After the video call ended, Qin Xiao sat on the sofa for a while.
A faint sense of unease spread through my heart. Joy? Happiness? Excitement?
Qin Xiao felt a mix of emotions.
Qin Xiao got up and went upstairs, then knocked on Ye Qinghuan's door.
"Master, you're so greedy!"
Bai Ling chuckled to herself, teasingly.
“The master has such good taste.” This was Slovic.
"Stop talking nonsense, we're all friends, what are you saying?"
Qin Xiao offered a brief explanation and stepped into the open room.
He had never been to Ye Qinghuan's room before, but it wasn't decorated in a fancy way; the air was filled with a girl's delicate fragrance.
"Hey, why did the captain finally decide to get out of bed today?"
Ye Qinghuan's words immediately choked Qin Xiao; what kind of talk was that?
"Ahem, stop grinning, I have something serious to tell you."
Qin Xiao lay down on the chair. These rooms were all quite large, and Ye Qinghuan had placed a recliner by the window.
Qin Xiao quickly relayed Wang Xinian's invitation and the details of the secret realm in a few words.
Ye Qinghuan was a little surprised, "Is my mom coming too?"
"Yes, I've already notified her. She'll be teleported to the capital soon."
"But, with my current strength, I'm afraid it might hinder your operations, right?"
Ye Qinghuan was somewhat worried about holding Qin Xiao back.
"It shouldn't be a big problem. A few days ago, Wang Jinnian was also a Gold-rank, and he got a set of armor just like that."
Moreover, your tamed beasts are all quite good, and your Totoro is almost fully trained, so you should be able to protect yourself without any problems.
Even if we're a little weaker, we still have your mother and me. This is a rare opportunity; we can go in and get some good stuff.
As Qin Xiao spoke, Ye Qinghuan's expression became strange, as if there was something odd about what he was saying.
Why does it suddenly sound like she's speaking in the tone of an elder?
Ye Qingya blushed slightly, shook off these strange thoughts, and asked curiously again.
"Then, what about that senior, Lu Chengxiao?"
Qin Xiao was taken aback; he really hadn't thought about Lu Chengxiao.
After all, their relationship wasn't exactly good, was it? It was just a transaction.
"Never mind her, we're not that close. If she's unhappy, she can just leave on her own."
Qin Xiao said directly, standing up, "Alright, I'm going back now."
After leaving Ye Qinghuan's room, Qin Xiao glanced at Lu Chengxiao's room next door and returned to his own room.
Ye Qingya arrived quickly, notifying the other party in the morning and they arrived around 3 PM.
Qin Xiao informed Xiao Ling that the permissions had been granted, and Ye Qingya rode the Totoro all the way to the lakeside cottage.
Ye Qinghuan and Qin Xiao went downstairs and waited in the living room.
"Little Qin, my darling."
At the entrance, Ye Qingya was dressed in a white and gold dress, as beautiful as a blooming white peony.
Qin Xiao and Ye Qinghuan turned around at the same time.
Ye Qinghuan threw herself at Ye Qingya, "Mom, you came so quickly! I missed you so much!"
Ye Qingya hugged Ye Qinghuan, "A girl should be more reserved, what kind of behavior is this?"
As they talked, the mother and daughter sat down side by side on the sofa.
Ye Qingya and Qin Xiao nodded. "Xiao Qin, thank you for taking care of her."
"You're too kind, Sister Qingya."
The three exchanged pleasantries, and although they hadn't been apart for more than half a month, they had become much closer.
"Sister Qingya, is everything alright in Qingzhou?"
Ye Qingya tossed her hair. "No problem. I've already handed over the administrative duties to Zhao Jun. I've taken half a month off this time."
"If I, as mayor, wanted to slack off, I would have plenty of time, since most high-ranking officials need to cultivate themselves."
That night, Ye Qingya and Ye Qinghuan slept in the same room.
However, Lu Chengxiao's gaze towards Qin Xiao after seeing Ye Qingya was extremely strange.
Qin Xiao took the opportunity to tell the other party that he and Ye Qinghuan would be going out on a mission for a while, thus temporarily deceiving Lu Chengxiao.
If it's not necessary, it's best not to make things too ugly.
The next day.
Qin Xiao got up at eight o'clock. Ye Qingya and her daughter had also gotten up by then, and the three of them tidied up quickly.
I set off on my scooter and headed towards the 49th ring road of the production area.
Although Yoyo's speed is not as fast as Peng's form, it is definitely not slow.
About half an hour later, we arrived at our destination.
The 49th Ring Road is a garrison point for the night watchmen, which is also a key point for protecting the city walls and defensive positions.
This area is quite different from the area I visited a few days ago; it's noticeably more deserted.
"Let's eat something first, we'll probably have to hurry once we enter the secret realm."
Qin Xiao found a breakfast shop, and the three of them finished eating around nine o'clock.
At the Night Watch outpost, Wang Xinian stood at the main gate, accompanied by a man and a woman he didn't recognize.
Qin Xiao and the other two walked over, while Wang Xinian stared intently at Qin Xiao and Ye Qingya and her daughter.
He began to waver slightly over his decision to cultivate or even develop a deeper relationship with her.
"These are the two people you're going to take with you. Are both of you students at the academy?"
Wang Xinian spoke with a smile, showing no sign of anything amiss.
Qin Xiao nodded. "Yes, but there is one exception: Ye Qinghuan and Ye Qingya."
Qin Xiao introduced his name, but did not reveal any further information.
Wang Xinian raised an eyebrow, her thoughts wandering. These two sisters are quite the character.
"These two are my teammates, Zhang Muye and Lin Ling."
After everyone introduced themselves, Wang Xinian's teammates were also very excited to see Qin Xiao.
After all, being ranked number one in Platinum is a prestigious title.
Apart from a handful of senior students who have advanced to the Diamond rank, Qin Xiao can be considered the number one student in the academy.
Moreover, those senior students in the Diamond tier are basically no longer active in the college.
"Xiao Shen, could you give me your autograph?"
Zhang Muye was somewhat excited. He took out paper and pen and made his request.
Qin Xiao was a little embarrassed, but he still reluctantly signed his name.
Yesterday, Ye Qinghuan had already told Ye Qingya about Qin Xiao, but Ye Qingya didn't think it was a big deal.
After all, she knew very well what Qin Xiao's strength was.
Soon, the team finished communicating, but no decision was made on the captain's suggestion.
The main reason is that Qin Xiao can't seize power right away, and he doesn't have the advantage in numbers, so he's just here to take advantage of the foreign aid.
They temporarily agreed on the principle that any issues would be discussed and decided upon by everyone, and then prepared to leave the city.
Qin Xiao didn't care. Even if they disagreed, he only needed to protect Ye Qingya and the others.
Wang Xinian led the way to the night watchman's post.
The capital city has a position device; to leave the city, one must pass through the empty portal of the garrison point.
It's not as simple as just climbing over any city wall.
Wang Xinian's team often goes out on missions, so their passes were obtained long ago.
After registering Qin Xiao and the other two's information, the application was quickly approved.
Moreover, because of Qin Xiao's military medals and Ye Qingya's mayoral status, they did not have to queue to leave the city.
They went directly through the special passage and left first.
