Seeing Xu Ling "abandon her post without permission" for the first time shocked Kaopu so much that he almost stood on his feet and stood upright.
It looked around for a while, and only after confirming that there was no sign of Xu Ling nearby did it finally put its front paws down.
The reliable decision was to go further afield and find out where Xu Ling was.
Before it could take any action, Xu Ling's voice suddenly echoed in its mind.
[Reliable, I'm here! Come over quickly!]
Yes, it was broad daylight.
After discovering that the elf hadn't approached her all night, Xu Ling finally relaxed her guard. Her sluggish brain finally started working again, and she belatedly realized that she could directly call for Kaofu in her mind.
Soon, following the exact location she gave him, Kaopu appeared in front of her.
Looking at Xu Ling, who was cowering in the corner with a face full of exhaustion, the reliable cat was full of confusion.
"Why are you like this? What happened?"
You should know that Xu Ling, who had been working mechanically for the past few months without eating or drinking, didn't look as haggard as she did after just one night!
Xu Ling waved her hand, ignoring the first question, and focused on answering the second question that Kaopu had given her. Naturally, she also told Kaopu the location of Phil Academy that Emerald had told her about.
"Do you think... what she said is credible?" After saying such a long thing, she continued to ask with a belly full of doubt.
Unlike Xu Ling, who was somewhat distrustful, Kaopu's eyes lit up instantly after hearing Xu Ling's words.
It had none of the doubts that Xu Ling had; instead, it was filled with indescribable excitement!
It has to be admitted, it's incredibly lucky! Just when it felt sleepy, someone immediately offered it a pillow!
Heaven knows how anxious it was as it watched Xu Ling's points increase and approach the points required for the magic circle!
After all, the exact location of Phil Academy that it knew was hundreds of years ago, so who knows if it's even accurate!
This is why the coordinates were immediately given to Xu Ling from the very beginning.
Well, while Xu Ling still doesn't have enough points, it secretly works hard to obtain the correct and specific geographical location of Phil Academy.
However, who could have imagined that it would be so unlucky!
It gained nothing from its own big data analysis, and then it turned to begging its leaders, but still got nothing!
Originally, it had already given up and thought that since it was "about to die" and couldn't think of any other way, it might as well give the previous coordinates to Xu Ling.
But unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better!
Kaopu was extremely excited and immediately warned himself that he must not reveal his identity to Xu Ling!
It controlled its emotions and tried to keep its tone of voice steady: "I think—we can give it a try!"
"Um?"
Give it a try?
This answer surprised Xu Ling.
She felt a reliable answer would be a definite affirmation like, "Yes, these coordinates are the same as mine!" or a decisive rejection like, "That dead elf is lying! This is absolutely not true!"
How could it be a vague and hesitant "give it a try"?
"Why?" she asked, her brow furrowed, clearly puzzled.
Of course, at this point, Xu Ling had no idea that she might be fooled by Kaopu again.
Because she was eager to know if the coordinates given by the elf were correct, Xu Ling forgot to turn off the telepathic connection she had previously activated.
Thus, those conflicting thoughts and doubtful words were transmitted to Kaopu without any hindrance and with perfect clarity.
Kaopu remained calm and, before Xu Ling could discover this, secretly changed the permissions and turned it off.
Without a moment's hesitation, it seamlessly continued Xu Ling's sentence: "I didn't want to tell you, Lingling, I..."
The Abyssinian cat's face instantly showed a pitiful expression. It paused for a moment before continuing with a hint of grievance, "I'm sorry, I couldn't keep my coordinates."
"Huh?" These words completely stunned Xu Ling, who could only mutter repeatedly, "What do you mean 'you didn't keep your coordinates'?"
"My boss found out what I did!"
The reliable person silently apologized to their leader, but still unceremoniously shifted the blame onto them.
"Actually, one or two things wouldn't be so bad, but I did too much. The leader got angry and thought I couldn't take shortcuts anymore, so he took back all the information about Phil Academy! So now, I have no information about Phil Academy at all!"
"so--"
The reliable cat crouched down, its paws nervously scratching the ground in front of it, utterly helpless. "Now, we can only try the coordinates the elf gave us!"
Xu Ling: ······
a bolt from the blue!
Xu Ling's face was filled with astonishment; she really hadn't expected things to turn out so dramatically!
No, we're in another world now, why does this kind of exploitation still exist?!
Xu Ling didn't understand, but she couldn't bring herself to grab the reliable leader and question him at the top of her lungs about why he did this, nor could she blame it on the reliable leader.
No matter what, many of Reliable's actions were to help her!
Xu Ling withdrew her astonished expression, silently swallowed her somewhat aggrieved anger, and gave the apologetic and reliable man a comforting smile.
“It’s alright,” she said. “Let’s try these coordinates then!”
With a gentle voice, she bent down and picked up the Abyssinian cat, stroking its head soothingly.
Kaopu, nestled in Xu Ling's arms, was stunned.
Contrary to its expectations, Xu Ling did not fly into a rage. Instead, she gently stroked its head, offering no doubt about its lies and even softly comforting it.
In an instant, guilt overwhelmed it like a surging tide.
For the first time, Kaopu felt guilty.
It shouldn't have lied to Xu Ling; it should have... spoken to her properly.
—To be honest.
sorry.
The reliable person silently offered an apology.
The kitten slowly snuggled closer to the warm embrace.
As dawn broke, Thanos yawned widely and stepped out of the granary.
It's strange, I didn't wake him up today!
The three-headed, chubby little thing rubbed its sleepy eyes and blindly walked forward without even seeing where it was going.
However, he was forced to stop after taking only a few steps.
Something grabbed his collar at the back of his neck, stopping him from moving forward.
Before Thanos could turn around to look, the enormous figure of the Moonlight Silver Wolf fell down on him, followed by a familiar voice in his ear.
"Be careful not to get your clothes dirty!"
Oh, it's Fei Er!
Thanos rubbed his eyes again, nodded, and replied weakly, "Okay!"
It's no wonder he wasn't serious at all; anyone who was reminded of the exact same words every day would lose the desire to be serious.
However, his nonchalant attitude was not accepted by the Moonlight Silver Wolf behind him.
Or rather, Moonlight Silver Wolf was quite dissatisfied with Thanos's nonchalant attitude.
Seeing that Thanos, after nodding, was about to take another step forward, Fil opened her mouth wide in displeasure and grabbed his collar.
"Sizzle—"
