Chapter 46 Is the headquarters your family's business?
Lin Qiye gripped Wang Fang's wrist tightly; he never wanted to experience that feeling of regaining what he had lost again. For this moment, he wanted to forget everything about the Night Watchmen and the mental hospital.
"Seven Nights, now that your family is reunited, I'll be taking my leave first."
"Where are you going? Cangnan is gone, and it can't be rebuilt anytime soon. Besides, aren't you curious about Kunlun Mountain? That's the immortal realm where the gods of the Great Xia Dynasty reside. Why don't you come with us?"
Lin Qiye had no intention of letting An Qingyu leave. An Qingyu had helped him at the most crucial moment and had just protected her aunt. Naturally, he didn't want An Qingyu to go back to the sewers and live a timid life.
“Your Forbidden Ruins are unique; I think you’ll be interested in Kunlun Ruins.”
Yang Jian also spoke up to persuade her, and he knew even better than Lin Qiye how much An Qingyu had taken care of Wang Fang over the past year.
"All right!"
Kunlun Ruins, the Great Xia Divine Realm—it would be impossible for An Qingyu to have no interest in it. Both Lin Qiye and his brother had invited him, so he certainly wouldn't be coy and refuse.
When Lin Qiye's family set off to leave Cangnan, Ling Yunxiao and his group were still on the plane.
Two hours later, Ling Yunxiao was still unconscious and could only be accompanied by the Masked Squad to the lounge of the headquarters reception hall.
After Ye Fan and his men left, only the entire Masked Squad remained in the rest room. Ling Yunxiao slowly opened his eyes, and amidst everyone's worried gazes, he sat up with a smile.
"I'm fine, I feel much better after a good night's sleep. Everyone, I have a favor to ask of you."
"You said."
Wang Mian looked at him quietly, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.
"I want to leave the Masked Squad and form my own squad."
Ling Yunxiao's voice was calm, but everyone's expression changed. Only Wang Mian showed an "I knew it" look. He sighed and nodded. It's normal for children to grow up and leave home.
"Although we are reluctant to see you go, now that you have thought it through, we support all your decisions."
“Uh… Captain, I want you to leave the Masked Squad with me. Come join my 005 Squad and continue to be the captain.”
After Ling Yunxiao finished speaking, an eerie silence fell over the lounge. Wang Mian was somewhat tempted, but he was worried about the other members of the Masked Squad. If he and Ling Yunxiao both left, their safety might not be guaranteed.
"I will apply to have Chen Muyi or Wu Xiangnan join the Masked Squad. As for who will be the captain in the future, it depends on what you two, Tianping and Yuegui, think."
Ling Yunxiao continued speaking after a moment of silence. After finishing, he looked up at the king.
"I want to lead a team into the mist. The destruction of Cangnan must be avenged. The Temple of the Gods, Asgard, Olympus... I don't want to let any of them go."
"Captain, go ahead!"
"Don't worry, we can take care of ourselves."
"If you leave, I'll be the captain. I won't refuse such a good thing."
The members of the Masked Squad were the first to speak. Hearing Ling Yunxiao's reasoning, they understood that entering the mist would likely only be a hindrance. Therefore, they chose to give up trying to stop him and allow their captain and Ling Yunxiao to succeed.
"We still need headquarters' approval before we can discuss this matter."
Wang finally spoke. He was somewhat tempted, but he also couldn't let go of his teammates in the Masked Squad, so he was still struggling with his decision.
Ling Yunxiao didn't say anything more, got up and walked out of the lounge. Soon someone led him into Ye Fan's office.
After knocking and entering, Ling Yunxiao discovered that besides Ye Fan, Zuo Qing and Tianzun were also there.
The three of them seemed to be waiting for him. Ling Yunxiao bowed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed, before sitting down.
"This is your Starry Sea Medal. As for the awarding ceremony, it will probably take another two days."
After Zuo Qing finished speaking, he took out a small black box and handed it to Ling Yunxiao.
"Isn't your headquarters going to produce anything of substance?"
To everyone's surprise, Ling Yunxiao didn't seem particularly moved by the medal. He casually placed the medal box on the table in front of him; he'd seen far too many empty promises before. He then looked up at Ye Fan.
“You did a really good job this time. You saved Cangnan, repelled two gods, and even killed Loki. So tell us what you want, and we will do our best to fulfill it.”
Ye Fan blushed under the gaze and immediately spoke up to express his opinion.
"I want to build a special squad to venture into the mist and seek revenge against the Outer Gods."
As for the entire squad, I want Wang Mian as captain, Wu Tongxuan as vice-captain, and Si Xiaonan and Leng Xuan from the original 136th squad, and Han Shaoyun from the fasting camp. The six of us will suffice. The dispatch order, paperwork, and the tools and armor for the voyage will be handed over to headquarters.
(Author's note: I'm begging for help from kind souls to come up with a team name. I've been thinking about it for three days and I've lost a lot of hair. I'm terrible at naming things, please help me, I'm waiting online, it's urgent...)
"Do you think the headquarters is your private property?"
A special squad leader and a special squad vice-leader. And those two from Squad 136, one is now a god, and the other a high-risk sequence god's agent! And that Han Shaoyun, you know he's still in the fasting center!
Why didn't you suggest that Zhou Ping and Lu Wuwei come out with you too?
Zuo Qing wanted to slam his fist on the table right then and there. Other people formed special teams by recruiting their own people or by gradually building them up from their friends in the recruit camp. How could Ling Yunxiao do that, by taking orders from headquarters and selecting the best people to recruit?
Ye Fan's expression was not good either, but the Heavenly Venerable was smiling kindly, as if it were none of his business.
"As for whether they agree or not, I will negotiate. It's not entirely up to you to issue an order to arrest people!"
Ling Yunxiao scratched his head helplessly, wondering if he hadn't explained himself clearly.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Zuo Qing and Ye Fan shook their heads simultaneously; they had to take responsibility for the mask and the medium.
"Send Chen Muyi or Wu Xiangnan to the Masked Sect; that's enough to deal with the inland supernatural beings. Now that the Great Xia gods are about to return, we need someone overseas to teach those outer gods to behave themselves..."
"There is a cult overseas! Your abilities are extremely important, so don't even think about going overseas."
Ye Fan interrupted Ling Yunxiao, still firmly opposing the idea.
Ling Yunxiao had no choice but to unleash his ultimate move.
"You know that I participated in the war of the gods. You also know that I can obtain a kind of energy by killing the supernatural and the Outer Gods."
Now I want to say that it takes 70 energy points to revive someone below the Klein realm, and 30 energy points to add ten years to anyone's lifespan. Reviving someone at the Klein realm would take about 1500 energy points. As for those above, Du Ziren assisted in saving Si Xiaonan, which only cost 1000 energy points at the time.
In the East Sea and the Snow Mountain, I repelled two Outer Gods of Olympus, gaining 150 million energy points from each. Defeating Indra and Loki each yielded 250 million energy points.
"Do the math, if I used that energy in Great Xia, how many people could I save..."
