One person: A fusion of Kizaru, the king of the trash-talking gang.

The next day, noon.

As the faint sound of cars came from outside the window, the leisurely sunlight illuminated the tightly drawn curtains, and Jiang Bailan, who had woken up naturally, slowly opened her sleepy eyes.

Looking at the three snow-white bodies reflected in the dim light, Jiang Bailan smacked his lips, recalling the passion and madness of last night, and remarked that foreign wild horses were indeed different, with taming them being extremely difficult.

It took him a full six hours to steed the three spirited horses.

He also marveled at how masterful he had become in using Armament Haki and Iron Body techniques.

Even if he were to travel to the world of One Piece now, he would be confident enough to block "Teacher Guy's" attacks. It's just a little Thunder Bagua!

Deal with him!

Deep down, he thought to himself that Xu Si had finally done something decent this time.

However, Jiang Bailan had no intention of charging into battle again. While a spirited horse is good, one must remember not to overindulge.

After patting his bottom, Jiang Bailan took a shower and changed back into his two-piece outfit that cost 100 yuan. He then prepared to buy plane tickets according to his previous plan and embark on a spontaneous trip.

After booking her afternoon flight, Jiang Bailan returned to her rented apartment and prepared to rest before heading to the airport. Just then, she received a call from Feng Shayan, whose message was as simple and unpretentious as ever, inviting her to dinner.

-

Ten minutes later, they got into each other's G-Wagons and arrived at the familiar restaurant once again.

Watching Jiang Bailan gobbling down her food like a glutton, Feng Shayan asked, "Jiang Bailan, what are you planning to do next?"

Hearing the question, Jiang Bailan stopped what she was doing, wiped her mouth, and replied, "Going on a trip."

"Where are you going on vacation, and how long will you stay?"

"Yanzi, why do you sound like you're checking someone's household registration?" Hearing the question, Jiang Bailan didn't hide anything and continued, "The timeframe is uncertain. It could be a week, or it could be several years, or even longer..."

To be precise, for Jiang Bailan, who possesses the Glint-Glint Fruit, physical distance no longer holds any constraint.

If he wanted, he could easily check into a hotel in Dali that night, have breakfast in Mohe in the morning, visit Xiao Rizi's family in the morning, and then have lunch back in Tianjin...

Hearing Jiang Bailan's words, Feng Shayan fell silent. After a long silence, she finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "You really are free... Jiang Bailan, will you ever come back?"

The question, though seemingly ordinary, sounded strangely familiar coming from Feng Shayan's mouth, giving Jiang Bailan a peculiar sense of déjà vu.

It's as if he's sitting in a taxi right now, with Feng Shayan chasing after him, running and shouting, "Jiang Bailan, will you ever come back?"

Wouldn't that make him a "swallow"?

If Jiang Bailan becomes "Yanzi", then who is the sand swallow in front of us?

Chaos!

It's all chaos!

-

three days later.

While Jiang Bailan was traveling around, the temporary workers who had arrived in the South China region had already begun their investigation of Chen Duo.

[From North China... Are you sure Granny Jin Feng is from the Quanxing sect? Or is she from the Quanxing sect 40 years ago?]

Running towards Granny Jin Feng's secluded dwelling, Wang Zhenqiu, with his long golden hair flowing down his shoulders and a beauty mark at the corner of his eye, asked in the chat group.

[That's right! I just had my colleague in North China check, there's absolutely no mistake...]

Following closely behind the two, Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao leaped between the treetops, replying to each other's messages.

Why would Chen Duo, a defector temporary worker, be looking for members of the Quanxing organization from 40 years ago? Could this whole affair be orchestrated by the Quanxing?

Quanxing: Don't talk nonsense! It wasn't me! I didn't!

Quanxing said, "How powerful must I be? I can attack the Celestial Master's Mansion, wipe out the entire Wang family, and still find time to incite temporary workers to defect from the company. You guys think too highly of me."

Even if you're going to pin the blame on someone, this isn't how you do it!

[It wasn't Quanxing; it was Chen Duo's own choice...]

[You're from Northeast China, how can you be so sure?]

Wang Zhenqiu was clearly surprised by Gao Erzhuang's sudden outburst. Did the other party know Chen Duo or know some unknown inside information?

Er Zhuang certainly didn't know Chen Duo, but he happened to have some knowledge of this Gu-body Saint Child when he was monitoring Jiang Bailan's life.

[Watch out, there's an ambush ahead!]

Just after Zhang Chulan finished giving a warning in the group chat, Xiao Zizai and Wang Zhenqiu, who were at the forefront, were attacked. A large number of blue and purple Qi bullets, like machine guns, were fired at the two of them along the main road.

Sure... People from North China noticed it from such a distance behind them.

Just as Wang Zhenqiu was marveling at Zhang Chulan's keen observation skills, Xiao Zizai, who had previously been furious about killing a mouse, put away his phone and could no longer suppress the urge to eat...

He raised his right hand horizontally and unleashed a "Great Compassion Hand" strike at the charging enemy.

