When Wei Cheng returned to Jincheng, it was already dark.
After the dark clouds in the sky disappeared, the moonlight was visible, a rare sight indeed.
The moon in the sky was frighteningly large, five or six times larger than before the apocalypse.
Wei Cheng didn't drive, but strolled through the ruined city. With the help of the bright moonlight, he could clearly see the city's devastation.
Because of his unintentional destruction, the thick layer of snow on the ground was completely cleared away, revealing its original appearance.
After he and Ye Ling destroyed the dark cloud, it hadn't snowed here for thirteen hours.
With a "crack," he stepped on something.
He stopped, moved his foot, and looked down. It was a stationery lid with a Peppa Pig pattern. At this moment, only a third of the lid was left. He had accidentally crushed it into pieces.
He squatted down, stared at the pencil case he had crushed in silence for a long while, then chuckled softly and murmured, "So fragile, just like this city."
"Beep beep—"
He heard the sound of cars in the distance, looked up, and saw two cars driving towards him.
He stood up and strode over.
"Sect Master."
"Sect Master, you're finally back."
Wei Yi and the others quickly got out of the car, walked to Wei Cheng and knelt on one knee, their eyes full of worry.
"Get up."
Looking at his subordinates who had followed him through thick and thin since childhood, he was truly reluctant to part with them.
Once in the car, Wei Yi said, "Master, we are temporarily in Area A of the underground city. We have cleaned the room and decorated it according to your preferred style."
Because we don't know how long we'll be staying here, we've only prepared supplies for ten days.
Wei Liu, sitting in the passenger seat, glanced cautiously at Wei Cheng, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Have you seen Miss Ye?"
"I saw him."
Wei Liu was surprised that the Pavilion Master would answer her. A look of astonishment flashed in her eyes, and she then asked, "Then, has her attitude towards you changed from before?"
Wei Cheng looked at her: "Wei Liu."
Wei Liu quickly sat up straight and said solemnly, "Your subordinate is here."
Wei Cheng: "I'm giving you one last task."
The last task?
Her heart skipped a beat. Was she about to be fired by the sect leader?
Wei Cheng said, "Your final task is to be Miss Ye's personal subordinate. If you don't perform well and she fires you, then you will be a free person from now on."
Wei Liu's brain exploded with a 'boom'.
She really got fired!
Once her brain returned to normal, she turned to Wei Cheng with a terrified expression: "Master, you don't want your subordinate anymore? Is it because I spoke with Miss Ye earlier that you got angry?"
"This subordinate deserves to die, this subordinate is willing to accept punishment, this subordinate begs the Lord not to dismiss this subordinate."
Wei Yi slammed on the brakes and turned to look at Wei Cheng: "Sect Master, Xiao Liu has been with us since she was a child. She is like family to us. If you fire her, it would be more cruel than killing her."
The once valiant Sixth Sister was now in tears.
She had imagined many possible endings for herself: being killed by her enemies, dying in battle while on a mission, being captured and tortured to death by the enemy, or even being hacked to death. But she never imagined that she would be fired.
