Chapter 263 Xie Ruoxi Will Never Quit the Team

Yan Yu and Su Yunjin left the secret realm and saw that not only the garrison troops and the monks of the Peaceful West Army were waiting outside, but also Zhang Huaide, Tang Xiaolian and Qin Meng from the Fire Phoenix Team had arrived.

"Xiao Zhang, when did you come?" Yan Yu asked in surprise.

"I haven't been here long." Zhang Huaide replied with a smile, "I originally wanted to see if you needed any support, but you guys actually finished the fight right away. That's amazing."

"No, no." Yan Yu understood his implication. It was simply that the Pingxi Army felt that it was unreliable for these two people to go in, so they specially asked Zhang Huaide and others to rush over from Nanchuan. As long as the situation was not right, they would rush into the secret realm to help.

As a result, the three of them sat outside and watched Yan Yu and Su Yunjin perform a double clearance. They kept complaining and their expressions were tense.

The red-dressed girl who is the goalkeeper of the secret realm is like a super-enhanced version of Zhou Hongyu. Not only is her fire magic far superior, she is also good at footwork and swordsmanship. However, she was still suppressed and defeated by Yan Yu and Su Yunjin. In the eyes of Zhang Huaide and others, they had the illusion that "although Captain Zhou didn't come, he has already lost badly."

Of course, despite his complaints, he also gained a new understanding of Team Yan's strength. Zhang Huaide even asked the monks stationed in the garrison for a full video of the secret realm so he could take it home and study it carefully and analyze it in depth.

"Would you like to stay for dinner?" Zhang Huaide invited.

"No, no." Yan Yu declined politely, "We still have some things to do. We'll leave as soon as we finish our military duties."

"It must be because Captain Zhou didn't show up." Tang Xiaolian whispered to her teammates, "Team Yan isn't interested in us."

"Stop talking nonsense." Qin Meng interrupted her quickly, "Captain Yan is not that kind of person!"

"What kind of person?" Zhang Huaide suddenly asked.

"Ahem." Qin Meng coughed awkwardly and said, "It's nothing, just treat it as something I said."

"Since you know it's nonsense, don't say it again next time," Zhang Huaide said calmly. "Although rumors stop at the wise, you all know Captain Zhou's temper. If we talk nonsense among ourselves and the media outside hears it and creates gossip, and it eventually reaches Captain Zhou's ears, how do you think she'll react?"

If Zhou Hongyu heard that there was a scandal between him and Yan Yu in the outside media... wouldn't he rush over and blow up the editorial office of the paparazzi tabloid?

Thinking of this, Qin Meng and Tang Xiaolian also came to their senses and said quickly:
"No more, no more. I will never make jokes about this again."

Yan Yu politely declined the Fire Phoenix Team's attempts to keep him. After handing the supplies to the military monks and registering them, he and Su Yunjin flew out of Tianshan on their swords and headed north again to collect snow water.

Su Yunjin was hovering in the air with the Cloud Ascending Technique, collecting data for about half an hour, when he suddenly heard Yan Yu say:
"I see you've mastered the entire process. You shouldn't need me to accompany you from now on, right?"

"Oh." Su Yunjin suddenly felt disappointed and sighed, "Captain, you have something important to do, right?"

"On the one hand, I have to go back and manage the team. After all, if they haven't practiced combat for too long, I'm afraid their skills will get rusty." Yan Yu explained patiently, "On the other hand, as you can see, Xiao Zhou is still in the hospital. When any difficult secret realm appears in the Pingxi Army's jurisdiction, the first thing they think of is my help."

"If I continue to stay here, I won't be able to accompany you. I will just be ordered around by the Pingxi Army, and it will also delay your collection of Guishui Essence."

Su Yunjin remained silent. Although she was reluctant, she had to admit that the captain was right.

"Then I'll leave?" Yan Yu asked tentatively when he saw that she looked wavering.

"Wait a moment." Su Yunjin said.

Yan Yu waited for her to speak, but after waiting for more than ten seconds, Secretary Su still didn't speak. Just as he was about to ask, a fragrant breeze suddenly blew into his arms.

Su Yunjin hugged him gently and whispered in his ear:
"Thank you for accompanying me, Captain."

In an instant, countless chaotic responses popped up in Yan Yu's mind, such as "You deserve it", "Please respect yourself", "It's my duty", "Try harder"... But after so many words rushed to his throat, only one sentence remained:

"Come back early, we'll be waiting for you in Jinling."

"Yeah." Su Yunjin nodded vigorously.

As the season turns to late autumn and early winter, the geographical location of the "first snow" will continue to move south until the cold air is intercepted by the Tianshan Mountains - its peaks, such as Bogda Mountain, are covered with snow all year round, and cannot be considered as rootless water.

By that time, Su Yunjin will be able to come back.

