After Xiang Xing and the other two explained the whole story, March 7th covered her mouth in surprise.
"Oh, oh, oh... Teacher Ye Yan, so you did all this behind our backs last night?"
Dan Heng wasn't surprised at all, after all, Ye Yan didn't need to sleep, and it was impossible for him to only help him improve the Cloud-Piercer in one night.
Xing seemed unwilling to talk about what happened last night. That wicked milk tea... Aeon!
"Wow! Boss Ye Yan, you're so kind!" Sampo also tried to flatter him, but no one paid any attention.
"But that very night, my mother summoned me and ordered me to lead troops to capture you. What happened? I don't understand..."
"Hey~ It's common to be misunderstood, we're definitely here to help you!" March 7th said confidently. The Nameless is highly regarded and reliable throughout the world.
" The Silvermane Guards have all been ordered to retreat to the ground. I cannot act as Silvermane Guards here."
"Let's take a temporary truce and cooperate before we return to Earth," Bronya invited the four.
"To prove it, you can ask me any questions, and I will answer them truthfully."
In the Underworld, the only people Bronya interacted with were Ye Yan and his group of five; she even included Sampo in her count.
"Miss Bronya, could you please explain in more detail... the charges the Supreme Guardian handed down against us?" This was what Ye Yan was most concerned about.
Bronya nodded and recounted the events of the previous night in detail.
" The Supreme Guardian says you are followers of the [ Eternity ] Aeon... whose forces are spread throughout the galaxy, resorting to any means to promote His good name, committing countless atrocities throughout the universe. This includes forcibly invading a planet and igniting the sun to scorch its surface with massive radiation..."
Listening to Bronya's vivid retelling of last night's conversation, Sampo, who was eavesdropping, twitched at the corner of his mouth. It's true that the Stellaron is intelligent... but isn't it a bit too dark?
Sampo shuddered; it sounded like something God of Elation would say.
"Hey, hey, hey, isn't this something only the Antimatter Legion and the Lord Ravager would do?! They're actually trying to shift the blame onto us!"
March 7th complained, "Could this Stellaron really be related to Nanook? This is such a smear against the [ Eternity ] Aeon."
"Interesting. Second question: Why do you want to work with us?"
Ye Yan was now certain that anyone who could say such a thing was simply being Cocolia by Aha... Stellaron wasn't that smart.
I knew this guy wouldn't just stand by and watch; he was definitely going to pull some strings.
This planet offers Aha a lot of fun, such as dispelling the Eternal Freeze, bringing spring to Jarilo-VI, ushering in a new era, and a happy ending!
Is that really the case? As the Eternal Freeze recedes, it's not just spring that's reviving, but also the Antimatter Legion.
Without the help of the Astral Express, it would have been another fierce battle, and the cycle would have continued endlessly.
"I've always felt that something important is being hidden. Whether it's the actions of the Architects, my mother, or the Silvermane Guards, there's always something unnatural about them..."
"After meeting you, one unexpected and surprising thing after another happened, and we even ended up in a sealed underground area."
"I have a feeling that being with you all will allow me to find the missing clues—to unravel my doubts."
"You're a really nice person~" Bronya replied, and Xing gave her a thumbs up.
I never expected that he was also a pitiful person who was kept in the dark by the Supreme Guardian; Xingneng can understand.
Dan Heng looked at Bronya: "Our questions are over. Miss Bronya, is there anything you'd like to ask us?"
"There are indeed many... but it's not the time yet. It's time to go and meet [ Wildfire ]."
After a series of adventures in the mining area, the conflict between the wanderers and [ Wildfire ] was resolved, and the group successfully met Oleg and learned about their next objective.
March 7th and Seele were stunned when they saw Clara happily waving and greeting Ye Yan.
" Teacher Ye Yan, are all the people in the Underworld acquaintances of yours?"
Ye Yan shook his head. "Unfortunately, I only know these two."
With Ye Yan present, Svarog's attitude was unusually friendly, preventing [ Wildfire ] from causing any trouble.
