He even said to Sister Zhang with righteous indignation, "I have no way to repay your great kindness. I may not have the chance to see you again in the future. Sister Zhang... you saved my life. You won't even let me help with this little thing. How can I bear this? Please, Sister Zhang, let me help you with this."

The other Chinese soldiers laughed when they saw this.

They immediately told Ma Li, "Don't worry, since you're coming with us, we'll make sure you don't get hurt. You just need to be our guide."

That's right, they just wanted Mali to be their guide.

There's no need for Ma Li to risk his life for them.

In terms of combat, they are more professional.

Let professionals handle the professional tasks; Ma Li only needs to act as a guide.

After hearing the assurances from numerous Chinese special forces soldiers, Ma Li breathed a slight sigh of relief. He truly couldn't forget Sister Zhang's kindness to him, but he didn't want to die here.

Marco never forgot his promise to Maya.

If it weren't for Sister Zhang saving his life, he wouldn't have agreed to such a request. Considering the confidentiality of this matter, Ma Li didn't communicate much with Maya.

Anyway, being a guide shouldn't take too long.

That's what Ma Li currently believes.

In reality, being a guide is an extremely time-consuming task.

At first, Ma Li thought that Sister Zhang and her group had just found a new target.

But he didn't know that Sister Zhang and her group had found more than one new target.

Once they arrived in Myanmar, they had no intention of returning so easily.

Now that we're here, we naturally have to achieve something and leave behind some achievements.

Such opportunities to make a name for themselves are rare for them.

They went through a lot of trouble to secure this mission opportunity.

That's right, everyone in this Chinese special forces unit is vying to join.

Without real skills, one is not qualified to participate in this operation.

The competition is too fierce; it's incredibly cutthroat.

This also means that the members of these elite special forces are all top-tier soldiers, highly skilled and agile. Even Lin Beichen would have to give them a wide berth; they are by no means ordinary people.

Time passed day by day, two days, three days, four days...

It wasn't until the morning of the fifth day that Ma Li finally received news that the mission was complete.

Can you imagine how he got through those five days?
Ma Li knew that Maya must be worried about him having been here for so long. But he would never go back on his promise; that was his principle.

"Maya, I will never break our promise, and please don't act impulsively." Ma Li prayed silently, afraid that Maya might do something irrational because he was late, causing an unnecessary crisis. But in the end, he chose to believe Maya.

He believed that Maya would keep their promise to each other.

Just as he will keep his promise to Maya.

I was delayed by some things, but these are all understandable.

Once we get back, we just need to explain the situation to Maya.

The understanding Maya will surely understand.

“You’ve worked hard these past few days. Once things stabilize, we’ll report this to our superiors. Lin Beichen’s words carry weight, and so do ours.”

Sister Zhang and others made this promise to Ma Li.

With Lin Beichen speaking up for Ma Li and the others, it did indeed have some effect.

But it still wasn't enough. If they added their group to fight for Ma Li and the others...

In this way, Ma Li and his family will definitely be able to live a better life.

They didn't mind going along with it and doing Ma Li a favor. It was a small way of repaying Ma Li for his hard work as their guide these past few days; they couldn't let him work for nothing.

Ma Li never expected things to develop to this point.

He never expected anything in return from the other party.

He simply wanted to repay Sister Zhang's kindness.

In other words, the better he performed in front of these people, the more face he would bring to his elder brother Lin Beichen. If he appeared cowardly and afraid of death, he would indirectly tarnish Lin Beichen's reputation.

After all, Lin Beichen had recommended him to be the guide.

That's what he really thought. Helping Sister Zhang was only part of the reason; there were many other reasons, mainly because of Lin Beichen, since Lin Beichen was his friend.

"Thank you, this really means a lot to me."

Without the slightest hesitation, Ma Li bowed deeply to these people.

He also followed Chinese etiquette. During this time, he also gained some understanding of China and learned some basic etiquette.

