277: Arrange identity
Gu Xiaoyue was like an observer, as her body went to the bathroom to wash up, the scene before her also changed.
She saw herself in the mirror, with excitement and joy in her eyes, but those were clearly not her emotions.
After washing up, there was a knock on the door; it was Chu Li and Shui Lingyu calling her to leave.
Gu Xiaoyue looked at her hands indifferently, her trembling hands twisting the doorknob to open the door, seeing Chu Li and Shui Lingyu standing at the entrance.
"Did you sleep well?"
Shui Lingyu asked.
Gu Xiaoyue heard her own voice, tinged with shyness and softness.
"Very well, thank you, Senior."
Chu Li and Shui Lingyu exchanged glances; they felt that Gu Xiaoyue was a bit unusual, but couldn't pinpoint what was strange.
"System, do you know what's going on?"
Gu Xiaoyue called out to the system in her mind, but its silence even made her suspect that if she had lost control of her body, the system might have been lost along with it.
Everyone went to the transportation station together and boarded an Albatross flying to Hechuan.
Since she couldn't do anything, Gu Xiaoyue simply caught up on sleep on the Albatross.
Ruijiang was even closer to Hechuan than Yunlian, landing in less than three hours.
"Xiao Yue, wake up! How can you sleep with such a strong wind? You're not dizzy again, are you?"
Duan Yao's voice rang in her ears, and Gu Xiaoyue instinctively raised her hand to rub her eyes.
She then realized that she could move normally again.
What happened that morning?
Was it a nightmare?
Gu Xiaoyue tried calling the system again, but still received no response.
Most likely, it either didn't know, or even if it did, it couldn't solve the problem.
She didn't dwell on it and first arranged for White Gaze, Zheng Jie, He Zhichen, and Qian Ce to stay at the top hotel in Hechuan.
He Zhichen would probably go to the capital with them in a couple of days, and Qian Ce's vacation was also nearing its end.
Duan Yao and Charlie returned to Nanya first, not only to retrieve their personal belongings but also to ask the principal for their withdrawal procedures.
Gu Xiaoyue, on the other hand, first went to the Beastmaster Association to find Qin Shao to arrange Dragon Country identities for White Gaze and Zheng Jie.
Chu Li and Shui Lingyu naturally didn't feel at ease with her acting alone, so they also followed her to the Beastmaster Association.
"My dear lady, you've been out of touch for a year!
I even suspected you might have struck it rich and forgotten about a small fry like me!"
When Qin Shao saw Gu Xiaoyue again, his expression was very complex, excited, surprised, and even a little aggrieved.
"Indeed, there was a bit of a situation, how could I forget you?
Still a small fry?
Are you saying that deliberately because you know I'm here to ask for a favor today and don't want to agree?"
Gu Xiaoyue crossed her arms, watching Qin Shao at her leisure.
Presumably, she must have contacted Xiao Han before and knew that she was indeed missing, not that she had found a new collaborator.
For Qin Shao, Gu Xiaoyue was a Beastmaster capable of supporting the Hechuan Beastmaster Association, so she would not easily lose the cooperation between them.
"Just tell me what you need, I'll definitely handle it perfectly for you!"
Qin Shao patted his chest grandly, confidently ready to take on Gu Xiaoyue's matter all by himself.
"I need two Dragon Country identities."
Gu Xiaoyue watched Qin Shao's confident expression turn into one of confusion.
"This—I say, Miss Gu, this isn't the Data Management Bureau, how can I just randomly arrange identities for people!"
Although Qin Shao refused verbally, the glint in his eyes was still caught by Gu Xiaoyue.
"I know not just anyone can do it, that's why I came to you!
Besides, I'm not asking you to work for free, one hundred million star coins, agree or not?
One male, one female, if you agree, I'll send you the photos!"
Qin Shao's eyes flashed with surprise; one hundred million star coins was a lot, but these few people in front of him—
He cleared his throat, putting on a very difficult expression.
"You know, if it were just me, one hundred million star coins would be too much.
But these procedures, to get them done, involve quite a few connections—"
Gu Xiaoyue lowered her eyes and chuckled softly, taking out two tianling fruits from her Yu Beast Space.
"Then please, Manager Qin, help me out!"
Every year, some Beastmasters would be reported by the Beastmaster Association to the Data Management Bureau for various reasons.
After a certain period, if no request to withdraw the data report was submitted, they would be classified as deceased and their personal household registration files would be eliminated.
