The next day, early morning.
The dining room of the stone villa was bustling with activity as everyone ate various fruits, wild vegetables, and beef, while discussing the mission they were about to undertake.
Jiang Shou, after serving the Wei Yu team's table, continued to cook. Beside him, Jiang La Tu opened the portal to the Mirror Villa, constantly handing out breakfast.
Jiang Xiao sat at the table, devouring his food, and said, "According to Jiu Xing Mou's (Nine Star Eyes) positioning, she should be on the Isle of Skye in the United Kingdom."
Er Wei held a fresh flower cake, taking a small bite, her eyes, however, fell on Jiang Shou and Jiang La Tu, who were busy in the open kitchen.
Jiang Xiao followed her gaze but didn't explain anything.
This surprised Er Wei.
Normally, Jiang Xiao could understand her intentions with a single look or movement, which made her comfortable around him. She wasn't a talkative person, and Jiang Xiao's responses to her actions always satisfied her.
But this time, he didn't offer an explanation.
Er Wei threw the remaining half of the fresh flower cake into her mouth, rubbed the crumbs from her fingers, faced Jiang Xiao, and asked, "Who is in there?"
Jiang Xiao ate his meat without responding.
In fact, he had been thinking about it for a long time but didn't know how to communicate with Er Wei.
Er Wei quietly watched Jiang Xiao, unmoving.
The slightly noisy dining table gradually quieted down.
Jiang Xiao felt a shiver down his spine and decided to launch a scumbag offensive!
No response, just a counter-question!
Avoid the important, shift the contradiction!
Jiang Xiao raised his head, wiped his mouth, and said, "You're so smart, you should already know from my reaction."
Er Wei: "Where did you go last night?"
Jiang Xiao took a deep breath and said, "You're so smart, you should already know."
Er Wei suddenly reached out, grabbed Jiang Xiao's collar, and pulled him close to her: "Speak."
"Hey, hey, let's talk nicely, don't be impulsive." Jiang Xiao pried at Er Wei's fingers with one hand, muttering, "I just fed you! Are you turning on me after eating?"
"Ugh~ this is difficult..." Jiang Xiao pried for a long time but couldn't pry open her fingers that were clutching his collar. Helpless, he scratched his head awkwardly and said, "This time, we're likely going to the old nest of Hua Xing, so... I called in some reinforcements, my other teammates."
The Wei Yu team members didn't know what was happening. Looking at the appearances of Luan Lv and Jiang Lv, they couldn't help but quiet down and started watching the drama.
"She's back too," Er Wei said in a hoarse voice.
Jiang Xiao nodded slightly and said, "Don't... don't be impulsive, you can't beat her."
Er Wei: ???
"Uh..." Jiang Xiao stammered, and said awkwardly, "I mean, she's very strong and can provide us with a lot of help, you know, she's a control-type, very useful to us."
Saying that, Jiang Xiao pinched the hand that was tightly gripping his collar, and said, "Let's put the past aside first... eh, never mind, let's solve it separately!"
The conflict between Er Wei and San Wei hasn't existed for just a day or two, nor can it be resolved overnight. Jiang Xiao just hopes that Er Wei can temporarily put aside some things, seek common ground while reserving differences, and get past the Hua Xing hurdle first.
Of course, before carrying out the Hua Xing mission, it's appropriate to explain clearly to these two old Wei Yu members that this mission isn't a game, but a life-or-death situation, and there can be no carelessness.
Saying that, Jiang Xiao disappeared with Er Wei in a flash.
Er Wei also immediately changed from a sitting to a standing position, but... her hand didn't loosen, still carrying Jiang Xiao.
She looked around and found herself in a dark dungeon. Not far away, a Chuijiuyugui (Pestle and Mortar Hell Ghost) shrouded in black mist was leaning against a stone pillar, dozing off.
"Hey, let go," Jiang Xiao gently patted her hand.
