Before leaving, Ling Mo made a trip to see Yuwen Xuan.
These past few days, people at the second campsite had beco quite familiar with him. Along the way, not only did no one stop him, but many even paused to warmly greet him.
Hey Ling Mo.
Good morning, Ling Mo
Morning my foot, its already noon. Heh heh, have you eaten yet, Ling Mo?
At first, Ling Mo responded with a few words, but soon realized he was alone and outnumbered. By the ti he got through, his mouth was almost dry, so he simply smiled and nodded, which saved him quite a bit of saliva
Although the second campsite was nominally still under Falcon Camps territory, in the eyes of these new and old mbers, their real boss was actually the Commanding Officer, Yuwen Xuan.
And the Falcon? Too far away to be of their concern
Even the presence of Su Qianrou hadnt changed this situation.
As for Ling Mo? He wasnt just Yuwen Xuans brother-in-law; his na was often on Yuwen Xuans lips, making it clear to everyone that although Ling Mo wasnt a Falcon mber, in this second campsite, he was the true boss. Even Yuwen Xuan had to listen to him.
Zhang Yu didnt seem to take Ling Mo seriously, but he couldnt stop his own boss from consistently showing favor to Ling Mo
For crying out loud! Useless as a lump of mud! You sis-con! No brother-in-law-con!
After several unsuccessful struggles, Zhang Yu gave up and focused on competing with Su Qianrou instead.
So, just for that reason alone, those mbers would take the initiative to curry favor with him.
Not to ntion the group of Falcon mbers who ca with Yuwen Xuan. In private, they unanimously believed that taking down the Air Force Corps was almost entirely Ling Mos doing.
They might not have known the details, but they understood that they were just there to take over.
Anyone daring to claim the victory over the Air Force Corps would be spat in the face by these people.
You took it down? Did you even fire a shot? Do you have the nerve to say it?
Although a few thought Ling Mo was riding Yuwen Xuans coattails, most understood that it was actually Yuwen Xuan who was benefiting from Ling Mo.
However, those from the old Air Force Corps acted sowhat strangely
Upon learning that this young man was the notorious Ling Mo, who caused turmoil within the Air Force Corps, so revered him to death, and there were even those who ca just to watch and pester him.
Hey Ling Mo! Just between us, Im actually a regular survivor who joined the Air Force Corps three months ago. I have nothing to do with the chase after you! Plus, I really admire you. Could you tell how you took down those two planes?
A few old Air Force Corps mbers followed Ling Mo, incessantly asking questions.
I heard you threw bullets with your bare hands and blew up a building on the spot, is that true? another asked.
Are those still bullets?
You dont know squat about a Psychics powers!
Damn! Youre a Psychic too, throw one for to see?
These people were everywhere, pestering Ling Mo to the point of no peace. In the end, it took the heavy artillery of Little Witch Shana to scare these folks off from getting too close.
So people held Ling Mo in high esteem but kept a respectful distance, their reasoning was sothing Ling Mo didnt bother to guesshe didnt plan on sticking around here anyway
He maintained a smile throughout the journey, until his face almost stiffened, finally breaking through the crowd to reach Yuwen Xuans office.
Upon pushing open the door, to his surprise, there was Yuwen Xuan, enthusiastically playing chess with Tom
Busy, busy, if you need sothing, go find Zhang Yu, Yuwen Xuan said without looking up from his seat, his back to Ling Mo, as he heard the door open.
Tom looked up, flashed a smile at Ling Mo, and then jokingly kicked out, Commanding Officer, your brother-in-law!
Damn! Your brother-in-law! And now were resorting to insults, huh? Believe it or not, Ill have you cleaning toilets as punishnt! Do you believe it? Yuwen Xuan roared back with feigned anger.
What is this, a schoolteacher moonlighting over here Tom grimaced and then, deciding to ignore it, waved at Ling Mo, Hey there, Ling Mo.
Heh, seems like you guys are in high spirits
Ling Mo had barely spoken when a pfft sound erupted, clearly Yuwen Xuan had choked
In a rush, Yuwen Xuan turned his head, Ahahaha, oh, it really is the brother-in-law I didnt an that
Forget it. Ling Mo took a seat where Tom had made room, and the big guy went off to drag another chair over.
I havent seen you around these past few days, how did it go? Yuwen Xuan inquired.
Not bad, Ling Mo replied, though his words belied his true feelings.
It wasnt just not bad; in reality, he had packed up anything and everything he could use from the second campsite
Because there was too much stuff, he had even been forced to painfully discard so non-essential items.
So youre leaving? Yuwen Xuan might act crazy, but he was quick on the uptake. Ling Mo had been out of sight these past days, and now he showed up unexpectedlyit had to be for a particular reason.
What else could it be but leaving?
Yep, Ling Mo nodded, Ive been delayed here long enough.
Consider it a rest Tom interjected, while constantly shooting aningful glances at Yuwen Xuan.
It was only right that Yuwen Xuan be the one to ask Ling Mo to stay, both emotionally and logically.