In an instant, the wind and clouds surged, and a violent storm, carrying surging waves of smoke, rushed forward, tearing a long trench in the ground.

Then, with another move, "Golden Bell Cover" and "Finger of Flowers," he took down the masked trio who rushed at him.

Unfortunately, none of these people met Xiao Zizai's criteria for killing, so he couldn't have a "feast".

"Not bad, Brother Xiao... You're efficient."

Xiao Zizai ignored Wang Zhenqiu's assessment, turning his gaze instead to the woman not far away. In his mind, this was someone he could kill...

"Such powerful force, such fast speed..."

Perched atop a tree, Zhang Chulan gazed down, gaining a new understanding of Xiao Zizai, whom he had met once before.

"Ball, stay away from me later..."

With reddened eyes, Xiao Zizai thrust out his palms, and one after another, palms formed from condensed Qi struck the ground, causing a series of explosions.

Within the smoke of the explosion, two purple Qi blades pierced through the air and attacked.

But clearly, Xiao Zizai underestimated the woman in front of him. When his fingertips touched her, a light blue barrier blocked his attack.

"Magical weapon?"

"It seems this mission is not as simple as we thought."

Just as Xiao Zizai was about to exert his full strength, Wang Zhenqiu, who was standing to the side, squinted and stepped forward, indicating that he should take over the guy.

"Love Massage!"

With just one move, Wang Zhenqiu not only destroyed the opponent's magic weapon, but also made the opponent feel like they were dying of pleasure.

"Stop hitting him, he's so pitiful..."

"Who are you?"

Faced with the man who suddenly appeared, Wang Zhenqiu stopped what he was doing and asked curiously.

"I'm from the Northwest... You can just call me Lao Meng..."

After briefly introducing himself, Lao Meng explained why he had come out, hoping everyone would let Chen Duo go...

"You mean, we should abandon this mission?" Xiao Zizai said coldly.

"No, Brother Xiao, what I mean is to spare Chen Duo's life. Bring her back alive, and the head office will naturally handle her affairs."

Although Lao Meng didn't know why Chen Duo used Gu poison to turn Liao Zhong into that state, he firmly believed that it must all be a misunderstanding. As long as Chen Duo was brought back, the mystery would definitely be solved.

"What...is your relationship?"

"We're not related, I'm just the one who brought her out of the Medicine Fairy Gathering..."

Upon hearing the words "Medicine Immortal Society," the people present all showed expressions of surprise, clearly knowing what kind of place it was.

Immediately, Lao Meng recounted the entire history of the Medicine Immortal Society, how they used living people to cultivate Gu-body Saint Children, and how unfortunate Chen Duo was.

In short, the Medicine Immortal Society is a cult that will stop at nothing to obtain Gu poison. They feed infants with Gu poison and select the survivors to raise as Gu children.

These Gu children have no childhood, no life, and no education as human beings. They are trained like zombies all day long until the one who survives in the end becomes the Gu body saint child.

Rather than saying that the Gu-bodied Saint Children are human, it would be more accurate to say that they are Gu.

Old Meng grew increasingly sorrowful as he spoke, his voice trembling with tears as he addressed the crowd: "If the others in the Medicine Immortal Society deserved to die, then Chen Duo was innocent. She wasn't even a complete person!!"

After listening to Lao Meng's story and learning about Chen Duo's past, everyone remained silent, except for the mischievous guy who liked to have fun, who tagged Er Zhuang in the group chat.

[From Northeast China...aren't you going to say anything?]

With Wang Zhenqiu's reminder, Xiao Zizai and the others recalled what the other party had said earlier.

I don't know Chen Duo personally, but someone I know does, and he even tried to help her once...

【who? 】

Hearing what the Northeasterner said, Wang Zhenqiu became even more interested. Gossiping and having fun was his favorite thing, so he quickly asked more questions.

Then I saw a message pop up in the chat group.

[Zhang Chulan, you know this person too...]

Zhang Chulan: "???"

A towering figure quickly appeared in Zhang Chulan's mind.

Godfather?

The moment the message was sent, Zhang Chulan immediately withdrew it.

[Jiang Bailan?]

Although Zhang Chulan withdrew the message quickly, the words "godfather" were still seen by everyone, and they all looked at their phones with teasing smiles.

Young people really know how to have fun!

[That's Jiang Bailan. He came to Guangzhou for tourism before. (GIF of Zhang Chulan shouting "Godfather!" and sliding to his knees before Jiang Bailan)]

Erzhuang not only confirmed that the person was Jiang Bailan, but also posted a simple GIF of Chu Lan kneeling and calling the other party his godfather.

Zhang Chulan: "..."

Is it really Brother Lan? Then isn't this a huge disaster?

After thinking about it, Zhang Chulan wasn't sure if what the other party said was true, but since it involved Jiang Bailan, he felt it was necessary to call and confirm.

She hasn't greeted her dear godfather yet today!

Just as he was about to make the call, a message popped up in the group chat.

[Zhang Chulan, I advise you not to call Jiang Bailan...]
