"No news yet?"
At noon the next day, there were only two hours left before the departure time, and Linghai still hadn't appeared.
Azi hugged her knees and curled up in the room between her and Linghai. She quietly stared at the place where Linghai left when he stepped into the void. There is a small open space. On the table next to it is Linghai's gray scarf. Azi's pearl and jade bracelet lies quietly in the scarf, emitting a faint halo.
Linghai's promotion lasted twelve hours beyond the normal situation. During this period, Azi didn't sleep a wink all night, waiting for Linghai. Eluma was worried and Azi stayed with her. At midnight, Zhou Li and Don Quixote came to Azi's room and waited together. In the early morning, Xiaoke came here with his brother and sister Aiwei and Kaya.
"No."
After hearing Don Quixote's question, Azi shook her head slightly. There was no worry or sadness on her face, just calmness and indifference. But Eluma on the side knew that this was just the body's protective mechanism, forcing the body to calm down during extreme emotional fluctuations. In fact, Ah Zi has never been as scared and worried as she is today.
"Two hours."
After closing the Brave Exclusive in his hand, Zhou Li looked at Ah Zi but did not comfort her again or say anything else. He was just very calm and said to her in the same tone as before: "There are still two hours before we leave."
"I know I won't stay."
Ah Zi pursed her dry lips, and her voice was unusually hoarse: "The fifty thousand supplies are still in the name of the Zisha Chamber of Commerce. I must follow, otherwise it will easily cause trouble."
"No, I mean, there are still two hours before we can prepare to help Linghai."
Zhou Li changed the subject, stood up, and said to the somewhat astonished Ah Zi: "I contacted the president of the Shadow Union at six o'clock in the morning, and I just got a reply saying that the spiritual sea has reached the depths of the void at this time, and it's very... It may be lost, but it’s a place even he can’t go to.”
Before Ah Zi felt desperate, Zhou Li continued: "But, this is not a dead end."
Azi was startled for a moment, and her originally slightly dim eyes became radiant.
"The president of the Shadow Union has great goodwill towards Linghai. After learning the news, he told me a way."
Zhou Li paused. It wasn't that he could sell things off, but that method was somewhat... logical.
"Go to Muqi, let a brilliant-level shadow assassin open the stable void door, let a gold-level shadow assassin with a certain void affinity enter, follow the traces left by the spiritual sea to find her, and put her The lost self is brought back to reality."
"ah?"
After hearing the news, everyone was shocked.
Such a coincidence?
"It's such a coincidence." Zhou Li shrugged and said in a relaxed tone: "The Void Gate can be opened by little Kaya. Her Void Gate is much more stable than other shadow assassins. The spiritual sea is in the void. Only Shadow Assassins who are also at the Silver or Gold level can follow the path stably, but..."
"Ai Lei!"
Ivy on the side exclaimed: "She matches this perfectly!"
Yes, the blond woman who had been suppressed and beaten by Linghai, and later even trapped in a trap by Linghai for a bondage game, perfectly met all the conditions.
"I'll inform her right away."
Ayin on the side acted very quickly. The moment Aiwei shouted, she tapped President Al twice on her chest. With a flash of light, Ayin said softly to Azi: "The news. It has been reported that according to Ai Lei’s speed, two hours is more than enough, so don’t worry.”
Azi smiled gratefully at Ain's kindness. Although the two chambers of commerce still have a certain degree of competition, there is no conflict between the managers of the two chambers of commerce. On the contrary, Azi admires Ain's meticulous thinking and interpersonal relationships. Ai Yin likes A Zi's business acumen very much, as well as her cute appearance.
"On behalf of Linghai, I would like to thank everyone for your help. It is greatly appreciated."
Azi stood on the ground with the support of Eluma. Her small feet wrapped in white stockings bowed when they touched the cold ground. For the first time in front of everyone, she was usually shrewd and cunning. She was frail for her age, but only for a moment.
"I'm not a good person, but that's for the enemy." Zhou Li opened the door, turned around and said calmly: "We are all friends, there is no need to be polite."
"Actually, Ailei likes Linghai quite a lot."
At this time, Aiwei on the side wanted to liven up the atmosphere and said with a smile: "Ever since Zisha cooperated with Al, Ailei has always been thinking about communicating with Linghai. Ailei is a very kind girl, but sometimes she is not very good. He is good at expressing his feelings and can easily cause misunderstandings."
Oh, you are a tsundere with blonde hair, you have already retired from the environment.
Zhou Li said something from the bottom of his heart, then he waved his hand and said to everyone: "Prepare your luggage and check your belongings. Ain, you asked the Zisha Chamber of Commerce when you were coordinating supplies..."
He suddenly paused, then he looked at Eluma beside him, and changed his words: "Let the vice president of the Zisha Chamber of Commerce conduct statistical activities first. Eluma, look after Ah Zi, and you two will supervise it together. Statistical activities.”
"OK."
AhZi agreed and did not refuse. She knew that with her current mental state, it was easy for her to make mistakes. Eluma's presence could help her stabilize her mind and avoid making those low-level mistakes.
"Don Quixote, your family is waiting outside, you can go."
Zhou Li's words directly activated Don Quixote, who was eager to return home. She responded, and then disappeared into the room at an extremely fast speed.
"Xiao Ke, have you read the messenger's plan?"
"I saw it." Xiao Ke nodded and replied, "I read the official schedule yesterday and memorized it all."
Zhou Li looked at Xiao Ke who was clinging to Kaya's side, stroking Kaya's hair like a cat, and said to her: "Remind you, that is only the official schedule."
Zhou Li pointed at himself and said in a tone of stating the facts: "We are completely free to move. If those officials speak, we will beat them directly without holding back."
"okay."
Xiao Ke is very satisfied with this. The original official schedule was extremely cumbersome and the various ceremonial costumes were dazzling. After hearing that she didn't have to think about what kind of flowers to put on her hair at nine o'clock on a sunny day, Xiao Ke suddenly felt comfortable.
"Huh~"
Zhou Li breathed a long sigh of relief. This time, he had to face a future that had changed. Moreover, it still had to be changed by his own hands.
This time, he could only win.
