“Wait! Are you saying you want me to go to Yumen Pass as a Night Watch agent?” Lu Yibei asked, startled, looking at Inspector Xing Yuan.
Not as a urban legend within the Night Watch’s official prepared by after signing The Moonlight Plan Contract, nor as Hua City Night Watch agent Lu Yibei, but as an unknown Night Watch agent.
After repeatedly confirming Inspector Xing Yuan’s expression, seeing her determined eyes and slightly upturned lips, looking very certain, Lu Yibei felt a bit bewildered.
This was not what she had expected; it was completely unrelated.
“Actually, you don’t need to make such a fuss.” Inspector Xing Yuan slowly swirled her goblet and said, “Although this plan carries some risk, there’s no more suitable method for now.”
Lu Yibei sized up Inspector Xing Yuan, then looked down at her slightly bulging chest, questioning, “What are you thinking? In my current state, how can I go as a Night Watch agent?”
“I originally thought what you meant by ‘legitimate’ was signing The Moonlight Plan Contract!”
For Hua City Night Watch agent Lu Yibei to be ordered to support Yumen Pass, there would naturally be no problem, but if it were Hua City Monster King Disaster, then there would be a problem.
Allowing a notorious wanted criminal to openly infiltrate an official organization?
Even novels wouldn’t dare write something like that.
Is this not some new type of scam to trick urban legend into surrendering? Lu Yibei thought.
Hearing this, Inspector Xing Yuan rolled her eyes at Lu Yibei and said, “If you signed The Moonlight Plan Contract and then were dispatched to Yumen Pass for support, it would indeed be legitimate, but would you sign it?”
Lu Yibei, “...”
Actually, there was nothing she couldn’t sign.
Anyway, she had already tampered with The Moonlight Plan Contract once when helping Wang Yingying escape.
If she absolutely had to sign The Moonlight Plan Contract to go to Yumen Pass, she wouldn’t mind tampering with it again.
Lu Yibei thought, then probed, “May I ask, if the plan you’re talking about isn’t signing The Moonlight Plan Contract, then what is it? Just tell me directly so I can have some idea.”
To be honest, she was quite curious about a method that would allow a urban legend like her to smoothly infiltrate the Night Watch team.
“Simply put, it’s just creating a fake identity.” Inspector Xing Yuan explained with a shallow smile, and as she spoke, she stood up and took out a thick stack of documents from her handbag, placing them on the dining table.
“This isn’t a spur-of-the-moment idea of mine; I started preparing it from the moment you refused to sign The Moonlight Plan Contract.”
“Originally, it was prepared for when you might commit a crime someday and have to flee, to hide your identity and buy time. I didn’t expect it to be used early this time.”
Lu Yibei looked at the document bag on the table, then at Inspector Xing Yuan, and blinked blankly.
Good heavens! Who would have thought that Inspector Xing Yuan, this upright Superintendent, would also learn such tricky maneuvers like creating alternate accounts and disguises?
Sitting back down next to Lu Yibei, Inspector Xing Yuan skillfully opened the document bag, took out the documents, and handed them to Lu Yibei, gently raising them, “Anyway, let’s take a look first, shall we? I’ve gone to great lengths to create this fake identity for you!” frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Although she somewhat disliked Lu Yibei always causing trouble, Lu Yibei was Bai Kai’s junior whom he treated like his own child, so she couldn’t just watch Lu Yibei truly be captured by the Night Watch.
Lu Yibei took the document bag from Inspector Xing Yuan’s hand with suspicion, quickly opened it, took out the documents, and roughly scanned them, her eye twitching uncontrollably.
Lu Qingyi... Da Chunyang Palace disciple... excellent graduate... Sect Leader special approval...
A massive amount of information flooded her mind at once, and Lu Yibei suddenly felt her brain wasn’t enough, her mind full of question marks.
What the heck? What’s going on? When did I become an excellent graduate of Da Chunyang Palace?
And also hardworking, with strong interpersonal skills, able to integrate well into various positions...
Why do I feel like this is describing Fu Xinyi and not me? Lu Yibei thought with a complicated mood.
From her perspective, the description of her in this document, similar to a “Da Chunyang Palace academic record,” was at least seventy to eighty percent similar to Fu Xinyi; the only difference was that she wasn’t as popular as Fu Xinyi.
After a moment, seeing that Lu Yibei didn’t speak, Inspector Xing Yuan continued, “You might not know, but almost every so often, a portion of excellent Da Chunyang Palace disciples, after graduating, do not take up positions in the Night Watch of a certain city, but instead go directly to the front lines of combat against urban legend.”
“And recently, the situation at Yumen Pass has been severe, with many agents dispatched from all over the country to provide support. Under these circumstances, isn’t it very reasonable for an excellent Da Chunyang Palace disciple, carrying documents personally signed by the Southwest Region Superintendent, to go for support?”
“Anyway, there are so many Night Watch agents going to support Yumen Pass. As long as you don’t mess around and arouse suspicion, no one should be idle enough to spend a lot of time and energy investigating your background. The only relatively troublesome thing is that you’ll have to learn some unique Da Chunyang Palace Spells and Body Technique in a short time.”
“That way, even if you encounter Night Watch agents also from Da Chunyang Palace, you’ll be able to handle it, after all, there are so many Da Chunyang Palace disciples, even fellow disciples don’t necessarily know each other.”
Lu Yibei, “...” This is truly ♦ legitimate.
