Armor Guardians

"Indeed, once some things are done... it's hard to stop them, and you have to bear the consequences."

Seeing that Xia Qianmeng did not choose to shirk her responsibilities after regaining all her memories, Ye Ying was very pleased. She was indeed the girl she had taught.

So, Ye Ying looked into Xia Qianmeng's eyes and made her stance clear: "The situation is different now. I don't know what the consequences will be after you restart Blue Star, but I believe in your kind nature and that you can handle this well. So, if you need any help, you can come to me anytime, or you can bring the entire Black Group to join the Shadow Group now."

"……never mind."

"What, are you still angry?"

Do you think I'm the kind of person who gets angry over trivial things?

"Is not it?"

Xia Qianmeng: "..."

As expected, this silly girl is more fun to play with now. Seeing that Xia Qianmeng finally had nothing to say, Ye Ying stopped teasing her and continued with a serious smile, "Alright, I know you don't want to implicate me, and I respect your decision. Do whatever you want to do. Your master is your support. Your parents are resting in room 203. Would you like to go see them now?"

"Are they awake now?"

"He's not awake."

"How many hours did you sleep?"

"Two or three hours."

"Never mind, let them sleep a little longer."

Looking at the soft sofa next to her, Xia Qianmeng sat down and leaned back comfortably. She hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time.

Although it's just physical relaxation.

"Master, do you have any wine?"

"Have."

Upon hearing that Xia Qianmeng wanted to drink, Ye Ying personally took out a bottle from the warehouse next door. She remembered that she had taught her apprentice to drink for the first time, so she had an inescapable responsibility.

Xia Qianmeng wanted to drink, and Xia Qianxue opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but then she noticed that Xia Qianmeng was looking at the wine in Ye Ying's hand with a nostalgic expression, so she suppressed her impulse and did not stop Xia Qianmeng, choosing instead to quietly keep her company.

Anyway, with her here, nothing unexpected should happen.

Hmm... I guess so.

Being by Xia Qianmeng's side finally filled Xia Qianxue's empty heart. Moreover, Xia Qianmeng was no longer as cold as before. She felt that she had succeeded.

"Would you like some drinks?"

After pouring a glass for himself and Xia Qianmeng, Ye Ying looked at Gao Fei and Xia Qianxue beside him and asked them a question.

"want."

"...I'll have one too."

Seeing that Xia Qianmeng and Gao Fei were both drinking, Xia Qianxue became eager to try it herself, wondering what kind of wine would make Xia Qianmeng make that kind of expression.

And so, Ye Ying poured a glass for each of them.

Now that they had a rare opportunity to sit down and chat, Ye Ying took a sip of wine and continued to remind Xia Qianmeng and Gao Fei. "Your Black Group should stay out of action for now. Wan Qiliu might not dare to attack the Shadow Group headquarters rashly, but that might not be the case for your Black Group. I will have someone expose his various crimes at the National Assembly and try to remove him from his position. By then, our dispute with the Gold Group can be put to rest."

As she spoke, Ye Ying's gaze returned to Xia Qianmeng's face: "Or do you still want to destroy the entire Jin Group base? The only ones who would be happiest would be the mutant beasts; they'd love for us to fight amongst ourselves." "...I don't want that place to continue existing; it makes me keep thinking about bad things."

Hearing Xia Qianmeng's explanation, Ye Ying understood.

"Okay, no snowflake is innocent when an avalanche happens. I was thinking of saying that some people are innocent, but I suddenly realized that I don't seem to have the right to speak for them."

Xia Qianmeng didn't say anything more, but just took another swig of wine in silence.

It tastes just like before. If she hadn't endured those training sessions, what would her life have been like?

As she pondered, Xia Qianmeng turned her gaze to Xia Qianxue, whose face was flushed and who seemed to be struggling with the effects of the alcohol.

Ye Ying noticed this as well and stopped chatting. She just gave Xia Qianmeng a strange smile. She hoped that Xia Qianxue could become Xia Qianmeng's accelerant and also her extinguisher.

This world of young people...she's really getting old.

Gao Fei followed closely behind. Seeing that Xia Qianmeng had finished discussing things, she also had to go and attend to matters concerning the Black Group. The two leaders couldn't just sit idly by.

"You've just been through a major battle, so rest first. I'll let you know if there's anything urgent. Take advantage of this time... cherish this precious moment, because nobody knows what tomorrow might bring."

"I understand."

"As long as you know."

After putting down his wine glass, Gao Fei also left.

And so, only Xia Qianmeng and Xia Qianxue remained in the living room.

At this moment, Xia Qianxue seemed to be a little tipsy, and even though she was tipsy, she still wanted to drink more, pouring herself one cup after another.

Xia Qianmeng saw this but did not stop it.

Suddenly, Xia Qianmeng seemed to see her former self in Xia Qianxue. She knew that Xia Qianxue was actually fully aware of what she was doing despite her seemingly drunken state, but only in this way could she numb herself a little.

After all, keeping everything inside is quite painful.

And so, the remaining wine in the bottle was divided between Xia Qianmeng and Xia Qianxue. Xia Qianmeng stayed with Xia Qianxue; they needed to relax like this.

The last major battle was so big that many people saw the missiles launched by the Kim group from a distance, making it impossible to dispel the rumors.

Helpless, Wan Qiliu had no choice but to personally apologize to the media, shifting all the blame onto Xia Qianmeng's family, the alien beasts, and the foreign forces, the Shadow Group. He claimed that the Golden Group had truly sacrificed a great deal for the country and the world.

Ignorance is bliss, while bystanders see clearly. Wan Qiliu's sayings were indeed useful, successfully attracting some fresh blood to join the Gold Group, with the ambition to defeat all the alien beasts and protect the Blue Star.

As for those members of the Gold Group who were abandoned by Wan Qiliu, they all left the Gold Group without exception, just as Nangong Qingyun had said, without wasting the new life that Nangong Qingyun had helped them gain.

This is roughly how the power structure of the Gold Group has been adjusted. Wan Qiliu caused quite a stir this time, but instead of shaking his position as the leader of the Gold Group, it has also inspired ordinary people to resist the mutant beasts...

However, unbeknownst to them, the dark forces of various countries had successfully infiltrated Country X. The allure of the armor summoner was too great. They couldn't find the exact locations of the Shadow Group and the Black Group, but the Gold Group had always been there.

Don't panic, the computer is back, it will grow back soon.
