Chapter 380: Chapter 261: The Map or the Person?

——————

A crisp snap sounded.

It was like a bullet being chambered.

In reality, someone’s face had been twisted by a slap.

Wu Gu looked at Wei Feng in disbelief, his face expressionless. Even Gong Jiu and the others raised their eyebrows; was the story line about to take a turn?

"I don’t need someone else to teach me how to do things... especially not my subordinates,"

It may have seemed that Wei Feng was always as pleasant as a spring breeze, chatting amiably with everyone, and even more courteous when talking to Sui Yi, but once he put on a cold face, one of the ruthless leaders of Ghost Teeth would appear without warning.

Sui Yi thought this man must be from the Ghost Department.

Because such leadership qualities and tactics didn’t seem like they could belong to someone specialized in the Tooth Faction.

"Yes, Boss," Wu Gu was obviously fearful, a deep, heartfelt fear as he bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Liang Qing and the others silently watched, very calm without the slightest reaction, as if it was all routine or to be expected.

Such was the way of Ghost Teeth.

"Ouch, seems like there’s infighting going on here... So are we still fighting or what~~" Gong Jiu waved her gun tauntingly, aiming it at Xiao’s head!

Xiao gave her a cold glance, and the gun in his hand made a click sound.

They were all calling it a gun, but each person’s firearm seemed to differ in size, shape, and power. Sui Yi didn’t know much about guns, so he couldn’t name them, but he was aware that the two most formidable shooters here were undoubtedly Gong Jiu and Xiao, and for that reason, Gong Jiu harbored a strong hostility toward Xiao.

As for Flower Demon, it seemed she had taken an interest in Liang Qing, or to use Gong Jiu’s words, two internally dark and malicious individuals had taken different paths but eventually converged, destined to settle their differences on the stage of treachery...

Regarding this situation, Sui Yi, holding Demon Que, remained calm and detached, as though standing alone in the world.

Wei Feng still smiled.

"Relax a bit... you’re all too tense,"

His words managed to make the situation even tenser.

Sui Yi’s mouth twitched slightly, "If words are powerless and we must resort to violence, then let’s proceed with it, unless Mr. Wei, you have a better way to relieve stress?"

"I do..."

"Please tell,"

"Sleeping,"

His harmless smile was ambiguous, carrying a simple tone that might have been tinged with teasing...

Sui Yi switched the Demon Que to his other hand, "Not a bad idea,"

Swish, swish, swish!

Both groups holstered their weapons, then went on eating and drinking as if nothing had happened, before preparing to rest...

Occasionally, Gong Jiu could be heard.

"Sleeping? With whom? Sui Yi~~~"

Whom to sleep with was indeed a question.

Sleeping alone was too luxurious, not because there weren’t enough tents, but because lone sleepers would have significantly reduced vigilance, making them the slowest to react in case of trouble, unlike pairs or trios who could alert each other at the first sign of danger, instead of being dead asleep.

The serious topic of choosing bedfellows was quickly exploited by two mischievous women. Sui Yi always remained indifferent to such matters, playing her core role in times of special crisis, but concerning other things...

"Sui Yi, let’s partner up,"

"Oh,"

"Sui Yi, how about the two of us together?"

"Hmm,"

And somehow, it ended up that Gong Jiu and Flower Demon partnered together, while Sui Yi paired up with Shen Di.

Not everyone could sleep; someone still needed to keep watch. The first half of the night was easier to guard, the later half harder. A number of men volunteered while the women went to sleep,

Sui Yi did not object, aware that if there was any disturbance, her sensitivity would detect it earlier than anyone else... This was thanks to the Magnetic Sensation she had left around the area, which was now expected to last for approximately four hours, a warning period; she only needed four hours of sleep to be perfectly refreshed, waking up just in time to take over the watch.

In the tent, Shen Di, who was normally indifferent, seemed slightly awkward when Sui Yi entered. Once Sui Yi lay beside her, Shen Di’s eyes flickered, and she murmured a low "Thank you."

Since meeting Sui Yi, Shen Di had never been particularly warm towards her, remaining quite distant, but because of her inherently cold demeanor and attention to the bigger picture, she had managed to keep it from being too obvious to others.

However, she knew that Sui Yi was certainly aware of it.

But Sui Yi had saved her once.

"It’s nothing,"

Sui Yi had already closed her eyes.

Shen Di suddenly realized that this person was even more detached than she was.

The fires crackled; Brother Ma and Gen Fengsha whispered to each other, not too bored by their conversation...
