  “This is strange. This isn’t a military region. Why is a military helicopter here?”

  More and more people were asking questions. They were quite confused.

  Fang Qiming stepped out of his car and lifted his head to look at the helicopter that was swiftly approaching.

  The helicopter decreased its altitude as it got closer to the parking lot. The roar of its propellers became louder.

  The spinning propeller whipped up a strong wind that caught everyone by surprise.

  “Oh my god! That is spectacular!”

  The students’ mouths were wide open as they saw the helicopter approaching.

  They had only seen a military helicopter in movies and television dramas. That was the first time seeing one in real life.

  The helicopter hovered in mid-air above the parking lot.

  “This is strange! Why is the helicopter here?”

  Everyone was clueless. They stretched their necks and looked toward the helicopter, trying to see who was inside.

  Soon, a figure appeared. The figure jumped from the helicopter, which was about six meters above the ground.

  Everyone was stunned when they saw clearly who the figure was.

  It was a beautiful girl with an excellent body. Her hair was like silk that fluttered in the wind.

  Her face was impeccable. She had bright eyes, white teeth, and skin as smooth and delicate as snow. It was an unforgettable face.

  As she leaped, they could see that she was holding a rope in one hand. She was like a fairy that descended from the heavens.

  The parking lot fell silent.

  The students were dumbstruck. Their mouths were wide open, and they could not look away from the figure that descended from the sky.

  ‘Am I dreaming?’ They were thinking, unable to believe their eyes.

  The scene was too surreal.

  First, there was a military helicopter in civilian campgrounds. Then, a girl as beautiful as a fairy jumped out of the helicopter. She was dressed in a cool military uniform.

  What was that, if not a dream?

  Thud!

  The figure landed on the ground, balanced herself, and stood up.

  She seemed heroic in her military uniform. Her hair was slightly scattered, though it did not diminish her beauty.

  That was a perfect oval-shaped face. Her lips were red and her nose was sharp. Those beautiful eyes were unspeakably profound.

  She was as beautiful as a painting, though her expression was as cold as ice, as though her face was covered by a layer of frost.

  The gaze was unbelievably cold, as though she was made of ice.

  However, her body was undeniably attractive, especially those slender legs which attracted everyone’s attention.

  She stood there and looked around her. Her stance was intimidating.

  The students’ mouths opened wider and wider. The shock in their hearts was indescribable.

  They remained rooted on the spot, looking at the girl with eager gazes.

  Chapter 441 - The Agency Needs You

  No one in the parking lot made a sound. The students’ eyes were focused on that beautiful figure.

  The boys seemed eager and obsessed.

  The girl in front of them was no less beautiful than the beauty queen, and she looked to be about the same age as them. The military uniform she wore gave her a unique, heroic charm.

  Her distant, impassive expression only piqued the boys’ curiosity.

  The girls had mixed reactions toward her. Some were envious, though others were awestruck.

  After a short moment of silence, the crowd eventually came to their senses and exclaimed loudly.

  “Oh my god, it’s a beautiful girl, and in uniform too!”

  “What’s your name, beautiful girl?”

  The boys were shouting excitedly.

  However, they dared go any closer to her. After all, the beautiful girl was a soldier, and there was a fully-equipped military helicopter right on top of them.

  Many people had discerned the rank of the girl. She was so young, but she was already a major in the military. That showed that she was not a pushover.

  Meanwhile, Fang Qiming stood there, caught in a daze. He was thoroughly obsessed.

  One could see what he was thinking, judging from the crazed look in his eyes.

  He straightened his suit, tidied his hair, and checked his appearance in the reflection of the car window. After making sure that his looks were impeccable, he walked toward the girl with an eager smile.

  “Hello, beautiful girl, what’s your name? Let’s be friends!”

  He flashed the most attractive smile he could muster.

  The girl glanced impassively at him, said nothing, and turned away.

  Fang Qiming froze there.

  He could sense that the girl had thoroughly ignored her.

  ‘Dammit! She’s so cold!’

  He cursed under his breath, though he did not show his displeasure on his face. However, he soon regained his confidence. “Why are you here, beautiful girl? Do you have something?” He said with a smile.

  The girl did not look at him. Instead, her eyes swept across the crowd.

  She opened her lips. “I’m looking for someone!” She said coldly.

  Everyone was dumbstruck.

  ‘She’s looking for someone?’

  That was weird. They were all students. Who could the beautiful girl be possibly looking for?

  Moreover, was there a need to come over on a military helicopter? That was too excessive!

  They eventually overcame their initial shock and started guessing who the beautiful soldier might be looking for.

  “Who could that person be? That person must be some big shot!”

  “I didn’t know that there’s a military big shot at Z University!”

  Everyone started looking around for that elusive big shot.

  The beautiful girl continued to look around her. Eventually, her eyes were transfixed on a certain spot among the crowd.

  She started walking quickly to that spot.

  Everyone looked toward where she was going.

  Their hearts were in their throats.