Of course, he didn't know that even in China, not everyone knows these etiquettes, because they are ancient etiquettes that are rarely used by modern people.

As elite special forces soldiers, they did know these things.

They also found Ma Li's actions somewhat amusing.

Ma Li was genuinely sincere towards them; no wonder Lin Beichen recommended him as their guide. Having a guide like him was certainly reliable.

"Then we'll meet again someday."

"See you later."

"I hope to be able to attend your wedding next time we meet."

"Haha, let's go, let's go."

"Thanks……"

All good things must come to an end; there will always be a day of parting.

After saying goodbye, they each embarked on their journeys home.

To be honest, after spending some time with these Chinese soldiers, Ma Li felt a strange sense of attachment to them. He developed feelings for them and even felt a little reluctant to part with them.

Ma Li was secretly surprised when he realized he had such a strange thought.

"Is this the charm of China? This is the reason for China's strength?"

Ma Li pondered to himself.

Before interacting with the Chinese people, Ma Li didn't think they were a particularly attractive nation, but after actually meeting them, he was deeply impressed.

No wonder there are rumors that China is a land of etiquette.

When dealing with Chinese people, as long as you treat them sincerely, you will never suffer a loss.

Ma Li was filled with longing for China. Compared to war-torn Myanmar, with its ever-increasing crime rate, China was a true paradise. He had a new plan.

Ma Li wants to take Maya to live in China.

However, if one wants to live in China long-term, one must make some outstanding contributions. Short-term stays are fine, but to settle down permanently, one must work hard and make positive contributions... I suppose I've made some contributions during this period, if not more.

Moreover, her relationship with Lin Beichen was quite good.

If we meet again, I can ask him how to settle down in China long-term.

Ma Li wasn't in a hurry; he understood that such matters couldn't be settled quickly. He planned to return to fulfill his promise to Maya and didn't want her to wait any longer. With that thought, he immediately set off back as fast as he could.

On the fifth night,
As the sun sets, the last rays of its rays disappear into the horizon.

A faint crescent moon hung in the sky, its hazy light spilling into the silent forest, as if draping the entire area in a silver veil.

Maya remained seated in front of the courtyard, gazing absently into the distance.

That was the direction Ma Li had left in.

"Why haven't you come back yet? You big liar! You said you would come back, but you haven't. You might as well never come back and just die out there. I don't want you anymore..." Maya kept muttering to herself.

The old man next to him just sighed silently.

In the past, the old man might have thought there was a chance Ma Li might survive, but today, he felt that Ma Li's chances of survival were extremely slim; too much time had passed. If he were still alive, he should have returned long ago; five days had already gone by.

As for why there's no news from China...

The old man had also formed his own judgment.

Not all Chinese soldiers are as easy to get along with as Lin Beichen and Yu Feng.

Even if Ma Li were to die, they wouldn't necessarily make a point of delivering news of his death.

They probably wouldn't do something so thankless and arduous. It's entirely possible that Ma Li really did die out there, but how could he tell Maya? He simply couldn't bring himself to say it.

This is too cruel for the little girl.

As Maya spoke, tears involuntarily streamed down her face.

She couldn't help but burst into tears. For a moment, her sobbing echoed through the mountains and forests, her voice as mournful as a cuckoo's cry of blood, making people heartbroken and bringing tears to their eyes.

“You big liar, you big liar, I will never believe you again. You promised me, but you broke your promise. I don’t want to end up like you. If you die, I will go with you. I want to see what excuse you have left to make.” Maya said intermittently while crying.

The old man, who was listening nearby, had a drastic change in expression.

He looked at Maya and said anxiously:

“Girl, please don’t do anything rash. There’s still no definite news about Ma Li. Maybe he’s still alive! If you die now, what will he do when he comes back and can’t see you? You could have been reunited, but you’ve ruined everything because of your impulsiveness.”

The old man didn't know what to say.

Regardless, let's try to calm Maya down with a lie first.

