Min Yuan clenched his fists nervously, his eyes moving back and forth between the faces of Yu Zhesen and An He behind him. He was secretly prepared to immediately activate his space transfer ability to help Jane retreat if they still attacked Jane.
An He also changed into a posture of standing with his arms folded. Obviously this was a reaction to Jane's still "preconditional declaration of war" remarks. She was ready to start a battle and was only waiting for Yu Zhesen to express his stance.
However, neither Jian Yiran, who proposed a "declaration of war", nor Yu Zhesen, who was in close confrontation with him, showed any defensive posture towards each other.
They still stood and looked at each other as they usually did when they were on a mission together.
"I seem to have nothing more to say." Yu Zhesen pointed the toes of his left foot on the ground and spun slightly, "You can go."
"Then I'll leave my cat to senior." Jane still raised the palm of her right hand, letting Yu Zhesen see a silver thread growing out of thin air from the tip of her middle finger.
Then, she cut off the silver wire with a stroke of the nail of her other hand.
"This way I will have no contact with that little guy, senior can rest assured."
Yu Zhesen asked: "So it was you who attacked Wu Xiaoming that night?"
Jane still smiled: "That was our first confrontation. In fact, I left a loophole at that time. Don't you remember that cat?"
"Stray cats in the city all look the same with the same color and pattern."
"That's because you are blind." Jane still smiled, "If you had observed more carefully, you might have discovered my identity earlier."
Yu Zhesen was slightly startled, and pursed his lips in a self-deprecating tone: "Maybe."
Jane still had her hands behind her back, and her ten fingers were twisted together behind her back. She stepped back in small steps and moved closer to Min Yuan.
But after taking a few steps back, Jane suddenly stepped forward again, with a much larger range of movement than when she stepped back.
Under the gaze of Min Yuan and An He, she gave Yu Zhesen a hug.
"Senior, the mountains will remain green and the waters will flow forever. I hope we will see you again one day." Jane still held her head high as she spoke, her eyes sparkling.
Yu Zhesen was noncommittal about this. He thought that because of their different positions, it was very likely that they would meet as enemies again, so he did not have much expectation of "goodbye".
However, the emotions Jane still showed at this time were very sincere and sincere. Yu Zhesen was slightly touched by it, but he did not express his concerns directly without looking shameful.
Jian Yiran understood his worries from his expression, and then said: "What I want to express is that if one day in the future, senior is no longer needed by you, there will still be a place for you on my ship.
.”
"Are you planning to go back and inherit Friedheim's mantle and become the leader of Ark?" Yu Zhesen smiled, "Don't you think you are too young? Can you convince the public?"
"Do I have to be the leader of Ark to accept you?" Jane still let go of her hand, "You don't know much about the true nature of the sect. If there is a chance in the future..."
"I don't want to have this kind of opportunity, it's best not to have it." Yu Zhesen interrupted her, "But if you become the leader of the next generation of Ark, I would be quite happy to see it."
Jane still narrowed her eyes: "Because Jane is not your opponent, so becoming the leader of Ark poses no threat to you, so you are happy to see it?"
"No, it's because I think your experience in Seven Islands City will help you reduce the risk of renewed war between the two sides after you become the leader of Ark." Yu Zhesen looked serious, "To be honest, I don't know Friedheim at all.
I don’t have much confidence, it’s not that I can’t trust him as a person, but I think he is a bit old.”
The expressions of Jian Yiran and Min Yuan both changed. The former showed a hint of sadness after being surprised, while the latter showed thoughts and worries.
Speaking of which, although Friedheim was old, he had always been a energetic old man, but since the failure to rescue Fu Zhaohai, he seemed to have been hit hard, and he felt a lot tired.
But Jane still didn't blame Yu Zhesen and said it was his problem. She thought she hadn't gone so far as to be hypocritical.
Even if the deterioration of Friedheim's physical condition has something to do with Yu Zhesen, it is still caused by the confrontation between the two armies. The soldiers of the sect are never afraid of sacrifice.
"Teacher should be able to hold on for a while. I believe he will fulfill his promise to you."
"What about the hearts of the people on the ark? Did your teacher win the hearts of the people?"
Jane still hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "This is our internal secret, I can't reveal it to you."
"If Friedheim is very popular, you should be able to say it frankly. I understand, you also have many internal problems." Yu Zhesen said with a teasing look on his face, "So Jane, you'd better not think so far ahead, be good
Think about the matter before you and how you can help your teacher hold the scepter steady on the ark."
Jane still hesitated to speak, and finally nodded.
She actually wanted to tell Yu Zhesen that she had had that idea a long time ago - hoping to get his help in the internal struggle of Ark.
However, having regained her status as a high-ranking priest, she could not allow herself to show weakness in such a way. Even if she still called her "senior", she had subconsciously drawn a clear line between them.
"Min Yuan, let's go."
Min Yuan raised his hand to open the cross-shaped space transfer crack. Jane still stood in front of the crack and bowed to Yu Zhesen one last time, then turned around and stepped into the black space gap with Min Yuan.
The black cross shrank and flashed, engulfing their figures and disappearing completely.
Yu Zhesen exhaled a long breath, and his body was no longer upright.
An He came up from behind and handed over the unpacked protein energy bars and purified water taken from the car: "Replenish your strength? You have been floating on the sea for a long time, right?"
"fine."
"It turns out that you are also a person who doesn't mean what you say." An He said jokingly from the side, "You obviously want to keep her, but you are unwilling to express it seriously."
"Maybe it's better for her."
"Have you started to think about helping the enemy? If dad knew about it, he would be mad."
"So don't let Lao An know." Yu Zhesen covered his face, "Don't let the instructor know either."
"What about me?" An He tilted his head and said in an interrogating tone: "Don't you consider my feelings? I don't have a good impression of the Returned Christians, especially..."
"Especially?" Yu Zhesen blinked, a little flustered.
"Especially this kind of girl movie where one senior has ten million thoughts." Blue fire appeared in An He's bionic eyes.
Yu Zhesen waved his hands repeatedly: "Wait, wait, theoretically speaking, you should be very clear about my relationship with Xiao Jian!"
"But she also deceived me. This is what makes people angry." An He blew air into his bangs, "I didn't find any problem with that battle experience that was tampered with into a dream...
