Mu Xingchen ignored He Weilan. Instead, she looked at Qilin in surprise. How did I become a deserter? Is this what Qilin thinks of me?
"Am I a deserter in your heart?”
"Why did you leave without a word after the battle of the Heavenly River? Have you considered my feelings? We all thought you would come back, but what about you? Where did you go?"
The last sentence was almost shouted out. Qilin glared at Mu Xingchen with tears welling up in her eyes. She really felt wronged. She trusted him so much and gave him everything, but he left without even saying a word to her. How could she not feel wronged and heartbroken?
"There seems to be big news. Do you guys think this is Sister Qilin's boyfriend?”
Su Xiaoli nudged He Weilan's arm and gave her a look before asking in a low voice. After all, she was the only one who was closest to Qilin.
He Weilan shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
Seeing her so sad, how could he feel good? He didn't want to leave her, much less leave the Mighty Company, but he had no choice. Did his identity really allow him to stay in the Mighty Company?
"I'm sorry…"
Mu Xingchen reached out and gently wiped away the tear that was about to fall from the corner of Qilin's eye. Looking at her like this, his heart ached.
"Don't think that you can get away with it just because you're sorry. Come back with me to the Xiong Bing Company. We'll leave now."
Qilin grabbed Mu Xingchen's arm and turned to leave. However, she realized that he had no intention of leaving at all. He did not even move.
Qilin turned around and looked at him. Two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks. She looked at him without blinking, hoping that he would give her an answer, an answer that could convince her.
"Don't cry. Seeing you like this makes my heart ache…"
Mu Xingchen felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife when she saw her tears again. She reached out her hand and tried to wipe away her tears.
However, Qilin didn't do as he wanted. She slapped his hand to the side and stared at him with her eyes wide open as if she was questioning him.
"Didn't you say that you would never leave me? Why didn't you come back with me? Have you forgotten what you promised me?"
"Qilin…"
"Come back with me, to the Brave Company!"
“... Alright, I'll listen to you. Be good and don't cry."
When she heard his answer, Qilin cried even harder and threw herself into his arms as if she had been wronged.
Mu Xingchen hugged her and gently patted her back to comfort her. She did not say anything and just hugged her quietly.
After a while, Qilin finally broke free from Mu Xingchen's embrace. She turned around to look at He Weilan and the others, wiped the tears from her face, took out a communicator, and sent a communication request to the Great Gorge.
"How's the mission going? Have you dealt with those terrorists?”
Ducao's voice came from the communicator.
"Reporting to the chief, the mission has been completed. Hero Lian Qilin, Mu Xingchen and Hero Lian's recruit team, request to return to the team!”
"Xiao Mu is back too? Very good, Dawn One has departed. You guys stay there and wait for Dawn One."
"Yes, sir!"
Qilin turned off the communicator. The seven of them waited for less than 10 minutes before Dawn One flew over.
They didn't think too much about it and lined up to enter through the rear cabin door. Dawn No. 1's engine turned into a stream of light and flew away from Giant Gorge City.
In the cabin of Dawn No.1, Su Xiaoli and Fina were pointing at Mu Xingchen, who was sitting opposite them. They were whispering something, but it was obvious that they were gossiping.
"Are they all new to the Mighty Company?”
Mu Xingchen looked at Qilin beside her and asked.
"Mm, that's right. Ever since the Battle of Tianhe, the Xiongbing Company has brought in some fresh blood. Oh right, introduce yourselves so that everyone can get to know each other."
Hello, brother-in-law, my name is Su Xiaoli."
Su Xiaoli said mischievously and stuck out her tongue. She was so cute.
"My name is Wei Ying, Senior."
A girl with braids and a delicate appearance spoke.
"My name is Fina."
"I am Zhao, a proud warrior."
A middle-aged man in his forties wearing strange glasses spoke.
" I'm Qilin's former colleague at the police station. My name is He Weilan. Nice to meet you."
"Yes, hello, my name is Mu Xingchen. You should all know my name, right?"
Looking at the new recruits, Mu Xingchen nodded in satisfaction. After all, this company would be even more lively in the future.
" We can't help but want to know. Sister Qilin has been nagging about when you're going back every day. My ears are getting calluses…"
Su Xiaoli said with a faint smile. No one knew what was going on in her little head.
" That's true. Not only Senior Qilin, but Senior Xiaolun and the others also talk about you every day."
Zhao spoke. He probably wasn't from Huaxia, so he felt that something was wrong when he spoke.
