n“Hahaha…” Kong Li burst out laughing.

nNiu Li and Yuwen Xuan were on the brink of tears. They felt that they got abandoned by the entire world.

nIn the end, they were the outsiders!

nHow saddening!

nWang Teng shook his head and smiled when he saw their expressions. “Come on, are you planning to snatch from a lady?”

n“Sigh, talk is cheap. You can make irresponsible remarks because your subordinates have already chosen their mount,” Niu Li replied.

n“What can I do? I was the one who tamed the Gale Wolves.” Wang Teng smirked.

n“Alright, you can stay here and choose your mounts slowly. Afterward, get familiar with the wolves. Don’t leave before your mission comes. Keep hidden, and don’t expose yourselves. Wang Teng, follow me!” Dan Taixuan said.

nShe rose into the air after she finished speaking.

n

n

n“Where are we going?” Wang Teng asked curiously as he chased after his master promptly.

nNiu Li and the others glanced at one another when they saw the two of them flying away. Their gazes were ambiguous.

n“Looking at the direction, Chief Commander is bringing Wang Teng to Star Maple City,” Niu Li said.

n“She’s giving favored treatment to Wang Teng. I’m so envious. I wish I could be Chief Commander’s disciple,” Kong Li complained.

n“You’re thinking too much.” Yuwen Xuan sneered.

n“Why can’t I think about it?” Kong Li glared at him. “Chief Commander is our Huanghai’s principal. I’m half her disciple too!”

n“Tsk, I’m not going to waste my time with you. Hurry up and choose your Gale Wolves. We’re still waiting for you!” Yuwen Xuan scorned.

n…

nWang Teng followed Dan Taixuan and asked, “Are we going to Star Maple City?”

n“Just follow me. Why are you asking so much?” Dan Taixuan glanced at him. Suddenly, she smiled. “Your mask is not bad.”

n“Don’t let me find out who played this bad joke on me. If not…” Wang Teng got angry the moment he remembered the mask.

n“If not?” Dan Taixuan smiled at him ambiguously.

n“Master, are you the one who found this mask?” Wang Teng asked curiously, his heart skipping a beat.

n“Of course!” Dan Taixuan nodded and admitted it directly. “I specially designed this for my beloved disciple, but you’re so ungrateful. This is depressing.”

nWang Teng stared at Dan Taixuan in shock.

nIn the past, he would never have imagined that Dan Taixuan had designed this mask.

nHow bored are you!

nYou’re a Chief Commander, but you went to design a mask? Seriously?!

nAlso, what do you mean by beloved disciple?

nWasn’t he always the good-for-nothing? When did he advance to become her beloved disciple? Did he hold such an important position in her heart?

nHe felt so overwhelmed by the flattery and honor that a chill went up to his spine.

nWang Teng took a few steps back and asked carefully, “Can you speak properly?”

n“Go away!”

n“Anyway, master, how did you know I would get this mask?” Wang Teng asked.

n“Because you’re my beloved disciple! I believed that you would choose the strongest team,” Dan Taixuan said blatantly.

n“Can you not call me your beloved disciple? I feel scared.” Wang Teng was in a dilemma.

n“Have I been too gentle recently?” Dan Taixuan squinted, a dangerous gaze shooting out of her eyes.

n“Cough, erm, actually, I’m thankful for your trust,” Wang Teng said weakly.

n“That’s more like it. All you need to do is to accept the gift your master gave you, my beloved disciple.” Dan Taixuan nodded in satisfaction.

nWang Teng laughed awkwardly. He could feel his blood running cold.

nThere was something wrong with Dan Taixuan today!

nShe kept calling him her beloved disciple. Was she preparing to kill him and change to a new disciple because she didn’t like him anymore?

nMaybe she was being sarcastic.

nThat’s right, that must be it!

nMaster is an evil person.

nWang Teng let his thoughts run wild. He felt uneasy. This was so scary.

n…

nAfter some time, a city appeared in front of them.

nDan Taixuan hid her presence, so no one detected her. She landed in the city with Wang Teng.

nThe environment in the city was different from what Wang Teng expected. It was exceptionally calm. It seemed no different from a typical day.

n“Do you find it weird?” Dan Taixuan smiled and asked.

n“A little.” Wang Teng nodded.

n“It’s nothing. Until the last moment, everything inside the city will run as usual,” Dan Taixuan explained.

nWang Teng guessed the reason. They had been cautious all this while. Even when they entered the city, Dan Taixuan hid her aura. She was afraid of alerting the dark apparitions.

nIt might seem impossible that dark apparitions could appear here, but they would have other ways of collecting information within the city.

n“Let’s go. I’ll bring you to meet a few people,” Dan Taixuan said.

n“Who?” Wang Teng asked.

n“You’ll know once you see them. My lovely disciple, please don’t embarrass your master.” Dan Taixuan smiled. “If not, you’re dead!”

nWang Teng: …

nIt’s here, it’s here.

nAs expected, she had a motive!

n“Don’t worry, I’ll perform well and not embarrass you.” Wang Teng nodded firmly.

n“That’s good.” Dan Taixuan smiled and rubbed the back of his head.

nWang Teng shuddered, his head turning numb.

nThis is frightening!

n…

nThe layout of Star Maple City adopted the classic military style. However, it was different from Black Sparrow City and Crimson Tiger City. The architecture of the buildings had the influence of the Xingwu Continent.

nHowever, it seemed to have referred to Earth’s military cities for their layout. You could faintly see the shadow of the other military cities here.

nThe Xingwu Continent had also been influenced by Earth over the years.

nThe two of them passed through many streets and finally arrived at a three-level octagon tower in the middle of the city.

n“This is the central command center of Star Maple City,” Dan Taixuan introduced nonchalantly.

nWang Teng raised his head. This building was interesting.

nThey stepped into the building. The guards at the side recognized Dan Taixuan and placed their fists on their chest as they bowed to her slightly. This was the military salute of the Xingwu Continent.

n

n

nDan Taixuan nodded. She brought Wang Teng all the way to the third level.

nThe moment they entered the lobby, they saw a huge model of Star Maple City placed in the middle of the room. The panorama layout of the city floated above the model.

nMany people were standing around the model, debating in loud voices.

nThere were also a few people wearing black-red military uniforms standing at the side helplessly.

nWhen they saw Dan Taixuan walking in, a refined-looking middle-aged man said, “Taixuan, you’re back!” His eyes lit up when he saw her.

n“How’s the situation?” Dan Taixuan glanced at the people who were arguing.

n“There’s no conclusion yet.” The refined-looking man shook his head. Then, he noticed Wang Teng and asked in surprise, “This is?”

n“My disciple!” Dan Taixuan replied.

nWang Teng wasn’t interested in their conversation. Instead, all his attention was on the people who were quarreling.

nNo, his attention was on the huge attribute bubbles beside them..
