Chapter 447 Black and White Candle Bear

After Er Wei left, Jiang Xiao sat on his dorm bed, covering his face with his hands, feeling sorry for himself.

It wasn't that he was being melodramatic, but that he wanted to cry.

If he had known Er Wei was searching, why bother delivering himself to her door?

Tone, wanton! Affection, discarded! Rights, the truth! Angry, withdrawn!

Jiang Xiao lay back on the small bed, hiccuping inwardly as he wondered if he should teleport away.

He just wanted to try hard and protect his Yingying Bear. Now, whether the bear can be protected is still unknown, but he himself has been dragged into it.

Why couldn't he be a good student at the Imperial Capital Star Warrior University? Hmm?

Why couldn't he happily eat with Little Jiang Xue and comfortably perform his duties? Hmm?

Why did he have to send his tender self to the mouth of this ferocious lynx? Hmm?

Three questions to the soul!

Jiang Xiao asked himself until his scalp tingled, and finally fell asleep...

The next morning, Jiang Xiao washed up and took off the flashy hoodie, wearing the white short sleeves underneath. Although it was a bit cold, he was meeting with an officer after all, so it was better not to be too flamboyant.

To Jiang Xiao's surprise, the person who received him was not the old man, but an old acquaintance: Officer Feng Yi.

This was the person who presented him with the award and the Void Calamity Shadow Star Bead at the National High School Competition, and the one who transferred Er Wei to the Northwest Night Watch Army.

In the meeting room, Feng Yi's serious expression softened slightly, with a hint of appreciation on his face: "You've grown a lot over the years. The leader and I have been paying attention to you. We're very pleased, and we want you to keep up the good work."

Jiang Xiao nodded, saying nothing.

Feng Yi spoke frankly: "During the World Cup, you were pulled from the competition to carry out a mission. You completed the mission very successfully. Then you returned to the national team. Under such circumstances, you won the Star Warrior World Cup champion. It's very rare, and the old leader is very satisfied."

Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. He had thought that Officer Feng Yi was just offering symbolic praise.

A smile appeared on Feng Yi's face as well. "I accompanied the old leader to watch your final. I clearly remember one scene. When you picked up the World Cup on the podium, the old leader said one sentence: 'That's our Hua Xia soldier.'"

Jiang Xiao finally broke his composure, scratching the back of his head and smiling sheepishly: "Hehe, fluke, fluke."

Feng Yi waved his hand and said, "Tell me, what situation are you here to report? I know you have many identities at the Imperial Capital Star Warrior University and are very busy."

Jiang Xiao was a little embarrassed. His identity as a student at the Imperial Capital Star Warrior University was of course irrelevant. The Night Watch bigwig in front of him was obviously talking about him being an Explorer...

Jiang Xiao hurriedly changed the subject and said, "When I was in the Northwest region, carrying out our Night Watch Army mission and resolving the Calamity Night Mountain crisis, the children our team rescued gave me a mutated crimson candle fire."

Feng Yi nodded: "Mm."

Jiang Xiao said, "According to the above's intentions, I gave it to the Northwest Star Beast Research Institute. A few months later, they returned the mutated crimson candle fire. I then gave this little guy to Han Jiangxue."

Feng Yi: "Continue."

Jiang Xiao organized his words and said, "As the World Cup champion, the Imperial Capital Star Warrior University gave me a chance to capture a Star Pet. I chose the newly opened Bamboo Forest Other Dimension in recent years, and I absorbed a Bamboo Bear."

Feng Yi nodded again, he understood Jiang Xiao's movements.

Jiang Xiao continued, "Then... my Bamboo Bear and the mutated candle fire often played together, and then something happened."

Feng Yi asked curiously, "What happened?"

Jiang Xiao scratched his head, and finally decided to let Feng Yi see for himself.

He stood up and came to the corner of the meeting room, waving his hand casually.

The next moment, a Bamboo Bear wearing a candle fire hat appeared in Feng Yi's sight.

Feng Yi: ???

