That afternoon, Guan Tong and Shangyuan Zi packed their luggage and left the estate.
A car was already waiting at the main gate.
The window rolled down, revealing Sigaoxin's face.
"Get in. I'll give you a ride."
The two got in. Guan Tong said, "Sorry for the trouble, Commander Sigaoxin."
After Yelena stabilized the situation, she had officially appointed Sigaoxin as Xisiya's legion commander. Such a position truly had to be entrusted to someone she trusted most.
"I don't think I've thanked you yet." Sigaoxin looked at Guan Tong through the rearview mirror. "You and Miss Shangyuan Zi helped us tremendously this time. If you need my help with anything in the future, just say the word."
"Alright." Guan Tong did not stand on ceremony. He nodded. "I'll remember that."
From the manor attic, Yelena watched the car carrying the two of them gradually disappear into the distance, feeling a wave of melancholy.
Sigaoxin drove them to the edge of the capital. After that, they would travel on their own and had no plans to take planes or other public transportation.
"Then we'll be on our way."
"Wait a moment."
Sigaoxin walked up to them, her expression somewhat complicated.
"There are a few things I want to say to you. No one told me to say them—I want to say them myself... The Consul hardly has any friends. While you were here, there were some crises, but I know she was actually very happy inside."
Guan Tong and Shangyuan Zi both fell silent.
"So, out of selfishness, I hope you'll come to Xisiya often to see her."
Sigaoxin looked at Guan Tong, knowing that he was the one Yelena cared about. "I heard from the Consul that you established an organization meant to uncover the truth behind the Apocalypse Rules.
