"Alright."
In the central command room, Yang Xin responded to the three people seated opposite her while processing the documents in her hands.
After a brief pause, she said to Jiang An beside her, "Jiang An, I'll have to trouble you."
Hearing from Ye Chenyang that Xu Xiaoan could absorb the power of [Chaos] within the Blood Sea, Yang Xin was indeed somewhat surprised.
But as the newly appointed acting commander-in-chief, she could not easily leave her post and could only have Jiang An make the arrangements.
"It's no trouble. Just a small favor."
Jiang An nodded.
Wasn't it just looking after a child?
Thanks to their elderly family head, everyone in the Jiang Family was quite skilled at this.
"Then... I'll leave Xiaoan to you, Senior Jiang."
Jiang Mian thanked him, then pulled Ye Chenyang out the door.
"Sister Mian!"
Xu Xiaoan hurried after them, her eyes clearly carrying a trace of reluctance.
Jiang Mian stopped and turned around, smiling gently at her.
"What is it?"
Xu Xiaoan opened her mouth, yet did not know what to say.
Seeing this, Jiang Mian smiled and shook her head, reaching out to pinch her cheek.
"You've grown so tall, yet you're still just a child..."
Xu Xiaoan let out a whimper and muttered softly, "I'm not. I'm only like this in front of Sister Mian."
"Mhm, I know. Xiaoan is already a mature adult."
Jiang Mian patted her shoulder, slipped a Save Point into her hand, and comforted her as though coaxing a child.
"Then we're heading off. Call if anything comes up, okay? Bye-bye~"
With that, she waved. Under Xu Xiaoan's reluctant gaze, she and Ye Chenyang vanished around the end of the corridor.
In the dark Blood Sea, two uninvited guests arrived in the area Xu Xiaoan had cleared.
