At this moment, Qi Jiu glanced at Qi Silin and Chong Yu, then left the fighting arena without lingering.
She knew this had nothing to do with Qi Silin, but the anger in her heart was like having eaten poop, and she couldn't suppress it no matter what.
anger:"……"
Help! It won't eat poop!
To avoid beating them both up as well, she decided that out of sight, out of mind, leaving was the best course of action. Otherwise, she couldn't guarantee what she might do next.
Qi Silin looked at the girl's retreating figure, who hadn't stopped, and rubbed his nose with a headache.
Oh no, she's angry. Should I try to comfort her?
Before arriving here, he had a general understanding of what had happened. Looking at Meng Han, who was still standing on the stage, his eyes were filled with coldness.
“Island Master…you can’t let her act so arrogantly on Death Gate Island, I just…”
Meng Han used almost all her strength to tell Qi Silin what was on her mind, but before she could finish speaking, he interrupted her.
“As I said before, N enjoys all the same privileges as me. You stole the key to her room from the logistics department. Since you're courting death, you have no one to blame but yourself. From today onwards, mercenary Meng Han is expelled from Death Gate Island!”
As soon as the words were spoken, Meng Han was stunned. The mercenaries beside her were also stunned.
No, that's not right, things shouldn't have turned out this way.
"Island Master...it's just a photograph. I've risked my life for Death Gate Island, you can't treat me like this..."
The man acted as if he hadn't heard a word, turned around and left the fighting arena without lingering.
Seeing that things were not improving, Meng Han was so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted again.
The mercenaries beside her didn't dare to utter a sound. As if they had planned it together, they looked at Meng Han with pity.
Although they didn't understand why the island lord would expel the mercenaries he had served for years from the island just because of a photograph, but...
Who would want a mercenary expelled from Death Gate Island? Whether she could even live a decent life afterward was a question. In such a ruthless place, what future did she have?
On the other side, only after Chongyu left the fighting arena did he dare to speak slowly.
"Brother, Meng Han may have made a mistake, but it doesn't warrant death."
The man glanced at him. "But I didn't kill her, did I?"
Chongyu: "..."
What's the difference between being expelled from Death Gate Island and being dead? Is there any way to survive after leaving Death Gate Island?
Seeing that Chongyu wanted to say something more, Qi Silin stopped him.
"Do you think this is just a matter of a photo? When was the last time I saw her pinning someone to the ground and beating them up? Meng Han must have stepped on Qi Jiu's red line."
After he finished speaking, Chongyu realized that this matter was extraordinary, so he simply stopped talking.
He followed the person in front of him back to the office, and was stunned to see Qi Silin wandering around and collecting food as soon as he entered the office.
"Brother, are you... fleeing for your life? Our Death Gate Island isn't that poor, is it? Where are you packing all this up to go?"
Qi Silin didn't even look up. "She's angry. You need to coax her."
The implication is that all of these belong to Qi Jiu.
Chongyu: "..."
No, when I was angry before, why didn't you try to comfort me? Don't be so hypocritical!
Before he could figure it out, he saw Qi Silin staring at him with wide eyes. "What are you standing there for! Come on over!"
Chongyu: "..."
Well done, I won't say a word until my lawyer arrives!
Back in her room, Qi Jiu clutched the photo, looking like a puppet on strings, her eyes vacant, but the aura of "keep away" emanating from her hadn't dissipated much.
Suddenly, "thump thump thump".
There was a knock on the door. The girl slowly turned her head to look at the door. When the knocking started again, she got up from the sofa, walked to the door, and opened it.
"Qiqi!"
As soon as the door opened, there was a picture of Chong Yu grinning with his big teeth showing; even a suit couldn't hide his irritating aura.
Qi Jiu: "..."
"Qiqi, you... eh?"
Before Chongyu could finish speaking, he was pushed aside by the person next to him.
Qi Silin was carrying a large plate, laden with fruit and candy. The girl's eyes immediately fell on the bright mints in the plate.
"Qiqi." The man seemed hesitant to speak, so the girl turned around and opened the door for him.
"Come in."
Chongyu tiptoed into the house, and instead of sitting on the large sofa that could fit several people, he chose to sit on the small tatami mat in the room.
Looking at Chongyu, such a big guy, curled up on the tatami mat, Qi Jiu: "..."
Qi Silin, on the other hand, seemed much more generous and sat down on the sofa.
The air suddenly became quiet. He looked at the damaged photo on the table in front of him, hesitated for a long time, and then slowly spoke.
"Qiqi, this girl in the photo must be very important to you, right?"
Perhaps this is a question that shouldn't be asked now, but since he can't find the root of the problem, any comforting he can offer will only be a temporary fix.
She probably just let it go in one ear and out the other.
Speaking of photos, Qi Jiu's gaze unconsciously shifted to the table.
Her slender fingers held the photo, and her eyes were filled with nostalgia.
"Her name is Nan Chu. She is my good friend and my savior."
The moment the words "savior" were uttered, Qi Silin and the other man understood how important this girl was to Qi Jiu.
Chong Yu gritted his teeth at the thought that he had previously intended to speak well of Meng Han, and wished he could slap himself twice right now.
He deserves to die! He almost made a terrible mistake today!
“I watched her die in front of me, and I was powerless to do anything about it. At that time, I didn’t even have the ability to avenge her.” As she spoke, a bitter smile appeared on the girl’s lips.
"After that, I had the ability and I avenged her, but she never woke up again. I often think that if I had the ability back then, she might not have died."
Qi Silin and the other man listened to her words slowly, both falling into deep thought.
In fact, Qi Jiu is already very impressive. At the age of just coming of age, she is not only a representative of Xingyue Huaguo, but also the legendary hacker N.
If you were to reveal just one of these identities, you could brag about it for a lifetime.
The girl was still lost in her memories when she came to her senses and felt a touch on the top of her head.
Looking up, I saw Qi Silin's gentle, smiling face.
“You’re already amazing. You’re living a carefree life now. I’m sure Nan Chu would be happy for you in heaven.”
The man's voice was soft, like he was coaxing a child, and his hands moved gently, stroking her little head again and again.
Then, he picked out a mint from the plate and handed it to her.
