After confirming the address, Xiang Xue and her companion did not rush to go there but waited for about an hour.

The torrential spring rain was still pouring down as they drove out.

Xiang Xue seemed a little upset, ”If we were monitored, they should have already gotten the stuff, right?”

Aunt Liu shook her head, ”Even if you don’t trust his skills, you should at least trust her intelligence, right?”

They didn’t head straight to the place, but took a big detour in the city before heading to their destination after putting away their watches.

However, neither of them was confident that they could evade the Watcher—the likelihood of being caught was greater.

The location was a standalone small courtyard that seemed uninhabited for a long time.

In Star No. 2, with its vast land and sparse population, such a situation was not uncommon.

They parked the car at the gate of the courtyard and directly climbed over the wall. Upon entering the yard, they headed to the kitchen.

The kitchen was empty, clearly giving the impression that it hadn’t been used in a long time.

Opening a cabinet door revealed a safe.

Xiang Xue asked Aunt Liu to guard the door—after all, she was also Wood Attribute, while Xiang Xue found the key to the safe around the corner.

After opening the safe, inside was a semi-transparent plastic bucket containing a crystalline object.

Xiang Xue picked up the plastic bucket and weighed it in her hand, frowning slightly, ”Just this much?”

At this moment, a voice shouting angrily came from the yard, and she frowned again, sighing helplessly.

Xiang Xue had the Storage Talisman with her, but putting the stuff into the talisman wouldn’t help since the other party would definitely search.

Aunt Liu stood guard outside, but she couldn’t stop the others from entering, only coldly expressing.

”Speak properly, no need for hands.”

However, the other party ignored her shout and forcibly broke into the kitchen.

Two men and one woman broke in, the woman was C-level, and the men one B-level and one C-level.

The B-level man looked at the plastic bucket in Xiang Xue’s hand, reached out, and spoke lightly, ”Hand it over.”

”Why should I?” Xiang Xue’s face darkened, ”Are you law enforcers planning to rob?”

The man ignored her and snatched it away, inspecting it while asking, ”What is this?”

”A poison targeting Fire Attributes,” Xiang Xue deliberately disgusted him, seeing that he was Fire Attribute.

”Targeting Fire Attribute?” The man’s face changed, and he immediately handed the plastic bucket to the female colleague beside him.

Although the woman was only C-level, she was Water Attribute and should have a relatively strong resistance to poisons targeting Fire Attributes.

The Fire Attribute man’s face was grim, ”Where did you get this poison targeting Fire Attributes?”

”Did I say Fire Attribute?” Xiang Xue gave him a sideways glance, ”Maybe it was a slip of the tongue, it should be Wood Attribute.”

”Wood Attribute?” The man’s expression still wasn’t good, obviously not believing her words.

Knowing the other party might be intentionally disgusting him, but this kind of disgusting method was too irritating.

He stopped looking at the plastic bucket and stared at Xiang Xue, ”Where did you get the poison, was it from Panda?”

Xiang Xue looked at him, answering indifferently, ”I’m a bit curious whether Panda has poison targeting Fire Attributes.”

The man’s face changed, his ten fingers flexed as if he was about to make a move.

”Try making a move,” Aunt Liu spoke coldly, ”Robbing someone else’s stuff, and you think you’re in the right?”

The man’s face darkened, he really wanted to make a move, but he also knew the two women had strong backgrounds.

Otherwise, he would have already controlled them, just like another team did with Sofia.

He took a deep breath and spoke slowly, ”We highly suspect this is a Wood Attribute toxin made by Panda.”

”Before it’s verified, as evidence, we need to temporarily confiscate it.”

”Heh,” Xiang Xue laughed disdainfully, ”So you want to monopolize Wood Attribute toxins, I’ll spread this news.”

Hearing this, the man’s face changed again. If this news spread, wouldn’t all the Wood Attributes’ hatred be drawn to them?

The department where he belonged was very strict in law enforcement, but it didn’t mean they could withstand public outrage, involving one-fifth of the superpower warriors.

He sneered, ”We are just suspicious that you have deep collusion with Panda, and it seems necessary to invite you for tea.”

”We already know each other,” Xiang Xue answered nonchalantly, this wasn’t because she was stubborn but because she couldn’t deny it.

”As for the exchanges we have between us, it doesn’t bother the Imperial to worry.”

”He is a high-risk fugitive,” the man stated expressionlessly, ”Since you refuse to explain, we’ll consider you an accomplice!”

He wasn’t hesitant to act against this woman; it had little to do with Xiang Xue’s background.

To apprehend and arrest Panda, having the warrant was enough, but there were so many who knew Panda, he couldn’t possibly catch them all.

That would be accused of exacerbating conflicts.

And indiscriminately escalating conflicts, even the most powerful department couldn’t bear the consequences.

However, with the opponent being uncooperative now, he could consider taking action.

The reason was ready-made—you can hide transactions, you can hide whereabouts!

