Chapter 222 Following in Cangnan's Footsteps (Part 2)

"Actually, I don't know either. After all, I've been in Cangnan City for ten years. In these ten years... I've been walking on thin ice."

"When I first came to Cangnan City, I thought it would just be a simple mission, but I never expected to develop such a deep connection with this city," Chen Muye remarked.

"After the [Mortal Divine Realm] disappeared in Cangnan City, my memories returned... If I had to say, I might return to Shangjing City to report back on the mission I didn't complete..."

Upon hearing Chen Muyi's words, all the veterans of Team 136 present, except for Wu Xiangnan who had expected it, were stunned.

Wen Qimo was the first to react, and slowly asked, "Captain... are you leaving?"

"Captain..." Hongying looked into Chen Muyi's eyes, tears welling up in her eyes, "Xiao Nan is gone, Leng Xuan is gone, and now even you, Captain..."

"We were all going to leave sooner or later." A gentle smile appeared on Chen Muye's face as he reached out and stroked Hongying's head. "If it weren't for Liu Lang and the others, I might have disappeared along with everyone else in Cangnan City... The fact that you're still alive is already beyond my expectations."

“Captain!” Wu Xiangnan followed up, “I’ll go with you too. To be honest, the Night Watch’s higher-ups told me to go back and report for duty half a month ago, but… I didn’t go.”

"If you're going to the capital, at least take me with you!"

"Good!" Chen Muye looked up at the strange smoke rising in the distance. "Ten years ago, thanks to Lin Qiye, I had a chance to live again. Now, ten years later, thanks to Liu Lang... I have survived this catastrophe in Cangnan City again."

"It's been a wonderful time meeting you all over the past ten years..."

Hongying glared fiercely at Wu Xiangnan, "Xiangnan, you old dog! You're leaving too?! Why didn't you tell us anything?!"

"Even though we don't get along, there's no need for you to hide in Beijing!"

Wen Qimo looked at Wu Xiangnan with a very complicated expression, then at Hongying, "The vice-captain being transferred to Beijing by the higher-ups must mean something important..."

Hongying glanced at Wen Qimo, then carefully examined Chen Muyi and Wu Xiangnan, looked up at the distant sky, and sighed deeply.

"The captain's leaving, and Xiangnan Old Dog's leaving too... After what happened, Xiao Qiye and Langzi definitely won't stay in Cangnan City. Sister Ying will probably leave with Langzi too... Everyone in Squad 135 is leaving..."

Chen Muyi and Wu Xiangnan both fell silent.

They also wanted to talk to Hongying and ask her to come with them.

But when the words were on the tip of their tongues, they couldn't bring themselves to say them.

Because they didn't know where they were headed in this trip to the capital...

“Hongying…” Wen Qimo and Zhao Kongcheng looked at Hongying with complicated expressions.

"Captain, Vice Captain!" Hong Ying calmly addressed Wu Xiangnan and Chen Muye formally, her clear eyes looking at them with unwavering determination.

"Mm," Chen Muye replied.

Wu Xiangnan replied in the same way, "I'm here."

“I’m staying! As long as Cangnan City exists, as long as I’m here, even if you leave, Squad 136 will always be here!” Hongying said slowly.

Zhao Kongcheng chimed in, "That's right! I want to stay too. I've been in Cangnan City for so many years and haven't done anything but do odd jobs for you guys. Now that we finally have two forbidden ruins and some strength, I want to do something for Cangnan City."

Wen Qimo was taken aback: "Old Zhao, even you...?"

"What? Am I no longer a member of Squad 136?" Zhao Kongcheng retorted to Wen Qimo, his eyes meeting Wen Qimo's directly.

"Squad 136 has not disbanded or disappeared; we have just temporarily separated."

Everyone has their own things to take care of... Once everything settles down, we'll get together again, right, Captain? Hongying took a deep breath, her eyes slightly red, and her lips tightly pressed together.

“That’s right,” Wu Xiangnan and Chen Muyi answered in unison.

"From now on, I, Hongying, will be the captain of Squad 136!" A gentle breeze brushed past Hongying's temples, revealing her resolute eyes, as she shouted loudly.

Upon hearing Hongying's words, Zhao Kongcheng hurriedly retorted, "No way! What kind of captain is a girl like you? If anyone should be captain, it should be me... The captain and vice-captain are gone, and I'm the strongest here. I should be the captain!"

"Pfft—!" Hongying looked at Zhao Kongcheng, who was in a hurry to compete with her for the position of squad leader of the 136th squad.

The frustration that had been building up inside me vanished instantly, and I couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?" Zhao Kongcheng scratched his head and asked curiously.

Wen Qimo looked at the two of them, smiled and shook his head, "Since you're both vying for the captaincy, then... I'll reluctantly become the vice-captain of Squad 136!"

“Old Zhao.” Hongying stared into Zhao Kongcheng’s eyes and slowly asked, “Do you still remember what you said to Xiao Qiye back then?”

"What did you say?" Zhao Kongcheng asked.

“General! General Zhao! Didn’t you say that your greatest desire in this life was to be a general of the Night’s Watch?” Hongying explained, “If you stay in Squad 136, how can you become General Zhao!? You don’t want to disappoint Xiao Qiye, do you…”

“This…” Zhao Kongcheng was stunned.

“Old Zhao, think about it, isn’t our Great Xia Night Watch still missing a ‘General’? This is the one reserved for you, why are you still staying in Cangnan City and competing with me for this captain position?” Hongying said while the iron was hot.

“That’s right, I, Zhao Kongcheng, am destined to be a general!” Zhao Kongcheng was completely enlightened by Hongying’s words. His previously stagnant thinking was instantly cleared up by Hongying. Captain Chen Muyi said, “Captain, I’ll go with you too! I’m determined to be General Zhao!”

Over the past two weeks, Chen Muyi had gained a general understanding of Zhao Kongcheng's current strength. Hearing what he said, he nodded and replied, "Okay, let's go together."

Hongying chuckled and exclaimed, "Then I wish General Zhao a triumphant return!"

Wen Qimo looked at Zhao Kongcheng and patted him on the shoulder, "Old Zhao, your dream of becoming a general is finally about to set sail. Don't embarrass our 136th Squad when you get to the capital."

Zhao Kongcheng straightened his chest, full of confidence, "Of course, I am General Zhao! Deputy Captain Wen."

"Hahaha."

"Wen Qimo, the deputy captain of Squad 136!"

"To!"

"Let's go back!"

"Yes!"

......

Back in the underground of the Peace Agency, Hongying and Wen Qimo stood in what used to be the office of Squad 136.

Hongying stared blankly at the regional map of Cangnan City, seemingly lost in thought.

"team leader."

"Well, what happened?"

"What is our job?"

"...The same as always, protect the safety of Cangnan City and resist the mysterious..."

"By the way...when they get back..."

......
