I'm really not an old sword

She didn't expect to be able to ask him out directly.

A look of loss appeared on Lita's face. Then she picked up her phone and said in a soft voice, "Can you tell me your phone number?"

"Sorry, not interested."

After Lin Qingsu finished speaking, she took Hua Ye Lingli's hand and left.

Francesca glanced at Rita who was stunned, and then glanced at Artluchi who was watching the fun from the side.

Her intuition told her that these two guys were not simple.

However, no matter how simple he was, he was not as terrifying as Lin Qingsu, the 'big devil'.

"Cherish what you have at the moment."

Considering that Rita was a follower who carried things like herself, Francesca passed by Rita and whispered a reminder, then quickly followed her.

"Master~wait for me~"

"Those three people are all magicians. They should be from a magic family." said Altluqi.

She could feel the active magical factors in the three people's bodies. Although her specific strength was unclear, it was obvious that all three of them were excellent.

However, it is only excellent.

Arteluqi reminded: "Don't be nosy, or just deal with it cleanly, don't cause me trouble now..."

Hearing this, Rita came back to her senses, looked down at her, and suddenly interrupted her and said, "I'm in love!"

"...?"

Altluchi's bewildered expression, as if to say, "Are you kidding me?", combined with her petite figure and childish face, made her look incredibly adorable.

"I'm in love!" Rita repeated.

"Okay, okay, I know you're in love." Artluqi curled her lips and said casually, "So? Do you want Brad to help you tie him up, and then you can pack up and take him home? My fees are very expensive during this special period."

"There's no need to talk to those rude men."

Lita shook her head and said seriously, "I want to pursue him openly!"

Altluqi blinked in confusion.

What did she hear?

Altluchi was silent for a while.

If any other girl said this, she would either give sincere advice or laugh at her, but when Rita said this...

She thought that Rita's brain was damaged by too much sun.

As expected, even a True Ancestor shouldn't always act during the day.

Since she had accompanied him all the way, Artluqi decided to care about her physical and mental health and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to follow him!"

So, do we still have to use force?

It’s okay, my brain is not broken.

"Find his address, move next door to him, and pursue him openly!"

Altluchi fell silent again.

"I remember there's an old saying from Dongfang Buzheng: 'With a good hoe, there's no corner you can't dig down!' Goodbye, Princess!"

Looking at Rita's back as she turned and left, Artluqi thought for a long time and prepared to let go.

After all, Rita could only be considered a 'partner', not her subordinate, so even if she was mentally ill, it had nothing to do with her.

Perhaps, we can prepare people to take over her assets and the magic eye collection train in advance.

Just as she was about to continue shopping alone, she suddenly remembered something, lowered her head, and saw the shopping bags scattered on the ground at her feet. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and a cross appeared on her forehead.

"Rita! Get the hell back here!"

Chapter 12: Shadows in the Kitchen

"I didn't expect you to be serious."

Sitting on the newly bought sofa by the window, watching Rita who was instructing the workers to move the newly bought furniture into the house, Artluchi held his forehead.

She actually bought a house across from the man's house.

Although the homeowner was reluctant at first, Rita could not stop him from using her "money power". After paying twice the original price of the house, the homeowner took the money and ran away happily without even moving the furniture.

"I've always been serious."

"I thought..."

"Ok?"

"never mind."

Altluqi was too tired to complain, she thought Rita didn't want to carry things for her.

After sending the movers away, Rita lazily sat on another sofa: "Come to think of it, why did you come to live with me?"

"It's boring to go there. Why not come and see how you pursue love? Let Brad and the others handle the things over there."

Artluqi lightly rested her chin on the bed.

Although she and Rita were just acquaintances, the one who really had a good relationship with Rita was Brad, who had similar interests as her.

However, since the two camps are not hostile to each other and have some common "goals", it is normal for them to hang out together.

"Life is indeed boring," Rita agreed.

"What are you going to do?"

"I just asked the neighbors nearby. He just moved here a while ago and has several women at home. As for their names and specific information..." Rita took a sip of red wine and shrugged. "The people in Birmingham are rather indifferent."

"Should we talk to Brad and the others?"

Rita gave Arteluci a look that said, "The cucumbers are getting cold because of you." Arteluci responded with a fierce look that said, "Do you have a problem with this princess?" Ultimately, Rita, who was in a lower position and had no say, turned her head away first.

"I've asked someone to check his information. Guess what?"

Artluqi rolled her eyes: "Do you think I'm idle?"

"Aren't you free?" Rita asked.

