Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"That's exactly what I was thinking. Farewell."

Wei Yanwu got up and left: "Huijie, I'm going back to Longmen to arrange some surprises for Black Snake. Come with me."

Chen hesitated for a moment, but still reluctantly got up and followed Wei Yanwu away.

Chongyue glanced at Zuo Xuanliao's ugly expression and knew that today's meeting was destined to fail, so he made an excuse to leave with Ling Hexi.

In the end, only Zuo Xuanliao, with a gloomy expression, remained in the tent.

But soon, a trusted confidant emerged from behind the curtain deep within the tent.

Looking at Zuo Xuanliao's expression, he cautiously said:

"General, Lord Wei is probably just angry. He'll calm down in a couple of days."

“Angry? No, he wasn’t angry at all.”

Zuo Xuanliao took a breath and gradually calmed himself down: "On the contrary, he was very happy, so happy that he was a little carried away... and his happiness was a little too fake."

The confidant clearly didn't understand the meaning of these words.

Zuo Xuanliao glanced at him and said indifferently, "This guy wasn't forced to stay by me and the Grandmaster using our status, but because of my attitude."

"How long has it been since I've been this angry with him?" A hint of regret flashed in Zuo Xuanliao's eyes. "Faced with someone like Qi Yan, whose mind and strength far surpass mine, I know I have no chance of winning, but I am unwilling to be manipulated by him, and I cannot entrust the safety of the people of Yumen to outsiders."

So this is the only way I can rely on: joking around with Wei Yanwu to get him to stay, remembering our past friendship. I need his help to anticipate Qi Yan's actions.

"But Lord Wei..."

"His predictions about Qi Yan were all correct, weren't they?"

The confidant quickly lowered his head and said, "I have never questioned Lord Wei."

"...You can continue to question it." Zuo Xuanliao said with his eyes closed, "Wei Yanwu...in the end, is still the Governor-General of Longmen, not the Governor-General of Yumen."

His joy was genuine, but it was too real, so real that it was obvious he was acting.

Outside the military camp, Wei Yanwu led Chen slowly down the street.

He suddenly turned around and looked at the military camp as if he had a premonition.

"What's wrong?" Chen asked.

Wei Yanwu, his previous playful demeanor gone, looked up at the vast sky and said slowly:

"I wanted to buy sweet-scented osmanthus and drink it with me, but it turned out to be different. I was a young man traveling."

Chen was confused: "How could you..."

"Sorry, Huijie."

Wei Yanwu suddenly said in a low voice, "Back then, what you did in the Dragon Gate incident was wrong. The reason I asked you to come with me just now wasn't really to plan any arrangements against Black Serpent."

He continued walking forward, leaving Chen with only a somewhat desolate silhouette:

"Wen Yue misses you a lot. Let's go back and spend more time with her."

"……it is good."

Chen Wei was slightly moved and followed in Wei Yanwu's footsteps.

However, she was completely unaware of the glint of shrewdness that flashed in Wei Yanwu's eyes when his back was turned to her.

Chapter 883 The Clan of Mountains and Seas: The Advantage Lies With Us!

A woman with exaggerated shoulder armor walks on the streets of Yumen.

Although her attire occasionally attracted the attention of passersby, it did not stand out too much.

Yumen is a city that values ​​martial arts. Now that it is connected with Longmen, many tourists from Longmen have heard the legends of Yumen and come to visit. Not only that, some people also dress up in exaggerated costumes that make them look more like martial arts figures than the locals of Yumen.

Just as the woman was preparing to return to the stronghold of the Mountain and Sea Clan in Yumen City, the Mountain and Sea Clan members who had previously warned her at the restaurant reappeared.

"Ya, our stronghold has been exposed. We should move to another location," the man whispered a reminder.

The woman named Ya remained indifferent.

The man from the Mountain and Sea Sect handed Ya a slip of paper and explained:

"I'm busy notifying the other companions. You'll have to find the address on the note yourself."

