"Is this related to me?"

Qin Feng said with suspicion.

"Of course!"

Phoenix said, "First of all, you're a member of the Tiger Shark Team, and the tasks from above concern every one of us!"

"..." Qin Feng was clueless.

"Secondly, you're the most suitable candidate!"

Phoenix added.

Qin Feng wordlessly waved his hand: "Stop it, I really don't have time for this, I've got loads of other things to deal with, okay?"

"No way, the task is extremely challenging, you have to go!"

Phoenix said with furrowed brows.

Qin Feng stood up resolutely and said, "Let's do this, you tell General Shi that I don't want a bodyguard anymore, okay? You go back too! Everyone goes their own way, back to their own homes..."

While saying this.

He signaled Xiao Lian to see the guest out.

There was no choice.

He really didn't have the spare time to deal with other matters.

He even had to squeeze out time to go home to his wife.

Phoenix saw him about to leave, her face flushing with urgency, she shouted, "General Shi really misjudged, why did he choose you! Simply indulging in pleasure-seeking, without a shred of courage! You're disgracing us!"

Qin Feng got angry, too, and shouted, "Was it my own will to join in the first place? Go ask General Shi, wasn't it him who begged me to join! And your cultivation, wasn't it me who helped you break through!"

"You..."

Phoenix was left speechless.

At this moment.

Someone knocked and came into the private room, puzzled, "What happened?"

Qin Feng turned his head to see—it was Xu Yunxiao!

"Wife, how come you're here?" he exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh, I wasn't too busy today, got off work early, and I received a call from Qianqian saying she wouldn't come home tonight, so I had nothing to do and thought I'd see when you get off work so we could go home together."

Xu Yunxiao explained.

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng felt a tear of emotion.

So it wasn't just him who wanted Li Qianqian to move out!

From his wife's words.

It seemed she was also "impatient," hearing that Li Qianqian wouldn't be home that night, she hurried to find him.

Tonight's perfect moment seemed within reach!

"Wife, it's nothing, I'll get off work now and go home with you," Qin Feng said excitedly.

"No, I overheard you guys seemed to be arguing," Xu Yunxiao looked suspiciously at Phoenix and said, "Hello, I'm his wife. Did he offend you in any way?"

"Hello, he hasn't offended me, it's just a mission we'd like him to undertake, but he doesn't want to," Phoenix replied.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yunxiao turned to Qin Feng, "How can you shirk your work responsibilities? Really! Haven't I told you before, work comes first!"

"..."

Qin Feng blushed with embarrassment, "It's not exactly an important job..."

"Very important!"

Phoenix interjected.

On hearing this, Xu Yunxiao frowned and addressed Qin Feng, "You! Just after I praised you for being more ambitious, you're already neglecting your work. Since it's important, you should naturally prioritize it!"

"But, it requires going far away!"

Qin Feng grumbled.

"Sending you on a distant mission shows that the leadership trusts you; you must complete it well!"

Xu Yunxiao continued.

"..."

Qin Feng was speechless, and then said, "But, wife, we finally have tonight just to ourselves..."

Before he could finish,

Xu Yunxiao caught on to what he was eagerly hinting at, her face turned red, and she muttered in annoyance: "Can't you have some shame, really, acting like a child? Do this, focus on your work, and when you come back, I'll listen to you, is that okay..."

As she spoke, her face turned even redder.

She hadn't expected that she would say something so "shameless".

Qin Feng could only heave a long sigh when he heard it.

There was no other way.

His wife was famously a workaholic.

If he did not agree with her,

she would probably not stay even if he asked her to, nor fulfill her own ideals.

"Alright then..."

Qin Feng said helplessly.

Then.

Xu Yunxiao went home alone.

Qin Feng sat down again, and without a word gave Phoenix a sidelong glance, saying, "It's all your fault, ruining my good times! Out with it! What's the mission? Just to be clear, if it's too dangerous or too exhausting, I'm not doing it."

"Don't worry, it's very easy, our mission is 'tourism'!"

Phoenix said.

As it turned out.

There was a secret that Huang Dao, whom Qin Feng had recently captured, carried with him.

That secret was a fragment of the "Heavenly Map" that he had obtained, and he had successfully collected an Energy Baryte according to that fragment.

The task of the Tiger Shark Team was to find the Energy Baryte.

But Huang Dao refused to reveal anything about it.

Later.

The Tiger Shark Team came up with a plan, during the transport of Huang Dao to another location, the escorting officers intentionally exposed a flaw, giving an opportunity for someone who was secretly tracking them to get close to him, he would surely tell his friend about the Energy Baryte.

Then the Tiger Shark Team would follow that person.

Unexpectedly, the person who contacted Huang Dao turned out to be a Fifth Grade Master!

After learning the secret, he killed Huang Dao and then fled.

Fortunately, the Tiger Shark Team was well prepared. Keep us going by reading on *.

They smeared a special potion on the cage.

As soon as the person came into contact with the potion, it would penetrate through the skin into the bloodstream.

And the Tiger Shark Team would be able to track them with the scent of the potion.

Simply put.

It's like implanting a GPS chip in his body, so they could find him anywhere, thus they could pursue him together.

However, this potion had a flaw.

If the person suppressed their cultivation and became an ordinary person, it would be impossible to detect the GPS signal, and that person discovered this point, so he disguised himself as an ordinary boss.

In order not to alarm the prey.

The higher-ups planned to arrange for two people to follow him incognito, pretending to be ordinary citizens.

It has now been determined that he booked a private tour group for Da'an Ridge.

The Tiger Shark Team estimates that the Energy Baryte may be at Da'an Ridge.

So.

The mission is to track that person and find the Energy Baryte!

And for tracking purposes, it's best not to send members of the Tiger Shark Team, because their innate aura of killing is too strong, making it easy to be detected.

Qin Feng, who has spent years in the Mortal World and is steeped in worldly aura, turns out to be a good choice.

At this moment.

Having grasped the gist of it, Qin Feng spread his hands and said, "So that's how it is, but isn't it inappropriate to give such an important task to me? We're talking about Energy Baryte here! It's said that if you collect seven pieces, you can open the 'Kunlun Mist Cloud'. Are you not afraid I'll be tempted?"

"You are a member of the Tiger Shark Team!"

Phoenix said, frowning seriously.

Seeing her so solemn, Qin Feng wasn't amused at all and simply said, "Alright then! Since that's the case, let's set off!"

Da'an Ridge bordered the North Country Forest Mountain.

He had been planning to find some time to visit North Country Forest Mountain, for the fragment of the "Heavenly Map" he got from the One-eyed Dragon was from that area. Now it just so happened he had an opportunity to go.

"Xiao Lian, you stay home this time! It's winter now, too cold there, and the mission is dangerous."

Qin Feng said to Xiao Lian.

After speaking.

Seeing Xiao Lian was distracted, as if her mood was amiss, like she had something on her mind, Qin Feng showed concern again and asked, "What's the matter? Has someone been bullying you?"