All human beings pursue immortality, but those who truly possess it know that immortality is a curse.

Sitting opposite was a woman who was well-known among the True Ancestors for feeling that "life was utterly boring."

And she, Eltluqi.

If the situation did not allow it, and if many enemies such as the White Winged Lord and other True Ancestors were eyeing her covetously, she would also like to fall into a deep sleep like her sister, because reality is really boring.

"My intuition was right." Rita stopped playing it safe and waved her phone. "He's very interesting."

"tell me the story."

"He was an orphan, adopted by a wealthy single woman. His life was ordinary. The only special thing was that he entered the Modern Department of the Clock Tower after growing up. It was said that he was personally recommended by the head of the Animusphia family."

"Marisbilly?" Altluchi's eyes flashed.

"Huh? You actually know a young man?"

"Zibiya is working with him." Altluchi rested her delicate chin lightly on the back of her hand. "I heard it's for the extinction of humanity or something. I'm not sure. The last time I saw him was decades ago."

Zibia Eltnam Oberon is the dean of the Atlas Academy, one of the three major organizations in the Magic Association.

At the same time, he was also the first president of the Atlas Academy and the thirteenth of the "Thirty-Seven Dead Apostles". Although it was said that he had not signed a subordinate contract with Altluci, everyone with a discerning eye knew that he was from Altluci's faction.

But unlike the 'loyal dogs' Rizzowall and Brad, he was busy all day doing things that the vampires couldn't understand.

His passion for ghost life is incomprehensible to many Dead Apostles.

The fourteenth ancestor, Van Phim, who loves making money, is busy in the human world every day and does not look like a vampire who is tired of life at all.

"He is indeed a bit weird, just like Feim."

"Go on."

"He is currently a student at the Clock Tower. His magic circuits are of the lowest quality and quantity, and he has always been known as the 'most useless'."

"..."

Lita slowly recounted the publicly available information about Lin Qingsu. Time was the least valuable thing to the True Ancestor. The minute and second hands ticked away. Turning to the last page of the document, Lita smiled and said, "The most interesting thing is, do you know his name?"

"Lin Qingsu."

"How did you guess that?!"

"Even after you've said it like this, I still can't guess? Do you think I'm a fool?"

Rita curled her lips in boredom and threw the document aside: "Boring, not cooperating at all."

"So, what are you going to do?" Artluci continued.

Although Lin Qingsu is her 'enemy', to be honest, Artluqi doesn't care.

He's just a human being who is on par with his subordinates.

He has great talent, but that's all. After all, he's just a young man under 20 years old.

There is no life-and-death mentality or competition for interests between the two sides.

Although she won't give up the scabbard, but...

Rita's side was obviously more interesting, and she didn't mind giving them some time if it was interesting enough.

"Don't you think it would be funny if, after we get to know him well, he suddenly realizes that we are his enemies?"

Altluqi thought for a moment, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "It's really interesting."

......

Dark clouds obscured the moon, and a dark shadow lightly fell from the roof onto the balcony.

Walking into the room and looking at the empty bedroom, the woman's eyes flashed with doubt. Her ears moved slightly and she heard the sound coming from next door. She walked out of the bedroom in a daze, crossed the long corridor, and came to the bedroom door opposite.

After a while, Lin Qingsu came out wrapped in a bathrobe, with a yawning golden fox sitting on her shoulder.

"Master, this is the information you requested."

The woman reached her right hand into the particularly deep ravine created by the tights and pulled out a cell phone in a flurry of movement.

Then she handed the phone to Lin Qingsu with both hands, looking respectful.

Lin Qingsu looked at the snow-white color, her mind full of questions, not knowing where to start. After thinking for a while, she silently took the phone.

"Thanks a lot."

Seeing Lin Qingsu lowering her head and fiddling with her cell phone, a hint of disappointment flashed in the woman's eyes.

Is it because I have no charm?

Or is the master in what men often call 'sage time'?

"This is what I should do."

Lin Qingsu opened her phone and saw only two folders on the clean screen.

Lin Qingsu watched while the woman whispered beside her.

"They both suddenly appeared in this city today."

"I found no record of them crossing the border, or taking any long-distance transportation."

"They were shopping all day today. After meeting you, they purposefully bought a room across from your residence at a high price."

"The tall woman used the name Anna Krenica, but it's most likely a pseudonym."

"It's worth mentioning that a strange little white beast would follow the girl from time to time."

"As for the rest... I'm sorry, Master. I'm incompetent and haven't found any other useful information. Please punish me, Master."

Lin Qingsu just turned to the bottom of the file.
