234: Chapter 32 The author finally got to the notes!
Li Mumu stood at the entrance of the Special Service Bureau, holding a dicine bottle in her hand and was lost in thought.
The “Beiming Heart thod” could only be read inside the Special Service Bureau and could not be taken ho, as Yaoqin put it, to prevent the spread of knowledge from causing pollution.
But you could take notes and copy down the contents of the book.
She didn’t understand the point of such a redundant action.
Now that she had cald down, Li Mumu started to doubt whether she had been swindled.
Surely, the true purpose of that gentle and virtuous sister couldn’t be just to peddle health products, right?
Why did they call it the Foundation Establishnt Pill inside the Special Service Bureau but claim it was Wushi Powder to the public?
The explanation Yaoqin provided was that everyone knows Wushi Powder is toxic and would be more cautious when using it.
If you dare call it the Foundation Establishnt Pill, believe it or not, so people would dare to eat it like candy beans.
Was this thing reliable at all?
Li Mumu hesitated in her heart.
Whether it was toxic didn’t matter much to her, but the rumored side effects were quite terrifying.
When practicing the “Beiming Heart thod,” one must choose a suitable place, preferably the so-called Blessed Land of Cavernous Heavens from the legends—that is, an Outer Dinsion compatible with one’s own nature according to the book.
What kind of legitimate Divine Skill Secret Manuals would ntion sothing like the Outer Dinsion…
As a newbie who hadn’t officially stepped into the threshold of cultivation, without any family inheritance or advanced tech support, actively searching for an Outer Dinsion was hardly a possibility.
The simplest thod would be to wait until the full moon night on the fifteenth of each month.
With the help of Wushi Powder, there was a chance to glimpse a suitable Outer Dinsion.
Such a hassle… I don’t really want to practice this anymore.
I should have taken a closer look at the other Secret Manuals back then.
Li Mumu habitually glanced around and saw the fast-food restaurant across the street, with a large “CFC” sign.
To call it a fast-food restaurant wasn’t exactly accurate; it should be called a Western restaurant.
In this era, fast food had not beco popular yet, and it was rare to see Western-style restaurants on the streets of Tiann City… Of course, it could also be because she didn’t go out much.
The decor of the CFC restaurant was no different from that of the restaurants Li Mumu had seen in Saifu, with a proper kitchen where you could order dishes.
Apart from fried chicken and cola, it also offered various specialties like fries, steaks, pasta, and pizza.
It was more like Pizza Hut than KFC, actually.
When feeling irritable, of course, you drink ice coke.
She ordered a bottle of iced cola, a vegetable salad, and a pan-fried steak, took a seat by the window, and opened her notebook.
Apart from the notes she had taken, there was nothing else displayed in the notebook.
Clearly, the bottle of Wushi Powder in her hand was purely dicinal and contained no mystical elents.
And in the face of the nearby Special Service Bureau, the notebook didn’t dare make even the tiniest peep.
Really pathetic.
“I want a case of cola to go!”
A voice that sounded sowhat familiar from the order counter made Li Mumu subconsciously look up, and the other party seed to notice her gaze as well, turning to look back at her.
Their eyes t.
Wang Yunxiao, a well-known bigshot loafer in Qinghe Middle School and indeed throughout the streets of Nantong District in Tiann City, had strong and brutal subordinates, and was rumored to have a record of killing people in the street.
Killing people in the street hadn’t been a big deal in the past.
But to be so brazen and defiant on the streets after two rigorous governnt crackdowns was quite frightening.
This was what Li Mumu had gleaned about Wang Yunxiao’s personal information from Jiang Yinyin’s account.
He was indeed a ruthless person, Li Mumu could see that.
But apart from the cri of killing soone in the street, it seed he didn’t have any other unsavory track record.
On the contrary, he even had a bit of a chivalrous heart, tirelessly searching for the total stranger Jiang Yinyin and asking for no reward afterward.
Just because he killed soone, should she fear and despise him?
Others might, but Li Mumu was no hypocrite, she couldn’t say such things.
Killing had many contexts.
Maybe it was self-defense, and since he was now seemingly enjoying life, he surely had his reasons.
As for having a powerful backer, Li Mumu didn’t believe that.
If he really had a sturdy leg to hug, why would anyone choose to be a loafer?
Her reason for disliking him…
well, it wasn’t exactly dislike, Li Mumu considered herself broad-minded and quite tolerant, yes, that was it.
She could only say she disliked him a tiny bit because the man had no sense of boundaries.
What kind of decent person would run into soone else’s house in the middle of the night and eat noodles as if it were the most natural thing in the world?
And he had seen the garlic beside her hand.
If the Jianghu world spread rumors that Eldest Miss Li ate a bowl of noodles with a braid of garlic, her reputation would be ruined!
Li Mumu hesitated in her mind, wondering whether to pretend she hadn’t seen him, given that in many ways, they weren’t familiar with each other.
But Wang Yunxiao was already approaching.
Wang Yunxiao’s gaze landed on the notebook in front of her.
Sitting in the western restaurant, sipping cola and eating steak, the beautiful young girl was indeed a pleasant sight, but the familiar notebook in her hand was not so beautiful.
How did this notebook end up in her hands?
Wait a second…
what is this in my pocket then?
Wang Yunxiao, clutching at straws, returned to the Special Service Bureau to inquire, and unexpectedly, he found his notebook at the guard room’s lost and found.
He didn’t know when he had lost it there, but luckily he had co back to ask.
The notebook was quite a valuable auxiliary item for him, but for the wealthy and prominent Special Service Bureau, it probably didn’t matter much, hence why it lay ignored.
He visited Dumpling and Wormwood in the hospital and saw they were recovering well both physically and ntally, looking like they would be able to get out of bed in a few days.
Hearing the news that they still had to prepare for their end-of-term exams and couldn’t fail any subjects, everyone was elated, so much so that they shed tears.
As Wang Yunxiao was leaving and walking back, he rembered Huo Qingyang’s reminder and stopped by the western restaurant across the street to buy so cola to take back.
He didn’t expect to encounter familiar people, and familiar things, here.
Upon seeing the notebook, Wang Yunxiao instinctively beca vigilant, inconspicuously making his way to Li Mumu.
“Miss Li, are you well?”
As he spoke, he stealthily glanced at the text on the notebook with the corner of his eye.
Damn it, it’s in cursive English, I can’t understand!
But Wang Yunxiao instantly rembered, he had seen the sa font before, on a note in the hands of a girl who committed suicide in that underground air-raid shelter.
And now that girl was still lively and kicking, always following closely by Li Mumu’s side.
Forgot to ask for her na.
But thinking about it now…
it seed not so unreasonable for this notebook to be in Li Mumu’s hands, right?
They looked at each other and smiles of courtesy simultaneously appeared on their faces.