With the Superintendent’s personal endorsement, combined with the various Da Chunyang Palace Spells and Body Technique learned from Qingji, plus the Coat’s ability to conceal Spiritual Energy fluctuations and alter body shape to a certain extent, there would be absolutely no problem in disguising herself as an excellent graduate of Da Chunyang Palace.
This is like a pirated product whose appearance, function, quality, and anti-counterfeit labels are all identical to the real thing, or even better; who could say it’s fake?
As long as Lu Yibei herself didn’t want to expose her identity, it would be almost impossible for anyone to find fault.
Unless some Night Watch-level super-large Spiritual Energy organization, with nothing better to do, expended a huge amount of manpower and resources to investigate, only then might they find a tiny clue.
If she could also collude with Zhang Huainan beforehand, then this plan would become flawless.
After all, no matter how suspicious it might seem, as long as the Da Chunyang Palace Sect Leader personally acknowledged “Lu Qingyi” as a Da Chunyang Palace disciple, then “Lu Qingyi” was a genuine Da Chunyang Palace disciple!
Could it be that the esteemed Da Chunyang Palace Sect Leader, Night Watch Guardian Black Emperor, would lie?
After a moment, seeing that Lu Yibei hadn’t responded, Inspector Xing Yuan thought Lu Yibei still had concerns and patted her shoulder, saying, “Actually, you don’t need to worry too much. Didn’t you participate in Da Chunyang Palace’s spring refresher course before? You must have learned something, right?”
“I’ve participated in several refresher courses before and have a decent grasp of their Spells and Body Technique. If I tutor you intensively for a few days, it should be barely enough.”
Lu Yibei turned to look at Inspector Xing Yuan, hesitated several times, then spoke, “You might not believe me, but I not only know Da Chunyang Palace’s unique Spells and Body Technique, but also the Taihe Gentleman Sword Illustration.”
And my proficiency is even higher than some Elders... Lu Yibei added in her mind.
The fake identity Inspector Xing Yuan arranged for her fit her so perfectly, it was seamless. For a moment, she even suspected if Inspector Xing Yuan had colluded with that Old man Zhang Huainan beforehand to set a trap for her.
“Ah?” Inspector Xing Yuan paused, then quickly regained her composure, her expression turning tense as she lowered her voice and asked, “You can’t just say things like that! Where did you learn it?”
She had long heard of the Taihe Gentleman Sword Illustration and knew it was a sword technique that almost only Da Chunyang Palace Sect Leader, Elders, or core disciples at the Sect Leader candidate level were qualified to learn.
Although she had known about Lu Yibei attending the spring {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} refresher course at Da Chunyang Palace, and also about the Pink Fluffy Rabbit incident that broke out at Da Chunyang Palace while Lu Yibei was there.
But she didn’t know exactly what happened then, to what extent Lu Yibei was involved, or any of the details, let alone Lu Yibei’s relationship with Zhang Huainan.
As for Lu Yibei having used the Taihe Gentleman Sword Illustration during the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, let alone her, who hadn’t personally witnessed the sword techniques from the Taihe Gentleman Sword Illustration, even Fu Xinyi would confidently say that it was the Taihe Gentleman Sword Illustration she had learned.
Therefore, upon hearing Lu Yibei claim to have mastered the Taihe Gentleman Sword Illustration, Inspector Xing Yuan almost immediately imagined a scene where, when the Pink Fluffy Rabbit caused chaos in Da Chunyang Palace, Disaster took advantage of the confusion to sneak deep into Da Chunyang Palace and steal various classics.
As Lu Yibei’s elder, her current feeling was like receiving a call from a Teacher asking parents to come to school, initially thinking her child only had minor issues like early dating, tardiness, or declining grades, only to arrive at school and find out it was a serious incident like assaulting the principal during the flag-raising ceremony or detonating the chemistry lab.
The nature of the matter suddenly became serious.
“This... please don’t overthink it.” Noticing Inspector Xing Yuan’s change in expression, Lu Yibei hurriedly patted her chest and assured, “My Taihe Gentleman Sword Illustration’s origin is absolutely legitimate, even if you bring Black Emperor to confront me face to face, he wouldn’t find any fault!”
His Taihe Gentleman Sword Illustration was taught to him by the Ancestor.
In a way, I’m still his junior sister!
What could possibly be wrong with that? Lu Yibei thought secretly.
Inspector Xing Yuan narrowed her eyes and sized up Lu Yibei, “Really?”
“Really! Truer than the banknotes issued by the Z Country People’s Bank!”
“...” Seeing Lu Yibei bring up Black Emperor, Inspector Xing Yuan briefly fell silent, then chose to believe her words and nodded, “If it’s true, isn’t that even better?”
When she forged this identity for Lu Yibei, she considered various factors such as Lu Yibei’s experiences and the abilities she possessed. Now that Lu Yibei claimed to have mastered the Taihe Gentleman Sword Illustration, it was like adding another layer of security.
Who would be idle enough to question the identity of someone who might be a Da Chunyang Palace Sect Leader candidate disciple?
“Since the identity I prepared for you can be used, let’s move on to the next step, shall we?” Inspector Xing Yuan said, standing up again and taking out another document bag.
“Inside here is information on the Night Watch agents stationed at Yumen Pass, as well as Night Watch allies, and recent intelligence. Familiarize yourself with it first, alright?”
Lu Yibei’s gaze shifted to the document bag in Inspector Xing Yuan’s hand, and she nodded.
