But this contradicts the Templar Knights' commandments. As knights, they should not reap without sowing; protecting the weak and upholding justice are their duties.
Tsk...
She suddenly felt that being a knight commander was so tiring. Why did she always encounter such things?
"Xiao Luoyu, give the order to have our people collect as many of these crystals as possible."
After a moment's thought, reason prevailed, and Qin Yiyan sighed deeply, saying, "The royal ships have retreated quite a distance, which gives us a slight advantage. We shouldn't miss this opportunity."
She found this behavior dishonorable and contrary to her inner dogma... but then again, simply walking away was definitely not an option.
If you don't take it, others won't. You've already suffered a lot this time, and if you don't have what others have, the gap will widen even further.
"Yes, Sister Qin."
Unlike her, Luo Yu was not full of worry. He happily went to make the arrangements after receiving the instructions.
"Wait a moment."
Seeing this, Qin Yiyan called out to him, frowning as she asked, "Xiao Luoyu, you seem... quite happy?"
"...No, there isn't any."
Luo Yu snapped out of his reverie, scratched his head, and smiled sheepishly. "I was just thinking, thank goodness we have these crystals, otherwise we would have really come away empty-handed, right?"
Is that all?
Qin Yiyan didn't expose him; she knew that what Luo Yu was truly happy about was something else entirely—Xu Shi's death.
Although the battle was chaotic just now, she still noticed this incident. In her opinion, how could anyone who was swallowed by the sea god possibly survive?
But she couldn't be happy—it was true that she had confronted Xu Shi before, but that was as a leader standing up for her subordinate, not because she really had any grudge against Xu Shi. Now that Xu Shi was dead, she didn't feel any sense of relief or joy.
In the current situation, she actually felt a little regretful.
Those who die fighting the sea god deserve respect, and at the very least, should not be gloated over.
Especially since Xu Shi's fleet had contributed the most, many people believed that it was Xia Wuyou's desperate attack that brought about this victory.
As for the Vatican, being the worst party, it would be shameless of them not to want to crawl into a hole and hide, let alone have the audacity to try and divide the spoils... They're so ashamed, how can they still have the nerve to laugh?
While it wasn't entirely incomprehensible, given that Luo Yu had a grudge against Xu Shi before... at this moment, the other party's expression made her uncomfortable. Did he really hate her that much?
As for any chivalric code, she couldn't see a trace of it on the other person's face.
well.
Maybe it's because she's getting old... To be honest, she's almost thirty, and she might indeed be a bit indecisive as she enters middle age?
It's also possible that young people like Luo Yu still need more experience... But in any case, Qin Yiyan wouldn't delve into this topic at this moment, and simply nodded slightly, "Yes, you're right, go and make the arrangements."
"good."
Luo Yu didn't notice her emotional change, subconsciously thinking that it was just Sister Qin's natural frustration after experiencing such a thing as a leader.
She couldn't possibly be saddened by Xu Shi's death, could she?! At least the Feng and Ling sisters had some interaction, but what about you two? Did you even exchange more than three sentences? It's impossible.
He was quite certain of this; Sister Qin had always favored him and would definitely stand by his side.
And he is indeed very happy now.
He paid much more attention to Xu Shike than to Qin Yiyan. Heaven knows how happy he was when he saw the other being swallowed by the fish.
Since this guy appeared, everything around him has started to go downhill. He's been itching to get rid of him, and now that he sees it actually happening, it's impossible not to feel a sense of satisfaction.
Thinking about it more deeply, with Xu Shi dead, the Vatican lost a competitor, and on a smaller scale, the Feng and Ling sisters probably wouldn't be content to stay with him anymore. Either way, it would be a good thing for him.
But it's not without regrets. Why didn't everyone around Xu Shi perish?
He didn't even realize how smoothly such a thought formed in his mind.
...
Compared to his thoughts, no one on Xu Shi's side cared about what the other forces were doing.
No one cared about the rain of crystals falling from the sky, at least Xia Wuyou didn't care. Even though she was in the very center of the battlefield, she remained oblivious to the magnificent scenery around her, letting the crystals fall within her domain and then drop vertically.
Her eyes were only on Xu Shi, and she searched for his whereabouts without stopping.
We must see him alive or dead! Now that the Sea God is dead, where has Xu Shi gone?
Was it swept into the sky, or did it fall into the sea?
The answer was the former. After a short while, she noticed three dark figures falling rapidly in the distance.
It was Xu Shi, who was also with Xie Qingyan and Shen Qin.
Xia Xiaomao didn't dare to be careless and rushed over with all her might.
Fortunately, there were no regrets this time; she easily caught the three of them with her own abilities.
The pose is a bit odd, with the bad guy having one arm around each of them. If the backdrop were changed to a bed, it would have a more erotic feel...
Hmm...
The feeling of jealousy only lingered in Xia Wuyou's heart for a brief moment. She was more at ease than anything else. Guessing and prediction were not enough. Only by seeing the other person with her own eyes could she truly put her mind at ease.
"Xu Shi, Xu Shi, how are you?"
She shook off the other two pieces of chewing gum, letting them float behind her, and hugged Xu Shi, asking him with concern.
