Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

She looked at Chen, her eyes filled with the joy of an elder seeing their child return from a trip.

After watching for a while, Wen Yue let out another sigh.

Without Chen needing to ask, Wen Yue spoke up:

"When you return to Longmen this time, just stay by my side for a while and let me see you more. As for your uncle's affairs, don't get involved anymore, okay?"

Chen remained silent for a moment.

Despite feeling a pang of reluctance, she stubbornly shook her head under Wen Yue's expectant gaze.

"I may not be able to help Qi Yan with his affairs, but I can't really stay out of it."

His battle with those behemoths will inevitably affect Jade Gate and even Dragon Gate, and the people will inevitably face some crises, such as those from the mountains and seas. I absolutely cannot sit idly by and do nothing.”

“Your uncle will handle everything,” Wen Yue reassured her.

“I know, but… I’m worried.” Chen seemed to recall some unpleasant memories. “I know his personality too. He brought me back not simply because you missed me.”

Wen Yue knew she couldn't hide it anymore, and she had never intended to keep it a secret in the first place:

"He wants to exploit your friendship with Qi Yan to protect Longmen during this turmoil."

"If he's worried about Lungmen, why doesn't he just let Lungmen leave?"

Chen frowned and said, "Even if General Zuo wants to keep him, it's for his own sake; the fate of Longmen is not important."

"Because Longmen is not here, he is just a guest of Yumen; but when Longmen is here, he is one of the main characters involved in the incident."

Wen Yue glanced at the tightly closed door and said helplessly, "General Zuo rarely shows weakness, and I tried to persuade him to help me with our past friendship. Little did I know that he had anticipated my feelings and included them in his own plans."

“That’s why I hate him,” Chen said bluntly. “He keeps saying he cares about Longmen, but when it comes down to it, Longmen is just a bargaining chip in his hands.”

“You don’t hate him, but rather his current power-hungry and cold-hearted behavior. I don’t like that about him either,” Wen Yue said softly. “But please don’t say things like you hate him as a person anymore, okay?”

I could tell that he actually hated being like this, but he couldn't do anything about it; circumstances were beyond his control.

Chen hesitated, as if he wanted to speak.

She also wanted to emulate Du Yaoye's behavior of loudly scolding Zheng Qingyue and Shangzhong on Qujiang Peak, and wanted to denounce Wei Yanwu's ideas, but in the end, she was no longer the little girl like Du Yaoye.

After experiencing Longmen and what followed, even though she was unwilling, she had to admit that she was slowly coming to understand Wei Yanwu. However, her personality prevented her from taking these actions for granted.

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became dull.

Suddenly, Chen remembered something else: "How does he plan to get Lungmen involved?"

“…He anticipated that someone would come to Longmen tonight.” Wen Yue did not hide anything.

Chen's pupils contracted slightly; he could no longer sit still.

"No, this is too risky! There are giant beasts lurking among the people of the Mountains and Seas. I must find Qi Yan immediately!"

“Your going to find Qi Yan is exactly what the Mountain and Sea Clan is planning!” Wen Yue reached out and grabbed Chen’s wrist.

"That's a giant beast!"

"believe him."

Chen stared at Wen Yue in shock, wondering where her confidence in Wei Yanwu came from.

Wen Yue gently pulled Chen back onto the sofa, a hint of reminiscence in her eyes:

"Don't forget, he taught you your swordsmanship. You don't know that he once walked the streets with a sword just like you."

The inferior tea aroma had somehow been mixed with a hint of sweet peach blossom scent.

Wei Yanwu held his teacup, gently inhaling the floral fragrance in the air, a hint of intoxication on his face:

"At this time of year, I am fortunate to be able to experience the fragrance of peach blossoms before others, which can be considered as receiving a favor from you."

His answer was a long sword that sliced ​​through space.

The teacup and the blade clashed, producing a long, resonant sound like metal striking stone.

The wall at the corner of the corridor where Wei Yanwu was located was instantly covered with cracks, the glass in the window shattered inch by inch, and the tea table in front of him could not withstand the struggle between the two and exploded into flying debris.

Only Wei Yanwu sat down in his chair, his teacup and himself completely unharmed.

