After meeting Yan Rulong's firm gaze for a moment, Ning Feng silently nodded.
Yan Rulong had his own principles, and Ning Feng couldn't change them.
"However, Chai Ya and the others are not on the list of those nine people. Even Luo Da, who was the most seriously injured, only needs to rest for half a month."
"But they still asked me for a month's leave. Do you understand what that means?"
meaning?
Ning Feng understood what the three of them meant after a moment's thought.
This is a notification and a statement of attitude.
Chai Ya and her group were not part of the team under Bincheng, so even if they wanted to ask for leave, they shouldn't have submitted it to Yan Rulong.
Unless it was to inform Yan Rulong and then pass it on to Ning Feng through him.
They gave Ning Feng an opportunity—a legitimate reason for him to switch teams while they were on vacation.
It's best to part amicably.
Before they fully gel, let him find better teammates.
The reason for this situation is quite simple.
Because Chai Ya and the others felt that their strength was no longer a good match for Ning Feng's, and that it was not suitable for them to continue forming a team.
Chai Ya and Lu Qing were unaware of what Ning Feng had done or his strength.
But just by reviewing the battle afterward, they could tell just how much of a contribution Ning Feng had made.
Given his achievements, you can't possibly say he's just an ordinary first-tier awakened individual.
Please stop lying to us.
Luo Da understood even more clearly; he had truly witnessed Ning Feng's displayed strength.
The moment Ning Feng saved him, Ning Feng's strength had already shocked him, not to mention his subsequent achievements.
Ning Feng definitely has a secret.
But Rhoda didn't tell anyone about his findings, and his report also concealed his eyewitness account of Ning Feng, attributing everything to the Lake of Consciousness...
Don't ask me!
I didn't see anything!
Then, he used the excuse of feeling unwell to have Chai Ya submit an application to Yan Rulong.
Such talent is an irresistible temptation for any team, and holding onto him tightly is the best choice.
But Rhoda still chose to let go.
Because he was very clear about the level of his group.
They're perfectly capable of mentoring newcomers, but they're not qualified for high-level adventures.
Chai Ya was somewhat surprised, but trusting Rhoda, she submitted the application without asking for a reason, following his instructions.
Looking at Ning Feng's slightly complicated expression, Yan Rulong remained calm and said softly:
"I think you understand what they mean. As for how to decide, I can't give you advice. I can only say..."
"For us soldiers, this kind of thing happens often, so don't feel guilty."
"On this road, we are always meeting and always losing."
"Some people will always be left behind, but all we can do is keep looking forward and keep moving forward."
Ning Feng was originally one of the group of people who were left behind, but now Yan Rulong naturally excluded him.
"You'll definitely encounter similar situations again in the future, and you need to learn to get used to it."
It seems that Yan Rulong has more confidence in Ning Feng's future than Ning Feng himself.
He had finished speaking and said softly to Ning Feng, who was deep in thought:
"Alright, let's go, Ning Feng."
Yan Rulong's expression remained unchanged; he gestured for Ning Feng to leave with his eyes.
"Let's go find your teammates."
"I have other things to take care of, so I won't be able to go with you."
After saying that, he lowered his head and picked up the documents on the table again, silently reading them.
Is this really the end?
Ning Feng felt that Yan Rulong seemed to be hiding something, but at this moment he did not press the matter further and chose to listen.
Ning Feng immediately stood up and silently walked towards the door. Just as he was about to leave, he turned back and said:
“Dr. Xi Lin gave me a tool, and I’ve done a lot of things with it.”
This statement is not a lie.
Without the secret runes and legendary magic that Shirin gave Ning Feng, there are many things Ning Feng wouldn't have been able to do.
Ning Feng didn't know why he said those words at this moment.
Is she trying to defend herself? Is she trying to prove that she hasn't changed?
But Yan Rulong didn't care about Ning Feng's explanation. He raised his head, shook his head at him, and said:
Let's go.
"……clear."
Clang.
As Yan Rulong looked at the closed door, his expression gradually changed.
Setting down the pretentious documents, Yan Rulong leaned back in his chair, looking up at the ceiling.
After a moment of silence, he turned off the office lights and covered his face with his coat in the darkness.
There was no sound left in the room.
...
...
Walking silently, Ning Feng didn't look back, unaware of what happened after he left.
"He didn't ask..."
Yan Rulong never mentioned anything related to Li Tiandu from beginning to end.
Perhaps Yan Rulong knew, or perhaps he didn't.
But in the end, he didn't say anything.
However, Ning Feng noticed a detail.
One of the photo frames on Yan Rulong's desk was knocked over.
Ning Feng remembered that one...
That was the only photo of Yan Rulong and Li Tiandu together.
"...We are always losing."
