Why did they mistake me for the Holy Child of the Miracle Order?
Lu Yibei gazed at Shem and Saleh in front of her, carefully recalling her recent experiences, but found nothing.
How did a jinx like me get associated with the word "miracle"?
Could it be that pulling the guaranteed item every time in gacha, being severely injured but not fatally in a car accident, or encountering urban legend incidents that inevitably lead to major events, also count as miracles?
If that were the case, the Miracle Order might as well change its name to the Disaster Order!
Lu Yibei couldn't figure out the reason for a moment. After weighing the strength difference between herself and the two people in front of her and confirming that even if she acted recklessly, her life wouldn't be in danger, she came up with a bold plan.
She withdrew her thoughts, organized her words, and expressionlessly asked Shem and Saleh, "I didn't expect you to find your way here. This is quite surprising to me, but..."
"How did you find me? I clearly hid myself very well for this operation!"
If you have a question about something, what method is more convenient and faster than asking the person involved directly?
Lu Yibei already knew through the Monster Story Chat Group that the Miracle Order was searching for something, traveling through multiple countries, creating Spiritual Energy attack incidents along the way, and finally arriving in Z Country.
Shortly after entering the country, their Holy Child got lost.
But...
That was just what they *thought* happened.
Who said this Holy Child got lost? How could such a grown person get lost? I clearly wanted to act alone and secretly create a miracle!
"It's a miracle, a miracle guided us to your side!" Saleh blurted out, his face flushed with excitement as he spoke.
Lu Yibei, "..."
Seeing this, Shem quickly nudged Saleh with his elbow and whispered, "Saleh! In front of the Holy Child, you must not be rude!"
After saying that, he paused for a moment, turned to look at Lu Yibei, cupped his fists, and said, "Reporting to the Holy Child, the miracle flower eternally blooms on your body. Its intoxicating fragrance, like the North Star, always guides us and leads us to your side!"
Lu Yibei, "..."
Damn it! People from your Miracle Order can't speak like normal humans, can they?
The miracle flower blooming on me? That sounds like some kind of skin disease!
Although she was inwardly complaining about Shem's confusing statement, Lu Yibei still pretended to have understood, nodding her head, "Mm, I see, but..."
Mid-sentence, her demeanor suddenly changed. Her expression darkened, she abruptly raised her hand and pointed at Shem and Saleh, raising her voice slightly and coldly demanding, "Do you two know your crime?!"
As she spoke, Royalty quietly activated. A faint golden light flashed across Lu Yibei's fair skin, enveloping her body.
In an instant, her petite body, only one meter fifty-eight tall, seemed to have an aura that reached three meters seventy!
Seeing the look of fear on Shem and Saleh's faces, she quickly stepped forward and aggressively pressed on, "I ask you, do you still remember what we came to Z Country to search for?"
Lie if you can! If not, knock them out and send them to Da Chunyang Palace to "surrender"!
"The, the holy relic of the first generation..." Saleh weakly replied.
Shem glanced at Saleh but didn't speak, seemingly tacitly approving his answer.
Lu Yibei, "..." The holy relic of the first generation? What is that?
"Heh!" Lu Yibei tilted her chin slightly upwards, squinted at the two, and sneered, "Looks like you still remember! Then let me ask you again, have you found it?"
Not bad, not bad, my acting is improving!
"Reporting to the Holy Child!" Shem cupped his fists and said, "We have already found three holy relics: the right eye, the heart, and the toe. The finger and the heart are still..."
"You haven't completely found them, so why are you looking for me?" Before Shem could finish, Lu Yibei sharply interrupted, "Or are you saying you think I cannot create a miracle by acting alone?"
Finger? I think I understand why they came looking for me! That rod-shaped object that fell out after the mingwang statue was damaged is probably the finger they are looking for.
However, if you want me to hand it over, no way! Have you ever seen someone give away the goose that lays golden eggs?
They say it belongs to the Miracle Order, but who can prove it? If they call out to it, will it answer? Lu Yibei thought to herself.
Hearing Lu Yibei's words, Shem and Saleh immediately looked terrified, and Saleh's body even began to tremble.
For a member of the Order to question the Holy Child's ability to create miracles is a great sin!
Shem lowered his head and quickly explained, "Holy Child, please calm your anger, Holy Child, please calm your anger. Your presence on earth is a miracle itself, we dare not have the slightest doubt, but..."
"But?" Lu Yibei narrowed her eyes slightly.
"It's just that you left without leaving any message, and the members of the Order are all very worried about your safety..."
