Chapter 234 - 133: Entering the Mines Once More

Moon Knight, Yu Lian.

When she smiles, her eyes curve like an angel, as praised by the Imperial People.

"Where’s Zhan Ning? Not appearing here immediately is unlike his character."

"Lord Zhan Ning went to report the situation to Lord Fallen Knight." Han Zhan replied.

Yu Lian nodded; she wasn’t interested in what was reported to Zhan Ning. On the contrary, she seemed more curious about Tier Six Knight Han Zhan standing before her.

"Strange, from you, I can sense the scent of at least four different women. You must be a playboy like Zhan Ning."

"Yet you’re not attracted to me, not even the slightest?"

When Yu Lian mentioned the scent of four different women, Han Zhan could feel the envious and jealous glances from the others around him.

He coughed twice.

"Have you ever heard of the phrase ’affectionate but not wanton’?"

"What does it mean?" Yu Lian blinked twice, her curious appearance like an innocent girl, inciting an urge to tease her.

Han Zhan looked down, concentrating on Andrew’s figure in his mind, quelling his rising desires instantly.

"Someone like me is considered ’affectionate,’ while someone like Zhan Ning is ’wanton.’"

"There’s a difference between us."

"You’re quite an interesting person. If Zhan Ning knew you described him this way behind his back, he probably wouldn’t be angry, would he?"

Yu Lian chuckled, covering her mouth.

"I guess he wouldn’t." Han Zhan shook his head, thinking to himself that being called the Wandering Knight, this was no surprise.

"I bet he would." At this moment, Zhan Ning’s voice sounded behind them.

Zhan Ning, with a dark expression, emerged from the crowd.

"Di Long told me that you were the one encouraging gossiping about leadership behind their backs. I didn’t believe it at first."

Zhan Ning looked at Han Zhan, with a face full of disappointment.

"Oh, come on." Han Zhan smiled, not falling for it.

He wasn’t actually a knight, and his relationship with Zhan Ning wasn’t strong, so he had no qualms about teasing him.

Yu Lian blinked her beautiful eyes, curious and inquisitive as she watched the two banter.

Zhan Ning pointed at Yu Lian and said, "You’d better be careful with this man."

Wait a minute.

Did I mishear something?

Han Zhan’s head buzzed, feeling like it could explode at any moment.

Moonlight Knight Yu Lian is a man?!

Seeing Han Zhan’s astonished look, Zhan Ning smiled.

See, the smile didn’t disappear; it just transferred from one face to another.

"What, you don’t believe it?"

"Think about it, if Yu Lian were a woman, would I have this attitude?"

"I’m so rotten, in the Sun Never Sets Knight Order, is there any woman I would spare?"

Although it’s not nice to say such things about himself, Zhan Ning was being honest.

With Zhan Ning’s explosive revelation, Han Zhan instinctively distanced himself from Yu Lian.

He recalled an old joke, a girl as beautiful as a fairy with fair skin and long legs, only to reveal something bigger than his, standing behind him...

Han Zhan always thought it was just a joke.

"Zhan Ning, you’re no fun doing this." Yu Lian pouted discontentedly, looking at Zhan Ning.

The look was adorable, brimming with girlish charm.

Zhan Ning shivered all over. "Yu Lian, quickly put away that damned charm of yours, don’t use it to confuse my normal preferences!"

Among the five Punishment Knights, Wandering Knight Zhan Ning loved women, seeking "true love" everywhere, utterly roguish. While Moon Knight Yu Lian surely topped Zhan Ning’s blacklist forever.

If you call her a woman, and the two fell for each other, really heading into a hotel, turning love into a sword fight, the thought disgusts.

If you call him a man, he constantly exudes a damn charm belonging to women, prompting men as the opposite sex to draw near.

Yu Lian’s existence, to Zhan Ning, was an ultimate nightmare.

"Did the commander summon you?" Zhan Ning and Yu Lian, speaking, had already exited the crowd.

Enough fooling around; they couldn’t delay the business at hand.

"Haven’t you already guessed?" Yu Lian replied.

"I just returned from the commander. He knows about the situation in the Mechanical Sect mine. It’s a big deal; he plans to visit personally."

Zhan Ning shared this news, pausing slightly.

"Looks like the commander has already finalized the personnel."

Yu Lian nodded gently.

The five Deputy Commanders of the Sun Never Sets Knight Order have their tasks and responsibilities. Zhan Ning guards the Sun Never Sets Port, while Yu Lian is in charge of mobility and assistance.

"Just the three of us?" Yu Lian asked again.

Zhan Ning’s eyes glanced to the side, and Yu Lian followed his gaze to Han Zhan standing nearby.

"And him."

"Him?"

"Yes." Facing Yu Lian’s inquiring tone, Zhan Ning nodded seriously, "He was the first to discover the anomaly at the Mechanical Sect mine."

"Moreover, his ability is quite unique and might provide significant help to our mission."

Without Yu Lian asking, Zhan Ning preemptively answered, "If you want to know his ability, I would say it’s like a separator."

"What?!" Yu Lian’s small cherry mouth hung open, looking utterly shocked.

"Such a talent?!" Yu Lian’s gaze at Han Zhan turned from curious to crazily eager!

"Great, this way, I could become a complete woman!"

Seeing Zhan Ning’s triumphant smile from the side, Han Zhan’s face darkened.

"My ability is decomposing, not a separator." Han Zhan could only reiterate to Yu Lian.

Learning the truth, Yu Lian seemed deflated, as if hit by a big blow.

Back to business.

The decision of the Sun Never Sets Knight Order to re-enter the mine was initially within Han Zhan’s expectations.

If he were in the leader’s position upon hearing of a threat nearby, surely he would also investigate and strategize promptly.

However, what Han Zhan didn’t expect was the level of attention the Fallen Knight placed on this matter, seeming beyond his initial expectations.

The Fallen Knight leads personally.

A Tier Seven Knight, Yu Lian, urgently recalled.

And another Tier Seven Knight, Zhan Ning, dispatched from defending Sun Never Sets Port.

From the current team lineup, a Tier Eight Peak Knight leads, two Tier Seven Knights, along with Han Zhan, a Tier Six core knight.

This lineup is indeed luxurious.

Could it be that the Fallen Knight sensed something unknown from the information I relayed?

Otherwise, why mobilize such forces?

"When do we set off?"

"Immediately."
