Ironclad, died and resurrected, I've decided to go to the mic!

Just as Qi Ye was getting into the conversation, the scene before his eyes suddenly changed without warning.

His perspective suddenly shifted to a higher vantage point, and when he looked down, he saw his familiar black coat.

Where he had been standing, now stood a pink-haired girl.

She was holding her hands up, looking down at her slender fingers.

The expression on his face went from blank to shocked in an instant.

"They switched it back?!"

March 7th looked at himself, somewhat bewildered.

"That's how we switched them back."

Seele looked at her father, who suddenly seemed like a completely different person, with utter bewilderment!

Qiye looked down at her hands, opened and clenched them a few times to make sure all the parts were in the right place.

He raised his head, opened his arms to Xi'er, a smile playing on his lips, and strode forward.

"My dear son! Come here, let Daddy hold you again! This time it's the real deal!"

Seele stood there, watching the dark-haired man walk towards her.

She was stunned for a while until Qi Ye's arms pulled her firmly into his embrace.

It only then did I realize that, although I didn't know how my father had changed bodies again!

But she could still recognize that the person in front of her was her father.

In the corner, Xing squatted on the ground, drawing dense circles in the dust with a baseball bat, muttering to himself:

"If you don't call me auntie, keep drawing circles. I curse you to open empty treasure chests every time you open one."

March 7th stood to the side, watching Qi Ye and hope Er hug each other, and muttered softly:

"Fine, for the sake of your reunion as father and daughter,"

I won't hold it against you for all the lousy things you did with my body before.

At least now I don't have to worry about taking a bath anymore.

The two embraced for a short while.

"Let's get down to business!"

Xi'er broke free from Qi Ye's embrace and rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand.

He quickly regained some of the demeanor expected of the leader of the Earth Fire.

Just as he was about to speak, Qi Ye waved his hand.

"I think we don't need to discuss this important matter."

He pointed at Seele, then at Bronya, who was standing quietly to the side.

"Bronya was originally sent by Cocolia to appease you."

But she's already yours, so why are you trying to persuade her to surrender?

"If our own people are negotiating with each other, who are we talking to?"

The more he talked, the more he felt that his analysis made perfect sense.

He crossed his arms over his chest, and a smug smile curved his lips.

"Besides, you are my daughter."

My daughter is leading a revolution with hundreds of people in the lower districts. How could I, as her father, not support her?

When Uncle Yang comes back, I'll tell him to invite Cocolia down for tea.

When the time comes, you can be the Great Guardian if you want, or let Duck be the one if you don't.

There won't be any sacrifices, isn't this a huge win!

Seele took a deep breath and decided to ignore the rest of the section about dismantling the city walls.

Focus on just one keyword:

"First of all, Dad, can you please stop calling me by my nickname?"

"I don't like the nickname 'Big Brother' anymore, I'm all grown up now!"

"So what should I call you, kid?"

Back then, you were all disheveled and covered in dirt, and I called you "kid," but you didn't mind.

That's because I didn't know my own name back then!

Later, I named myself Xi'er so that people wouldn't call me "boy" anymore.

Seele rolled her eyes, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

Suddenly, Qi Ye changed the subject, leaning forward and lowering his voice, his smile shifting from a shrewd businessman's to a gossipy one:

"Okay, I won't call you by your nickname."

Let's change the subject—tell me, how did you manage to hook up with YaYa?

The Iron Guard Commander, the successor to the Great Guardian, actually willingly became a spy planted by the Fire in Kripper Castle.

"Daughter, your diplomatic skills are far superior to your old man's!"

"What does 'flirting' mean?!"

Seele said somewhat angrily!

"I won over the ducklings when I was in the orphanage!"

It's based on personal charisma! It's based on faith! It's based on shared ideals!

I was in the orphanage at the time, and I saw Bronya being bullied by a group of older children.

So he casually helped her beat those older kids to the ground.

And then we became friends.

Later, she was adopted by Cocolia and grew up to become the commander of the Iron Guard.

She felt that Cocolia's actions were problematic, so she contacted me.

This is called revolutionary friendship! Not flirting!

Bronya walked over from the side and stood in front of Sumiyo.

He neatly clasped his hands in front of his body, bowed slightly, and said:

"Hello, Uncle. I'm Bronya, Seele's best friend."

Please forgive me, Uncle, for my poor attitude when we met before.

Qi Ye glanced at the bowing Iron Guard commander before him, his lips twitching slightly, before turning to look at Xi'er:

"She wasn't like this when she first met us in the upper district."

She stood ramrod straight then, her face radiating businesslike indifference.

Now that he's properly calling me "uncle," that's good. You've made a good friend; he's reliable.

"Of course."

Seele raised her chin, her tone tinged with pride.

"Duck is my best partner."

She was in the upper district, I was in the lower district; with information exchanged between us, nothing could be kept from us.

Bronya nodded, a smile appearing on her face:

"Our cooperation has always been very smooth."

"The tacit understanding was so great that Cocolia had no idea that her successor was communicating with the leader of the Earth Fire every night through encrypted communications."

Qi Ye gave a thumbs up.

"As expected of my daughter, her professional skills, her awareness of confidentiality, and her ability to recruit people are all remarkable."

"My dad's quality was about this when he was selling light cones."

"What you're doing is cheating and swindling," March 7 muttered quietly from the side.

Qi Ye pretended not to hear and turned to hope Er, about to ask her something else.

Seele suddenly seemed to remember something, her brows furrowed, and she turned to look at Swallow.

The large robot's single red eye was quietly blinking in the shadows, seemingly awaiting her command.

"Oh right, speaking of Natasha, Swallow!"

Is there any new information about Natasha?

Schwarzlo opened his mouth:

"Dr. Natasha is currently treating the wounded at the medical station."

But she asked me to tell Leader Seele!

Medical supplies are in short supply and manpower is severely lacking. If there are still people available on the other side of the fire, that would be helpful.

"Send them over immediately to help."

Seele's expression changed immediately.

She turned to look at Qi Ye, her speech noticeably faster than before:

"Dad, there's been a bit of a problem at the medical station, I need to go there."

"You two can wander around the town for a bit. I'll come find you again once Natasha's situation stabilizes."

"Okay, go ahead and do your thing, don't worry about us." Qi Ye waved his hand.

Seele then looked at Bronya, who had already automatically stood beside her.

But his steps clearly indicated that he was ready to set off.

The two exchanged a brief glance, then simultaneously turned and walked towards the medical station.

After walking a few steps, Xi'er suddenly stopped, turned around, and called out to Qi Ye:

"Dad, don't run around!"

Never mind, never mind.

She glanced at the star next to Qiye, who was drawing circles on the ground.

"At least don't make too much noise in the lower areas."

"Don't worry, daughter, you can trust your dad to handle things!" Qi Ye waved to her.

Seele gave him a look that said, "It's precisely because of you that I don't trust you to handle things."

Then he quickly caught up with Bronya, and the two figures soon disappeared around the corner of the mine tunnel.
