“Whatever you are thinking, stop right this instant. Heipaoshi is definitely out of your league. He possesses all the powers and is ruthless in a fight. He wears a mask and a black robe. If you see this figure anywhere then you know you have to run,” the cat replied in all seriousness, giving Zhao Yunlan a shrewd look.

“You and your funny weapon would be no match for him,” he added, as if he suspected Zhao Yunlan of having an amazing plan of assassinating the Dixing general.

Da Qing maintained that by being nearby he could keep an eye on these newly arrived Dixingren. After all, it was his job as Deputy Chief of SID to maintain the peace of Haixing.

Professor Shen was in regular clothes, but there was still some of the Black-Cloaked Envoy’s gravity about him. It had been like that a lot lately. “Da Qing, I know it’s late, but can I give you a small assignment?”

Zhao Yunlan wants to use the Merit Brush to try to fix Shen Wei's energy imbalance. Shen Wei isn't as convinced, but has always been bad at saying no to Zhao Yunlan.

Da Qing has been wandering for a long time. Long enough, and far enough, that he has long since stopped being able to keep track.

He doesn't mind; he is a cat, after all, and he loves his freedom. He loves the feel of the dirt under his paws, loves following the scents in the wind, going wherever his nose and his heart take him. The landscape stretches away, the days go on, and so does he. He only knows three things for certain — that he is part of the majestic Cat Tribe, that he had a master once, and that he will see them again one day. The rest is just fish, and sunlight, and life.

Da Qing's subjects are having problems, so he magnanimously decides to help them out.

Four Dragon City University students have a conversation in the student lounge, and the world changes.

Guo Changcheng believes that something is very wrong with him. He's constantly in a sweat, his hands shake, and his heart always feels like it's being crushed in a trash compactor. Maybe his job at the SID is getting to him, but he started to think that he was coming down with something serious soon after he walked through the office doors on his first day. Whatever it was, he's very, very certain it will kill him one day, and soon. So he seeks the help of local biology professor and Dixingian expert Shen Wei. Shen Wei's diagnosis isn't what he expects.

Shen Wei watched him, Luo Fei.

“Statement from—oh. That’s, interesting? It’s not as long as I expected. Statement from Ye Zun regarding a city in the dark."

Da Qing considers the implications of having Shen Wei in his territory.
