Lin Ying was now completely convinced that Er Ya was no ordinary person. However, in her eyes, she was still just a child. Her future might be different, but until she became strong, she would always be that child who nestled in her arms.

After bathing and changing the children, Lin Ying washed the dirty clothes and hung them up to dry. Once the clothes were no longer dripping wet, she took them back into the tent. The tent had underfloor heating, and clothes wouldn't dry in the southern weather. It was better to leave them inside than outside.

Zhao Qinghuai arrived very late, only to find that there was no room for him in the car, so he had to sleep in the tent with the two tigers.

However, Lin Ying made him a bed so he wouldn't have to sleep on the floor.

The next morning, when Lin Ying woke up, she found that Zhao Qinghuai was already up, and the bed on the floor was gone. Lin Ying glanced at Zhao Qinghuai, who touched his nose and said, "Wasn't this because I was afraid of being discovered?"

Lin Ying found it amusing, but she was already planning to prepare more supplies for Zhao Qinghuai.

Although he can't use these things most of the time when he's with his teammates, they might come in handy when he's acting alone.

Zhao Qinghuai brought breakfast to Lin Ying and the others. Just as they finished eating, they heard Wu Jie arrive outside.

Lin Ying hurriedly came out.

Wu Jie, still smiling, looked at Lin Ying and said, "Comrade Lin Ying, I came here specifically to see you."

Lin Ying asked in confusion, "Is there anything else I can help you with here?"

Wu Jie waved his hand: "No, no, no one will be going in here anytime soon. I came to ask you if you've considered enlisting in the army. It would be a loss for our Southwest Army to let someone as talented as you go."

Lin Ying glanced at Zhao Qinghuai, who clearly knew nothing about it.

Just as Lin Ying was about to refuse, Wu Jie said, "Don't rush to refuse. Listen to my requirements first and then think about it."

Wu Jie cleared his throat and said sincerely, "Comrade Lin Ying, look at the abilities you displayed in that mysterious place this time. Whether it's your understanding of the array mechanisms or your calm response to danger, those are not things that ordinary people can possess."

Our Southwest Army is currently in dire need of talented individuals like yourself. If you enlist, we can assign you a specialized position, primarily responsible for researching ancient mechanisms and secret techniques to assist us in handling potential emergencies. Of course, we won't assign you to overly dangerous frontline combat missions, as you still have to take care of your children at home.”