After saying that, the man from the Mountain and Sea Sect immediately turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

Ya didn't care about this. When she joined the Mountain and Sea Clan, she didn't reveal her true identity. The group only regarded her as a martial artist with considerable skills. Although they obeyed her commands, they didn't show her too much awe.

After adjusting her shoulder armor, Ya followed the address on the note and made her way there. When she arrived at the inconspicuous little house, she found that quite a few people had already gathered inside.

Inside the house, a minor leader of the Mountain and Sea Clan waved and said:

“Ya, I’ve saved you a spot here. Because things happened so suddenly, the temporary base is a bit crowded, so please make do.”

"It's alright." Ya walked over and sat down, saying calmly, "Judging from your posture, it seems you really can think of a way to deal with Qi Yan?"

"What are you thinking? It's not bad that he's handling things for us."

The leader smiled wryly: "That guy is just as eccentric as the rumors say. He actually came to join the Mountain and Sea Clan with that grandmaster's sister. We're not stupid, how could we possibly believe him?"

We definitely can't win a fight, and we can't afford to offend them either. For now, we can only move around and try to stall until the natural disaster strikes.

“With him here, even if natural disasters strike, it will be of no use,” Ya reminded him.

"That's true, but we're still not willing to retreat with our tails between our legs right now." The leader slammed his fist on the table in front of him.

Ya felt contempt for these ignorant humans in his heart, but his face remained unchanged.

She said calmly, "You continue with the plan. I will handle the rest."

"You have a way? That's Qi Yan!" The squad leader asked in surprise and doubt.

“Soldier against soldier, general against general, someone has already secretly arranged everything for this situation.” Ya was too lazy to explain in detail to this group of people, and said in general terms, “According to the planner’s arrangement, I will first go to Longmen to attack Chen and Wei Yanwu, and lure Qi Yan there.”

Then, someone will launch an attack on the Ursus border, and Jade Gate and Dragon Gate will inevitably separate. The rest of you don't need to worry about that; just continue with the plan within Jade Gate.

The leader and the rest of the Shan Hai clan members inside the room immediately showed joy on their faces.

The minor leader even bowed repeatedly to Ya:

"Thanks to your joining us, we are now even more powerful. When you attack Longmen, we brothers will be there to cooperate and give Longmen a big surprise!"

Ya remained noncommittal and simply got up and left.

She wouldn't even bother to glance at this group of believers who worshipped the power of giant beasts unless other like-minded people made the request.

Du Yaoye strode along the bustling streets of the south of the city, with Lao Li and Wu You carrying large and small bags behind him.

The two men were quite skilled, but their faces were still etched with visible fatigue, shocked by the terrifying energy women displayed while shopping.

Behind the three, even the two soldiers arranged by Zuo Xuanliao were not spared, carrying several carefully selected gifts as well.

"This is it."

Du Yaoye stopped and pointed to a shop in front of him, saying, "The owner of this sword-making workshop, Meng Tieyi, is a friend my father made when he was traveling the world. With his help, I'm sure I can gain a foothold in Yumen as quickly as possible!"

"Another one who's about to help a friend babysit."

Old Carp seemed to recall some unpleasant times, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Brother Li seems to be quite experienced?" Wu You joked.

"Not just very experienced, but extremely experienced!"

Old Carp couldn't help but grind his teeth: "The reason I came to Yumen this time is to find that irresponsible guy. I'll take some time to go back to Longmen next door and bring Huaihu over."

"I won't waste time then. I'll just ask Qi Yan to help me open Huai Tianpei's box, and then I'll sit back and watch little Huaihu jump up and kick his irresponsible father's chin!"

Wu You kindly said, "Then here's the problem: you can't even find Qi Yan now, so how are you going to open the box?"

Old Carp: "..."

"Hey, what are you two whispering about? Come here!"

Du Yaoye stood in front of the sword-making workshop, waved to Lao Li and the others, and then casually banged on the workshop's door.

"Uncle Meng, I am Du Yaoye, the daughter of Zheng Qingyue. I have just arrived in Yumen and have come to pay my respects!"

