Once, I wanted to be a good person

```

Upon hearing this, Uncle Chen approached, then proceeded to carefully inspect Ning Youqian's Martial Arts Cultivation.

Moments later, he looked at Ning Youqian with a face full of surprise, "You've really made a lot of progress. Just one night, and you've actually developed seven more muscles?"

Confirming with an expert from his own home that he was neither brainwashed nor subjected to some kind of illusion, Ning Youqian's eyes couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful expression...

'Fool's Pocket Watch?'

'It can accelerate cultivation?'

'So there really is such a miraculous thing in this world...'

This night was destined to be sleepless.....

.....

The next morning, Fang Ze got up, washed up, as usual.

Then, while playing with the talisman in his hand, he ate breakfast and went to work, ready to see how his "leeks" were doing.

However, just after he walked a few streets and was about to reach the entrance of the Security Bureau, Fang Ze involuntarily stopped in his tracks.

Because he heard two familiar voices arguing in a nearby alley.

He couldn't help but quietly approach, looking into the alley.

Indeed, it was the two sisters, Nan Yi and Zhixi.

The two looked almost exactly alike with exquisite features and a touch of Miao Land charm, both slender with thin arms and legs.

But in terms of temperament, they were the complete opposite.

Nan Yi was like a blazing flame, fiery and passionate, with an urgent personality.

Zhixi, on the other hand, was like a cold, cold spring, calm and shadowy, with a sense of not fitting in with the world.

When they argued, it was just like their personalities. Zhixi just stood there expressionless, occasionally uttering a sentence.

While Nan Yi glared at her sister, nonstop talking like a machine gun firing away.

"Zhixi! Why did you do that?!"

"Do you know what happened? A disaster! Uncle Ubi is dead! Dead!"

"Why did you let him do something so dangerous?"

Hearing Nan Yi's words, Zhixi just looked at her emotionlessly, "Intelligence affairs are my domain. I don't need to explain to you."

"If you have a problem, you can ask Father."

Hearing Zhixi's words, Nan Yi grew even angrier. She said, "Father said that after I arrived in Emerald City, you should listen to me! He told you to report intelligence matters to me too!"

Zhixi looked at her and then suddenly retorted, "Just because you're an Awakener?"

Nan Yi was taken aback.

She never expected her sister to bring this up.

After a moment, she seemed to think of something, and her expression suddenly softened.

Then, hesitantly, she put her hands on Zhixi's shoulders, leaned in close, looked her in the eyes, and said softly, "It's not because I'm an Awakener. It's... because I'm your sister, Zhixi."

"We're sisters."

"Sisters with the same blood in our veins."

As she spoke, she asserted earnestly, "Yes, I'm an Awakener, and you're just an ordinary person. But that doesn't matter. Because I'm your sister, what's mine is yours, I will always protect you."

Perhaps she had heard such words too often over the years, Zhixi was unmoved.

She just looked at Nan Yi, then with sad eyes, she asked, "But can you really protect me?"

"Have you really protected me all these years?"

"You're not always by my side."

"If you're not there and I'm in danger, what am I supposed to do? Wait to die?"

As she spoke, her expression began to recede, returning to that emotionless façade, and then she said,

"And... why is it you who protects me?"

"Why can't I protect you?"

Nan Yi..... was stunned.

Seeing the sisters' conversation turning more hurtful, Fang Ze hesitated for a moment, then stepped back and purposefully coughed.

After that, he pretended he just happened to pass by, walked to the mouth of the alley, turned his head to the sisters, and said, "Eh? Nan Yi, Zhixi? What a coincidence huh?"

At the sound of Fang Ze's voice, the sisters stopped arguing all at once.

They couldn't help but turn to Fang Ze.

Upon seeing Fang Ze, a smile couldn't help but emerge from within Nan Yi, "Officer Fang Ze? What a coincidence. Are you heading to work too?"

Hearing Nan Yi's words, Zhixi glanced at her and then set her gaze upon Fang Ze.

Fang Ze smiled at her slightly, then turned to Nan Yi, "Yeah, going to work. Do you want to join me?"

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Nan Yi quickly nodded, "Sure, sure!" Discover more content at My Virtual Library Empire

Then, like a joyous little bird, she flew to Fang Ze's side and said with a laugh, "It seems we have quite the fate to run into each other here."

Fang Ze had long seen that this girl had her eyes on him, so he just listened to her and laughed it off.

Then... he looked at Zhixi who was still in the alley, gestured, and said, "Come on, join us. Zhixi."

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Nan Yi shot Fang Ze a strange glance and then looked at Zhixi. She felt something was off but couldn't quite put her finger on it.

And Zhixi.... saw through this gesture, confirming her suspicion: it seemed Officer Fang Ze was indeed her superior.....

After arriving at the Security Bureau, with chatter and laughter with the sisters, or rather, only with Nan Yi while Zhixi remained silent and taciturn, Fang Ze told Nan Yi to report to the Judicial Department, then took Zhixi to his office in the training center.

Once in the office, Zhixi closed the door behind them without waiting for Fang Ze to ask.

After making sure no one was eavesdropping, her sapphire blue eyes looked at Fang Ze, and after a moment of consideration, she said, "Thank you."

Fang Ze understood what she was thankful for, so he just smiled and nodded, "It's your talent."

It might have been the first time in her life someone had praised her like that, and Zhixi's gaze couldn't help but waver.

After a moment, she spoke, "I've received a message about you, sir."

Hearing her words, Fang Ze quickly linked this message with what Nan Yi had said about Uncle Ubi's death.
