That vixen is all righteous, luckily I am one too.

Chapter 23: Infiltration with Sister Tang

"I've heard Wanzhao mention you many times. I've long wanted to know what kind of person your proud brother is. I've had a long-standing, almost spiritual, impression of you, so when we met, I felt like you were my brother too."

"I never expected that our first meeting would be in such a setting."

Jiang Xuetang said with a smile, "You finally got home, but instead of spending time with Wanzhao, you came here to tease me. She'll be sad, won't she?"

"I'm here on imperial orders to investigate!"

"The Imperial Envoy? That's amazing!"

Jiang Xuetang tilted her head slightly and looked at Li Xingzhou, her shimmering peach blossom eyes seeming to hold a genuine sense of admiration.

No wonder they say that even dogs look at you with deep affection when you have peach blossom eyes.

Jiang Xuetang's cheerful and generous personality somewhat appealed to Li Xingzhou's tastes.

Perhaps because I used to be more introverted, I have a strong yearning for people of the opposite sex with this kind of personality.

Especially since her words were full of curiosity about me... it was unbearable.

Damn it, my sister was right, those bad women outside are indeed dangerous!

Li Xingzhou didn't meet his gaze: "I'm just fortunate to have His Majesty's favor."

Jiang Xuetang's smile widened: "She'll definitely love to hear that, but Xingzhou, your flirting techniques were rather outdated."

Li Xingzhou, hands in his pockets, said unhurriedly, "Then tell me, did you hook it or not?"

"We've hooked up, but... isn't that because I'm your sister's best friend?"

Li Xingzhou suddenly lowered his head to meet her gaze: "Then let me ask you, if you weren't my sister's best friend, would I have been able to hook up with you?"

Jiang Xuetang looked at Li Xingzhou, who was so close to her, her breath hitched slightly, and she nodded subconsciously.

"Oh?" Li Xingzhou looked at her with a half-smile. "Really?"

Jiang Xuetang raised her hand and brushed a strand of hair from her forehead: "Little brat, always going astray..."

She deliberately emphasized the words "little brat," implying to Li Xingzhou, "I only see you as a little brat and am just playing around with you."

This is the only way to cover it up now, what else can we do?

Should I just say what I truly think?

Jiang Wanzhao clearly had special feelings for this younger brother, but she hadn't even had her yet, so she couldn't reveal too much.

More importantly, treating him like a little kid can lower his guard and give him the impression that: "I treat you differently because I see you as a child."

If we engage in intimate interactions in this way, he definitely won't avoid it anymore. If he doesn't avoid it, won't his affection and dependence on me increase?

"Does this even need to be learned?"

"Wow, that's amazing! Shall we go clubbing?" Jiang Xuetang joked casually.

Clubbing?

Li Xingzhou's gaze involuntarily shifted to her chest; how much it would tremble if she were to bounce up like that...

Jiang Xuetang turned her body slightly, her soft breasts pressed against Li Xingzhou's arm, very moist.

"Hey kid, if you keep looking around like that, I'll tell your sister!"

"How old are you? Already tattlering on others?"

"Are you scared or not?"

"hehe……"

The two had no real intention of going clubbing and walked into the underground parking lot.

Jiang Xuetang's car is a majestic SUV with custom-made windows that make it impossible to see inside from the outside.

Li Xingzhou followed leisurely behind Jiang Xuetang, watching her walk with light steps, her waist swaying gently as she took cat-like steps. With each step of her straight legs in high heels, it felt like stepping on the tip of his heart.

It is exceptionally charming.

Jiang Xuetang was only walking like that to tease him; little brat, she'd see if she could stop her from charming you!

She turned around and said, "Little brat, get in the car..."

She paused, because Li Xingzhou's gaze had already focused on the imposing SUV.

"Is this your car? May I try it out?"

"..."

Jiang Xuetang was speechless. Compared to a soft and fragrant "car", do boys prefer a metal car?

"Do you have a driver's license?" Jiang Xuetang rolled her eyes at him. "Cars are much faster these days, and they're all equipped with intelligent systems. If you don't have a license, you'll get a warning right away."

"Alright then." Li Xingzhou got into the passenger seat with a regretful expression. "But this intelligent system is great."

"It's not bad; it can detect drunk driving directly."

Watching Jiang Xuetang start the vehicle, Li Xingzhou, who had fastened his seatbelt, admired the interior and in-car system with great interest while asking, "Is all the grain now spirit rice?"

"Hmm." Jiang Xuetang took off her sunglasses, and the entire car seemed to light up. "It's not just humans who have evolved, otherwise where would the fairies come from?"