It must be said that Maya really took the old man's words to heart.

The despair in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by a glimmer of hope. Just as the old man had said, anything was possible until Ma Li's death was confirmed. But wasn't that a bit of self-deception?

Maya knew that thinking this way was self-deception.
But she still held a sliver of hope in her heart.

Ma Li rushed back to the hill near his home without stopping. As soon as he arrived near his old home, he heard a sobbing sound. The voice was familiar and filled with sadness.

Why was Maya crying? It was because she was late coming back.

Ma Li was filled with guilt, and his pace quickened.

He wanted Maya to stop crying as soon as possible. In fact, Mali's appearance did delight Maya. She burst into tears of joy upon seeing Mali. She cried again this time, but these were tears of joy, different from before.

"You bastard, why are you so late? Why didn't you tell me? It's been five days! Do you know how I've been getting through these five days?" Maya said, crying.

Ma Li patted her on the shoulder to comfort her and explained why he was late. While they were talking, Maya kept scolding him.

"You never tell me anything, you bad guy."

"Couldn't you have told me beforehand? You're such a bad person."

Ma Li understood Maya's unreasonable behavior. He'd been waiting for so long; Maya must be incredibly anxious. Letting her vent was perfectly reasonable. As for the cause and effect, he had no time to discuss it. Now was not the time to lecture Maya.

At this moment, he should comfort her.

……

In any case, the story between Maya and Mali has finally come to a satisfactory conclusion.

Despite the many twists and turns along the way, the ending was beautiful.

Meanwhile, in the land of cherry blossoms, some unknown conspiracies are quietly brewing.

"Our struggle with China has never ceased since ancient times. It is extremely difficult to defeat China head-on through conventional means. China has a vast territory, abundant resources, and numerous dragon veins. Under the protection of its great fortune, it is extremely difficult for China to decline. If we want to succeed, we must first destroy China's fortune and sever their dragon veins," said Hondakawa of the Sakura Kingdom.

He is a renowned successor of the Onmyoji (yin-yang master) in the land of cherry blossoms.

Under his master's careful guidance, Honda Kawakawa knew that the key to breaking the deadlock lay in luck.

Unfortunately, his master has passed away; otherwise, with his master personally overseeing the contest, his chances of winning would certainly have increased. Now, relying solely on himself, he only has a 60% chance of success.

It's not that Honda Kawakawa lacks confidence,

Rather, he knew that the people of China were difficult to deal with.

As he just said, China is a vast country with abundant resources and a long-lasting destiny.

Such places are blessed with outstanding people and abundant resources, producing a constant stream of talented individuals.

There are also figures in China similar to the Onmyoji from Japan.

These people might not show up on ordinary days.

But if China faces a life-or-death crisis, they will surely emerge one after another.

The best strategy to successfully sever China's destiny is to strike unexpectedly, completely cutting off China's destiny before those people can react.

Below Honda River sat two high-ranking military officials.

They believed Honda's words because they had personally witnessed the power of feng shui. Feng shui also played a role in their rise to power as high-ranking military officials.

Therefore, they believed Hondagawa's words without a doubt.

"Sir, please make the arrangements. We will fully cooperate with your plan. If it succeeds, that would be best; even if it doesn't, we must still deliver a heavy blow to China." Yamamoto Kazusawa and Susanoo Ichigo below expressed their support.

“We believe you, sir.”

They had great respect for this gentleman.

Furthermore, they had long desired to attack China, yet had consistently failed to achieve significant results. Defeating China on such a long front was by no means easy. Even if they could achieve temporary victories, they would inevitably be defeated once the two sides reached a stalemate. This was a fact they had to acknowledge, and it was what deeply troubled them.

"You only need to follow my instructions, but you must keep it a secret and not let the news leak out. We must let the people of China fall into our trap without them even realizing it."

"Once the plan is complete, we will immediately close in."

A conspiracy quietly took shape in the hall.

China was completely unaware of this. (End of Chapter)
