"Chairman" Sima Yi hurriedly stepped forward, carrying a stack of documents.

The two of them finally came to their senses.

"Hello...Commander Sun," Cao Jili said.

Sun Ce, who was just a sunny young man a moment ago, suddenly exuded a powerful aura.

Cao Jili remained expressionless and responded calmly.

—Secret Transmission of Sound—

Cao Jili: Help me, help me!

Xia Xiang coughed lightly, but was met with a sharp glance from Sun Ce.

Xia Xiang: Holy crap, they all have the same face, so why does this person look more handsome?

"President Cao, won't you introduce him?" Sun Ce smiled, regaining his earlier cheerful demeanor.

The "secretary" Cao Jili only mentioned Xia Xiang's position, without introducing her name.

"Oh," Sun Ce nodded. "To be Chairman Cao's secretary, you must be exceptionally capable. You should still take care of your health. If you feel unwell, remember to see a doctor."

Is this person saying she's sick?!

Xia Xiang suppressed the urge to hit him and smiled as she thanked him. "Thank you for your concern, Chief of Staff Sun."

“Zhongda, are you getting used to working under Chairman Cao? I know you’ve always been in poor health, but the land and water of Jiangdong are actually more nourishing,” Sun Ce said directly.

Xia Xiang and Cao Jili exchanged a glance. As expected of the Little Tyrant of Jiangdong, he was openly poaching someone else's partner.

"Ahem, thank you for your kind offer, Chief of Staff Sun." Sima Yi smiled but said nothing more.

He only remembered this person when he attended another meeting with Cao Cao; the person had bothered him before when he was a recluse. Later, he actually thought about contacting Xia Xiang, but they didn't have each other's contact information.

Xia Xiang: Big brother? What happened? Why didn't you refuse?

"Yi, are you alright?" Xia Xiang took Sima Yi's arm and asked with concern in her eyes. Her tool couldn't run away now; if he ran away after Cao Cao returned, she wouldn't be able to control him.

"Oh, hehe, it was my rudeness," Sun Ce said with a smile.

Then she went in with Cao Cao. After the two turned their backs, Xia Xiang immediately let go of Sima Yi's arm and put the things she was holding on top of his thick stack of documents.

"Hey, has anyone ever told you that you need to change this 'use and discard' habit?" Sima Yi asked, amused.

"Yes, but I think it's a good quality." Xia Xiang gave a fake smile and said nonchalantly, then chased after the two people in front of her.

——

What followed was a long and pointless meeting, during which the more important matters were relayed by Sima Yi to Xia Xiang, who then relayed them to Cao Jili.

After finally making it to the end, they still had a banquet to attend.

"I actually have something to do right away, you stay with him," Xia Xiang said anxiously.

"Okay," Sima Yi nodded obediently, but Xia Xiang became somewhat suspicious.

"No doubt about it," Sima Yi knew what she was going to do, so he readily agreed.

"Thank you, you've worked hard." Xia Xiang said and then disappeared into the crowd.

After much effort, they finally found the arrogant little tyrant of Jiangdong and stopped him on the dark path.

"Do me a favor, and I'll grant you one request," Xia Xiang said bluntly.

"Do you think I, the Little Conqueror of Jiangdong, would ever need anyone's help?" Sun Ce scoffed at Xia Xiang, whose demeanor was completely different from before. "But you are the strange one."

Xia Xiang: Oh my god, what should I do? How can I get someone I just met to do something for me?

"Just ask," Xia Xiang said, frowning. "Being the leader of the alliance is fine too."

Anyway, the world will eventually be divided into three parts, so at worst she can save him when he's about to die, so she didn't say anything reckless.

"Heh," Sun Ce looked around cautiously, "What makes you say that?"

"What will it take for you to help me?" Xia Xiang asked.

"I don't even know your name yet. Let's get to know each other first," Sun Ce said with an unfriendly expression.

He wanted to see who had sent this guy.

“My name is Albus Percival Woolflick Bryan Dumbledore,” Xia Xiang said in a serious tone.

"A foreigner?" Sun Ce was even more puzzled. "You don't even look like one."

"Alright, you can go help me now." Xia Xiang said, and was about to lead him away.

"Hey, you haven't said what you're helping with yet. If you're trying to harm me, I'll go with you." Sun Ce asked, somewhat amused.

He couldn't sense Xia Xiang's fighting ability, but judging from her age, it should be within a manageable range.

"I can transfer my skills to a friend in just one hour," Xia Xiang said innocently.

"I didn't mean to help you." Sun Ce initially thought Xia Xiang looked kind, but now he found her persistent pestering extremely annoying.

"I have a date, you know that? Don't tell anyone."

Her father forbade her from dating, but she and Weiwei were truly in love and hoped to receive blessings from others. There was nothing wrong with telling this strange man in front of her, since she didn't know who he was going on a date with.

He was provoked by the way she and Sima Yi were so intimate today, acting like everyone has a girlfriend. He really misses Weiwei right now.

"Voris - Ulabah - Condensation Technique!" Xia Xiang froze Sun Ce directly, began drawing a formation diagram in front of him, and injected a small formation into his body.

"What have you done!" Sun Ce was furious, but he couldn't let anyone find out he was there. He glared at Xia Xiang with eyes that were practically spitting fire.

She simply added a protective array to him; after all, he wasn't willing now, and she couldn't force him. But until he was willing, nothing could go wrong with him.

"This is a curse from a foreign land, a curse that will make you lose your loved one forever. If you help me, I will lift it after it's done," Xia Xiang said jokingly.

“Alright!” Sun Ce readily agreed. “However, you’d better keep your promise, or Cao Cao won’t be able to protect you.”

Xia Xiang thought he wouldn't agree, but now that he had, she couldn't help but regret it. Wasn't it too cruel to joke about losing one's love forever?

"What are you standing there for! Go and come back soon." Sun Ce said with a sour face.

Xia Xiang directly summoned a portal to another dimension and took him to the Gold Dimension.
