Chapter 277: Chapter 276: No Bomb, No Right to Speak?
That afternoon, Jingyue and the others were riding a Soft Cloud, about to head to the Celestial Cloud Mountain Range.
Jiang Zuo waved goodbye to them from the front of the villa.
"I’ll be back soon. Don’t worry, and don’t overthink things," Su Qi said, reminding him.
Jiang Zuo nodded, indicating he understood.
Then Su Qi added, "Also, don’t let any ordinary people find out you’re a Mage, and don’t get into fights with the Fire Element at home. If I come back and see the house has been burned down, I’ll... I’ll really burn you to a crisp."
Jiang Zuo nodded. ’Whatever Su Qi says is right.’
Su Qi had wanted to say more. This was the first time she was having Jiang Zuo see her off on a business trip like this, and she had a lot of things she wanted to tell him.
But before she could, Jingyue pulled Su Qi aboard and had the Soft Cloud take off.
Before they left, she even said to Jiang Zuo, "Don’t you worry, brother-in-law. We sisters will keep an eye on Jiang the Bitter Woman here. She’ll be perfectly safe.
So, don’t call her halfway through and lower her IQ. You’ll get us all killed."
The tone of the second half of her sentence changed abruptly, and Jingyue even seemed to be grinding her teeth.
But as soon as Jingyue finished speaking, the Soft Cloud shot into the sky.
Jiang Zuo had still been waving, but he froze when he heard Jingyue’s words.
’So that was the real reason she didn’t want me to call.’
’They say a girl in love has an IQ of zero, but that doesn’t count for Su Qi, right? She’s a young married woman now.’
After they departed, Jiang Zuo planned to leave as well. He also had to prepare to go to the Celestial Cloud Mountain Range.
As for how to get to the Celestial Cloud Mountain Range, that wasn’t a difficult problem. He could just take a plane again.
The airport from before didn’t just have flights to the Holy Land; it went to many other places too.
Besides, he had checked and found that a new flight path had opened in the last two days, flying directly to the Celestial Cloud Mountain Range.
Those Demon Cultivators were certainly generous, not even afraid of the competition.
Jiang Zuo didn’t know what those people were planning. In any case, with this new route, quite a few people would surely be going.
But he didn’t care. As long as it was convenient for him to go, that was all that mattered.
Back home, Jiang Zuo took some apples out to the balcony and said to Sweet Potato, "Watch the house for the next few days."
Sweet Potato blinked and nodded, looking a little happy.
’Not having to go out means not having to get hurt.’
Then, he put Duan Qiao away. Although there was a signal over there, it definitely wouldn’t be as good as Duan Qiao.
He brought it along just in case.
’I’m speechless. He’s sending me back into the fishing rod again, without so much as a word of warning.’
’But I’ve accepted my fate. So what if I have to stay all alone in the Storage Space? I’m quite used to it. It’s much better than being imprisoned inside the fishing rod.’
’Besides, there’ll come a time when I’m called to action. When that happens, I’ll go back and show off to Xiaohong and the others.’
’Those useless pets can only ever stay cooped up at home.’
Then, Duan Qiao collapsed on the ground in despair.
’Have my ambitions really sunk this low? What happened to finding my other half? What happened to my goal of restoring my bridge form?’
’And now, I’m content with just being able to put down those other pets.’
’I’m Duan Qiao, the bridge that connects different realms!’
’A supreme treasure whose knowledge is priceless!’
’And yet, I’ve ended up being used as a signal tower and bragging to other pets when I get back.’
Jiang Zuo couldn’t care less what Duan Qiao was thinking. If Duan Qiao couldn’t serve as a signal tower, it was, at best, just a slightly better fishing rod.
If it were just a fishing rod, Jiang Zuo might have already made Duan Qiao’s spiritual avatar disappear long ago.
After taking care of these things, Jiang Zuo was about to set off.
But before he could leave for the airport, he felt his phone vibrating nonstop.
