The Host Has Fallen for the Second Female Lead Again - Chapter 109

In reality, Ji Mingxiao already had a good idea of their status from their positions; they were all standing in the corners, not a single one in the front row.

She tapped the table.

Clearly, these people were marginal figures, but to cause trouble in Ling Mountain without interference from the Xuanxue organization, there must be a powerful figure behind them.

She clenched her fists, and a thought of Qin Xiu made her lips curl.

Even marginal figures could yell at Qin Xiu, which showed how low Qin Xiu’s status was in that organization.

She stretched.

Qin Xiu’s talent was good. If she hadn’t caused trouble, she could have become an elder even if she couldn’t be the head of the Qin family.

Why did she do this?

Ji Mingxiao’s hand paused as she looked at the talisman paper on the table.

Qin Xiu, has she awakened an AI?

Her behavior was too illogical. To bring her down, she would join such an organization?

Ji Mingxiao clenched her fists and put the finished talisman paper into her bag.

“Miss Qin?”

“I want to go back and rest first,” Ji Mingxiao said. “Don’t enter Ling Mountain on your own.”

“Okay.”

Ji Mingxiao followed Qin Xu back to the room, and they got into the car.

“Let’s get more people to go to Ling Mountain,” Qin Xu said. “This time, don’t go alone.”

“No rush, we’ll wait for Zhou Wei to come back.” Ji Mingxiao sent several messages to Xianyu.

Xianyu finally replied.

[Zhou Wei: Don’t worry, I’m on my way to K City. I’ll arrive tomorrow, don’t forget to pick me up at the airport.]

[Qin Wan: Okay.]

[Zhou Wei: Don’t act on your own first, but I feel like you’ve probably figured out where the AI is.]

[Qin Wan: Is it really?]

[Zhou Wei: As a cold-blooded and ruthless person, I’d rather kill the wrong one than let one go. I’ve already earned 50,000 points. You should work hard.]

[Qin Wan: Erase?]

[Zhou Wei: ??? Why would you kill? There are free items in the mall. You just have to capture them.]

Ji Mingxiao was speechless.

That’s it?

That’s it???

That’s it????

And this could be called a hunting mission. She found an item in the mall, a spherical ball that reminded her of a Poké Ball from her childhood.

She had only asked for a week off. Four days had already passed, leaving three. Three days were probably not enough to get things done.

So she asked Officer Wang to help her apply for more leave again.

The counselor was a bit shocked when he received the call. He thought it was a scam call until he found out Ji Mingxiao was a special consultant for the police station, and then he fell silent again.

He wanted to ask others, but he was told to keep it a secret.

After all, who knew what kind of mission she was on.

Ji Mingxiao didn’t know what Officer Wang had said. In any case, she felt the counselor’s attitude was very strange.

She didn’t think too much about it.

The day Xianyu arrived in K City, Ji Mingxiao went to the airport to pick her up.

Although she didn’t have much of an impression of Zhou Wei’s appearance, she spotted her at a glance.

Xianyu’s head-turning rate was 100% as she walked from the airport.

She could be said to be very high-profile.

She was with five people in total. Xianyu walked at the very front, turning the airport into a runway with a powerful aura that said, “Don’t mess with me.” Behind her were two men and two women, helping with the luggage. All four of them were very good-looking.

Ji Mingxiao remembered Xianyu saying that the two of them were a bit alike.

But she felt that she shouldn’t be so arrogant and high-profile.

“Do you think I have a similar vibe to Xianyu?”

Xi Ruan was stunned for a moment, glanced at Xianyu, and then at Ji Mingxiao. “Yes, you both have a very ‘cool’ vibe.”

Ji Mingxiao: ???

She felt that she was very approachable now and already very low-key.

“Host, do you have a wrong perception of yourself?” The system A complained.

Xianyu saw the two of them, waved, and then walked over.

“Qin Wan,” Xianyu took off her sunglasses and raised her eyebrows at Ji Mingxiao.

“Senior Sister Zhou.”

The two of them looked at each other and shook hands.

Xianyu glanced at Xi Ruan but didn’t say anything.

The group walked out together.

Ji Mingxiao and Xi Ruan walked side by side. Xi Ruan floated around the two of them, sighing with emotion.

“You are indeed a little more reserved than her,” Xi Ruan said in a low voice.

Ji Mingxiao: …

Xianyu heard Xi Ruan’s words and raised her eyebrows. “What’s the point of being reserved? There’s no need.”

Then she looked at Ji Mingxiao.

“If the world didn’t mismatch me, I would have been the protagonist. I never thought I’d have to play a supporting role for someone else,” Xianyu said with a little emotion.

Ji Mingxiao: …

Ji Mingxiao gave Xianyu an annoyed look and muttered to the system, “Thanks, but she and I are completely different.”

She drove her own car and didn’t expect so many people, so she had to have the four others rent a car. Xianyu and Ji Mingxiao were in one car.

Xianyu sat directly in the back seat. Ji Mingxiao narrowed her eyes. “I’m not a driver.”

