"Hmph, what a hopeless case! Stupid and wicked!"
Jiang Nian'an sneered and swung out a vine to tie the group of people up tightly.
"What's going on? Help!"
The group was startled by the sudden turn of events, and after they came to their senses, they shouted loudly into the valley.
All eyes in the valley turned to look, but then turned back at Jiang Nian'an's gesture of shaking her head, some continuing to chat and others resting.
It was only then that the group noticed Jiang Nian'an and Xiao Longzhan standing not far from them.
"Liu Xiu, aren't those the two kids who hit you this morning?"
The young man next to Liu Xiu suddenly widened his eyes in horror and said, "Is beating you once not enough? Are you going to bring people to beat you a second time?"
"But even if we're going to beat him a second time, we don't need to tie us all up. Just tying him up is enough!"
The girl behind struggled desperately, but couldn't break free no matter what she did.
"Big Gray!"
Jiang Nian'an shouted into the valley.
The next second, the big gray bird flapped its wings and flew over, landing in front of her.
Jiang Nian'an wrapped the vine in her hand around Da Hui's legs and said, "Let's take them to the front lines to get some fresh air, so they don't go crazy and say things that make people want them to die."
Big Grey nodded, spread its wings, and soared straight into the sky.
"Ah!! Help!!"
Before the group could even react, they were lifted into the air by the giant gray creature, and immediately let out terrified screams.
"What happened?"
Big Grey carried them over the various bases ahead, and the people on the ground all looked up at them.
"Xiuer!"
When Liu Xiu's father, Liu Zhenglin, saw his son screaming in mid-air, his expression immediately changed. "What happened? Where did that eagle come from?"
"That eagle...that eagle seems to belong to the Shen family!"
"The Shen family? Is it still because of what happened this morning?"
Liu Zhenglin's face darkened, his eyes turning cold and sharp. "I've already hit Xiu'er and made him apologize to those two little brats in public. Isn't that enough?"
We are their allies, not their slaves. This repeated targeting of me, Xiu'er, is simply outrageous!
The person who had spoken to him earlier lowered his head, silently rolled his eyes, and remained silent.
Don't yell at him! If you're so capable, go and station yourselves at the Shen family's residence and question them!
He's a bully at home, just like his son. They're father and son, huh!
"Deputy base commander, the base commander requests your presence!"
A young girl wearing the combat uniform of the Tianhai Base walked over quickly.
Upon seeing her, Liu Zhenglin quickly composed himself and gave a gentle smile. "Jian Tang, I wonder what brings the base commander to see me?"
"I'm sorry, Deputy Base Commander, I don't know either."
Jian Tang adopted a businesslike attitude, gesturing for them to proceed, "Base Commander, please hurry!"
Liu Zhenglin had a bad feeling and walked toward the Tianhai base commander with a heavy heart.
He was worried about Liu Xiu being taken away by Big Gray, and he was also worried that the base leader might have found some dirt on him and wanted to remove him from his post.
As soon as I entered, a cup flew towards me.
Liu Zhenglin instinctively dodged, and the cup smashed to the ground with a thud, shattering into pieces.
He stared at the shards of glass that had flown to his feet, his heart skipped a beat, and he looked up at the middle-aged man in the main seat.
"Base Commander..."
"Shut up!"
Liu Zhenglin had just opened his mouth when Chu Maomin interrupted him with a loud shout.
"Are you trying to kill me? Are you trying to destroy the Tianhai Base?"
Chu Maomin strode up to Liu Zhenglin, grabbed him by the collar, and his face was full of anger.
"Commander, I didn't do it! I'm innocent!"
At this moment, Liu Zhenglin truly felt a little wronged.
How could such a trivial matter from this morning possibly provoke the Shen family to take action against the entire Tianhai base...?
"Besides, we should be the ones demanding an explanation from the Shen family!"
Liu Zhenglin tried to stand on tiptoe to avoid being strangled by Chu Maomin, and his face showed a hint of anger.
"Just now, the Shen family's eagle took my son away!"
What are they trying to do? Undermine the alliance? Or do they simply look down on our Tianhai Base?
"Stop exaggerating and stirring up trouble!"
Chu Maomin shoved Liu Zhenglin aside, pointing at him and demanding, "Do you know what your son just did again?"
"Just now?"
Liu Zhenglin staggered back two steps before regaining his balance, and was stunned for a moment after hearing Chu Maomin's words.
"He just came with me to visit some friends in the neighboring base cities."
"Play??"
Chu Maomin laughed in anger, “You ran to the other side of the valley, pointed at the allies inside and called them beasts, spouting nonsense that they didn’t deserve to live in the valley, and you’re telling me this is a joke?”
"this......"
Looking at the furious Chu Maomin, Liu Zhenglin swallowed hard and cautiously walked up to him.
"Base Commander, isn't there some misunderstanding? Could it be that someone is deliberately fabricating facts to slander us and sow discord..."
"Take it—I'll take your grandpa!"
Chu Maomin's face turned red with anger. He paced back and forth a few steps, then turned around, pointed at Liu Zhenglin's nose, and swore angrily.
"The matriarch of the Shen family saw it with her own eyes, heard it with her own ears, and personally ordered the punishment!"
Tell me, is this someone deliberately stirring things up?
"My son offended her brother this morning, maybe it was her—"
"Shut up!!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Maomin quickly walked to the door and glanced outside a few times.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that he was surrounded by his own people.
"If you want to die, go die by yourself, don't take me with you!"
Chu Maomin lowered his voice and gritted his teeth, saying, "Now I know why your son keeps making stupid mistakes. It's because he has you as a good 'role model'!"
Despite numerous conflicts between them, they maintained a facade of peace.
This was the first time Liu Zhenglin had been verbally abused by Chu Maomin, and his eyes immediately darkened.
"Chu Maomin, I've been tolerant of you all this time because you're the base commander. Don't go too far!"
"Am I being unreasonable?"
Chu Maomin sneered, turned around and sat back down in the main seat.
"The Shen family just sent someone over to deliver a message that, considering we are allies, they will only give Liu Xiu a minor punishment for his act of sowing discord."
But if there is a next time, they will hand Liu Xiu over to the ally he insulted.
Liu Zhenglin, do you know what will happen to you?