Ya sheathed his sword and stepped back, his face cold as he stared at the man leisurely drinking tea before him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"I tolerated Qi Yan's trouble in Longmen back then because he was a madman and it wasn't worth provoking him."

Wei Yanwu took a sip of tea, a faint smile on his face: "Afterwards, he wreaked havoc on this land, even recklessly destroying a city in Letania. I am even more grateful that my decision was correct."

Now I've encountered someone like him again. Tell me, should I continue to endure this today?

"Human, are you provoking me?" Ya said coldly.

"No, no, no, you've misunderstood." Wei Yanwu downed his tea in one gulp, then spat out a couple of mouthfuls of foam, and chuckled, "I just wanted to ask, are you a madman like Qi Yan?"

The murderous intent in Ya's eyes gradually intensified:

"I only intended to cripple you and make a fuss, but you've successfully displeased me. You think you're qualified to judge us?"

Wei Yanwu's smile remained unchanged; he leaned forward slightly and rested his arm on his knee.

At this moment, he shed his usual aloof governorship, as if he had become some kind of rogue or a proud swordsman wandering the world.

"You've misunderstood. I'm not here to critique you today."

Wei Yanwu toyed with the delicate little teacup between his fingers: "I waited for you to come here today with only one thought in mind: to kill you, or to be killed by you."

For the first time, a clear emotional fluctuation appeared on Ya's indifferent face. He swept his long sword horizontally, transcending the constraints of space and slashing directly at Wei Yanwu's neck.

"Hahaha! Looks like I made the right decision again!"

Wei Yanwu flung his hand and threw the teacup, knocking Ya's long sword off course.

The teacup shattered, and Wei Yanwu abruptly stood up, his hands forming a sword-like gesture, aiming it at Ya's brow.

"You are a behemoth, but you are not; you are merely a substitute body for one!"

Wei Yanwu's smile was somewhat arrogant: "If I were to be caught off guard and ambushed by you, I would indeed be in a sorry state with your authority. Unfortunately, Qi Yan has already exposed your existence."

There's one thing I've envied ever since the Longmen incident, and now, finally, Wei Lao Er's chance has come true!

Ya's expression changed slightly.

He actually sensed a threat from the sword-like finger that Wei Yanwu was pointing at his brow.

A sharp sword aura bloomed at Wei Yanwu's fingertips.

Wei Yanwu laughed wildly, "Where is your true form? Let it come forward!"

Chapter 888 A Sword That Shocks the Heavens

If someone asks, "Qiyan, Qiyan, how do seagulls call?"

Then Qi Yan will definitely answer...

"Wuhu~ What bad luck, what bad luck, what bad luck!...Wuhu!"

If someone asks again, "Qi Yan, Qi Yan, why can birds fly?"

Then Qi Yan would definitely extend his arm to indicate that he wanted to watch the video...

Extreme used both hands and feet to break free of the encirclement, and with a sudden burst of strength, he jumped onto the roof of a bungalow. Before he could continue to escape, a wooden stick flew over and accurately hit him in the head.

With a scream, Ji Jing fell from the roof, his arms flailing wildly in the air as if trying to fly away.

In terms of results, he did succeed.

A dark-skinned, bald man leaped into the air and delivered an elbow strike that sent the opponent flying a great distance.

Even after suffering repeated severe injuries and screaming in agony, he remained lively and energetic, getting up and continuing to run around screaming.

Seeing that Ji Jing was about to escape from the alley where he was hiding, Qi Yan quickly and kindly stepped in to help, sticking his foot between Ji Jing's legs and tripping him hard.

Before he could react in the extreme situation, he left without a trace, concealing his merit and fame, and slipped away into the depths of the alley.

Ji Jing fell flat on his face, covered in dust, and couldn't see who had tricked him. In the blink of an eye, he found that his pursuers were rushing up behind him. He hurriedly raised his hands and frantically begged for mercy, hoping to escape the beating by going to jail.

Hearing Ji Jing's pleas for mercy, the pursuers, panting heavily, tacitly chose to ignore him and beat him up first.

At the critical moment, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky outside Yumen.

The dense sunset was pierced by some force, churning and surging, revealing a perfectly round gap.

