"Hmm~"
Xilin lay sprawled on Ning Feng, lazily hugging his waist from the side and burying her face in his body.
Ning Feng slid his left hand across the tablet, while his right hand made way for Xilin and landed on her, his fingertips gently brushing through her hair.
Everything inside the carriage seemed peaceful and serene. Shirin's initial excitement gradually subsided, and she slowly drifted off to sleep.
After realizing that Xilin had fallen asleep, Ning Feng did not make any sudden movements, but his hand movements became even gentler.
With his fingers moving silently, Ning Feng flipped through the pages quickly, rapidly absorbing information from the tablet's database.
But this speed was not Ning Feng's limit, because he was multitasking and thinking about how to proceed.
"Considering the worst-case scenario, how will the people in the shadows react after they learn that Shirin has returned?"
When considering such matters, Ning Feng was never an optimistic person; he was used to starting by considering the worst-case scenario.
Even considering the worst-case scenario, the crisis is not yet beyond repair.
The main problem was that Ning Feng made a decision too quickly; after considering that possibility, he immediately chose to take action.
"We reacted very quickly. Even if the other side were to take immediate action, it would only be the beginning of something, and most likely it hasn't even been implemented yet."
The other party would definitely not make any rash moves when Xilin is around; otherwise, everything would be clear as soon as she came forward to explain.
The other party will only choose to promote their message when Xilin is not around, so that once the deed is done, it will be difficult for her to explain herself.
"However, Shirin spent some time with her friends, giving them more time to think, otherwise the situation would have been easier to resolve."
As for whether Ning Feng is neurotic or trying to outwit himself... he can say for sure that he isn't.
As his abilities continued to improve, Ning Feng became increasingly sensitive to the malice of others, developing an almost intuitive perception.
Secretly, someone was indeed setting a trap for Shirin, and the closer they got to headquarters, the stronger the feeling became.
This place would have become the center of a storm vortex, but he could smell a faint, disordered odor in the air.
Silently turning his head, Ning Feng gazed at the dazzling scene outside the carriage, his eyes growing increasingly profound.
"Aren't you curious? Why did she suddenly come back?"
"Aren't you all confused now? What strange things might she do?"
Sensing the chaotic atmosphere, Ning Feng laughed silently, revealing his white teeth.
"You'd better be able to hold back."
...
【Hmm~】
Inside the cabin, Ariana was in a good mood, humming an unknown tune through her nose, continuously singing a song.
Oh dear, the little guy has grown up; he knows how to stand up for his own people now.
Turning her head, she looked at the angel standing in the corner with his back to her, her eyes full of smiles:
Don't you think so, Little Leah?
"…………"
Cecilia, with her back to him, remained silent, not even uttering a sound, seemingly absorbed in her own world and completely oblivious to the demon's question.
Oh ho?
After thinking for a moment, she understood why Cecilia was reacting, but this time Ariana didn't tease her and let Cecilia off the hook.
【I'm in a good mood today, so I won't let you feel bad~】
The angel was still immersed in his previous conversation with Ning Feng, and the demon was no different, huh?
Are they a good match?
Her eyes narrowed into slits with laughter as she played with her tail, smiling contentedly:
Yes, they are a perfect match.
...
...
Upon arriving at the Watchers' headquarters, Ning Feng hadn't even had a chance to fully appreciate its grandeur before he and Xilin were invited away by servants who were already waiting there.
They weren't from the Watchers, but subordinates of Shirin's friends, who had been waiting here ever since they received the news.
This was part of the plan, so Ning Feng didn't refuse and followed the servants with Xilin, whose face clearly said, "I don't want to go!"
A short time later, Ning Feng met Xilin's friends.
"…………"
Ning Feng had assumed that Shirin's friend would be someone with the same long-lived bloodline as her, or at least someone with dwarven bloodline.
But he never expected that her friend would be like this.
The two women looked similar, both being elderly women with full heads of silver hair.
Sang and Jane, twin top-tier fourth-order alchemists.
The three of them, Xilin and Xilin, stood together, with Xilin looking more like their granddaughter than a friend, creating a strong contrast.
However, despite his aged appearance, one could sense the strong vitality within him, which made him seem much stronger than he appeared.
These two are not legends, but they are definitely top-tier among fourth-tier individuals.
and……
Very energetic.
"Shirin, you're back to see us again! Come, come, our women's gathering is still going on, come in quickly."
No, I don't want to!
With her face full of resistance, Xilin pitifully turned her head to look at Ning Feng, who was standing behind her watching all this in astonishment.
Say something!
Why are you just staring?!
"Oh? Why are you being so polite? You've already come all this way, why bring a gift?"
A gift? What gift?
Ning Feng paused for a moment, then suddenly realized...
"This little guy is my type, come and let your big sister take a look..."
