Chapter 96: Chapter 95: The Exceptional Enemy

What’s going on here?

Different from his usual cheerful demeanor.

Zeng Haoyang’s face was etched with unresolved ice at this moment, his entire expression darkened, quite frightening.

He turned and exchanged a glance with Xiong Kang, who silently shook his head to indicate he also had no clue what had happened.

"You...you may speak."

Tentatively approaching Zeng Haoyang, Lu Zixun sat obediently at his feet.

"Ding—Feeling value detected from Zeng Haoyang +4000."

Taking a deep breath, Zeng Haoyang opened his mouth, his gaze falling upon Lu Zixun.

Hesitating for a moment before speaking, "Orange Cat, you might have to stay at the sto headquarters recently."

Thinking it would be something serious, Lu Zixun flicked his tail on the ground, "I thought it was something important. It’s just like being kept for observation at school, no problem."

"Ding—Feeling value detected from Xiong Kang +4000."

Unlike the optimistic Lu Zixun, Xiong Kang felt a sudden jolt in his heart upon hearing Zeng Haoyang’s words.

A flash of murderous intent in his eyes, "Elder Zeng, is it that old fogey from the Ye Family causing trouble again!"

"It’s Long Xingguo’s decision."

Shaking his head, Zeng Haoyang looked at Lu Zixun and sighed again, "Because of previous issues with Long Xuan, someone told Long Xingguo that Long Xuan was reborn and went into hiding again, only to be killed by the Orange Cat who pledged allegiance to Yue Sichen."

When saying "someone," Zeng Haoyang emphasized the word, his eyes filled with a chilling murderous intent.

"Somebody...heh."

With a cold laugh, Xiong Kang also exhaled deeply, "If I go to Ninth Brother and ask for his help, would that make things..."

"The situation would become far more severe. Jiuri has always been stubborn since childhood, and he doesn’t get along with Long Xingguo either. If we let Long Jiuri go to Long Xingguo now, at best they’ll just argue, but if it comes to blows..."

"Sigh."

The two sighed in unison, leaving Lu Zixun somewhat puzzled.

"It’s just staying at the sto headquarters. Why make it seem like it’s an execution ground? It’s quite scary."

Licking his paw, Lu Zixun, who was unaware of the gravity of the situation, made a causal remark.

Seeing Lu Zixun’s carefree attitude, Xiong Kang let out a burdened breath.

He began to explain, "Being kept at the sto headquarters as punishment isn’t as simple as you think. Those people are usually assigned to night patrol."

"Night patrol?"

Tilting his head to think for a moment, Lu Zixun figured it was probably similar to a patrol.

He nonchalantly shook his head, "It’s just staying up all night, no big deal."

"If it were merely staying up all night, that’d be fine."

With a wry smile, Xiong Kang massaged his sore temples, "During the night patrol, there will be sto members disguised as members of the Alien Race, to test those who are being punished. This is the problem we’re worried about."

At this point, Lu Zixun, who had been carefree, slowly began to grasp the severity of the matter.

His tail swished behind him nonstop, fully revealing the inner turmoil he felt.

"Does that mean someone from the Ye Family would make a move against me?"

After voicing this deduction, Lu Zixun took a cautious breath, his face turning bitter: "They said it wouldn’t be this outrageous; how did it suddenly turn into infighting?"

"Strife between people is one thing; between humans and cats..."

Pausing, Zeng Haoyang pursed his lips, "To put it another way, it could also be called, eliminating an external foe."

The last three words, coming from Zeng Haoyang’s mouth, suddenly made Lu Zixun feel a chill in his heart.

What the hell are these people?

Just as he was about to say he’d withdraw from STO, Lu Zixun opened his mouth but still didn’t speak.

If he withdrew now, wouldn’t he be admitting to being an "external enemy?" That would make things even more troublesome.

Calming himself down, Lu Zixun raised his head to look at Zeng Haoyang with an expression of utter calmness, "How long will it be necessary to stay?"

Zeng Haoyang held up two fingers and slowly said, "At least two weeks."

Xiong Kang, however, furrowed his brows, feeling that something seemed off about Lu Zixun.

So he quickly said, "There hasn’t been much going on in Chunhua City recently; I’ll watch over you when you patrol at night."

"Mm."

Nodding slightly, Zeng Haoyang said softly, "When the time comes, if anyone dares to come at you, you can kill them directly, or call for Xiong Kang if you can’t beat them."

The matter-of-fact tone was filled with murderous intent, but Lu Zixun felt warmth in his heart.

Having done so much for STO, he still received recognition.

"After this ’probationary period’ at school ends, my little sister should have finished her exams. I want to leave STO and stay by her side."

Warm sentiments aside, Lu Zixun still wanted to return to Lin Siyin’s side.

Having encountered so many abnormal creatures, Lu Zixun became increasingly worried about Lin Siyin’s safety.

"There’s no need to leave STO. If you encounter something too powerful, you can still ask for help, right?"

Upon hearing Lu Zixun’s desire to withdraw from STO, Xiong Kang suddenly panicked, gesturing furiously to Zeng Haoyang by his side.

Seeing a strange expression on Zeng Haoyang’s face, he coughed lightly and said, "Your little sister... is Lin Siyin, right? According to the intelligence we analyzed, within a month at the latest, Tan Ye will make a comeback, and the location will be in Lingchuan City."

"What!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun instantly became anxious.

He abruptly stood up, looking directly at Zeng Haoyang, "Old man, are you serious?"

He had thought Tan Ye was dead in Zone Q, but this bastard was still alive and planning to go to Lingchuan City.

Thinking about the "covetous value" within the system’s feeling value, Lu Zixun got the chills.

"Hey, calm down."

Squatting down and patting Lu Zixun’s head, Zeng Haoyang said calmly, "For the safety of your little sister, you’d better not leave STO just yet. After all, STO is responsible for protecting the safety of its members... and their family."

After thinking for a moment, Zeng Haoyang still chose to use the word ’family’. A master counts as family, right?

After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Zixun reluctantly nodded.

Although he despised the discriminatory looks from STO, for Lin Siyin’s safety, Lu Zixun chose to compromise.

"All right, let’s get you a smartphone and maybe a power bank and other stuff."

Bending down to pick up Lu Zixun, Zeng Haoyang headed for the training room’s exit, "After all, it gets pretty boring staying up all night. With a smartphone, you can also watch online courses and learn some knowledge."

"?"

With a puzzled expression on his face, Lu Zixun was carried out by Zeng Haoyang.

Hearing Zeng Haoyang coaxing Lu Zixun with his words, Xiong Kang stood still thinking for a moment.

Xiong Kang couldn’t help but raise a thumbs-up behind Zeng Haoyang’s back, Shadow upright, indeed, the older the ginger, the spicier it is.

...

"Lin Qiang, I’ve booked a flight for the day after tomorrow; I should arrive in Chunhua City around noon. Come pick me up with Da Ju, okay?"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Siyin looked at the screensaver of Lu Zixun sleeping, a sweet smile appearing on her face.
