In such a solemn atmosphere, Zhu Tianqi actually burst into laughter.
Secretary Jiang's face darkened: "The seniors are talking, what are you laughing at? Come here!"
Zhu Tianqi stuck out her tongue, lowered her head, and retreated to Ye Fangjin's side.
The atmosphere became even more tense, and everyone fell silent.
Ye Fangjin then patted Zhu Tianqi: "Didn't our Night Demon sister say she was over five hundred years old? Does she look like a mummy?"
Everyone laughed.
Although the joke was a bit untimely, they knew Ye Fangjin meant no harm.
Only Zhu Tianqi looked very angry, and let out a howl, revealing her snow-white teeth: "Then I'll bite you to death first!"
"Enough!" Jun Mengyao hadn't smiled at all, her eyes never leaving Zhu Tianqi. At this moment, she coughed and said: "Little Zhu, since you are responsible for intelligence gathering, you don't need to come to the base anymore. From now on, comprehensively collect intelligence on the World Martial Arts Tournament!"
Zhu Tianqi's eyes flickered, but she looked at Ye Fangjin.
Jun Mengyao said it again in a faint voice.
Ye Fangjin felt awkward: "Little Zhu, although you are from the Night Demon organization, you must obey Jun Mengyao's orders! Execute it immediately!"
"Alright..." Only then did Zhu Tianqi leave reluctantly.
Ye Fangjin chuckled a few times and apologized to Jun Mengyao and the others: "This child hasn't undergone professional training from the Night Demon yet, she's a bit temperamental, please forgive me."
Jun Mengyao said nothing and secretly gave Li Tianxing a look.
Li Tianxing understood and followed Jun Mengyao to the depths of the base.
It was silent and absolutely secret here.
"Mengyao, are you suspicious of that Zhu Tianqi?" Li Tianxing was very direct.
Jun Mengyao said coldly: "Zhu Tianqi doesn't listen to me at all, and Ye Fangjin just took over the Night Demon organization and is eager to make a contribution. I have to warn them!"
Li Tianxing pondered: "The people gathered here are different forces under the Master. Currently, the strongest combat power belongs to Ye Fangjin's Night Demon organization. So, for the sake of unity, it's best not to take excessive action."
"Brother Li, you are right, but I must take precautions. We must transfer immediately. Let's move to another place, and tell Ye Fangjin that we can leave the base for the Night Demon organization to use!"
This way, the Su sisters, Li Tianxing's faction, and the organization controlled by Jun Mengyao could be separated from the Night Demon organization. Even if something happened to the Night Demon side, they wouldn't be wiped out.
Li Tianxing strongly agreed: "Then let's go to my villa in Chudu. Although I have retired, that villa is still a forbidden area for the Northern Region War Department. I still have this privilege."
Jun Mengyao was overjoyed: "Thank you for your support, Brother Li. I have always been worried that my prestige is not enough to suppress them."
Li Tianxing smiled: "When the Master went out before, he never appointed anyone to replace him. Even when he left Daxia for overseas, he ordered everyone to stand down. Now, he has specifically appointed you to be in charge, which must be for a reason."
Jun Mengyao smiled and turned back to the base hall.
Ye Fangjin was still explaining things to Secretary Jiang. Jun Mengyao gently slapped the table: "This place will be left for the Night Demon organization. The rest of us will transfer to Brother Li Tianxing's place."
Ye Fangjin's expression changed: "This... isn't it appropriate?"
Everyone felt that the atmosphere was a bit off.
Suddenly, Jun Mengyao's figure flashed, and she appeared directly in front of Ye Fangjin.
Ye Fangjin was startled.
Bang, Jun Mengyao grabbed his neck. Ye Fangjin, despite all his skills, couldn't use them, and was greatly shocked.
"From now on, do not question my orders!" Jun Mengyao coldly released him: "Execute it immediately!"
Ye Fangjin rubbed his neck and after a long time, bowed to accept the order.
This move, from Li Tianxing to Su Yuluo, all witnessed Jun Mengyao's prowess.
And the situation in Chudu city became even more unpredictable.
...
On the isolated island, the sun was shining brightly. Qin Yexuan collected the clothes he had hung out to dry.
Behind him, a temporary wooden hut opened, and Su Bingyan, with a flushed face, wrapped in a tattered nightgown, said softly: "Brother Xuan, my, my poison is still lingering, it's going to act up again."
It's going to act up again?
Qin Yexuan grunted and gently entered the house.
The wooden door closed, and another dual cultivation session began.
Inside the house, it was warm as spring, with only the faint light of firewood.
Su Bingyan nestled in Qin Yexuan's arms, her fingers drawing circles on his chest.
At this moment, she forgot everything.
"If only we could spend our lives on this island."
Qin Yexuan held her hand and began to put on his clothes.
Su Bingyan sighed: "Brother Xuan..."
"After leaving the island, I will still be your brother-in-law. What happens here is our secret!"
Qin Yexuan said very seriously: "Sixteen dual cultivations in three days, I have completely transferred my Golden Core to you. Starting today, I will teach you some combat techniques."
Su Bingyan watched him leave, a smile curving her lips: "It seems he's still not used to it, but he must like this kind of life as much as I do."
Sometimes, feelings are like this, being in it but unaware.
Qin Yexuan came out of the hut and sat down in the bushes, circulating his energy.
If any master saw his condition at this moment, they would be greatly astonished.
Qin Yexuan seemed to have lost his cultivation forever, and was now an ordinary person.
However, in his mind, an indescribable power was awakening!
"Kid, have you decided?"
"Decided, you can awaken part of your strength!"
"Finally, we can fight side by side again."
Qin Yexuan let out a chuckle and teased the mysterious power in his mind: "I think you've been cooped up for too long. You don't need to awaken completely; only one percent of your strength should be enough to handle the current situation."
"What do you mean? One percent? We didn't have that term back then."
"Old man, don't pretend. You should know everything I've learned over these long years."
"Haha, Qin Yexuan, I was just joking. Of course, I understand. Computers, mobile phones, I know all about them."
Qin Yexuan shook his head. He found it a bit funny that the monster within him, who fought beasts with stones thousands of years ago, now understood computers and mobile phones. Xinhua News Agency
He closed his eyes, feeling the peculiar power flow through his body.
"Just in case, I've released about two percent of my power. It's always good to be prepared."
Qin Yexuan's eyes snapped open, and a divine light flashed. The entire island, in front of and behind him, trembled violently.
At the moment of power awakening, the island couldn't withstand it. It was like an underwater volcanic eruption, sinking downwards.
Su Bingyan's figure flashed, and she rushed out of the wooden hut, looking at her surroundings in horror.
She was now at the Golden Core level of cultivation, in the state of Refining Dao Returning to Origin. With a thought, she flew into the air.
Ah, Su Bingyan flailed her limbs and quickly circulated her energy according to the techniques her brother-in-law had taught her, landing lightly on the water surface.
Qin Yexuan, who had appeared beside her at some unknown time, watched with her as the small island sank.
"An underwater volcano erupted," Qin Yexuan said, unwilling to elaborate. "Carry me on your back and go to that cruise ship over there!"
