"Even my dad got called away, what on earth happened?"
Qi Xiaoshuang, who was headed to the Stray Духовный зверь Paradise with her classmates, wondered as she watched the soldiers rushing by. The girl beside her thought for a moment and said
"Could it be, is there going to be a war again?"
"No way! Last time, we were lucky the border war didn’t erupt, how come this time..."
The topic quickly went off track, and Qi Xiaoshuang sighed at her classmate scaring themselves and said
"How could it be? If a war broke out silently, what kind of power would they have."
"Hey! Yeah! Isn’t the Божественный зверьs Envoy at your place? If they were really preparing for a big war, you’d definitely know, right? Xiao Shuang, we’re good friends, you can’t hide this from us, rest assured, we’ll keep it secret, you..."
Saying this, everyone seemed to find a mainstay and kept asking Qi Xiaoshuang, who finally persuaded them to relax, glanced at the nearby square, and saw that there were a lot fewer people patrolling than usual, couldn’t help but sigh and said
"Isn’t it just about catching illegal Духовный зверь capturing organizations? How could it have escalated to this?"
"Could it be..."
"If you really care, I think it won’t be long before the authorities publicly announce what’s really going on."
Seeing they seemed to be thinking off course again, Qi Xiaoshuang hurriedly said, as upon careful thought, it was obvious that Maomu City’s authorities wouldn’t let this slide, otherwise Maomu City would surely descend into chaos.
Yawning, Фэн Юань glanced at the still-busy Liao Yu and Ye Hanlei and said
"Won’t you guys take a break at least? Everything’s pretty much sorted out now, right?"
Although there were quite a few who had escaped, the number of people involved this time was really overwhelming, Фэн Юань didn’t think they could catch them all in a short time. Liao Yu, picking up the car keys, helplessly said
"We can’t just ignore the follow-up, right? Moreover, we’ve already sent some who worked excessively long hours to rest. You could actually leave now."
"What if I leave and you guys bump into another leader?"
Фэн Юань said with a mischievous grin, rolling his eyes, Liao Yu said speechlessly
"How is that possible; I don’t believe our luck is that bad, unlike Huo Feng, who knows what he’s off doing."
The guy said he’d go capture those still running criminals alone, but Liao Yu and Ye Hanlei were quite worried if he’d run into trouble, after all, although he was strong, he was only just a little stronger than them, not even as strong as Фэн Юань.
Remembering the power Фэн Юань showed yesterday, Liao Yu couldn’t help but assess him, under Liao Yu’s scrutiny, Фэн Юань was uncomfortable and said
"Why are you looking at me like that! You’ve got Han Lei, haven’t you!"
"What are you thinking? I was just curious how you have such power. But never mind, maybe it’s not that interesting."
Spreading his hands, Liao Yu said, even though he hadn’t experienced it himself, he knew that the growth of most strong individuals wasn’t smooth. He figured Фэн Юань had probably gone through something, but it’s his privacy, Liao Yu didn’t want to ask.
Seeing Фэн Юань tagging along, Liao Yu and Ye Hanlei exchanged a helpless look, strictly speaking, they didn’t want Фэн Юань to continue following them.
Everyone was busy until night, most of the affairs had been dealt with, leaving only tasks piled up the past two days. But those tasks wouldn’t cause much of a stir, as it’s quite common for the Special Duty Team to have accumulated tasks, or it’s more unusual when they manage to handle all work consecutively.
"No celebratory banquet, and they don’t even know where they went."
Returning home, Фэн Юань muttered curiously, it was understandable to have no banquet, despite the Special Duty Team temporarily withdrawing from the event’s aftermath, there was always a lot to do, wouldn’t it be better to rest now?
But it’s Agunas and Veronia who worried him more, if they were really planning to leave, they wouldn’t just disappear suddenly like this, did they run into trouble?
As Фэн Юань prepared to open the door, a Magic Circle appeared beside him, and Drudgeon appeared from it, shook its ears, and looked at Фэн Юань and said
"Agunas asked me to tell you, it and Veronia are pursuing those people, they won’t return for now."
"Pursuing?"
Stunned for a moment, Фэн Юань realized it was probably after those leaders, so went off tracking them. Agunas doing this he understood, but Veronia... it wasn’t in its character to be that enthusiastic, thinking about it, Фэн Юань decided not to dwell on it.
