Chang Le frowned slightly and waved his hand.
Iris and Luo Xuan left.
After closing the door, Iris let out a long sigh of relief, still looking shaken, and whispered, "My goodness, Le Bao was so intimidating just now, I didn't dare to speak loudly."
Luo Xuan frowned slightly: "If she gets angry and vents it, I won't be afraid. It's because she keeps everything bottled up inside that I'm worried."
Iris froze, then gave a bitter smile:
"There's nothing we can do about it. Lele used to be very strong-willed and didn't like to cause trouble for others. Apart from Shen Fuguang, she rarely complained to others, let alone now."
Lele hasn't fully recovered her memory yet, and she's noticeably distant from us, no longer showing us her vulnerable side.
“Luo Xuan…”
Iris sighed and looked out the window at Luo Xuan's face: "Do you think we're too useless, that's why so many things are weighing on Lele?"
Luo Xuan gently shook his head: "We are just insignificant beings. What Lele carries was destined from the moment she was born."
"Integration, creation of gods."
"That is the weight of the times."
...
Inside the room, Chang Le connected to a communication device.
"Lele? You finally answered!"
There was some noise coming from Hua Anning's side, but Chang Le heard the familiar school bell.
"What's wrong?"
Hua Anning was very anxious and didn't notice that Chang Le's tone was unusually indifferent today.
Her breathing quickened slightly, and her tone was reassuring: "Something happened, but I'm telling you, please don't panic, okay?"
Chang Le replied, "It's alright, go ahead."
"Goubuli is in trouble."
Chang Le's expression changed, and he stood up abruptly, his tone icy: "What's going on? Weren't they on a mission?"
Hua Anning said, "Yes, something happened during the mission."
They received a mission to join the Alien Hunting Team from Xiaze Academy in District One to investigate the alien situation on the western border of the Northern Ruins. However, a small-scale alien surge suddenly occurred there yesterday, and Goubuli and the other team have all lost contact.
"I'm at school now. The school has already discussed it with Xia Ze and we're going to the rescue together."
"I can't keep this from you, so I'll tell you the situation now."
The western boundary of the old northern ruins.
Chang Le thought about it.
That's about three kilometers northwest of the Enlightenment Ice Nest.
Chang Le immediately made up his mind: "I understand, I will go there."
"Hmm? You're going over there? No, it's too close to the old ruins, it's dangerous, and reinforcements will be here soon."
"I will get there before them."
"But……"
"I'm in District 9."
Hua Anning remained silent.
Chang Le added, "Iris and Luo Xuan are with me."
Hua Anning stopped arguing: "Please be careful, I...I'll wait for you to come back."
Chang Le paused for a moment, then hummed in agreement.
The communication was disconnected.
Chang Le closed his eyes, stood up, opened the door and went out: "Don't go to the central city yet. Take people immediately. I need to go to the border of the old ruins west of the Enlightenment Ice Nest outside Yulou Pass to rescue people."
Iris and Luo Xuan were stunned for a moment, then they realized what was happening.
Iris: "I'll stay with you."
Luo Xuan said, "I will stay here, and the Dragon Soul Army will send a team to accompany you."
"If we leave in an hour, will everyone be able to get there?"
Luo Xuan immediately replied, "Yes."
An hour later.
Liangcheng Port.
Chang Le was dressed in a black and gold combat uniform, with a dragon head mask covering the upper half of his face, and two small dragon horns extending from the top.
Iris stood next to her, and the two of them stood in front of a small transport aircraft.
The entire Liangcheng harbor section has been temporarily cleared and rearranged; there is no one else there except for them.
Then, three hovercars drove up and stopped not far from the two people. Then, twelve people got out of the cars.
Upon seeing the leader, Iris raised her hand in greeting, then turned to Chang Le and said, "That one in front is Wan Buxun, the leader of the Dragon Soul Army."
Chang Le stared in surprise at the leader: it was Wan Buxun, the master of the Dragon Soul Army, who was on par with Luo Xuan in status.
Clearly, this is also a ninth-tier expert.
Iris then added, "This man is a martial arts fanatic. He'll only respect you if you're strong."
Chang Le nodded to indicate that he understood.
Wan Buxun had already walked up to the two of them.
Wan Buxun is tall, nearly 1.9 meters, but his muscles are well-developed rather than exaggeratedly large.
His clean-cut buzz cut suited his serious and cool demeanor perfectly, with sharp eyebrows and a cold glint in his eyes.
He nodded to Iris, then his gaze fell directly on Chang Le, lingering there for a long time, though his expression remained unchanged.
Chang Le calmly met his gaze and nodded, saying, "Mr. Wan and your brothers have had a hard time on this trip."
Wan Buxun grunted in agreement and extended his hand, saying, "I hope you have a safe journey."
Chang Le naturally shook hands with her, not noticing Iris's hesitant expression.
"Hmm..."
A sudden, immense gripping force came from my hand, almost dislocating my hand bones.
Chang Le was caught off guard and let out a muffled groan. Then, he frowned slightly, tried to break free, and found that the difference in strength was too great. It was impossible to break free by strength alone.
Chang Le looked up and caught a glimpse of Wan Buxun's gaze.
Unlike Mu Liangchao's provocative manner in the dungeon, his gaze was serious and stubborn, as if he were seriously competing with someone.
Chang Le withdrew the restless energy in his palm, and exerted force in his arm, thus tightening his grip.
Their palms were visibly pale and bluish, but neither of them let go, staring intently at each other and continuing to exert force.
