sai Fei'er had been by his side all along.

It was not something Lin Mao did intentionally.

But she can't see it either.

Even with the most sensitive nose, a cat couldn't possibly distinguish the scent of this thing next to the Black Tower.

After all, the Black Tower is full of treasures.

If this hadn't been discovered, would Saifei have had a chance to leave?

It's impossible, okay.

Now that it's confirmed she's also involved, let's just wait and see what happens to Kefaller.

Even so, it's still uncertain whether anyone happened to look up and see the top of her head on the way here...

"Sigh!" Black Tower sighed, feeling utterly helpless against Lin Mao, who was neither Estád nor his student.

The two also had no project-related dealings.

The Black Tower had absolutely no way to control Lin Mao in the same way it controlled Estella.

As for Naonfaros restraining Lin Mao, it can only be said that her pride as a genius and her human conscience prevented her from doing such a thing.

She has a clear self-awareness; she knows she is a human being.

It's not like Lin Mao.

He's a beast.

To spare his straight legs from the cold wind, Onpharos Black Tower could no longer stand it, so he said goodbye to Xia Die in the group chat and left.

Preparations are underway for the final energy installation.

the other side.

Pinoconi.

Lin Mao chuckled, even though they were separated by an unknown distance, he could still feel the space he had left behind being broken.

Clearly, the Black Tower has found what it lost.

How careless of you to lose something like that!

We still need his help to find it.

Black Tower: "Don't you want to hear what you're saying?"

"Master, what are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at Black Tower's lack of intelligence!"

Lin Mao casually remarked, then looked up at the disheveled man who had just returned from shopping, "Why did you call me over here?"

He was just in Onfaros, and he originally wanted to hang out with the Black Tower, but Luanpo suddenly contacted him.

Therefore, Lin Mao could only let Black Tower play by himself.

Luanpo presented the things he had bought with both hands, saying, "Master must be thirsty, right? Have some water first!"

He then explained why he contacted Lin Mao.

"To express my gratitude for your guidance, Master, I would like to invite you to Origami University's anniversary celebration so that you can see how my cultivation of the Taixu Ninja Technique is progressing."

Taixu·Ninpo?

Is it the Tai Xu Sword Qi?

Lin Mao stroked his chin. "It's possible."

Anyway, there's nothing much going on right now.

but.

"Does Origami University's anniversary celebration have any projects that require the Void Sword Qi?"

Using the Taixu Sword Qi to spin a disc?

If I remember correctly, Origami University's anniversary celebration was actually a concert.

"Master, you are unaware of this!" Ranpo explained, "Bat Ninja felt that simply performing music was a bit boring, so he proposed holding a Ninja Tournament to gather ninjas from all over Pinocchio to duel and determine the ultimate Ninja King!"

Ninja Tournament? King of Ninjas?

Lin Mao almost didn't react.

This probably means that Xing is planning to gather a group of people to fight and see who has the hardest fist in Pinocchio.

"The board of directors of Origami University agrees?"

Lin Mao asked.

His face looked strange.

Is it appropriate to hold a martial arts competition in a place where students are studying, showcasing the most violent side of the human body?

“At first, they disagreed.” Ranpo nodded and continued, “But Bat Ninja seemed to have mentioned your name, Master, and those people changed their minds and said they would ask the whole school for their opinions. In the end, they voted and decided—the first Pinocchio Ninja Tournament will be held!”

Lin Mao's face darkened. Using his own name?

He immediately questioned Xing in the group chat.

The result was naturally denial; Xing pretended to be stupid and stubbornly denied that the incident had occurred.

Ranpo sought out Lin Mao just as the Ninja Tournament was about to begin.

Lin Mao didn't say much to Xing before being pulled by Luan Po and running towards Origami University.

Upon entering Origami University, Lin Mao was immediately surrounded by a group of chubby people, dressed in suits and ties, their faces plastered with fawning smiles.

Most people would probably feel pleased, since not having so many people surrounding them implies a high status and that these people have to be mindful of their behavior.

But Lin Mao felt uncomfortable all over.

Of course, it's not because he only likes to be around pretty girls... well, there's a tiny bit of that.

Of course! Not really!

More than anything, Lin Mao was not used to this way of interacting.

Ranpo went to prepare for the competition, leaving Lin Mao alone here to deal with these origami university board members.

He was led around the Origami University, where people kept introducing the university, from the difficulties they encountered when it was first established, to the most difficult time in the middle, and how they overcame the difficulties to achieve their current success.

Lin Mao almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Do these people seem to use a template when introducing things?

I feel like I've heard these words somewhere before.

"Mr. Lin Mao?"

"The robin!"

Lin Mao, whose eyes were vacant, turned his head when he heard a familiar voice, and sure enough, it was the robin standing not far away.

I felt a little embarrassed holding an ice cream cone.

Standing beside him was the intelligent machine he had seen before, the one that followed behind Lao Yang.

It was undoubtedly Sunday.

"Excuse me, my friend is here. Let's chat again next time."

Lin Mao made up an excuse and crossed the 'wall' next to him to get to the robin.

Amidst the robin's exclamation, he placed his hands on her smooth back and pushed her further away until she disappeared from their sight.

"Phew! Finally free!"

The robin's pretty face flushed slightly as it stuck out its tongue to lick the ice cream cone, trying to cool itself down.

"What are you doing here, Mr. Lin Mao?"

She had just happened to be talking about Lin Mao with her new best friend, who actually thought she and Lin Mao were in a relationship, which made her have to explain herself for a long time.

It just doesn't work very well.

On Sunday, her eyes were indifferent, and she appeared shy while explaining, which was exactly the behavior of a young girl whose secret had been exposed.

He'd be a fool to believe that.
