"The Little Crocodile still hasn’t returned, nor responded. Could sothing have happened?"
Inside the Special Duty Team, Feng Yuan, holding Xiao Ji, was helping Liao Yu and the others with interrogation and data organization. Although he had a faster and simpler way to figure everything out, this matter concerned Great Xia, and it was most appropriate to follow the original rules. It might be slower, but it conford to procedures, leaving no room for criticism.
At this mont, Feng Yuan understood why those legendary-level Beastmasters could do such a thing. After all, Beastmasters of this caliber usually wouldn’t stoop for such profits, as it could affect their relationship with their beasts, sotis even causing a rift between them. Unfortunately, this unexpected incident was too severe.
The wild survival environnt of Wild Spirit Beasts across the entire Divine Land Region was rapidly deteriorating. In such tis, capturing them for trade with more reliable Beastmasters, although sowhat discomforting for those ta beasts, was at least sowhat understandable.
Moreover, this operation was a joint effort by legendary-level ordinary Beastmasters hidden in the dark in Great Xia. They directly monopolized rare Spirit Beast resources. Through this monopoly, they were able to exchange trade items from Great Xia currency to Spiritual dicine and Spirit Materials. Although it was still insufficient to et their needs, it was better than nothing.
These individuals, although possessing legendary-level Beastmaster prowess, were at the bottom tier. However, Feng Yuan could understand this, considering even the Elder Council wasn’t too worried about it. Though other regions would surely limit their actions, they couldn’t stop them from seeking Spiritual dicine and Materials elsewhere.
Moreover, reaching this level ant they couldn’t limit themselves to one area when searching for Spiritual dicine and Materials, so the restrictions imposed by different regions were not significant, as long as they didn’t aim for wholesale.
Though Feng Yuan accompanied Qi Chen and the others once to "wholesale" Spiritual dicine and Materials, those resources were essentially considered a reward, so no one really objected to it.
After organizing the last report, Feng Yuan stretched and said,
"Phew~ It’s already eleven o’clock. You all really are hardworking~"
"Sigh, we’re used to it. But to think it involves so many cities, handling it won’t be easy. Take Shangling City, for instance, they weren’t part of the joint action earlier, and now they definitely have to be urgently deployed, which is really troubleso."
Liao Yu sighed, looking at the gathered crucial information. Although there might still be omissions, these highly trusted cities must be imdiately notified to mobilize.
Although their Maomu City also abruptly carried out this joint operation, in reality, high-level officials everywhere had been secretly planning for so ti. Still, everyone hadn’t expected that what they initially uncovered was just the tip of the iceberg.
In human form, Veronia took out a folding fan, fanning herself, suddenly thinking of sothing to say to Feng Yuan.
"I’m going to find Gitalien, no need to look for ."
"What are you looking for Gitalien for?"
Feng Yuan asked in confusion, glancing at Veronia. Was there so urgent matter requiring Gitalien’s help? However, Veronia didn’t explain and quickly left. Shaking his head, Feng Yuan picked up Xiao Ji sitting on the table watching him and said,
"Never mind, do you all offer late-night snacks? After working so long, I’m a bit hungry."
"Of course, and it’s sothing good~"
Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Liao Yu perked up imdiately, but before he could tease Feng Yuan, Ye Hanlei handed Feng Yuan a hot drink, saying,
"The dishes from Jufu Tower will be delivered soon. If you need anything else, you can tell Captain Chen, and he’ll notify them to prepare it quickly."
"Jufu Tower? You all live so lavishly?"
Feng Yuan said in surprise, blinking. The food from Jufu Tower was undoubtedly delicious but pricey, of course. Compared to Qi Chen and the others, though, for the Special Duty Team’s salary, it wasn’t unaffordable. But hearing this, it seed like a Special Duty Team perk?
"Lavish? If possible, I wouldn’t want to work overti miserably yet enjoy late-night snacks from Jufu Tower. Isn’t watching a movie with others better?"
Wailing, Liao Yu aningfully glanced at Ye Hanlei, who rolled her eyes at Liao Yu and said,
"Don’t make it sound like Captain Chen and the others enjoy it very much. The expense isn’t low, you know."
