Keyes Again

"Hello, duty team. Please open the door to cooperate," Lv's Father heard the words of the person outside the door clearly, with only a door between them.

He quietly opened the monitor above the fingerprint lock, and the small screen contained the scene at the door. A beautiful woman with a ponytail, dressed in a duty team uniform, stood at the door.

Confirming that the person outside was not a monster, Lv's Father opened the door. The honest face was full of silly smiles. "Hello, hello!"

"Excuse me for bothering. Here is my ID. I'm looking for Lv Cheng to assist with some matters."

"Oh, good, good!" Lv's Father nodded busily and turned to yell towards the door, "You brat, what bad things have you done again? Come out!"

"I didn't do anything."

Lv Cheng's voice came before his person. Shortly after, with messy hair and wearing a vest and long pants, he came out from the room.

After looking him up and down, observing that Lv Cheng's mental state was still relatively stable, Xue Shiyun hooked out a professional smile. "Young student, how about coming to the Superpower Duty Bureau for a chat?"

"This ‘chat’ you mentioned, is it serious?"

I think this guy's mental state is too good...

Xue Shiyun didn't have much desire to flirt with a non-handsome youth, moreover since she was working. If not for this matter being too serious, in order to prevent it from spreading out and causing panic, she wouldn't have come personally either.

Before Xue Shiyun could give her opinion, Lv's Father couldn't hold it in. "Hey, I think you're asking for a beating. Comrade officer, don't mind his foul mouth."

"It’s fine. Let's go."

She sensed that Lv Cheng seemed to treat her as an acquaintance, which was why he joked. But Xue Shiyun couldn't remember who he was at all. Did they meet at a banquet? Or encountered each other during some previous case?

Xue Shiyun opened the car door. Lv Cheng directly crawled in.

She confirmed again that even with maxed out intimate skills, this brat must have recognised her to some extent.

In the passenger seat, Lv Cheng hugged a pillow and sat improperly, shaking his legs. "Why are you looking for me? Does the old man have other things to do?"

"Who is the old man?"

Xue Shiyun held the steering wheel, calmly responding to Lv Cheng's words.

"Isn't the old man... You don't recognize me?"

Would the old man forget to mention it? He still had the nerve to complain about others when he was so unreliable...

Wait, then why did Miss Xue come to find him?

Lv Cheng was shocked straight. He sat up properly.

"From your tone, it seems we should know each other?"

"Uh..."

He had jokingly greeted the other party earlier, and Lv Cheng felt like a clown. But his social skills weren’t fake. He quickly adjusted his mentality and briefly recounted the story.

After listening, Xue Shiyun remembered that there was indeed such a thing. "So you're the disciple Uncle Chen mentioned. He told me not to bother with you, and that if I ever needed help, you would come to find me yourself."

That was her embellished version. The original words were "He would shamelessly come to you for even a small favor. Don't give him any face."

Xue Shiyun didn't get much intel on Lv Cheng. It was basically all Uncle Chen complaining about his disciple.

Therefore, she would be quite polite to an unfamiliar person.

Things were different for Lv Cheng. He had obtained a lot of inside information about Xue Shiyun from the old man, clearly aware of Xue Shiyun’s true colors. That was why he dared to crack that joke earlier.

"Sister Shiyun, you look completely different from the old man's description. Could he be screwing with me?"

Xue Shiyun glanced at him. With such a good relationship, even those things were said by Uncle Chen?

Was he afraid of Lv Cheng shooting his mouth, or afraid she would take action against Lv Cheng? That would be too insulting to her taste.

"Work and private matters are of course separated. Now is not the time to catch up. Regarding the human bones up the back mountain, do you know anything else about it?"

Lv Cheng was stunned for a moment, not expecting that to be the topic.

"How do you know I went up the back mountain and discovered the human bones?"

Since Uncle Chen had talked about her matters, Xue Shiyun saw no need to beat around the bush either.

She slowly opened her lazy voice. "When you tried to scam someone yesterday, were you not aware in your heart?"

Lv Cheng reacted swiftly, immediately linking it to Tu Yuan.

"Damn, does he know everything?"

"He saw right through your petty schemes. He notified me that very day."

After speaking, Xue Shiyun realized something. She frowned, "I wonder why he didn't inform Team Leader Pang instead. His team is closer with the first squad in charge of that area at the back mountain. So it turns out you and I have this connection."

Xue Shiyun's analysis left Lv Cheng tongue-tied and incredulous. "What's Tu Yuan's background?"

"Tu Yuan? The name he gave you is fake. His real name is Qi Yuan, a scion of the prominent Qi family."

"What does the Qi family do?"

"Can't investigate. As you know, some hidden families are very difficult to investigate."

The Qi family's accounts were watertight. Oddly, his classmates' accounts were consistent—that his family conditions were very good. Just the luxury cars sent to pick him up were of various high-end brands.

Information could be erased, but memories couldn't.

With the Qi family's extensive connections, their background was formidable. Thus, the Xue family internally approved the decision to suspend investigation for the time being.

Lv Cheng slumped against the seat back, beyond help. "Then am I still salvageable since I offended him?"

"Since he handed you to me, it means he has spared you. Otherwise, you would probably have disappeared last night."

"Cheh, so many twists and turns with you hidden family types."

"Weren't you very clever when scamming others? Why didn't you consider this angle?"

"I #&@%......"

...

"Yes, taking leave today."

On the other end of the call came the homeroom teacher's voice. Qi Yuan held up his phone as he walked out of the community.

"Thanks Teacher."

He ended the call and sighed.

Team Leader Xue said she had gotten the qualifications to enroll in Shen City University. The special admissions office was sending people today, but she was too busy to make it. She asked Lv Cheng to bring the person to meet them instead.

So why was it Lv Cheng?

Qi Yuan felt extremely depressed. He had cleaned up monsters twice, yet no one had invited him to join any organization.

Not only did Lv Cheng have some confidential mission going on, he even got connections with the Superpower Duty Bureau.

Logically, shouldn't there be some old man shouting "A prodigy bestowed by the heavens!" before crying and begging to take him as a disciple?

If not, it was also common nowadays to join official organizations for the perks and connections.

But it was as if he had been forgotten by the world. There wasn't even anyone trying to bully him by forcing him to join as a lackey, banking on power and authority.

It was fine if just ordinary folks. However imaginative, the influential, upon checking, would still find he had no background.

Could it be because his level was too high, they were afraid he would make exorbitant demands, hence they didn't even bother?

Qi Yuan recalled how the history teacher once said that before the arrival of superpowers, some companies preferred undergraduates and didn't want masters graduates. That was because their positions couldn't meet what the masters graduates wanted.

Rather than let them intern for a day, then quit, wasting manpower and resources, they might as well filter them out from the start.

He looked profoundly at Lv Cheng jogging over to him with an ingratiating smile. Qi Yuan couldn't help but sigh, fools have foolish blessings.

Returning from Cultivation to the City, Bad News: My Cultivation Is Gone

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
