Three months have passed.
Lin Xi lay on the beach, the sound of waves crashing in her ears.
The phone she's using now is a new one she just bought. It wasn't easy; the economy is slowly recovering, and Pear brand immediately launched a new model.
He was heartbroken for a long time after losing his phone because he was being chased.
After all, both the bracelet and the phone could be tracked, and even if she put them in the magic pocket, she couldn't guarantee that her whereabouts wouldn't be discovered.
But things are better now.
When they came out, they didn't tell anyone where they were going.
The three were all new faces, and even the people of Worry-Free Island thought they were newcomers who had just settled on the island, which could be considered a new beginning in another sense.
"I don't understand..." A child's innocent voice, barely audible amidst the sound of the waves, asked, "Is the gentleman a bad person?"
“Mingshan, you are still young. You were just deceived, so it doesn’t count as doing anything wrong. Don’t blame yourself too much.”
Lin Xi recognized the voice; it belonged to the owner of the news agency.
She opened her eyes and looked at the figure not far away.
Mingshan looked remorseful. "But so many people died."
Lin Xi didn't listen to the rest of the conversation and got up to walk further away...
During that upheaval, all the survivors from the military region were arrested, and what awaited them was perhaps a lifetime of imprisonment.
Seeing that there was no way to reverse the situation, Governor Yin confessed to all his crimes, including how he spread his informants all over the country, how he secretly contacted high-ranking officials and high-level supernatural beings in the capital to control the situation, and how he set up the "colosseum" used for the selection.
Everything has settled down.
Because of his young age and the fact that he was tricked, Mingshan escaped a calamity.
But the thought of Brother Xie still made her feel a little sad.
Although she knew this was the retribution she deserved, the care and love she received from her in the military region and in the small villa were genuine.
bite!
The phone's message notification sounded.
A message popped up on the chat software that had been silent for a long time.
Lin Xi smiled, edited a message and sent it out, telling Xiao Lao Si to arrange for someone to clean a few rooms when he got back.
However, there were quite a lot of people who came.
Lin Xi was startled to see a large crowd of people outside the door.
"You didn't tell me so many people were coming?"
He Chao smiled and said, "It's nothing. I was planning to sneak away with Uncle Jiang and Jiang Yuan, but I was caught as soon as I stepped out the door."
Lin Xi: ...
Cheng Sheng said, "Lin Xi, you're really not being fair. We've been together for so long, why did you only tell him and not us?"
She stood with her hands on her hips, looking like no one could appease her.
"It's alright, it's alright, my waiter is good at making money, there are plenty of rooms."
The waiter, whose hands were practically sparking from knitting, suddenly sneezed.
He rubbed his nose and continued his work, seemingly unconcerned.
"Why are you here too?" Lin Xi's gaze lingered on the person at the back. "Aren't you going to keep Sister Wen company?"
“Everyone misses you. Come and visit. I’ll be going back in a couple of days. Your sister-in-law is pregnant, and it’s too far for her to come from the Wind Eagle Regiment, so I didn’t let her come along.”
Lin Xi's eyes lit up. "Wow! Does that mean I, as the aunt, should prepare some red envelopes?"
Chen Jin's ears turned bright red.
A group of friends sat around a hot pot, which was steaming hot; this time, the ingredients were plentiful.
Lu Nan sighed, "Tell me, we reached level seven a little later than Jiang Chuan, so how come we're still members of the Gold Badge?"
Chen Jin didn't care and raised his hands in surrender, "Don't drag me into this. I'm retiring soon. I'll find some other work so I can stay home and spend time with my wife and kids."
The group chatted and laughed.
However, Lin Xi still felt a little regretful.
Uncle Jiang was holding his chopsticks, lost in thought, when suddenly his nose stung with tears. He quickly lowered his head to hide the emotions in his eyes.
He Chao patted him on the shoulder, "Uncle Jiang?"
"It's nothing, I'm just happy. After all this time, the hardship is finally over." His expression had returned to normal, though his voice was slightly choked. "Let's not talk about those unhappy things..."
He immediately changed the subject and looked at Jiang Chuan, "Xiao Chuan, do you guys have any plans? Why don't you stay?"
Lin Xi looked behind Jiang Chuan and saw that the pendant on the sword hilt was still there.
“I want to go back too. Although things are peaceful for now, they will definitely need us in the process of rebuilding order. Besides, my purpose has never changed.”
Upon hearing this answer, Lin Xi smiled.
After this brief gathering, everyone will once again embark on their own future endeavors.
"Then I wish you all the best and smooth sailing ahead!"
