Jiang Fan quickly put these random thoughts out of his mind.

The scene before him suddenly gave him an incredibly strong feeling of déjà vu.

That feeling is getting stronger and stronger!

How can I describe that feeling?

He couldn't quite describe it; if he had to sum it up in two words, it would be...

not good!

The moment those two words formed in my mind, I didn't even have time to Three-Second Prediction instinctively taking two or three steps back.

It was because of these two or three steps that Bu Yingjun to cling to someone's leg failed.

"Oh my!"

Bu Yingjun had originally planned to sneak up and grab Jiang Fan's leg. He was about to succeed when Jiang Fan unexpectedly took a few steps back, causing him to fall flat on his face, getting a mouthful of dirt and grass.

Seeing this, Jiang Fan felt relieved that he had escaped quickly.

In truth, no matter how fast he retreated when facing Zhou Yanchen, it was all in vain.

Even Three-Second Prediction isn't enough!!!

It seems this really is a skill passed down through generations in the Zhou Family.

Bu Yingjun spat out the dirt and grass scraps in his mouth, gave Jiang Fan a resentful look, and then spoke again.

" Little Tang, you're really not being fair. It's about Advanced Psychic, why didn't you tell us?"

With Bu Yingjun taking the lead, Shen Xu Yi Tang also joined in the complaints.

"Yes, if you had told us earlier, we could have focused our protection efforts on you."

"I knew it! How could you know the exact location of the demonic beast in advance, especially back in the Ten Thousand Feathers Abyss? There were so many small nests crisscrossing in the Crimson Abyss Bird's nest, it was like a maze. And you just randomly pointed to one of the nests and it was the right one. There aren't that many coincidences in this world. It seems that only Spirit Master could do that."

When everyone finished complaining, they all turned their attention to Wei Cangyue.

"If we're talking about who's not being fair, it has to be the Captain Wei."

"Exactly! It's one thing if Little Tang didn't tell, but you, Captain Wei, are our leader! You actually helped Little Tang keep it from us; you don't treat us like brothers!"

"Aww--" Bu Yingjun exaggeratedly wiped non-existent tears from his face, pretending to be heartbroken.

"We brothers have risked our lives for you for so many years, and you treat us like outsiders? We're heartbroken, so heartbroken!"

Everyone knows that these words were just banter between the brothers; no one really meant them, and no one would take them seriously.

"Take back your terrible acting; at least shed a single tear."

After Wei Cangyue said something without saying anything, his usually unserious face instantly turned serious, like a Sichuan opera face-changing act.

At the same time, his tone of voice when speaking to the crowd became extremely solemn.

"None of you are allowed to tell anyone about what happened today, not because we're afraid other teams will poach our members, but because we're concerned for Tang Fan's safety!"

Although Commander Wei Jiu was secretly protecting him, he could tell that Wei Jiu didn't seem to be that willing.

This can be seen from Wei Jiu's attitude towards Jiang Fan just now.

Furthermore, in the event of some unexpected or sudden situations, even Wei Jiu might not be able to react immediately.

Leaving aside the future, let's just talk about what happened not long ago: Jiang Fan was dragged away by an unknown enemy right under Wei Jiu's nose.

That speed and that aura felt completely on par with Wei Jiu, and perhaps even slightly superior.

As for how Wei Jiu brought Jiang Fan back safely, that remains unknown.

"Clear!"

The expressions of Bu Yingjun and the other two also became serious.

The serious atmosphere only lasted for about ten seconds before the team quickly returned to their usual carefree demeanor.

"Hahaha--Our team now has Advanced Psychic! This means we'll not only pass this assessment, but we'll pass every assessment to come!"

"It's not just a smooth pass, I think it's an overachievement!"

For a time, everyone was filled with hope for the future, feeling as if they were all basking in the sunshine, which was incredibly wonderful.

"Huh? That's right." Shen Xu suddenly remembered something, and his gaze fell back on Jiang Fan's heavily covered face, his eyes full of inquiry and doubt.

"As everyone knows, our Great Xia only has two Advanced Psychic, Lin Chufeng and Yuan Yu. You're probably not one of them, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Tang and Bu Yingjun both looked at Jiang Fan, their eyes burning with desire as if they wanted to melt away the fabric covering Jiang Fan's face.

Bu Yingjun, in particular, began to fidget with his hands, as if he couldn't resist tearing off Jiang Fan's disguise at any moment.

Jiang Fan shook his head. "No."

"I told you they used to appear on news channels frequently. I believe any Great Xia would recognize them. Although you're well-covered, you don't resemble them at all, except for the fact that you're both Advanced Psychic," Shen Xu analyzed, stroking his chin.

After saying that, she suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Jiang Fan.

Bu Yingjun Yi Tang reacted in exactly the same way, both staring wide-eyed at Jiang Fan.

It wasn't Lin Chufeng or Yuan Yu, which means that their Great Xia has a new Spirit Master, and Advanced Psychic at that!

In this way, the peace and stability of their Great Xia will have a new guarantee!

Those present were all members of the Divine Wind Camp, the core strategic force protecting the Great Xia. Their duty was to defend the territory and the people, uphold national dignity, and resist external risks.

Therefore, when they learned that their Great Xia had gained another rare Spirit Master, their heartfelt joy was simply uncontrollable.

This is the spirit of the Great Xia Divine Wind Camp!

Of course, just as ten fingers are not all the same length, lotus flowers rising from the water are not all the same height.

Every group has its differences; that is to say, there are a few bad individuals in the Divine Wind Camp, such as the few rotten apples in the Edge-Breaking Squad.

But this does not affect the overall situation.

With little time left before the mission was due, Jiang Fan stopped using his Psychic Power secretly as before. This resulted in the Sharp Edge Squad achieving an unprecedented level of efficiency in hunting monsters, with their harvest being incredibly abundant.

On their last day, as they were preparing to leave, they encountered Ye Qizhen and his protectors once again.

What stunned Jiang Fan and his group was that, unlike when they had met them a few days ago, these people, including Ye Qizhen, were all disheveled, ragged, and in a sorry state; some of them had even lost their shoes.

Especially Ye Qizhen.

Where was his usual refined and gentle demeanor? His once smooth hair looked as if it had been scorched, no, it should be said as if it had been struck by lightning.
