While eating hot pot, Mingxi asked, "Tell me, you moved our entire Suzaku to the no-man's land of Never-Sleeping City. It's definitely not just to let us fight some evil forces, right?"

Mingxi's eyes were filled with the wisdom of seeing through everything. Wu Jie knew that he couldn't hide it from anyone, so he chuckled and said, "Senior, haven't you always been worried about the lack of manpower to expand the team? Look, isn't this the opportunity?"

Mingxi was stunned: "Opportunity?" But she really couldn't figure out what opportunity Wu Jie was talking about.

Seeing Mingxi in a daze, Wu Jie gave her a piece of fish. He knew that the senior sister loved to eat fish, and then added: "Senior sister, do people in the underworld often get the source of black dancers through human trafficking?"

Mingxi took the fish Wu Jie caught and nodded: "Yes, but what does this have to do with chance?"

Wu Jie continued, "The gangs control the black dancers to form their own private armies. Because those black dancers have undergone transplant surgeries, it is extremely difficult for them to rebel and become ordinary people. They are also illegal residents, and according to the law, illegal residents will be jailed or fined if they are found. But if they are allowed to return to the people, it will definitely be a big threat. They have been working in the underworld and have no sense of restraint or discipline. It is easy for them to cause trouble among the people. Once we clean up these evil forces, their fate will become a big problem..."

After hearing Wu Jie's words, Ming Xi seemed to understand something: "You mean..."

Wu Jie nodded. "What I mean is what you're thinking. Most of these girls have very miserable backgrounds, and only a few of them are from the real underworld. I want to recruit them into our Suzaku Battle Dance Troupe and then expand it. Our troupe got a lot of money and resources last time, and I did this time, didn't we? We can use them on them."

Mingxi felt a pang of emotion as she listened to Wu Jie's words. Wu Jie had racked his brains for those girls with difficult backgrounds. He had protected them while remaining within the law. Even if these girls didn't want to serve in the military, they could simply go through a simple procedure with the Suzaku War Dance Troupe and have their status changed from illegal to unregistered, without the worry of jail time or fines.

Mingxi smiled and said, "It has to be you. I never thought that the responsibility of expanding the war dance troupe would fall on you."

Wu Jie also laughed: "I have a big idea. I want to expand our regiment into a division, and then divide it into an army regiment, a navy regiment, and an air force regiment to form a comprehensive corps! By then, our regiment will have all three services! Hehe, think about it, senior sister, isn't this very impressive?"

Listening to Wu Jie's 'grand plan', Ming Xi was almost amused: "Hahaha, junior brother, ah no, I should call you the future division commander. When you become my commander, I will be at your disposal..."

Wu Jie quickly waved his hands: "That's not the case. Senior sister, your strategy is not inferior to mine. When the time comes, I will still listen to your opinions."

As he spoke, Wu Jie took a bite of the dish, his mouth full of oil. He was so happy that he forgot about his image.

Seeing Wu Jie's smile, Ming Xi's tender heart was aroused. She couldn't help but sit next to Wu Jie, leaning against his shoulder. She took out a tissue and gently wiped his mouth: "Eat slowly, kid. Look at your mouth full of oil."

Wu Jie chuckled as his senior wiped his mouth. Only in front of his senior could Wu Jie feel so relaxed, never having to think too much, just being like a child. Such moments made him feel like he was back in the military academy. He couldn't help but want to take the tissue: "I'm not a child anymore, senior, I can do it myself."

Wu Jie was about to answer when Ming Xi interrupted him: "Don't move, let me wipe it for you."

Wu Jie had no choice but to stop his hand from hanging in the air and stared blankly at the senior sister's face. To be honest, the senior sister's beauty was different from that of Naiara, Qianye and Shengyue. Her beauty was a mature and intellectual beauty that reminded people of her sister.

Back in the military academy, Wu Jie often engaged in tactical battles with his senior because of their studies. Although her tactical talent wasn't as high as his, her understanding of the fundamentals of tactics was far deeper than his. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to execute such a brilliant penetration tactic when the Aurora Beast army marched south.

It was a textbook battle, even included in the textbooks of major military academies, becoming a classic case study. So when Wu Jie looked at his senior, he always felt like he was looking at his older sister. Although Wu Jie didn't have a sister himself, Ming Xi always gave him that feeling.

Feeling Wu Jie's gaze, Ming Xi's face flushed for no reason: "You kid, staring at people like that will easily make girls think you have some thoughts."

Wu Jie agreed and quickly focused his attention on the hot pot. He chuckled, "Senior, do you want to drink some wine? I have nothing to do today anyway, so drinking a little wine shouldn't have much of an impact."

Listening to Wu Jie's suggestion, Ming Xi thought about it and finally nodded: "Okay, but let's stop here."

Soon, Mingxi took the initiative to go get some wine, not letting Wu Jie leave. Wu Jie and the senior sister each filled a glass, but the senior sister still sat beside Wu Jie, their shoulders pressed together. Wu Jie felt the wafts of feminine fragrance emanating from the senior sister, and his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly focused his attention on the wine.

Perhaps because Wu Jie was no longer a teenager, he was now more than ready for the pleasure. Out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but catch a glimpse of the senior's neck. Her snow-white skin, and the faintly visible eyelashes in her profile, when she blinked, gave Wu Jie a wave of temptation, and his mouth went dry.

Gulp~

After a sip of ice-cold wine, Wu Jie's mind cleared a little. He muttered to himself, "Amitabha, how could I possibly have such inappropriate thoughts about my senior?" Could it be that after he'd broken his vow of self-discipline, he'd become a bit of a pig? Wu Jie cursed inwardly, "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form." He dared not look at anything else and focused on his hot pot.

But Mingxi seemed to have noticed something. She calmly picked up some food for Wu Jie, her eyes always vaguely looking at him, and she even deliberately pulled her collar. It seemed that the heat from the hot pot made Mingxi sweat a little, so she couldn't help but loosen her collar.

Because Wu Jie had been drinking, he couldn't help but catch a glimpse of the spring scene out of the corner of his eye. He quickly turned his eyes away and dared not look again.

But Mingxi suddenly leaned on Wu Jie's shoulder and closed her eyes as if she was drunk. It was not known whether she was really drunk or pretending to be drunk. Wu Jie thought to himself: War Dancer's physique shouldn't make her get drunk so easily, right?
