Chapter 415: Chapter 415 Reunion
âOf course.â
Su Jin said with a smile, leaving the latter part of the sentence unsaid: anyway, youâre the one whoâs paying.
Considering that Liang Jiuhui still needed to settle Dr. Pei and the others, and since it was already getting dark, Su Jin and the group decided to head back first.
âTomorrowâŠâ
Although Liang Jiuhui wanted to discuss the Mercenary Corps with them, he knew now was not the time.
âWeâll come find you for the task reward tomorrow morning,â
Lu Hao said, and then bid farewell to everyone present.
Liang Jiuhui just smiled happily. The reward was easy to handle; as long as they were willing to come tomorrow, it was fine.
âŠ
The family hadnât expected Su Jin and the others to arrive at the base tonight.
When Liao Yifan heard the knocking at the door and went to open it, her eyes immediately widened in surprise.
âSu Jin! Captain Lu! Qiqi! Youâre all back!â
Liao Yifan excitedly gave Su Jin a big hug. God knows how worried they had been about Su Jin and Lu Haoâs team these past days. They had not expected them to finally return!
âSister Yifan, at least let me in before you start,â
said Lin Xiuyuan and the others, watching the two blocking the entrance.
âXiao Jin? I thought you wouldnât arrive untilâŠâ
Lin Tianhui stopped mid-sentence when Huang Yunxiang nudged her; she realized she almost let something slip. They had all thought it would be the next day before the group could return.
âDid we come back too quickly and surprise all of you?â Su Jin asked with a smile.
âHow could that be? Weâve been missing you to death,â
said Guo Yang, almost on the verge of tears. He had been longing for the delicious food from Su Jinâs space. These past days, he was tired of eating mixed sauce noodles and those pickled meats; even the vegetables Yin Chengtian hurriedly grew were inferior to those in Su Jinâs space.
âThis isâŠâ
Xue Wanyi, besides feeling happy, also noticed Lian Jiyue standing next to Qiqi.
âA friend who ran into some trouble and lost his memory,â
Lu Hao explained Lian Jiyueâs situation briefly to everyone. During the explanation, Lian Jiyue himself sat beside Mao Qiqi, his eyes devoid of any ripples, and remained seated only because Qiqi had asked him to.
âSo, only Qiqi can understand what he means?â
Mao Zhihang asked, wondering if this was what Lin Xiuyuan referred to as Qiqiâs âFlower Guardian.â
Lin Tianzhen also kept glancing between her daughter and Lian Jiyue.
Lian Jiyue, who appeared to be in his twenties, just sat there silently. Only when Qiqi spoke did some focus return to his eyes.
A person with amnesia shouldnât be like this, right?
âYes, and he seems to have damaged his brain somehow. He acts like he doesnât understand anything,â
Lin Xiuyuan whispered to the family, recounting how earlier he hadnât even known how to use chopsticks.
âŠ
Everyone in the room, upon hearing this, looked at Lian Jiyue with sympathy. Was it really that bad?
âBrother Xiuyuan, heâs not stupid, he just doesnât remember a lot of things,â
Mao Qiqi tried to defend him. How could Xiao Yue, who was so formidable, be stupid?
âThatâs not stupid? Cough cough, letâs eat first, haha,â
Lin Xiuyuan somehow felt that after Mao Qiqi spoke, Lian Jiyue gave him another one of those cold looks.
âRight, right, right, letâs eat, Iâve made some food too,â
â`
Huang Yunxiang was about to go into the kitchen to bring out the dishes she had preparedâor more accurately, the dishes she had cut up such as marinated meat, pickles, braised eggs, and so forth, to be paired with the cooked rice porridge they had been eating these past few days along with Guo Yang and the others.
âSu JinâŠâ
Liao Yifan held her long-absent Local Tyrant Gold and looked at Su Jin with puppy dog eyes. She wasnât picky about food; she just missed it so muchâŠ
âAuntie, we can consider these as side dishes. There are so many of us, I will just take out some more dishes,â
Su Jinâs words triggered a unanimous cheer from everyone. Yin Chengtian and Shi Jin had already swiftly begun to clean up the dining table, Nie Qing comfortably leaned on the sofa, recounting to Lu Guanhai the events of the past few days, while Su Xiangzhe, Lin Cheng, and a few others listened carefully.
âI must go next time, itâs such a pity I missed it this time,â
Lu Guanhai smacked his thigh in regret.
âRight? I really want to see it too,â
Lin Cheng also thought of the village where the Earth Element Ability User they encountered could show off his powers, regretting not having gone along.
âUncle, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future; we are just getting started,â
Su Jin said while placing a variety of delicious dishes on the dining table, making Xue Wanyi and the others fixate with wide eyes.
Sweet and sour ribs, potato with fatty beef, poached shrimp, chicken stewed with mushrooms, dry-fried green beans, steamed scallops with vermicelli, stir-fried baby squashâŠ
Oh, how wonderful it is to have Su Jin back!!!
âYin Chengtian, howâs your Wood Element Ability now?â
After the table had filled up with people, Su Jin asked.
âSister-in-law, thanks to your blessings, Iâve already advanced to Level Three,â
Yin Chengtian proudly straightened his back as he finished speaking and even conjured a curved and winding rose vine to show everyone.
The rose vine was brown, covered in green leaves, and even had two rose flowers blooming; however, Su Jin could see that the vine was much thicker than it was before she left.
âReally nice. Iâll tell you, that Han Jiajiaâs vine is far inferior to yours. I managed to break it with just a tug, and sheâs at Level Four,â
Liao Yifan, while enjoying the soft and palatable potatoes, began to tell everyone about Han Jiajia.
âYeah, that little girl, I donât know what sheâs so arrogant about. Our Yifan knocked her out in just three moves,â
Guo Yang said with a look of disdain.
âWho is yours? And it was clearly only two moves, okay?â
Liao Yifan rolled her eyes at Guo Yang and retorted coquettishly; her moves had consisted of nothing more than a punch and a kick, which had sent Han Jiajia straight to the ground, knocked out.
âItâs probably because Wood Element Ability Users naturally advance slowly, often lack proper technique, and she also had good resources at her disposal, which is why she was so self-satisfied,â
Su Jin spoke while eating and analyzing.
At this moment, Lin Tianzhen saw Lian Jiyue pinch a poached shrimp and stuff the whole thing into his mouth.
ââŠâ
So, should she correct him or not?
âAh, thereâs nothing like enjoying a home-cooked meal together as a family,â
Lu Guanhai remarked sentimentally, as everyone sat around, eating and chatting, the food tasted even better.
âIsnât that the truth? Xiao Tian and I have been counting the days, hoping that Captain Lu and sister-in-law would come back soon,â
Shi Jin said without looking up from his food.
Meanwhile, Xue Wanyi shared his recent achievement with everyone; he had successfully gone from a Level Three Wind Element to Level Four, and most of the members in his training group had advanced under his coaching.
âPff, you guys have no idea how he trained those team members. He took them out to kill zombies every day. They cleared out all the zombies around the base, causing the smaller teams to grumble non-stop,â
Liao Yifan chuckled as she teased. Some timid teams dared not venture far to kill zombies and preferred to do it near the base. However, Xue Wanyiâs group would clear the surroundings of the base so thoroughly each morning that not even zombie corpses were leftâthey used them to practice controlling and sustaining Wind Element abilities.
âPsh, look whoâs talking. Donât you train your team members by making them spar each other every day?â
Xue Wanyi responded while tossing a peanut into his mouth.
