“He thanked us, dressed like a normal person, and even had a girl with him!!
Could this be love that has changed his life?”
“Holy crap, I can’t say.
He’s always hanging out with Mo.
I used to think he was a closeted homo.”
“You’re talking out of your ass.
I’m sure he was previously hitting on a doctor, maybe he even got rejected after a confession…”
A few gossip enthusiasts abandoned their actual work and gathered together, whispering and getting more excited in their discussion until a greeting echoed from behind them.
“The mont I arrive, I see you guys making up gossip again.”
The burly man turned to see a tall, black-haired young man with a crew cut standing behind him.
He wore crisp jeans and a white shirt with a black school blazer casually open and a long sword at his waist, holding two large wooden boxes.
There also stood a short mber whose face didn’t look too good.
“Wow, President, you’re slacking off on your own, and you’ve even dragged Cao Hong into it?”
“With such beautiful weather and only two weeks left of sumr break, should I be working instead of slacking off?” The President said with a justified air, “Co on, co on, who needs a guide for a fair?
Just slack off with .”
“With the President saying that, we can rest easy!
Brothers, let’s go sit in a 7-seater at the café!”
The intelligence unit clustered around the President, with Cao Hong arm in arm with them, heading towards the café.
Cao Hong glanced left at the bombs in the President’s hand and right at the bustling café, his face turning as green as freshly-made celery juice.
Please nothing happen now.
Cao Hong prayed desperately in his heart.
Please, just don’t let anything happen!!!

At the open-air seating outside the Mix and Serve Café, a gold-haired girl wearing a top hat glanced at her phone ssage and then waved to her friend, “Over here, over here—who the heck are you?!”
Gongsun Ce covered his face and said under the curious gaze of Qin Qianbai, “I am Gongsun Ce…”
“Impossible!” Kaldesia declared with finality, “You don’t talk bizarrely enough, your outfit is not stupid enough, and you even changed your hair color but still dare to pretend to be my friend with severe brain damage?
Speak!
Who sent you!
What are your intentions!”
“Can’t you save so face while I’m introducing a newcor?”
“I don’t know you, who are you?” Kaldesia shifted her gaze, looking Qin Qianbai up and down, “Speaking of which, this kid is so cute!
Where did you find her?”
Found her at a cri scene…
that would be troubleso to say out loud.
“My new neighbor next door, nad Qin Qianbai,” Gongsun Ce coughed, “Miss, this is Kaldesia Spencer.
She’s a bit of a fool but not a bad person at heart.”
Qin Qianbai observed the enthusiastic girl.
She was clearly from the North continent, sporting bright gold hair, wearing a black sleeveless top that accentuated her figure and a red skirt, with a magenta purse on her side and a top hat on her head.
It was rare to see such a person in the Empire, and even stranger, the foreign girl was speaking fluent Imperial Language.
“Hello, Kaldesia, I’m Qin Qianbai.” The young lady tried waving her hand and introduced herself in the common language.
“Hello~ No need to use a foreign language, we’ve been here long enough to be familiar with languages from various countries.” The blonde girl inspected Qin Qianbai’s white hooded sweatshirt and pants closely, “Just curious, what brand is this?
It’s rare to see pure white clothing like this.
Is it the latest fashion?
The material also looks very special.”
Qin Qianbai opened her mouth, looking helplessly toward her neighbor, only to find the gray-haired young man had already hastily run off.
“I’ll just go to the restroom and be right back.” Gongsun Ce said with a mischievous smile, “Don’t run off, take this opportunity to learn from Kaldesia how to interact with people your age!”
“…You!” Qin Qianbai stood up in annoyance, but Gongsun Ce had already disappeared into the crowd.
She sat back down, pouting and said, “I don’t understand what he’s thinking!”
“That’s totally normal, I bet you there aren’t many people in the city who can understand what he’s thinking,” Kaldesia consoled, “You can start by ordering sothing to drink and sit down, and later let him pay for it.
What kind of servant are you looking for?”
“?”
The girl in the top hat grabbed the nu, excitedly explaining, “It’s the special feature of this café.
There are maids, butlers, sumo, and machine servants.”
Qin Qianbai looked over to see girls dressed as maids, muscular n, chubby guys in loincloth, and trashcan-shaped robots walking around, feeling a wave of dizziness as she acutely experienced what constitutes a multi-cultural shock.

Gongsun Ce pushed through the crowd, against the flow of people out of the school gate, walked along the path beside the school, and stopped in a backlit narrow alley.
“It’s ti to co out, isn’t it, Mr.
Black Clothes?” Gongsun Ce said, “It’s better to talk in a quiet place.”
He turned around just in ti to see a man in black clothes jumping down from the rooftop and greeting him with a bow.
“Young brother, you do have so impressive skills.
May I ask out of curiosity, where did I give myself away?”
“It’s nothing.
I habitually set up a surveillance network around , keeping track of where nearby people are and how many there are, so it’s easy to detect any tail.”
The man in black frowned and spoke, “Young brother, not that I don’t believe in your capabilities, but there are more than a hundred passersby on this street.
How can you possibly identify out of them with just your skills?”
Gongsun Ce adjusted his glasses and calmly replied.
“You’ve been following since I bought the plums, and at the downstairs of the tea restaurant, you called two more companions, and by the school gate, there were already five of you.
When I turned around to go out just now, you left three people to watch and two to follow .
The ones you left used so special thod to conceal their shape and sound, which can’t be seen clearly with just the eyes.
And the one who ca with you, who arrived last, must be the leader of this group of people.
I’m right, aren’t I?”