"Hmph, ignorant!" Lu Yibei snorted, "I just wanted to secretly create a miracle and then amaze everyone!"
Hearing this, Shem and Saleh suddenly understood. They exchanged glances and nodded.
This style of action is like the bud of a miracle flower quietly growing in the dark night, and then blooming magnificently the moment the morning sun shines upon it.
Just thinking about it makes one intoxicated by the fragrance of that grand miracle!
As expected of the Holy Child!
Immediately after, Shem looked at Lu Yibei again and tentatively asked, "Holy Child, then shall we two... leave now?"
"No need!" Lu Yibei waved her hand, "There's an old saying in Z Country:'Since you're already here...'"
"Since you've found me, stay and help me with a small matter! However, don't reveal my whereabouts to other members of the Order for now, it's not the right time."
Deceiving just these two is barely manageable...
If the members of the Miracle Order currently in Z Country swarmed into Shizhou City, setting aside whether they would be caught in one fell swoop by Da Chunyang Palace, just considering the Miracle Order's way of doing things, with more people, I might not be able to fool my way through!
If a few more capable ones show up and force me to create "miracles," wouldn't that be putting me on a hot seat? Lu Yibei thought.
"Understood!" Shem and Saleh responded in unison, excitedly.
To be able to stay by the Miracle Saint's side and participate in the process of the Holy Child creating miracles, even if it's just a trivial matter, is a great honor for every member of the Miracle Order.
Lu Yibei secretly observed the two and was satisfied when they readily agreed.
Since they are convinced that I am the Miracle Saint, I might as well go along with it and reluctantly borrow their strength for now. freewebnovёl.ƈom
The investigation into Hu Chuan's whereabouts has reached a deadlock, they might be able to help. As for later...
Whether to part ways with them, give them a Night Watch report gift package, or lead the Miracle Order to surrender, I'll decide based on the situation first!
While Lu Yibei was pondering, Saleh eagerly asked, "Holy Child, what do we need to do next? Should we bomb Shizhou City Airport, or set fire to Bu Ye Street?"
No, are you only happy when you cause trouble? Lu Yibei looked at Saleh, wanting to speak but hesitating.
"Presumptuous!" Shem growled, glaring at Saleh, "How can you dictate what the Holy Child wants to do?"
Mm-hmm! That's right, spread love, not destruction! Lu Yibei nodded.
"However..." Shem looked at Lu Yibei, changing the subject, "Holy Child, do you think a night raid on Da Chunyang Palace is feasible? We have intelligence suggesting that the Brain holy relic might be hidden within Da Chunyang Palace."

Lu Yibei, "???"
That's why I hate these reckless people from the Miracle Order the most!
Three... no, not counting me, you two are going to raid Da Chunyang Palace at night? Why do you want to die so badly?
Even if there's a one in a billion chance of success, how is that different from just giving yourselves up?
"There's no rush for this now, I have other plans." Lu Yibei waved her hand, "You two now..."
Mid-sentence, she paused slightly and turned to look at the unconscious Fang Ji beside her, "First, help me arrange this Miss."
Shem glanced at Fang Ji, his face openly showing disgust, "Understood. If you leave him to us, not even a bone fragment will be left. He will miraculously disappear from this world!"
"That's right, the Elder and I are always clean with our hands!" Saleh echoed.
"..." Lu Yibei raised her hand to her forehead and said exasperatedly, "What I mean is, take good care of her, and send her back to Zhenwu Mountain Scenic Area when it's light. Don't mess anything up!"
I still need Miss Fang to help me infiltrate the Secret Society. If you make her disappear, won't I have to go myself?
Hearing this, Saleh cast a confused look at Shem. He couldn't understand why the Holy Child wanted to keep this person who reeked of bad luck.
Seeing this, Shem thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he whispered, "The Holy Child must intend to use the bad luck on him to disrupt Da Chunyang Palace, like poisoning."
"This..." Saleh muttered softly, "Isn't that a bit despicable?"
"Don't speak nonsense! How can something miraculous be called despicable?"
...
Seeing the two whispering, Lu Yibei pondered for two seconds and said, "Let's leave it at this for today! Do a good job with what I've told you. If there are no problems, I'm going to create a miracle!"
Hearing this, Shem seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly said, "Holy Child, please wait a moment, this subordinate has a small matter to report!"
Lu Yibei tilted her head, "Speak!"
"Yes!" Shem said, "We two previously discovered someone tailing you with ill intentions, so we took it upon ourselves to repel them!"
