Chapter 739: New Year’s Eve
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu chatted for a while longer, but their topic of conversation was still related to the Anchor the Monkey operation.
Before they knew it, morning had arrived.
Recently, Ke Qingqing had been assisting Su Li, so she would not come over until the afternoon. That was why Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu were the only ones in the office.
Zhang Yuelu had other matters to handle and got up to leave, but before long, she returned. This time, she brought Yao Pei along.
Qi Xuansu immediately knew something was up.
Yao Pei had been staying unusually clear-headed lately, which made Qi Xuansu wonder if she had used up her entire year’s worth of clarity. Upon entering the office, she immediately sealed the space with her Staff of Merit, then pulled out a stack of encrypted messages. “Saves me from running around to find you all.”
The three of them sat down in the office’s lounge, which had a somewhat Western style. Yao Pei sat alone in a single chair, while Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu shared a two-person bench.
Yao Pei made no effort to hide her grave expression. She first glanced at Qi Xuansu, then turned to Zhang Yuelu. “This is the latest encrypted message from the ‘Buddha.’ I’ve done an initial translation, so take a look.”
Qi Xuansu reached out to take the sheet. Meanwhile, Zhang Yuelu leaned in to read.
At first glance, both of them were startled because the header was shockingly bold. It read, “The Golden Tower Council Meeting: 24 Omniscient Sages.”
The two hesitated slightly. Qi Xuansu said, “According to the rules, we aren’t allowed to read records at this level. Only Sages have such clearance.”
