Hearing Tang Rao's words, Mo Xinyu puckered her lips, Jinxiu, this name, it's quite endearing.

"Is her name Jinxiu?" Mo Xinyu asked.

"Her family name is Fang." Tang Rao said, "You seem quite interested in her, huh?"

Mo Xinyu immediately waved her hand, "Not really, I just find her quite interesting. It seems like she isn't a robber. That old lady before, oh my god, she was really something. If it were me, I would have punched her right then and there."

"Hahaha, you're right about that, Fang Jinxiu is indeed amusing, but more precisely, she's eccentric. She's practically a nutcase, who knows if she had a serious head injury as a child or something." Tang Rao gossiped about Fang Jinxiu.

Well, since this eccentric woman isn't here, gossiping a bit won't hurt.

"From what you're telling me, I'm quite interested in meeting her now," said Mo Xinyu.

"There will be an opportunity," Tang Rao cleaned up his bowl and leaned back in his seat, looking quite satisfied.

If only everyday involved eating meals and chatting carefree with beauties, such a life is incredibly enviable.

...

Tang Rao stayed at the Sui City Branch for three days, and nothing happened during those days.

However, news from the Moon arrived stating that Dong Xia has secured the Bai Ze Soul Capture Pavilion Judge Candidate Envoy spot, and the Soul Capture Pavilion will send someone to review Bai Ze.

Of course, the review can't be done on the Moon as that would be admitting that Bai Ze is in cahoots with them.

But Tang Rao didn't plan to bring Bai Ze with him, letting him handle it himself was fine.

With Bai Ze's intelligence, handling such matters should be OK.

"Lao San, do you have time these next few days?" In the canteen, Er Qi came over and asked Tang Rao.

"Yes, what's up?" Tang Rao asked.

After spending three days together, Er Qi turned out to be a really decent person.

"There's a conference over at Tiandu, if you're free, you could come with me," Er Qi said.

Tang Rao's eyes lit up, the Tiandu Headquarters?

That sounds good, I need to see for myself what this Cultivator Defense Bureau that has replaced the Special Ninth Department looks like.

Tang Rao felt that if he showed his true self during those high-level meetings, it would certainly be an amusing affair.

"Sure, I'll go with you, I'm free anyway," Tang Rao nodded in agreement.

"Then it's settled," Er Qi laughed, "since people from various branches will be there. Cultivators, always eager to spar and such, you better be prepared."

"Fighting is what I love the most, I promise to only go easy and not cripple anyone," Tang Rao said.

"Hahaha, that's good!" Er Qi appeared to also be a combative person, which might explain why he exuded such a fierce aura.

The next morning, the Sui City Branch group was ready to go.

There were five of them: Er Qi, Tang Rao, Li Rui, aka Dr. Li. Mo Xinyu tagged along too, taking care of recording some conference matters, and the last one was Situ Jinli, representing as a patrol officer from the Sui City Cultivator Defense Bureau.

Er Qi was in a later phase of distraction and hadn't mastered the Space Rift, and Tang Rao didn't want to expose himself just yet.

So naturally, the group chose to fly.

By the time they reached Tiandu, it was already noon, with no delays, they went straight to the Tiandu Defense Bureau headquarters.

What left Tang Rao speechless was that the Tiandu Defense Bureau headquarters was built on the former site of the Special Ninth Department, a brand-new building, looking quite modern.

This really annoyed him, what are you doing, showing defiance to me?

Dissolving the Special Ninth Department without notifying me, forming the Cultivator Defense Bureau without my knowledge, and now building headquarters at the former site of the Special Ninth Department, this is too much.

If it weren't for my good temper, I could have blown this place to smithereens.

"Lao San, what are you dazing off for? Let's go in," Er Qi waved at Tang Rao from ahead.

"Okay!" Tang Rao responded, immediately stepped forward, and followed Er Qi into the headquarters of the Defense Bureau.

The headquarters of the Tiandu Cultivator Defense Bureau indeed looked much more imposing than the Sui City Branch, appearing very large, and the guards inside were also very strong, with ordinary guards all at least at the Nascent Soul Stage.

On Blue Star, reaching the Nascent Soul Stage was already quite an achievement, given that the development of cultivation was still relatively recent.

However, the Defense Bureau being a part of the global united organization, having so many talented cultivators wasn't really surprising. Among so many people, there were always some exceptionally gifted ones, born for cultivation.

Right after Tang Rao and his group registered, another group came in.

In total, six people, they seemed to be from another city's Defense Bureau branch.

"Haha, Brother Er Qi, you got here so fast, even faster than me," a middle-aged man greeted Er Qi with a laugh upon seeing him.

Er Qi nodded at the man: "We're further from Tiandu in Sui City, of course we had to come a bit earlier."

"That's true, diligence can make up for clumsiness," the middle-aged man said.

Tang Rao sensed some gunpowder in the air.

However, in response to the middle-aged man's provocation, Er Qi didn't reply; he just smiled faintly and then walked ahead.

The others quickly followed.

Tang Rao glanced at the middle-aged man, shrugged, and followed Er Qi.

"Lao San, those just now were from the Gu City branch. That middle-aged man is called Sun Tianfei, and we've always been at odds with them," Mo Xinyu whispered.

Tang Rao nodded, not saying much.

However, his instincts told him that Er Qi wasn't the type to endure quietly; he would definitely find an opportunity to strike back.

And for a combative man like Er Qi, the best way would be to knock down Sun Tianfei.

Sun Tianfei was also at the late stage of Divided Spirit, comparable in strength to Er Qi.

If it really came to a fight, it was hard to say who would win.

The arrangements at the Tiandu headquarters were well managed; five people were given five rooms. Although not as luxurious as a two-bedroom suite, the rooms had everything necessary, equipped like a five-star hotel, and were quite comfortable.

In the evening, someone knocked on Tang Rao's room door.

"Lao San, time to go to the banquet," Mo Xinyu called from outside.

In the room, Tang Rao rolled off the bed and walked over to open the door.

Outside, Mo Xinyu was dressed strikingly beautifully, her gown complementing her well and accentuating her figure perfectly.

A little bit of her cleavage showed, just enough to be teasing and inciting a desire to explore.

All in all: perfect.

As for Tang Rao, shorts, a T-shirt, and the room's disposable slippers.

"Eh, you're going out like that?" Mo Xinyu asked Tang Rao.

"The heating here is strong, isn't it? It's not cold like this," Tang Rao said.

"It's not cold, but..."

"Then I'll change!" Tang Rao said, ran back to his room, and then dashed back seconds later.

Still in shorts and a T-shirt, the only difference was, instead of the hotel's disposable slippers, he was now wearing his flip-flops, giving off a vibe that he was all set to show off.

"Yep, flip-flops suit me better; I feel much more handsome," Tang Rao grinned.

Mo Xinyu: "…"
