Why did you provoke me?

Yu Meng fiddled with the communication bell in her hand, and Nian Nian peeked out.

"No, Fourth Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"It's just like what you see." Yu Meng didn't even look up, still fiddling with the communication bell in her hand.

Niannian squeezed into Yu Meng's chair, leaning her back against her.

"Fourth sister, dear sister, you will always be my dear sister."

"Um."

"So I'm going to get the same treatment as the eldest sister?"

"Um."

"You agreed." Niannian stood up abruptly.

"Um."

Niannian patted her little chest. "Then I'm relieved."

Yu Meng looked up at her. "What do you mean, 're relieved'?"

"That's your own sister, you wouldn't sell her off, would you?" Niannian asked with a very serious expression.

"She's already married," Yu Meng said, suppressing a laugh.

"Then I'll get married when I grow up too." Niannian frowned.

Yu Meng finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Niannian looked at Yu Meng. "Does Fourth Sister not agree to my marriage?"

Yu Meng laughed until tears streamed down her face.

She pulled Niannian in front of her. "Come on, take a closer look. Why are you so timid?"

Niannian stared at the messages on the intercom and shuddered. "Fourth Sister, how did you do that?"

"You're not in my position, so you don't think about these things, but I can't. One wrong decision of mine can determine the fate of many people."

"Isn't Fourth Sister working very hard?" Niannian hugged Yu Meng's arm.

"So you need to grow up quickly so you can help me relieve some of the pressure. Just keep this to yourself, but don't tell anyone, or the consequences will be unimaginable."

"You let me know about something so important. If something happens in the future, will you suspect me first?" Niannian asked, pouting.

"I'm telling you, you're already in my grasp. I'll see if you can escape," Yu Meng said, blinking and feigning seriousness.

"Who wants to climb out? Do you think I'm that stupid? Why would I turn down a readily available powerful figure and go wander outside on my own? I'll suffer if I don't want to."

Yu Meng shoved her communication bell into Niannian's hand. "Take a closer look. It's not what you think. I'm not some kind of pervert."

"Can I really see it?" Niannian raised her hand to indicate.

"Can you really relax without seeing me?" Yu Meng rolled her eyes.

"That's true." Niannian quieted down and began to carefully examine Yu Meng's communication bell.

After a long while, Niannian finally raised her head.

She handed the communication bell to Yu Meng. "I thought..." Nian Nian smiled ingratiatingly.

"I thought I could monitor everyone," Yu Meng finished her sentence for her.

"It was my ignorance, and my petty actions. Fourth Sister, please don't blame me." Niannian knelt on Yu Meng's shoulder in a flattering manner.

"Actually, your voicemail can also find out these things," Yu Meng slowly dropped a bombshell.

Nian Nian's hand, which was massaging her shoulders, paused for a moment. "What did you say?"

Yu Meng gestured for her to turn on the intercom and take a look.

Niannian's hands were trembling, and her voice was trembling with sobs. "Fourth Sister, this is too much! I still want to live a carefree life. I don't want to be treated like a slave."

"Yes, you are free. We didn't make you work like a beast of burden."

He kept muttering to himself as he looked at his communication bell.

Yu Meng didn't bother her. The best allies not only share interests, but also their secrets.

After reading it, Niannian stood up unsteadily. "I'm going back. I'm going to make good use of this good leverage."

Yu Meng raised an eyebrow, her reaction suggesting, "Don't be too ostentatious."

Niannian waved her hand, "I know my limits."

Jia Daoyi returned to his residence and looked at the young man in front of him. "Go and find out where Jia Chunfeng and his son are."

He sat by the window, looking at the empty courtyard outside, his eyes calm, but deep within them were dark and brooding, like a poisoned knife.

The door opened, but he didn't turn around. A voice sounded behind him, "They left two days ago, saying they were going to find someone to treat their mother."

"Find them and take them under control."

The young man responded and turned to leave.

"Have someone keep an eye on that bone-drawing artist's every move; I need to know every word they say."

"Yes. I'll take care of it right away." This time, the young man really left.

Jia Daoyi took out his communication bell and it took him a while to turn it on. "Send someone to the first battlefield. Lin Zi appeared there and then disappeared."

Jia Daoyi held the communication bell in his hand. It was given to him by Yu Meng. She gave him five in total, and he had the family's bone-painting master make a replica, but one of them was ruined.

He had no choice but to distribute the remaining four to important members of his family. But now he was a little unsure if they could still use them.

Jia Daoyi stared silently at the communication bell in his hand. After a long while, he sighed. Since he arrived here, he had sighed much more often. Without it, he couldn't contact his other clansmen; but using it, he was simply too worried.

Secretary Wu found Xiao Wen and Yan Lei and told them about the importance of the dense forest.

"What should we do now? If the news gets out, will the club be in danger?" Xiao Wen asked anxiously.

"Teacher Yu said that the guild hall is just a residence, and it can be rebuilt even if it is destroyed. The key is you. If someone targets you, you will be in great danger."

Yan Lei sighed, "I'm suddenly a little grateful to those people. We're almost afraid to look at ourselves, and yet someone still recognizes us?"

"You didn't keep your names secret when you were talking," Secretary Wu said helplessly, who knew this would happen.

"So what are your plans for today?"

Secretary Wu glanced at them. "Of course, I'm here to save your lives."

"How can we save him?" Xiao Wen's eyes were fixed on Secretary Wu.

"You'll have to disappear for a while, or change your names." Secretary Wu looked at Xiao Wen sternly. "This is serious; you must leave here as soon as possible."

"Why?" Yan Lei scratched his head.

"I remember you said that a force entered the alien battlefield, and all other forces were avoiding them. What they were looking for was this dense forest." Secretary Wu knew that they needed a legitimate reason to let them leave.

"But does it have to be that we all have to leave?" Yan Lei still didn't want to leave.

Secretary Wu sighed. "Do you know who the people currently living in our clubhouse are?"

Xiao Wen and Yan Lei both looked at him.

"It's the Jia family, a reclusive clan. They know this news; do you think they can still keep it a secret? What else can you do if you don't leave?"

"What secrets does that forest hold?" Xiao Wen asked, getting straight to the point.

"It's said there's something that can cure the alien parasite," Secretary Wu said without hiding anything. "And you're the only ones who went in and came out."

"But what about Jingyi and..." Yan Lei muttered. Before he could finish, Xiao Wen interrupted him. "Currently, their fate is unknown."

"I understand," Yan Lei said sullenly.

"We will follow whatever arrangements Teacher Yu makes," Xiao Wen said crisply.

Secretary Wu nodded. "Teacher Yu wants you to split up and go find Yan Lei's uncle."

"What?" Xiao Wen and Yan Lei were both surprised.
