Chapter 541: Chapter 541: Going to Pick Up Zhao’er_1

At the supernatural detective society, every guy had a nickname, and Zong Wangyue didn’t waste any time before dubbing Lei Jianhua "Little Pen."

"You didn’t mention it, and I almost forgot," he said, turning to look at Lei Jianhua, who stood not far away. "Pen, I need you to set up an Order Barrier in the car for me. You’re our detective agency’s last defense. Whether we can catch the mastermind behind the scenes this time depends on you."

"Hmm, don’t worry, boss, I won’t let everyone down!"

This was Lei Jianhua’s first mission, and although he was somewhat nervous, he was also full of confidence.

Liao Yong patted Zong Wangyue on the shoulder and said, "Zongzi, as the bottom rung, you need to have the awareness of one. You’re definitely taking on the role of a human target."

Zong Wangyue could only roll his eyes and accept his fate.

"All right, that’s it for now. Let’s meet outside the building at six o’clock tonight."

Seeing you stand up, Xian Qianling couldn’t help but ask, "Where are you going?"

You turned your head slightly and grinned, "I’m going to pick up Zhao’er."

Previously, Wu Qiyi had mentioned to you that Zhao’er’s movements were too stiff and that she needed some body shaping and posture training.

As someone from Sculpted Silk, you naturally weren’t familiar with these things. However, knowing Wu Qiyi’s character and knowing that she wasn’t the type to trip Zhao’er, you trusted her completely with Zhao’er.

After all, in this world, there were only two people you could completely trust with Zhao’er: one was your mother who gave birth to and nurtured you, and the other was your childhood sweetheart Wu Qiyi.

Her presence meant a great deal to you and also caused some dilemmas in your heart. If it weren’t for that day’s descent into Qian Ling’s Underground Palace, you might not have met Zhao’er and perhaps would now be enjoying life with Wu Qiyi.

Of course, if you hadn’t met Zhao’er, you wouldn’t have the Sen Luo Eye now and wouldn’t be able to break the curse. Wu Qiyi might have been gone from this world.

There are so many coincidences in this world, as if someone in the dark is controlling your fates.

With that thought, as you just stepped out of the café, you couldn’t help but look up at the clear blue sky overhead.

Hmph.

From childhood to adulthood, you have never been one to accept fate; even less so now. Even if there truly was something controlling your destiny, you would fight with all your might to break free, to strive, even if death or oblivion was the price!

"Jieyu Women’s Club" was located in the office building less than a hundred meters from the university.

Following the address Xi Yu sent to your phone via WeChat, you soon arrived at their front desk.

"Hello sir, how can I help you?"

Having just come up the stairs, a pretty girl in uniform approached with a welcoming smile.

"Oh, I’m here to pick up my girlfriend."

The pretty girl said with a smile, "All of our classes are in session right now, and it will be about ten minutes before they end. Why don’t you wait in our lounge for a while?"

"Sure."

You shrugged your shoulders and readily agreed.

You followed the pretty girl into the lounge on the left of the front desk, and at first glance—wow, there were quite a few people!

The lounge was well-equipped, with a TV, computers, a pool table, massage chairs, and more.

Glancing around casually, you noticed that in a corner by the window, there was a Yamaha grand piano.

With nothing better to do and in the spirit of entertainment and relaxation, you walked over to the grand piano.

Thinking back, ever since that experience with Ruan Yuling in the little western-style house, you had inexplicably taken a liking to the sometimes crisp, sometimes melodious sound of the piano.

In the past few days, you had made a point of visiting two private piano coaches and, with the unique ability of the Sen Luo Eye, acquired their piano skills.

Of course, what you learned was only theory, and many techniques would require diligent practice to reach the coaches’ level. However, for an outsider like you, being able to play a beautiful tune was enough; you didn’t care about the rest.

Seeing you seated confidently at the grand piano, the pretty girl couldn’t help but be surprised.

This grand piano had been there for two years now, and aside from regular cleaning and tuning, no one ever touched it.

Having just learned "On the Street Where the Wind Lives" the day before yesterday, as soon as you sat down, your hands began dancing across the black and white keys, and a flowing, beautiful melody wafted through the reception room.

Most of the other guys waiting for their girlfriends in the reception room turned their heads, envy apparent on the faces of many.

After all, in this day and age, guys who could play the piano were in high demand, especially someone like you with a height over six feet, a sturdy body, and a rather handsome appearance.

Soon, a guy quietly came over, pulled up a stool next to you, and watched you play with an envious look on his face.

As the music ended, scattered applause from the guys around you filled the air, and the guy beside you eagerly asked, "Hey, dude, did you study piano professionally?"

"Nope, just picked it up casually."

"Did you learn it specifically to impress your girlfriend?" he asked quickly.

"Yeah, something like that."

It wasn’t far from the truth. After learning piano, you had played a couple of pieces for Zhao’er. She would become particularly quiet when she heard the piano melodies—though she wasn’t normally talkative, Zhao’er seemed even more beautiful to you in those moments than usual.

"Hey, brother. My name is Ji Tui, can you teach me?"

"Huh? Chicken Leg?"

"No, not Chicken Leg, it’s Ji Tui. Ji as in ’seasons’ and Tui as in ’advance and retreat.’" Ji Tui seemed used to being called that and smiled at you, "But my nickname is Chicken Leg. What about you, brother?"

"I’m Li Muyun."

You were about to explain, but Ji Tui immediately looked at you in shock, "You’re Li Muyun?"

"What, am I famous or something?" you asked, touching your nose and looking at Ji Tui with a slightly bewildered expression.

"Brother, are you really Li Muyun?" Ji Tui stared at you, his face still showing astonishment.

Shrugging your shoulders, you nodded with a smile.

"Oh my goodness, I can’t believe I’m seeing the living legend—oh no, that’s not what I meant. I mean, I didn’t expect to meet the legendary Goddess Watcher here."

"Goddess Watcher?" This unexpected nickname made you feel even more bewildered.

"Yeah, that’s what fans of Goddess Wu and Goddess Zhao have nicknamed you. Initially, when those fans found out the goddesses were taken, they were really worked up. Later, Goddess Wu somehow managed to calm down the fans at our university, and since then, you’ve been known as the ’Goddess Watcher’ at Jiang University."
