Chapter 239 Superman
The current suspects that Section Nine was investigating were mainly the two teachers and eight students who had gone hiking on Golden Bull Mountain.
For Xue Wenshu's side, they could have Li Chengxi help trick her into giving some blood, but for the others, they would have to figure something out themselves.
Unexpectedly, Lin Qiaoya delivered herself to their doorstep, which immediately lightened their workload considerably.
That afternoon, Li Chengxi received another call from Qian Sen, who said it had been confirmed that there were no issues with either Lin Qiaoya or Xue Wenshu, eliminating two suspects at once.
Among the remaining people, Section Nine got lucky and received news that Teacher Wang Degui had caught a cold and was at the hospital getting an IV drip.
They should be able to obtain his blood sample.
Preliminary tests also found no issues, and they were trying to communicate with the hospital to have Teacher Wang Degui give a little more blood to be sent to the Head Office for testing.
The remaining seven students were the most troublesome.
After all, there was no suitable reason to draw their blood.
They couldn't just drag the kids into a car on their way home from school and forcibly draw blood, could they?
And to make matters worse, since Xue Wenshu was fine, but the snack packaging she had discarded tested positive, it meant that a student who was very close to Xue Wenshu was the person Section Nine was looking for, and that person happened to be on the list of those whose blood was difficult to draw.
It seemed Qian Sen would have to agonize over this for a while longer.
Li Chengxi was the most relaxed when he received the call.
As long as he knew Xue Wenshu was fine, that was all that mattered.
He didn't care about the other matters, nor was it his business to manage.

Dayong Calendar
Year 1154, August 26th.
Ning Xian'er held onto a tree trunk, watching from a distance as Yang Yiyi leaped back and forth across the rocks to move forward.
She had been following Yang Yiyi for nearly three days and had already figured out her daily habits: what time she woke up, what time she ate, what time she slept, even down to when she took a shit.
But she just couldn't find an opportunity to show herself, unsure how to get close to the other person.
She couldn't just sneak over and hand her toilet paper while she was taking a dump, right...
Moreover, Ning Xian'er had noticed some very strange things.
Every time Yang Yiyi set up camp, she would take out a special kind of mechanism bed (which was a folding bed) and would also use a pot to stew or even stir-fry food.
But during the day, Ning Xian'er couldn't see where these things were kept at all.
Yang Yiyi only carried a small bag, and it felt as if all the things she used were conjured out of thin air.
If one were to say that all her belongings had folding mechanisms and could be folded up and hidden on her body without being discovered, then how did she get fresh ingredients?
It was true that she often saw Yang Yiyi catching wild rabbits and pheasants, but besides these, she actually had vegetables and fruits, and could even get her hands on a kind of yellow, fluffy steamed bun (bread).
No matter how you looked at it, these didn't seem like things one could find in the wild.
Thus, Ning Xian'er naturally thought of the most reasonable possibility.
The profound master guiding Yang Yiyi was nearby, and not only could this person come and go freely in Thunder Mountain, but they could even do so in the Heavenly Absolute Palace.
After all, the only entrance and exit to Thunder Mountain was controlled by the Heavenly Absolute Palace.
If someone was carrying food in and out, the gate-keeping disciples should have noticed long ago.
Although the Palace Master was temporarily away, all the elders were present.
For even them to not notice a thing further proved that this person was definitely a great master, perhaps even more formidable than the Palace Master.
This was a good thing.
The more incredible the master, the more likely they could solve the problem of Ning Xian'er being stuck in the Ruthless Dao.
But since this was such a master, they must have already discovered her following Yang Yiyi.
Yet, the other party showed no reaction at all, neither giving a warning nor appearing to have a chat, completely acting as if she didn't exist.
Ning Xian'er had to consider whether the other party was waiting for her to go up and strike up a conversation with Yang Yiyi on her own initiative.
But as it happened, Ning Xian'er was an awkward person who didn't know how to make friends.
