Chapter 28
Looking at the phone.
Chen Hao frowned, because it was the mother of the woman in white calling.
After a slight hesitation.
Chen Hao answered.
"Hello."
Hearing Chen Hao's voice, the mother of the woman in white fell silent.
After a long while, she asked: "Hello, can you give the phone to my daughter?"
"I'm sorry, she has already left."
"Left!"
"Hmm, she's gone, to a very far place."
"Before she left, she told me to tell you to take care of your health."
"There was one more thing, she said she was sorry to you."
Hearing Chen Hao's words, the mother of the woman in white burst into tears.
She cried for a long time before stopping.
"Thank you, thank you."
"It's late, I won't disturb your rest."
In this world, there are weird entities.
So people have a relatively high acceptance of weirdness.
When she heard her daughter calling her, the mother of the woman in white had originally thought it was a scam call.
But that familiar voice and tone were things a scam call couldn't simulate.
Through the private questions they discussed later, she was certain it was her daughter.
She had thought she could chat with her daughter for a while longer.
She didn't expect there would be no more chance.
Chen Hao hung up the phone.
At this moment, the car arrived.
The next day.
In a daze, Chen Hao discovered his right hand was pinching something.
He felt it was particularly soft and subconsciously pinched it.
As a result, he heard a moan.
He was startled and scrambled up.
Tian Wenjing had also woken up by now.
She frowned and looked at her clothes.
Except for some wrinkles on her top, her lower-body clothing was still intact.
Tian Wenjing had a dark face and looked at Chen Hao coldly.
She didn't seem to mean to blame Chen Hao, but said: "I have something to do, I'm leaving first."
Then she stood up and left the room.
Chen Qiang was making breakfast at this moment.
Seeing Tian Wenjing run out of Chen Hao's room.
Chen Qiang was slightly stunned.
Before Chen Qiang could say anything, Tian Wenjing had already opened the door and left.
Chen Hao walked out of the room at this moment.
Seeing this, Chen Qiang couldn't help but say: "Little Hao!"
"Who was that woman just now?"
"Oh, a colleague of mine."
"A colleague? Why didn't you ask her to stay for breakfast!"
"She said she had something to do."
"Oh."
"Little Hao!"
"What's wrong? Grandpa."
"Treat her well."
Chen Hao: ... Tian Wenjing ran downstairs, massaging herself secretly as she walked.
"Bastard, so hard, hiss, it hurts so much!"
She seemed to remember something.
Her expression became serious, and she headed toward a certain place.
After Chen Hao finished eating, he didn't go to the funeral home.
Instead, he returned to the base.
After turning in the mission, he received five thousand points.
Now he was still five thousand points away from ten thousand.
"Need to find another mission to do."
Chen Hao came to the place where missions were posted.
He suddenly discovered an awkward thing.
That was that without Tian Wenjing, he couldn't take missions worth thousands of points.
Chen Hao didn't look down on missions worth less than a thousand points.
There was no other way, Chen Hao could only call Tian Wenjing.
As a result, he found that Tian Wenjing's phone couldn't get through.
"What's the situation? Is she angry because of what happened this morning?"
"Hey, brother."
Just as Chen Hao was thinking, a guy patted him on the shoulder.
Chen Hao turned his head to look and found it was a slightly chubby guy.
Although this guy had delicate skin and tender flesh, his eyes were unfocused, giving a very sleazy feeling.
"Are you looking at missions?"
"Hmm."
Chen Hao nodded.
"Do you want to team up with me?"
"With you?"
Chen Hao looked at the other person.
"A-level ability - [Chrysanthemum Finger]."
"Strength of the first stage of the Master Realm."
With just one glance, Chen Hao saw through the other's strength.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm super brave, okay?"
"Fine, but I have one requirement."
"Requirement? What requirement?"
"The points from the first mission must all belong to me."
"The points from the next one will all belong to you."
Hearing this, the man frowned.
Seeing him hesitate, Chen Hao said: "If you don't agree, forget it."
"Don't, don't, don't, I agree, I agree."
