Tang Li quickly read the content of their discussion.
The most discussed topic was last night. Several people said that this rain was strange and wondered if they should reschedule their meeting.
Of course, they were asking for Tang Liâs opinion.
There was someone who tagged her in the morning, asking if she could go to the meeting today.
Tang Li was too lazy to type and sent a voice message. âI can come.â
As soon as she sent this voice message, the entire group instantly exploded.
And everyone was sending voice messages.
âMaster Tang, youâre finally reading our messages.â
âMaster Tang, we planned to go straight to the place mentioned above, but weâll be gone for a day and a half. Do you have any objections?â
âMiss Tang, if you want to go back tonight, the higher-ups will send a car to take you back.â
âMiss Tang, I recommend you not go back tonight. It will be too much of a hassle going back and forth.â
âWe have actions tonight too. How can Miss Tang leave?â
â¦
It seemed like the discussion wouldnât end for a while. Tang Li thought to herself, âIâm not gonna live outside. I wonât be able to fall asleep without my husband as my pillow.â
After they finished discussing, Tang Li added, âI want to stay at home. Donât try to persuade me.â
....
The group suddenly went quiet.
However, the Mystic Society hall became full of noise.
âUm⦠donât you think Master Tang is a bit too willful?â
âIt doesnât matter if sheâs willful or not as long as she is capable. Why donât we try to persuade her more?â
âDidnât she say that if we try to persuade her again, sheâll quit the mission.â
âDonât worry. There will also be people from the high-up. Without completing the mission, she wonât be allowed to leave.â
âThat makes sense. Anyway, itâs obvious that she has never taken on such a big mission.â
âHaha⦠Thatâs right.â
After discussing, they agreed to Tang Li.
When Tang Li received their voice message, she walked out with her phone in satisfaction.
As soon as she reached the door, she saw Qi Yihan walking over.
Tang Li walked over and held his arm. âAre we going to eat breakfast?â
âMm.â Qi Yihan tilted his head to look at her and asked, âWhen are you leaving?â
âAfter breakfast.â
âBring Qiqi and Linlin with you.â
Tang Li thought for a moment and nodded. âLet them return to the jade. Itâs more convenient that way.â
âAlright.â Qi Yihan asked again, âHow long do you need? If youâre late, Iâll pick you up.â
âItâll take a day and a half, but I said Iâll come back tonight. Iâll use a teleportation talisman to come back then.â
âYeah.â
When the two of them walked out, breakfast was already on the dining table.
Qiqi and Linlin sat there waiting for them.
After breakfast, Tang Li left with Qiqi and Linlin.
After the car drove out of the Qi Mansion, Tang Li let Qiqi and Linlin return to the jade.
The higher-ups had given her an address a few days ago, so she drove straight to the address.
It was in the north, outside the Imperial Capital.
When she arrived, there was already a group of people waiting for her.
There were a total of six masters and three familiar leaders.
Beside them was the military base.
However, they did not enter. Instead, they gathered outside the door. There was a bus and armed car parked beside them.
Tang Li opened the umbrella and got out of the car. Immediately, she was surrounded by a bunch of people.
Among them were Mr. Zuo, Mr. Liang, and Mr. Fang. Behind them was a group of people who looked casually dressed but had the aura of masters.
âMiss Tang, youâre here.â
Tang Li nodded at them and looked at the people behind them.
One of the middle-aged men, who was in his forties, stepped forth and introduced himself. âMaster Tang, hello. My name is Xuan He, the president of the Mystic Society. Iâve heard a lot about you. Seeing you today, I can tell that you are indeed an extraordinary person.â
Tang Li smiled. Standing among a group of middle-aged men, she looked like a flamboyant rose. Those who did not know her ability would definitely think that she was out on an excursion.
Then, the other masters introduced themselves.
It was Xu Guanhai, Yu Zhitang, Zhao Guangyi, Zhou Hongtai, and Wu Guangbo.
After they were done introducing themselves, Mr. Fang said, âEveryone, get in the car first. We can talk in the car. This will save us time.â
No one had any objections. Then, the group of people got on the bus.
The few armed cars in front opened the way, followed by several armed cars.
After the bus started, Mr. Fang told everyone what they needed to do.
âWe invited all the masters here this time because weâre planning to build a large arsenal in Long County, 100 kilometers north of Imperial Capital. However, that place was an important defense point decades ago, and many martyrs were sacrificed there. We were planning to move all their tombs to the Imperial Capitalâs Cemetery of Martyrs, but as long as we move that place, something bad will happen. We tried many ways to move it, but we didnât succeed, so we asked all the masters to take a look.â
âHowever, there is one very important thing to take note of. This is a scientific society. Anything that is unexplainable by science needs to be kept secret. Even if you need to cast spells, you can only do it at night when no one is around.â
Everyone was already prepared for this. Xuan He said, âSir, donât worry. We know about this. We will definitely keep a tight mouth about what happened over there.â
The others agreed and looked at Tang Li.
Tang Li said, âIâve always been a good secret keeper.â
The three leaders were relieved.
Then, they told them about the situation over there.
The rain outside the car did not show any signs of abating. Even when they arrived at Long County, it was still pouring.
âI didnât expect a typhoon to suddenly come. The weather station didnât detect it before.â
âIt must be fate.â
After everyone got out of the car, they started talking at once.
Long County was a medium-sized county. This place was close to the Imperial Capital. Coupled with the fact that this place was expropriated a few years ago, most of the young people had gone to the Imperial Capital. The ones left were all from the older generation.
The bus did not enter the county, but a few armed cars did.
The bus drove along the edge of the county for another ten minutes before stopping outside a relatively large farmhouse.
The host and hostess of the farmhouse were already waiting for them there. The moment the car door opened, the two of them quickly came over. They held an umbrella in one hand and saluted the three gentlemen with the other. They looked like retired soldiers.
âLeaders and guests, please come in.â
When the host brought them in, he said, âAfter receiving the notice from the higher-ups, the farmhouse has stopped operating. Donât worry, we wonât let out the news that you have been here.â