Jiang Xiao said weakly, "It seems like the two of them fused. When the Bamboo Bear uses the Round Bamboo Star Technique, it's carrying the black and white candle fire flames, and it's icy cold, very peculiar."

Feng Yi stared blankly at the Bamboo Bear with its head on fire. As knowledgeable as he was, he was also in disbelief.

Jiang Xiao said quietly, "I don't know what happened. The two of them always played together. When we discovered it, it was already like this. I will follow the orders of my superiors and cooperate with all actions. I just want to... protect my Star Beast. I already have so few Star Slots. If you take away my Star Pet, I'll cry to death..."

It took Feng Yi a long time to recover. He thought for a while and said, "The two of you stay here for another day, and wait for my notification."

Er Wei suddenly said, "I've already conscripted him. I'm going to take him to protect the leader of Kang Ke Jin De until we wipe out the assassination squad."

Feng Yi nodded: "Stay for another day. You can go down first."

The two of them nodded, Jiang Xiao retrieved the Black and White Candle Bear, and quickly walked out of the meeting room.

Jiang Xiao whispered, "How about some beef noodles?"

Er Wei: "......"

You just finished talking about such a big deal, and as soon as you walk out the door, you want beef noodles?

Jiang Xiao whispered, "Or we could go get some skewers, eat grilled cod?"

Er Wei glanced at Jiang Xiao without saying a word.

Last time you lured me out with grilled cod! But I didn't get to eat any! You're trying that again?

Jiang Xiao chuckled and said, "If you don't go, I'm going. Grilled cod sizzling with oil, brushed with some sauce, it'll be so delicious..."

Er Wei licked her lips and said, "Let's go. I just happen to have to explain the mission to you."

Jiang Xiao snorted and said, "What's there to explain? Isn't it just being a bodyguard? There should be a lot of leaders in Kang Ke Jin De, right? Arrange a beautiful female leader for me, or a family member, give me a princess or something."

Er Wei resisted the urge to kick him, and said coldly, "Shut up, listen to orders, and execute."

Jiang Xiao couldn't help but grin, and his mind began to wander again...

The day passed like this. Facts proved that reporting to one's own people was still very reliable.

According to Officer Feng Yi, the Northwest Star Beast Research Institute wanted to send the Black and White Candle Bear over, but under pressure, the Northwest Night Watch Army stated that their soldiers were going to carry out a very important mission, and the Star Pet was an important part of the Star Warrior's strength.

But the Star Beast Research Institute was not a small institution.

The Night Watch Army was a behemoth, and the Star Beast Research Institute was not inferior either. It was also a national-level institution with a lot of power and influence. And the Northwest Night Watch Army didn't really want to hinder their research on Star Beasts. In the final analysis, they were all working for the country.

Finally, after discussions between the two sides, a more compromise solution was given.

The Northwest Star Beast Research Institute, together with the Southwest Star Beast Research Institute, jointly sent several representatives to form a team of experts to go to Kang Ke Jin De.

The soldiers would carry out their mission, and they would conduct their own research without disturbing the soldiers' mission.

Jiang Xiao was very satisfied with this result.

In this result, Jiang Xiao saw the attitude of the Northwest Night Watch Army, and the attitude towards Jiang Xiao himself!

Perhaps it was because Jiang Xiao's previous actions had added too many points for him?

Receiving such protection, Jiang Xiao was extremely grateful and honored.

From many perspectives, Jiang Xiao was willing to go through fire and water for the Night Watch Army, and the Northwest Night Watch Army gave Jiang Xiao such a return, which made Jiang Xiao, the small soldier at the bottom, feel very comfortable.

The next day at noon, Er Wei took Jiang Xiao to Kang Ke Jin De.

Before taking off, Jiang Xiao also called Han Jiangxue, who was dumbfounded.

What was going on?

Her younger brother was making excuses to go back to Jiangbin, but it wasn't an excuse? He really went abroad?

And from what Jiang Xiao said, the return date was uncertain?

