Wang Zhan scratched his head, wondering why Yang Cui was questioning him like this. She had always been against him going out!
"Just three or four days."
As he said this, Wang Zhan paid special attention to Yang Cui's expression. Seeing no unusual changes, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You naughty boy, why are you looking at
like that? In your mind, is your mother that unreasonable?"
Yang Cui had noticed the change in Wang Zhan's gaze.
Wang Zhan quickly praised, "How could that be? My mom is the best mom in the world."
"I've heard about what you've been doing outside. You're grown up now, following the sa path as your father and elder sister. I won't stop you. I just hope you can take care of yourself out there."
Yang Cui understood that Wang Zhan had matured, and she should support what her son wanted to do.
Yang Cui's change in attitude left Wang Zhan sowhat baffled, but he quickly nodded.
Wang Zhan then turned to leave, hearing Yang Cui shouting from behind, "Bring that stubborn sister of yours back with you! That girl has had her wings for so long and hasn't sent a single word."
Hearing her loud voice, Wang Zhan thought, Now that's my mom!
The three won, having finished their al, were chatting on the couch. When Wang Zhan erged, they all said they should be heading back, but their gazes were fixed on him.
Wang Zhan instantly understood. Ah, they want
to drive them, he realized, feeling a bit awkward.
Qin Ying was the first to speak, "Wang Zhan, can you drop
off? I need to talk to you about Yao Yao."
Wang Zhan readily agreed. He had been wondering why Yao Yao hadn't co to see him since his return and was worried sothing might have happened to her.
Yuan ngru gave Wang Zhan a resentful glance and, without giving him a chance to explain, left with Yang Yuyu.
Seeing Yuan ngru's resentful gaze, Wang Zhan's heart skipped a beat. Looks like I've made her angry.
Wang Zhan was just overly worried about Yao Yao. In his heart, all the girls held equal importance. He would have reacted the sa way for any of them.
Wang Zhan and Qin Ying returned together to the Federal Presidential Palace.
In Qin Ying's office, Wang Zhan urged impatiently, "Quick, tell ! What happened to Yao Yao?"
On the way, Wang Zhan had repeatedly asked Qin Ying about Yao Yao. But Qin Ying explained that Yao Yao herself had been reluctant to tell Wang Zhan much before she left, only offering him a reassuring glance. This news made Wang Zhan extrely anxious.
Seeing his anxious expression, Qin Ying couldn't help but laugh.
"Look how worried you are. Yao Yao went to the Star War Battlefield. It's the only place where she can further enhance her strength."
Wang Zhan's sudden surge in strength had made the other won feel a sense of crisis, prompting them all to head to the Star War Battlefield to improve their own abilities, hoping to keep up with his pace.
Wang Zhan's expression finally relaxed.
"If she went, then she went. But you kept it from , worrying
to death."
"HEE HEE HEE!"
"I was just teasing you. I wanted to see how important Yao Yao is to you."
Wang Zhan pulled Qin Ying up from her seat.
SMACK!
A crisp sound echoed in the air.
"You scared ! Was that fun?" Wang Zhan said.
Then, SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! Three more crisp sounds followed.
"I just wanted to see how important the rest of us are to you," Qin Ying said, her face flushed red as she avoided Wang Zhan's gaze.
Wang Zhan was both annoyed and amused.
"You are all equally important to . I would be just as worried if it were any one of you. So, don't joke about things like this again."
Qin Ying's cheeks burned as she nodded. Only then did Wang Zhan let her be.
"Tell
about the Star War Battlefield."
Although Wang Zhan had been to the Star War Battlefield once, he sensed that his previous experience hadn't even scratched its periphery.
Qin Ying paused for a mont, then looked at Wang Zhan and slowly began to speak.
"The Star War Battlefield doesn't just contain the Human Race and the Beast Clan. However, the current crisis for the Human Race truly does stem from the Beast Clan."
Wang Zhan thought of the native inhabitants who looked almost identical to humans.
He knew the Beast Clan was the Human Race's greatest enemy. However, he couldn't understand sothing. If the beasts on Earth had been eradicated, shouldn't that have greatly weakened the Beast Clan's overall strength?
The Human Race and the Beast Clan had fought for so many years. What was the true combat power of the Human Race on the Star War Battlefield?
At this mont, Wang Zhan thought, I'm like a frog at the bottom of a well, ignorant of everything and desperate to break free from this confinent.
Wang Zhan slowly asked, "Hasn't the Beast Clan always been a threat to the Human Race?"
Qin Ying explained, "Beyond, in space, there are also nurous Wormholes connecting to other planets. Earth is among the weakest of these planets. Powerful human predecessors sealed these Wormholes to prevent experts from other planets from invading. However, the Beast Clan is now stirring up trouble from behind. If we're not careful, all our past efforts will be wasted, and everything will be ruined."
Qin Ying didn't tell Wang Zhan that Earth was actually a hunting ground for other planets, and humans were rely their prey.
"Why did the Beast Clan suddenly start an uprising?" Wang Zhan asked.
"Because of you," Qin Ying said, looking at Wang Zhan.
"What? How could it be because of ?" Wang Zhan looked puzzled.