Is this really the Svarog they know? They tried to contact Svarog multiple times, but were always turned away. Svarog had no intention of talking to them and only believed in calculated, rigid principles.
Things are different now. The arrival of Ye Yan and his group made Svarog acknowledge the presence of an external variable, and things changed. Along the way, they did not clash with Svarog's Automaton Soldier.
The two sides had a friendly exchange and decided to set off for the Mechanical Settlement early the next morning.
The Stellaron has a long history, and there is no better source of information in the Underworld than Svarog.
After Svarog and Clara left, Oleg remarked, "It's rare for things to go so smoothly underground, all thanks to everyone's help. It's getting late, you must be exhausted. Go back to town and rest, I'll take care of everything."
Ye Yan stretched, feeling that leisurely times were always so wonderful. He decided to continue slacking off for the next few days.
Speaking of slacking off... I wonder if Qingque has managed her shop properly.
Ye Yan's requirements weren't high; he just needed to open the shop for half an hour each day. If he didn't open the shop for a long time, he would truly become one of the terrifying folk legends of the Xianzhou.
"Another day off? I'm traumatized by the idea of taking a break in this world..." March 7th recalled a bad memory; so much had happened that day.
Ah, I feel a little tired.
Ye Yan took out a cup of milk tea... At times like these, you need to drink sweet drinks to relax your tired body and mind.
After a busy day, I'm too exhausted to do anything else. I'll go back to the hotel and contemplate the concept of " Eternity."
"Is it that tiring?"
Seele was taken aback. She hadn't really seen Ye Yan make a move. He just followed behind the group and rarely spoke, only taking care of repairing the scrapped minecarts.
Occasionally, he would chat with Dan Heng next to him for a few minutes, but it was always in a way that Seele couldn't understand.
As for Bronya Silvermane Guards, Seele's opinion of her had changed somewhat; she had heard that Bronya was a leader and had excellent command skills.
Seele had assumed that the Silvermane Guards were all cold-blooded and ruthless, blindly obeying the Supreme Guardian's orders to evacuate the Underworld Underworld and leave it to Self-Annihilation.
But Bronya gave her a feeling... that Ena.
At the Goethe Grand Hotel, Bronya was called away for a talk by Oleg, Ye Yan brought the three of them there.
"So, should we just rest today? Or should we wander around some more?" March 7th asked for everyone's opinion.
Ye Yan's workday is over. Although he didn't do much today, it's time to clock out.
"Youth is wonderful; it's full of energy."
" Teacher Ye Yan, don't be so down... You're still young!"
"Ha, even someone as strong as Milk Tea Aeon... will be worn down by the torrent of Years!" Star put her hands on her hips, looking incredibly energetic, having successfully turned the tables!
" Milk Tea Aeon... Pfft~ No wonder he's a star, he could come up with such a nickname."
"Tonight... send someone to keep watch."
Dan Heng suggested that although he had not sensed any danger from Oleg and the others, it was always necessary to be cautious, as one never knows whether tomorrow or an accident will come first.
He looked at Ye Yan, "Will you guard... or should I guard?"
Judging from Ye Yan's appearance, he's probably faking it... Given that he doesn't need sleep, it's unlikely he'll have any fatigue points; he's just simply too lazy to work.
"Either is fine, how about we guard it together?"
"You two teachers are very understanding and righteous, so I will take my leave now!" Xing said to the two of them with her hands clasped in a fist, suddenly adopting an ancient style.
Upon hearing this, the image of the fox-eared girl flashed through Ye Yan's mind.
"Ah... yawn, I suddenly feel sleepy..." March 7th rubbed his eyes, pretending to be very sleepy.
" Miss March 7th looks quite energetic."
"No, no way! I've never stayed up all night before... Do you know how bad it is for your skin to stay up all night...?" March 7th looked very aggrieved, and Xing, standing next to her, was deeply moved by this scene.
"Protecting the beautiful girl's face is my duty! I'll take the night watch!"