"But without such a big operation, we wouldn’t indulge this way."
Seemingly afraid Feng Yuan would misunderstand, Ye Hanlei explained to him, to which he chuckled and said,
"I can understand that. If you were like this all the ti, I’d suspect when the higher-ups might start auditing your Special Duty Team."
"After the late-night snack, let Liao Yu take you back. At this point, public transportation might have stopped running."
Picking up the information, Ye Hanlei said to Feng Yuan. Though he was an external mber of the Special Duty Team, they couldn’t possibly let Feng Yuan stay up all night handling this matter.
Feng Yuan shrugged and said,
"Am I not welco here? Anyway, school hasn’t started yet, so I’m quite free. Besides, going back now might disturb their rest, especially Qi Chen. Tsk, I wonder if he’ll rush to the hospital to see Dou Yanlan."
"Aren’t you going to see her?"
Eyeing Feng Yuan curiously, Ye Hanlei asked, though Dou Yanlan wasn’t seriously injured. Yet, after all, the squad still struggled a lot against legendary-level Beastmasters. After this, Feng Yuan’s strength rating might be upgraded to legendary-level, right?
While Ye Hanlei pondered this, she suddenly realized Feng Yuan’s age. Though there were legendary-level Beastmasters his age or even younger, they arose due to various accidents, whereas Feng Yuan...
Could sothing major be happening again, hence the ergence of such a young genius? But upon reflection, Feng Yuan didn’t seem to fit that profile. Although similar in age to those young geniuses, those geniuses largely relied on the help of Divine Beasts.
But Feng Yuan? From their understanding and contact, the other party communicated equally with the Divine Beasts. Could it be he was an undisguised Divine Beast blending in with humans?
Ye Hanlei quickly discarded such a ridiculous notion. While Divine Beasts liked to play around, none would be so bored as to spend years disguising as humans just to live as one.
"Why do I feel your gaze is odd? Aren’t you handing in the files?"
Feng Yuan asked, puzzled, observing Ye Hanlei. Startled, she awkwardly smiled and hastily ran off with the files. Huo Feng, looking at Feng Yuan strangely, said,
"Do you really not care about your friend’s condition?"
"What’s there to worry about? Even if seriously injured, there’s a way to heal her. Don’t forget, the relationship between Xiao Ji and Nagna isn’t bad. If need be, we can ask them to find Nagna to help with the treatnt."
Feng Yuan wasn’t concerned about it, for it was the perfect chance for Dou Yanlan’s family to truly reconcile. He didn’t want to interfere. However, whether Qi Chen would impulsively rush over was unknown to him. Although Qi Xiaoshuang inquired about Dou Yanlan’s situation through him, he doubted Qi Xiaoshuang could obscure the truth.
"Brother, aren’t you resting yet? I’ve already told you, now is a good opportunity for Sister Yanlan and her father to reconcile. You going over now might not be wise."
Holding the Little White Shadow Wolf, Qi Xiaoshuang yawned and said helplessly. Sitting on the sofa, Qi Chen, holding a tray of flowers, looked anxious. He had sensed sothing was wrong through his regular calls with Dou Yanlan, which was why he’d asked Qi Xiaoshuang to seek information from Feng Yuan. As for why he didn’t ask himself?
Knowing Feng Yuan, if he knew about it, he’d surely tease Qi Chen. He didn’t want to go in circles with Feng Yuan.
"Honestly, why are you so sharp this ti in such a matter?"
Sighing, Qi Xiaoshuang couldn’t help but complain. Usually, Qi Chen seed not too clever, yet today he’s so impressive. He could sense sothing was off just from a regular call. After all, it was with Dou Yanlan, who’d definitely try to hide it.
Considering Dou Yanlan’s abilities, Qi Chen shouldn’t have noticed anything amiss. Puzzled, Qi Xiaoshuang grudgingly told Qi Chen to rest early and returned to her room with the Little White Shadow Wolf. It was late, and she needed her rest.
