Inside the magnificent hall of the Church of the Ancient Gods, Yuehuai sat on a luxuriously decorated chair with a gloomy expression, his voice as cold as frost.

"Can anyone give me an explanation as to why all our undercover agents in the Night's Watch recruit training camp have suddenly lost contact?"

“If they have already been eliminated, then it will be much more difficult for us to get close to Lin Qiye.”

Yiyu rested her chin on her hand, leaning back in the chair, a half-smile playing on her lips.

"It seems that the higher-ups of the Night Watch attach great importance to Lin Qiye."

"President, why don't we just take action and eliminate him? After all, I can't control a divine agent with my mind."

Yuehuai rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on, and sighed, "No, he is, after all, a divine agent with limitless potential."

If he's willing to join us, it would be a huge asset to us.

Yiyu shrugged helplessly and stood up: "Then I'll have to trouble the president. I still have to deal with those crazy mediums."

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared from the spot, leaving only the echoing sound in the empty hall.

Yuehuai turned to the side, her gaze falling on the man wearing triangular sunglasses, and said in a deep voice:

"Lü Liang, go and investigate thoroughly, find a way to infiltrate them. We must find out if Lin Qiye is willing to join us; if not, kill him without hesitation!"

Lü Liang respectfully replied, "Yes, Chairman."

Meanwhile, in a villa at the recruit training camp, Zhou Ping sat shyly opposite Lin Xiao and Hong Ying.

He took out two or three chopsticks from his pocket and gently placed them on the coffee table in front of Hongying. He scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "This is a gift for you. Please accept it."

Lin Xiao: ...

Hongying looked at Zhou Ping and Lin Xiao with a blank expression, clearly puzzled by the unexpected gift.

Lin Xiao explained with a smile, "He is Zhou Ping, the Great Xia Sword Immortal, one of the five strongest experts in the Great Xia Dynasty. Those chopsticks contain his sword intent, which is equivalent to the power of his full-force attack."

Upon hearing this, Hongying's eyes widened: "He...he's the pinnacle of human potential?!"

Clearly, she never expected that this seemingly ordinary, even somewhat socially awkward man was actually one of the top combatants among the Great Xia Night Watchmen.

She carefully picked up the chopsticks, a sweet smile blooming on her face: "Thank you for the gift, I really like it."

Then, she frowned in slight distress: "But where should I put all of these? I can't possibly hold them all in my hands during battle, can I?"

Just then, a crisp system notification sounded: "Ding, a storage ring is granted to the host."

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up, and he immediately took out a crimson gold storage ring from his pocket and gently put it on Hongying's left middle finger.

"Put it here. This ring has the same function as the rings that Wan'er and I have. It can be used simply by injecting mental energy into it."

Hongying blushed as she looked at the same black and white ring on Lin Xiao's hand.

"You're not planning to use this as an engagement ring, are you?" she asked, half-jokingly.

Lin Xiao laughed: "If you're willing, it's not impossible. That way I'll save money on buying a diamond ring."

Hongying playfully punched him: "That won't do, this can only be considered a couple's ring."

Zhou Ping silently turned his head away from their intimate interaction until the atmosphere eased before speaking: "Lin Xiao, I'll have to trouble you to arrange accommodation for me. Ye Fan didn't tell me where I should stay."

Lin Xiao placed the spare key to the villa in front of him: "What else is there to arrange? You can just live with me."

It's just me and Sister Hongying in this villa. Wan'er comes over occasionally, but there are plenty of empty rooms. You can choose whichever you like.

Zhou Ping glanced at Lin Xiao, then turned to Hong Ying: "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? When you two are being affectionate, wouldn't my presence here be an inconvenience?"

He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly paused, realizing something: "Wait a minute! Aren't you and Wan'er the young couple? Then who is she?"

Lin Xiao hugged Hongying and said with a smile, "She's my girlfriend too. Her name is Hongying. She was originally a member of the Cangnan 136 Night Watchman Team, but I've recruited her into my special team. She and Wan'er both know about each other."

Zhou Ping's mouth dropped open, completely dumbfounded, clearly not expecting it could be done this way.

Finally, after hesitating for a long time, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Young people should be mindful of moderation."

Hongying's face instantly turned red to the roots of her ears.

If love is forgotten...

Suddenly, Hongying reached into her hoodie pocket and pulled out her phone. Seeing the name displayed on the screen, she realized what was happening.

"Hey little bro, we haven't told the captain yet that I've joined the special team."

Lin Xiao was also taken aback, only then remembering that only he and Hong Ying were in the villa at the time, and Si Xiaonan was not there either.

After meeting Yang Jin, Zhou Ping told him that he had arrived at the recruit training camp, so he hurriedly returned with Hong Ying.

Lin Xiao reached out and took the phone, answering it directly.

Chen Muye's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hongying, something mysterious has appeared. Where are you now?"

Lin Xiao smiled somewhat awkwardly: "Captain, Sister Hongying is with me right now."

Chen Muyi, who was driving, was taken aback when he heard this: "Lin Xiao? Didn't you go to the recruit training camp?"

Hongying was listening to the phone call next to Lin Xiao, and Lin Xiao reached out and hugged her even tighter.

"It's a long story. I've already invited Sister Hongying to join my special team, and the paperwork is signed. So..."

Chen Muyi fell silent for a while before saying quietly, "I know, next time something like this happens, don't forget to let me know in advance. I'm going to deal with the mystery now, bye."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Lin Xiao listened to the dial tone and handed the phone back to Hong Ying: "It's done."

He turned to Zhou Ping: "Just settle in comfortably. This villa is really a bit empty with only Hongying and me here."

Zhou Ping hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Lin Xiao stretched and stood up, taking Hongying's hand as they walked towards the door: "Take your time choosing a room. I still need to teach those new recruits swordsmanship."

After you've chosen your room, you can come and take a look if you're interested. I can introduce you to some new friends.

Zhou Ping hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed: "Okay, I'll go take a look as soon as I'm ready."

Hongying stopped and tugged at Lin Xiao's sleeve: "Little brother, you're training the new recruits, what am I supposed to do there?"

Lin Xiao gently pinched her waist: "Of course, you're here to see my handsome and dashing figure."

You didn't see how I single-handedly and without taking any damage defeated six of this year's top recruits a couple of days ago, otherwise you'd be even more obsessed with me.

Hongying's cheeks flushed slightly, and she gently twisted his waist: "You little brat, you're so narcissistic. But I've already..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Xiao kissed her on the cheek and whispered, "I'll make you love me even more in the future."

Hongying looked deeply into his eyes, gently stroking his face, her eyes filled with love: "You are the one I love most right now."

Lin Xiao smiled, rubbed her waist, and walked towards the training ground.
