Chapter 498 Something Odd, Get Out

"Um?"

Qin Zhe turned his head in doubt, and then his expression became strange.

The person who called him could not be regarded as his acquaintance, but he could barely be regarded as having contact with him.

The person in charge of Qianlong Project, Lu Chuan.

After meeting once, the two have almost never interacted again.

Now meeting him on the side of the street really surprised Qin Zhe.

Seeing that Lu Chuan recognized him and walked over with two fritters in his hands, Qin Zhe frowned slightly and smiled.

"Mr. Lu, I didn't expect to meet you here, how are you doing recently?"

Greeting a relatively friendly greeting from someone, Lu Chuan said happily.

"Forget it, I'm semi-unemployed now."

"unemployment?"

Qin Zhe tilted his head.

"The Hidden Dragon Project is aimed at the existence of the secret realm of the abyss. Now that the abyss has disappeared, as the person in charge of the Qianlong Project, I have completely lost my direction. Isn't it considered unemployment?"

Lu Chuan said, as if complaining.

"The higher-ups are already considering reducing the personnel expenses of the Qianlong Project. The people under my command are all looking for other jobs now. It won't be long before I have to become a bare-bones commander."

"It sounds like Mr. Lu has had a hard time recently?"

Qin Zhe said something perfunctorily, not taking his words seriously.

The abyss has indeed disappeared.

The abyss coordinates given to him by Shangguan Yan at the beginning have lost their effectiveness.

But fundamentally speaking, the abyss just broke the connection with the present world, it didn't really disappear, and it might pop up again at some point.

Even if some high-level people in Longguo are eager for utilitarianism, they cannot be stupid enough to stop Qianlong Project.

In addition, the abyss is related to the aura tide, and Shu Wenhan must have informed some high-level people about this matter.

If the abyss reappears, it means that the next aura tide may come at any time.

Simply considering this factor, it is impossible for Qianlong Project to be stopped.

"It's not easy for me recently?"

Lu Chuan sighed in secret, then suddenly changed his mind and looked at Shu Wenhan's courtyard.

"You didn't stay in Haicheng and came to the capital to find Senior Shu?"

"Well, I have something to ask Senior Shu."

Qin Zhe nodded.

They were all blocked at the door of Shu Wenhan's house, and it would be deceitful for him to deny it.

Seeing that Qin Zhe did not deny that he came to find Shu Wenhan, Lu Chuan asked with a smile.

"I don't know why you are looking for Senior Shu?"

"It's just a private matter, it has nothing to do with Mr. Lu."

Qin Zhe responded indifferently, turned and walked away.

He just stayed here to deal with Lu Chuan on the principle of not hitting the smiling face with his hand. How could he show a good face when the latter kicked his nose up and knocked at the side of his face?

It is worth mentioning that Lu Chuan's current cultivation is still at the sixth level.

When the two met for the first time, Qin Zhexiu was still low and even gave face.

A sixth-rank standing in front of him playing tricks on himself, does he have to save face?

Seeing Qin Zhe turn around and leave, Lu Chuan followed with a sullen face.

"Oh! Qin Zhe, wait!"

Qin Zhe didn't know what Lu Chuan wanted to pester him for, nor was he interested in knowing.

Seeing Lu Chuan following, he moved his feet, and the imperial emissary quietly left behind shadow steps.

Although Qin Zhe's shadow step is not as perfect as Yao Jing, who has practiced the succubus branch since childhood, it can already be called superb with the support of the seventh-level tyrannical cultivation base.

The afterimage he leaves now is not as simple as simply having the same aura as him.

The afterimage not only lasts for a long time, but also continues the action he was doing when the afterimage was left.

Lu Chuan closely followed Qin Zhe's footsteps, without even noticing that it was not himself, but an afterimage in front of him.

Seeing Qin Zhe walking forward without saying a word, Lu Chuanquan thought he was guarding against himself, and smiled apologetically.

"It's such a rare coincidence that we met in the capital, find a place to have a cup of coffee, how about we catch up?"

At this time, Qin Zhe himself did not leave too far away.

It is even more impossible for him to be so high-profile in broad daylight on Guodu Avenue.

Standing where Lu Chuan couldn't see, Qin Zhe paid attention to him for a moment, and took the initiative to remove the afterimage left by Shadow Step.

Lu Chuan was worried because Qin Zhe ignored him, and suddenly saw him disappear like a bubble, and couldn't help but look confused.

But he was a sixth-level practitioner after all, and soon realized that Qin Zhe had already left.

Silently stopped on the street, Lu Chuan looked left and right, and quietly disappeared among the crowd passing by on the street.

Qin Zhe watched him in the dark, and frowned slightly when he saw that he deliberately hid his figure.

It should be a coincidence that he and Lu Chuan met on the street.

But Lu Chuan's behavior, but somehow he had a feeling that things didn't seem so simple.

Staring at the direction where Lu Chuan disappeared, Qin Zhan turned his head puzzled and glanced at Shu Wenhan's courtyard.

Lu Chuan has a problem.

But Qin Zhe was sure that he didn't come here for himself.

After all, he came to Shu Wenhan on a temporary basis, no matter how clever Lu Chuan was, it was impossible for him to know in advance, so he waited for him to come.

So here comes the question, why did Lu Chuan stay near Shu Wenhan's residence?

Squatting Shu Wenhan?

Or...for someone else?

Qin Zhe couldn't understand it.

Thinking that this matter has little to do with him, he has no idea of ​​trying to pursue it.

Stopping by the side of the street, Qin Zhe casually took out the ghost order from the storage space, and tried to establish a mind-to-mind connection with Qin Yesheng.

Shu Wenhan didn't know where he was, so all he could do next was wait for news from Ruan Xiao.

But waiting in the capital is not his style.

Certain things can be arranged in advance.

The mind connection established by the ghost order has no distance limit.

As long as two people holding ghost orders are in the same space, no matter how far apart they are, the mind-to-mind connection will be successfully established.

Qin Zhe didn't know if Qin Yesheng took Luo Shu to Yingguo to finish Kou Xiran, but he knew that Kou Xiran would probably be in this world no matter whether it was over or not.

After all, the Palace of the King of Qin is responsible for the foreign affairs of the Underworld, and most of the personnel including the Hall Master are permanently stationed in the present world, and usually not in the secret realm of the Underworld.

As Qin Zhe expected, the mind-to-mind connection was successfully established.

As the connection was established, Qin Yesheng's slightly teasing voice came through the ghost order.

"Should I call you Heiwuchang now, or King Yama?"

Before Qin Zhe had time to speak, he was ridiculed and said with a wry smile.

"Can you stop making fun of me? I have something serious to see you, so don't joke about it."

As he spoke, Qin Zhe asked.

"Have you finished with Luo Shu's work in Eagle Country?"

Qin Yesheng is relatively gloomy, not a person who can joke around casually.

The reason why Qin Zhe teased Qin Zhe was mainly because someone suddenly became King Yama, which made him uncomfortable.

A year ago, Qin Zhe was still an ant that he could easily crush to death.

A year later, Qin Zhe had not only a level of cultivation comparable to his, but also became the tenth hall Yama who was on an equal footing.

With the changes here, who can adapt?

However, as the first person in the underworld to come into contact with Qin Zhe, he is barely used to the surprises that someone brings to him from time to time.

Seeing Qin Zhe asking about the Eagle Kingdom, Qin Yesheng said plainly.

"Eagle Kingdom's business has been done long ago. It doesn't take much effort to kill an ordinary seventh-order peak. On the contrary, I wasted a lot of time getting away afterwards."
