"Who are you?" The witch scrutinized Leng Yue, but showed no sign of panic.
“Young Emperor Zhao Dai, of course, you can also call me Leng Yue.” Leng Yue walked to the witch’s side with a smile.
"What do you want to do?" Leng Yue kept moving closer to her, and the witch couldn't help but take two steps back. "I'm not Qingluan, I'm Liufang... Oh dear, you... let go..."
"Oh, it's so good that you're alive! I really thought you were dead. Thank goodness!" Leng Yue hugged the witch tightly. Hearing Leng Yue's words, the witch stopped struggling and finally patted Leng Yue's head, saying softly, "It's really good that you're alright."
Qian Chen looked at the two women tightly embracing in front of him, unsure whether he should pull them apart. No matter what, seeing Leng Yue hugging someone else felt a little strange. After hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward and separated the two.
Qianchen pulled Lengyue to his side, "It's not right to hug her as soon as we meet."
The witch chuckled, looking at Leng Yue with a teasing expression. "Is this your lover? He's pretty strict with you, huh?"
Leng Yue remained unfazed. "I'm the one who's really strict with him. This is called mutual supervision."
"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Liu Fang, and I'm a mission taker from the Space Management Department. In this world, I'm called A Jiu, and I'm the villainous female supporting character." Liu Fang laughed as she spoke, realizing that Leng Yue's performance had completely stolen her business.
"Leng Yue, you are now a free man." Leng Yue pointed to Qian Chen. "This is my lover, Qian Chen. Please take care of me in the future."
“I know you. You are wanted criminals by headquarters.” Liu Fang said, pulling up their wanted posters. “But you are really bold. Being wanted by headquarters, you still dare to wander around in headquarters’ directly controlled territory?”
"Is this the headquarters' direct jurisdiction?" Leng Yue looked at Qian Chen. "Have we walked right into a trap?"
“Don’t worry,” Liu Fang suddenly said, “Since you’ve run into me, I’ll definitely help you avoid the other members.”
"You recognized me before?" Leng Yue couldn't help but feel puzzled. Why did Liu Fang look at them with disdain before? What was she looking down on?
“Yes,” Liu Fang nodded.
"Then why do you look at me like that?" Leng Yue seemed a little aggrieved, after all, she had been so doted on by the person who had once spoiled her.
"Let's see if you're stupid enough?" Liu Fang grinned wickedly.
"And then?" What do you mean she's stupid? Leng Yue disagreed. But seeing Qian Chen also secretly laughing, she couldn't help but pout and glare at them.
"So you do have some cleverness after all." Liu Fang completely disregarded Leng Yue's threat. "You even knew to come with me. Do you know that if you had actually gone to Cangyue City, you would have been in real trouble!"
"What kind of place is that?" Qianchen asked.
“The headquarters is located here,” Liu Fang said, her words barely audible.
"Then why did you let me walk right into your trap?" Leng Yue said angrily, "I never expected you to be like this, Qing Luan!"
"Big sister, since I've decided to help you, I should first see if you're worth my help, okay? If you're too stupid, why should I risk my life for you?" Liu Fang crossed her arms, raised her eyebrows, and looked at Leng Yue. "Don't feel wronged. We do have some friendship, but it's not enough for me to risk my life."
“I know, but…” Leng Yue always feels very guilty towards people she once felt indebted to.
Qianchen pulled Lengyue back, "Yueyue, let Miss Liufang finish speaking, don't rush."
"It seems you are truly sincere towards Leng Yue. It's not in vain that she abandoned everything and lived this life on the run with you." Liu Fang nodded at Qian Chen.
"Um, I need to clarify something. My Qianchen is innocent, and I didn't act this way because of him." Leng Yue weakly stood between the two, looking at Liu Fang, "You can't wrong my Qianchen."
"..." Liu Fang looked at Leng Yue, but ultimately said nothing more. Instead, she said to Qian Chen behind her, "Let's sit down and talk."
"What do you want?" Because Leng Yue was prone to acting on her emotions when it came to Liu Fang's affairs, Qian Chen took the initiative to intervene.
“Freedom is what I want.” Liu Fang looked into their eyes. “You two are actually doing very well. I envy you, but I don’t have the courage to do it myself.”
"Why? Headquarters is actually not bad..." Leng Yue hadn't really thought about leaving or anything like that before; of course, at that time it was still within her tolerance range. Who knows if she would later want to give up on herself or feel fed up?
“Yin Cang didn’t disappear; Yin Cang was eliminated by headquarters.” Liu Fang suddenly mentioned another person.
"Who is Yin Cang?" Leng Yue was a little confused. She didn't know any mission participants named Yin Cang.
"Your system is called Zero, right?" Liu Fang was about to continue speaking when Leng Yue interrupted her.
"You know Zero? You recognize him? Do you know if he's alright now? Where is he being held?" Leng Yue grabbed Liu Fang's hand, so excited she didn't know what to do.
"Yueyue, calm down..." Qianchen pulled Lengyue back and hugged her. "Calm down, okay?"
Leng Yue nodded, but still looked at Liu Fang hopefully, "Liu Fang, how is Ling?"
"They're locked up in jail, there's no further action yet, and no verdict has been issued." Liu Fang's voice was laced with sarcasm. "Headquarters treats systems much better than people; at least so far, no system has been wiped out, so you can rest assured!"
Leng Yue breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."
“You two get along quite well,” Liu Fang said meaningfully before changing the subject. “Zero’s good friend, Xiao Mei, is owned by Yin Cang.”
"It's him?" Leng Yue saw Qian Chen looking at her, so she explained to him and finally said, "Actually, we've never met, but we're acquaintances."
"Why was he eliminated? Didn't Xiaomei say he left?" Leng Yue remembered that Ling was sad for a long time because Xiaomei was abandoned.
"We've discovered the headquarters' secret." Every time Liu Fang speaks, it's something extraordinary.
"What secret? How do you know?" Leng Yue was somewhat skeptical. Why would Liu Fang know so much about something like this?
"How do I know you don't need to know? But everything I said is true, I can swear on my life." Liu Fang was unwilling to explain or elaborate.
“However, I can tell you that Yin Cang discovered the headquarters’ secret here and was then eliminated.” After Liu Fang finished speaking, she stared blankly out the window. “That day, the sky was blood-red. The headquarters sent more than a dozen people to kill Yin Cang.”
"You were there!" Qianchen knew that anyone who could say something so believable either witnessed it with their own eyes or was making it all up.
“The person Yincang cares about the most is Xiaomei, but Xiaomei…” Liu Fang shook her head, “That’s why I said you two have a good relationship.”
"What secret is it?" Qianchen asked again. Seeing Liufang hesitate, he said, "If we don't tell you, we can't help each other."
“It’s not that I didn’t want to tell you, it’s that Yin Cang didn’t tell me,” Liu Fang sighed. “We happened to be on a mission together that time. When he was killed, I was frozen in place. Later, before he disappeared, he only told me to help take care of Xiao Mei. So…”
