Xue Mo Yin and his team were rapidly advancing towards Restaurant B. Meanwhile, a different scene was unfolding at Love Apartment.
Wan Yu and Mei Jia returned to the apartment after their training. As soon as they entered, they found Zhan Bo slumped on the sofa, the TV on, but his mind was clearly elsewhere.
Mei Jia patted him, "What are you thinking about?"
Zhan Bo jumped, "You scared me! Hey, why are there only two of you? Where's my sister?"
Wan Yu sat on the sofa, rubbing her arms. After all, she had been training all day and was quite tired.
At this moment, Zhan Bo seemed to have found an opportunity to curry favor, and he quickly asked with a flattering smile, "Wan Yu, are you tired? Do you want me to massage you? I'm pretty good at massage!"
Wan Yu awkwardly shook her head, "I'm fine, I just want to loosen up a bit." Joking, she had received such systematic TCM inheritance, a simple massage was child's play for her.
“I say, Zhan Bo, why are you so nice to Wan Yu? Could it be...?" Mei Jia gossiped on the side. Xue Mo Yin and his team were on a mission, and the apartment was so boring! Finally, she found something to gossip about, and she quickly grabbed a bag of popcorn she had somehow found, eager to hear Zhan Bo's answer.
Zhan Bo, that boy, was undoubtedly a genius when it came to intelligence. Computers, astronomy, mechanics, robotics - he was well-versed in all of them, and his skills were excellent. But when it came to EQ... well, he was also incredibly "brilliant." To say he was a fool would be an insult to the term. It was a common consensus.
Mei Jia's words made Zhan Bo's face flush instantly. He nervously explained, "I, I don't have any thoughts like that! I, I just care, I just care about Wan Yu. We are roommates, right? It's nothing for me to care about her. How could I have any thoughts about Wan Yu."
This stammering explanation, clearly a case of "there's no smoke without fire," was a confession without words! "Really? Why don't you care about me then? And when you see Wan Yu tired, you forget about your sister, Yi Fei?"
"No, no, that's not true. My sister is so powerful, nothing will happen to her. I, I'll give her a call." He said, then flew back to his room. He was secretly pleased with himself, "Whew! I'm lucky I'm smart and they didn't see through me!" This silly boy had no idea that his little crush was an open secret.
Mei Jia hugged her popcorn and turned her gaze back to Wan Yu, her eyes full of gossipy curiosity. Wan Yu was also a little embarrassed. Unlike in the original story, she had now truly found the life she wanted: freedom, adventure. So, she was now completely focused on studying the memories in her mind, striving to not hold the team back next time.
So, how could she possibly have the time to think about such trivial matters? Besides, her strength had undergone a drastic change. Even her values had shifted since joining the team. Although she knew that Mo Yin would eventually bring Zhan Bo along, for now, they were already people from two different worlds.
Seeing Mei Jia's curious eyes, Wan Yu sighed, pouting her lips. "Mei Jia, don't look at me like that."
"Why? Don't you like Zhan Bo?"
"I already told you, I don't want to think about these things right now. My adventurous life has just begun, how can I be tied down by this? I've been training so hard, not to fall in love." Wan Yu explained to Mei Jia.
Mei Jia thought about it. It was the same for her. She was also focused on adventure, otherwise, with her personality, how could she endure such boring and tedious training? But, "Then what about Mo Yin and Yi Fei? What's going on with them?"
Speaking of this, Wan Yu also became interested, "I don't know! But they seem to have something going on. It's so romantic to think about!" Wan Yu's expression was a bit envious.
"Hey! That's not what you said just now. You just said you don't want to be tied down by love, how come you're envious now? Is it because they're different?"
Wan Yu rolled her eyes, "What are you thinking about? They are different, okay? Yi Fei is so powerful, and with Mo Yin's command, they are like a pair of celestial beings, how could they be the same as us?"
Mei Jia thought about it, they were indeed very powerful, and even more powerful together. Unlike them, who couldn't even participate in missions yet. Thinking of this, Mei Jia looked disheartened, "You're right, I wonder how much good stuff Yi Fei will be able to buy in the mall this time. Even that scoundrel Zi Qiao will have points to spend on a shopping spree, and I, your mother, have nothing."
"So we have to train hard and make sure to participate in the next mission, so we don't fall too far behind them! Speaking of the system mall, Mei Jia, what are you planning to buy?" Wan Yu wanted to hear Mei Jia's opinion. After all, the various items made her eyes go dizzy.
Mei Jia's eyes lit up, and she said confidently, "Of course, it's the drug that goes from B to C. I've been eyeing that for a long time, I'll make Yi Fei try it first when she gets back."
Wan Yu actually wanted to ask about items that could enhance their strength, but when Mei Jia mentioned this, she was immediately distracted. The appeal of this matter to women was just too great, especially since they looked down at their own meagre mounds, further confirming their intentions!
Just as they were discussing heatedly, Zhan Bo burst out of his room in a panic, yelling in a flustered tone, "It's not good! It's not good!"
They had been under intense training for the past few days, and their minds were already on edge. Hearing Zhan Bo's words, the two quickly stood up. Mei Jia's psychic power gradually gathered, and Wan Yu also took the starting posture of her whip technique, ready to pull out her Jade Bone Whip to defend themselves.
Zhan Bo then worriedly told them, "My sister, they've disappeared."
"Cut it out!" They both rolled their eyes and sat back down on the sofa.
Zhan Bo was confused by their reaction. What did they mean? It was such a big deal! Why were they so indifferent? "I'm serious, none of the three of them came back tonight. And I just called them, and they're all out of service."
Mei Jia shrugged, "So?"
"So, they might be in danger! Do you think they've been kidnapped?"
Wan Yu couldn't take it anymore, "It's okay, Zhan Bo. With Yi Fei's strength, how could she be kidnapped?"
Zhan Bo scratched his head. That was true, his sister was so powerful, she'd be lucky if she didn't kidnap others herself. Could it be... "You guys don't think my sister kidnapped someone, do you?"
"You're thinking too much, genius! They're fine. And you're talking about your sister like that, are you not afraid she'll come back and make you go through another round of training?" Mei Jia was speechless. This kid's imagination was too wild.
"Then why are their phones out of service?"
"It's because they're on a mission, and there's no signal there." Wan Yu replied.
Zhan Bo was interested when he heard this, "A mission? They went on an adventure! But nowadays, what place has no signal? Did they go to a no-man's land? Do you think they might have encountered aliens?"
Mei Jia thought about it carefully. It was true that it would be like going to find aliens for them, because they weren't even in the same world!
Seeing Mei Jia stuck, Wan Yu quickly took over, "How would we know where they went? If we did, we would have gone with them. But, there definitely are no aliens." There would probably be a lot of zombies, though.
"Hey? You think Mo Yin will bring me along on the next adventure? I've already prepared all my Transformers. No matter what danger we encounter, we can push forward all the way."