Unfortunately, despite almost blinking his eyes out, Toms signals were missed by Yuwen Xuan.
Ahahaha Oh. Yuwen Xuan said.
Darn it!! Were not even on the sa wavelength here! Tom rubbed his eyes, cursing inwardly.
Just a mont Yuwen Xuan pondered briefly, then suddenly flipped up from his seat.
Never one to forget his abilities, Yuwen Xuan moved so fast that all Ling Mo and Tom saw was a flash of fire behind him, and then he was sprawled across the table, reaching into a drawer in this bizarre manner.
Though the action was indelicate, the speed and accuracy were impressive. However, a wisp of black smoke rising from his backside was undeniably odd
Like the sunlight on an incense burner producing purple smoke Tom suddenly mused.
Have so common sense Apologize to the Poet Immortal! Ling Mo couldnt help but retort.
I just recited a line or two, dont be so harsh Tom pouted, feigning innocence.
Ling Mo averted his gaze uneasily and suggested, I strongly advise that you keep your distance from the madman Xuan
Here, this thing
Yuwen Xuan quickly bounced back, handing a brand-new Communicator to Ling Mo: Call if you need anything. Especially for good things like this one, the more the rrier
What do you think I do Ling Mo said.
Eh? Arent you a full-ti robber? Yuwen Xuan exclaid in surprise, The two tis Ive seen you, you were just heading out to rob
Lets not dredge up the past Ling Mo declined the Communicator, Ive got one on .
Where did you get it from? Your previous one couldnt even reach this second base! Yuwen Xuan pointed out.
The Falcons gadget was made for It can connect here too, dont worry.
Whos the gadget? Tom interjected.
Ling Mo suddenly felt a headache coming on and quickly steered the conversation back on track: Right, I need a helicopter. Im going back to City X with a few people from the Falcon group tomorrow.
Even the fastest mbers of Niepan wouldnt be able to reach the new base of the Falcon group so quickly; Ling Mo wasnt in a rush.
Well Yuwen Xuan suddenly leaned in, shalessly saying with a sly smile, Brother-in-law, could you do a favor? Just a small one on the way!
What is it? Ling Mo imdiately had a bad feeling; this guy was really good at taking advantage of situations!
Hehe
Yuwen Xuan grinned shalessly.
A few minutes later, a man with a crew cut pushed the door open and snapped to attention with a pop, saluting crisply.
Good day, Commanding Officer! Good day, Instructor Tom!
His voice was crisp, and his eyes were spirited, but Ling Mo noticed that the man didnt even glance at him.
Not a look, let alone a greeting.
Co here, let introduce you. This is the man who will be joining you on your mission, a pilot nad Huang Duo. Co on, Duo
As soon as Yuwen Xuan beckoned him, two dark lines imdiately appeared on Huang Duos previously stern face: Commanding Officer
Duo, this is my brother-in-law Ling Mo. Youll be responsible for escorting him and the remaining mbers of the Falcon group to City X. Along the way, hell help you gather so fuel. Weve been consuming too much lately; if we dont find a way to replenish it, you guys might be out of a job, Yuwen Xuan explained.
Only then did Huang Duo turn his gaze to Ling Mo, saying loudly, Please advise!
Hey, hey Ling Mo winced as his eardrums vibrated painfully from the shout. Was that volu really necessary?
And the look in this mans eyes it seed like he was sowhat displeased with him
Since he was a pilot, he must be a mber of the Air Force Corps.
There were definitely old mbers who had reservations about Ling Mo, but there was no reason for displeasure
After all, Ling Mo had no quarrels or grudges with them
Hello, Ling Mo said.
But Huang Duo had already turned back to Yuwen Xuan: May I ask who will be commanding this operation?
Huh? Yuwen Xuan was taken aback, then responded, Do you need to ask? Of course, its my brother-in-law!
Pfft!
Tom nearly choked on his own breath, standing aside in disbelief. It seed that only Yuwen Xuan could be so brazenly self-serving in the entire Falcon organization.
Huang Duo hadnt expected Yuwen Xuan to be so blunt. He probably had a whole spiel prepared, but it was all redundant now.
The mans face turned red with frustration as he struggled for a mont, then turned to Ling Mo: Then, I must ask for your assistance!
Its Captain Yuwen Xuan reminded him.
Huang Duo was in utter despair, Captain!
Off you go, then. Get your two buddies ready, we set off early tomorrow morning. Yuwen Xuan waved him off, dismissing him from the office.
From behind, Tom added, And rember to follow orders!
Huang Duos steps faltered just as he was leaving the office, his shoulders twitched, and then he hurried away.
That guys a skilled pilot and hes done plenty of recon missions too. He wont be holding you back, right? Yuwen Xuan turned around with a mischievous grin.
Ling Mo leaned forward, spreading his hands: What about my compensation?
What compensation? Yuwen Xuan blinked, feigning ignorance, You ran off with my sister, and youre still asking for compensation
Is that so? Oh, Yalin, youre here too
No, no, no! Just tell what you want Yuwen Xuans face was suddenly streaked with tears.
