Naming Technique of the Night

It sounds eerily familiar!

Could it be the assassin from Laojun Mountain who saved me? If so, we all are fellow apprentices, which means we could get a bit closer, right?

At that moment, Qing Chen sent a message, "Reply to him, 'Digging up Qing Chen won't be that easy.'"

However, before he had a chance to start his meal, Liu Dezhu sent another message, "Boss, he sent another letter, 'Don't be so confident. It seems you don't know I've written to Qing Chen, eh? Looks like he doesn't listen to you that much, hehe.'"

Qing Chen looked up in astonishment, "A letter for me? How come I haven't received it!"

Damn it.

Qing Chen suddenly realized an issue. Lin Xiaoxiao had said that the Devil's Stamp required an address to send letters.

So, once the holder targeted me, it naturally led them to my residence, where they wrote me a letter.

But, I've moved!

The address the other party could find no longer belonged to me; it was Yangyang's place!

Therefore, the letter they mentioned was most likely by Yangyang's pillow right now!

Qing Chen could even picture the confused look on Yangyang's face as she looked at the letter!

He pondered whether he should get the letter back now and how to explain it to Yangyang.

This misunderstanding had really gotten out of hand...

Just as Qing Chen was wrestling with the situation, there was a knock on the door. Opening it, Qing Chen was surprised to see Yangyang.

The girl raised her hand, showcasing the letter, "I believe this is for you."

After handing it over, she turned and went back to her place, without asking any questions, let alone showing any doubts, sparing Qing Chen much embarrassment.

Just as Yangyang was about to shut the door, she turned back and said to Qing Chen, "Oh, there's one more thing. You remember Wang Yun, right?"

Qing Chen paused, "I remember."

"She was killed by Li Dongze of the Heng Society in the Inner World, and it was a particularly brutal death," Yangyang said. "She also has a very doting brother, the apple of her parents' eye, so the Wang Family won't let this go easily. After Bai Waner returned to Haicheng, she pinned everything on Liu Dezhu, Hu Xiaoniu, and Zhang Tianzhen."

Qing Chen asked, "Why are you telling me this?"

"The Wang Family's influence in the Inner World is negligible, so they won't be able to take revenge on Li Dongze or Uncle Li Dong right now. Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen are only minor players; they won't start a war with the Hu and Zhang families," Yangyang explained. "So the person they can go after is Liu Dezhu. Don't forget, this is the Outer World, the Wang Family's turf.

They're coming for revenge."

Qing Chen furrowed his brow, having guessed that the Wang Family would seek revenge for Wang Yun, and that they would be ruthless.

But he hadn't expected the Wang Family to be such bullies and cowards.

And why was Yangyang telling him this?

Qing Chen asked, "Wasn't Wang Yun part of your circle? Why don't you help the Wang Family?"

The girl calmly replied, "There's no room for a 'green tea bitch' in my circle."

Then, Qing Chen asked, "I'm really curious. Why did you come to Los Angeles City, and why did you transfer to Class 3, Grade 11? What is your goal?"

"You're not being open with me, so naturally, I can't be open with you," Yangyang said. "When you're ready to be candid, you can ask me again."

After saying that, the girl closed the door.

It wasn't until then that Qing Chen had a moment to glance at the content of the letter, "What you want, I have. But remember, with every gain there must be a loss, hehe."

Qing Chen sighed. The slogan had zero appeal. You didn't even say what you have!

For the first time, he felt that in this round of his game with the Devil's Stamp holder, he had the upper hand.

This round, he had won.

It must be said, Qing Chen's second line of defense had been timely.

The adversary had clearly fixed their sights on the identity of "Qing Chen." If there had not been some misleading information released, the adversary would have quickly enacted a series of plots against him.

But now, he had become a minor character, a mere pawn.

That was much safer.

Qing Chen had no intention of responding in the identity of "Qing Chen."

After all, if he were to reply directly, he would bloody have to cut his own finger to bleed.

Now, letting Liu Dezhu bleed was quite appropriate.

At that moment, another letter was sent to Liu Dezhu by the adversary, "I'm very curious, how do you manage to hide so well?"

This was the Devil's Stamp holder's most genuine puzzle. Zheng Yuandong had gathered so much information, had made such a fuss with the testing, and the holder themselves had contemplated and watched for so long.

But none of them had found the "man behind the curtain"; they only found two pawns.

This feeling, it was really upsetting the holder too much.

Liu Dezhu asked, "Boss, how should I reply to him?"

Qing Chen was silent for a moment, "Hehe."

In a corner of some city, a skinny figure sat before a massive floor-to-ceiling window, pondering over the letter and the word 'hehe'...

The Devil's Stamp holder was confounded by this countermove, a simple 'hehe,' disrupting his emotions...

Qing Chen no longer engaged with the Devil's Stamp holder, instead resuming the training he had interrupted for so long.

According to Uncle Li Dong, although he had unlocked the genetic lock, his body's potential had not been maximized. So training would still be effective.

Even though such an improvement might seem insignificant compared to supernatural powers, Qing Chen always favored 'the extreme.'

And he firmly believed.

Discipline is the greatest freedom of mankind.
