Why did you provoke me?

Yu Meng looked at Qing Yuan's expression and wanted to laugh, but couldn't.

Perhaps Qingyuan's concern for Huashulang is also a sweet burden.

She put down her bowl and told her her plan: "Tomorrow I will go to the front line to bring Teacher Sun back. She has been gone for a long time. Let her come back and rest. I will go and broaden my horizons."

"Are you really going? The environment there can't compare to the clubhouse." Nangong Tianshou asked first.

"I gained some insights from this retreat. I need to put them into practice to know where the bottom line is."

"Then there's no need to go to the battlefield, right? I just need to open up the quotas; there are plenty of people," Secretary Wu also advised.

"Uncle Wu, I'm just looking for that boundary, I don't want to sit there looking for aliens for some people in the future."

Qingyuan finally understood. "She's only interested in doing this for a while. If you ask her to do this all the time, she won't have the patience."

Qingyuan wasn't entirely right, but Yu Meng didn't refute her. Her level had reached the highest, yet she still didn't know exactly what she was capable of doing.

Unknown abilities are not her strength; this time, she wants to go deep into the battlefield to test what her lines really are.

But these are her trump cards, and she can't tell outsiders.

All objections were ignored, and the next day, Secretary Wu arranged for a plane to take her there.

Yu Meng didn't want Secretary Wu to go to such lengths, but her objections were ineffective.

When she arrived at the battlefield, Jing San, Jing Wu, and Niannian all came to pick her up.

"Fourth Sister, you're out of seclusion!" Niannian was the happiest.

"How are you? Have you made any progress?"

"A little, but not much," Niannian said, sounding somewhat discouraged.

"Wait a few days, I'll take you inside and see if we can find some opportunities."

Jing San's eyes lit up when she heard this.

"Hey, Teacher Yu, could you take me along? My fighting skills are pretty good."

Although she didn't know Jing San's purpose, it was always better to follow along, so Jing Wu also stepped forward, "With me, it's safer with two people."

Yu Meng looked at Jing San, "Didn't Uncle Wu tell you to go back?"

"Secretary Wu sent me a message, but protecting Teacher Yu is more important, so Secretary Wu asked me to accompany you on the front lines and run errands for you."

That makes a lot of sense, and Yu Meng didn't insist.

Teacher Sun's residence was quite far from the exit; it was the first rest stop for the supply teams after they came out. Teacher Sun would treat the most severely infected parasites, but the cost was very high.

This is what Yu Meng meant; this point is about saving lives, not just providing treatment in the ordinary sense.

Along the way, only Niannian and Yumeng talked quietly, while Jing San and Jing Wu followed silently behind.

Jingwu is here because his fifth group members are here to learn the craft of peeling dough and making beads.

Yu Meng asked Niannian if there was a bright spot in her brain.

Niannian nodded, "There is one, but it's not that bright."

Yu Meng told her that was the key to advancing, but it required a great deal of ability, more than you could imagine.

Niannian was clever; she understood Yu Meng's meaning from those words. So she asked softly, "Fourth Sister, you've made contact with her?"

Yu Meng paused for a moment, not telling the truth. "It should be soon, but in the end, it depends on whether there's the right opportunity."

"Opportunity?" Niannian muttered softly, "Too difficult. Who knows where opportunity lies, and who knows what kind of opportunity it might be?"

"Niannian, you've been too tense lately. Being too fixated on some things makes it hard to let go," Yu Meng advised.

Niannian kept her head down and didn't speak. She couldn't say that she had tried so hard, yet still couldn't keep up with her fourth sister. If she didn't try, her fourth sister would abandon her.

Although Yu Meng didn't know why she was in this state, she still asked, "Do you remember how you became a membrane maker? And how you became a bone painter?"

"Of course I remember. Back then, I didn't think about anything, I just practiced and practiced with my older sister, and one day you said I had succeeded." Niannian looked at her and smiled.

Niannian looked nostalgic. "Later, I became a bone painter, also following Fourth Sister at the old house. At that time, I didn't think too much about it. I just practiced every day using what Fourth Sister taught me."

Yu Meng just stared at her, muttering to herself as if she understood something, "Was I too persistent?"

"Cultivation, improving one's strength, requires perseverance. But perseverance is not the same as deliberate effort; you're too eager for quick results. If the water hasn't arrived, the channel won't form."

"Perhaps I'm too eager to keep up with my fourth sister."

"Then forget about this idea and just focus on becoming stronger," Yu Meng advised softly without mocking her.

A commotion drifted over from afar. Yu Meng looked up and saw a large group of people gathered together. Nian Nian spoke up, "It sounds like it's over with Teacher Sun. Has something happened?"

The four quickened their pace, and Jing San strode forward. Three people lay curled up on the ground, their bodies trembling, foaming at the mouth.

Teacher Sun was busy, but there were too many patients for her to attend to all at once. Meanwhile, the people around her were still arguing about who should go first.

"This is my consultation fee, all of it. Please, teacher, save our team leader first. If it's not enough, we'll make up the difference later."

"This is ours. Save our people first, and we'll make up for it double later."

……

After Jing San finished explaining the situation, Niannian looked at Yu Meng and asked, "Fourth Sister, shall I go take a look?"

"Go."

"I'll go too." Jing San squeezed into the crowd as well.

Yu Meng looked at Jing Wu, "Go and find out what happened to them."

"Okay," Jingwu replied softly, then turned and left.

Niannian and Jingsan came to the edge of the crowd. Jingsan shouted, "Quiet down! The bone painter needs a quiet environment. Bring the patients over so they can all receive treatment."

Teacher Sun looked up at Jing San, "Niannian, you're here. Quickly lend a hand. This is the first time I've encountered this kind of alien, and I don't quite understand it."

Niannian rolled up her sleeves. "I'll do it."

Yu Meng stood on the periphery and did not approach, believing that Nian Nian could handle it.

But things took an unexpected turn. Niannian's little gray dog ​​circled the patient several times, but to no avail.

Niannian looked up; she was looking for Yu Meng.

Yu Meng sighed and walked over. "Don't rush, let me take a look."

When another bone-drawing artist arrived, everyone around quieted down.

Yu Meng's right eye darted around, and she was also taken aback; she had never seen such an alien creature before.

Teacher Sun walked over, her expression very serious. "I'm not confident I can remove the entire alien. If there are any remnants, I don't know what the consequences will be."

Yu Meng patted Teacher Sun's arm, "I'll take over. You guys get ready to receive him."

Jing San stepped forward as well, "Teacher Yu, I can absorb energy too."

"Fourth Sister, what state should we keep it at?" Niannian's eyes lit up. By absorbing energy, her lines would become stronger.

"Two-thirds, or more if that's not enough."

Yu Meng didn't use the little black cat or the Overlord. She only used her own spirit-enhanced lines. It wasn't that she was bullying the alien; this was already the weakest of her lines.
