At Quanxi's insistence, the two took Quanxi out of the small world.
"That's it!" Quanxi exclaimed excitedly. "That's Master's Holy Spirit Pearl."
"What Holy Spirit Pearl? That's the Mother Tree of the Elven race." Leng Yue looked in the direction Quanxi was pointing, which was clearly the Mother Tree of the Elven race.
"No, no," Quanxi shook her head like a rattle drum, "That is Master's Holy Spirit Pearl, its aura is strong, I won't mistake it."
Quanxi insisted, and Lengyue had no choice but to accept it. But after all, it was the mother tree of the elves, and she couldn't just go up and check it right away.
"Quanxi, can we go see it tonight? After all, we're on their turf." Leng Yue bent down and discussed with Quanxi, hoping she wouldn't get so agitated.
Quanxi nodded reluctantly, "Master, we must get it back. That Holy Spirit Pearl is very important to you."
Leng Yue nodded. "Okay, let's wait a little longer."
"Quanxi, how come you sometimes know everything and sometimes you know nothing?" Qianchen put his hands behind his back and looked down at Quanxi.
Quanxi raised her neck and looked at Qianchen. "Quanxi can't really say, but as long as I can see it, I can basically remember it."
Qianchen nodded, then asked, "Do you remember me?"
Quanxi scratched her head and hesitated for a moment before answering, "Actually, I feel like I recognize you, but I don't remember you at all."
“…Never mind then, maybe you’ll remember soon.” Qianchen had no choice; Quanxi was still a child, and he couldn’t ask too much of her.
"Quanxi, I think we should send you back first, so that no one will find out." Leng Yue saw several figures outside through the crack in the window and urged Quanxi to go back.
Quanxi was a little reluctant; she hadn't been out for a long time and wanted to stay outside for a while. But seeing Leng Yue's serious expression, she reluctantly nodded, "Alright."
This time, Qianchen didn't go with them. He had already understood what Lengyue's eyes had meant, so he stayed behind.
Leng Yue led Quanxi into the small world, looked down at her earnestly, and asked, "Quanxi, how about I give you a task?"
"What mission?" Upon hearing that there was a mission, Quanxi's eyes lit up, and she looked very excited.
"Now that the Earth Spirit Orb has merged with the small world, could you help me see what changes have occurred there? Please write it down so I can tell you next time I come in, and I'll go take a look too." Leng Yue said, glancing towards the lakeside. For some reason, she felt that the phoenix tail flowers seemed even more vibrant.
Because Leng Yue couldn't stay in the small world for long, she couldn't immediately notice many changes within it. However, the two beads from the two previous worlds had both merged with the small world. Leng Yue couldn't help but worry; even meals need to be digested before the next one, right?
Is it really okay for this little world to eat so much?
Out of this concern, Leng Yue decided to request a detailed investigation report on the small world. And currently, besides Quanxi, there was no one else capable of conducting this investigation.
Upon hearing this, Quanxi quickly nodded, "Don't worry, Master, Quanxi will definitely complete the mission!"
"Okay, I believe you. I'll leave the affairs of this small world to you. I'll come see you again next time." After saying that, Leng Yue patted Quanxi's hair again and then left.
Quanxi stood there for a while, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to start the inspection from where she lived, which was the lake.
"How is it? Is it someone from headquarters?" Leng Yue looked at Qian Chen standing behind the window and became wary as well.
“Perhaps. Look, their clothes are clearly different from those of these elves,” Qianchen said, gently withdrawing from the window.
"But how did the King of the Elves allow them to enter?" Leng Yue wondered. Did they already know each other?
“If we have clearance documents, they definitely have them too. There’s another possibility: these elves originally knew those people at headquarters.” Qianchen sighed. “Looks like we’ll have to leave again?”
Leng Yue looked at Qian Chen, "Shouldn't we investigate the Mother Tree? Perhaps it will be the key to finding our past. After all, Quanxi is so insistent and cares so much about it."
"What if we get taken back?" Qianchen didn't really want to go back to the past; he just wanted to stay with Lengyue peacefully.
“I used to think the same way you do, but now I’m more interested in figuring out our past and who our enemy really is!” Leng Yue’s previous evasiveness has changed, and she has become more and more determined.
Qian Chen looked into Leng Yue's eyes, then nodded gently, his tone firm, "Alright!"
The two dared not be careless, taking turns standing guard at the window to monitor the people outside. Later, they discovered that while they were watching the outside, the people outside were also watching them. Furthermore, not a single elf from the Elven race intervened. Clearly, they had known all along, or perhaps they had yielded to headquarters.
"Are they waiting for reinforcements?" Leng Yuexin became anxious. "If so, let's steal the Holy Spirit Pearl now and run away as fast as we can!"
Qianchen observed for a while and nodded, "They don't seem like they're going to arrest us immediately. In that case, let's just catch them off guard!"
After making their decision, the two went around to the back gate of Yicui Garden. The other side didn't have many people, only five. So, they surrounded them from both sides, trying to annihilate them in one fell swoop.
Even after they had circled around to both sides of the headquarters staff, these men were still guarding their entrance with weapons, watching the direction of their gate.
Leng Yue and Qian Chen exchanged a hand gesture and attacked simultaneously. However, things didn't go as they had imagined.
They hadn't used their full strength in that attack, yet all five men fell to the ground. Just as the two men looked at each other, preparing to go over and check on them, the five men stood up again.
Their clothes were tattered, revealing their steel bodies underneath. It turned out that these five people were not human, but robots.
After they got up, they turned around and looked at Leng Yue and Qian Chen. Although they had just been attacked by Leng Yue and Qian Chen, they still did not retaliate.
They kept repeating, "Target has appeared, target has appeared..." It seemed they were reporting to their superior.
Leng Yue and Qian Chen exchanged a glance. Qian Chen swung his sword, intending to destroy the robots completely. However, to their surprise, the robots exploded.
Leng Yue and Qian Chen were thrown to the ground and slammed straight into the mother tree.
"Have they activated a suicide attack mode?" Qian Chen wiped the blood from his mouth and smiled bitterly. "I never expected that we would be tricked by the robots!"
The designers of these robots must have deliberately exploited their underestimation of their opponents. First, they made the robots appear harmless, then they provoked their enemies, and finally, when the opponents were off guard, they were blown up by the robots. They truly knew how to manipulate human nature.
Leng Yue coughed up blood from the explosion, and her body was cut by shrapnel. Qian Chen reached out to pick her up, trying to help her to her feet. But before they could even stand, the earth shook violently…