  Many people who stood in front of her became excited. They fantasized that they had some hidden superpowers that they did not know about. That was why the military sent a helicopter and a beautiful female soldier to invite them.

  They were already writing adventures in their minds.

  However, the beautiful girl ignored all of them and continued walking forward.

  She kept on walking…

  Everyone continued to look at where she was heading.

  “That guy doesn’t look like it, nor does he. They all look like nerds. Hm? Isn’t that Tang Hao? Don’t tell me it’s him?”

  Everyone’s gaze eventually fell on Tang Hao.

  The beautiful girl seemed to be walking toward him.

  “That can’t be! He might have some money, but he’s just a regular nerd. Why would the military look for him?”

  Fang Qiming was surprised, but soon, he started laughing. “It can’t be him! He’s only a windfall tycoon from a mountain village. Why would the military look for him? What a joke!”

  Fang Qiming displayed a look of condescension on his face.

  However, his expression gradually froze.

  The beautiful girl walked closer and closer to Tang Hao.

  “No, that’s impossible!” Fang Qiming mumbled. His eyes were transfixed on her.

  He hoped with all his might that it was all a misunderstanding, that the girl happened to be passing by there. However, no matter how he looked at it, the girl was walking toward Tang Hao.

  Everyone held their breath at that instant.

  Three meters, two, one…

  The distance between the two people became closer.

  Everyone felt as though their hearts were leaping out of their throats.

  “Don’t stop there! Don’t stop there!” Fang Qiming mumbled repeat
edly.

  Under everyone’s eager gaze, the beautiful girl stopped in front of Tang Hao.

  Everyone fell silent at that instant. They had no words for what they had witnessed.

  When they came to their senses, they let out an earth-shattering exclamation.

  “Oh my god! It’s really him!”

  “F*ck, there’s no justice in the world! The beauty queen likes him, and now this young and beautiful soldier is here to look for him. How am I any worse than him?”

  Many people exclaimed in surprise. Many others wailed and howled. They thumped their chests and stamped their feet.

  ‘Why is it him?’ Many people were wondering.

  Cao Fei, Liu Bingyao, and all the other people standing next to Tang Hao were stunned. The shock in their hearts was indescribable.

  “Damn, Brother Hao, this chick is here to look for you?” Cao Fei exclaimed.

  Liu Bingyao’s mouth was slightly agape. She looked at Tang Hao wordlessly.

  She knew that Tang Hao was not a mundane person, but she did not expect that he was connected to the military, and a beautiful girl no less!

  Tang Hao coughed. He felt awkward.

  He had a premonition that the helicopter was here to look for him, but he was not sure. After all, there was no reason that the military would be looking for him.

  He was also wondering what was going on.

  “Follow me quickly, Major Tang!’ The girl said after looking at Tang Hao. “The Agency needs you!”

  Everyone’s jaw dropped when they heard that.

  The mouths of the students were opened wide. One could fit a chicken egg in them.

  What did they just hear? That beautiful female soldier called Tang Hao ‘Major Tang’! ‘The Agency needs you’? That sounded like it was from some action movie!

  That line had utterly shocked them.

  Fang Qiming’s eyes were almost popping out of their sockets. He was shocked beyond belief.

  “No! That’s impossible! I must be dreaming!”

  He pinched himself hard as he mumbled. “Ouch!” He yelped in pain.

  ‘It hurts! I’m not dreaming!

  ‘But… if I’m not dreaming, how could this be so ridiculous?

  ‘That Tang kid is in the military? And he’s a major too?

  ‘What kind of big joke is this?’

  Fang Qiming pulled the hair on his head. He was almost losing his mind.

  Chapter 442 - That’s What You Call Cool

  Tang Hao narrowed his eyes and examined the girl in front of him.

  She was also a teenager of eighteen or nineteen years old. She was extremely beautiful. Her military uniform made her stand out and gave her a unique charm.

  He could sense qi in her body. She was in the middle period of the State of Qi Channeling.

  Tang Hao was surprised to discover that. Not many people of that age had such a high cultivation base. Perhaps she had a fortuitous encounter too.

  He regarded her curiously.

  She was the first cultivator he met in the Agency, after Taoist Master Qian Ji.

  He was also wondering what the urgency was about, and why General Bai did not contact him.

  When he first joined the Agency, Ol’ Bai told him that he only needed to send them several pills each month. He would not be tasked with any missions.

  ‘Whatever. I should go along with her. Maybe there’s really something important!’ Tang Hao thought.

  He nodded at her.

  “I’ll have to go now. There’s something urgent waiting for me!” He turned around and told Liu Bingyao and Cao Fei.

  Cao Fei’s jaw dropped when he heard that.

  “You’re serious, Brother Hao?”

  Earlier, they were wondering if that beautiful girl had found the wrong person, but now there was no doubt. That made them even more shocked.

  “You’re my idol, Brother Hao!” Cao Fei said emotionally. He nearly fell on his knees.

  He was full of respect for Tang Hao for being a self-made rich person. The newfound information that Tang Hao was involved in the military made him want to lay prostrate.

  Tang Hao coughed lightly and did not say anything.

