As soon as she went out, Gu Qiqi smiled and said to the little dirty turtle, “How about it? I didn’t violate Master’s instructions by saving the damsel in distress this time, right? I held back the entire time and didn’t say a word so that they wouldn’t discover any clues. Otherwise, I really want to scold them to death and criticize this group of wretched men who don’t respect women!”

The little dirty turtle looked at Gu Qiqi in admiration. “Master Qi is the most handsome!”

Still …

In the next second, it reminded her weakly, “But Master Silver, you forgot to change into men’s clothes this time. Also, you forgot to cover your face…”

Gu Qiqi was speechless.

Damn. That was a problem.

The situation was urgent just now. She was in a hurry to make a move, so she naturally did not have time to change her appearance or cover her face.

However, even if the other party remembered her appearance, she was not afraid.

Wasn’t it just a bunch of wretched men?

During their exchange, she had fully experienced how strong they looked on the outside but weak on the inside. They were no match for her.

They certainly didn’t look like someone with any superpowers.

Such people should not even have the chance to attend the Great Pharmacist Guild Conference. They might just be a local gangster on the streets.

Besides, she was setting off for the Ghost Island tomorrow and would not stop in this city at all. She would probably not have the chance to bump into those wretched men in the future.

Of course, if she had the chance to bump into them, she might continue to cripple their three legs!

Gu Qiqi flung her long hair. “Forget it. Let’s go back and have a good sleep first—”

Before she could finish speaking, she heard a gust of wind behind her!

Gu Qiqi instinctively turned around and grabbed the throat of the person behind her.

However, when she looked up, she saw that the man was old and in his early fifties. He was wearing a plain brown bamboo-patterned silk robe that the locals often wore. The fire scar from his left eye to the bridge of his nose was very conspicuous, but his kind smile lessened the ferocity of the fire scar. He was not annoying.

The old man with the scar smiled and raised his hands above his head. “Girl, I don’t mean any harm. I just couldn’t help chasing after you to remind you…”

Gu Qiqi said, “Tell me.”

The old man with the scar said, “Girl, do you know who you just provoked?”

Gu Qiqi frowned. “A group of local gangsters?”

The old man with the scar nodded, but then shook his head. “You’re right. They’re local thugs. They’re nothing to be afraid of. But the people behind them are scary. The old people here know that they take orders from the witch doctors. They do their chores and run some businesses for them…”

Gu Qiqi raised her eyebrows. “Witch doctors?”

It seemed that she had still inevitably provoked the last person she should have provoked.

Cold North Ridge Battlefield.

Gong Jue personally finalized the last technological siege plan and ordered coldly, “According to this route, you will command the robot team to launch a total siege in three directions. I’ve written down the possible accidents and countermeasures very clearly. Is there anyone else who doesn’t understand? Those who don’t understand, ask me now! I won’t wait for you if you’re late!”

His subordinates nodded.

But for some reason, they felt that Gong Jue’s words were a little strange.

Emboldened, they asked, “Master Jue, are you… not going to command us during the general attack?”

Gong Jue glared at them angrily. “Why do you always rely on me? Why don’t I feed you? You can’t even deal with these few baldies in S Nation. Don’t say that you’re part of my team!”

His subordinates swallowed their questions.

Gong Jue was right. In the early stages of the battle, Gong Jue charged forward and commanded calmly. The victory had already been decided.

Now that the enemy only had the last bit of strength left, they could completely eliminate them according to Gong Jue’s plan.

They… were relying too much on their Master Jue.

But they could not contain their curiosity.

This last battle was the best opportunity to make a contribution. Master Jue had actually given it to them. What about himself?

Where was he going?

What could be more important than taking credit?