He took it out and saw that Chen Yi was tagging him: "@Po Xiao, Boss, we found out that the people from the Holy Land are going to the Celestial Cloud Mountain Range. Oh, the Celestial Cloud Mountain Range is the Ancient Cave Mansion that Mo Yan mentioned."
Jiang Zuo was a little surprised. ’Su Qi just left. How did these guys find out already?’
Chen Yi quickly sent another message: "The people from the Holy Land just requested perception support. Looks like we’ll have to work for the next few days."
Simply put, Chen Yi had gotten the news and came to report it.
Everyone knew that Boss Po Xiao had a thing for the Saintess.
’Perception?’ Jiang Zuo was a bit taken aback.
It was only then that he remembered the Perception Department was, well, responsible for perception.
Po Xiao: "You guys are so weak. Can you even perceive anything?"
Instantly, Chen Yi felt a dagger in his heart.
They had been working hard to get stronger recently, and they had made great progress.
Xiao Xiaomo sent an awkward face emoji: "Boss Po Xiao, we are still somewhat useful. The three of us combined are no worse than a Tier Three Perception user. Plus, we’re specialists. We can perceive almost all the blind spots that others can’t."
Jiang Zuo wasn’t paying attention to their strength, however. A thought suddenly occurred to him.
Po Xiao: "When will they have you start perceiving?"
Xiao Xiaomo: "Usually, they contact us whenever there are enemies or any unusual situations."
Jiang Zuo froze. ’In other words, these people will be the first to know if something happens to Su Qi?’
’Then wasn’t it a waste for me to find that Black-robed Demon Cultivator before?’
’On second thought, no. Having more people watching provides more security. The Perception Department’s signal sometimes gets interrupted, so who’s to say they won’t mess up this time?’
Finally, Jiang Zuo replied, "If anything unusual happens on their end, notify me immediately."
Xiao Xiaomo and the others naturally agreed at once.
’As expected, Po Xiao really cares about the Saintess.’
In Perception Room No. 1, Chen Yi and the others were playing cards, all wearing "I knew it" expressions.
"See? I was right. Brother Zuo is definitely satisfied with our intel," Chen Yi said, throwing down a pair of threes.
"Do you guys think Brother Zuo will go?" Xiao Xiaomo asked, slamming down a pair of kings.
"Boss, Liu Yu is the ’landlord,’ why are you playing against me?" Chen Yi said helplessly. Then he added, "He’ll definitely go. He told us to notify him if anything happens. What’s the point of notifying him if he doesn’t go?
Brother Zuo isn’t the type to just watch from the sidelines."
Xiao Xiaomo played a three and said, "Chi Xue Child and the others are all in seclusion. It’s a shame they couldn’t go this time."
Liu Yu played a two and said, "I’m already following that streamer. Just waiting for him to risk his life and start a livestream."
Chen Yi silently threw down a rocket bomb and said, "He’s already famous. His follower count is second only to Saintess Jingyue and Witch Dan Xue. I just wonder how long he’ll live."
After saying that, Chen Yi also threw down a pair of fours.
Xiao Xiaomo threw down four fives and said, "Let’s check the equipment thoroughly this time and get the spare parts ready. We also need to stay in constant contact with Brother Zuo.
That way, there shouldn’t be any major problems."
"By the way, should we celebrate with hot pot tonight?" Chen Yi asked, throwing down four eights.
Xiao Xiaomo threw down four queens. "Of course! Perfect timing, too. Yiyi Fairy from the group is in seclusion, so no one will nag us."
Chen Yi played four aces. "Speaking of which, we didn’t use to have titles like ’Fairy’ in our group, did we? Demon Cultivators are terrifying; they’ve totally corrupted our group’s culture."
Liu Yu threw his cards down and said, "Do you have to play a bomb just to get a turn to speak? And where are you two getting so many bombs? You’re cheating, aren’t you?"
Xiao Xiaomo said, "Yeah."
Chen Yi added, "You’re only just realizing that now?"
"..."
