Di Wu Yue was stunned: "Huh?"
Ying Zijin had already dialed the number, and after a few rings, it was picked up. She spoke, "Hey, it’s ."
Xize was taken aback: "Boss?"
Ying Zijin rarely called him on her own initiative, and sotis when she found him annoying, she’d even put him on a blacklist.
"Got nothing better to do, huh?" Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow, "Get over here and pick soone up."
"Alright." Xize was getting dressed as he got up, "Who am I picking up?"
"Soone who owes you a debt."
Xize: "..."
Di Wu Yue, who overheard: "..."
Wuwu, her master was beginning to bully her too.
Di Wu Yue hesitated a bit, speaking softly, "Master, I can shop by myself. There’s really no need—"
"Let him accompany you." Ying Zijin spoke again, "What, you don’t want to?"
Xize didn’t expect Ying Zijin to say sothing like this directly. He paused: "I’m on my way."
"Hmm, her personal safety is in your hands."
In that instant, the panic and the sense of loss were like wind rippling across a lake, spreading in circles.
His heart would occasionally be stirred.
He had to admit, he indeed had feelings for her.
These past few days he returned to Jade Ice Cui, but hadn’t settled his mind.
Xize put on his clothes and instructed Job, "Bring the plane."
As he walked, he opened his phone and sent a rare ssage to Norton.
[You in the Alchemy world yet?]
[Rascal]: Got sothing to say?
[Nothing, just letting you know, I should beco single later than you.]
There was no reply from the other side.
Xize stroked his chin and sent another ssage.
[Aren’t you really jealous?]
This ti there was a response, but it was a red exclamation mark.
[You are no longer his (her) friend. Please have the friend confirm the request before continuing the chat.]
"..."
Truly a rascal.
He’ll show him off when he gets the chance.

At this mont.
Alchemy world.
Like other alchemists, Norton was also wearing a magician’s robe, and a hood concealed his features.
Only when he occasionally looked up, his dark green eyes were as cold as blades, devoid of warmth.
The entire Alchemy world was lifeless, unlike the blue skies and white clouds of the Ancient Martial World.
In such an environnt, alchemists had rather eccentric tempers.
"Norton, it’s rare to see you again." A middle-aged man approached carefully, "Your alchemy is indeed strong. After all these years, there’s been no change to your body or appearance."
"Look at us, our bodies are reaching their limits, about to die."
Norton did not respond, just holding a bottle, silently gazing at the gray sky and dark blue sea.
The sea was also a dead sea, with no living creatures except so alchemical materials.
The middle-aged man, feeling awkward, had to step back.
"How was it?" Another person grabbed him, "Didn’t Norton say anything to you?"
"Say what?" The middle-aged man shook his head, "We haven’t seen each other for two hundred years, and you know his temperant."
"Arrogant and unrestrained, boasting of talent, he doesn’t take anyone seriously except his teacher and that person."
The other person frowned: "True, soone like him, you can only earn his recognition by defeating him."
The middle-aged man pondered: "What do you think he’s here for this ti? Is that rumor true?"
"You an—" The other person was suddenly startled, "He’s here to kill Mr. Dermont?"
Dermont, the foremost in the Alchemy world.
Everyone wanted to be his apprentice.
In his lifeti, he only accepted two apprentices, one of whom was Norton.
Later on, sothing unknown happened, and the teacher-apprentice pair parted ways.
"Probably impossible." The middle-aged man sneered, "He’s just imagining things. Let’s go, no need to harbor warm enthusiasm for cold indifference."
Norton sat quietly for a while longer, then lazily raised his hand and took out his phone.
He opened the chat app and saw that the top conversation’s ssage date ended two months ago.
Truly a workaholic more hardworking than himself; unsure if they still rembered to eat.
Norton’s expression was lazy, he lightly dusted off his clothes, and opened the second pinned conversation.
[Boss, get a mobile app.]
[Boss Lady]: What?
[An app to remind soone to wake up, sleep, eat, and other things, forcibly.]
[Boss Lady]: I suggest you set an alarm, it can et all your needs.
[Setting one by one is troubleso and can’t be forced.]
[Boss Lady]: ...
A few minutes later, Ying Zijin still sent over the prepared app.
Norton’s fingers brushed over his phone, and through remote transmission software invented by the Hacker Alliance, he sent the small app to the G country.
Before transmitting, he didn’t find it troubleso, but patiently set the reminders one by one.
Get up at seven, lunch at twelve... sleep at eleven.
Norton glanced at his watch, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Just at twelve, he could start.
"Ring ring! Ring ring!"
Sinai was startled awake by the alarm, giving her a fright.
She opened her phone, searched around, and found an app hidden in the folder.
Sinai clicked to uninstall.
The app made no move to uninstall, and the alarm kept ringing.
Sinai frowned slightly, entering a program into her phone, intending to forcibly crush the app through the backend, but still failed.
Charlotte walked in, curious, "Professor Sinai, what’s wrong?"
"My phone seems to have a virus." Sinai propped her jaw on her hand, "But aside from this app I can’t delete, there’s no other problem."
Having studied chanical Engineering, although not as skilled as the Computer Science Academy students, her skills aren’t bad.
What kind of virus was this powerful?
"Then just get a new one." Charlotte suggested, "It’s the weekend, Professor Sinai, you’ve been working for days. Take a break, let’s go out for a walk."
She waved her phone, "I bought two Live house tickets; co on, let’s have so fun."
Sinai thought for a mont: "Alright."
This app was strange. As soon as she stopped working, it fell silent.
Like it was monitoring her.

On the other side.
Luonan.
Luo Xiu was carried back.
Such a situation hadn’t occurred in the Luo Family before.
Father Luo rushed forward, "Ziqiu, quickly check how your uncle is."
Luo Ziqiu nodded, diagnosed, and then frowned, "Sha energy has entered the body, it’s a problem. Even if he wakes up, his abilities might be lost."
Father Luo was dazed, "Huh?"
It was at this ti that Luo Xiu slowly regained consciousness, his gaze still vacant.
"Uncle, what happened to you in O Continent, who did you encounter?"