At the center of the gap, dazzling sword energy shone brilliantly. From afar, it was as if the heavens had opened their eyes and seen something that left even Him speechless.

"What's that...wait, that direction is Lungmen!"

"It must have been done by the Mountain and Sea Clan!"

The people of Yumen were shocked and, without saying a word, pinned the blame on the Shanhai people.

The Jade Gate people who were pursuing the Extreme Realm were far more furious than the others, and they were ready to unleash all their old and new grievances on the villains of the Mountain and Sea Clan who dared to provoke a Grandmaster.

But when they looked down, they found that there was no trace of Ji Jing in their field of vision.

In an alley two streets away from the scene of the incident, Qi Yan threw the Extreme Realm in his hand on the ground, crossed his arms, and laughed:

"Luckily I arrived in time, thank me."

"Thank you... I thank you, Doctor!" Extreme got up from the ground and headbutted Qi Yan's chin with a rocket-shaped headbutt.

Qi Yan stumbled slightly, but easily regained his balance thanks to his half-open golden eyes.

But Ji Jing wasn't so lucky. He clutched his head and fell back to the ground, unable to focus his eyes for a long time.

"Oh my, just like the Doctor." Qi Yan grinned crookedly. "There are always some stupid birds on the ground who dare to challenge the little white rabbit with golden eyes."

Having faced reality and realizing he couldn't win, he decisively chose to endure humiliation and change the subject:

"What's the situation over at Lungmen? Aren't you going to check it out?"

"Who knows? Maybe some guy surnamed Wei got cocky because I'm backing him up," Qi Yan sneered.

"Wei Yanwu?" Ji Jing was astonished. "He caused that commotion? I knew he wouldn't be weak, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful when he actually unleashed his power. Who is he fighting?"

"With a giant beast."

"Then he's definitely going to die?"

"He won't die, at most he'll get a beating."

Qi Yan poked his head out of the alley, gazing at the distant sky where sword energy crisscrossed and tore through the clouds, and shook his head, saying:

"This guy is really trying to take advantage of me. He's trying to make himself look bad so he can have more say in the matter."

Extreme also got up from the ground, brushed the dust off himself, and grinned:

"It has to be said that Wei Yanwu is a ruthless person. He is ruthless to others and ruthless to himself. No ordinary person would dare to face the giant beast alone, no matter how well prepared they are."

"For someone like him, there are very few things he wouldn't dare to do, as long as there's enough profit to be made."

Qi Yan didn't continue discussing Wei Yanwu's ulterior motives, and turned to look at Ji Jing: "What happened in Iberia?"

When this was mentioned, Extreme immediately started gesturing excitedly:

"It's all because of what you did. Although neither Kal'tsit nor I have any evidence, only you could do something so outrageous."

"I'm asking you, did you create those branches in the sea that are covered in hydrophobic hairs, frantically clinging to children and meowing, and even learning to expose their bellies and act cute?!"

"Wow, it evolved into its final form so quickly." Qi Yan immediately showed an interested expression.

"It's really you!"

Extreme was so angry that she gritted her teeth: "Do you know how much trouble Iberia has caused because of this new branch of Hai Si!"

Qi Yan asked curiously, "Tell me more about it."

Jijing took out a stack of papers from his pocket, then unfolded them and spread them directly onto the ground at his feet.

Holding an excessively long piece of paper, Ji Jing began to pour out her heart:

"A new type of creature was recently discovered in the coastal region of Iberia. It is the new type of marine bream I mentioned above. People did not understand it at first and were deceived by its cute appearance. Many people caught one for their children as a pet."

However, problems soon arose. The families who kept the new type of marine life experienced frequent nightmares and a sharp decline in sleep quality. They were diagnosed by the hospital as having suffered from long-term exposure to sound waves of a specific frequency, leading to physical ailments.

Qi Yan frowned, immediately realizing that he had been careless:

"I completely forgot about Hai Si's unique way of communicating. This is my fault."

“No, actually this is easier to control.” Jijing smiled bitterly. “At first, the hospital did not identify the pathogen as the new type of sea creature. Later, some children were playing with the new type of sea creature and accidentally confided their troubles to it.”
