The three of them, Xiao Chuihuo included, quickly headed for the agreed location, ready to begin today's beast horde decapitation mission!
Meanwhile, Yang Jian began making the day's pre-battle arrangements.
Orders were issued in an orderly fashion. Ziyuan sat at the desk with her head lowered, her leg bouncing nonstop. She seemed distracted.
She stared at the bubbles in her glass, lost in thought, with huge dark circles under her eyes.
She clearly hadn't been sleeping well these past few days.
Just then, Yang Jian said, "Uncle Ye, we've only just finished bringing Dao Yi City under our control. The City Fortress there still isn't fully built!"
"The beast horde nearby has been stirring again lately. Head over to Dao Yi City later and hold the line there. Clear out the beasts in the area!"
Ye Zhenguo grinned.

The entire meeting room fell silent in an instant. The smile froze on Ye Zhenguo's face.
Everyone looked at Ziyuan in confusion.
Ye Zhenguo broke out in a cold sweat.

Yang Jian furrowed his brow. "What's wrong? Did you dream about something?"
Ziyuan swallowed and forced a smile. "N-no, nothing. Can't you see how dark my circles are? I haven't been sleeping well these past few days, let alone dreaming."
"I just think Grandpa Ye might not be very efficient at clearing out the beasts around Luo City!"
"It'd be better to send someone else..."
