"Your mission this time is to wipe out the Shadow Pirates? Have you completed the mission?" Ruan Xi knew in his heart that the so-called annihilation was definitely not just to eliminate the pirates on the move, but to wipe out their base camp as well.
"Not yet. Something went wrong, and we still need to clean up the mess." He Ziqian said a few simple words, not revealing much information. But Ruan Xi knew in her heart that such disclosures were already a violation of the rules. He Ziqian, was he really not afraid of getting into unnecessary trouble?
Perhaps it was because Ruan Xi's expression was too obvious, so obvious that He Ziqian couldn't ignore it, and he couldn't help laughing, "Why do you look more nervous than me? Are you the kind of person who would leak secrets? Or is there someone you want to leak secrets to?" It has to be said that although He Ziqian had only spent a short time with Ruan Xi, his understanding of Ruan Xi was still quite thorough.
"I'm not, I didn't." Ruan Xi answered seriously, but He Ziqian didn't know that this was a popular internet slang from the world Ruan Xi lived in in his previous life, the so-called three consecutive denials. Ruan Xi only now realized the deep meaning and... fun of it.
I found it quite funny to hear that. Maybe people who are denied like this will find it hard to get angry.
"That's it, you're just an ordinary passenger we happened to rescue, nothing special about you." He Ziqian lightly skipped over the details that made Ruan Xi uncomfortable, and simply downplayed his experience as "nothing special", which made Ruan Xi feel more comfortable.
"Well, I'd better hurry back to the cabin. I don't know if the old man I was protecting is okay..." Thinking of the old man, Ruan Xi stood up anxiously, but He Ziqian held his shoulders and pushed him back down, saying, "No rush. We haven't cleaned up outside yet. Let's go out later."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Ziqian took out a delicate dagger and stuffed it into Ruan Xi's hand without saying anything. "This is the dagger I usually use. It's small and easy to hide. You can just put it in your pocket for self-defense. Just wait here and don't run around. I'll go out and take a look."
"Okay, thank you." Ruan Xi did not refuse He Ziqian's kindness. He accepted the dagger and watched He Ziqian open the door and leave. Then he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
I have to say that he was quite nervous when encountering such a thing. This was more uncomfortable for him than encountering the zombie tidal wave in the apocalypse in his previous life. Until now, he still could not forget the disgusting touch that man brought him.
"Damn!"
Ruan Xi couldn't help but swear, silently bent his knees, buried his head in them, and took the time to rest. But in this situation, it was impossible for him to fall asleep, no matter how tired he was. He was always highly alert to the surrounding environment until a familiar voice sounded outside the door, and Ruan Xi finally raised his head.
"Are these yours?" He Ziqian opened his palm, revealing several familiar storage rings. Ruan Xi froze, and immediately, he couldn't help but recall what that man had done to him...
"Can I go beat up that man now? If I don't beat him up, I will always feel uncomfortable." He absolutely did not want to endure this kind of discomfort.
"Okay." He Ziqian simply replied with "Okay" and agreed very happily. He also took Ruan Xi to the room where the pirate leader was temporarily detained with full action.
"Hey, little beauty, are you reluctant to leave me?" This man was none other than the leader of the Shadow Pirates, Isaac. Even though he was tied up, he was still as evil and arrogant as ever. This was something Ruan Xi had anticipated before. As the saying goes, it is difficult to change a person's nature. Can you expect a notorious leader of a pirate group to be a kind little white rabbit?
Even Ruan Xi wouldn't believe it, so she was prepared for Isaac's reaction.
"Little beauty..." Being called "little beauty" once again, Ruan Xi was not willing to wait any longer. He used all his strength, punching and kicking at the same time. No matter how much actual damage he caused to the enemy, the anger in his heart was almost relieved.
"Huh... That's enough, that's it." Ruan Xi was a little out of breath due to exhaustion, but a relaxed smile unconsciously appeared on his face, as if all the depression he had felt before was swept away by this beating.
This scene stunned all the soldiers. He Ziqian kicked one of them and said, "Get back to work." He Ziqian rarely cursed, which shocked all the soldiers again. However, intimidated by Jia Zisai's majesty, the soldiers did not dare to act rashly and could only walk away looking back every few steps. Of course, they did not forget to take away Isaac, who was beaten black and blue.
Ruan Xi raised her eyes inadvertently, and met Isaac's sinister gaze and that evil smile. Isaac's lips opened and closed slightly, as if to say - my little beauty, our fate has just begun.
Ruan Xi frowned subconsciously, but didn't say much. He just watched Isaac being taken away without blinking. In the end, only he and He Ziqian were left in the room.
"He Ziqian, what kind of person is that Isaac?" It was obvious that Isaac had set his sights on him. If he could escape, his future life would definitely not be easy, and his life might even be in danger at any time.
