Xu Xin was already sending a voice request to Li Wenxi.
If that green dot really is Wenxi, then given her current location, she shouldâve been able to answer the voice call!
But... from the earlier information in the Treasure Pearl, Wenxi shouldnât have come up here...
Hmm? It connected?!
Really?!
"Wenxi?!" Xu Xin hurriedly spoke, "Is it really you?"
"...Nope."
...?
This voice...
"Yingying?!"
"Hey, didnât expect that, did you, big brother? Yep, itâs me!" Xu Yingâs voice immediately became cheerful.
Hearing Xu Yingâs voice for real, Xu Xin once again confirmed that the current Xu Ying definitely wasnât a sixteen or seventeen-year-old. She must have been in this world for some time now.
The three women around him were speechless, their lips slightly parted in surprise.
"Your sister?!" Wen Guixin stared at the watch on Xu Xinâs wrist, astonished, "Werenât you calling Wenxi?"
"...Wenxiâs watch is with you?" Xu Xin took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement but still full of doubts, and immediately asked.
"Thatâs right, sis-in-law couldnât come, but she was too worried about you, so I had to come take a look. You must have seen the Treasure Pearl I gave to that little guy earlier, right?"
So thatâs how it is...
"You little rascal, what on earth are you..."
"Stop asking, brother, Iâm not going to tell you!" Xu Ying interrupted him directly, "Iâm just here to see if you guys are in trouble, but this Crystal City really is strong, totally unafraid of the beast tide. Seems like I was worried for nothing."
...Yingying also knows the function of Crystal City?
Wasnât Crystal City only activated after he went underground? How does she know its function?
Who told her?
"Also, stop calling me a little rascal. I am... well, anyway, donât call me that anymore!"
The three women beside Xu Xin were all listening curiously to the conversation between Xu Xin and his sister. Even Wen Guixin, who a moment ago was impatient to go deal with the beast tide, wasnât in a hurry anymore.
"Are you on the west side of Crystal City now?" Xu Xin asked again.
"Huh? How did you know that? Ah... map permissions? I miscalculated, I was treated as a friendly unit..."
While she was speaking, the green dot on the map suddenly disappeared.
Huh?
Xu Xin was bewildered.
Yingying not only knew about his abilities, but she could even do something like this?
What the hell is going on...
"...Yingying, am I still your real brother?" Xu Xin took a deep breath, feeling a bit overwhelmed.
This girl, every time she does something, it makes him want to argue with her.
"...Of course, youâre my real brother! Itâs exactly because youâre my brother that Iâm being so careful!"
"I donât remember raising my sister to be a riddler! Come on, tell me, whatâs really happening! Where did you take Wenxi?!" Xu Xin immediately demanded seriously.
"Uh."
Some distance from Crystal City, Xu Ying was leaning against a tree, looking in the direction of Crystal City.
Hearing Xu Xinâs tone, she shrank her neck, a bit guilty, "I canât say, brother, donât ask anymore. If you know too much, given your current situation, youâll really end up dead!"
Xu Xin gritted his teeth.
This girl...
"Brother, I can only give you one hint. Havenât you noticed that those bastards havenât attacked you directly?"
Words Xu Xin was about to utter got stuck in his throat, his eyes slightly widening.
What did she mean by that?
"Those bastards," she must be referring to the alien invaders.
Could it be, she means that if she said something she shouldnât, letting Xu Xin know things he shouldnât, then those alien invaders would personally take action against them?
Currently, the alien invaders indeed seem restrained, as if they dare not act directly against them, but have to rely on some external forces.
He suddenly thought of the events in the Crystal Palace.
In that image, they only revealed to him what Xu Xin could know after asking him some questions, rather than laying out all the information.
...What on earth is going on...
"Ah, Iâve been discovered, I must leave! Uh, brother, itâs really been a long time since I heard your voice! You have to find us quickly, then we siblings can catch up!"
"You better hurry, or else I..."
On the map in his mind, numerous red dots were rapidly approaching the location where the vanished green dot was!
Was she being targeted by the beast swarm?!
"Yingying, you..."
"Goodbye!"
Before he could finish his sentence, the voice on the other side was abruptly cut off.
Leaving those at the scene somewhat bewildered, staring at each other in confusion.