As Du Yaoye knocked on the door, Lao Li kept looking at the sword-making workshop in front of him.

Located on a bustling commercial street, the store was closed, not like it was preparing to open for business and welcome customers. However, there was no notice of closure on the door, and the half-closed window confirmed that someone was inside.

Old Carp narrowed his eyes slightly.

Soon, the tightly closed door of the sword-making workshop was opened a crack, and someone no one expected peeked out from inside.

"Qi... Waaah!"

Du Yaoye was so frightened that she opened her mouth to scream, but Qi Yan quickly covered her mouth and then pulled her into the house.

Then Qi Yan poked his head out again and waved to Lao Li and Wu You.

Old Carp and Wu You exchanged a glance, then tacitly stepped aside, gesturing for the two soldiers behind them to go first.

The two soldiers' muscles were taut.

Those sent by Zuo Xuanliao to act as guides and monitors are naturally shrewd and capable of judging the current situation.

Noticing their nervousness, Old Carp kindly reminded them:

"Stop struggling, you two. You should know that your resistance is useless. You might as well go in and listen to more information. It will satisfy your curiosity, won't it?"

"I...we're not really that curious."

"You must be curious."

The two soldiers, looking as if they had drunk a pound of bitter melon soup, slowly moved into the sword-making workshop like puppets.

Old Carp walked behind them and sighed to Wu You:

"Why bother? I was just lecturing Miss Du not to let social skills become social mishaps, and now this whole ordeal has backfired on me."

Wu You comforted him, saying, "This isn't your problem. It involves Qi Yan. There's no room for sentimentality here; it's all an accident."

Old Carp's lips twitched twice:

"I appreciate your comfort, but please stay away from me when you go inside and get beaten up. I'll be even more grateful."

"Ahem, just kidding. But on the bright side, you can now ask Qi Yan to help you open the box."

"Yes, yes, the price was going from being General Zuo's guest to becoming a wanted criminal in Yumen."

Old Li turned around and closed the door of the sword-making workshop, sighing, "I hope that when Huaihu sees me again, it won't be on a news program in Longmen."

On the other side, at the entrance checkpoint in the south of the city, a man and a woman arrived at Yumen, looking travel-worn.

Chapter 884 I am the Ultimate Realm!

"Wuhu, is this the legendary Yumen Pass?"

After successfully entering the city with Lin Yuxia, Jijing couldn't help but look around: "It really is just like in the videotape, with people dressed as martial arts heroes everywhere."

Lin Yuxia explained, "Those who look like people from the martial arts world are visitors from Longmen, while those in ordinary clothes are the people from Yumen."

"interesting!"

Extreme Realm asked impatiently, "Where can I buy the most authentic Yumen liquor?"

“Don’t forget your mission in Yumen.” Lin Yuxia said helplessly, “You were sent by Kal’tsit to Yumen to ask Qi Yan for help. Although I don’t know the details, the fact that Kal’tsit is in such a hurry to find Qi Yan means that the situation in Iberia must be very critical.”

Extreme Realm became slightly more serious and comforted him:

"That's what they say, but the fact that Governor Wei suddenly sent someone to Rhodes Island to call you back to help shows that Yumen is also in a very critical situation."

If I'm not mistaken, Governor Wei is worried that Old Chen alone won't be able to get Qi Yan to unleash his full firepower to protect the two cities, so he called you along to let you and Old Chen each take charge of one city.

With the two of you here, Qi Yan will run his legs off to protect Yumen and Longmen.

Lin Yuxia nodded in agreement with the description of the extreme conditions, but still felt something was off:

"Jingzhe also returned to Yan Kingdom. Didn't she meet up with Qi Yan? Why do I need to make the trip as well?"

"Who knows? Maybe they couldn't keep up with Qi Yan's pace and were left behind to collect dust."

Ji Jing casually guessed something, and unable to contain his excitement, he rushed into the crowded street, raised his arms, and shouted:

"Yumen, I've arrived at the extreme realm!"
