Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The online buzz and excitement didn’t matter to Lu Miao. She didn’t have the time nor the inclination to pay attention to it.

Shen Muhan’s recovery was going exceptionally well. After Lu Miao gave him another acupuncture session at the hospital, he was able to stand on his legs. However, he still couldn’t walk independently and needed assistance from aids or someone by his side.

As she descended the stairs, she heard that unusually crisp and penetrating sound of a bell once again in the lobby downstairs.

Following the sound, she saw a man carrying a bag of medicines. The little girl, still dressed in her pink princess dress, was clinging to his arm, her little mouth tightly biting his hand holding the bag of medicines.

The man frowned slightly, but he simply rotated his wrist, switched the bag to his other hand, and walked straight towards the exit.

The next day, Lu Miao was stunned as soon as she arrived at the school gate. Facing her was a giant Doster. estimated to be over ten meters tall. featuring her own image hanging on the side of the teaching building.

Then, from the school gate to various teaching buildings and the laboratory building, there were life-sized standees of Lu Miao everywhere.

Each standee also featured an interactive mini-game with a challenge QR code carefully designed on it.

Everyone who scanned the code and participated in the challenge automatically received a red envelope, attracting a crowd of excited students swarming around each standee, scanning and challenging themselves.

Promotional posters were also visible everywhere, and in the distance, two huge hydrogen balloons floated above the playground, each bearing one of Lu Miao’s characters, accompanied by two massive banners of encouragement.

The organizers behind the support campaign spared no expense.

Lu Siyu’s little tricks of distributing flyers everywhere were nothing in comparison. Lu Miao’s figure could be seen everywhere on campus.

Lu Miao was helpless. She could guess that all of this was undoubtedly the work of Shen Muhan.

This guy had just regained his mobility and couldn’t sit idle anymore.

As she entered the classroom, her classmates instantly cheered and crowded around her.

“Boss, you’re so cool!!!”

“So many QR codes, how did you manage to remember them all in less than ten minutes?”

“Boss, you didn’t see it, but the faces of the students in Class 1 turned green. Hahaha, it’s so satisfying. Let’s see if they dare to show off in our class in the future.”

“Boss, you didn’t see it, but the faces of Class One’s students have turned green.

Hahahaha, this is too awesome. Let’s see if they still dare to show off in our class in the future.”

After the excitement subsided, the curious group bombarded her with questions about how she could identify the QR codes. Lu Miao briefly explained the principles and patterns involved.

Upon hearing her explanation, the group immediately became enthusiastic and set off to experiment with the QR codes.

However, what seemed simple to Lu Miao was quite challenging for them as ordinary individuals.

Their eyes were nearly blinded, and they couldn’t make sense of anything.

The classroom echoed with cries of despair.

Su MO happily approached her and said, “Boss, I went to see Shen Muhan yesterday. He’s recovering well. Thank you.”

Lu Miao clicked her tongue and flicked her forehead.” He’s my classmate too.” “Hehe.” Su MO rubbed her forehead with a silly smile.

Lu Miao returned to her seat, and her phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated twice.

Taking out her phone, she saw a message from Lin Bufan.

“Boss, a mother whose daughter went missing came to me and said she wanted your help. She asked if you have any means to find clues about her daughter.”

“Missing? Shouldn’t she go directly to the police for that kind of thing?” Lu Miao replied directly.

“She has already gone to the police. Her daughter has been missing for a year, and during that time, the family has tried almost everything. They even offered a substantial reward, but apart from some scammers sending false information to claim the reward, there hasn’t been a single clue so far. Xu Xinran, the mother, has become ill from worrying and her health has deteriorated. She suddenly developed problems with her legs and can only use a wheelchair now. It was only when she had no other options left that she asked someone to find me and seek your help in trying to find any possible leads.”

Lin Bufan explained somewhat sheepishly, “I know you’re busy, and I didn’t want to bother you with such a small matter. But when I saw Xu Xinran’s pitiful situation, I decided to ask.”

When people are at their most desperate and helpless, they instinctively seek help from the mystical and elusive.

Not only the Chinese, but people all over the world are generally like that.

Therefore, it wasn’t strange that Xu Xinran would go to great lengths to find her through Lin Bufan.

Lu Miao replied directly, “Okay, got it. Send me the address and contact information.”

The information was quickly sent.

After contacting Xu Xinran over the phone and arranging to meet the next afternoon, Lu Miao bought a more mature-looking outfit from a nearby mall after school. After changing into it and doing a simple disguise, she took a taxi to the address Lin Bufan had sent.

The location was in a villa district, not as grand as the Gu family or the Lin family’s wealthy households, but still quite decent.

Lu Miao first took a stroll around the villa before finally approaching the front door and ringing the doorbell.

The door quickly opened from the inside, and a servant led her in.

There was a small garden on the right side of the door. There were scattered wildflowers on the lawn. Large patches of roses had already withered, and on the branches were bright red, blood-drop-shaped fruits.

Under the green leaves, clusters of red had a unique flavor.

Walking along the stone path, she entered the living room and saw a young woman sitting in a wheelchair looking out. She looked haggard and could not help but be stunned when she saw her.

Although Lu Miao had tried to make herself look more mature during her disguise, she still appeared somewhat young.

The difference between her appearance and the image of those wise and mature masters with graying temples in Xu Xinran’s impression was quite significant.

“Are you… Lu Qi, Master Lu?” Xu Xinran asked, her voice filled with uncertainty.

Lu Miao nodded and quickly surveyed the living room.

The overall decoration had a country-style charm, with floral curtains, tablecloths, flowers on the table, and cabinets along the walls, all adorned with flowers.

Even the air in the room was filled with a faint floral fragrance.

“I have already gathered some information about your daughter’s situation. I would like to take a look at her room,” Lu Miao said.

Finding a person wasn’t difficult. She just needed to locate clothing or items with her daughter’s aura and use the Soul Tracking technique.

Her own room would be the place with the strongest aura and the best effect for the spell.

“Alright, follow me.”

Xu Xinran nodded eagerly and signaled for the servant to push her wheelchair into the elevator.

Lu Miao followed her to the second floor, and the wheelchair stopped at the second door on the left.

The door opened to reveal a warmly decorated children’s room. It was immaculate, indicating that it was regularly cleaned.

There was a water bottle, a drawing book, and even a rocking horse on the table.

Approaching the table, Lu Miao was about to reach for the water bottle when she noticed a fallen photo frame nearby. She casually picked it up.

As she looked at the photo inside the frame, her hand froze. Turning her head to Xu Xinran, she asked, “Is this your daughter?”
