"As expected of you, miss. Is it over so soon?"
The employees stationed around the mountain forest had been notified to go in and rescue the wounded. Yue Yaowen opened the curtain and walked into the tent where Yue Xiao was with a smile.
"Um."
A rare smile appeared on Yue Xiao's serious face, "She seems to have made progress again."
"Miss, your progress is really fast."
Yue Yaowen nodded happily, "It seems that I will be eligible to inherit your position soon."
"It's still too immature," Yue Xiao put away the smile on his face and shook his head slightly.
"Right……"
Yue Yaowen's face was a little helpless. The master's requirements for the young lady were still a bit too high.
But there is nothing that can be done about it.
As one of the earliest employees of the company, the master has experienced more things than he imagined, including the war years decades ago.
At that time, this man was still a teenager, but now he is a retired general.
It is precisely because of those years that the master has such strict requirements for the young lady.
In the eyes of the master, the mission of the Yue family has been to protect the family and the country since ancient times, and what the master needs is someone who can take on this important task.
······
"I don't even want to praise me a few more words, ugh~"
Yue Xiangtong shrugged and complained, then raised his head and looked at the dark night sky.
"So how strong do I have to become to meet your requirements, dad..."
She feels a little confused about her life.
Because she feels that she is strong enough. Compared with her peers around her, she is the strongest no matter what she does, without exception. Her natural physique and hard work in martial arts gave her strength beyond most other people at such an age.
But whenever she felt that she was strong enough and finally able to be recognized, her father would always use the excuse that "the world is not as simple as you think" to deal with it.
"Well~ forget it."
Shaking his hair, Yue Xiangtong turned around and prepared to leave.
The target has been solved, and the rest can be left to the people who deal with the aftermath. She has nothing to do here anymore.
But as soon as she turned around, her whole body tensed up like a cat with explosive hair.
A man in a black suit and a white mask leaned down and touched his chin, then thoughtfully brought his mask-covered face in front of her and looked at her.
"!?"
when?
Yue Xiangtong's eyes were dull because she didn't feel anyone coming behind her at all.
The instinct of her body told her that she should draw the sword, so she stretched her hand towards the hilt of the sword, but she only caught the air.
"Forehead……"
She turned her head in confusion and found that the sword originally carried on her back had disappeared.
A sharp pain came from her lower body. She lowered her head and saw the sword inserted into her abdomen at some point.
Blood flowed out along the blade that was not completely submerged.
"When is this...?"
When she came to her senses completely, the man with the white mask had already arrived next to the body of the hybrid she had killed.
The man squatted down and looked at the body, seeming to be studying something.
"Is that all you can do? I'm so disappointed."
He poked at the half-breed lying on the ground. He knew that the half-breed was already dead, but he still asked questions in his somewhat unfamiliar and broken Chinese.
"Sure enough, I am the only one who is special."
As if to make the audience around him understand, the man insisted on using his broken Chinese.
He stood up slowly and faced Yue Xiangtong, who was stunned by a sword.
"You...who are you?"
Yue Xiangtong's eyes were filled with doubts as he looked at the man talking to himself not far away.
At this moment, she seemed to understand why her father always said, 'This world is not as simple as you think'.
The man in front of her who appeared out of nowhere was very strong, so powerful that she couldn't understand it, because she still hadn't figured out how her sword was inserted into her body.
At this time, roaring sounds continued to sound in Yue Xiangtong's headphones.
"Xiang Tong!? Xiang Tong!? What's wrong with you!?"
Just now, he was still listening to his daughter's habitual complaints. Yue Xiao originally had a helpless smile on his face, but before he could cut off the communicator, he heard a strange sound coming from the other side.
The smile on his face grew stiff and then turned into anxiety. He didn't even realize that the channel he was speaking on was the all-staff channel used to notify all employees of the end of the assessment.
"What happened?"
For a moment, all the employees near the assessment site became nervous, and the atmosphere seemed to have frozen. Everyone stared with bated breath, and their hearts beat loudly.
This was the first time they heard such a gaffe from the executive director.
Yue Xiao couldn't help but be anxious, because what he was most worried about seemed to have happened.
No one in the venue can hurt his daughter, except...
He raised his head and looked sharply at the map on the projection cloth.
"One person is missing..."
Yes, those two represent one less red dot for Zhang Chulan and Sun Haoran.
"hateful!"
"Move!"
Yue Xiangtong stretched out his hand again, trying to grab the sword inserted in his abdomen and pull it out.
She knew this would increase the blood loss, but she had no choice.
Facing such an incomprehensible and powerful enemy, having no weapon in his hand is no different than a dead person. Only by holding the sword can she have a chance to fight.
But in the blink of an eye, the sword on her body disappeared.
"how come……"
Yue Xiangtong's pupils shrank sharply.
This time, she saw with her own eyes how her sword disappeared.
It was as if time had been cut off. The sword was still inserted into his body one second, but it disappeared strangely the next second.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, interesting. He's quite tenacious. Can he still stand like this?"
The man's frivolous voice came from the front.
Yue Xiangtong raised her head and looked, and sure enough, her sword was already in the hand of the man wearing a white mask.
The strangest thing was that she didn't feel the other party move at all.
"What exactly..." According to common sense, no matter how fast the opponent is, she should feel the fluctuations in the surrounding air.
The man looked at the girl who was standing there with some teasing.
Although he just stabbed her casually, the sword that penetrated the entire abdomen was fatal enough for ordinary people, but this girl could still stand?
And he even tried to pull out the sword.
"There seems to be nothing wrong with this sword. That's right. You clearly used this sword to kill this trash just now."
As he said that, the man looked at the sword in his hand. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the sword, he kicked the corpse next to his feet and stepped on it a few times casually. "Hmm~ It is indeed garbage. He could be stabbed to death by such a broken sword. "