At that moment, a female voice came from outside the house.

”The Panda’s Wood Attribute toxic agent was provided to the Green Water Academy’s Agricultural College, in line with our research on new types of pesticides!”

With the voice, a tall and leggy beauty walked in from outside, it was Zi Jiu Immortal.

She looked at the Water Attribute female C-level opposite her and calmly extended her hand, ”Hand it over!”

”You this...” The B-level man was a bit stunned, he obviously recognized her—Panda and Xiang Xue were both her assistants!

He knew this woman wasn’t to be trifled with either, but this wasn’t his responsibility anyway. Each group keeps an eye on their own group.

However, now that she had come knocking, he had to deal with it. He frowned and impatiently spoke.

”You called it a research project, so it’s a project? Don’t obstruct our investigation, or else... we might have to take you with us.”

Zi Jiu Immortal wasn’t really afraid of this threat; she valued the process most, and her process wasn’t wrong, so she responded sternly.

”The Agricultural College has already decided on the project, and the project leader is Professor Sofia, with Dean of the Branch as the witness.”

Professor Sofia... The B-level man vaguely heard of this name, judging by the way she spoke, she might be an A-level.

The dean of the Agricultural College, that must be an A-level too, right?

Yet he still responded stubbornly, ”If that’s the case, have your college’s dean contact us.”

Zi Jiu Immortal looked at him with a half-smile, ”The project was facilitated by the old dean... Shall we have him contact you?”

”Old dean...” The B-level man’s face finally changed, ”Who is the old dean you’re talking about?”

”The Academy’s Guardian Supreme!” Zi Jiu Immortal spoke calmly, ”He’s very invested in this project.”

”Darn...” The man muttered softly, finally dared not persist further, and turned to leave.

He went out to dial a number, and after whispering a few words, returned.

His expression became increasingly grim, but he finally did not insist, he looked at Zi Jiu Immortal and spoke.

”We’ll verify this matter clearly; better keep your evidence safe, lest things are unclear in the future.”

Then he turned to Xiang Xue, ”If you have Panda’s contact information, hopefully, you’ll disclose it voluntarily, don’t mislead yourself.”

Xiang Xue completely ignored him and reached out to the Water Attribute female C-level, ”Return my stuff.”

The woman looked around, found no one speaking for her, silently placed the plastic bottle on the stove.

Before the man left, he swept his gaze over the three women and spoke coldly.

”To reiterate, Panda is suspected of serious crimes; anyone aware who fails to report will be jointly liable, no matter what backing you have!”

After saying this, he left without looking back.

However, despite his words, the three women didn’t take it seriously—you are looking for Panda, why the focus on the toxic agent?

The three were already very guilty for not being able to help Panda, at this point who would take his threat?

Zi Jiu Immortal hefted the bucket of Crystal, and could not help frowning, ”Only this much, concentrated?”

Aunt Liu also boldly took it up and weighed it, ”Only around ten kilograms... Jiu Immortal, do you want some?”

Zi Jiu Immortal thought for a moment with frowned brows and responded stoically, ”Give me two kilograms, we need to account to the Academy.”

She knew what Xiang Xue wanted this stuff for, Panda is now a wanted person, having someone to divert attention over there at Star One is best.

So her demand was low, only taking two kilograms.

But Xiang Xue still rolled her eyes at her, ”You’re riding on the autumn wind, fine, won’t bother with you.”

Zi Jiu Immortal casually responded, ”I’m not the only one who notified to come here, Panda also asked me to help out.”

Xiang Xue paused slightly upon hearing this, ”He thought about this together?”

Aunt Liu indifferently shook her head, ”I mentioned it, how could he not have some preparation?”

At this moment, Xiang Xue’s watch sent another message, ”Huh, another new address?”

”This time the stuff won’t be less,” Aunt Liu judged very subjectively, then looked at Zi Jiu Immortal, ”You need to invite an A-level.”

Zi Jiu Immortal nodded slightly, ”Professor Sofia is just outside, but he doesn’t want to see those people...”

Professor Sofia very much appreciated Panda, even wanted to bring him on as his assistant.

So with this inexplicable wanted notice, he also felt like complaining, but unfortunately, he really can’t help with the issue.

But when Zi Jiu Immortal asked him to come and collect some samples, he immediately agreed.

He just didn’t want to see those law enforcers because he was concerned he wouldn’t be able to control his emotions.

However, if those people had continued to pester, he would definitely have emerged.

The next place is more than three kilometers from here, a hotel.

Qu Jianlei hid the items on the top floor of the hotel, in a utility room.

This time there were a full ten plastic barrels and a sealed box.

Xiang Xue immediately collected that box and then looked to Zi Jiu Immortal, ”Forget it, you get one barrel, and I get ten barrels.”

Zi Jiu Immortal blinked, didn’t refuse, just sighed.

”This guy’s caution is at this level, I think he might live until the end of the universe.”