  “You’d better go!” Liu Bingyao said softly.

  The beautiful female soldier turned around and walked toward the underside of the helicopter.

  Tang Hao followed her closely.

  Many people were whispering as they walked. A thousand pairs of eyes were focused on the two people.

  Most of them were still in a daze, unable to believe that the beautiful girl was there for Tang Hao.

  They could not believe that Tang Hao had a title in the military either.

  Most of the boys looked at him enviously.

  All the boys dreamed of fighting in battle and bringing glory to their nation. It would be even better if they had a girl who fell in love with them.

  The scene in front of them was exactly like their dreams.

  “Too awesome! He’s just too awesome!”

  “He’s godlike!”

  They lamented.

  Meanwhile, the girls’ eyes sparkled when they saw that.

  Tang Hao was no longer a country bumpkin with poor taste. Instead, he had been merely keeping a low profile.

  That was even cooler!

  They shrieked excitedly.

  A rope ladder was dropped from the helicopter. The beautiful female soldier climbed up first. Tang Hao climbed up the ladder against the strong winds and entered the helicopter.

  “Go!” The beautiful female soldier shouted at the pilot.

  The helicopter started flying away.

  Tang Hao leaned out of the helicopter and waved at the people below.

  In the morning sun, the pitch-black helicopter darted away like a falcon. Eventually, it was nothing more than a black dot.

  The noise of the propellers became softer and softer until they could no longer hear it.

  The students remained rooted in their spots, looking at the sky.

  “Cool! That was too cool!”

  “That’s the real definition of coolness!”

  Everyone exclaimed.

  The parking lot was a noisy mess.

  “Brother Hao is a true legend!” Cao Fei exclaimed emotionally.

  “What do you think Brother Hao does in the military, and what is he going to do? ‘The Agency needs you’. That sounds so dramatic! I’m about to lose my mind!”

  “Don’t tell me that Brother Hao is a secret agent like 007? Perhaps he had received a mission to save the country!”

  “Haha, what are you thinking? Save the country… maybe he’s saving the world!”

  Liu Bingyao could not help it but smile when she overheard their conversation.

  Her eyes remained transfixed to the horizon.

  …

  The sun broke through the clouds, and its golden rays spilled across the land.

  A helicopter was flying in the sky.

  The view from the helicopter was dazzling.

  Tang Hao sat in the helicopter. The beautiful female soldier sat in front of him.

  “Couldn’t you have just given me a phone call?”

  Tang Hao did not know what to say. The excessive gesture had attracted too much attention to him.

  The beautiful girl sat in front of her. Her expression was as cold as a glacier.

  She glared coldly at Tang Hao. “This is faster.” Her tone of voice was just as cold as her expression.

  Tang Hao rolled his eyes. “Then… couldn’t you have used a less conspicuous helicopter?”

  “I like this one!” She said tersely.

  Tang Hao had no reply to those simple words.

  The atmosphere became awkward.

  “So… what’s your name? What’s the matter? Is it urgent?” Tang Hao asked after a long silence.

  “My name is Mu Xintong!” She said while glaring at him.

  She paused for a while and continued, “What’s the matter? Of course it’s urgent! It
’s a long story. You’ll be briefed when you get there.”

  After that, she shut her mouth.

  Tang Hao had no other choice but to save his questions for later.

  Half an hour later, the helicopter returned to an airbase. They transferred to a military jet and flew toward the northwest corner of Huaxia.

  The jet arrived at a military base around noon.

  A person was waiting for them on the runway as they got off the plane. He was a short and fat man in his fifties. His hair was graying and his face was round.

  He quickly stepped forward and eagerly shook Tang Hao’s hands.

  He seemed emotional, and his eyes were sparkling as he looked at Tang Hao.

  Tang Hao was confused about what was going on.

  “You are…?”

  “Oh, pardon my manners! I forgot to introduce myself. My Taoist name is Fu Yun. You must be Tang Hao! Oh, you’re a rare talent!”

  Fu Yun showered praise and flattery on Tang Hao as he shook his hands. Tang Hao was getting dizzy.

  He smiled awkwardly and pulled his hands away.

  “What’s the matter, Taoist Master Fu Yun?” Tang Hao asked seriously.

  Taoist Master Fu Yun’s expression immediately became serious. He turned to his side and gestured. “We’ll talk inside!”

  They went into a room in the military base.

  The room was dimly lit. A map was projected onto a wall. It displayed the border between Huaxia and Hindustan.

  “We summoned you here today because no one else can succeed in this mission, Comrade Tang Hao. Also, this involves Taoist Master Qian Ji. I heard that you’re very close to Mao Mountain, so you are the best candidate for this mission.

  “General Bai also agreed to it. That’s why we sent Comrade Mu to fetch you here!”

  Tang Hao’s expression changed drastically when he heard that.

  ‘Related to Taoist Master Qian Ji?

  ‘Don’t tell me… he’s in trouble?’

  Chapter 443 - In Big Trouble

  “So what’s the matter?” Tang Hao asked grimly.
