Chapter 358: Sorry to trouble you

Even if not biological, the grace of raising someone will always surpass the grace of giving birth.

Xiaozhi took a sip of tea and continued, "The reason I asked you to come back this time is to have you help investigate some things!"

"Help?"

Liu Menglu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Just tell me what information you need, and I'll contact you when there are results."

Xiaozhi smiled and said, "I've already obtained your information, but there are still many materials that need to be found. I also need your help on my side; I'm planning to have you carry out a mission."

"What mission?" Liu Menglu asked hurriedly.

"I want to find the members of the Dragon Tooth team. They must have been captured by someone; I don't know the specific location for the time being." Xiaozhi gave a brief explanation.

The Dragon Tooth team was the nation's highest military secret. Liu Menglu didn't know the specific situation, but after hearing it, she frowned and said, "So, this mission of yours is probably not easy to complete?"

Xiaozhi nodded. "Indeed, to enter the Dragon Tooth team, first of all, one must possess strength above the eighth level of the Transcendent Realm. In addition, one must obtain special approval, otherwise, one can't even get through the door."

After finishing, he looked at Liu Menglu and said, "I will head directly to the Dragon Group headquarters on this trip. I will call to notify you when the time comes, and you can come find me."

"Mm."

Liu Menglu nodded, then added, "Don't worry, leave this mission to me; it will definitely be completed. These Dragon Tooth members of yours have all saved my life before, so I will definitely do my best to help you find them!"

Seeing her determined appearance, Xiaozhi smiled with some relief and said, "Sorry to trouble you during this time."

"It's no trouble at all, I'd rather stay with you more," Liu Menglu said with a giggle.

Xiaozhi's expression stiffened.

He discovered that Liu Menglu's personality seemed a bit quirky, which was different from White's elegance and dignity.

Seeing Xiaozhi's awkward expression, Liu Menglu's face flushed slightly, and she stuck out her tongue and smiled. "Alright, I won't tease you. By the way, just now in the car, that police officer named Han Shuang said you and she are boyfriend and girlfriend? Are you two dating? I think a big boss like you is a good match for her!"

"She and I are just friends, not boyfriend and girlfriend, please don't misunderstand." Xiaozhi waved his hands quickly.

"Tch! Is there a difference between ordinary friends and boyfriend and girlfriend?" Liu Menglu rolled her eyes.

Immediately, she straightened her expression and said, "Xiaochen, I know you are a martial artist. However, your realm is still too low! If I were you, I definitely wouldn't provoke any enemies, but would instead improve my cultivation realm as quickly as possible!"

"How so?" Xiaozhi was startled and asked curiously.

Liu Menglu explained, "In this world, powerful martial artists are rare, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. Think about it, our China has the Four Dragon Guards, and how many hidden powerful forces does China have?"

Xiaozhi nodded; he had guessed this as well.

Liu Menglu continued, "As far as I know, China has an extremely massive martial artist force called the Hidden Sect. Legend has it that the weakest members of the Hidden Sect have reached the peak of the Innate Realm, and an existence at this level is merely a bottom-tier member of the Hidden Sect."

Xiaozhi was shocked. In that case, compared to this Hidden Sect, his strength was far too lacking!

He couldn't help but ask, "Then where is this Hidden Sect? Is there anything special about it?"

Liu Menglu said, "People from the Hidden Sect do not operate within China's borders, but hide in various secret realms. Every thirty years, they will come out of those secret realms once to select one hundred people to be sent into the Kunlun Holy Land!" ===== CHAPTER 359 =====
