Chapter 71: Purity is her most powerful weapon.

"Stop looking, they've already disappeared."

At that moment, a cold, undisguised, mocking voice rang out from the side.

Angel crossed her arms, glanced sideways at the somewhat dazed Yan, and curled a cold, indifferent smile at the corner of her mouth.

"What's wrong? Our left-wing guard, Thunder God of War, has been bewitched by a young male god and forgotten his duties? He just watched him leave like a little wife who was abandoned."

These words were as sharp as an ice pick, instantly piercing the inexplicable emotions in Yan's heart and igniting her anger.

"Cold! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Yan suddenly turned around, lightning flashing in his azure eyes.

"I'm thinking about the dangers they might encounter going out at this time! After all, the devil has his eye on them!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

He scoffed coldly, clearly not believing in this official rhetoric.

"Does thinking require that anxious, longing expression? Does it mean you can't even bother to arrange things for new colleagues?"

Her gaze swept meaningfully over Zhi Xin, whose cheeks were still slightly flushed, but whose eyes looked curiously toward the doorway.

"I...

Yan was speechless for a moment, her face slightly flushed, but more than that, she felt angry at being seen through and provoked.

Seeing this, A-Zhui quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Sister Yan, Sister Leng, let's all keep quiet. Since our idol has something to do, he must have his own plans. Let's follow Sister Yan's arrangements and settle down."

She quietly tugged at Leng's arm, signaling her not to go too far.

Zhi Xin also spoke cautiously, her voice soft: "Sister Yan, have we caused you any trouble?"

"It's none of your business."

Yan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her turbulent emotions, and regained her usual cool and aloof expression.

However, a trace of barely perceptible irritation still lingered between his brows and eyes.

"There are still empty rooms on the second floor of the villa; you can choose whichever you like. If you have any questions, you can contact me, or..."

She paused, glancing at He Xi, who sat leisurely on the sofa, watching the show with a smile, "Or ask King Tianji."

"Oh dear, you've finally remembered this old man?"

He Xi took a sip of tea, her smile delighted. "Go ahead and rest assured, Yan. I'll take good care of these new girls for you."

Upon hearing this, Yan's previously slightly tense and delicate face instantly relaxed considerably.

"Thank you for your help."

After saying that, she spread her wings and chased after Su Yi and the other person in the direction they had left.

He Xi watched her departing figure, a deep light flashing in his eyes.

With Yan included, we should be able to handle it, right?

Just as He Xi was thinking, Zhi Xin tugged at He Xi's sleeve weakly.

"teacher.

"

Her voice carried a hint of longing and hesitation.

"Can I come along too? I'm a little worried about my crush. Besides, I can help out!"

Zhi Xin looked at He Xi with her large, clear eyes, as clear as a lake, filled with pleading and a little bit of the fearless courage of a newborn calf.

He Xi turned her head and looked at her simple-minded, upright, and somewhat stubborn student, and couldn't help but chuckle.

She stretched out her slender fingers and gently tapped Zhi Xin's smooth forehead, a gesture filled with affection and doting.

"Silly girl~"

He Xi's voice was gentle, carrying the unique reproach and indulgence of a teacher.

"You think they went out for a picnic in the middle of the night? That's no joke! You've only just arrived on Earth, and you don't understand the complexities here yet."

She withdrew her hand, picked up the teacup, and slowly took a sip, her eyes becoming distant and profound.

"That kid Su Yi, he looks all smiles, but he's got a lot on his mind. He chose this time, and only took Hannibal out—he's really something."

He must have had his own calculations and preparations.

"Perhaps we'll be facing some old friends who aren't very reasonable."

He Xi's tone was calm, but the information revealed in her words sent a chill down Zhi Xin's spine.

An old friend who doesn't really reason much?

Anyone who can be described in such a tone by the Heavenly King is definitely not a simple character.

"But, teacher, I..."

Zhi Xin wanted to say something more, but He Xi gently waved his hand, interrupting her.

"You should just stay obediently by my side."

He Xi's tone left no room for argument.

"You've only recently become a right-winger. While your theoretical knowledge is solid, you lack practical experience. And..."

She put down her teacup and looked intently at Zhixin with her icy blue eyes.

"It is unwise to rashly get involved in unknown conflicts when the situation is unclear."

"Protecting yourself is taking responsibility for me and for Su Yi, understand?"

Seeing He Xi's serious expression, Zhi Xin immediately straightened her expression and nodded earnestly.

"I understand, teacher. I didn't think it through."

Although she was worried about Su Yi, she respected her teacher's judgment and teachings even more.

However, the way her eyes kept glancing towards the door betrayed the lingering worry in her heart.

He Xi took in her reaction and sighed inwardly.

This girl may seem naive, but once she's made up her mind, not even ten Skyblade warships could sway her.

But this is for the best.

Purity, sometimes, is her most powerful weapon.

But now is not the time.

On the other side, Liangshan.

The hustle and bustle of Juxia City was left far behind as the off-road vehicle bumped along the winding mountain road leading to Liangshan.

Inside the vehicle, the atmosphere was somewhat somber, yet also filled with the tension and excitement of carrying out a first-time combat mission.

Ge Xiaolun, Zhao Xin, and Liu Chuang squeezed into the back row.

As Ge Xiaolun watched the rapidly receding mountain scenery outside the window, his heart pounded with anxiety.

"Hey guys, are we really going to catch the Monkey King? That's the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong!"

"This...this script isn't right, is it? Shouldn't we be fighting aliens?"

Zhao Xin also looked constipated: "Who says otherwise? He's the Victorious Fighting Buddha! My idol since I was a kid!"

"Now you're telling me my idol has betrayed us and become our enemy? This feels surreal!"

Liu Chuang didn't have so many thoughts. He leaned back in his chair casually and said in a deep voice, "Who cares if it's a monkey or a Buddha? Since the higher-ups want us to go, let's go! It'll be a good opportunity to test how tough our black armor is and how sharp our axes are!"

As he spoke, he patted the giant black axe placed at his feet.

"Chuangzi, you're really bold."

Ge Xiaolun smiled wryly, "That's Sun Wukong! He can blow up 100,000 heavenly soldiers with one blow! Are we even enough for him to warm up?"

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Liu Chuang's eyes widened. "We're super soldiers now! How will we know if we don't try? Besides, isn't Rose in command?"

When the rose was mentioned, Ge Xiaolun's eyes lit up for a moment, but then dimmed again.

Since the wings were opened last time, Rose has never said anything encouraging to him again.

Although he was somewhat frustrated, he knew that only through hard training could he catch up with his opponent.

Otherwise, he would never have the chance to stand in front of the other party!
