In the dark, eerie and damp sewer, a group of people in black gathered quietly.

The faint and flickering light barely illuminated their blurry figures, making the whole scene even more eerie and unpredictable.

The air was filled with a disgusting stench, but everyone turned a blind eye to it, as if they had completely adapted to such a harsh environment.

They huddled together tightly, understanding each other perfectly without any unnecessary words.

In this endlessly dark underground world, they are like lonely stars, scattered in the vast night.

The world may see them as marginalized, or as rebellious and unruly. However, it is this unique quality that gives them the fearless courage to challenge power and strive to break free from the shackles that shackle them.

Jiazi, the leader, held a red candle and spoke in a rare high-pitched voice, his words echoing in the sewer: "We have had enough of the oppression and injustice on earth. It's time to stand up and fight for our own future." Others responded one after another, and the noisy voices intertwined in the enclosed space, stirring determination and anger.

They made careful plans and discussed how to break through the defense lines on the ground, how to spread their ideas, and how to awaken more people.

Ai Yu and Jian Kaiheng quietly blended into the crowd, holding hands and glancing at each other. Jian Kaiheng's lips curled up slightly, and he whispered softly into Ai Yu's ear, "What a bunch of naive and foolish people."

"They can't do it." Ai Yu gently pushed Jian Kaiheng away. "They want to attack Qimen? Just relying on these 10/60 Moon Envoys?" She frowned slightly. "They're really overestimating their capabilities."

After the meeting, the two of them walked back to the ground the way they came.

A man in black called out to the two of them: "Guiyou, Renshen."

Jian Kaiheng looked back: "What's wrong?"

The man looked at Ai Yu for a moment, then asked worriedly, "Can't you really find any food?"

"Um."

"No wonder Master Jiazi is ready to fight." Compared to the other members, the man seemed worried. "Outside, the Qimen are fighting the star beasts, and we have to go fight the Qimen. Isn't this a bad idea? Seeing everyone so excited just now, I didn't want to spoil the fun. You two are usually very quiet, what do you think about this?"

Jian Kaiheng gestured for Ai Yu to hide behind him, shielding her with his body. He squinted his eyes and said, "What do I think? I just want my sister to be safe. I don't care about anything else. Are you trying to instigate me to betray Lord Jiazi? Aren't you afraid that I'll tell Lord Jiazi about this?"

The man waved his hand. "Not really. I was just thinking... if there were enough food, it wouldn't be like this..." He gritted his teeth. "It makes me sad to think about those rich people in the commercial district who eat lavishly every day, while these old, weak, and sick people down there can't even get a sip of clean water every day."

A rich man who ate a lot of meat and fish every day quietly popped his head out and took a look at the man.

Jian Kaiheng laughed and said, "But the world has always been like this. From ancient times to the present, there is yin and yang, there is rich and there is poor. There is no absolute fairness in this world. You've told me so much, let me guess... Is it because your wife is pregnant?"

A dozen small movements flashed across the man's face, and he took a step back: "How did you know?"

Ai Yu stared blankly at the back of Jian Kaiheng's head. How did he guess that?

Jian Kaiheng waved his hand: "Alright, I will try my best to find food, at least let your wife give birth."

"Thank you, Guiyou."

When the two of them left the underground, their hands loosened. Jian Kaiheng pulled down his mask and breathed a sigh of relief: "Hey."

Ai Yu glanced at Jian Kaiheng and asked, "Why is Angel so concerned about the movements of the Minghuang Society?"

Jian Kaiheng took a look around. "It's not the angels who are paying attention, it's me. But it was really my elder sister who gave you the mission. She doesn't want to see the Minghuang Society and the Qimen Society slaughter each other, especially under the current circumstances. But Jiazi is like he's been kicked in the head by a donkey, thinking that the blue sky is dead and the yellow sky should be established."

He sighed deeply. "Your role and mine happen to be the most important food supply. As long as the food is cut off, we can sit down and have a good discussion with Jiazi. Those old, weak, and sick are indeed innocent. Even if they have no money to resist Xila, they should not be abandoned by Qimen. But can you say that Qimen did something wrong?

Honestly, Xia Country is much better off than other countries. You've never been abroad, and you haven't seen how hard life is for those poor people who were victimized by Xila and have no money to buy medicine. Many of them starved to death. Minghuang Society may not have much money to eat, but at least they have a place to live, and they can barely get by."

As he was talking, Jian Kaiheng fell silent.

After a long time, Ai Yu saw Jian Kaiheng looking up at the sky with a rare confusion in his eyes.

"Of course I know. While the rich feast, the poor freeze to death on the streets."

Ai Yu was about to offer some soothing words she had just learned when Zhao Liu'er called through her headset. She motioned for Jian Kaiheng to be silent and answered the call: "Hello?"

"Ai Yu, where are you? It's an urgent mission for the three of us." Zhao Liu'er seemed a little anxious over there, "Come back soon."

"Okay." Ai Yu hung up the call and looked at Jian Kaiheng. "Something happened at school. I'm leaving now. Contact me anytime."

Jian Kaiheng responded and said goodbye to Ai Yu. He took a taxi back to the company, sorted out the information and sent it to Akashilia. At the same time, he sent an email to Jiazi in his capacity as the manager of the Angel Department.

When Ai Yu returned to Ji Palace, Zhao Liuer and Qian Cheng hurriedly pushed her to change clothes, and then the three of them met Li Yuzhen together.

In the office, besides Li Yuzhen and Ouyang Mingyuan, there was also a silver-haired woman in a little white dress and white shoes. She was standing behind the chair, hugging Li Yuzhen from behind, with her face resting on his head.

Zhao Liuer covered her wide-open mouth, her pupils trembling, and looked at Qian Cheng, whispering: "Teacher Li's daughter is this big? Doesn't that mean..."

Li Yuzhen's face darkened: "Zhao Liu'er!"

Ai Yu's gaze fell on the silver-haired woman's forehead. She didn't know what brand of concealer she used, but the three zeros were no longer visible.

Why is 000 next to Li Yuzhen?

After Li Yuzhen finished scolding Zhao Liuer, he cleared his throat, straightened his face, and said, "I came here on a secret mission."

The three of them stood in a row, waiting for Li Yuzhen's next words.

000 bent down and covered Li Yuzhen's mouth to stop him from speaking.

Zhao Liuer blinked, looked at Qian Cheng, and whispered, "Are we part of their play?"

Li Yuzhen felt overwhelmed and scolded both sides at the same time: "You two, shut up!"

The four of them stood in a row. Li Yuzhen stood up, one hand on his waist, a hint of anger still on his face: "Just listen to me quietly."

"yes."

"You three, set off immediately and head to Liguo."
