Before the squad captain could refuse, Ye Qingwei added, "Captain, don't worry. You should have been the one to make this report anyway. As for Dong Yi, there's nothing he can do to me!"
Ye Qingwei definitely could not defeat Dong Yi as she was now, but Lan Qi was someone the Ghost Doctor valued. Being valued by the Ghost Doctor meant he was superior to others in every aspect.
The squad captain froze at those words. After thinking for a moment, he declined, "You should make the report instead. After all, you're someone the Ghost Doctor values."
"No need, Captain. This should have been your responsibility." Ye Qingwei lowered her voice and looked toward the mine. "I'm fairly familiar with Dong Yi too. I have a way to bring him back, so don't worry!"
"Good lad." The exploration captain chuckled. Lan Qi asking him to make the report was effectively giving him an opportunity—an opportunity to meet the Ghost Doctor and report to him.
On the Mithril Continent, ordinary people simply could not meet a level-nine powerhouse like the Ghost Doctor.
Living beings were divided into different circles according to their levels. The circles of level-eight and level-nine beings were entirely different.
Even level-eight beings generally did not know the whereabouts of level-nine beings, much less level-sevens. Ordinary level-sevens could never meet level-nines.
This exploration captain had merely been an ordinary level-seven on the Mithril Continent. Only after coming to the Earth Plane had his status risen somewhat.
Now, being sent by the Ghost Doctor to explore the mine was a stroke of fortune for him.
However, with Lan Qi in the team, the captain had to think things through carefully.
Reporting to the Ghost Doctor in person would certainly leave some impression of him on the Ghost Doctor,
