Naming Technique of the Night

In the Black Swan Restaurant, there was laughter and joy. Jindai Yunlo, dressed in a white hunting suit, shone like a pearl among the crowd.

This upscale restaurant was not lacking in celebrities or big shots from City 22.

However, someone like Jindai Yunlo, a core member of the Jindai Consortium, had an aura unmatched by anyone else—a fact even Jindai Yunhe acknowledged by leaving shortly after Yunlo's arrival.

At this moment, this playboy was taking turns playing games with everyone. Qing Chen observed with the corner of his eye for a while; this master had not lost a single game.

He charmed the dozen girls around him with both skill and sweet words.

Qing Chen sighed internally; this guy truly was a seasoned veteran in the social scene.

"Chen Sui, bring these two bottles of champagne to table number 2," Manager Wang said.

"Oh, okay, Manager Wang," Qing Chen replied, carefully carrying the two bottles of champagne over and placing them on the table.

But just as he was about to turn and leave, someone suddenly caught his wrist. The hand was fair, with fingers like those of a pianist.

In an instant, Qing Chen's tensed muscles relaxed before tightening, and he looked up at Jindai Yunlo with a smile, saying, "Hello, is there anything else you need?"

Jindai Yunlo grinned and said, "Sit down and drink with us. I know the rules at the Black Swan; you can join in drinking."

"Hmm?" Qing Chen was taken aback. He glanced back at Manager Wang, who quickly gestured for him to sit down.

Qing Chen turned back and smiled at Jindai Yunlo, "Alright, at your service."

Jindai Yunlo laughed heartily, "That's the spirit! Manager Wang, bring another bottle of champagne, one for each! We won't leave until we're drunk tonight! Celebrate... what was I celebrating again?"

Jindai Yunlo seemed to remember something and said, "Celebrate my clean exit after the examination by the ten Directors! Haha!"

Qing Chen looked at this top-tier A-Class master and suddenly sensed that Yunlo's drunken madness was not feigned.

However, that expression contrasted sharply with the pristine hunting suit, making him appear particularly pale.

Jindai Yunlo cheerfully nudged the girls beside him and said, "Don't all crowd around me, there's a gentleman here too."

The girls, in high spirits, ran over one by one and gave Qing Chen a kiss on the forehead.

Qing Chen was so tense he almost lost his temper, "Please, don't!"

But now, he was only a waiter at the Black Swan Restaurant. Even if he revealed his identity, he wasn't sure he could leave safely in front of Jindai Yunlo.

He was currently just B-Class, unable to defeat an A-Class opponent; previously, two shikigami from Jindai Yuncang nearly killed him.

After the commotion, Qing Chen had a lipstick mark on his face, and Jindai Yunlo said with satisfaction, "Don't wipe it off! Now, let's play games, and the losers must drink!"

The drinking session lasted from 10 PM to 4 AM when surprisingly, Jindai Yunlo made no attempt to leave with any of the girls. It seemed he was just there to enjoy drinking.

And Qing Chen began feigning sleep on the table from midnight.

At the moment when all the girls had passed out under the table, Jindai Yunlo suddenly straightened up and laughed, "I know who you are, and I know you're pretending to sleep. I wanted to see how long you could keep up the act, and it turns out you managed to do it for 4 hours... With so many beauties around, didn't you find it boring?"

Qing Chen sat up and looked around, realizing that the Black Swan Restaurant was empty, save for a bartender dozing off at the bar.

He knew that Jindai Yunlo must have seen through his identity and had thus brought a waiter to drink.

He also understood that it must have been due to the power of Yunwaijing.

Jindai Yunlo had returned to the Inner World and found the body of the person he had killed, using the ATS-088 shikigami, Yunwaijing, on him!

This shikigami had a distance limitation, roughly the size of a city, and he just happened to be in City 22.

Thinking of this, Qing Chen no longer panicked.

Jindai Yunlo was not there to kill him.

Qing Chen calmly asked, "So you spent all this time drinking with the women just to see how long I could fake it? That's rather dull of you."

Jindai Yunlo sat among the women, perfectly sober and upright, and Qing Chen suddenly thought of a phrase... transcending the mundane.

It seemed very fitting at this moment for Jindai Yunlo.

Jindai Yunlo chuckled with interest, "What composure, not even thinking of running. Of course, there's no shame in running; you still have more growth opportunities ahead and don't need to meet an early demise here."

"You feel superior because you know my true identity, but I also know that Yunwaijing isn't in your hands, it's with Jindai Sorajima," Qing Chen said unhurriedly, "I've heard that on the surface, you're at odds with Jindai Yunxiu and Jindai Sorajima. The Spy Bureau speculates that you managed to escape unscathed from their judgment because the ten Directors want to use you to balance Jindai Yunxiu, but now I believe your relationships might be better than they seem."

Jindai Yunlo's smile remained unchanged, "What a clever person you are, guessing so much from so little information. I was tempted to kill you right here, but tonight's a good night, so let's leave it. Since we both know each other's secrets, we should drink a toast together!"

"So why did you come looking for me?" Qing Chen asked.
