Mu Yanxuan looked at the hand gripping her arm, then raised her hand to cover it. "What's wrong?"
“Wei Kang, he…”
"Ji Yueyao, what are you doing?" Just as Ji Yueyao was about to explain, a familiar voice came from behind her. She froze, turned around somewhat awkwardly, and sure enough, she found Wei Kang standing not far behind her. He was covered in sweat, obviously having just finished training.
"Ahem, so you weren't in your room." Ji Yueyao coughed lightly to cover up her slight embarrassment and said softly, "I came to find you."
"Looking for me? Didn't I tell you we have nothing to do with each other anymore?" Wei Kang turned his face away expressionlessly, glanced at Mu Yanxuan, and then narrowed his eyes slightly. Although the man in front of him hadn't said a word, he was simply standing still, yet he exuded an invisible sense of pressure. "Who are you?"
“Wei Kang, why are you suddenly saying this? We’re partners… At the very least, I want to know why you want to sever ties with me.” Ji Yueyao naturally avoided Wei Kang’s question, but asked the question that mattered most to her, saying directly, “Wei Kang, come with me to leave the Xiyu base. We’ll go to the Nanxiao base. Lin Xuan is also at the Nanxiao base now, and we’ve been waiting for your arrival.”
She originally planned to secretly take Wei Kang away, but now that her whereabouts have been exposed at the Xiyu base, there's no point in sneaking around anymore.
"Lin Xuan is the third seat at the Nanxiao base, right?" Wei Kang looked at Ji Yueyao, his eyes flashing with an unreadable light.
“Hmm…” Ji Yueyao nodded, not understanding why Wei Kang would suddenly ask such a question.
"Tsk." Wei Kang lowered his head slightly. Ji Yueyao, who always thought she knew Wei Kang well, was also stunned at this moment, not understanding why Wei Kang's feeling had suddenly changed.
"Do you... care about status?" Ji Yueyao looked at Wei Kang's face and suddenly caught the thought that had almost flashed through her mind.
That's right. No matter how you look at it, Wei Kang was the strongest among them back then. But now even Lin Xuan, who hasn't focused on training at all, has reached a position that Wei Kang can't reach, while Wei Kang is still not even as good as an ordinary person... Anyone would be unwilling to accept that, right?
Wei Kang's expression froze. He gritted his teeth and used almost all his strength to suppress the voice that was about to burst out, "No."
His answer was so decisive that even Ji Yueyao wasn't entirely convinced. Looking at Wei Kang's face, exactly as she remembered, Ji Yueyao didn't press him further, but instead took a step back and asked, "So what exactly happened to you?"
She really couldn't believe that Wei Kang would suddenly say he wanted to sever ties with her.
“Ji Yueyao, I can go to the Nanxiao base with you.” Wei Kang looked at Ji Yueyao in front of him, his eyes filled with a stubbornness she had never seen before. “But there are conditions.”
"Go ahead." Ji Yueyao, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, frowned imperceptibly. More conditions?
Wei Kang didn't notice Ji Yueyao's expression. He went straight to the point and said, "I heard that you are now dating Mu Yanxuan, the commander of the military region."
"..." Ji Yueyao was stunned for a moment. What the hell? How did this get to this?
Mu Yanxuan raised an eyebrow, and the look in her eyes as she swept over Wei Kang seemed to have lessened a bit of hostility. It was indeed quite pleasant to hear such words coming from someone else. Hmm, she would have to make his relationship with Ji Yueyao public in the future, so that she could hear such things anytime, anywhere.
"Who told you that?" Ji Yueyao coughed lightly, glanced at Mu Yanxuan, and looked at him. Although he had a blank expression on his face, she was sure that he was thinking about all sorts of crazy things.
Wei Kang shrugged. "Bamboo and wood."
"Well done, Zhu Mu! It really is him!" A dark light flashed in Ji Yueyao's eyes. She didn't say anything, but from this moment on, Zhu Mu was destined to lead a life so busy it would drive him crazy for the next few months.
Who told Zhu Mu to dare embarrass his boss?
Wei Kang clearly had no interest in dwelling on this matter, and he quickly returned to the main topic, "My condition is very simple: you sever ties with the military region commander Mu Yanxuan, and I will immediately return to the Nanxiao base with you. I don't ask you to give me a high position; I will start from the bottom and climb step by step to the position that belongs to me."
The surrounding air suddenly turned cold, and the eerie sense of oppression was like a thick, dark cloud, making it hard to breathe.
Ji Yueyao glanced at Mu Yanxuan and sighed inwardly, "Well, Wei Kang didn't explode, but Mu Yanxuan did."
All his previous good mood vanished. Mu Yanxuan made no attempt to hide the murderous intent in his eyes as he stared directly at Wei Kang. Wei Kang, of course, also keenly sensed this. A chill ran down his spine, and he took two steps back, warily watching Mu Yanxuan.
However, his entire leg suddenly felt numb. Wei Kang gritted his teeth, wondering just how much pressure this man in front of him was exerting.
Ji Yueyao helplessly stopped Mu Yanxuan, who was on the verge of exploding, and frowned as she looked at Wei Kang, "Why would you ask such a question?"
"It's strange that you can even ask such a question," Wei Kang sneered. "Ji Yueyao, have you forgotten that the person who injured me and made me unconscious for so long was from the military region? And now you're so close to people from the military region. Do you even consider me a partner anymore?!"
Hearing Wei Kang's slightly agitated voice, Ji Yueyao was caught off guard and froze on the spot. The reason he was angry was actually this?
Whether it was because she had experienced too much and her mind had matured, or because she hadn't spent much time with Wei Kang, Ji Yueyao found Wei Kang's reason laughable.
