In a rather upscale and expensive restaurant.
Xu Fei raised her glass to Lin Yunxi and said, "Yunxi sis, cheers to our shared misfortune!"
Lin Yunxi blinked and still clinked glasses with Xu Fei.
Earlier, they had been discussing scumbags, and with lunchtime approaching, Xu Fei had pulled her out for a couple of drinks and lunch. For people with cultivation like them, as long as they weren't on a mission, drinking had no restrictions. This was because once a mission came, they could quickly expel the alcohol from their bodies with their inner energy.
Lin Yunxi actually didn't want to drink, but seeing Xu Fei in a bad mood, she accompanied her.
"Wow, so strong!" After downing three liang of baijiu, Xu Fei stuck out her tongue.
"If it's too strong, don't drink so much," Lin Yunxi said with a smile.
"I just went through a breakup, I want to get drunk," Xu Fei said, pouring more for herself and Lin Yunxi: "As good sisters, no matter what, you have to help me finish this case!"
Lin Yunxi: "..."
Little sister, are you serious? You know, after all this alcohol, I'll be fine, but can your cultivation handle it?
Lin Yunxi's current cultivation was at the peak of the Xuanwu realm, ready to break through to the Lingwu realm at any moment, a whole major realm higher than Xu Fei.
Men dining nearby saw this scene and secretly gasped.
Two women ordering a case of baijiu, were they trying to die?
And these two women were too beautiful!
Even Xu Fei, who was slightly less stunning, was goddess-level. Of course, Lin Yunxi was even more beautiful, and perhaps due to her long-term mission experience, her demeanor was extremely capable and spirited.
In Yang Feilong's assessment, Xu Fei was top-tier T2, while Lin Yunxi was T1, approaching T0.
A young man who considered himself handsome and rich walked over with a smile: "Are the two beauties drowning their sorrows with alcohol?"
"Scram!" Xu Fei glanced at him and blurted out a single word.
The young man's smile stiffened. Before he could say anything, Lin Yunxi took two items from her bag and slapped them onto the table. They were a police badge and a gun.
"Sorry to disturb you, sorry to disturb you!" The handsome youth forced a smile, wiped his sweat, and turned to leave.
He hadn't expected that these two beautifully dressed women were actually police officers, and their badges seemed to be of a very high rank. He was terrified.
Police officers, after all, belonged to the government and were inherently respected. This self-proclaimed rich young man feared dealing with the police the most. Finding a girlfriend? He wouldn't dare look for someone like this. What a pity for these two stunning women, especially the silent one who exuded so much authority. What a shame, what a shame!
"Yunxi sis, you're so cool!" Xu Fei looked at Lin Yunxi with bright eyes: "It's a shame I don't have this!"
Xu Fei's face was full of disappointment.
"When you get officially appointed, you'll have the chance to carry it!" Lin Yunxi smiled and put away the police badge and gun. Honestly, she had been a bit impulsive showing the gun and badge, perhaps due to the alcohol. Of course, she could still control herself. She let the alcohol dissipate for a moment and then added, "And aren't your official appointment procedures underway?"
"That's true!" Xu Fei nodded. She had actually joined later than Lin Yunxi, and her cultivation was previously better than Lin Yunxi's. She didn't know what had happened, but Lin Yunxi's cultivation had suddenly advanced by leaps and bounds.
She didn't know that Lin Yunxi, on one hand, had many missions, thinking that the stronger her strength, the smoother her missions would be. Coupled with the stimulation from Yang Feilong, she cultivated extremely diligently during her off-duty hours. Furthermore, she had never used spirit stones for cultivation before. After her official appointment, she received more rewards for her continuous achievements. With these factors combined, Xu Fei, who was once stronger than Lin Yunxi, was later overtaken and the gap widened.
She was about to enter the Top Talent List, while Xu Fei had been stuck at the peak of the Zhenwu realm for over a year.
Should I also work harder?
Xu Fei pondered in her heart.
The young man's attempt to chat was just a brief interruption. Neither Lin Yunxi nor Xu Fei paid it any mind.
Drinking!
In the midst of eating and drinking, ding-ling-ling, Lin Yunxi's phone suddenly rang. As a police officer, especially a renowned one, her phone had to be accessible twenty-four hours a day.
"Hello!" Lin Yunxi answered the call.
Her expression was initially relaxed, but it quickly became serious and extremely solemn. She immediately expelled the alcohol from her body with her inner energy.
Seeing this, Xu Fei, who was slightly tipsy, also began to expel the alcohol. Of course, her inner energy wasn't as strong as Lin Yunxi's. Although she expelled a lot at once, she was still slightly tipsy, and she continued to expel it with her inner energy.
"En."
"Okay, I'll be right back!"
Then, Lin Yunxi made another call. Xu Fei glanced at it; it seemed to display the words 'Unfeeling Man'.
Is that the scumbag Yunxi sis likes? The contact name is 'Unfeeling Man', Yunxi sis must have been deeply hurt! Xu Fei mused, But why is Yunxi sis calling him? Could it be related to him?
However, upon hearing Lin Yunxi speak to the 'Unfeeling Man', she felt a bit puzzled, as it sounded like she was asking for a favor.
Of course, she didn't overhear any extra details. Instead, she got up and went to the bar to settle the bill for the meal and drinks. The total was six thousand eight hundred yuan, mainly due to the expensive alcohol. Each bottle cost 1588 yuan, and they had drunk four bottles of baijiu in total.
Although this amount seemed significant, for Xu Fei, it was a small matter.
She didn't live solely on her salary, as her family background was extremely privileged, much better than Lin Yunxi's.
At this moment, Lin Yunxi also hung up the phone and walked over. She didn't mention the meal expenses either; she would treat her next time.
"Let's go!" Lin Yunxi said.
Soon, they arrived at the parking lot. Lin Yunxi sat in the driver's seat, and Xu Fei sat in the passenger seat. The latter's alcohol had not been completely expelled, while Lin Yunxi was completely fine.
"Yunxi sis, what happened?" Xu Fei asked worriedly. "Can you tell me?"
"Uncle Tie Rushan is critically ill," Lin Yunxi said in a deep voice. She called him uncle in private, but addressed him as 'superior officer' in official matters.
"What?" Upon hearing this, Xu Fei's expression changed drastically. "What happened?"
"He's been hunting down a fugitive from the wanted list. Although he narrowly managed to kill the fugitive, he was severely wounded by the fugitive's final counterattack and is now on the brink of death!" Lin Yunxi said solemnly.
"Is it that serious?" Xu Fei's heart sank. Her Xu family and the Tie family were old friends with very close ties. Uncle Tie Rushan treated her like his own daughter! "What did the martial physician say?"
Martial physicians were doctors from the Martial Artist Association who had a certain level of cultivation and were skilled in treating martial artist-related injuries!
"They've asked us to prepare for the funeral." Lin Yunxi shook her head, unable to hide her worry.
"What?" Xu Fei's body trembled, her eyes filled with unconcealable sorrow.
