She had planned to get it later, but when she looked at the dirty sheets with some disgust and was about to take out new sheets, she realized that the sheets were in the backpack that Mu Yanxuan was holding.
The backpack contained not only bed sheets but also her change of clothes. These were all things that Kaqi brought from the Xiyu base. At the time, Mu Yanxuan offered to help her carry them because they were too heavy, but now he had completely forgotten to bring them back.
"I guess I'll just have to go get it?" Ji Yueyao sighed, then opened the door and walked towards Mu Yanxuan's room.
His room was slightly ajar, but there was no lock. Even if it wasn't locked, Ji Yueyao wouldn't dare to push the door open and go in. Who knew what that guy was doing?
"Mu Yanxuan, may I come in for a moment?" Ji Yueyao asked softly.
"Mmm." Mu Yanxuan responded very softly, but Ji Yueyao, who was standing outside the door, still heard it. She blinked and decisively pushed the door open.
Then Ji Yueyao was truly speechless.
Mu Yanxuan was sitting upright on the corner of a dilapidated table in the room. It was clear that only that corner of the entire room had been wiped clean. The surroundings were a mess, with spiders and insects scurrying about. Mu Yanxuan felt completely out of place sitting there.
"Haven't you tidied up here yet?" Ji Yueyao turned her head to avoid the large patch of cobwebs above her head, looking at the man sitting at the corner of the table with a speechless expression.
"Hmm." Mu Yanxuan's voice was still very soft. Because of the shadows, Ji Yueyao could not see the expression on his face. However, based on Ji Yueyao's first instinct, Mu Yanxuan's mood did not seem to be very good.
Faced with such a strange Mu Yanxuan, Ji Yueyao really didn't know what to do. "Um... I'm here to get my backpack."
"Oh." Mu Yanxuan seemed a little disappointed. He raised his finger and pointed to the table, saying indifferently, "There it is."
Ji Yueyao turned around, picked up her backpack, and after a moment of silence, finally couldn't help but ask, "Mu Yanxuan, what's wrong? You seem strange."
"Is your arm better?" Mu Yanxuan asked, seemingly unrelated to the question, but instead stood up and walked towards Ji Yueyao. The immense pressure made Ji Yueyao take a slight step back, but seeing Mu Yanxuan so close, she ultimately didn't retreat any further.
Mu Yanxuan lifted her arm and examined it carefully several times before he felt at ease. Although the termites' healing abilities were undeniable, he still felt uncomfortable.
“It’s all better now.” Ji Yueyao blinked and said as if she understood something. “Hmm… I don’t know if you became like this because of what Yin Longyuan said, but you really don’t need to be angry. I’ve already explained it to Yin Longyuan, so don’t worry about him misunderstanding our relationship.”
"Misunderstanding our relationship?" The temperature in the room suddenly dropped to negative. Mu Yanxuan raised his head and looked directly at Ji Yueyao, saying, "What do you think our relationship is?"
Ji Yueyao avoided Mu Yanxuan's icy gaze, lowered her eyes slightly, and said softly, "We...should we be considered friends?"
"Friends?" Mu Yanxuan sneered. "Ji Yueyao, you're heartless." Mu Yanxuan looked at the girl in front of her, and her mood suddenly turned sour.
Meanwhile, in a villa area somewhere in the Nanxiao base.
"My lord." Yin Longyuan knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully.
The proper way to greet someone at the Nanxiao base is to kneel on one knee, strike their chest with their left hand, and place their right hand on the ground. However, this greeting is generally unacceptable to lower-class people; only the top twenty members of the elite class are entitled to receive it.
"How's the new guy? Is he worth recruiting?" The high-ranking man leaned back in his chair with interest, a faint smile playing on his lips. Deep within his smiling eyes lay a cold barrier, as if it might burst forth at any moment to deliver a fatal blow.
"The new group consists of thirteen people, two women and eleven men. I didn't sense any supernatural energy from one of the women, but she quickly twisted and died the moment the bird attacked her and disappeared from the spot. Strangely, apart from a man who seemed to have healing abilities and another man who was always about three or four steps away from Ji Yueyao, I didn't sense any supernatural energy from the others at all." Yin Longyuan reported in a deep voice all the things he had discovered in a short period of time.
"That's really strange." The arrogant man sneered. "Perhaps there's someone in this team who can hide their special abilities."
"Is it possible for such a superpower to exist?" Yin Longyuan frowned. If such a superpowered person really existed, then he would be an excellent tool for infiltration.
"What strange superpowers don't they have these days?" the man sneered. "It seems the overall strength of this team is still unknown... Launch an investigation as soon as possible. If this team is indeed an unclaimed group, then it would be a good asset."
"Yes, sir." Yin Longyuan nodded in response, and then, as he stood up, he suddenly thought of something and continued, "There are two other things that have attracted attention. One is that there is a man who is always by Ji Yueyao's side. Although no supernatural power fluctuations can be detected from his body, the killing intent emanating from him shows that this guy is definitely not an ordinary person."
"His name?" the man asked, intrigued.
“A suspenseful statement,” Yin Longyuan said softly.
"What an ordinary name." The man curled his lip, his narrowed eyes clearly showing disdain. "And the second one?"
"The second incident occurred after Ji Yueyao and the others arrived at their lodgings. A man broke away from their group and left alone. I sent someone to follow him and discovered that he seemed to be heading towards the Black People's reception area. He was undoubtedly going to find the Black People." Yin Longyuan lowered his head, but his words were exceptionally clear.
"Black people?" The man raised his hand to his forehead, the smile on his lips completely gone. "Keep an eye on them."
"Yes, Lord Wei Qin." Yin Longyuan nodded emphatically and quickly withdrew.
Meanwhile, Zhenyang, the man being discussed by Yin Longyuan, was standing there looking miserable... as punishment.
"Hey~" Zhenyang looked pitifully at the man sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and a cigarette in his mouth.
The man had regular features and was quite handsome, but his wicked aura always gave off a dangerous feeling. The cigarette in his mouth wasn't lit; he was just grinding the end of it with his front teeth, clearly using the poor cigarette stick as a teething toy.
"Why don't you give me the whip?" A burly man next to him glared with his big eyes and laughed loudly. "I think if the boss bites this eye any longer, it'll end up in the boss's stomach."
"You know I don't smoke." The man snorted, glanced at Zhenyang who was standing there pitifully as punishment, and curled his lip. "Crush it up and feed it to this idiot."
If he ate that head, wouldn't he just die instantly?! Zhenyang was terrified and quickly begged for mercy, almost kneeling and kowtowing.
