WTYTIAAN Chapter 129

Yan Yunqing frowned, his thoughts racing, and finally closed the bounty mission interface.

This mission seemed to have nothing to do with him, after all, he had never even come into contact with the Heart of Morgan. But if the person who posted the mission was really from the Light Church, then his identity would be easily exposed.

After all, the content of Xavier’s entrance exam wasn’t difficult to find out. Any teacher with a bit of gossip knew that he had drawn the gold-level test question. The test content was to go to Mandipelle and become a top-notch alchemist.

If he became connected to Morgan, and the Light Church was looking for this Heart of Morgan, they would definitely investigate the people who were in Mandipelle that day. To make matters worse, Xavier’s letter of recommendation was from the Pope of the Light Church…

It was only a matter of time before they noticed him.

Yan Yunqing clicked his tongue and rubbed his temples. It seemed his identity as Xavier really couldn’t be used for long… But thankfully, at least for him, the Sigrit Academy could be considered his own people. With Merlin around, the Sigrit Academy couldn’t possibly become his enemy.

Yan Yunqing temporarily put these worries aside and went to the public message board of the Bounty Hunter Association. He was surprised to discover news from five months ago about the Bato King being attacked by assassins and currently on the verge of death, desperately seeking priests.

Five months ago?

Wasn’t that around the time he went to take down Fei Wu? That’s not right, he remembered that the Bato King only inhaled a few mouthfuls of thick smoke, he shouldn’t have suffered any serious injuries. How could he be on the verge of death?

Yan Yunqing stroked his chin: Could it be that the Second Prince couldn’t help but want to usurp the throne and took advantage of someone stirring up trouble to get rid of his own father in one fell swoop and ascend the throne?

That was very possible. After all, the Second Prince was already in his forties, and with an old, immortal father above him, it was normal for him to be anxious.

Speaking of which, he dumped the blame on the Second Prince back then, right? Could this pot have reminded the other party?

Yan Yunqing felt a little guilty, mainly towards Alice. Originally, with her father still in power, Alice would have more time to prepare for the usurpation. But if the Second Prince took the throne instead, the difficulty for Alice to pull the Second Prince down and take over would increase exponentially.

Tsk, it seemed he had to speed up Alice’s Emperor Teaching Plan.

After browsing through other messages, Yan Yunqing confirmed that the Norman Forest had been peaceful recently, at least on the surface.

Yan Yunqing finally felt relieved after hearing that the academy had increased the number of teachers participating in external training.

It seemed that the increase in external training instructors wasn’t due to any potential dangers in the Norman Forest.

Yan Yunqing didn’t take on any missions and left the Bounty Hunter Association of Buma City directly.

It was already approaching noon, and after rushing around all morning, Yan Yunqing was already starving. He wondered if he should go back to the academy and eat in the academy cafeteria, or simply stay in Buma City to solve his lunch.

Yan Yunqing hesitated for a while, and suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a familiar name passing by not far away.

Yan Yunqing thought he was seeing things and focused his eyes to take another look. It really was his roommate?

Demetrius?

Why would he appear in Buma City? According to him, if it wasn’t for class, he could stay in the dormitory and get moldy without ever stepping out, he wouldn’t even want to go out and get some sunlight.

Yan Yunqing had invited him to go out and buy supplies today, but was rejected. Yan Yunqing couldn’t figure out why this person would appear here.

Buma City, of all places?!

He even left the academy!

Yan Yunqing curiously looked at him a few more times and realized that something was wrong.

This… how was this person’s back view so different from Demetrius?

Yan Yunqing hesitated and followed Demetrius’s footsteps, deliberately walking faster to stay not far from Demetrius, which was just enough to clearly see Demetrius’s entire face – it was a completely unfamiliar face.

Yan Yunqing: ???

Yan Yunqing glanced at the name above the other party’s head again, which clearly displayed the words [Demetrius Lv.50].

The name was right, the level was right… this was Demetrius?

This face… wait a minute, could he have also used some special disguise skill?

Yan Yunqing raised an eyebrow, looking at Demetrius’s completely different way of walking from usual. His spine was straight, his shoulders relaxed, and his posture was relaxed, but unconsciously revealed a hint of tense muscles, enough to show that even while walking, he was always on guard.

As if sensing Yan Yunqing’s gaze, Demetrius’s gaze shot over the next second. Yan Yunqing didn’t panic at all, just inconspicuously shifted his gaze, focusing on the small stall not far away, pretending that the eye contact just now was just a coincidence.

He was still wearing the Joker alias, and Demetrius hadn’t seen Joker before, so it didn’t matter if he was discovered. At most, he would just be looked at a few more times.

Sure enough, Demetrius looked at him thoughtfully for a while and turned to leave.

Yan Yunqing stood in place, watching Demetrius’s departing back, feeling somewhat curious.

Did this kid have two faces inside and outside the academy? Was that social phobic image all a disguise?