"I understand, I understand." Li Xingzhou glanced back and said, "This car is really big, and the headlights are bright. It suits you perfectly."

Jiang Xuetang, now wearing flat shoes, stepped on the gas, giving him a sidelong glance amidst the roar of the engine: "Little brat, can't you stand not teasing your older sister a bit?"

"I'm talking about the car, what are you thinking about?" After the initial novelty of the new-era vehicle wore off, Li Xingzhou got to the point: "Where to?"

Seeing that he had suddenly become serious, Jiang Xuetang did not continue to tease him: "According to the intelligence I gathered in the Mili Realm, Ares that flowed into Jiangzhou is related to Fu Zheng, the vice president of the Jiangzhou Chamber of Commerce. She organized a charity gala at 9:30 tonight, and someone will hand it over to her then."

After a pause, Jiang Xuetang added, "The fact that Ares was able to flow into the previous dynasty back then is inextricably linked to the chaos caused by the Wei Demons. Although Wanzhao won, these hidden guys have no good intentions and are always thinking about taking back control of this great land."

Li Xingzhou nodded: "Simple, just search the soul."

"Sister, I also like this simple and direct method, but..." Jiang Xuetang changed the subject, "We can't kill anyone, and we can't let the clues and chain of evidence have any flaws."

"I understand."

Li Xingzhou naturally understood this point: the immortal realm has its own heavenly rules, and the mortal realm has its own laws.

Now that Xuanhuang Star has the ability to upgrade from a "junior college" to a "bachelor's degree", its laws have naturally been upgraded to heavenly rules.

Even demonic sects have their own set of rules.

In addition, her elder sister was about to become emperor, and the founding emperor, who had prestige and military power, had always ruled the world by following the path of inner sage and outer king.

Li Xingzhou naturally knew what kind of result his sister wanted.

"So..." Jiang Xuetang said with a smile, "You'll have to cooperate with me tonight."

"Sure, Sister Tang, give the orders. I'll be your lackey tonight." Li Xingzhou turned to look at her shapely legs. "Since it's a charity gala, do we need to pretend to be a couple?"

"Little brat, trying to take advantage of your big sister?" Jiang Xuetang feigned regret: "But we're sneaking around this time, otherwise I really wanted to show off a handsome guy like you."

That's truly a pity.

Li Xingzhou leaned back in his chair, watching rows of streetlights rush by in the night.

The Yuxin Hotel in the southern district of Longchengfu, one of the most prestigious star-rated hotels in Longchengfu, is exceptionally lively tonight, with only the wealthy and powerful arriving.

In front of the hotel is a planned green park, with flower beds, lawns, rockeries, and pavilions nestled along pebble paths. It becomes a great place for rendezvous at night, but ordinary people cannot enter because it is surrounded by iron fences.

Of course, these things are only good for keeping out honest people, not scoundrels, and they can't keep out powerful people. Li Xingzhou and Jiang Xuetang are two 'undercover agents' who are about to infiltrate the area tonight.

Having changed into sportswear for easier movement, Jiang Xuetang linked arms with Li Xingzhou as they walked in the shadows of the park: "It's not time yet, these people haven't gone in. Look, the person on the left and right is Fu Zheng, and the one next to her is Guan Song, one of the magistrates of Longcheng Prefecture."

"A protective umbrella?"

"I don't know." Jiang Xuetang smiled. "Let's go, let's search the hotel for some things. Fu Zheng usually stays here, but she changes rooms every day."

"Do you know the room for tonight?"

"Do you think the Demon Suppression Division planted a spy among her?"

Li Xingzhou understood perfectly. Before returning, he had witnessed the magic used by undercover agents to prevent their souls from being searched. The development of his hometown over the past century was much faster than he had imagined.

It truly is the most perfect world I've ever encountered.

Li Xingzhou, who was following behind Jiang Xuetang, was filled with curiosity. It was his first time doing something like this, and it was a little exciting.

"first?"

"Um."

"It's okay, Sister Tang will take you."

Jiang Xuetang grabbed Li Xingzhou's wrist, her spiritual energy enveloping both of them, merging them into the night and becoming one with the light.

"Let's take off!"

Jiang Xuetang leaped up with Li Xingzhou in her arms. Li Xingzhou's pupils shrank, not out of fear, nor because there was anything wrong with Jiang Xuetang's spiritual power, but because of the concealment spell of "Harmony with Light and Dust".

This was his most proficient and strongest concealment spell, and seeing Jiang Xuetang use it now stirred up some memories.

He had taught this spell before, but someone here has mastered the same spell...

There's nothing to be surprised about.