"Is that so? Haha…"
Mu Xingchen smiled perfunctorily. What he was most worried about now was how he would meet Ducao after returning to the Mighty Soldier Company. After all, something bad had happened in Tianhe City and his master had said so many things that he should not have said. He was not in a good situation now.
After sitting in the cabin for less than 10 minutes, Dawn One had already returned to the tarmac of the Great Canyon. It was indeed a supersonic transport aircraft with a flight speed of Mach 8.
After the hatch opened, Qilin was the first to step down, followed by Mu Xingchen, He Weilan and the rest. On the tarmac were Ducao, Lian Feng and a few navy soldiers who were welcoming them.
Without another word, Qilin saluted Ducao.
Ducao returned Qilin's salute. He then glanced at the recruits of the Brave Soldier Company. Seeing that they were all alive and kicking, he heaved a sigh of relief. He took a step forward and stood in front of Mu Xingchen.
"Xiao Mu, you haven't been back for half a month. Are you not taking the Gigantic Gorge as your home anymore?”
"Chief, I…Reporting to the Bureau Chief, Mu Xingchen requests to return to the team!”
Mu Xingchen looked at Ducao and was at a loss for words. She saluted him.
"Yes, it's good that you're back. It's good that you're back."
"Chief, where did Captain Reina and Ge Xiaolun go? Why weren't they training outside?”
Mu Xingchen looked at the training ground below the helipad and found that it was filled with navy soldiers. He asked with some doubt.
"Yunshan Base was attacked by a team of demons. Reina and Ge Xiaolun have already set off on the Dawn 3, so they didn't come."
"What? Yunshan Base was attacked? Chief, how long has Reina been gone? Do you need backup?”
Hearing Ducao's words, Mu Xingchen was a little anxious. He did not want to see anything happen to the Mighty Soldiers Company. From the beginning to the end, he was still a soldier of the Mighty Soldiers Company.
" Mm, not for now. They've been gone for almost an hour. The situation is still alright. You don't have to worry."
"Oh, that's good…"
" Alright, I won't say anymore. Xiao Mu, no matter where you are, no matter what dark history you have, you must never forget that you are a soldier of the Mighty Soldier Company. You are the hero who protects Earth and China. The Mighty Soldier Company will always be your home."
Ducao did not seem to want to pursue the matter. He looked at Mu Xingchen with a serious face. At this moment, everything he said was true.
"Yes, Chief!"
Mu Xingchen straightened her back and saluted Ducao.
"Yeah, I haven't been back for more than half a month. Go back and rest. Reina and the others will be back soon."
"Yes, Chief!"
Ducao nodded and turned to the command room. Lian Feng and the other naval warriors followed him.
" Sister Qilin, we won't disturb you two anymore. We'll go and complete the training mission first. Goodbye."
Su Xiaoli greeted Qilin and ran away with Wei Ying and Fina. Zhao followed behind.
He Weilan glanced at Qilin and Mu Xingchen but did not say anything. After all, she was an outsider and could not say anything about the couple's relationship. She went to chase after Su Xiaoli and the others.
Qilin and Mu Xingchen had nothing to do. They stood by a railing and enjoyed the sea view while waiting for Reina and the others.
"Little Chen, can you tell me why you left that day…"
Qilin turned around and looked at Mu Xingchen with some doubt in her eyes. She still could not figure out what happened to him that day. Why did he suddenly leave and never return?
Mu Xingchen turned around and looked at Qilin. She raised her right hand and gently touched her nose bridge. Then, she pointed at her left wrist, which was empty.
"Nuo, this is the reason…"
"Did you lose your watch?”
Qilin instantly understood what Mu Xingchen meant.
"I didn't lose it. My master took it and gave it to that alien called Carl…"
Mu Xingchen had no intention of hiding it from Qilin and told her the truth. Perhaps that was the only thing he dared to say to Qilin.
“... Do you still acknowledge him as your master?"
"Admit it."
"Why?"
Seeing his firm answer, Qilin was puzzled and looked at him in confusion.
"A teacher for a day is a father for life. Master has given me a new lease of life. Just this point alone is enough for me to acknowledge him…"
"But he still went against you. Will you hate him?”
"I don't hate him."
"Why?"
" You should have understood that day in Tian He City. Master is a remnant soul, and I am Master's reincarnation body. He could have directly taken my body and revived me, but he didn't do that…"
“... Little Chen, if your master became an accomplice of those aliens, what would you do?”
"If that day really comes, perhaps I will have to fight him…"
At this moment, Dawn 3 flashed past the two of them and flew towards the helipad.
Qilin glanced at Mu Xingchen and grabbed his arm.
"Let's go and see how they are."
"Yeah," she said.