Yan Yunqing blinked his eyes. As Demetrius’s back gradually disappeared, Yan Yunqing raised his foot and chased after him directly, following not too closely.

After all, he was a teammate. As the team leader, he should have a heart of care for his teammates – he was really curious about what Demetrius was going to do!

However, Demetrius was too vigilant. Even though Yan Yunqing had reduced his presence, Demetrius, who had been followed for a while, noticed that someone was following him.

Demetrius frowned, glanced at the nearby road, quickened his pace, and turned into a small alley. The moment he entered the alley, he quickly jumped onto the wall, waiting for the slight sound of footsteps to approach. When the sound was close at hand, Demetrius shouted sharply.

“Stop.”

At the same time, he also jumped down from the wall, landed on the ground, and looked in the direction of the sound. When he clearly saw the source of the sound, he couldn’t help but be slightly stunned.

“…A cat?”

A red-eyed black cat seemed to have been frightened, its fur standing on end as it glared at him, its entire back arched, and even a few hairs on its tail were startled off.

Demetrius looked around, making sure there was no one else nearby, and had to look at the frightened black cat in front of him, hesitating: Was it this black cat that had been following him all along?

Demetrius frowned, coldly scrutinizing the black cat, unable to see anything strange about the black cat, and could only attribute his feeling just now to an illusion.

Since there was no one, Demetrius didn’t continue to waste time tangling with a black cat in place, and walked directly towards the black cat’s back.

“Meow!” A miserable cat cry sounded, Demetrius’s footsteps paused, and he impatiently walked two steps to the side, avoiding the place where the black cat was, and strode outward.

The black cat meowed a few more times in place. Seeing Demetrius walking away, it didn’t relax its vigilance. It washed its fur in place, imitating the appearance of a real cat.

Not long after, Yan Yunqing saw that the small dot belonging to Demetrius on the small map had completely left, and the looming gaze had also disappeared.

The black cat tilted its head, gracefully took its first step, then quickly jumped onto the wall, and ran along the wall in the direction of Demetrius on the small map.

So vigilant? Then he was even more curious about what this mysterious roommate was going to do.

The black cat version of Yan Yunqing lightly jumped on the walls and eaves, occasionally passing under the clotheslines where a family was drying quilts and clothes. With a flick of its tail, a few black hairs flew onto the dried quilts.

The black cat’s gift (not)

He followed Demetrius with an extremely strange route. Although Demetrius felt that there was a gaze watching him the whole time, he had set up traps several times in preparation to wait for the rabbit, but he couldn’t catch Yan Yunqing in the black cat version.

It was just that Yan Yunqing realized as he ran that he was being led in circles around Buma City by Demetrius. In just this short amount of time, they had circled the city twice. If Yan Yunqing hadn’t been afraid of losing him and had been watching the small map all the time, he wouldn’t have realized that he was being led in circles.

The black cat’s stomach rumbled.

He was hungry.

He was already hungry when he came out of the Bounty Hunter Association. Now that he had been led around Buma City twice by Demetrius, wasn’t he even hungrier? He was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back!

Yan Yunqing patted his cat forehead with his paw and let out an annoyed meow.

This guy, he’s a little too cautious, isn’t he? He didn’t see anyone at all, and he didn’t go to the destination. He just wasted his time leading him around in circles?

What if no one was really following him? Wouldn’t that be wasting an afternoon?

Yan Yunqing pondered for a while and tried to get closer to Demetrius. Demetrius immediately became alert and began to be wary of his surroundings.

Yan Yunqing: …Is this kid a radar? Why does he start going “woola woola” as soon as I get close?

Yan Yunqing meowed angrily in place.

“Eh? Mimi?”

Yan Yunqing looked up and saw a little girl squatting in front of him, looking at him with sparkling eyes, holding a sausage in her hand.

Yan Yunqing blinked his eyes, meowed at the little girl, and rubbed against the hand she extended.

The little girl was immediately overjoyed and directly unwrapped the sausage and handed it to Yan Yunqing’s nose, “Mimi~ Mimi~ Good Mimi! I’ll give you a sausage~”

Yan Yunqing: Hmm…

Yan Yunqing glanced at the little girl and then at the sausage in front of him that smelled of meat. His stomach was rumbling…

A little cat doesn’t eat food that comes from scorn…

Forget it, he was led around twice by that Demetrius kid, it was time to rest for a while. He would let Demetrius run for a while, and he would chase after him after eating a sausage.

Yan Yunqing, who was already used to playing a cat, ate the sausage that humans fed him with peace of mind, while being held by the little girl.

Don’t tell me, sometimes being a cat master is much more comfortable than being a human.

The Demon King, who was being patted on the head by the little girl, made such a sigh.

Demetrius, who was still wary of his surroundings and had to circle around from time to time, finally walked towards the destination outside the city after circling Buma City for a whole circle and confirming that there was no one behind him.

Little did he know that his route was all seen by the black cat with the small map cheat, who was currently eating a sausage.
