The spear shattered a patch of sword light, but it was utterly ineffective against a dense barrage of blades.
A tidal wave of blades surged forth, Liu Xiaogang twisted his body with all his might to dodge the barrage of attacks.
But his body was still covered in bloody wounds, and his clothes were torn to shreds.
"Brother Xiaogang, don't move! I'll stop the bleeding right away!"
Si Xiaobei immediately picked up the prepared first-aid kit, took out bandages, and began to give Liu Xiaogang a simple bandage.
"Phew~ Luckily the wounds aren't deep, a bandage will do, no stitches needed."
"That's great." Liu Xiaogang gave a wry smile, realizing he had been outmaneuvered by a newcomer who had just arrived.
Sigh, who can I blame? It was our own fault for practicing together.
Ye Yiqing put the knife away and came over to check on Liu Xiaogang.
" Xiao Gangzi, I'll let you show off, okay?"
Feng Xuan walked over with a smile and patted Liu Xiaogang on the shoulder.
"Hey, you, ouch..."
Liu Xiaogang was about to get angry, he was unable to speak because of the pain from his wounds.
Ye Yiqing was supporting Liu Xiaogang when she suddenly felt something approaching. She turned her head and saw Xing Lan rushing over excitedly.
Wow! Your swordsmanship is so cool! Who taught you? Can you teach me?
"And another thing, is that sword a demon sword? A sword that generated demonic energy because it killed too many people!"
"Uh, this..." Ye Yiqing hesitated slightly when faced with Xing Lan's question.
My eyes were filled with a starry Xing Lan, and then someone suddenly patted me on the head.
"Ouch! Captain, what are you doing...?"
Xing Lan covered her head and looked at Sun Hai with a wronged expression.
"Stop fooling around, or the victory celebration for Hela will be ruined."
As he spoke, he pointed upwards.
Xing Lan then realized, "Oh, right! We still need to throw a victory celebration for Hela!"
"You guys go ahead, I need to accompany Brother Xiaogang to the infirmary for his treatment."
Si Xiaobei addressed the group, then looked towards Nanming, but there was no one there.
"Hey? Where are Brother Nanming and Sister Hela?"
Si Xiaobei looked around, but still couldn't find them.
Xing Lan looked around, but still couldn't see them.
"Oh, they went upstairs to prepare first, and Ye Ciqing followed."
Ye Yiqing addressed the crowd.
"Oh, let's go then! Don't keep them waiting!" With that, Xing Lan took the lead and walked upstairs.
"Then I'll be going now, thank you for your help." Ye Yiqing said to Si Xiaobei and followed her upstairs.
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all," Si Xiaobei waved her hand.
"Goodbye, Xiao Gangzi! Don't worry, I'll leave you a few bones so you can thank me properly~"
Feng Xuan waved to Liu Xiaogang, then put his hands in his pockets and walked away with a flourish.
Liu Xiaogang's eyelids twitched at the sight. " Fengzi, you should be glad I'm injured now and can't stab you with a gun."
Inside the barbershop.
Wow, you've prepared so much food! It's almost a Manchu Han Imperial Feast! Can we possibly finish it all?
Ye Ciqing looked at the dozens of dishes on the large table and clicked his tongue in amazement.
Hela, meanwhile, was lying on the table, her eyes fixed on the delicious food.
"They can finish it, after all, we have two super big eaters here."
Nanming placed the last two dishes on the table, then smiled gently at Hela, who was practically drooling with envy.
Don't worry, we can eat when they arrive.
"Mmm." Hela nodded obediently.
"I'm here! Wow, so much food!"
Xing Lan arrived right after I finished speaking, and seeing the table full of delicious food, I almost drooled.
" Hela, we're in for a treat today!" Xing Lan sat down next to Hela.
Then the rest of the people arrived one after another.
Ye Yiqing sat down on the other side of Hela, leaning against her, and Ye Ciqing sat down next to Ye Yiqing.
Everyone took their seats, but no one touched their chopsticks; instead, they waited patiently.
"Hey? Why haven't you guys eaten yet...?"
Si Xiaobei helped Liu Xiaogang over, and seeing that no one had moved, she was somewhat at a loss.
"Oh, Xiaobei, you're being too polite." Liu Xiaogang put his arm around Si Xiaobei.
"Everyone definitely needs to wait until everyone arrives before they start eating together."
"Yes, yes, yes! Xiaobei, come and eat quickly, Hela and I can't wait!"
Si Xiaobei nodded hurriedly and walked over.
Of the remaining two seats, I sat down next to Nanming without hesitation.
Liu Xiaogang reluctantly sat down next to Feng Xuan.
Upon seeing Ye Yiqing sitting next to Hela, her body and heart trembled violently.
Then I heard something break.
Feng Xuan sighed and gently patted Liu Xiaogang's shoulder.
" Gangzi, we need to be more open-minded. We can't put all our eggs in one basket, right?"
Feng Xuan seemed to be offering well-intentioned advice, but only after removing the corners of his mouth from his smile.
"Alright, everyone, listen to me."
Sun Hai, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly spoke and raised his wine glass.
"Today, Hela and the Ye brothers, friends from our Special Investigation Squad, officially join our team."
"Although I have had different experiences, and have met different people and experienced different things."
"But once you join our team, we're comrades-in-arms, family."
"On behalf of the Special Investigation Squad, I welcome you all."
"Welcome!"
"Welcome..."
The others also raised their glasses in a warm welcome.
Ye Yiqing also raised his glass to thank everyone.
Thank you everyone!
Hela followed suit, raising her glass to express her gratitude.
"Thanks."
"Thank you all too~" Ye Ciqing also raised his glass with a grin.
Everyone formed a circle and clinked glasses!
"Alright everyone, let's eat and drink to our hearts' content and have a good time."
No sooner had Sun Hai finished speaking than Hela grabbed the roast suckling pig in front of her and took a bite.
"Hey, Hela, slow down, slow down!" Xing Lan hurriedly reached out to stop her.
Ye Yiqing was already used to it. "Indeed, eat a little slower, let me cut it for you."
"Onii-chan~ I need you to cut this for me~"
"Stop fooling around."
"Tch! He forgets his friends for a pretty face."
Liu Xiaogang channeled his grief and anger into his appetite and began to eat heartily.
"Sigh~ I guess I should listen to my dad after all~"
"Pah!" Liu Xiaogang spat the chicken bone directly onto Feng Xuan's face.
"Damn it! You gorilla, you're asking for trouble!"
Feng Xuan, not to be outdone, began to fight back.
The atmosphere became lively amidst the noise of the crowd.
Looking at the cheerful atmosphere and the happy people around them.
Sun Hai's perpetually icy face broke into a smile at this moment.
Suddenly, a cake was placed in front of me.
Si Xiaobei gave Sun Hai a bright, childlike smile.
"Captain, try this. It's my favorite cake. Brother Nanming bought it for me especially."
Sun Hai was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, took the cake, and took a bite.
So sweet.