"Isaac is a bad guy in the true sense of the word." He Ziqian did not describe him in detail, but just the words "a bad guy in the true sense of the word" were enough to make Ruan Xi feel cold in his heart.
"Then I'll trouble you to lock him up and don't give him a chance to escape." Otherwise, his luck might not be enough. He is not so arrogant as to think that every time he is in danger, there will be a noble person to save him.
No matter how hard he tried, it was impossible for him to meet the noble man in front of him, whose name was He Ziqian, every time.
"Of course. Let's go. I'm going to the main cabin and I can take you there." After saying that, he took the initiative to reach out and take the storage ring that Ruan Xi had been holding in her hand and had not bothered to count.
"Is the number of rings correct?" As he spoke, He Ziqian deftly put the messy storage rings in place, leaving only the invisible storage ring, and calmly put it back on his finger.
"Don't show off your wealth. Take care to protect yourself." He Ziqian's concern for Ruan Xi was more obvious than ever before, making Ruan Xi forget to think about anything else and just nodded subconsciously.
Then, Ruan Xi was sent back to the cabin by a soldier. He saw the old man looking around for him. When their eyes met, the old man immediately ran towards him with quite agile movements. Ruan Xi hurried to meet him.
"Grandpa, are you okay?" Ruan Xi checked the old man's pulse out of habit, and only felt relieved after confirming that there was nothing wrong with his body.
"Young man, are you okay? I think those space pirates are quite vicious..." Not just vicious, but downright brutal. If He Ziqian hadn't rescued him in time today, he would have...
Thinking of that result, Ruan Xi couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and images were almost flashing in his mind. Ruan Xi shook his head and quickly threw those images out of his mind. He pulled the old man to talk about the rescuers who came like divine soldiers from heaven, and successfully diverted the old man's attention.
The soldiers captured all the members of the Shadow Star Pirates and successfully completed this stage of the mission. Until the spacecraft set sail again, Ruan Xi did not see He Ziqian again. Instead, Ren Wei came up to him and made faces, but no one knew what he wanted to express.
Anyway, Ruan Xi didn't understand it, so he just treated it as a silent show of face-changing.
The spacecraft set sail again, sailing forward along the fixed route at a faster speed to make up for the time lost in the previous attack.
There were no more problems on the rest of the journey, and the spacecraft arrived safely at the largest airport on the Imperial Capital Star. The moment they set foot on the ground, Ruan Xi and the small tree in his sea of consciousness breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Finally, I’m on the ground!
Along the way, Ruan Xi deeply appreciated the old man's talkativeness and erudition. No matter what the topic, the old man could hold it perfectly, and he opened up new knowledge for Ruan Xi, allowing Ruan Xi to benefit greatly from such casual conversations. Of course, they would inevitably talk about life, and the old man naturally learned that Ruan Xi was new to the school and didn't even have a place to live before school started.
"Young man, my name is Wan Yushan. My eldest son works at the Imperial Capital University. There is still some time before the school starts. You have to find a place to live anyway, so why not come and work for me? I promise that you can definitely do the job I offer." The old man smiled as brightly as spring breeze, with a hint of seduction in his face.
Ruan Xi was not afraid that the old man would cheat him, he just didn't like to cause trouble to others. After all, he and the old man had only known each other for a few days. Well, could they barely be considered friends for life and death?
Thinking of this, Ruan Xi couldn't help but want to laugh. After thinking about it, he nodded carefully and agreed.
After all, leaving aside other things for now, the fact that this old man's son works at the Imperial Capital University is enough to make Ruan Xi excited.
It's easier to get things done if you have acquaintances. Even if he doesn't ask for anything now, there's no guarantee that he won't ask for anything in the future!
"Thank you, Grandpa Wan. I'll go back with you and give it a try first. If it works, I'll stay. If not, I'll leave. I can't cause you any trouble." After all, he had no relationship with the old man.
"Okay, come with me, my car is waiting over there." Before he finished speaking, Wan Yushan grabbed Ruan Xi's arm without saying anything and pulled him towards the aircraft parked not far away.
Well, the aircraft looks very ordinary, but when you sit in it, it is not ordinary at all. Even if Ruan Xi has no common sense, his feeling is not wrong.
The aircraft feels so high-end inside!
The aircraft was moving very fast, and Ruan Xi's thoughts stopped before he could even think a few turns. He followed Wan Yushan off the aircraft and walked straight to his workplace - a small indoor planting base.
Although this indoor planting base is small, it covers an area of 300 square meters. At first glance, the land is divided into several regular squares, planted with a variety of plants, including flowers, vegetables, fruits, and even a few plots of land specifically for growing grass. It looks full of vitality, and people can't help but feel happy at just one look.
He loves this place!