Once Drudgeon delivered the message, it left immediately, it wasn’t without things to do. In this big incident, it too must help with the aftermath, not just it, all the Божественный зверьs in Great Xia were mobilized to catch those illegal Духовный зверь capturers.
Watching Drudgeon leave, Фэн Юань opened the door only to see Qi Xiaoshuang hugging the White Shadow Wolf and watching TV. Noticing Фэн Юань’s return, Qi Xiaoshuang said without turning her head
"Фэн Юань?"
"How’d you guess it was me?"
"Because tonight, only you might come back."
Hugging the White Shadow Wolf, Qi Xiaoshuang curled up and whispered. Scratching his head, Фэн Юань oddly approached and asked
"What’s up? Why are you the only one home today?"
"Mom and dad are joining the joint operation, and my brother is spending tonight with Yanlan, so..."
"Want to watch together?"
Only then did Фэн Юань notice Qi Xiaoshuang wasn’t curled up because she was upset, but because she was watching a horror movie. Although he didn’t quite get her logic, Фэн Юань didn’t disturb, stretching, Фэн Юань said
"No thanks, I’d like to rest properly. The past few days have been exhausting."
"Is it serious?"
"Not quite, just troublesome, given how many people are involved, not to mention the difficulty of catching them all, just sorting out the whole thing is still in progress, rather how quickly they’ve expanded is quite concerning."
Casually chatting, Фэн Юань prepared to head to his room, but with a terrifying sound effect, Qi Xiaoshuang screamed loudly, clutching her forehead, and Фэн Юань looked at her with resignation and said
"If you’re really scared, you might as well stop watching."
"No way!"
"Then at least let go of it, look how uncomfortable it looks."
Pointing at the White Shadow Wolf being tightly held by Qi Xiaoshuang, Фэн Юань said helplessly, even if it were a Духовный зверь, anyone would feel uncomfortable being squeezed like that.
Noticing the discomfort of the White Shadow Wolf in her arms, Qi Xiaoshuang hurriedly apologized and released it, and sticking its tongue out, the White Shadow Wolf jumped out from Qi Xiaoshuang’s lap, landed on the floor, shook its tail, and clawed at the carpet before lying down again.
This time, Qi Xiaoshuang didn’t pick the White Shadow Wolf up again, fearing accidentally hurting it. Glancing at Qi Xiaoshuang, the White Shadow Wolf licked its paws, squinted its eyes, and twitched its ears and tail.
"There’s still something off."
Returning to his room, Фэн Юань felt something peculiar, foresight? Didn’t seem right. Then what? With no one or Духовный зверь to muse with, once that odd feeling faded away, Фэн Юань let it go.
The next day, waking up, Фэн Юань noticed the ’Cat Ball’ outside the window, curiously walked over and asked
"Drudgeon, what’s going on again?"
"Agunas asked me to tell you, it and Veronia are pursuing those people, won’t be back for now."
"Didn’t you say this yesterday?"
Taking advantage of Drudgeon not noticing, Фэн Юань stroked Drudgeon’s fluffy body, puzzled, Drudgeon looked at Фэн Юань skeptically and said
"Did you use a foresight type of Особый приём? I just got the message from Agunas, how could I say that yesterday? I didn’t..."
What Drudgeon said afterwards went unnoticed by Фэн Юань, at this point, his brows furrowed, this seemed to have happened more than once, but who exactly? Someone capable of silently affecting him, could it be those group?
No, that can’t be right; if they had such power, they wouldn’t have been troubled by the mad Abyss. Then, who could it be?
Thinking Фэн Юань had used foreseeing to know of its arrival, Drudgeon finished speaking and turned away. Silent for a moment, Фэн Юань headed downstairs and saw Qi Xiaoshuang, busy in the kitchen with breakfast, and asked
"Were you holding the White Shadow Wolf watching horror movies last night?"
"What are you playing now? You saw it yourself when you came back last night, didn’t you?"
Qi Xiaoshuang said without turning her head. To her, it was just another one of his antics. After hearing Qi Xiaoshuang’s reply, Фэн Юань paused and chose not to bring it up.
