Chapter 32 I can't get through by phone.
Three months later, the Masked Squad sat amidst the rubble of a ruin, quietly watching Lu Wuwei, whose face was serious.
"Now that Yuehuai's stronghold has been completely cleared, it's time for me to return to the capital."
"Ling Yunxiao, the capital has formally invited you to leave the frontline combat troops and join the Elders' Chamber of the Headquarters. Do you agree?"
Faced with Lu Wuwei's serious and earnest demeanor, Ling Yunxiao shook his head and refused without hesitation.
“I refuse. I want to be on the front lines. I’ll only stay with the Masked Squad. I’m not going anywhere else.”
"Okay, then that's all. I'll be going now!"
Lu Wuwei suddenly laughed, clearly indicating that he didn't entirely agree with the suggestion just now.
As the members of the Masked Squad breathed a sigh of relief, Ling Yunxiao quickly stood up.
"Wait, Mr. Lu, I have a question that has been bothering me, and I hope you can help me."
"You said."
"I know a gifted young man whose talent and abilities are astonishing. However, his growth is destined to be filled with many hardships and pains. But perhaps I can help him avoid some of these hardships and pains."
I'm worried that if I interfere too much, I might hinder his development.
"Huh? You mean your neighbor, that Twin Gods agent who's still in recruit training? You two have a grudge? Did he steal money from you when you were a kid? Or do you just dislike him and are looking for a reason to get revenge?"
"Uh...not at all. I'm genuinely afraid that I might affect his path of growth."
"In that case, he's really lucky to have such a 'good' older brother like you!"
Anyway, I don't want to talk to someone like you who's only a brother in my heart, but I can't reach them by phone when something happens. Forget it, I'm a clueless person, otherwise I wouldn't be delivering food. I'll take you to the fasting place; that old guy should understand what you mean."
Just as Lu Wuwei was about to pull Ling Yunxiao onto the electric scooter, Wang Mian stood up and blocked their way.
“Mr. Lu, it might cause misunderstandings if Brother Ling goes to the capital with you now. We know about the fasting center, and I will take him there. However, we would appreciate it if you could speak with the director of the center.”
“I almost forgot about that. Alright! I’ll tell the teacher, and you can just go directly there.”
Lu Wuwei quickly let go of Ling Yunxiao's hand. If he took him to the capital and those old guys took him away, it would be a waste of his talent.
After Lu Wuwei left, the group boarded the team's plane, and the pilot set the destination directly to the fasting place.
Three hours later, the two planes landed almost simultaneously. Wang Mian led his team off the plane and bumped into the spirit medium's team, who were carrying three prisoners.
Tianping immediately raised his eyebrows and strode towards Wu Tongxuan and Bu Li, laughing out loud even before he arrived.
"By the way, how about you rename your 002 Psychic Team to 004? How about giving up your team number to our Masked Team?"
"That would be perfect, or we could give 004 to the new recruits and change your numbers to 005!"
Whirlpool laughed and joined in, his gaze sweeping over each member of the medium team, his eyes full of mockery.
"Did you eat poisonous mushrooms before boarding the plane? Look carefully, this is a fasting center, not a hospital for stomach pumping. Go to the hospital right away! It feels like it will be too late if you wait any longer."
Wu Tongxuan stopped in his tracks, wondering what was wrong with the masked man.
"Tsk...you guys are the ones who ate poisonous mushrooms! I just heard that your team has been in charge of the Ancient God Cult all along, haven't you?"
"That's right! Look, Qianmo and his stronghold were destroyed by us and Fenghuang. Although Yuehuai escaped, his stronghold was also wiped out by us."
"I heard you mediums have been hunting down Yi Yu, but why are you only hunting him and not killing him?"
The vortex and the scales worked in unison, silencing the entire team of mediums.
“Brother Wu, this matter really requires your help. We have now almost completely eliminated all the members of the Ancient God Cult that we could find, and even Mr. Lu cannot find any other members of the Ancient God Cult for the time being.”
You are all well aware of the harm and value of those in the Ancient God Cult, especially that man who creates followers; we absolutely cannot allow him to slip through the net.
Considering this point in time, it's indeed time for Yiyu to be hunted down by the spiritual medium, Ling Yunxiao also spoke up.
After saying this, Bu Li blushed slightly. The entire Spirit Medium team had now been resurrected, making them several times stronger than before. A team of seven or eight Klein-level cultivators trying to capture a Dreamy One, only to have him escape repeatedly—it was indeed embarrassing.
"Brother Ling, don't worry. If I can't catch that rat, Yiyu, and bring him to you within three months, I'll go and live in the fasting sanctuary myself."
Wu Tongxuan clearly remembered that his team still owed Ling Yunxiao a lot of strange things. When the mission to hunt down Yiyu was announced, Ling Yunxiao also told the spirit medium team that if they could bring Yiyu to him, all past debts would be wiped clean, and each of them would even be given an additional 20 years of lifespan.
"It's not that bad, but you should still be careful. Yiyu is cunning and treacherous, and quite powerful. It's best to be cautious."
Looking at the resolute spirit medium team, Ling Yunxiao couldn't help but try to persuade them.
The members of the psychic team lowered their heads even further, cursing and muttering in their hearts about this escaped rat.
Just then, the soldiers handing over the prisoners came out, and one of them looked at Ling Yunxiao.
"Mr. Ling, the director is waiting for you in his office right now. Would you like to come with me now?"
"That's great."
Ling Yunxiao quickly followed the soldier. Ever since that snowy night, he had been hesitating about whether to return to Cangnan. He was afraid that his decision would affect Qi Ye's growth, and even the entire Nightfall Squad.
Ling Yunxiao followed the soldiers into the fasting quarters and soon entered an office. The white-haired, elderly man in a suit looked up, revealing bright eyes.
"You're here. Lu Wuwei has already told me about your problem. He didn't explain it very clearly. Do you mean that the child's relative or friend is facing death, and you're worried about affecting his state of mind and don't know whether you should help him? Or do you mean that he's encountered some trouble and you don't know whether you should help him?"
"Both! I always feel that such a boy may need to go through a lot of hardships to grow into a towering tree. If I interfere too much, he will become a flower indoors. In that case, it will cause a lot of losses for him and for Great Xia."
Ling Yunxiao exerted a little force before sitting down, and after carefully considering his words, he spoke softly.
"You don't look that old! You're quite the talker about the suffering and hardship taught by those old fogies in the strange world. What? Did your mind go back to ancient times when you became the agent of the ancient god?"
Tsk tsk... The last time I heard someone say something like that was when I was a kid and wanted to eat the fish belly but not the tail. My grandpa told me that when he was a kid, he ate dirt and grass and couldn't afford fish at all.
The Master frowned as he looked Ling Yunxiao up and down, and after a long while, he sighed softly.