"Can you determine their background?"
"This subordinate is incompetent and couldn't determine it, but when we were fighting them, one of them dropped this!"
As he spoke, Shem took a circular object made of unknown metal from his Pregnant and handed it to Lu Yibei with both hands.
Complex lines were engraved on it, forming a polyhedral emblem, seemingly some kind of special badge.
"Oh?" Lu Yibei took the badge from Shem's hand, examined it, and gradually frowned.
My spiritual sense did detect someone following me before, and then they suddenly disappeared. So it was them?
I haven't seen this badge before! Those people were following me after I came out of "Moon Smearing, Wind Criticizing". Could it be because /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ I investigated Hu Chuan?
If that's the case, this badge is a very important clue!
After thinking for a while, Lu Yibei nodded to Shem and said, "You did a good job. I'll keep this for now. Go and do what I told you!"
"Understood!" Shem and Saleh responded in unison, quickly walked over, lifted Fang Ji from left and right, and quickly left the alley.
Watching the three leave, Lu Yibei withdrew her gaze and looked at the badge she was playing with in her hand, muttering to herself, "Let Netizen Laosepi help me check this..."
"Right, also ask him to help locate that guy Lin Nian!"
----
11:34 PM, an old residential area two kilometers away from Bu Ye Street.
Lin Nian confirmed for the fifth time that "Gu Qianqian" hadn't sent her any messages to harass her, put away her phone, and pushed up her round glasses.
"Gu Qianqian isn't as formidable as I thought!"
"She doesn't know where I live, so is she going to come find trouble with me through the internet? I don't know what I was so scared of just now?"
After muttering to herself, she shrugged, carried the box of seafood wontons in her hand, and walked lightly towards the six-story building in front.
These He Ji seafood wontons were something her Grandpa loved to eat. Before her Grandpa got sick, he would eat them every night after finishing work at "Moon Smearing, Wind Criticizing".
Today, she finally made a profit, so she brought a portion back for her Grandpa on her way home.
In the narrow stairwell of the small building, the light was dim, the walls were covered with various small advertisements vying for attention, and an unpleasant smell hung in the air.
After entering the building, Lin Nian didn't stop for a moment and quickly returned to her home on the fourth floor.
"Grandpa, I'm back! Look what I brought you?"
Lin Nian had just put down her keys and called out to the room when she looked up and saw the scene in the living room. Instantly, the hairs on her body stood on end, and she froze in place.
The lights in the living room were off. The light from Bu Ye Street outside the window outlined the blurry shapes of things in the living room.
She could vaguely see a person sitting on the sofa, facing the direction of the front door.
The entire person looked dark, like an actor from the Detective Conan crew who had wandered onto the wrong set.
The moment Lin Nian looked at that person, the person silently stood up, pointed towards the direction of Lin Nian's Grandpa's bedroom, and then slowly walked towards her, their weapon reflecting flashes of cold light in their hand.
An unsettling Spiritual Energy fluctuation quietly enveloped the entire room.
Seeing this, Lin Nian's heart immediately leaped into her throat. She held her breath, sweat beads formed on her forehead, and her palms felt a tingling numbness as if from an electric shock.
Is, is it Gu Qianqian? How did she find my home? Was her gesture just now implying that she had already done something to Grandpa?
Damn it, according to the rules of the jianghu, trouble shouldn't involve family. Why doesn't this Gu Qianqian follow the rules?
What should I do, what should I do!
While Lin Nian was thinking anxiously, the front door behind her was suddenly knocked.
"Bang bang bang!"
The sudden sound from behind startled Lin Nian. Her body trembled, and the seafood wontons in her hand fell to the ground with a "Splat!".
Immediately after, the knocking sounded again, more violently.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Lin Nian, open the door! I know you're in there, I heard a sound inside just now! You have the guts to cheat people out of money, do you have the guts to open the door?!"
"You cheated Gu Qianqian out of her money and still want to run? Believe it or not, I'll swallow you whole!"
Lin Nian, "???"
Gu Qianqian? If the person outside the door is Gu Qianqian, then who is the person inside the room?
Lin Nian thought, turned her head to look at the person who was approaching her, and saw that the person stopped about four or five steps away from her, their body hidden in the shadows. They raised their hand and made a shushing gesture towards her, followed by a throat-slitting gesture.
Don't make a sound, otherwise... death!
Seeing this, Lin Nian was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth, turned around abruptly, and pulled open the door...
