"Uh...it's nothing." Ji Yueyao shook her head and sat back down. In her previous world, her childhood sweetheart was also named Xia Yaoxuan, so she was genuinely a little stunned when she suddenly heard this name.
"Go on," Ji Yueyao said softly, adjusting her emotions.
“Hmm…” After thinking for a moment, the termite cleared its mind. “This time, the Black Race leader Xia Yaoxuan provided a large amount of oil to Yin Longyuan… that is, Qin Lichang’s side. This may be one of the reasons why Yin Longyuan is so confident now.”
"One of the reasons is... You mentioned earlier that Yin Longyuan has a powerful backer." Ji Yueyao lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then slowly glanced out the window, before narrowing her eyes slightly and saying, "Could it be that Qin Lichang has come here?"
The termite seemed to sense something and looked out the window, then frowned. "It's not impossible, but Qin Lichang is, after all, in charge of the Northern Military Region. Although he is a head lower than the lord in terms of rank, he is practically all-powerful in the Northern Region, almost on par with the Northern Region Commander... In that case, I don't think he would come in person."
Ji Yueyao shrugged noncommittally, "That's true." But didn't Mu Yanxuan also come here in person...? Ji Yueyao rolled her eyes inwardly, thinking that Mu Yanxuan was indeed no ordinary person.
“Well… Mu Yanxuan is here too, isn’t he?” Kaqi said, sitting to the side and resting her neck on her hand, directly expressing Ji Yueyao’s thoughts.
"Ahem, I'm not too sure about that either." White Ant glared at Kachi. Well, it's understandable that this guy is just an ordinary person and can't detect anything. However, White Ant was very unhappy that she directly addressed Mu Yanxuan by his full name. At this moment, White Ant glanced at the calm Ji Yueyao. He didn't dare to say anything in front of her.
And also, of course the adults came for Ji Yueyao. Is Kaqi stupid for asking that question?
As the termite was inwardly grumbling, it suddenly raised its eyes, stood up, and looked at the sofa behind Ji Yueyao. "Captain, the child has woken up."
Ji Yueyao blinked, put down what she was holding, and looked over. Wang Yingjie had indeed woken up. He sat up and stared blankly at Ji Yueyao and the others, seemingly not fully awake yet.
"Wang Yingjie, how are you feeling?" Ji Yueyao got up and walked over to ask. Wang Yingjie seemed to have just woken up. He then got up and pushed Ji Yueyao away hard. He ran down to the ground and ran towards the door. However, perhaps because he had just woken up and his body had not fully adapted, he collapsed to the ground after only a few steps. He knocked over a water glass on the table, splashing water all over the floor.
"..." Kids are definitely the most troublesome. Ji Yueyao rolled her eyes silently as she looked at Wang Yingjie, who was too weak to get up.
Seeing Wang Yingjie fall, Kaqi quickly came over, picked him up, and placed him on the sofa beside her. She gently coaxed him, "You just woke up, don't run around. We're not bad people. Um... what's your name?"
Wang Yingjie stubbornly puffed out his cheeks, ignoring Kaqi's question. He sat on the sofa, looked around at everyone, and then said with some resentment, "Why did you save me?"
"What do you mean by that? If it weren't for our captain, you would be dead by now." Kachi pointed to Ji Yueyao, who was standing behind her leaning against the table yawning, expressing her dissatisfaction with Wang Yingjie's attitude.
Wang Yingjie followed the gaze and tilted his head awkwardly when he saw Ji Yueyao. "Sister Ji Yueyao, if you hadn't saved me, my sisters could have easily taken care of Wu Tian and the others..."
Ji Yueyao raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Wang Yingjie seemed to remember her, but his reason was rather thought-provoking. Ji Yueyao smiled slightly and walked over. "What do you mean?"
Wang Yingjie shook his head, pursing his lips and not intending to speak.
"Wang Yingjie, what kind of person do you think I am?" Ji Yueyao raised an eyebrow and sat down on the sofa opposite Wang Yingjie with little patience. Bai Yi and Lin Xuan stood behind Ji Yueyao, while Kaqi was cleaning up the water that had been spilled on the floor with little interest.
Wang Yingjie looked up at Ji Yueyao, then at Lin Xuan standing behind her, and quickly lowered his head. "Sister has very capable people under her command who were able to kill Wu Yun. Sister is a good person."
Ji Yueyao's smile seemed to deepen, her bright black eyes locking onto Wang Yingjie. "Oh? How do you know Lin Xuan is one of my men?"
"My sister said so," Wang Yingjie said softly.
"Since I'm not a bad person... could you tell me about what happened earlier, who you took care of?" Ji Yueyao raised her head with a faint smile.
Wang Yingjie glanced at Ji Yueyao, looking somewhat hesitant. "They said my sister isn't one of us."
"Over there?" Something flashed through Ji Yueyao's mind, and she blurted out almost subconsciously, "Commoner forces?"
"How did you know about us?!" Wang Yingjie exclaimed incredulously, her eyes wide, before covering her mouth as if she had just realized what was happening.
Ji Yueyao sighed softly. Such a force really exists, and she had a feeling that this team was not a rabble.
The termites seemed somewhat shocked as they watched Wang Yingjie deep in thought.
Looking out the window, Ji Yueyao slumped back down and said softly, "I knew it... Alright, your brother has said everything he should and shouldn't have said. Wang Yingying, aren't you coming out yet?"
There was a moment of silence at the window, then a rustling sound came from outside. In the blink of an eye, Wang Yingying jumped in through the window.
"Sister?" Wang Yingjie's eyes widened. She had barely uttered the word "sister" before tears streamed down her face. Her choked-up expression was heartbreaking to see. "I'm sorry, sister, I didn't complete the mission properly."
Wang Yingying's eyes also seemed to redden, but she swallowed her tears and patted Wang Yingjie's back to comfort him, "You didn't delay the mission. Wu Tian and the others are dead."
"Dead? But... I was rescued by Sister Ji Yueyao. Sister, you shouldn't be able to carry out any operations, right?" Wang Yingjie wiped away her tears and said softly.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yueyao raised her eyebrows and then looked at Wang Yingying with a complicated expression.
"Wu Tian and the others were all killed by Sister Ji Yueyao." Wang Yingying turned around and glanced at Ji Yueyao, then sighed and said, "Thank you for saving my brother."
Ji Yueyao looked directly at Wang Yingying, and only spoke when Wang Yingying turned her face away uncomfortably, "You're welcome, but I'm... a little curious about you."
Lin Xuan and Bai Yi stood with their arms crossed against the window, giving off the impression that they should "confess honestly or you're not allowed to leave."
Wang Yingying smiled wryly, then looked at Ji Yueyao, "Just as you said, we are a force assembled by ordinary people."
"You want to... rebel against the upper class... that is, the twenty seats?" Ji Yueyao leaned back easily, then gestured for Wang Yingying to sit down as well.
Wang Yingying eventually sat down, hugging Wang Yingjie without seeming too restrained. (To be continued.)
