Wan Family, study.
Wan Qingyun rested her chin in her hand, lost in thought, the melancholy between her brows as deep as a long night.
Her expression showed she was missing someone.
"Sigh… It's already been three days…" Wan Qingyun sighed softly, her slender fingers tracing circles on the table.
She could grit her teeth and endure one day, and two days passed by just sleeping early.
But what about this third day?
Now, she had no desire to read, and her mind kept wandering while processing documents.
Wan Qingyun flopped onto the desk, her body gently shifting: "Why hasn't he come back yet?"
Wan Xiaoxiao passed by the study and scoffed when she saw her sister's movements.
Hmph, she's thinking about that dead man again!
In the wilderness on the border of Country M, a jeep was driving, raising clouds of yellow dust behind it.
"Woohoo, comfortable~" Jiang Junyi stretched lazily from the passenger seat.
He hadn't eliminated Lin Xiu, but he had injected the power of Shadow Heart into his body.
It would continuously devour Lin Xiu's true qi and meridians; it would be difficult to recover without expending great effort on treatment.
Even if he recovered, his previous Little Grandmaster strength would regress significantly.
Furthermore, Night Raven had essentially formed a mortal enmity with Dragon King Palace, so without any very special events later, it would be difficult for them to form an alliance.
"Why am I driving!" Leo drove, pouting.
She wanted to sleep, she wanted to rest!
"Oh, I put in so much effort, isn't it reasonable for me to sit in the passenger seat?" Jiang Junyi said.
"Hmm… I suppose so."
"Wei Long almost died blowing up the armored vehicle, isn't it reasonable for him to rest?"
Leo frowned, thinking carefully: "It seems so too."
"And Virgo spent a long time sniping, expending a lot of energy, isn't it reasonable for her to rest?"
Leo bit her hand: "It seems so too…"
Jiang Junyi clapped his hands: "So, it can only be you driving."
"Mmm mmm mmm…" Leo thought it over and it seemed to be true, but she was still very annoyed!
"Besides, look at the atmosphere in the back, isn't it good?" Jiang Junyi glanced at the back seat.
Leo turned her head to look, feeling a cold aura emanating from there.
She quickly turned back, concentrating on driving.
Virgo was angry.
Wang Hao wore a poker face, his folded arms trembling slightly.
He felt this chill, but he didn't know why!
He just felt that the person next to him seemed very angry.
Wang Hao mused: At a time like this, shouldn't I say something to break the ice?
He was thinking, he was brainstorming.
Finally, he decided to use his own actions as a starting point.
Wang Hao slightly turned his body: "Virgo, what do you think of my action of blowing up the armored vehicle just now?"
Jiang Junyi in the front seat slapped his forehead, it's over.
As expected, the temperature in the back dropped again.
"How?! You might as well have died there! Who cares about you?" Virgo sneered.
"To be honest, that's exactly what I intended," Wang Hao said, pinching his chin.
"Huh?!"
Virgo could no longer hold back, grabbing Wang Hao's collar: "Intended that? What do you take your life for?!"
Wang Hao frowned: "But if the armored vehicle wasn't destroyed, and the artillery fire spread out, none of us would have survived."
"You clearly could have had a better way!" Virgo's eyes were filled with coldness, her face like frost.
"In that situation, only my choice was certain, without any flaws," Wang Hao said with a serious expression, answering Virgo's question very earnestly.
Indeed, this topic was quite good; at least it could pique Virgo's interest.
"Good, very good." Virgo was so angry her chest heaved, and her breathing became a little rapid.
"From now on, you go on missions by yourself; I will never partner with someone who doesn't value their life like you!" Virgo released her grip and pushed Wang Hao away.
The two ears in the front row were almost pressed against the back row.
"Go back!" Virgo snapped.
Jiang Junyi and Leo immediately sat up straight, whistling in unison.
He understood; Virgo clearly had some affection for Wang Hao, and perhaps had similar painful experiences in the past, which ignited Virgo's anger.
Jiang Junyi shook his head, sigh, Wang Hao, Wang Hao, you need to wise up!