She looked at Yang Yiyi and saw her ignore a large rock covered in creeper plants.
An opportunity has come! she thought.
According to the map provided by the Heavenly Absolute Palace, Ning Xian'er knew that a set of 'Spirit Mechanism Finger Technique' was hidden under that rock.
If she took this chance to go up and tell Yang Yiyi that there was a martial arts secret manual underneath, wouldn't that start a conversation?
Thinking of this, Ning Xian'er quickened her pace by two steps, and just as she was about to call out to Yang Yiyi, she saw her actually turn back on her own.
Ning Xian'er quickly hid behind a tree and peeked out, thinking Yang Yiyi had discovered her.
But instead, she saw Yang Yiyi turn back and jump down from the large rock where the Spirit Mechanism Finger Technique was hidden.
Well, there goes the opportunity.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Three days had passed since the Thunder Mountain Treasury opened, and it was night again.
This time, Yang Yiyi found a large tree that could shelter her from the wind and rain, planning to set up camp underneath it.
On the already lit bonfire, the soup in the pot was bubbling away.
Yang Yiyi seemed very happy and was talking to someone.
This scene was fully witnessed by Ning Xian'er, but she decided not to continue following like this.
She resolved to muster her courage and go up to talk.
There was no point in just following her around.
Ning Xian'er felt it was better to get it over with, succeed or fail.
So she deliberately stepped on a branch on the ground, making some noise, and walked towards Yang Yiyi.
The latter, of course, heard the sound of the snapping branch and immediately stopped talking, looking somewhat warily into the forest.
Seeing someone in a white robe walk out from behind a tree, Yang Yiyi immediately became alert, but when she saw Ning Xian'er's face clearly, she relaxed a little.
Perhaps she had mistaken Ning Xian'er for a ghost, and upon seeing she was a person, she relaxed quite a bit.
Yang Yiyi had relaxed, but Ning Xian'er was extremely nervous.
"Could you... uh, I also want to..."
The words she had prepared simply wouldn't come out.
She stood a few meters away, humming and hawing for a while, before her shoulders slumped in defeat.
Yang Yiyi, on the other hand, after seeing Ning Xian'er's antics, gave an understandingly and excessively sweet smile:
"Are you hungry? I made a lot today."
"No, I wanted to..."
Ning Xian'er quickly lowered her head, held up a wild pheasant with a broken neck in her hand, and for the first time, said a complete sentence:
"This is for you."
"Great, let's eat together."
Yang Yiyi took out a spare bowl and chopsticks from behind her back.
Ning Xian'er took them in a daze and sat down across the bonfire.
So, this was it?
Ning Xian'er, who had never had any friends, found it incredible.
It turned out that getting along with people was actually this easy.
Of course, it wasn't easy.
It was mainly because Yang Yiyi was the simple-minded type, and she was an extrovert who liked to make friends.
She thought Ning Xian'er had been attracted by the aroma, and since she didn't mind sharing, she naturally invited her to sit down and eat together.
And on the other side of the screen, Li Chengxi, who was getting ready for bed, was not as carefree as Yang Yiyi.
He immediately opened Ning Xian'er's character attribute panel.
The artwork wasn't bad; she was the ice queen beauty type.
But when he looked at the attribute panel next to it:
"This girl, is she a Super Saiyan or something..."
What made Li Chengxi exclaim this was that Ning Xian'er's five-dimensional attributes were ridiculously high.
All the masters he had seen before couldn't even be considered her little brothers in comparison.
Even Yang Yiyi's best attribute, Innate Aptitude, had a gap of more than three times compared to Ning Xian'er's.
It was no exaggeration to say that if Ning Xian'er had any malicious intent, Yang Yiyi would be killed in an instant, with absolutely no chance to resist.
Below the name column, in the title section, it was written 'True Disciple of the Heavenly Absolute Palace'.
This made Li Chengxi even more confused.
"Someone from the Heavenly Absolute Palace, what are they looking for Yang Yiyi for?"
