"Are they Chinese?"

The sobs and wailing of the crowd were interrupted by the abrupt question. Then, everyone stared blankly at the man slowly approaching them. Their eyes were filled with terror.

What's going on? Weren't all the Miyazaki family members supposed to be dead? How come there's still one left? Could this one be the strongest? Can our benefactor still defeat him?

They had heard many stories, and often the most powerful one was the last to appear. Everyone turned to look at Tang Yue in alarm.

Tang Yue saw that the person who came didn't say anything, which saved her the time of looking for him.

How did you find your way here?

Gu Yanxi shrugged. "You've caused such a commotion, it's impossible for me not to know. But, I'm sorry, I wanted to come and help, but..."

He spread his hands, "This is really too much for me. I didn't have a chance to make a move at all. I could only kill a few small fry on the outermost edge."

The disabled man seemed relieved. "My benefactor, do you know him?"

Tang Yue didn't answer his question, but instead asked, "Do you remember your name?"

The disabled man was taken aback by the question. Since they were brought here, they had been referred to by numbers, and no one had asked his name for a very long time. He seemed to have forgotten his own name.

"My name is Wen Quan?" He wasn't even sure what his name was.

At this moment, Gu Yanxi had already walked to Tang Yue's side. He looked her up and down, and after confirming that Tang Yue was alright, he asked, "How are you? Do you need to treat your wounds first?"

Tang Yue shook her head, her gaze fixed on the disabled man. "You've forgotten your own name?"

Wen Quan was taken aback, then smiled and shook his head. "No, it's just that I haven't called out that for so long, and I was a little insecure just now. But now I'm sure I am Wen Quan."

Tang Yue nodded. "They all seem to listen to you."

Wen Quan did not deny it, "We were all arrested and brought here in batches. I was arrested when I was fourteen. We tried to resist 11 times, and the last time they broke both my legs."

Wen Quan didn't elaborate on the details, but Tang Yue could imagine the hardships they had endured over the years. Gu Yanxi's gaze swept over everyone, but no one could catch the occasional emotions that flickered in his eyes.

"Were they captured by the Japanese?" Gu Yanxi asked in Mandarin this time.

Wen Quan looked up at Gu Yanxi. "Are you also Chinese?" Gu Yanxi didn't look at Wen Quan at this moment, but kept staring at Tang Yue. He was testing whether the little girl in front of him was the person he had met before.

Tang Yue no longer hid it, but she was currently consuming a lot of spiritual energy, and changing her face would also consume spiritual energy, so she didn't want to do it anymore.

"Do you have something urgent to do? Can you help me?"

Gu Yanxi felt relieved. He hadn't expected that his detour would lead him to the person he needed to protect. However, he didn't rush to tell Tang Yue. Instead, he said calmly, "You'd better contact your battalion commander first. They're frantic with worry because they can't find you."

Tang Yue was taken aback. "Chang Yin is looking for her? What does he want? She's doing fine here. She hasn't finished her business and doesn't want to go back yet."

Gu Yanxi simply shrugged, then looked at everyone with a sympathetic expression, "You want to send them back to their country?"

Tang Yue didn't deny it, but even if Gu Yanxi hadn't said anything, she would have contacted the battalion commander today. Tang Yue figured that since the county town had already fallen, the fastest and most efficient way to contact them was by phone.

Tang Yue had just lifted her foot when Gu Yanxi pressed down on her shoulder. "Little girl, I think you should first consider how to settle these people. After all, it won't be long before someone comes over to check on the situation."

"You mean people from other places?"

Gu Yanxi nodded, "Although Guanqi County has been taken over by the Miyazaki family, even the strongest iron plate has its cracks. Someone must have already passed on the news about this place."

The Miyazaki family has been entrenched here for so many years; it's impossible that no one knows the secrets of Guanqi County. Now that Guanqi County is in trouble, many people will surely come to claim a piece of the pie.

So, do you think they'll crawl over like snails?

Tang Yue felt that Gu Yanxi's words made a lot of sense. Enduring the sharp pain in her head, Tang Yue used her consciousness to check the situation at the port of Guanqi County. The port had not been affected by the spiritual fire and was still intact.

However, the number of ships was clearly much smaller. Tang Yue knew Gu Yanxi was right; many people had already taken advantage of the chaos to leave. Tang Yue turned to look at Gu Yanxi, "Take them to the dock first, find the largest ship, and have them board and wait for me. Make sure you have enough supplies."

Gu Yanxi...

He really wanted to refuse. His mission was to protect the little girl in front of him. Oh right, he hadn't confirmed with her yet.

As Tang Yue turned to leave, a man's voice came from behind her, "Tang Yue, aren't you coming with us?"

Tang Yue paused for a moment. It was normal for her to recognize Gu Yanxi, but how did Gu Yanxi recognize her face now?

Seeing her doubt, Gu Yanxi sighed, "There's no need to doubt it anymore. I think there's no other girl in this world as capable as you and the same height."

Tang Yue narrowed her eyes slightly. Very well, Gu Yanxi's words were indeed too pleasant to hear. Tang Yue turned to leave, and Gu Yanxi, unaware that he had said anything wrong, called out to Tang Yue, "Hey, little girl, you haven't answered my question yet!"

Tang Yue ignored him and flew directly towards Miyazaki Feng's house. This was the closest place to Miyazaki Feng's house; she remembered he had quite a few telephones there. This place was also far from where Tang Yue had just fought, so it hadn't been affected by the battle too much.