Damn it!

Was this guy tricking me?

Han Jiangxue was worried and angry, and Jiang Xiao was so scared that he quickly hung up the phone...

Qin Wangchuan also felt bitter in his heart after learning about this news, but he had already been mentally prepared. This kind of thing could easily happen. Otherwise, Jiang Xiao's Explorer Officer Certificate wouldn't have "Volunteer Corps" written on it.

Principal Yang Chensan didn't express anything. The able ones should do more work. Young people should seize the opportunity to train and grow. As long as you don't delay participating in the World Cup in your third year...

There was no need to consider failing a grade or repeating a year. I'll steal the answers and support you...

What was more joyful was that Zhao Zijian and Hu Kangxian, the two medical Awakened from the Apprentice Army, had the opportunity to fill the medical positions in the champion team.

The Poisonous Milk King was indeed not a peaceful master!

He's gone again! Great! Champion team, here we come!

Leaving aside the team's competitive employment for the time being, here, Jiang Xiao and Er Wei took a plane, flying from dawn to dusk.

It wasn't the passage of time that made it dark, but the shift in position that made it dark.

To Jiang Xiao's surprise, parts of Kang Ke Jin De were obviously within the influence of the Calamity Night Mountain Sacred Ruins or the Dark Temple Sacred Ruins. When the plane was flying in the dark sky, the sky suddenly lit up, apparently because a certain Sacred Ruin in this area had been destroyed by local soldiers.

Jiang Xiao looked at the window in surprise and asked, "Has there been another large-scale Sacred Ruin opening here?"

Beside him, Er Wei nodded lightly and explained, "Dark Temple dimensional spaces, some space gates, some Sacred Ruins, frequently open here. Not only here, but Central Asian countries are all in this state."

Jiang Xiao said helplessly, "Is the disease relapsing again? My god, when will this get better?"

Er Wei suddenly said, "What if it doesn't get better?"

Jiang Xiao turned to look at Er Wei: "What?"

Er Wei looked at Jiang Xiao expressionlessly and repeated, "What if it doesn't get better?"

Jiang Xiao: "This..."

Er Wei: "What if this is the general trend? The first and second times may be their probes, what about the third and fourth times? Will our planet one day be dominated by these Star Beasts and become their paradise?"

Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and didn't know what to say.

Er Wei rarely said a relatively pessimistic sentence: "We're fighting all our lives, but we don't know where the result is."

Looking at Er Wei's slightly tired appearance, Jiang Xiao couldn't find the heroic soldier, couldn't find the warrior with a raging fire burning in his heart.

This always firm and calm warrior, the warrior who was born for the mission and died for the mission, seemed a little confused...

He would never have thought that Er Wei would show such a side. This was not the state she should be in. This caught Jiang Xiao off guard.

What exactly had she experienced to make her show such a state?

After a long while, Jiang Xiao leaned into Er Wei's ear and whispered, "We haven't seen each other for too long. You're outside, and I only talked to you once on New Year's Eve. In fact, in the past few months, my mission has made some progress. I'll report to you separately."

Er Wei tilted her head slightly, rubbed her slightly itchy ears, looked at the soldiers on the transport plane around her, and nodded lightly.

Jiang Xiao turned to look out the window and sighed softly: Do your best, and leave the rest to fate.

If this news were to be spread, perhaps large batches of soldiers would die on the road to exploring the truth, but this was not something Jiang Xiao should decide. He only needed to report the truth, and everything would be decided by his superiors.

Er Wei: "Why are you sighing?"

Jiang Xiao shrugged without turning his head: "You feel confused about the future, so do I."

Er Wei: "I hope you can bring me some good news."

Jiang Xiao smiled wryly: "I try my best to fill my life with joy and strive to give shelter and care to the people around me, but this world doesn't seem friendly."

Er Wei murmured Jiang Xiao's words softly, with a forced smile on her face: "Heh, not friendly."

Jiang Xiao turned to look at Er Wei: "Lots of news. Little good news."