In private with Jiang Xiao, Er Wei's mentality has changed a lot. She slowly let go of her hand, didn't leave, just remained expressionless, hiding all her emotions in her heart.
The next moment, Jiang La Tu also flickered into the dungeon, casually opening the portal to the Mirror Villa.
Er Wei silently watched the portal, for a long time, no figure walked out of it.
And in the Mirror Villa - Gallery, the Blind Woman stood with her hands behind her back, behind the circle mask, her dark eyes flickered slightly, looking at the oil paintings on the wall, seemingly a little restless.
Behind her, Ba Ze crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, and said, "You have to meet eventually. We are a team fighting together, not fighting alone."
"Having met, what should I say?" The Blind Woman murmured softly, but didn't move her feet a bit.
Ba Ze summoned a red balloon, loosened his hand, and the balloon floated towards the Blind Woman, saying: "It's all for avenging Yi Wei. Your goals are the same.
She's also a reasonable person. Until now, she hasn't said not to let you join, maybe... she might even be looking forward to seeing you.
From some perspectives, you two are the same kind of person, both very clear about what you want."
Bang!
The red balloon burst open, wisps of mist surrounded the Blind Woman, the Blind Woman's body stiffened slightly, after a few seconds, she returned to normal.
Ba Ze said: "Go, I don't have the ability to let her come find you. You also slept in her bed, I can feel your feelings for her."
The Blind Woman lowered her head and said softly, "If there were no guilt, it would be better to meet."
Saying that, her body turned into a mass of ink, shattering open.
Appearing again, she was already at the portal of the Mirror Villa.
In the dungeon, under the gaze of Er Wei's faint eyes, a long leg stepped out of the portal, then... a figure wearing a white robe and a circle mask walked out.
You can't see her face, but you can see those eyes that have no whites, no pupils, only dark ink.
Er Wei's brow furrowed slightly...
Familiar figure, familiar smell, but... no familiar Night Watch uniform anymore.
For a time, the two silently looked at each other, the dark dungeon, frighteningly quiet.
Putting myself in their shoes, Jiang Xiao didn't know what kind of mood to use to face such a comrade-in-arms.
Er Wei's Star Warrior career must have suffered many blows.
But the only ones who can really hurt her are the closest comrades.
She gave all her trust to her comrades, but the Blind Woman suddenly left, it's hard to imagine how big of a blow this was to Er Wei.
Judging only from the results, in the days that followed, Er Wei was demoted to the Snowfield Other Dimension and stationed for the rest of her life because she was unwilling to reorganize the team and did not accept the teammates assigned by her superiors.
Er Wei also threw an olive branch to Jiang Xiao, who was still in the Star Dust Realm, during a mission and decided on him.
Everything is unrelated to strength, only related to loyalty.
The Blind Woman, without a doubt, is the person who changed Er Wei's life.
And then, the death of Yi Wei, the team's old brother, allowed these two people, who should have never seen each other again, to meet again.
As for the Blind Woman's state of mind at this time... it's even more complicated, so complicated that Jiang Xiao is a little scared, afraid that she will do something she shouldn't do under relatively extreme emotions.
Aside, Chuijiuyugui (Pestle and Mortar Hell Ghost) also woke up from a dream, the dungeon was still quiet, but there were undercurrents.
Since Chuijiuyugui (Pestle and Mortar Hell Ghost) settled in the Calamity Shadow World, it has never felt such a terrible atmosphere.
What ghosts are they? Such a strong aura?
Jiang Xiao scratched his head annoyedly, the atmosphere was terribly depressing in the dark environment, if the Blind Woman wasn't his Star Abode little teammate, he would have run away already!
One Star Ember Grand Dharma God, one Starry Sky Great Battle Master, who can withstand it?
Hua Xing can't withstand it!!!
If only I had Bless, I would heal you all, put you hand in hand on the bed, that's how I should treat you old Wei Yu!
