Lounge.
"Please wait a moment. Once the meeting is over, Teacher will come over."
Lin Wei had someone bring tea, then sat down to one side herself.
Commander Bai looked at her. "Lin Wei, you're coming with us to the Ruins, right?"
Lin Wei raised her head, her eyes somewhat despondent. She shook her head. "I want to go too, but Teacher told me to stay behind."
Commander Bai couldn't help asking, "Why?"
Lin Wei raised her head and looked at the ceiling, where paintings related to the Ruins were displayed. "Teacher said that all future expeditions to the Ruins will be arranged this way. She and I can only send one person, not both of us together."
"It's to prevent accidents from happening in the Ruins. If something happened to both of us, the Strategic Affairs Department would be affected in its research on the Ruins, as well as in the subsequent deciphering of cultivation techniques and other matters."
Hearing this, Luo Yan nodded. Jia Miao's decision was very rational.
He had already gone to the Ruins before and knew full well that all kinds of dangers existed there. If one wasn't careful, one might never return.
Jia Miao and Lin Wei had both made tremendous contributions to research on the Ruins. Losing them both at the same time would be a huge loss for the Strategic Affairs Department.
Lin Wei gently clenched her fists. "I only hate that I didn't learn quickly enough or learn enough."
"Especially when it comes to the Ancient People's script. My attainments still aren't enough to shoulder the responsibility. Otherwise, I should be the one going while Teacher stays behind."
"She's more important than I am!"
Commander Bai opened his mouth, wanting to comfort her, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.
