Five tickets, Yang Chen couldn't help but smile wryly.
Three from ng Po's group, plus him makes four, Ye Xin bought five tickets, clearly intending to follow along.
Yang Chen initially wanted to refuse, but seeing Ye Xin's determined gaze, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Alright then!" Yang Chen reluctantly agreed, "But you must follow my orders, don't act rashly, got it?"
"Understood, sir!" Ye Xin chuckled, saluting Yang Chen.
Yang Chen felt helpless, ruffling Ye Xin's hair, then turned and left.
The current Ye Xin was no longer the sa as before, her cultivation almost equaled Yang Chen's, fighting between the two would be pretty evenly matched. Going to Lijia Continent was dangerous, but not to the point of threatening their lives.
...
Dragon Tooth Base.
Mastiff was called over by Jian Feng as soon as he returned to the base.
"Why did you co back?" Jian Feng asked, puzzled.
Soone always had to stay beside Yang Chen for communication convenience, if sothing happened, no one would know.
Mastiff replied, "I didn't want to co back either, but the boss ordered back, I had no choice."
"Ordered you?" Jian Feng frowned deeply.
"I ca back to report this, Yang Chen told to relay to you that he's going to Lijia Continent, but as for detailed reasons, we shouldn't ask, nor would he tell us. Additionally, he said for you to ensure training while carrying out missions, and he'll review the results once back." Mastiff explained.
Hearing this, Jian Feng stood up abruptly, staring at Mastiff, "You an, the boss is going to Lijia Continent?"
"Yes!" Mastiff nodded.
Jian Feng's face suddenly sank.
He knew about the Asura Hall issue, Asura Hall was on Lijia Continent, now Yang Chen still had other missions, yet urgently returned, it had to be because there's trouble with Asura Hall!
Thinking this, Jian Feng imdiately packed his things, preparing to find Yang Chen.
Mastiff asked anxiously, "What's going on? What's the boss really going to do? What does this an? Where are you going?"
Mastiff felt sothing was off, becoming a bit anxious.
"Don't worry about it!" Jian Feng glanced at Mastiff and responded coldly.
"How can I not? We're all brothers, if we're told not to worry about everything, then do you even consider Dragon Tooth brothers? If everyone solves things on their own, what use is Dragon Tooth? Might as well disband!" Mastiff grew anxious.
Yang Chen already announced his retirent, not wanting to implicate Dragon Tooth, so it's understandable he keeps things secret.
But even Mastiff acted this way, which made Mastiff really angry.
If Yang Chen faces trouble, he absolutely wouldn't stand by, and neither would the rest of Dragon Tooth Squad.
Currently, Mastiff felt Jian Feng clearly knew sothing yet didn't reveal it, which was selfish!
Jian Feng paused, surprised at Mastiff, frowned.
After hesitating for a while, Jian Feng sighed, "Forget it, I can't say anything! It's confidential, and the boss definitely won't agree to you all going, I'll handle it myself, I'll risk my life to protect the boss, don't worry! I'll bring the boss back! You guys just investigate this mission, it's directly appointed by the old chief, very important to the boss, we must balance everything correctly."
"But…" Mastiff struggled to refute, still worried if Jian Feng could manage alone.
"Go tell Night Fire, handle the affairs here, Lijia Continent's matters I'll take on." Jian Feng took his belongings, speaking to Mastiff firmly.
Saying that, Jian Feng strode out, drove down the mountain.
Mastiff watched Jian Feng's car disappear into the forest, stood for a while, then went to find Night Fire.
"What?" Night Fire heard Mastiff say Jian Feng went to find Yang Chen, and might head to Lijia Continent, imdiately setting down his docunts.
"Are you sure?" Night Fire pressed Mastiff.
Mastiff sighed, nodded, "Sure, he told the boss's matters he'll handle, ho matters you handle, ensure tasks and training, the boss will check results when back."
Night Fire frowned.
"By the way!" Mastiff suddenly rembered, "Jian Feng also said the mission was directly arranged by the old chief, very important for the boss, we must investigate thoroughly!"
Night Fire nodded, replied seriously, "Understood! This Jian Feng…"
Initially Night Fire wanted to say more but in the end just sighed, resigned, "Fine, let him be, go and work with others to gather information, investigate everyone involved in this case thoroughly."
"Yes!" Mastiff nodded and went inside.
Night Fire frowned, watched the window, sighing, "This Jian Feng surely… must protect the boss!"
...
Artificial sea.
Zhou Qinghe approached the old chief, whispering, "Old chief, news said Ye Xin and Yang Chen booked five tickets to Lijia Continent, should we…"
The old chief set down his pen, looking at Zhou Qinghe, frowning, "They're going to Lijia Continent?"
"Yes! I've checked the registration records, it's confird." Zhou Qinghe confird.
The old chief stood up imdiately, walked to the window, looking outside, brow furrowing.
"You…" The old chief opened his mouth but stopped, seeming indecisive.
Zhou Qinghe quickly approached, bowed waiting for instructions.
The old chief began speaking but reconsidered, thinking before saying, "Forget it, you can leave!"
Clearly, the old chief abandoned certain plans.
"Yes…" Zhou Qinghe glanced deeply at the old chief, surprised by his silence, finding it odd.
But Zhou Qinghe's role was to assist the old chief, ultimately just a secretary, without questioning authority.
Imdiately, Zhou Qinghe withdrew.
The old chief stood by the window, brow furrowed, "Yang Chen, oh Yang Chen, at this ti, what do you plan to do in Lijia Continent?"
Thinking it over, the old chief commanded, "Send people to Lijia Continent, closely monitor Yang Chen's actions, report all their moves, I must know their mission's purpose there!"
"Understood!" A voice erged from the corner.
The old chief sat down, calling the major leader, "Major leader, I've approved Yang Chen's request to investigate everyone, but with one condition, any problematic personnel among them, I need all related details, it's ti for a clean-up!"
"Understood!" The major leader jolted, quickly responding.
He knew the old chief likely planned action against so internal figures.
"Also, arrange that the strategic team activate, strictly screen all mbers, no impurities allowed!" The old chief ordered coldly.
"Understood!" The major leader answered firmly.
