For now, the matter was set aside.
It wasn't something they could change anyway.
So Director Yanxi clapped her hands lightly, drawing everyone's attention back.
"Those were the two major events recently."
"This next matter is the main reason I called you all here today."
As she spoke, her solemn gaze slowly shifted—
And landed on Yunli.
So… this was about her?
Yunli couldn't help but feel a trace of curiosity.
"I'm sure everyone here is already aware that Yunli is an Otherworlder."
"Combined with the recent anomalies in Muyun City, the higher-ups have decided to send someone over in a few days."
"They say it's to assist us… and to investigate Yunli's situation along the way."
"Hm… so does that count as good news?"
Mo Xin stroked her chin, speaking as if it were obvious.
"We're getting reinforcements, and Yunli can finally get an official identity?"
Mu Yao nodded beside her, clearly thinking along the same lines.
However—
Chen Yuxuan frowned slightly.
He didn't seem nearly as optimistic.
As for Yunli, the person at the center of it all—
She let out a quiet sigh.
Dealing with official organizations really is troublesome…
From that tone alone, it's obvious they're not coming with good intentions.
Seeing the sudden shift in atmosphere, Mo Xin froze.
A trace of confusion appeared in her eyes.
Director Yanxi then explained calmly,
"It's not that simple."
"Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be a big issue."
"But right now, incidents are occurring frequently."
"Even though there's little detailed information on Otherworlders, confirmed cases do exist."
"At a sensitive time like this, the appearance of a powerful Otherworlder…"
"Will inevitably give certain people an excuse to stir up trouble."
More importantly… I happen to know who's being sent.
"Huh? But why, Sister Yan? Yunli clearly helped you all back then—"
Halfway through, Mo Xin abruptly stopped herself.
But the anger on her face was impossible to hide.
It was like a lit fuse, ready to explode at any moment.
Director Yanxi naturally understood what she hadn't said.
It's practically confirmed to be connected to the Residential Complex incident…
"That's too much!"
"Yunli, let's just quit!"
Mo Xin blurted out without hesitation.
Although she didn't dislike the people in the Ability Bureau—
She absolutely couldn't tolerate Yunli being treated unfairly.
However, Director Yanxi immediately stopped her.
"That won't solve anything."
"It will only make things more complicated."
Hearing this, Mo Xin lowered her head sharply.
Her shoulders trembled slightly, her fingers digging into her palms.
Beside her, Mu Yao hesitated, wanting to comfort her—
But didn't know how.
"Sigh…"
At that moment, Yunli slowly stepped forward.
Standing on her tiptoes, she gently rubbed Mo Xin's head.
Her tone remained calm and indifferent.
"You little girl… instead of worrying about me, you should worry about the people coming."
"When the time comes, Acheron and I wouldn't mind testing their strength."
Her voice carried absolute confidence.
Hearing this—
Mo Xin couldn't help but recall that overwhelming scene.
The towering sword piercing the heavens.
Sword intent surging like a tidal wave.
Mountains trembling, the sun and moon losing their brilliance—
That unforgettable image still lingered in her heart.
Mo Xin (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧: That's right! Yunli is so strong—there's no way she'll lose!
If they go too far, she can just flip the table!
In her mind—
Yunli was invincible.
If the Ability Bureau still insisted on standing against her, then they would simply be asking for trouble.
Once her thoughts settled, and seeing that the discussion had ended—
Mo Xin immediately grabbed Yunli's hand.
"Let's go, Yunli! I'll treat you to candied hawthorn!"
Yunli (＞⤙＜): "Yay!"
And just like that—
The two of them happily left together, completely ignoring the complicated expressions of everyone else.
…
A moment later, Director Yanxi could only press her forehead helplessly.
"I just hope the higher-ups don't do anything stupid…"
"Otherwise, I'll be stuck in the middle cleaning up the mess."
…
"Grandpa, why are you calling me all of a sudden?"
"Little Yue, have you seen the news on the forum recently?"
"Huh? The Extraordinary Forum? I haven't really been paying attention. What happened?"
Hearing her grandfather's question, Liu Xiyue replied blankly.
"You girl, you're usually so active online. How do you not know about something this important?"
"…Sorry. So what exactly happened? Do I need to go deal with someone?"
"As a girl, what kind of talk is that?"
"Forget it. I don't have time to lecture you."
"Go check the forum yourself. It's not something I can explain in just a few words."
"Ah… right now?"
Liu Xiyue blinked in surprise, her hands still moving rapidly across the keyboard.
On the other end, her grandfather paused before replying,
"Hmm… well, if you have time, come back home. We'll talk in person."
With that, the call ended.
Liu Xiyue stared at the disconnected screen, momentarily speechless.
Whatever it was—
It definitely sounded troublesome.
But before she could think further—
A furious voice suddenly exploded through her headset.
"Damn it! Someone's camping the bridge—Hey! Why are you AFK!? You're not throwing the game on purpose, are you!?"
"…Huh? Oh—sorry, I just got a call…"
She hurriedly explained.
However, by the time the match ended—
The voice on the other end had already disappeared.
Her teammate had logged off.
[Great Love Wolf Venerable has gone offline.]
…
Meanwhile, elsewhere—
"Hmph, lost again! My hands feel terrible today…"
"Forget it, I'll take a break… maybe I'll pick up a commission and make some money."
Silver Wolf shut down the game in frustration.
Without bothering about her loose clothing slipping off her shoulders, she leaped straight from her gaming chair onto the soft bed.
The sudden movement startled Little Bai, who had been lying there, sending it bouncing into the air.
This completely unmotivated, shut-in-like image—
Was hard to associate with the infamous Stellaron Hunters currently wanted worldwide.
Of course, Silver Wolf was somewhat aware of the situation online.
But—
She didn't care much.
Are you kidding? Compared to being wanted by the IPC across the universe, this is nothing.
As for the account she left on the forum—
That was purely for earning a bit of extra pocket money.
After all, she still had debts to repay Acheron.
Knock, knock, knock!
Suddenly, a series of urgent knocks sounded at the door.
Silver Wolf casually adjusted her clothes, pulling the collar up to cover her shoulders.
Then she walked over and opened the door.
"Silver Wolf, I really didn't mean it earlier! Please don't ignore me!"
A petite figure rushed inside like a gust of wind, arms wide open as she lunged forward.
But Silver Wolf simply sidestepped slightly—
Effortlessly dodging the incoming hug.
The visitor—
Was none other than Liu Xiyue.
The two of them lived in the same apartment building.
And not long ago—
They had been gaming together as usual.
The result…
[Do you even know how to play? Are you throwing on purpose?]
[It was just a mistake! Even if it wasn't—so what?]
[(ꐦÒ‸Ó) Just you wait!]
[Heh. What can you do? Come through the screen and hit me if you dare!]