Refining the essence of the five elements is such a hassle. Not only does it require the right time and place, but it can't be done in one go; it requires repeated efforts. The entire process is a slow grind, often taking six months, a year, or even two years. There's no room for haste.

After saying goodbye to Su Yunjin, Yan Yu flew away on his sword and started his journey back home.

The flight process is omitted. When he returned to Jinling Villa, he found that only Xie Ruoxi was at home, and the other girls were not at home.

"Where are they?" Yan Yu asked. "They're out on a mission," Xie Ruoxi replied.

"Mission...Oh, I remember now." Yan Yu remembered that Li Weiguo once said that there was a mission in Jiujiang Province and asked Chen Lingyun to lead the team there.

After sending a message to the girls to let them know he was safe, Yan Yu turned his face to the pretty loser, acted like a captain, and said sternly:

"During the days we were away, have you been diligently practicing your daily breathing exercises? How about your sword-controlling skills? Have you cultivated your spiritual consciousness through the spiritual cultivation techniques?"

"Of course there is." Xie Ruoxi said timidly when she saw his unfriendly expression.

"Go to the basement and show me!" Yan Yu shouted.

In the basement training ground, the two sides fought for only a few rounds before Xie Ruoxi was knocked down by Yan Yu and fell to the ground helplessly.

Seeing that she was pretending to be seriously injured and refused to get up, Yan Yu was too lazy to expose her trick. He just moved a small stool from the side and used the stool legs to hold her waist. Then he sat on the stool and said:
"If you don't want to get up, just lie down."

Xie Ruoxi tried to push herself up, but found that she couldn't overturn the bench and Yan Yu that were pressing on her. She began to hum with dissatisfaction, and no one knew what she was saying.

"It can be seen that you have really practiced hard and have not been lazy." Yan Yuxian gave a compliment.

Xie Ruoxi showed a look of joy, and subconsciously began to complain:
"Of course! During the time Lingyun and the others were away, I practiced for an hour every day..."

"One hour is too short!" Yan Yu immediately turned hostile and said, "This is your current problem! You practiced, but the time was too short!"

"It's still short?" Xie Ruoxi couldn't believe it.

"Nonsense, what else? Our Zhenhai team has actual combat training every afternoon, at least four hours, okay?"

"I only promised you to be a cultivator, but I never said I would join the team..." Xie Ruoxi muttered softly, but Yan Yu heard it clearly and said slowly:
"If you want to quit the team, it's not impossible."

He paused for a moment, but Xie Ruoxi didn't seem happy at all. Instead, she looked alert and asked:
"But what's the price? Let me warn you first, if you use my mobile game account to threaten me, I won't be angry and stubborn! I, I, I, I will not withdraw from this team!"

Yan Yu:………………

How did you manage to beg for mercy from me in such a tough tone?

"Don't worry, I won't touch your account." Yan Yu said with a smile, "I'll just call your parents and brother and ask them to have a good discussion with you. After all, quitting your job is such a big deal, you should always tell your family, right?"

Xie Ruoxi's eyes immediately became dull, as if she had been beaten silly.

Not to mention her brother, she certainly knew her parents' personalities: one was that they valued money, and the other was that they cared about face. Unfortunately, the profession of a monk possessed both of these characteristics.

She had become a monk by accident, but she had not dared to tell her parents about it until now, because the result was completely foreseeable: her parents would be stunned by the great news, and then they would immediately tell the whole village and all the relatives and friends in other provinces that the daughter of the Xie family had actually become a monk!

He doesn't care at all about how much suffering his poor daughter has to endure, how much pain she has to endure, how much blood she has to spit out, and how many tears she has to shed in order to become a monk!

Now, when her parents called, Xie Ruoxi simply lied, saying she was working in Jinling, "managing computers in an internet cafe, working double shifts day and night, making less than 3,000 yuan a month." Her parents knew she was worried about her, and they frequently sent her money, worried she wasn't making enough, and even urged her to learn hairdressing, etc. All of this was predicated on their wishful thinking that their daughter was having a hard time.

If Yan Yu exposed this lie, his parents would definitely change their attitude. There would be no love at all, only endless urging and demands!

"Xixi, you have to work hard, strive for promotion and military rank, and earn more money."

"Xixi, why aren't you on TV? The neighbors are all asking about it. Everyone wants to see you on TV!"

"Xixi, your uncle came to ask about his son. He said that he's usually quite bright, but he just doesn't study hard. Can you take him to see if he has the talent to become a cultivator..."

Thinking of this, Xie Ruoxi, who was dizzy, suddenly twisted her body and flipped Yan Yu to the side, shouting:

"What the hell! Don't talk nonsense! I... I never said I wanted to quit the team!"

Yan Yu, who nearly fell, turned around and jumped up, slapping her on the forehead with one palm, suppressing Xie Xianzun, who was about to stand up, under the Five Elements Mountain again:

"Evil beast! What nonsense are you talking about!"
