She needed an answer before leaving.

After spending so much time together, Ruan Ruoshi knew very well that with Zhang Che's personality, if it were just the two of them, he might leave without wanting to answer, and she definitely wouldn't be able to stop him then.

With Lin Zhaoli present, as long as she doesn't move, Zhang Che wouldn't dare to leave even if he had ten times the courage.

Therefore, Ruan Ruoshi believed that this was her only chance to get the right answer, and she was willing to risk offending Lin Zhaoli for it!

……

Zhang Che felt like he had two heads to slam, and the atmosphere at the scene fell into a strange silence because of Zhang Che's silence.

Lin Zhaoli's face was full of anticipation for a good show, while Song Ruolan, though cautious, also had eyes full of curiosity about the final outcome.

Time ticked by, and Zhang Che was filled with torment. Although he wasn't exactly a scumbag in his past life, he had had several long relationships and various casual flings.

If it were just a way to fool a young girl, any little trick would be enough to get rid of it.

At worst, you can agree to it first, and then find a reason to break up after spending some time together.

But the current Zhang Che is no longer the middle-aged man with rich emotional experiences he once was, and this world no longer has the overly open atmosphere of his previous life.

Especially for a girl like Ruan Ruoshi, if Zhang Che really dared to "start a relationship and then abandon her," who knows if she would explode.

Thinking of this, Zhang Che could only sigh in the end: "I'm sorry, I don't have any plans to find a partner at the moment."

"Okay, I get it now."

To everyone's surprise, Ruan Ruoshi accepted the answer very calmly, and then, disregarding the presence of Jin Zhaoli, got up and left the living room.

"Under the Crown of Frost Territory..."

Seeing this, Song Ruolan was a little worried, but as soon as she spoke, she saw Lin Zhaoli wave her hand, her tone carrying a hint of disappointment: "Hurry up and follow them, and try to persuade that child, so that she doesn't do anything rash."

Song Ruolan nodded in agreement, then quickly left the living room, glancing at Zhang Che along the way, but could only sigh softly.

These things can't be forced. Since the man is unwilling, you can't force him to like Ruan Ruoshi, can you?

It's often said that it's easy for a woman to pursue a man, but ultimately it depends on the actual situation.

After the two people left, the living room became much emptier. Seeing that there was no more gossip to be had, Lin Zhaoli had no reason to stay any longer.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared from the spot.

"that……"

Suddenly, Pan Tingting raised her hand and looked cautiously at Zhang Che: "I actually like you too, how about we give it a try?"

Since her rival had already made his stance clear, Pan Tingting felt she couldn't fall behind.

She didn't have the guts when Lin Zhaoli was there, but now that she's gone, she certainly can't let this good opportunity slip by.

"Why are you getting involved again? Go back and study the cards I gave you. There's still a lot to learn."

"Oh……"

Pan Tingting immediately became obedient and quickly took the cards and left the living room.

In the end, he was left alone sitting on the sofa, sighing silently.

At this moment, outside the main building, Fu Xing and Li Yao were craning their necks to look inside.

The two had already been curious about Ruan Ruoshi's red eyes when she left, and with Song Ruolan following behind and quickly catching up with her, they were even more anxious, scratching their heads and trying to guess what had happened inside.

"Damn, I should have gone in with them earlier! So what happened?!" Fu Xing was incredibly curious, and his intuition told him that the matter was definitely related to his older brother.

But he didn't dare to go directly to the person in charge, so he could only place all his hopes on Li Yao, who was standing to the side.

"Sister Li Yao, aren't you closest to Pan Tingting? Why don't you go over and ask her later?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Fu Xing received a big eye roll from Li Yao—you usually act so clever, have you forgotten that those two girls are practically rivals in love?

Asking Pan Tingting at this point would be tantamount to going to Shi's door, and she didn't want to be punished for no reason.

Thinking of this, Li Yao disregarded her original purpose for coming here today and walked outside without saying a word, planning to return after the storm had subsided in a few days.

At this moment, Pan Tingting also went out and saw Fu Xing looking around outside. She then smiled and went over to him, saying that she had just received a new card from Zhang Che and wanted to try it out with him.

"Ah, this..."

Before Fu Xing could finish speaking coolly, the Wings of Weapon appeared behind him.

"Don't worry, I'll only use the Wings of Weaponry."

Chapter 277 Farewell

Five minutes later, at the villa's training ground.

Today should have been a sunny and bright day, but above this training ground, which covers an area of ​​nearly 300 square meters, there was a terrifying scene of dark clouds overhead and lightning flashing.

Faced with this scene that seemed like a natural disaster, even the colossal Tyrannomon, which was over seven meters tall, couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Logically speaking, Fu Xing, who possesses courage and strength, shouldn't be like this, but when one is feeling insecure, courage simply doesn't have much effect.

Besides, it's just a friendly match between teammates; there's no need to make things worse.

"Wings of Weapons, Black Wing Charge!"

With the blessing of the Dark Zone, the originally slender body of the Weapon Wings has expanded to the size of the Armor Wings, and even the gun blade in its hand has become sharper and more imposing than before.

