Hearing these words, Pei Yan outwardly smiled nonchalantly, but inwardly he was thrilled. The desire to compete and win is sothing everyone has. Although the recent training had made him much steadier, deep down, he was still that spirited young man just shy of twenty.
Watching Pei Yan, who was seated and feigning depth with modest words, Pei Jin ca up with a plate of fruit, snatched the cigarette from his mouth, extinguished it, and placed the fruit on the dining table, exposing his thoughts with a single remark: "Saying you can't compare, but you're secretly thrilled inside, aren't you? You've been lying down for so long, get up and stop smoking, eat so more fruit!"
In front of his older sister, Pei Yan could only comply. He picked up an apple and listened as Zhao Yuanhu, who ca along with his sister, spoke: "While you were in a coma, Sifuer sent several groups to visit, but we blocked them all. Just a few days ago, the Demon Races outside our manor started fighting among themselves."
"Huh?" Pei Yan raised an eyebrow in confusion while chewing on the apple: "What's going on?"
Beside him, Jiang Feiyang took up the topic: "A while back, a delegation from the Holy City arrived from the Demon Race, wanting to take over military command. But that old man Samikina wouldn't allow it! Both sides had a spat, but how it got handled internally, we don't know. Later, the delegation tried several tis to et you or Gu Chu, but Elder Lin refused them all. Just a few days ago, soone tried sneaking into the manor to spy. They hadn't even entered our surveillance range before Sifuer's ambushers outside the manor caught wind of them. Turns out, it was the delegation, which led to both sides fighting outside the manor."
"Pfft! Who won?" Pei Yan, engrossed in the story, spat out the apple seed and, tossing the core into the trash can, clapped his hands and asked.
Picking up a fruit, a specialty of the Demon Race, which he hesitated over before finally taking a bite, Hu Wenjun nodded approvingly and said, "This fruit is quite sweet! You ask about the outco? Sifuer's side suffered a little because the opponents had more experts, but they later brought in a large army, and with numbers on their side, the other party retreated."
"How many people are in this delegation? What's their deal?" Pei Yan, now intrigued, leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs, asking.
Hu Wenjun glanced at Jiang Feiyang, this always-curious fellow, and chuckled: "You've got the right person to ask. The top figures of this delegation, I'm not sure about, but just the elite troops of the Demon Race, excluding the Vassal Army, number three thousand. What's their origin? I haven't figured that out, but I heard from the soldiers Sifuer sent to guard our periphery, these folks didn't get along with Sifuer's faction, wanting to wrest power the mont they arrived. However, Samikina's two factions just had a major victory and are steeling public and military confidence, so they didn't succeed! Now, the three thousand are stationed outside the town, forming their enclave, not interacting with Sifuer's forces inside the town. I don't know what sche they're plotting!"
Pei Yan scratched his head, troubled, and asked, "So, what's their attitude towards us?"
"We haven't interacted, so I don't know, but with such great achievents and outstanding strength displayed, from any angle, we're quite the desired partner!" Zhao Yuanhu interjected.
Hu Wenjun nodded in agreent: "Indeed, they've been wanting to et us. How about we inform Elder Lin and Old i to arrange a et with them?"
"We definitely should et them. After all, the delegation ca from the Holy City, and eting with them could give us insights into the Holy City's position. However, since we first allied with Sifuer and their clear animosity towards her has been shown, it wouldn't be right to et them without her. Let's wait for Xie Chu to return from the Foundation Plane, discuss thoroughly, and then inform Sifuer so we can have the first eting when all three parties are present," Pei Yan drumd his fingers on the armrest, planning.
Hu Wenjun showed a gratified smile upon hearing this: "You're really much more mature than when you joined the Investigations Office. Let's proceed as you said, I'll report to Elder Lin."
Jiang Feiyang, seeing the two had made a decision, slamd the table and proposed: "Since that enigmatic Xie Chu went to report to the Investigations Office after you woke up, given the ti difference between the two planes, who knows when he'll return? We've been holding our positions while you were in a coma. Captain Hu, along with Old Peng and Xiaoxue, had it even worse, planted in this manor in Hell Plane without leaving a step. Now that you're awake, can we take a stroll?"
"Did Buli also co? What about Old Qi, did he co too? How are the two of them?" Pei Yan's eyes lit up as he thought of the only confird couple in the team.
"How they're doing is none of your business! They're good, you can't ss that up! Just say if it's okay or not!" Jiang Feiyang rolled his eyes, speaking in a bad mood.
Pei Yan looked helplessly towards Old Hu, and Hu Wenjun, seeing this, coughed drily and said: "It might not be a good idea; you make the call!"
Seeing Instructor Hu passing the ball back to him again, Pei Yan thought about the Investigations Office's current status among the Demon Race. No one should dare make trouble, but still cautious, he said: "Let's go for a walk, but stay safe, no splitting up, move in groups, everyone must carry my locator, and you're only allowed to move within the sanctuary town, no going beyond that range."
"Alright! Alright! We got it, Teacher Pei!" Jiang Feiyang said, pulling out his phone from the interspatial ring and tossing it on the table: "Co on, modify the phone for . I want to take so photos of Hell Plane's scenery for mory and promote it when we get back. I have no idea what kind of weird place this is; all high-tech gadgets here quit working except those covered by abilities! Fix it for , quickly!"
His words piqued the interest of the others too. It's not every day you visit an alternate plane; who wouldn't want to keep a nto? They all took out their phones requesting modifications, seeing this, Pei Yan infused his ability into each one while shaking his head with a bitter smile: "Never thought I'd use my ability to fix phones."
"You've even used it to hack ATMs! Don't worry, if the Investigations Office ever disbands, you won't starve with your appliance repair skills!" Jiang Feiyang laughed, pocketed the phone imbued with abilities, grabbed Peng Lang, and the two of them whispered to each other as they rushed downstairs.
Before long, the once tightly shut doors of the Investigations Office slowly opened, and groups of Investigations Office mbers, attired uniformly distinct from the presence of the Demon Race, ca out chatting and laughing, instantly drawing the attention of multiple forces.
In the darkness, shadowy figures abandoned their original surveillance posts, rushing to convey this crucial information to their masters.
In the new mansion of the Kataraga Autonomous Territory's lord, Sifuer, feeling insufficient in strength to face the upcoming situation, was undergoing special training in the training room, executed by her uncle Bailang and her granduncle Fritz Samikina. Having been corrected once again by her uncle for her mistakes in moves, she was allowed to take a break when the training hall doors were pushed open.
