Seemingly to convince others, Tilina increased the pressure in her hand, and the blade slowly cut through her skin, with a slight trickle of blood about to seep out.
The slight pain in her neck didn't distract Qi Jiu; on the contrary, she looked rather relaxed.
"You've got yourself killed, don't blame me!"
"What?"
Before Tilina could understand what she meant, she felt a sharp pain in her chest, followed by a sharp pain in her wrist, and then she was taken into custody.
"Clang!"
By the time she realized what was happening, the dagger had already fallen to the ground, and she herself had been pinned to the ground by her arm.
The contact between her cheek and the floor, along with the dust and dirt, made her feel like her self-esteem was being crushed.
Qi Jiu carelessly wiped away the last bit of red on her neck, and then stepped directly onto her head with her Martin boots.
"Or... how about I punish you by sending you to a deserted island?"
Upon hearing the mention of the deserted island, Tirina's expression changed drastically. The fear on her face was impossible to conceal, and even her lips were trembling.
Wu Mei was also covered in goosebumps, and no one dared to say a word.
As the name suggests, this deserted island is sparsely populated, but it is teeming with poisonous creatures and ferocious beasts.
It's entirely possible that even a tiny insect could cause unbearable suffering, and these were all raised by Qi Jiu herself.
Their toxicity and lethality are absolutely top-notch.
"No, no! Master, I was wrong! I was wrong! Please give me a chance! I don't want to go to the deserted island, please spare me!"
"Too late!"
The girl waved her hand, seemingly indifferent.
Seeing no sign of improvement, Tilina felt utterly hopeless and stared wide-eyed at Lu Kui.
"Why! We clearly agreed on this! Why!"
Lu Kui helplessly shrugged. "I've been Mu Bai's woman for a long time. She's the only one who will follow me in the West."
Qi Jiu looked at her energetic appearance and raised an eyebrow with a slight smile. "So energetic!"
She reached out and patted Wu Mei, saying casually, "Just cut her Achilles tendon, she's too noisy."
"No! No! Ahhh! You'll die a horrible death, Mu Bai!"
Tilina was taken away amidst shouting and screaming. Qi Jiu also put on a mask and baseball cap again, covering herself up completely before leaving.
"Brother, it seems we're too late. I heard Mu Bai has already left. And the matter in the west is over."
Chongyu sat in the passenger seat, looking at the west that had returned to normal, feeling a little regretful.
I finally had this opportunity to meet Mu Bai, but it was unexpectedly delayed by an unforeseen event.
Qi Silin didn't think much of it. Mu Bai and 'Yin' had been shrouded in mystery since their emergence, and it wouldn't hurt to find out their true identities this time.
Anyway, no one in the whole world knows Mu Bai's true nature.
"It's alright, let's go."
Upon hearing the order, Liu Feng started the car, but just as the car began to move, another command came from behind him.
"Wait a moment!"
"master?"
Qi Silin did not reply, but frowned and focused his gaze on the figure not far from the western base.
He looked at the figure, and the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed. It was as if he'd seen it somewhere before…
"Chongyu".
"Brother?" Chong Yu looked in the direction Qi Silin was staring. He didn't speak at first, but his expression changed after two seconds. "That figure is... President Qi?"
Upon hearing the unfamiliar name, Liu Feng was bewildered and subconsciously looked at Liu Yun.
Who is Ms. Qi? Is she a woman?
Liu Yun didn't speak, but looked in that direction as well. Unfortunately, he only saw a tail; the figure had just gotten into an SUV and then left.
"Why would Boss Qi be here? Is she connected to the West?"
Liu Yun disagreed, "Master, it's indeed impressive that President Qi became the representative of Xingyue at such a young age, but isn't it a bit exaggerated for him to appear in the West?"
How old is she?
Becoming a representative of the Star and Moon is already incredible, but is this Continent Z a place that anyone can come and go as they please?
This place is a den of iniquity; without power and influence, you simply cannot survive here.
The master seems to think too highly of Qi Jiu.
But Qi Silin still didn't give up, so he took out his phone and dialed Qi Jiu's number. He thought it would take a while for her to answer, but to his surprise, she answered after only one ring.
"President Qi?" the girl's voice was soft.
"Hmm... I'm a little upset about suddenly standing Xingyue up. Mr. Qi, do you have time this afternoon? I'd like to invite you to lunch."
"Sure, you can set the time."
Having received a reply, Qi Silin frowned slightly. She agreed so readily? Could it really not be her?
There was nothing amiss in his tone, and there was no noise around...
"How about we wait a couple of days? Something's come up, and I hope Mr. Qi will do me the honor then."
"Since President Qi is treating us to dinner, we should certainly give him face."
After exchanging a few words, Qi Silin hung up the phone.
"Brother, isn't that President Qi? I might have really mistaken her. At first glance, she really does look a bit like her. But a girl's back view should be pretty similar, right?"
Chongyu smiled broadly.
Qi Silin didn't speak, closed his eyes, and carefully thought about the figure he had just seen.
Finally, he let out a long sigh, "Maybe... it really isn't her."
Probably.
On the other side, Qi Jiu looked at the call log, her expression intriguing.
Did they discover it or not? I felt there was something wrong with the gift they gave me before; this person is really cunning.
Qi Silin, who was quite cunning: "..."
"Master? What will you do if the other end of that phone call doesn't change their mind?"
Perhaps because they were so close, Qi Jiu didn't try to hide it, and Wu Mei overheard the conversation.
"We'll talk about it later. These things can all be resolved. Besides, he might not even have time right now."
We've already eliminated the noise using specialized technology, so shouldn't the rest be easy to solve?
The events of this afternoon spread like wildfire throughout 'Hidden,' and they learned that their master had secretly returned.
That day, the patrol captain who used to tease Wu Chi was now standing trembling in front of him, not daring to raise his head, like a primary school student who had made a mistake.
"Brother, brother...I..."
Wu Chi laughed, "If I hadn't stopped you, what else would you have been planning to say?"
"Master...I was wrong."
Qi Jiu waved her hand, "It's alright, it's normal for the patrol captain to have a different focus."
Patrol Captain: "..."
Night falls, and the sound of cicadas begins.
As a continent with a time difference from China, Z has different times and climates.
Qi Jiu had just hung up on Shen Sisi when Shen Cimo called again.