However, seeing such a scene, his thoughts also drifted to the other side of the continent.
Wan Qingyun's baby… what is she doing right now? Is she thinking of me?
Hehe, this surprise god flower is quite beautiful, Qingyun will definitely like it.
After an unknown period of driving, the jeep stopped in an open area.
The four got out of the car and waited for some time.
"Buzz buzz buzz — Da da da!"
The sound of helicopter propellers came from overhead.
Feng Liuliu stood on the helicopter, smiling as he lowered a rope: "Everyone, was it smooth?!"
Jiang Junyi gave a thumbs-up upwards and hooked the rope.
"Going home~"
...
After nearly another day of travel, when the group returned to Xingluo Daycare Center, night had already fallen.
The Black Palace members entered in single file, while Jiang Junyi stopped at the entrance: "You report the mission. I'll leave first. If there's another situation, I'll appear again."
"Eh? Shadow, you're not staying here?" Leo asked, puzzled.
Jiang Junyi turned, his great cloak billowing, and tilted his head slightly: "Shadows should lurk in the darkness, hunting those filthy fools."
With that, his figure gradually disappeared into the night.
"Wow oh… Shadow is so cool… No, I need to come up with a similar line…" Leo bit her finger as she walked into Xingluo Daycare Center.
This time, Shadow's demeanor truly opened her eyes; his deterrence against enemies was simply maxed out.
Leo had no particular hobbies, she just loved fighting and battling, dedicated to making enemies kneel upon first sight.
This time, Shadow, whether in his entrance or his lines, completely outshone her.
Inside Xingluo Daycare Center, the atmosphere was very strange.
Feng Liuliu specifically prepared "celebratory wine," but why were Virgo and Wang Hao so strange?
One sat at one end, the other at the other end.
Normally, these two would sit together.
Feng Liuliu and Liang Qiqi exchanged glances, feeling the atmosphere between the two was somewhat subtle.
The thoughtful Leo had just sat in the middle when she suddenly felt a chill from the other side.
She glanced at Virgo, then obediently got up and walked to her room upstairs.
Never mind, I'll just go to sleep first.
Feng Liuliu pushed up his glasses, came to Wang Hao, and leaned on the bar: "What happened between you and Virgo?"
Wang Hao looked at Feng Liuliu blankly, thankfully he still remembered to lower his voice: "I don't know… My actions during the operation seemed to make her very angry…"
Feng Liuliu raised an eyebrow: "Tell me about it."
"This and that, and so on."
"You have to understand, the situation at the time was truly very urgent." Wang Hao's face showed a look of heroic sacrifice, mixed with a hint of small pride.
Feng Liuliu sighed softly: "Is it possible that when the armored vehicle passed by, you could have thrown out the magnetic bomb?"
"Uh, but that has uncertainty," Wang Hao frowned.
"Armored vehicles owned by mercenary groups like this usually don't exceed a hundred kilometers per hour, at most sixty or seventy."
Feng Liuliu pushed up his glasses: "You are a Half-Step Little Grandmaster, infinitely close to a Little Grandmaster. With your eyesight and arm strength, you couldn't have thrown the bomb?"
"Uh…" Wang Hao's CPU began to run frantically.
"Besides your actions, you jumped out to face so many gun lines, doesn't that have uncertainty?"
Feng Liuliu's glasses reflected a wise light.
"Heh, people who don't value their lives naturally find the most brainless methods the most effective."
"Thud!"
Virgo sneered, drained her celebratory wine in one gulp, slammed the glass heavily on the table, and walked back to her room.
Feng Liuliu shook his head: "I suggest you watch more emotional TV shows and read books."
Liang Qiqi also walked over at this moment, patting Wang Hao's shoulder: "Brother, watching some emotional TV dramas isn't bad either."
Wang Hao frowned, could it be… I really have a problem?
But what does this have to do with emotional things?
He shook his head, drained his celebratory wine: "Never mind, let's go to sleep first."
On the other side, Jiang Junyi had already arrived at the Wan Family entrance, feeling somewhat dazed.
Four days, he felt like four years had passed.
"Wan Qingyun's baby, I'm here~"