So, entrusting this matter to Qin Shao was actually foolproof.
Moreover, various major families also sought reliable high-level Beastmaster Association officials each year to handle similar matters for them.
After all, powerful Beastmasters are resources, but it cannot be guaranteed that every one of them will be law-abiding.
Families capable of bringing them under their wing and clearly arranging their identities naturally also have the ability to control them.
This ensures they are not harmed and can simply treat these Beastmasters as tools.
"This—alright, alright!"
Qin Shao reluctantly accepted the tianling fruits, casting a wary glance at Chu Li and Shui Lingyu who were sitting and waiting nearby.
Gu Xiaoyue trusted them, but he couldn't!
Giving Qin Shao a reassuring look, Gu Xiaoyue opened her brain and transferred one hundred million star coins, along with photos of White Gaze and Zheng Jie.
Compared to Chu Li and Shui Lingyu betraying Qin Shao, she was more worried that Qin Shao would discover White Gaze and Zheng Jie's identities and try to gain favor from both sides.
Although such an act was both immoral and dangerous, if successful, it could save many years of struggle.
Human hearts are unpredictable, and who can guarantee human nature—
Back in Nanya, Gu Xiaoyue was not in a hurry to find the principal for the withdrawal procedures, but rather went to find Charlie first.
Qin Shao's side would take at least three to five days to complete the procedures, and she would have to report to the National Team base in the capital the day after tomorrow.
"The identity documents for White Gaze and Zheng Yi will take three to five days at the fastest, and possibly half a month at the slowest.
I have to report to the capital the day after tomorrow, so I'll have to trouble you with the follow-up matters."
Seeing Charlie's somewhat bewildered expression, Gu Xiaoyue chuckled lightly and continued.
"White Gaze and Zheng Yi have special identities, and it's not difficult for the King of Damon to find out their identities in the Dragon Country.
So, I'd like to trouble you to take them to Country of the Setting Sun and arrange identities for them there.
Moreover, this year's World Championships venue is in Country of the Setting Sun, and after it ends, we can visit the Venus Secret Realm."
Gu Xiaoyue raised an eyebrow, not forgetting that she had promised Charlie to take him to the Snow Mountain Secret Realm.
Charlie lowered his head, pondering the feasibility of what she said, and before he could answer, Gu Xiaoyue spoke again.
"Oh, and I need to exchange something with you!"
Upon hearing about an exchange, Charlie immediately became interested, "Is it a lotus, for Hanxing Grass?"
Gu Xiaoyue curved her lips and took out two black jade snow lotuses.
"It is a lotus, but not a Huanpo Lotus, this is a black jade snow lotus, which can help mature tenth and eleventh-tier pet beasts upgrade!"
Charlie stared at the black jade snow lotus in her hand, eagerly asking about the exchange ratio.
When he heard Gu Xiaoyue say she would exchange them for Hanxing Grass at a one-to-one ratio, Charlie showed an incredulous expression.
"Yue, you'll be at a huge loss! How many flowers do you plan to exchange?"
"Just two flowers.
If you think I'm at a loss, then please handle White Gaze and Zheng Yi's matters properly—"
At this point, Gu Xiaoyue's words left Charlie with no reason to refuse, and he was even afraid she would go back on her word, so he immediately gave her two Hanxing Grass plants.
"OKOK, leave it all to me!"
Gu Xiaoyue gave a dry laugh, not bothering to correct Charlie's broken Dragon Country accent, and handed him the black jade snow lotuses.
With the transaction complete, she was about to call Charlie and Duan Yao to go with her to find the principal to get the withdrawal procedures.
But as she turned, there was another inexplicable dizziness.
Her body swayed uncontrollably, and then she slumped to the ground.
Just like in the morning, she had lost control of her body again!
"Hey Yue, are you tired again?"
Charlie's somewhat worried inquiry came from beside her, and she instinctively wanted to answer, but her own mouth let out a soft voice again.
"No, I'm fine, I have something to do, I'm leaving first!"
Gu Xiaoyue followed her body out of Charlie's room.
She felt as if her soul was confined within this body's vessel, shielded, unable to perceive any mental activity controlling this body.
She could no longer even feel the dizziness, pain, or any other sensations of this body.
"System, you'd better come out honestly and explain what's going on!"
..."
The system's continued silence made Gu Xiaoyue even more irritated.
"If you are contracted with this body, you can continue to ignore me—
But if you are contracted with me, if I can't do anything, then you can't achieve your ultimate goal either!"