Then, at Pan Tingting's command, the Weapon Wings, whose strength had surged, even dared to confront the Tyrannosaurus Beast head-on.

A streak of black light flashed through the air, and neither Fu Xing nor Tyrannosaurus Beast could even see its movement clearly.

The next second, Tyrannomon felt a sharp pain in its chest, and then a wound nearly two meters long appeared near its heart.

Even though Tyrannosaurus Rex is tough and resilient, it would have lost a significant portion of its combat power if it weren't a card.

At this point, the outcome is decided, and continuing the fight would only bring further humiliation.

"I give up! I give up!" Fu Xing shouted as he rushed toward the Greymon, which had transformed back into Agumon and buried itself in its master's arms for comfort.

"Waaaaah, Ah Xing, they cheated!"

Agumon looked aggrieved. During their previous sparring match, the guy called Weapon Wing could only manage to scratch him with a small cut.

They've suddenly become so skilled; they must have cheated!

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't cheat." Pan Tingting put away the two cards, strode over to Fu Xing's side, first giving Agumon's big head a good rub, and then explained with satisfaction, "That was a domain card that Zhang Che just made, of course it's powerful!"

"A domain card? Really? Bro, you succeeded!"

Fu Xing was a well-educated scion of a prominent family, so he naturally knew exactly what a "Domain Card" was.

But it is precisely because we understand the intricacies of this process that we know just how skilled the card makers who can create domain cards truly are.

"That's right, Zhang Che is the most skilled card maker..."

“Um, I meant someone his age…” Realizing she had gone back on her word, Pan Tingting quickly added another sentence.

Then, seemingly wanting to change the subject, Pan Tingting explained that the area covered by the domain card was far from reaching its limit.

Given her current mental strength, if she were to unleash her full power without reservation, the area covered by [Dark Zone] would be at least dozens of times larger.

Of course, the consumption is huge, but as long as the domain exists for even a moment, the dark attribute extraordinary power within its coverage area will be greatly amplified.

It's roughly equivalent to artificially creating an environment where dark attribute energy overflows. Extraordinary individuals or creatures with the same attribute can receive various powerful amplifications within it, including but not limited to reduced energy consumption, faster energy recovery, and stronger ability effects.

It can be said that as long as Pan Tingting has this card in hand, she can instantly become a super support in the dark attribute team.

And this is precisely the power of the Domain Card.

"Wow, I never imagined my brother was already this amazing. I wonder when I'll be able to use cards like this." Fu Xing's envy was palpable.

"You should save your breath for now." Pan Tingting poured cold water on him without any hesitation. "Domain cards are basically all at least Tier 4. When you advance to the mid-level transcendent, Zhang Che should give you a domain card too."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xing finally understood that the Domain Card was actually a promotion commemorative gift that his older brother had given to Pan Tingting.

But wouldn't that mean Ruan Ruoshi should have received the same treatment? So why did she leave with red eyes?

Could it be that the older brother treated her differently and hurt the girl's feelings?

Although he wasn't exactly a native of Binhai City, he had spent a few years there, so he naturally felt a bias towards Ruan Ruoshi, his "fellow townsman."

Pan Tingting seemed to have guessed what Fu Xing was thinking, so after a brief moment of thought, she took the initiative to tell him what had happened in the living room.

Of course, she definitely skipped the part where she confessed her feelings to Zhang Che but was treated like a child.

That's so embarrassing!

After all, although Ruan Ruoshi was also explicitly rejected, Zhang Che's attitude was at least the same as that towards another adult. Why did he treat her differently?

She can't figure it out!

Fortunately, at that time, only she and Zhang Che were left in the living room, with at most one more person, Lin Zhaoli, who was probably spying on them.

In short, as long as Zhang Che doesn't tell, this secret can remain hidden forever.

Yes, I still have a chance!

……

Two days later, Ruan Ruoshi took the initiative to say goodbye to Lin Zhaoli and moved out of the villa.

The reason given was that the Public Security Bureau needed to provide her with further training, requiring her to leave Qi'an City for a period of time.

Those who knew the inside story—well, because Pan Tingting wanted to save face, Li Yao, who was closest to her, naturally also knew what had happened that day—understood why Ruan Ruoshi was so eager to know Zhang Che's attitude towards her.

Because if they don't seize the opportunity now, they don't know when they'll get another chance to meet.

Although Zhang Che does not plan to leave Qi'an City for the time being, given his personality, he will not stay here for too long either.

Who knows when we'll head to our next destination.

There are no free lunches in the world. If Ruan Ruoshi wants to receive strong support from the Public Security Bureau, it means that she will also have to dedicate her time to serving the Public Security Bureau in the future.

For at least a decade, she would find it difficult to leave the southeastern province.

So her idea was that if Zhang Che was willing to accept her feelings, she would give up the training from the Public Security Bureau and choose to stay by Zhang Che's side.

However, the result was clearly not ideal.

Ruan Ruoshi wasn't the type to complain or blame others. Now that she had the answer, she chose to continue on the path she was already on, to become an even better sheriff.

After saying goodbye to all her companions, Ruan Ruoshi stood in front of Zhang Che and gently brushed the hair from her temple.

"Zhang Che, I will not give up."
