Chapter 1221: The Sudden Arrival of Two Women

~5 min read 977 words

After agreeing to Noah's request to join the team, Ning Chen left directly without caring about the massive bomb he had dropped on everyone.

The sun outside was very bright; stepping out suddenly, Ning Chen squinted his eyes, somewhat unaccustomed to it.

Everyone followed Ning Chen out.

Tianze stepped forward to open the car door, then turned to report to Ning Chen: "The Elder and Noah need to talk for a while; I'll take everyone back first."

Ning Chen nodded, first helping Gu Yanqi into the car, then getting in himself.

Inside the car, it was silent; Lin Yi felt conflicted, really wanting to ask Brother Ning why he let Noah join them.

It wasn't just Lin Yi who was puzzled; the others were equally confused.

Xu Yue poked Lin Yi's shoulder, signaling him to blink, signaling him.

"Ahem, Brother Ning, why did you agree to let that man in?"

"He has no other intentions, and besides, having him join is more beneficial than harmful to us."

Hearing this, the group asked no more; since Brother Ning said so, there must be his reasons.

The car stopped outside the villa; Ning Chen got out, led everyone back to the villa, while Tianze went to receive the Elder and Noah.

Entering the villa gate, Ning Chen immediately sensed something was wrong; besides them, it seemed there were others here.

Ning Chen led the people in without showing any emotion, seeing two young ladies standing just inside the villa's outer door, seemingly talking about something.

"Who are these people?" Lin Yi looked at the two, completely baffled; what was this situation?

Ning Chen said nothing, but the two women in front of the house looked over; upon seeing the group, they acted extremely excited and hurriedly ran toward them.

One of the girls even couldn't brake in time, crashing into Ning Chen.

Ning Chen frowned, shifted slightly to the side, and dodged the girl's embrace.

The girl was stopped by her companion with quick eyes and hands, so she didn't make a fool of herself in front of everyone.

"Hey, I say you, didn't you see Ruanruan almost falling? You didn't even help stop her?" The girl who helped looked very fiery-tempered and directly threw mud on Ning Chen.

"Xiaoling, forget it." Mu Xinruan tugged the girl's hem, soft and timid, looking like a coward.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoling got even angrier; no matter how you looked at it, Ruanruan had been bullied!

Lin Yiyi, standing nearby, hearing this woman's words like a shrew, was instantly furious.

"I say you, what's your name, Xiaoling, right? Didn't you see the girl beside you was 'charging' toward my Brother Ning herself? What, throwing herself at someone, and you can't even let him refuse?"

"You, how can you say that about Ruanruan! You are too vicious!" Lin Xiaoling never expected that at this moment, they would be spoken to like this.

One of the two possessed a Healing-type ability, the other a Wood-type ability; though both were Intermediate abilities, Healing abilities were rare to begin with, so the two were quite popular in this base.

Lin Yi wouldn't indulge so many faults of theirs; throwing a Young Lady's temper at every turn, where in the apocalypse were there so many bad habits?

"I say you two, if you must find your existence in other men's places, don't do it here; also, I tell you, our Brother Ning is already taken, Miss, you should keep yourself pure, and don't just throw yourself at people for no reason."

From another angle, one might not see any problem, but just now, he, along with Huo Jinglin and Xu Yue, saw clearly: the place where that girl ran was flat, not even a stone, so how did she suddenly fall exactly when she reached Brother Ning?

Having her little scheme exposed, Mu Xinruan's face changed for an instant, but quickly recovered; indeed, she had taken a liking to this man at first glance; she could tell this man was very powerful, and most importantly, he looked very good, even better than Noah.

Mu Xinruan adjusted her expression; when she looked up again, it was that soft and weak feeling again: "Y-yes, sorry, it's all my fault, I, I shouldn't have run so fast."

Seeing this appearance like a white lotus, Lin Yi got a headache; having stayed with the kind girls Gu Yanqi and Xu Yue for so long, Lin Yi almost thought all girls in the world were like this.

Just as Lin Yi was about to say something, the sound of a car interrupted him.

There, Tianze got off the car, opened the back door, and the Elder and Noah walked in together.

Seeing the few people standing there, the Elder was somewhat surprised: "Yo, why hasn't anyone gone in yet? Are you welcoming us?"

When his gaze fell on the two girls again, a flash of surprise crossed the Elder's eyes: "How did you two get here?"

It was clear the Elder knew those two people.

Seeing it was the Elder, the two girls hurriedly ran to his side, as if they had found a big thigh.

"Elder, you're finally back; what's wrong with your people? One speaks more harshly than the next." As Lin Xiaoling spoke, she couldn't help but look at Lin Yiyi; at this moment, who she meant was obvious.

The Elder seemed not to hear her insinuation, but smiled and said: "They are all humorous people; you'll know once enough time passes."

Hearing this, the two girls hadn't reacted yet, but Xu Yue was secretly laughing nearby; the Elder's meaning was clear: it wasn't that they bullied her, but that she didn't understand their humor.

"But Elder, just now they..."

Lin Xiaoling wanted to say something more, but the Elder waved his hand, cutting her off, then walked inside.
