"Powerful force..." Xia Yaoxuan was somewhat lost in thought. "Should we go take a look?"
"What are you looking at?" Chu Sheng didn't react for a moment.
Xia Yaoxuan glanced at the stunned Chu Sheng, then got up and walked out.
"Notify everyone to prepare to return to Nanxiao Base."
Chu Sheng watched Xia Yaoxuan's figure disappear into the distance before turning back to Ah Bao, "Boss, what's with this sudden change?"
“How could I know things you don’t even know?” Ah Bao shook his head, stepped forward and patted Chu Sheng on the shoulder. “Alright, don’t worry about what’s wrong with the boss. Just do your job. If the boss had been serious today, I guess I would have been preparing your grave by now.”
"Get lost, don't say such unlucky things." Chu Sheng glared at Ah Bao and waved his fist fiercely.
Ah Bao had no choice but to raise his hand in surrender, then pointed out the window, indicating that he should hurry up and go find Xia Yaoxuan.
Chu Sheng glanced at Xia Yaoxuan outside the window, then stretched his numb shoulders and quickly went out, not forgetting to glare at A Bao as he opened the door.
Why are you glaring at him? Ah Bao looked completely innocent.
Back at the Nanxiao base, Ji Yueyao was sneezing repeatedly. She propped her head up and stared out the window speechlessly, her face full of resentment. She knew that winter was the most terrifying season in this world, but this was just too cold... She pulled her clothes tighter and sighed softly.
The clothes and other warm items were all obtained by Kaqi in exchange for alien cores. Now, they have very few alien cores left from the Nanxiao base. Thinking of this, Ji Yueyao immediately brushed her bangs in frustration. She had killed quite a few aliens in the Forbidden Forest, so why couldn't she remember bringing back a few alien cores?
Now things are really messed up; all of their food has to be supported by the resources Lin Xuan provides every month... Shouldn't the bar's profits count too? Ji Yueyao looked at the snowflakes outside the window and hummed an unknown tune.
Mu Yanxuan woke up last night, but the way he looked so preoccupied made people worry.
"Captain!" Termite suddenly rushed in from outside the door, grabbed the table in front of Ji Yueyao, and began to pant heavily.
Ji Yueyao calmly looked up at him, waved her hand to signal him not to rush and to speak slowly.
"My lord... my lord is leaving, why don't you see him off!" Bai Yi wasn't as calm as Ji Yueyao. He choked on his words, almost choking. But what he said surprised Ji Yueyao. She stood up abruptly, quickly put on the coat on her chair, and strode towards the door. "What happened? Explain yourself."
"This time, despite the military's apparent calm on the surface, things are actually in chaos behind the scenes after Lord Lingyang's disappearance." Bai Yi strode to catch up with Ji Yueyao and quickened his pace to walk ahead of her. "The Northern Military Region is spreading rumors that Lord Lingyang is dead. The Southern Military Region appears to be running smoothly under Lord Lingyang's management, but morale within the military is wavering."
"Is it that serious?" Ji Yueyao quickened her pace. "Where is Mu Yanxuan now?"
“It’s right there.” Baiyi led Ji Yueyao to the back door of the house and pointed to Mu Yanxuan standing at the door, saying softly.
Ji Yueyao looked up and saw that Mu Yanxuan was wearing casual clothes with a white wool sweater underneath, which looked very thin.
"Mu Yanxuan." Ji Yueyao took a few steps forward. "Why didn't you tell me you were leaving?"
Upon seeing Ji Yueyao, Mu Yanxuan's deep eyes lit up. He turned around and moved closer to Ji Yueyao, looking quite aggrieved when he heard her accusation, "I sent the termites to find you."
"Fine." Ji Yueyao realized she was being unreasonable. She took a deep breath, looked up and stared directly into Mu Yanxuan's eyes, and asked, "Are you leaving?"
"Yes." Mu Yanxuan nodded. "The morale of the army is unstable, and there have been some minor problems at the border. I have to go back and take a look."
"Oh ho, who would dare trouble you, old man?" Ling Yang walked out from the side and said sarcastically as soon as Mu Yanxuan finished speaking.
Mu Yanxuan raised an eyebrow, then put his arm around Ji Yueyao's shoulder. "Ignore him." (To be continued.)
