Why did you provoke me?

Jing San returned quickly. "I've notified everyone. When are we leaving?" Jing Er followed behind him.

These past few days, he'd felt too embarrassed to compete with those people, after all, they kept calling him "Third Brother." Jing Er felt the same way; the moment he uttered the title "Senior Brother," he felt his legs tremble.

Upon hearing the news brought by Jing San, he came over to confirm it.

"Let's go in several batches. We've received orders from above to ensure the safety of the fourth battlefield."

"Is it just our family?" Jing San asked.

"Yes, it's just our family." Yu Meng nodded affirmatively.

"Did Mr. Feng offend someone?" Jing San asked in a low voice.

Jing Er and Niannian both looked at him. "We, Jingchuan, are just a small force in a remote place. How can we guarantee the safety of a battlefield? This is either being targeted or someone is causing trouble."

Yu Meng nodded secretly; this person really has a sharp mind!

"The reason doesn't matter; we have to go if the higher-ups tell us to. We can't make demands." Yu Meng didn't explain the reason.

Niannian pulled Jingsan aside. "Uncle Wu said that a research institute from the front lines came to ask for management rights of the Fourth Battlefield, and now they're making us guarantee its security. I think it's their doing, trying to make us work for free." Niannian's accusation was very smooth.

"That's right. I wonder who has such a big appetite, and isn't afraid of overeating." Jing San clenched her fists, her eyes sinister.

Seeing Jing San's gaze, Jing Er took a step back. Who was he plotting against now? He thought about his recent behavior and realized he hadn't offended him.

Jing San came back again. "Teacher Yu, my men will go first to check things out."

Jing Er stepped forward, but before he could speak, Jing San interrupted him, "Just because you're strong doesn't mean your team members are strong. You're in the second batch."

Alright, no need for Meng to open her mouth, Jing San has already arranged everything.

Niannian glared at Jing San, "Fourth Sister hasn't said anything yet, what's your hurry?"

Jing San glanced at Niannian, then at Yu Meng, her voice lowering, "I'm just anxious, aren't I?"

"Hmph, you can't rush it."

Niannian reached for Yu Meng's hand, "Fourth Sister, what did you say?"

Yu Meng smiled, "Niannian, I don't understand these things either, but Jing San's arrangement is quite good."

"Fourth Sister, let's go together."

Yu Meng shook her head. "You guys go first, I need to go somewhere else."

"I'll go with you," Niannian said hurriedly.

"We need someone to hold the line on the fourth front. If we both leave, what will happen there?"

Niannian pouted, "We weren't here all this time, but nothing happened. Besides, wasn't Sister Yan here?"

"You know she doesn't even dare to go into battle."

"What a hassle." Niannian kicked the ground with her foot to express her unhappiness.

"Alright, it's decided then. You're leaving tonight, and the three of you will be in charge of these people. You can discuss the details yourselves."

Jing Er and Jing San agreed and went to make preparations.

Niannian clung to Yu Meng's side, saying, "Fourth Sister, are you sure you can manage on your own? Why don't you take me with you?"

"I won't run away if things get tough." Yu Meng glanced at her. "You also have a mission to take on the fourth battlefield."

"I know, isn't it just about ensuring the safety of the fourth battlefield?" Niannian said reluctantly.

"Who's talking about that? How can our small force guarantee the safety of that battlefield? What I'm telling you is to make sure those celestial pets don't infect our people."

Niannian jumped up, "Fourth Sister, what do you know?"

"You still remember Xiao Hong, right? Her lines were from when she came back from the front lines. I've always suspected that the origin of the immortal pets lies on the front lines." Yu Meng looked into the distance.

"You went there mainly to remind us that when things are beyond our control, our own safety is the most important thing."

Niannian asked in a low voice, "Wouldn't that make us deserters?"

Yu Meng rolled her eyes at her. "When you encounter danger, isn't running away the normal procedure? We're just a civilian organization, we don't have that many rules."

Niannian chuckled, "I'll remember. Fourth Sister, don't worry, I won't be the first to run away."

Yu Meng tapped her forehead, "Be smart, stick with Jing San, and tell him not to cause trouble either. We can't attract too much attention right now."

"Okay, Fourth Sister, you're so long-winded. Um, isn't the Fourth Battlefield under Mr. Feng's control? We'll listen to him when we get there." She then winked.

That night, Yu Meng left first, and no one knew where she went.

Jing San secretly asked Niannian, who shook her head. "Fourth Sister only said the matter was important, but didn't say what it was. And she didn't even take me with her, that's too much." Niannian complained a few more times after she finished speaking.

Jing San quickly comforted her, "Teacher Yu is so capable. If we go with her, we'll only be a hindrance. Do you want to be a burden to her?"

Niannian raised her hand and slapped Jing San, "You're the one who's dragging us down. I'm strong too, okay?"

"Of course I know you're strong. This time, let's do something big. Trying to outmaneuver us? There's no way you'll get away with that."

"Don't! Fourth Sister specifically told you to behave yourself. If you cause any more trouble, Fourth Sister won't let you off the hook." Niannian tapped Jing San's arm. "Remember that. Don't cause trouble."

Jing nodded, "I'll do whatever you say."

He glanced around, lowered his head, and asked in a low voice, "You've heard about Mr. Feng, haven't you? He's a ruthless man. Do you think he'd let anyone scheme against him? This time, all we have to do is cooperate with him; we don't need to lift a finger."

Like Jing San, Niannian lowered her head slightly. "We can make a little noise when the time comes, and he should turn a blind eye."

Jing San stared at Niannian for a long time without saying a word, her eyes conveying a clear message: "Then why did you say those things about me just now?"

Niannian raised her chin slightly, as if she hadn't seen me.

Jing San chuckled softly, "You really are a hypocrite."

"Hmph, if you hadn't taken it upon yourself to use the Fourth Battlefield as payment for treatment, we wouldn't be in this mess now. You have a criminal record, but I'm not like you; I'm completely innocent." Nian Nian's twisted logic was unmistakable.

The two chatted and laughed, showing no signs of the tension or unease they felt on the alien battlefield.

Nangong Tianjing received a message from Secretary Wu that Jing Er, Jing San, and Jing Si would be heading to the Fourth Battlefield one after another. He was asked to prepare accommodations for them, as it would be their first time traveling such a long distance, and he was asked to help take care of them.

Nangong Tianshou got angry. "Are you treating me like an outsider? Helping to take care of me?"

Secretary Wu hurriedly apologized, "That's not what I meant. You know their backgrounds; they're all lawless people. I was just worried they'd cause trouble, and then we'd all be in trouble."

Secretary Wu quickly changed his tone and said "we".

"Where's Yu Meng? Isn't she coming?"

"I don't know Teacher Yu's whereabouts, but Nian Nian will go there. You know her personality; she can turn a small matter into a big one. You should try to persuade her to stay away."

Nangong Tianshou remained silent for a long time before replying to Secretary Wu, "I can't handle this matter, and she won't listen to me anyway."

Secretary Wu sighed as he looked at the message. "You have to treat me like an outsider. Look, this is a potentially offensive matter, so I've already turned it down."
