[Note: Synesthesia talent can be activated actively or passively, and its characteristics are—]

3. When combined with the characteristics of the data-driven panel, the ability to determine the physical properties of objects is enhanced tenfold.

strong enough!

Dong Guanfei desperately wanted it; possessing this talent would definitely give him wings.

But he also really wants the talent for dangerous intuition.

Moreover, the information revealed in the witch's inner thoughts is quite rich.

Option 2 carries a high risk of injury and will most likely involve fighting a powerful enemy.

But do you expect a man with the mental age of 36, who remains unfazed even when the A-shares market drops 30 points in a single day, to act like a "chuunibyou" (a person with delusions of grandeur)?

This art style is off...

"Option 3" indicates the level of a formidable opponent, but makes no mention of the injury.

In other words, as long as the little witch Zhao Huibao obediently follows his orders, he won't get hurt?

But those are masters of "True Qi" and "Spiritual Energy"!

Are you kidding me?!

Are you kidding me!

It's a long story, but it was actually just a matter of a fleeting thought.

Enraged for no apparent reason, Dong Guanfei immediately made a choice. His face hardened, "I can protect you, but you must obey my orders during that time."

The three men next to him immediately froze.

What the heck?

You, a mere early-stage "Transcendental" cultivator whose aura is not yet stable, dare to issue orders?

The lean man sneered inwardly, a mocking smile curving his lips, a hint of anticipation creeping into his heart.

Is it still necessary?

court death!

When has Miss Zhao ever obediently listened to others?

However, Zhao Huibao was indeed taken aback, but a glint suddenly flashed in her eyes.

interest!

An undisguised interest!

To be honest, a young man with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and a sculpted, handsome face can actually look quite dignified when he puts on a serious face.

Funny, hehe...

Just as she was secretly excited, the handsome young man opposite her said without hesitation, "Since you can't do it, then forget it." Then he turned around and left without hesitation.

In her haste, she blurted out, "Wait! I agree."

The three men and one woman could hardly believe their ears.

Did the sun rise in the west today?

Even if Zhao Huibao ordered Dong Guanfei's legs to be broken immediately, they wouldn't find it so hard to accept.

The title of "little devil" that she's worn for over a decade can't be fake...

Could it be that her temper improved a lot after she went abroad to study for two years?

No way!

Zhao Huibao was probably trying to trick him.

That's right, that's it!

Just then, a gentle voice sounded from behind Zhao Huibao: "Huibao, what did you agree to?"

Dong Guanfei turned around again and immediately saw a bright and beautiful face.

This face has a bold shape, yet the features are delicate. The most attractive feature is a pair of almond-shaped eyes that look affectionate and possess a naturally pitiful charm.

In layman's terms, it means he looks at dogs with deep affection.

At that moment, a hint of amazement flashed across his face, but Dong Guanfei, still burning with excitement and completely unaffected, emphasized again, "Are you sure?"

His tone was calm, but Zhao Huibao had an inexplicable intuition that if she hesitated for even a second, he would leave decisively and without any hesitation.

"I'm sure!"

"Very good, I'll remember your words! Then I'll take on the task of escorting you home."

A big smile immediately bloomed on Zhao Huibao's little face, just like a little girl who had just received her favorite toy.

Dong Guanfei solemnly stated, "Furthermore, if we face a gold-level opponent, I will pay more."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone around him immediately turned serious.

A glint of light flashed in the eyes of the beautiful woman.

Combat is not child's play; a bounty hunter would not joke about something like this.

Moreover, regardless of the aura Dong Guanfei exuded, his imposing presence never wavered from beginning to end; one could even say that he completely disregarded others.

Logically speaking, he should have been able to sense that the other three had stronger auras.

Even Zhao Huibao had reached the early stage of "Transformation into Mortal" and her aura was stable.

Yes.

He reached the "Transcendental" realm at such a young age, he is undoubtedly a genius.

But among these four people of the same age, who isn't a genius?

But when it comes to facing off against a gold-level opponent, they will definitely have a tough time.

Or you can try it in the early stages of the Gold level, but don't even think about it in the mid-to-late stages. You'll be lucky if you can escape with your life.

But what are their identities?

This also shows that Dong Guanfei, who is roughly on the same level as them, is definitely not a simple person.

No matter how you look at it, Dong Guanfei seems to be just a novice who is new to the world and doesn't know his own limitations.

But these seemingly reckless young people with impressive backgrounds are even more troublesome.

For a moment, none of the three men knew how to respond.

The capable man was on high alert.

Zhao Huibao looked at the serious-looking Dong Guanfei with a smile, "No problem, how would you like to add it?"

"It depends on the situation. Whether it's repelling, wounding, or killing, the price will vary depending on the circumstances. We'll determine the price at that time."

"Okay, do you have any other requests?"

Zhao Huibao blinked, her tone gentle, appearing very considerate.

"That's all for now, let's get the paperwork done."

Dong Guanfei took the explanatory letter out of his coat pocket and handed it to her.

She took the letter with both hands and handed it to the distinguished young man, saying, "Second Brother, get it done quickly."

Ugh......

The man couldn't help but sigh.

They originally wanted to find some cannon fodder, but unexpectedly a potential time bomb infiltrated the group.

However, this kid's cultivation level is passable, so he shouldn't be an enemy spy.

The key issue is that he couldn't refuse his younger sister's request; otherwise, the old man's whip would be no joke.

He handed the letter to the middle-aged, refined man, who then turned to Dong Guanfei and said, "Sir, please give me your silver badge. It will be done very quickly."

Dong Guanfei immediately handed over the silver badge, and the middle-aged, refined man took it and immediately walked towards the villa's hall.

"Sir, I am Zhao Huibao. What is your name?"

Zhao Huibao paid no attention to the etiquette that women in this era should pay attention to when making friends.

"I am 'Ruthless,' you can also call me Mr. Li."

Zhao Huibao's eyes lit up.

What "Mr. Li"?

What's more exciting than "ruthless"?

"Alright, Wuqing, let me introduce you. This is my elder brother, Zhao Guanghua. He is in charge of the entire caravan's affairs."

Dong Guanfei nodded slightly to Zhao Guanghua without saying anything.

After all, his nickname is "Ruthless," so he has to maintain a certain level of sophistication.

Zhao Guanghua was both annoyed and amused, feeling that this was indeed a hothead among the scions of a prominent family.

Why are you so sure?

In this era, a person's skin color, physique, and temperament silently reveal their approximate social class.

Putting aside everything else, Dong Guanfei's fair and delicate skin is something that ordinary people can't achieve.

Exposed to wind and sun, toiling away, and enduring hunger are all cruel butcher's knives that ravage people.

Zhao Huibao seemed completely oblivious to the awkwardness between the two and continued introducing, "This is Zhang Fubao, the owner of 'Ruyi Zhai'."

Dong Guanfei was still furious, but he only raised his eyelids slightly.

But he instantly became more aware of Zhang Fubao's importance.

"Ruyi Zhai" is one of the four major jade and antique shops in Shanghai. It is said that its business extends all over the world. Even the original owner of this body was very familiar with it because of the constant promotion by two friends.

Zhang Fubao merely tugged at his taut face, purely out of respect for Zhao Huibao.

"This is my dear older sister, Zhang Wanxin, the head manager of the Holy Empire Kyoto Far East Chamber of Commerce."

Zhang Wanxin bowed slightly, her fragrance lingering, her voice as soft as gentle spring rain: "Hello, Mr. Li, my sister and I have always been together, so... could you... protect me at the same time?"

next moment.

A pale golden light curtain slowly opened.