Qin Ying explained that because of the Flaming Lion, it had returned to the Star War Battlefield. There, it began to gather its forr subordinates and launched a frenzied retaliation against the Human Race.
The Human Race, facing enemies on multiple fronts, couldn't withstand this. So human experts attacked the Flaming Lion and managed to injure it. The wounded Flaming Lion, however, enraged the Beast God. He disregarded their treaty and attacked the Human Race.
The situation for the Human Race on the Star War Battlefield was currently dire, and there was an urgent need to replenish their forces.
This led to the drive to recruit talented individuals from the Federal Martial Arts Academy for the Star War Battlefield, with the requirents being significantly lowered.
When Wang Zhan learned he was sowhat connected to this, he sheepishly rubbed his nose.
Recalling the Flaming Lion's intense gaze as it departed, Wang Zhan felt a lingering unease.
"COUGH! COUGH!"
Wang Zhan coughed twice and slowly asked, "So, can my double in prison be released now?"
Previously, due to the interference of the Four Great Powers and the Original Organization, Wang Zhan had been imprisoned and not released.
Wang Zhan had used an escape trick. To silence the Original Organization, he had left the mad man in the Federation's prison while he himself operated outside, planning his affairs. He hadn't expected the beast attacks to disrupt all his plans. Now, so much ti had passed, and it seed no one was pursuing the matter of his escape anymore. Wang Zhan had even appeared openly before everyone, yet no one troubled him. He found this a bit surprising.
Only then did Qin Ying rember there was still a 'Wang Zhan' in prison. The one in prison had fooled everyone. When the Beast Clan launched their war, the 'Wang Zhan' in prison had been forgotten by all.
"By the way, who is the one imprisoned?" Qin Ying had always been curious. Who was this Wang Zhan in prison that resembled the real one so closely?
"That's one of my buddies."
Wang Zhan didn't elaborate about the mad man.
Seeing that Wang Zhan didn't want to say more, Qin Ying didn't press further.
At this mont, the imprisoned mad man yawned repeatedly. Soone must be thinking about .
After being imprisoned for so long, the mad man was getting extrely bored. He had wanted to leave multiple tis, but whenever he recalled Wang Zhan's instructions, he resisted the urge.
Just then, the door slowly creaked open, and sunlight stread in. The mad man opened his drowsy eyes and saw Wang Zhan, who had suddenly appeared outside.
The guard was sowhat stunned. How can there be two identical people? But this wasn't his business to question, so he tactfully moved aside.
"You finally ca! I've had enough of this sunless place."
The mad man said as he struggled free of the iron chains on his body. He then looked at Qin Ying and teased, "Missy, you ca here day after day, whispering sweet nothings to , and then you vanished the very next day! Isn't that a bit unethical?"
Qin Ying glared fiercely at the mad man but said nothing.
Apparently, Qin Ying had visited the prison before. Seeing the mad man impersonating Wang Zhan, she had showered 'him' with concern and whispered many sweet nothings. Back then, the mad man, impersonating Wang Zhan, realized Qin Ying knew he was a fake yet still chose to tease him so. He couldn't show his anger, and it had been sheer torture. The mad man had rembered all of this. Now, seeing Qin Ying again, how could he resist teasing her a little?
Wang Zhan glanced at the two of them, then said to the mad man, "Let's go. You can leave now. There's a new place waiting for you."
Upon hearing this, the mad man excitedly asked, "Where are we going? Will there be fights? Your strength seems to have increased a lot!"
As he spoke, the mad man stretched his body.
The mad man was inherently a battle enthusiast. Especially after being locked up for so long, the fighting spirit within him was even more irrepressible. He even felt like sparring with Wang Zhan right then and there.
Wang Zhan thought of the beasts on the Star War Battlefield and said slowly, "Oh, there will be. I'm just afraid you'll fight until your legs go numb."
Even Wang Zhan felt uneasy about the crises looming on the Star War Battlefield.
Wang Zhan thought, This mad man, who fears neither heaven nor earth, is likely in for a rough ti there. He'll definitely have his work cut out for him.
The mad man then entered Wang Zhan's body and vanished. Qin Ying watched this scene, her eyes wide with astonishnt.
When Wang Zhan and Qin Ying left, the guard looked puzzled. He went inside the cell for a look but found no trace of anyone else. Where did the other person go? he wondered, but dared not make a sound.
"Aren't you staying tonight?" Qin Ying looked tenderly at Wang Zhan, who was about to leave, and asked.
Wang Zhan glanced at Qin Ying, his heart stirring. He forcefully suppressed the fluttering in his heart and refused. He quickened his pace, afraid he would fall into a situation from which he couldn't extricate himself.
"Well, well, your little sweetheart isn't staying with you. Gone ho already."
Just as Wang Zhan left, a pleasant voice sounded from behind Qin Ying.
Qin Ying didn't even turn her head, already guessing who was behind her. She said, "You saucy thing, did you really want him to stay and keep you company?"
Yu Lan, standing behind her, chuckled. "I'm just afraid soone wouldn't be able to bear letting him go!"
The smile on Qin Ying's face vanished instantly. She asked with a serious expression, "Have the matters I asked you to arrange been taken care of?"
