Chapter 310: Chapter 309: Benevolence Does Not Command Troops, Sentiment Does Not Accomplish Affairs

Cheng Tianxiang, unexpectedly taken aback by Wu Zhouyun’s words, fell into silence.

Beside him, Lu Zixun mentally gave Wu Zhouyun a thumbs up.

"And besides," Wu Zhouyun continued, "as a commander, you didn’t really make any big mistakes. If there had to be one issue, it would be that you’re too kind."

With a cold laugh, Wu Zhouyun, who had just treated his wound, crossed his arms, "Their lives are lives, but yours isn’t?"

"I think Zhouyun is right. You clearly saw a figure, yet you still got out of the car hastily. How could this possibly be your fault?"

At that moment, Meng Yihao, who had dealt with the body of the Hidden Killer, came over and said indifferently, "Not having an ounce of vigilance, and this was just dealing with a person, what if it were the Insect Clan?"

Looking at the two earnestly trying to comfort him, Cheng Tianxiang felt a sourness in his eyes, blinked hard, took a deep breath, and nodded, "I understand."

Upon reaching the second location, it was already late, clearly not suitable to continue traveling.

After transferring the Genetic Optimization Liquid, they drove the armored vehicle into the forest, camouflaging it with branches, and started camping.

As the campfire arose, the group settled down for dinner, Cheng Tianxiang looked up at the starry sky, his heart filled with worries.

He sighed deeply, "I always feel like I’m letting them down."

Lu Zixun, who was dozing in the tree, heard him and opened his eyes to look down at Cheng Tianxiang.

Yawning, he said, "What’s there to feel sorry about? I’m starting to think you’re a very sentimental person."

Shaking his head, Cheng Tianxiang sighed again, "You don’t understand. I’m the one who brought them here; I should bring them all back."

Unable to help but roll his eyes, Lu Zixun grinned, "You’re funny. How strong do you think you are, promising to bring everyone back just like that?"

"Fortunately, it’s humans this time, not the Insect Clan. Otherwise, with your personality, any mistake in command down the line, and no one would make it back."

"But..."

Before Cheng Tianxiang, who had never truly encountered the Insect Clan, could retort, a figure appeared beside the tree.

"He’s right."

Ye Changming, leaning against the tree trunk with his arms crossed, nodded slightly in agreement with Lu Zixun.

Faced with the sudden appearance of Ye Changming, Cheng Tianxiang’s pupils dilated, and he quickly issued a warning. The resting STO members instantly became alert.

"Your vigilance is lacking."

Shaking his head, Ye Changming looked up at Lu Zixun in the tree branches, "What are you doing here? Protecting these rookies?"

"None of your business."

Seeing that Ye Changming had no intention of attacking, Lu Zixun gave him a cold look, remaining silent.

"Ha ha ha."

Amused by Lu Zixun’s accent, Ye Changming couldn’t help but laugh, "After all, I’m here to snatch the Genetic Optimization Liquid. Show some respect, will you?"

"If you have the ability, just try to take it, see if you’re faster than me."

Lu Zixun threw a challenging look at Ye Changming, his claws flashing in the moonlight as they sprang from his paw pads.

"So you, this cat, really are no fun."

Laughing, Ye Changming’s gaze fell on Cheng Tianxiang, "You’re with the Cheng Family, is Cheng Tianxiong your brother?"

On reflex, Cheng Tianxiang nodded then suddenly realized Ye Changming’s identity and cautiously examined him with his Spiritual Energy.

Noticing this, Ye Changming chuckled lightly and with a casual wave of his hand, the Spiritual Energy around Cheng Tianxiang dispersed, "I know your brother. You’re quite similar in character to him."

Pausing for a moment, Ye Changming’s lips curled into a mocking smile, "Both kindly to a fault, and both too sensitive."

Watching Ye Changming coolly, Cheng Tianxiang didn’t believe a word he said.

"It doesn’t matter if you believe or not. Did your brother come home for a while once? Probably in a bad mood?"

Ye Changming lit a cigarette and took a deep drag, "The reason I say you brothers are alike stems from this. Want to know what happened back then?"

Furrowing his brows tightly, Cheng Tianxiang reflected for a moment, remembering something of that sort did happen.

Ye Changming didn’t keep him in suspense and directly said, "Back then, the squad led by your brother was attacked midway by the Insect Clan, an elite team was completely annihilated. Your brother felt it was his fault, and he became despondent..."

Pausing again, Ye Changming’s eyes carried a cold glint, "Subsequent commands often failed majorly, eventually leading to the total loss of a thousand-man Spiritual Energy squad. Had it not been for his team members desperately getting him out, he probably would have died too."

Hearing this, Cheng Tianxiang looked at Ye Changming incredulously, seeming somewhat disbelieving of his words.

Seeing this, Ye Changming cracked a smile, pulling a wallet from the inner pocket of his coat and extracting a photograph.

It showed a group photo of a five-man squad, including a person who resembled Cheng Tianxiang, and a distinctly younger-looking Ye Changming.

"I was a teammate of your brother back then."

Snuffing out his cigarette and tossing it aside, Ye Changming shook his head, "If it weren’t for your brother asking me, do you think I’d come?"

Sensing something off in Ye Changming’s words, Lu Zixun’s tail twitched as he stood up, looking down dominantly at Ye Changming.

His green pupils shone ominously under the moonlight, quite fearsome.

Looking up, he saw Lu Zixun’s unfriendly gaze.

Ye Changming smiled helplessly and spread his hands, "I’m telling the truth this time; you can ask Cheng Tianxiang if you don’t believe me."

"I don’t disbelieve you. It just seems odd that you’re still in Lingchuan City at this time."

Squinting his eyes, Lu Zixun said faintly, "And there’s one more thing. With the situation in Crimson Land being so critical, aren’t you going to join the battle?"

"I’m definitely going to fight, but there’s something else I need to do first. You’ll know in a few days."

Patting the sawdust off his clothes, Ye Changming tossed a USB drive to Cheng Tianxiang, "This is what your brother wanted. In a few days, help me deliver it to him, and pass on a message..."

The final words were spoken through Spiritual Ability Transmission, and even Lu Zixun, perking up his ears, didn’t hear.

Cheng Tianxiang’s expression shifted as Ye Changming smiled understandingly and disappeared in the moonlight.

"What did he say?"

Burning with curiosity, Lu Zixun looked eagerly at Cheng Tianxiang.

Opening his mouth, Cheng Tianxiang pursed his lips, "He said, ’Back then, my brother made a mistake, but he and Little Butterfly have already forgiven him.’"

"Hmm?"

From those few words, Lu Zixun sniffed out a strong scent of gossip.

Just as Lu Zixun was about to ask further, Ye Changming’s voice rang in his ear, "Lord Cat, being too nosy isn’t a good thing."
