NFBE Chapter 373 On the Eve of Departure
Chapter 373 On the Eve of Departure
The headquarters of Team 006 in Shangjing City.
"Why does it feel like... there's been a lot more mystery lately..."
"Who can argue with that... When Uncle Shao was alive, we were never this busy..."
"Zhenzhen, I'm still your captain... Can you please stop hurting me like this...?"
"profound......."
Li Zhenzhen stuck out her tongue shyly and hid behind Fang Mo.
Seeing this, Chen Han didn't say much, but could only sigh softly and push open the red-lacquered door.
I know~~
Just as the three of them, who had just finished their mission, entered the courtyard, a white-haired boy wearing a dark red cloak was sitting at a stone table, smiling at them.
"Director Li?"
"Master Uncle?!"
Since the battle at the border, this year's Night's Watch recruit training has come to a successful conclusion.
More than a thousand new recruits were picked up by officials from various cities on their way back.
Fang Mo returned a little later because she had been spending the whole time with Li Jie.
However, judging from the assessment results, he was still successfully assigned to the Night Watch squad, which ranked first.
"It seems you're adapting well."
After a brief moment of surprise, Fang Mo reacted and ran inside to pour Li Jie a glass of water.
"Sorry, those mysterious people have been a bit restless lately, going out too often."
As they were talking, Chen Han walked over and sat down opposite Li Jie.
"Is there a mission from headquarters?"
Fang Mo handed the freshly brewed tea to the two of them, then tactfully stepped aside.
He seemed to remember speaking ill of his senior master when they were at the border, but he didn't know if his senior master Hong had complained to him.
I must have lost my mind. How could someone as powerful as Uncle Li possibly be unable to defeat those two gods...?
"Why go so far? Do you think I'm going to eat you?"
Seeing Fang Mo's unnatural gaze, Li Jie knew that the kid was afraid of him causing trouble later.
At this thought, a sense of unease crept into his mind...
Was I really that heartless before?
“No…no…”
Hearing this, Fang Mo gave an awkward laugh and pulled Li Zhenzhen forward.
"Why are you pulling me? Director Li is calling you."
"This is what it means to share happiness and hardship together..."
"Thank you so much..."
The latter pinched the soft flesh on his waist without any mercy, and even with Fang Mo's physical strength, he couldn't help but gasp.
"Stop it."
Seeing his teammates acting so unseriously, Chen Han felt a little embarrassed. His face darkened, and he said in a low voice.
"He's never serious, he's just not himself."
"It's alright, I don't mind. We don't have much time, let's get down to business first."
"After the war alert was activated, almost all the Night Watch squads were replaced. It will definitely be a bit of a hassle to adapt. You've worked hard."
"So, Director Li came here to offer his condolences?"
"No, I actually came to say goodbye. Commander Zuo has assigned me a mission to go to the Mist, and I don't know when I'll be back."
"Are we going into the mist again?"
The dangers lurking in the fog can only be understood by those who have experienced them.
The period when Anta County was stripped away by the Outer God and plunged into the mist was arguably the time that Chen Han felt most deeply and was most afraid of.
Although he managed to escape with the help of Li Jie and Zhou Ping, it was as if he had died once.
"Yes, I came here to bring this kid something."
After speaking, Li Jie pointed with two fingers, and a jet-black longsword carved with cloud patterns flew out of the sword-nurturing gourd, with seven sachets of different sizes hanging from the sword tassel.
"This sword is a spiritual sword that I brought back from Kunlun Mountain. Although it has not yet given birth to a sword spirit, it already contains a lot of spirituality."
"Those sachets hanging above are some sword moves that I carved with my sword energy. You must study them carefully while I'm gone."
"Also, don't neglect your cultivation of your realm. If I have the opportunity to return to Great Xia, I will come back to check on you."
After giving his instructions, Li Jie casually handed the longsword with the sachet to Fang Mo.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
"Chen Han, see you two little ones next time."
.........
The headquarters of the 136th Squad in Cangnan City, the Peace Affairs Office.
Su Yuan and Su Zhe, the two siblings, peeked out from the doorway and tentatively called out.
"anyone there?"
Upon hearing that someone had arrived, Zhao Kongcheng, Hongying, and Wen Qimo, who were packing their luggage, simultaneously put down their work and returned to the reception room.
"Is there a problem?"
The two siblings looked in the direction of the sound and saw a capable girl with a high ponytail looking at them with a gentle smile.
Afterwards, they exchanged a brief glance.
Su Zhe: Is it her?
Su Yuan: It should be.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them saluted Hongying in perfect unison.
"New recruit Su Zhe, report to Squad 136!"
"New recruit Su Yuan, report to Squad 136!"
"Oh, I see. So the new recruits that headquarters were talking about are you guys."
Hongying drew out the last syllable, as if to say, "So that's how it is."
"I am Hong Ying, the deputy captain of Squad 136. This is Captain Zhao Kongcheng and team member Wen Qimo."
She pointed to the middle-aged man with a weathered face and the shy young man behind her and introduced them.
"However, you've come at a bad time. We're about to head to the front lines."
"......"
About ten minutes later, the three returned to the reception room with their valuables.
"We still have one veteran member who is responsible for staying at our base, but he has gone out on a mission and has not returned yet. The situation is urgent, so we will tell you the rest when he comes back."
"Are you so anxious?"
Su Zhe frowned, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly opened his mouth wide.
"Don't ask, we really don't have time." Zhao Kongcheng gave a wry smile and stopped Su Zhe.
He then tightened the straps around his body and said with some reluctance.
"If we don't leave now, the plane won't wait for us."
"I know, I know."
At this point, the other two smiled and nodded to the two siblings who had just entered the residence, then dragged their luggage toward the door.
"correct."
As if she had just thought of something, Hongying, who had already stepped halfway out the door, turned back and added.
"If any of the people in that photo come back, remember to tell them we are in Jialin Pass."
"Don't worry, Vice Captain, I guarantee the mission will be accomplished."
When the three figures completely disappeared at the end of the Peace Bridge, Su Yuan and Su Zhe also looked with great interest at the photo hanging in the center of the wall.
