"Duckweed has no roots"
A grain of millet in the world
I am a speck of dust that has fallen into this world.
Surrounded by stars, I am overwhelmed.
I'm surrounded by flowers, but I dare not touch them.
The sun favors me, but will leave me forever.
I am a stranger in this world.
Those who love me harbor ill intentions.
Those who are loved bear the burden.
I dare not love.
Besides you
Only you
I want to love boldly.
You are a gift from the world to me
"The person I love without any reservations"
—A message from Chang Le to all employees of Goubuli, written in "Random Musings"
...
When Kulei's body temperature reached her, Chang Le realized that she was so scared that her body felt cold.
When Kulei's voice rang in her ears as always, she suddenly felt like crying. She wanted to cry and tell them how scared she was, and tell them all her grievances.
But all the words and all the excitement melted away.
When Chang Le had finished hugging Kulei and got out of Kulei's arms, she found that Bai Xie and the others had come over.
"Brother Bai!" Chang Le looked at Bai Xie's tired face, feeling both heartache and self-blame.
Bai Xie laughed and ruffled her hair.
Lingren then opened Bai Xie's hand and helped her fix her hair.
Chang Le looked at Li Jie and Raymond again and suddenly found them staring at her with surprise.
Noticing the reflection in Li Jie's eyes, she suddenly remembered that she was still disguised as "A Jiu".
Chang Le's body stiffened.
Good heavens! She hugged Kulei like that!
Just as Chang Le was about to explain, Bai Xie gave him a wink, and Chang Le followed his gaze.
A row of six pairs of bright, sparkling eyes stared at them.
Chang Le: ...
Chang Le's gaze fell on Si Yehong.
While researching Gu Yujing's information, 422 also gave her information on Shen Xiu and Si Yehong; she remembered that face. Si Yehong had also participated in the Northern Frontier Campaign, but the two hadn't met.
Seeing her looking at him, Si Yehong waved with a smile: "Little brother, you're so handsome! Where are you from?"
Three black lines appeared on Chang Le's forehead.
Is this person's art style?
Kulei stepped forward and blocked her way: "What's it to you?"
Qiu Lan, the vice-captain of the Qianji Squad, glared coldly, her longsword at her waist flashing with a half-inch of silver blade, her eyes wary.
"Who are you? How did you get in?"
Chang Le turned his head and found that the Dragon Soul Army was also ready to fight, and the atmosphere between the two sides was tense.
Chang Le thought for a moment, then grabbed the crow and pulled it over:
"We are members of the Dragon Faction who were patrolling the area. We were entrusted by Wolf Lord and Miss Hua Anning to pick him up and the others from Goubuli. I am an old acquaintance of Miss Anning and the people from Goubuli."
The crow, whose face was already blank, nodded without batting an eye upon hearing this: "Yes."
Whatever Lele says is right, anyway, we don't have to tell the truth to outsiders like you.
The crow silently added in its mind.
Bai Xie said, "That's true. What, is Young Master Si interested in our private affairs?"
Si Yehong's amused gaze swept over the group, then he smiled and said, "I know my limits. Since we're friends, that's great. Cough, okay, okay, what are you doing?"
Si Yehong reached out and pressed Qiu Lan's sword back down, then winked at her.
Qiu Lan sheathed her sword, and with it, the chill emanating from her body vanished.
Si Yehong asked with a smile, "May I ask your surname, young friend?"
Chang Le thought for a moment and said:
“Fu Jiu, the ‘Fu’ in ‘the mountain has Fusu’, and the ‘Jiu’ in ‘nine together’.”
"Oh~" Si Yehong narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of scrutiny, "A good name."
He took two steps forward and bowed to the people behind Chang Le:
"Young man Si Yehong, I have long admired the illustrious names of 'Black Yama' and 'Purple War God'."
The members of the Qianji team and Goubuli were stunned, staring in surprise at Wanbuxun and Iris.
The Dragon Sect of the Ninth District boasts Black Yama Wan Buxun and Purple War God Iris, both renowned figures in the world of superpowered individuals, with cultivation levels reaching the ninth rank.
I never expected to run into two people here today.
The way the members of the Qianji team looked at Chang Le changed: Who exactly is this Fu Jiu? How could he bring two important figures to the rescue?
Wan Buxun and Iris politely returned the greeting: "Young Master Si, we dare not accept such a compliment."
Si Yehong's status was no lower than theirs. He referred to himself as a junior, but neither of them would be so foolish as to accept that he was their elder.
"Did you break through the encirclement?" Nightingale asked curiously.
Iris said, "We temporarily broke through the encirclement of the saber-toothed ants and entered the core area, but now the saber-toothed ants have re-established their encirclement."
Wan Buxun continued, "Everyone, we brought medicine and food. It's already evening, and breaking through at night would be even more dangerous. Why don't we rest here tonight and leave early tomorrow morning?"
Si Yehong and Bai Xie both agreed.
And so the plan was set.
After discussing it, Bai Xie and Si Yehong divided the first floor of the villa into three areas.
The Qianji team was on the left, Iris and others were in the middle, and the Goubuli team, along with Chang Le, were on the right.
Wan Buxun distributed food and medicine to the Qianji Squad.
Bai Xie and the others took the opportunity to pull Chang Le aside to talk.
The group sat in a circle, and Chang Le first explained his appearance:
"This is the appearance I used when I was on Wei03 Island. It's hard to explain that I came here with the Dragon Faction people since Si Yehong is here, so I'll just use this appearance for now. You can just call me Ajiu."
"How did you end up here?" Kulei asked impatiently as soon as she finished speaking.
