Lian Han was still explaining.

[She took care of me for over a month, and I really didn't have anything to give her when I left. All I had were cards, but giving away other cards would definitely expose my identity.]

[Can't you owe me money first?]

Lian Han said weakly, "If I run away, General Ning will definitely blame her."

[So the Guardian Card was intended to be used as collateral for her crime?]

Lian Han remained silent, which implied that he meant it. The key was how General Ning viewed her departure.

Old Xing was filled with mixed feelings. He had only been out of contact for a month, and this girl already had another person she cared about. She didn't even know what the other person looked like. Wasn't she afraid of being deceived?

Old Xing felt he needed to give the girl a reminder.

[Since that's the case, 3 defense cards should be enough to repay his kindness in taking care of you, so we're even. Why do you still need to stay in touch?]

[I just feel that we've gotten along well over the past month or so.]

[You're the one rambling on and on, and people are just passively listening. You think it's good, but they might not.]

Lian Han couldn't help but retort, "So she still wants to see me?"

[You just left once and gave away such a valuable defense card. If I were in your shoes, I'd want to see that fool again and get more benefits.]

That seems to make sense. But Lian Han finally said, "I believe her."

[I was wondering why you...]

Lian Han added, "[But if she really harbors such intentions—I will let her know that the benefits of being a god-level being aren't so easy to obtain.]"

As long as she's not stubborn in her dealings with people, that's fine. The old man secretly breathed a sigh of relief. [Will I see her within three months?]

Lian Han pursed her lips. "Let fate decide. It's already highly unlikely that we can gather enough energy for the Butterfly Shadow Card within three months."

"It's good that you think that way." Old Xing smiled, then suddenly asked, "Is the other person really a young lady?"

Why do you ask that?

[Something felt off.] Especially that phrase, "I'll wait for you," something just didn't feel right to him.

Since it was General Ning who arranged for someone to take care of Lian Han, then once Lian Han left, the other party's mission was considered complete, and they shouldn't be thinking about seeing Lian Han again.

[Which guy do you think would be able to take care of a girl's every need, including eating, drinking, using the toilet, washing up, and covering her with a blanket?]

[That's really unlikely. I guess I'm overthinking it.] And so, Old Man Xing was misled...

Seeing the teleportation invitation, Anhe Lance sneered, summoned his men, and clicked the teleportation option aggressively.

She's always disappearing without a trace; she's determined to teach her a lesson this time.

Upon seeing the extremely familiar faces in the private room, An He's imposing aura instantly dissipated; she truly couldn't handle this one.

“Mother,” Anhe said obediently.

"Hmm." Shen Sihan glanced at her, her expression indifferent.

Lian Han glanced at the six figures behind her and silently moved closer to Shen Sihan. Luckily, they were together, otherwise she would probably have been skinned alive by An He.

"Why are you with Xiaohan?" Anhe couldn't help but ask. "And when did you leave?"

Even though Shen Sihan took the initiative to ask Lian Han for leave, An He never thought that the two of them would be together. Her mother was terribly cold to everyone, and even her family was indifferent to her. Why would she take the initiative to leave home and find someone else?

"Just happened to run into you. Why are there so many people?" Shen Sihan asked. She had seen Lian Han send an invitation.

"Hello, Aunt Lance. We are the class monitor's friends, and the boys are all partners from the Mecha Academy," Zong Jingyuan said with a smile.

My surname is Chen.

Those three simple words froze Anhe's smile. It's always like this.

Zong Jingyuan was a little confused. What difference did it make?

Lian Han sighed and took Shen Sihan's arm. "Jingyuan, be good. Call her Aunt Shen. It's so much easier to say, isn't it, Aunt Shen?"

Shen Sihan glanced at her, her expression slightly moved. "Yes. Sit down."

Anhe sat beside her mother, her gaze towards Lian Han quite complex. She had long known that her mother cared about Lian Han, but she hadn't expected it to be to this extent—her mother, who was so fastidious and wouldn't even allow her father to touch her, would actually allow Lian Han to be close to her.

Looking at their hands clasped together, Anhe felt a pang of sadness. She was clearly her daughter.

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Lian Han coughed lightly, "I've taken leave, everyone knows that, right?"

"I know. They invite her for a whole month at a time. The goddess has already been promoted to the most arrogant person in Diluo this year."

"I've run into a little trouble. Aunt Chen said she'd teach me armor making, and I need a mecha pilot, Fatty, you..."

“I’ll do it,” Jiang Chenrui said. “I’m S-rank, so I’m good enough.”

"But……"

Shen Sihan interrupted Lian Han, "You might need to ask for leave."

"Then I'll take leave."

"I think..."

"You're the one."

Ignored, Lian Han pursed his lips, looked at Shen Sihan, then at Jiang Chenrui, and said, "People should have self-awareness."

“I can explain.”

After a six-month stalemate with no improvement in their relationship, Jiang Chenrui finally decided to stop remaining silent.

"Personal grudges?" Shen Sihan raised an eyebrow, showing some interest, but quickly calmed down and said, "Settle your grudges privately. If you can't resolve them, I agree to you changing partners. Even if it's not S-rank, A-rank is barely acceptable."

"Understood, Aunt Chen." Having decided to talk to Jiang Chenrui privately, Lian Han showed no outward signs of anything. "Then, Little Fatty, you can practice on your own for now."

Ruan Zhenyue glanced at Jiang Chenrui, but still didn't dare to compete with him, and said pitifully, "I understand, boss."

Where are you now?
