Chang Yin didn't want to pay attention to Wang Chao, but his shouting was ultimately not a good thing. "Battalion Commander Wang, the procedures on the South Island have been prepared. Comrade Tang Yue will strictly follow the procedures when she returns."

Wang Chao was very unwilling. His commander had repeatedly instructed him to bring this little girl to their port. But just now, in his excitement, he hadn't even greeted her. Oh dear, he really lost out.

Wang Chao blinked, his lips moving but he didn't know what to say. He watched helplessly as Chang Yin led his men away, then slammed his hand on the railing, filled with resentment and bitterness.

Tang Jianye and his group didn't expect to be separated from Tang Yue so soon. Standing on the deck, they waved to Tang Yue, and Tang Jianye shouted, "Tang Yue, I know you're on South Island."

Tang Yue waved to Tang Jianye, who continued, "Tang Yue, are we good friends?"

Good friend? This term was still quite new to Tang Yue. She seemed to have another friend, Lai Xiang. Thinking of good friends, Tang Yue thought Tang Jianye was a decent person. She spoke softly, but her voice clearly reached Tang Jianye.

"Yes, we're good friends. Have a great review in advance!"

Tang Jianye...

Is this what good friends are like? He scratched his head. But he understood what Tang Yue meant. If he failed the test, they might become enemies.

Tang Jianye smiled helplessly. This girl really knows how to distinguish things clearly.

The group of men in black behind her shouted loudly, asking Tang Yue if they were good friends. Tang Yue stood on the deck, smiled at them, and nodded in return, "I wish you a happy review in advance!"

Tang Dong stood next to Tang Yue, holding her little hand. "My sister is so popular. Ugh, I hate them so much."

Tang Yue turned her head, and Tang Dong chuckled, "Little sister, you have too many friends, you don't have time to spend with your brothers."

"No, my brothers have always been my good brothers. No one can surpass you."

Tang Dong shook Tang Yue's arm with satisfaction, feeling incredibly pleased with himself. This time, he was the one who came to pick up his sister; his older brothers weren't there.

"Third Brother, where are Mom, my brothers, and Xixi? How are they?"

Tang Dong pouted slightly; his little sister was still thinking about her older brothers. But he liked her even more this way. "They're all doing well. They just really miss you, except for Xixi. All he does all day is eat and poop, sigh!"

Tang Yue laughed. Aren't all children like that? Seeing that Tang Yue didn't believe him, Tang Dong said seriously, "Little sister, I'm telling the truth. Xixi really does nothing but eat, poop, and sleep. He doesn't cry much."

Tang Yue asked curiously, "Really? Aren't children supposed to cry a lot?"

Tang Dong pursed his lips. "Yeah, right. But he's not like that. Unless his mom hasn't looked after him for a long time, and he poops or peees and doesn't want to, he'll cry a few times to remind us. Under normal circumstances, he won't pee or pee on the bed."

Tang Yue was somewhat surprised. Was this kid really that shrewd?

When Tang Dong spoke of Tang Xi, although he looked disgusted, his words were full of doting affection. Suddenly, Tang Yue really wanted to fly back to see them.

"Hey little sister, look at me, do I look any different?"

Tang Yue raised an eyebrow. It's really not easy for Third Brother to hold back until now to start showing off.

"No, Third Brother, how have you changed?"

Tang Dong's eyebrows furrowed deeply. "Sister! Humph! You must have figured it out."

Tang Yue smiled and took Tang Dong's hand again. "Mmm, Third Brother is amazing! How did you reach the sixth level of Qi Refining in one go?"

Tang Dong arrogantly raised his chin, then whispered in Tang Yue's ear. Tang Yue listened, suddenly realizing something. An epiphany? It seemed she had a similar feeling. But epiphanies take several days, so she had to wait; she had a lot to do.

"Little sister, are you listening?"

"Yes, yes, Third Brother, I'm listening. Third Brother, you're amazing. I've never seen anyone have such an epiphany before. Third Brother is the first one."

Tang Dong became even more proud upon hearing this. "Of course! Don't you know who I am? I'm Tang Yue's brother."

Haha~ The two of them laughed together. They were still laughing when Chang Yin approached. Sensing someone coming, Tang Dong, already familiar with Chang Yin, whispered to Tang Yue...

"Little sister, let me tell you, I'm much better than Battalion Commander Chang. I'm already at the sixth level of Qi Refining, while he's only at the fifth."

Tang Yue nodded repeatedly. She knew she had to spoil her brother. Besides, her third brother's sudden enlightenment, which allowed him to advance five minor levels in one go, was truly impressive.

Tang Yue stood up. "Battalion Commander."

"Yes, I have something to tell you."

"Oh!" Tang Yue stood up and followed Chang Yin into the cabin, while Tang Dong followed behind somewhat reluctantly.

Tang Yue turned around and smiled at Tang Dong, mouthing, "Third Brother, I'll be back in a bit."

Tang Dong was finally happy.

Chang Yin sat facing Tang Yue, and then Chang Yin looked Tang Yue up and down. "Are you injured?"

Tang Yue shook her head. Chang Yin kept staring at Tang Yue, and finally Tang Yue gave up, "I was slightly injured at He Gequan, but I'm all better now."

"How did you get hurt?" The voice was flat.

Tang Yue didn't want to talk about it; she didn't want to tell anyone these things. But Chang Yin kept watching her, and for some reason, she couldn't help but tell him.

"Battalion Commander, you can't tell my parents what I'm about to say."

Chang Yin nodded, and Tang Yue reluctantly began to speak, "It's nothing, it's just that when we were killing those people at the germ lab in Japan, we used up a lot of spiritual energy, and then their planes dropped missiles on us."
