The six people were speechless and embarrassed by Su Tang's words.

I can't stay here any longer.

Only Jing Hong wanted to refute, but he was soon pulled away by He Mingshen.

Su Tang did not try to keep him, but just said goodbye politely.

The small living room became quiet again. Su Tang poured himself a glass of water and drank it slowly.

After sending the person away, Yoshiko came back with a somewhat complicated expression on her face.

"Deputy Captain..." They had changed their name for Su Tang since they entered Xueluo, and now they were used to it. "Did you say something too harsh just now?"

"Have it?"

Ryoko scratched her head. "Well, well, to be honest, when I saw them last night, I also felt that they were a little different, but I couldn't tell what the problem was. After listening to you today, I finally understood. It should be because after the boss left, many people left the team, and their strength was weakened. They didn't take on any big tasks."

"Maybe." Su Tang said softly.

To be honest, she was a little disappointed.

If people do not advance, they will regress.

And these people obviously didn't look like this when they followed Meng Huo.

Of course, maybe it was also because they didn't trust her that she lacked the courage to make a move.

However, in this era, if humans hide in the base and are satisfied with the status quo, then they will always be kept in captivity and will not be able to take control of their own lives again!

Ryoko was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Then, will they come back?"

Su Tang shook her head frankly, "I don't know, it's up to them. If they come, I welcome them, if they don't come, I won't force them." After a pause, she said, "Let's go, let's go outside for a walk."

There is also an office for the management of people with special abilities in the southern city, and also a place for issuing tasks.

Su Tang believed that he could definitely find the person Xue Luo needed.

This journey took most of the day, and when Su Tang returned, Zhang Chenxi had already been waiting for a long time.

"Come with me somewhere tomorrow." He said mysteriously.

"where?"

"You'll know once you go there."

Su Tang looked at him with contempt. What a trick! How childish!

Zhang Chenxi chuckled twice, but refused to say anything. Su Tang simply followed his wishes and changed the subject, "What do you think of meeting Qiao Li today?"

"Fortunately."

"What kind of answer is that? It makes absolutely no sense!"

"Well, tomorrow, I'll tell you when I get there."

Su Tang rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, keep the secret and sleep well tonight. Don't hold it in."

"No, no!"

Really not... because Zhang Chenxi is not afraid, he is just uneasy.

So, he still didn't sleep well that night.

The next day, with slight dark circles under his eyes and under Su Tang's mocking gaze, he got into the car with her.

There were only the two of them, this was what Zhang Chenxi insisted. Su Tang was not without curiosity, but she did not ask, ready to wait and see what would happen.

The car drove all the way into the city lord's residence and then stopped in front of a wide open space.

It's not entirely empty space, there are exercise equipment placed in the corners or edges.

"Is this a training ground?"

Zhang Chenxi nodded and pulled her to the other side, where many people were walking.

Leading the way was Qiao Li, the mayor of Southern City, and several of his deputies, whom he had met yesterday. The neatly-arranged team behind them were obviously Qiao Li's soldiers. They all wore the same combat uniforms and looked quite dashing and heroic like soldiers.

As soon as Qiao Li approached, Zhang Chenxi immediately introduced Su Tang.

The one he was fawning on was not the former, but Su Tang, who looked thoughtful.

As for why...

Qiao Li, who was unaware of the situation, spoke out the truth.

After saying hello, Qiao Li, who looked to be in his thirties and had a gentle appearance, pointed to the young people who had quickly stood in the training ground and said, "Captain Zhang, Deputy Captain Su, this team is outstanding. Just rest assured when you take them on the mission. There will be no mistakes!"

A strange look flashed in Su Tang's eyes, but then she smiled.

Qiao Li thought she was very satisfied and smiled kindly.

Only Zhang Chenxi felt increasingly nervous.

He planned this for Su Tang because he was sure that she would not offend him in front of others, and the matter was already settled. But at this time, Su Tang really did what he expected, and did not show any ignorance at all, which made him particularly uneasy. Su Tang knew what he was thinking, and glared at him fiercely when others were not paying attention.

This time, Zhang Chenxi laughed secretly.

It’s okay to be angry, it’s okay to be angry.

It seems that the magnitude of the retribution will not be too high!

No matter what the two of them thought, since there was no room for regret, they naturally had to observe carefully to see if this team was really as outstanding as Qiao Li described.

Qiao Li had already made arrangements for this.

After these young people finished their mutual fighting training, they walked out of the queue one by one, reported their abilities and levels, and tried to show what they could. For example, those with natural abilities would shoot fireballs, water arrows, etc. in the open space to explain their strengths.

Although Su Tang was dissatisfied with Zhang Chenxi's move, he had to admit that the hundred or so supernatural soldiers under Qiao Li were indeed good. Even if they were not elite at present, they had been carefully trained and had great potential.

Taking such a team to the smelting base will undoubtedly shorten the mission time.

However, Qiao Li couldn't help them unconditionally.

Many thoughts flashed through Su Tang's mind, but his face remained expressionless.

After reading everyone’s self-introductions, Zhang Chenxi affirmed their strength to Qiao Li, and then left the city lord’s residence with Su Tang.

He and Qiao Li didn't say much else, presumably they had already discussed everything yesterday. Su Tang thought of this and had a bad feeling in his heart.

After finally arriving at the residence, as soon as he entered the room and closed the door, Su Tang looked at Zhang Chenxi fiercely, "Tell me, what did you promise Qiao Li?"

Zhang Chenxi waved his hand, "Don't worry, it won't be any benefit to Xue Luo!"

"So it's about Qiao Mingmei?"

Zhang Chenxi was startled, then smiled helplessly, "You are too perceptive, you have guessed this. Okay, I agree. After the smelting base is cleaned up, I will let Qiao Mingmei go over and spend some time with her."

"Just like that? Aren't we getting married right away?"

Zhang Chenxi hesitated for a moment, "Marriage... well, it's hard to say. If she is reasonable and does her duty, there's nothing wrong with marriage."

"What do you mean by being reasonable and doing one's duty?" Su Tang felt that Zhang Chenxi's choice of words was a bit strange.

"Well, probably just focus on doing what a wife should do, not interfering in the affairs of the hunting team or the base, not marrying me on the surface but secretly passing on information to Qiao Li... something like that..."

Su Tang stared at him for a long while, then rubbed his temples with a headache.

"What is this? You're sending yourself away just for a hundred people who are temporarily borrowed?"

Zhang Chenxi laughed, "You got it wrong. It should be Qiao Li who insisted on lending these people to me in order to give Qiao Mingmei to me!"