Jiang La Tu didn't close the portal, because Jiang Xiao didn't have perception and couldn't see clearly in the dark, so he could only barely see the surrounding environment with the faint light of the portal.
Jiang Xiao couldn't stand these two "female stone sculptures" facing each other, he stepped forward, stood between the two, waved to Chuijiuyugui (Pestle and Mortar Hell Ghost), and said, "Xiao Er, bring the wine! Bring the top-grade Daughter's Red!"
Chuijiuyugui (Pestle and Mortar Hell Ghost) hid behind the stone pillar, tilted its head, curiously looking at Jiang Xiao, he... hasn't reached the level of being able to understand Chinese.
Jiang Xiao made a gesture of holding a bowl and eating rice, and a gesture of tearing a chicken leg next to his mouth, while smacking his lips: "ia~ia~"
Chuijiuyugui (Pestle and Mortar Hell Ghost) reacted, stepped forward, and set up a ghost feast in this dungeon.
"Since you're not talking, then let's just drink." Jiang Xiao threw out a Star Power thread, and instantly teleported, the people on the north and south sides of the table were instantly brought to the ghost feast table.
Whoosh~
As expected of old Wei Yu, the reactions were exactly the same, both took a step back.
Didn't retreat out of the ghost feast range by two meters, it doesn't matter.
Jiang Xiao picked up Daughter's Red, threw a jar to Er Wei behind him, and threw a jar to the Blind Woman opposite him.
He also picked up a jar of wine, opened the lid: "I came later, I can't control what happened in your old days.
But at this time, we three have the same goal.
After drinking this jar of wine, the two teams are temporarily one.
I don't care how you two get along, but during the mission, there will be no carelessness."
As soon as the voice fell, Jiang Xiao raised his head and poured: "Glug~ Glug~ Glug~ Hic~"
Half the wine was drunk, half was spilled.
Jiang Xiao also just realized that drinking so boldly can also wash your face at the same time...
Jiang Xiao put down the wine jar, looked at the two women holding the wine jars in front and behind, couldn't help but curl his lips: "I, your brother, have already finished drinking, what are you two doing? Not generous at all~"
Jiang Xiao picked up another jar of Daughter's Red, opened the bottle cap, and said to the Blind Woman in front of him, "Star Abode, Jiang Xiao, invites you to drink."
The Blind Woman reached out and grabbed the red cloth cover.
Jiang Xiao turned his head to look behind him, picked up the wine jar, and said to Er Wei, "Wei Yu, Jiang Xiao, invites you to drink."
Er Wei hesitated for a moment, and silently pulled out the red cloth stopper.
"Looks like, I still have some face." Jiang Xiao smacked his lips and raised his head to pour again.
The Blind Woman silently took off the stone mask, lowered her eyes, and poured as soon as she raised her head.
Er Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and for a time, a cold aura filled the entire dungeon, scaring Chuijiuyugui (Pestle and Mortar Hell Ghost) to shrink its neck.
The Blind Woman remained unmoved, still holding the jar and drinking.
Er Wei picked up the wine jar with one hand in front of her face, letting the wine flow down, falling into her mouth.
The Blind Woman finished drinking the wine in the jar, silently embraced it in front of her, lowered her eyes, and said softly, "After Hua Xing, I will no longer disturb you, I will not be an eyesore in front of you."
Er Wei held the wine jar in one hand in front of her face, letting the wine flow down, without any response.
Jiang Xiao waved to Chuijiuyugui (Pestle and Mortar Hell Ghost), and let the hell ghost fill a few jars, he picked up the Daughter's Red on the table again, threw it to the Blind Woman, and also threw it to Er Wei behind him.
Er Wei embraced the flying wine jar with one hand, raised her face, and also drank the last drop of the first jar.
Jiang Xiao grabbed the red cloth stopper and opened another jar: "Don't let resentment be remembered in your heart, you and I are just a few jars of wine."
"Continue!" He grinned, "You're all from Beijiang, after drinking, let's talk about the future!"