"Let's get to know each other, my name is Lu Xiaoji."
"Lu Xiaoji?"
"What relation are you to Lu Xiaofeng?"
"Lu Xiaofeng, he is my ancestor."
"Brother, you chose me, you chose the right person."
"Let me tell you, I have a unique skill that is even stronger than my ancestor Lu Xiaofeng's [Spirit Rhino Finger]."
"It doesn't come out often, but when it does, it's shocking."
"Any finger is enough to shock the heavens and make ghosts weep."
"It is the gospel for women all over the world, known as the gynecological sage; even Kato Ken would have to call me master if he saw me."
Listening to Lu Xiaoji's words, Chen Hao was wondering if he should change partners.
"Alright, no time to lose, let's quickly take a mission and set off."
Chen Hao walked to the mission board and took a look.
He quickly found a suitable mission - hunting water ghosts.
Chen Hao asked Lu Xiaoji to help him take the water ghost hunting mission.
This mission was also worth five thousand points.
After finishing it, Chen Hao could exchange for a Master Realm Pill.
After taking the mission, Chen Hao and Lu Xiaoji set off.
At this time, two people were standing on the second floor, watching the backs of Chen Hao and Lu Xiaoji as they walked away.
They started chatting.
It was Bai Jie and Shangguan Huofeng.
Bai Jie couldn't help but say to Shangguan Huofeng: "Are you just going to leave him alone like this?"
With Shangguan Huofeng's strength.
A Master Realm Pill was something she could easily obtain.
Even a General Realm Pill would be no problem.
She didn't expect that after taking Chen Hao as her disciple, she would start a hands-off style of education.
"Hmm."
Shangguan Huofeng nodded.
"His path must be walked by himself."
"If he can't even withstand this little setback, then he doesn't deserve to be my disciple."
Hearing this, Bai Jie sighed.
Having known Shangguan Huofeng for many years, she naturally understood her.
Sharp tongue, soft heart.
Shangguan Huofeng had a disciple before, and she had been particularly warm-hearted toward that disciple.
Afraid they would melt if held in her mouth, afraid they would break if held in her hands.
That guy grew up under Shangguan Huofeng's protection.
The result was predictable.
How could a flower in a greenhouse withstand the wind and frost outside?
Even though that guy's strength reached the General rank.
Facing a strong enemy, he couldn't challenge beyond his rank.
He was beheaded by the opponent in one move.
After that time, Shangguan Huofeng changed a lot.
And became much more silent.
So this time, even knowing Chen Hao was an SSS-qualified ability user.
Shangguan Huofeng only introduced him to the door before adopting a hands-off education style.
A towering pine cannot grow in a flowerpot, and a thousand-mile horse cannot be trained in a courtyard.
No matter how strong Chen Hao's qualifications were, he had to go out and experience hardships.
She, Shangguan Huofeng, had attained her current strength by climbing up step by step.
Chen Hao followed Lu Xiaoji to the mission location.
Along the way, Lu Xiaoji chattered incessantly.
Making Chen Hao regret it a little.
If he had known, he wouldn't have teamed up with this guy.
The two had just arrived at the entrance of the village.
A white-bearded old man walked over, looking very anxious.
"Are you the ones sent from above to save us?"
Seeing Chen Hao and Lu Xiaoji, the white-bearded old man asked tentatively.
"Hmm."
Chen Hao nodded.
He said to the white-bearded old man: "I heard there's a water ghost causing trouble here, can you tell us about it?"
Hearing this, the white-bearded old man said: "There is a pond at the east end of our village."
"The water there is bottomless."
"Usually, people in our village go there to fetch water or wash clothes nearby."
"Until a few days ago, Xiao Mei and Hehua from our village agreed to go there to wash clothes."
"While they were washing clothes, a monster crawled out of the pond and dragged Hehua into the pond."
"Xiao Mei was so scared she ran back and told everyone what happened."
"Everyone got the news and brought their tools, preparing to go solve that monster and save Hehua."
"But that guy had infinite strength, and none of us were its match."