“I’m so much older than you. What’s wrong with driving for someone so much older than you? I don’t like to sit in the passenger seat.”

Ji Mingxiao: …

It seemed to make sense. After all, Xianyu was so old. Was it normal for her to like to put on airs?

“What’s the situation now?” Xianyu asked.

Ji Mingxiao told her about the Ling Mountain incident in detail.

Xianyu touched her chin. “I’m already here, so why are they still targeting you?”

“I want to know too. My vibe is clearly completely different from yours, so why do I have to be your scapegoat?”

Xianyu: …

“Why are you so disgusted? My vibe is so unique; others would beg for it.”

Ji Mingxiao rolled her eyes again and said nothing.

“Please respect your elders,” Xianyu narrowed her eyes. “These young girls nowadays.”

She smacked her lips, shook her head, and let out a long sigh.

“According to my investigation, Xianyu should be from ancient times. She was probably a princess or something before, so…” System A reminded.

“She’s a princess? I’m an emperor at my company.”

Ji Mingxiao snorted.

System A: …

They had been thinking about whether the two would cooperate, but now they were worried the two wouldn’t start a fight.

Xi Ruan didn’t understand why the smell of gunpowder was suddenly so strong in the car.

Perhaps one mountain can’t hold two tigers?

“Let’s go straight to Ling Mountain,” Xianyu said.

“So directly?”

“Are you scared?”

“You’re overthinking it. Didn’t you bring four burdens with you?”

“I’m awesome. One person for four burdens, no problem,” Xianyu said.

Ji Mingxiao thought about the things she had brought and drove straight to Ling Mountain.

The silent Xi Ruan expressed: …

“Why didn’t any of you ask for my opinion?” Xi Ruan had a headache. “Didn’t you promise the Qin family you’d go together to take a look?”

“What are you afraid of? Xianyu is here. She can handle six burdens.”

Xi Ruan: …

“Heh, little girl, you don’t know how powerful your Senior Sister Xianyu is.”

“Senior Sister Xianyu.”

Xi Ruan: ???

“You guys aren’t going to fight, are you?”

“What a joke, how could we possibly fight?” Ji Mingxiao said.

“Exactly.”

Xi Ruan: I’m sorry, I don’t understand you two.

Why do they call her Xianyu? She’s clearly not.

There were obviously very few people on the road to Ling Mountain, and it was no problem to drive at 200 mph.

Xi Ruan looked around and shivered. “It’s a good thing we came in the morning.”

“But we’ll probably have to wait until night. Some things can only be seen at night,” Xianyu said.

“Huh?” Xi Ruan cried out.

“It’s fine, I’ll protect you,” Ji Mingxiao said.

Xi Ruan was a little sad. “I actually think my ability is quite strong.”

“Then you should work hard. One is worth ten thousand points.”

Xi Ruan nodded, then suddenly realized that she could also capture AIs.

Of course, she wouldn’t say this out loud. She felt there was a 100% chance she would be laughed at if she did.

After all, this Xianyu really didn’t seem easy to get along with.

Xi Ruan glanced at Xianyu again. She was sitting in the back seat with her back straight, her hands clasped on her knees. She didn’t understand why she was sitting like that in a car.

The two looked at each other, and Xi Ruan quickly retreated into the jade pendant.

Xianyu snorted. She wasn’t that scary.

The car slowly stopped.

Ji Mingxiao parked the car, and all seven people from both cars got out.

“You all wait here. I’ll go up with them,” Xianyu said to the four people.

“Didn’t you say you could handle four burdens?”

Xianyu blinked and looked at Ji Mingxiao. “I just thought about it, and it’s better to handle two. Alas, after all, I don’t know what your skill level is. It’s better to be safe.”

“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Ancestor Xianyu.”

The two looked at each other, sparks flying.

Xi Ruan covered her face.

The system didn’t want to speak either.

“Thank you. After this collaboration, it’s best if you two don’t work together again,” System A said. They had been getting along fine over messages, so why was it like this as soon as they met?

The two entered the mountain, and it was very quiet.

Ji Mingxiao felt that it was different from when she came last time.

Xianyu had already stopped.

“Did you feel anything?”

Ji Mingxiao was silent for a few seconds and looked around. “No, did you?”

“No, that’s why I’m asking you.” Xianyu said it very frankly.

Ji Mingxiao’s mouth twitched slightly.

The last time she came in and out, she didn’t take the normal route, so she wasn’t familiar with this section of the road up the mountain.

When they reached halfway up the mountain, the strange feeling became even stronger.

Ji Mingxiao and Xianyu stopped at the same time.

“There’s something ahead.”

“And quite a lot.” Xianyu’s eyes lit up, and she had already taken out her item. “It’s all money.”

Xi Ruan emerged on her own, holding a “Poké Ball.”

A group of people not far ahead was looking at them.

“Qin Wan is quite bold. She only brought two people this time.”

“Why aren’t they moving forward?”

“Move!”

“These two are both mission takers. They must have sensed something was wrong.”
