Wen Zhuli, listening from the side, felt her eyes twitch and inwardly screamed, "Stop talking!"
Stop talking!
He was ready to pounce on his boss at any moment to stop him from suddenly turning on him and killing him.
However, the expected anger did not materialize.
Zhou Ying, who was sitting in the corner, also known as Wen Zhaoye, felt his heart skip a beat for no apparent reason.
Is she trying to find excuses to defend him?
Although it was an ineffective defense, this clumsy attempt to find justification for him was commendable.
He actually found it extremely cute.
He could barely control the upward curve of his lips, but thankfully the shadow concealed it.
He coughed lightly, finally breaking the long silence.
The voice was still cold, but it had lost some of its previous murderous aura and gained an indescribable joy.
"Discussion concluded."
"We'll leave once we've rested enough."
"After all, before finding the exit, no one knows what the next level or what kind of bizarre design it will be."
He stood up and patted off non-existent dust from his clothes.
He deliberately emphasized the word "pervert," which made Wen Zhuli's heart skip a beat again.
Mona seemed to want to say something to Zixi, but Zhou Ying had already stepped to the entrance of the passage, and looked at Mona coldly as if it were unintentional, saying, "You, forward scout."
"……I?"
Mona pointed to herself with her index finger, looking at Zhou Ying in shock.
She was a little reluctant, but under Zhou Ying's cold gaze, she swallowed hard and obediently walked to the front.
Wen Zhaoye scoffed inwardly, thinking that she was smart enough to know her place.
The small team set off again.
This time, Wen Zhaoye walked at the back, but the icy aura that kept strangers at bay seemed to have melted a little bit.
Although he still had that cold and aloof demeanor, occasionally when Zixi stumbled slightly because of the slippery road, a small pebble would roll down to her feet to cushion her fall.
As Zi Xi watched him walk ahead, his tall figure radiating a mixture of awkwardness and concern, the answer in her heart became clear.
She quietly gripped the Dragon Origin Crystal Core in her pocket, carefully sensing the energy fluctuations that subtly resonated with the man in front of her.
She seemed certain of who Zhou Ying was.
Wen Zhuli took in all these subtle acts of help, and a whole bunch of complaints had already piled up in her mind.
Things have changed, they've really changed! The boss has changed!
If this had happened in the past, anyone who dared to act so arrogantly in front of him and call him a pervert would have been ground to dust long ago!
Now they're just continuing to clear the road without any real effort?
What kind of innocent high school boy drama is this?!
He can speak rudely and get away with it... the difference in treatment is just too great.
This makes all those beatings they endured as troublemakers seem like complete idiots!
But one cannot reveal what one has seen through.
Zi Xi took a deep breath. She couldn't directly expose him and ask him if he was Wen Zhaoye.
So she'll just keep quiet.
But looking at this big shot Zhou Ying, there's always a strange feeling about him.
And what is he doing?
Is destroying the world such a simple thing?
Do you even have time to spend with them in this twisted underworld and help them win effortlessly?
Zi Xi shook her head, deciding to stop thinking about things she couldn't understand.
