Chapter 298: The First Conflict

The more I think about it, the more I feel this phrase is fitting.

I had intended for Zhixin to prove that Queen Kaisha's identity was fake, but then...

Not only was Queen Kaisha's identity real, but Zhixin also stayed behind; it is no exaggeration to say that with Zhixin remaining by Queen Kaisha's side, it was tantamount to the Black Cleaver squad losing half their life.

Do not forget, Zhixin became the Sacred Right Wing at only 500 years old and is also a disciple of the Tianji King Hexi; she is no lightweight.

Without Zhixin's help, Ge Xiaolun's Void Core would never have appeared at all.

"No, Zhixin!" The ease in Zhao Xin's voice was gone, replaced by a wave of panic.

"I do understand you, but what about me?"

"This... we are about to be separated by distance; are you really willing to part with me?"

Zhao Xin's words caused hesitation to appear on Zhixin's face.

After a brief silence, Zhixin said: "Zhao Xin, how about this, you come over with me."

"That way, the two of us won't have to live apart and can always be together! I believe Queen Kaisha will agree."

Once these words were spoken, Zhao Xin was dumbfounded.

This situation is truly becoming more and more complicated.

If he stays in the Black Cleaver squad, he has to lose his wife.

But if he wants to go with his wife, he has to give up the Black Cleaver squad.

On one side is his wife, and on the other are his good brothers.

It is truly a difficult dilemma.

And Ge Xiaolun had not expected such a situation to occur.

They were just verifying a truth, so how did it end up costing a brother his wife?

For a moment, he did not know how to handle it either.

Watching the situation before him, Ye Cang looked on with interest.

As for stepping in to solve it?

Sorry, this is an internal matter of the Black Cleaver squad; what does it have to do with him?

After a full few minutes of silence.

Ge Xiaolun spoke first.

"Brother Xin, you have seen the current situation of the Black Cleaver squad; if you leave now, then..."

Zhao Xin sighed in distress.

"Sigh, Xiao Lun, I know, but I am also in a difficult position."

"Zhixin and I... oh my..."

As he spoke, the unable-to-decide Zhao Xin could not help but cover his forehead and sigh.

"The matter is just about finished now," Ye Cang, sitting on the throne, suddenly said.

"I wonder if you Black Cleaver squad members could leave my Heavenly Blade 7?"

"You can go back and discuss whatever matters you have."

"Of course, if you want to hitch a ride, that is also fine; I am not that petty."

Ye Cang's words sounded very unpleasant to Ge Xiaolun.

What does he mean by "his" Heavenly Blade 7?

But with Queen Kaisha sitting in his arms, there really is no problem with calling it his Heavenly Blade 7.

Taking a deep breath, Ge Xiaolun did not say anything more and turned to leave.

But after walking a few steps, he suddenly turned his head to look at Di Leina.

"By the way, Na Jie..."

Ge Xiaolun called out to Di Leina, revealed an expression of wanting to say something but stopping, and only then left.

But Di Leina just looked at Ge Xiaolun and did not have much of a reaction.

A moment later, Ge Xiaolun and the others boarded the Mangdangshan and left, returning to their Underground Base.

At this moment, they no longer had the high spirits they had when they set out; these were replaced by depression and silence.

The group sat in the operations meeting room, and no one spoke.

They all just sat there quietly.

After a good while, Lianfeng could no longer stand it.

"I say, everyone, it's just a failure! It's not like we haven't experienced it before!"

"Is it worth being like this! We still have opportunities, we still have the capital to make a comeback!"

"Look at yourselves now, you don't look like Black Cleaver squad warriors at all! Come on, cheer up and wait for the next opportunity!"

If it were before, the members of the Black Cleaver squad would surely have cheered up after hearing these encouraging words from Lianfeng.

But this time, it was not like that.

Zhao Xin glanced at Lianfeng sideways.

Then, using a somewhat sarcastic tone, he said: "Chief Lianfeng, your words are truly simple; no wonder you can be a leader."

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's not like you're the one who lost a husband!"

As he spoke, Zhao Xin stood up from his seat.

"Brother Xin is going to rest now, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you all anymore!"

"Don't bother calling me for dinner either, I'll go out and eat by myself."

While speaking, Zhao Xin had already walked to the door.

And Lianfeng, having been mocked by Zhao Xin, frowned and immediately called for Zhao Xin to stop.

"Zhao Xin, you stop right there!" Lianfeng said with a frown.

"What do you mean by saying that!"

"Do you have any idea that doing this is unorganized... un..."

But Zhao Xin, hearing these words, didn't even have the intention to stop and just left like that.

Sitting at the very back, Cheng Yaowen sighed silently.

He knew that the Xiongbing Company was about to fall apart.

As for when it would fall apart, that was hard to say; it might fall apart in a moment, or it might hold on for another year or so.

In any case, it would definitely fall apart.

Because people's hearts had scattered...

Watching the direction in which Zhao Xin left, Lianfeng was not lightly angered.

Seeing this, Ge Xiaolun immediately said, "Chief Lianfeng, please calm your anger."

"Brother Xin... cough... what Zhao Xin said was merely words spoken in anger; for any couple with a good relationship, it would be fake to say they wouldn't be angry if they suddenly lived apart."

"I'll go persuade Zhao Xin in a while, please don't be angry."

Lianfeng did not speak, but simply stood up and left the place in a huff.

Looking at the direction in which Lianfeng left.

Rui Mengmeng slumped on the table with a look of disappointment and whispered, "Sigh, every time it fails..."

"Also, Dasheng has been gone for a long time now, and I don't know where he went."

"Furthermore, sometimes Chief Engineer Ye hasn't done anything wrong, so why do we always have to target him?"

Wei Lan, sitting beside her, did not speak and just listened silently.

Finally, Rui Mengmeng said, "I suddenly miss Sister Qi Lin so much; at least when Sister Qi Lin was here, I could still know why."

"Moreover, Sister Qi Lin has been gone for so long, and I don't know how she is doing now."

At the same time.

Qi Lin, who was patrolling on a motorcycle, suddenly let out a big sneeze.

"Hmm... who is talking about me?"

Qi Lin rubbed her nose.

"Could it be Liu Chuang? Speaking of which, I haven't seen Liu Chuang for a long time; I should find some time to go see Liu Chuang one of these days."

Having said this, Qi Lin prepared to continue her patrol.

But just at this moment, her phone suddenly rang.

Qi Lin had no choice but to park the motorcycle on the side of the road and answer the call.

"Hello, Sheng'an, what's wrong?"

"Oh? You mean you are going to join the Five Great Legions? That's great! If you go to the Qinglong Legion where Liu Chuang is, Liu Chuang can look after you."

"Alright, I won't talk to you anymore, I have to continue patrolling!"

After speaking, Qi Lin hung up the phone.

She got on the motorcycle and continued patrolling.

Back to the Xiongbing Company side.

These words from Rui Mengmeng were tantamount to making the atmosphere in the combat conference room sink even further.
