As night falls, the vast jungle gradually becomes quiet, with only some small nocturnal creatures making rustling noises from time to time.

  Yun Zheng arranged for his team members to keep watch, and the rest of the people lit a bonfire in the camp, gathering in groups of three or five. If it were normal, the sentinels would chat and laugh, or take the opportunity to show their courtesy to the two female guides. But after the monkey incident in the evening, everyone seemed a little silent, and from time to time secretly glanced at Han Jingcheng who was sitting alone and concentrating on roasting dinner.

  In the light of the camp lanterns and campfires, his cold and handsome face was cast in a thick black shadow, making him look even more gloomy and terrifying.

  He Yao watched this scene and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She originally thought Han Jingcheng was a good person, and she felt a little guilty. But he actually killed his teammates for a small verbal dispute, and it was no wonder that he had a rift with everyone.

  He Yao raised her head and glanced at Yun Zheng, and met his gaze. Yun Zheng nodded slightly, and was about to reach out and hold He Yao to comfort her, but Jiang Meiqing suddenly stood up and walked over, interrupting his action.

  "Captain Yun, you must be hungry after working so hard for so long. I just roasted this locust leg. It will fill your stomach." Jiang Meiqing said with a smile.

  The sentinels consumed a lot of energy and got hungry quickly. The roasted locust legs were right in front of them, emitting a fragrant aroma. Yun Zheng's Adam's apple moved subconsciously. He turned his head to look at the meat in He Yao's hand and refused without hesitation, "No, Yaoyao will be done soon. Guide Jiang can eat it yourself."

Jiang Meiqing's eyes also moved to He Yao's hand. She had noticed that He Yao looked dazed. The piece of beast meat had just been put on, and the outer layer of meat was still bright red. She couldn't help but smile, "Miss He is an ordinary person. She must be exhausted after walking for so long. Captain Yun should eat my insect leg first."

  As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed from the corner of her eye that He Yao's fingers tightened, and she immediately perked up.

  Han Jingcheng made He Yao jealous because he was a high-level guide with outstanding abilities. It was normal for He Yao, a "past" guide, to be jealous of him. Although she did not have Han Jingcheng's ability, she was a woman. It was too easy for a beautiful woman to arouse the jealousy of another woman.

  Look, wasn't she just trying to show off her gentleness and thoughtfulness, but He Yao couldn't help but get nervous?

  Jiang Meiqing curled her lips proudly, but her face still looked like she was thinking about Yun Zheng.

  Yun Zheng frowned and secretly winked at Xu Xing beside him. The other party immediately brought a piece of roasted beast meat to help him out. "We have some here. Captain, why didn't you tell me earlier if you were hungry~~"

  "Meiqing, how could the captain want things from you little guides? Don't be polite to him." Xu Xing had a carefree expression and smoothed things over for both parties with just one sentence.

  Before Jiang Meiqing could say anything, Mu Jie came over to pull her away, "What are you doing?!"

  Jiang Meiqing mumbled something and was pulled away by her force. Anyway, she didn't really want to feed Yun Zheng, and her goal was achieved in just a few words.

  Jiang Meiqing's unexpected behavior made Mu Jie, who was beside Jiang Meiqing, not to mention that Yun Zheng was slicing barbecue and coaxing his girlfriend in a gentle manner, not to mention that Mu Jie was not too happy about it.

  Mu Jie was not like Jiang Meiqing, the book-crosser. She had been in the team for a long time and had some interest in Yun Zheng, who was handsome and generous. However, because Yun Zheng had always been protecting his childhood sweetheart and was not polite to her, she did not dare to do anything.

  But Jiang Meiqing and she went in and out together, and their abilities were almost the same. She didn't dare to dig into someone, but Jiang Meiqing did it first, so she couldn't help but feel jealous.

  Jiang Meiqing no longer wanted to coax this idiot. Don't tell her that they have feelings for each other after being together for a long time. Mu Jie is a narrow-minded, stupid and vicious woman. Whether it works or not this time, she will break up with her!

  However, she was also worried that Mu Jie would do something bad, so she found an excuse, saying that she was speaking up for her sister, and deliberately angered He Yao, and at the same time created a rift between the two of them.

  Mu Jie thought about it and it seemed to be the case. Jiang Meiqing did not flirt with Yun Zheng from beginning to end, but instead humiliated He Yao in front of everyone.

  Although he was skeptical, he still shyly bumped into her and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I would have cooperated with you."

  "No, I can handle this kind of offending thing by myself. Don't let Captain Yun have a bad impression of you."

  Mu Jie thought so too. With Jiang Meiqing at the forefront, no matter what she planned, she would jump out and expose her if she did something wrong. No one could take advantage of her. If Jiang Meiqing really did it for her own good, she could just sit back and enjoy the results.

  "Meiqing, I know you are the best to me."

  Jiang Yanlan came back and found that the atmosphere in the team had changed again. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and look at his partner. Han Jingcheng gave him a sullen look. Who did he think he was? Did he come here to cause trouble?

  Mr. Jiang touched his nose. No matter what the little guide thought, he was indeed here to cause trouble.

  Jiang Yanlan took a step forward and sat down next to the fire. While eating barbecue, he whispered to his partner, "We found him. He brought three sentinels and a guide, and he was secretly following the team."

  "Guide?" Han Jingcheng was surprised. "What level? Didn't he find you?"

  Jiang Yanlan didn't say anything, but glanced at her partner lazily with her peach blossom eyes, with an ambiguous meaning.

  Han Jingcheng didn't understand what was going on. Seeing the other person eating the barbecue bite after bite and seemingly having no intention of talking, he couldn't help but want to urge him.

  Unfortunately, before he raised his hand, his expression suddenly changed.

  His thick black eyelashes lifted and then dropped, his eyes full of shock. Because the person was clearly in front of him, but he couldn't feel his breath, his mind couldn't catch him, and even the connection with his partner was unilaterally cut off by him!

  "Who are you..." Han Jingcheng almost couldn't believe his eyes. If his senses and mental abilities could deceive him, then what was visual deception? He even had to question whether the person in front of him was his partner!

  Seeing the handsome young man's face full of tension, as if he was facing a great enemy, Mr. Jiang suddenly smiled. As he curled his lips, Han Jingcheng seemed to have pulled aside an invisible veil, and he could feel the familiar breath again, and the mental connection was restored.

  Everything happened in a flash. The sentinels and guides around him didn't feel anything. Only Han Jingcheng, who was closest to him, was startled and broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

  "Silly boy." Mr. Jiang rolled up his sleeves and wiped the sweat off the man's forehead affectionately.

  Unfortunately, the combat uniform is waterproof, and the tough material scratches the face...

  Han Jingcheng came back to his senses, pushed away the hand that was raging on his face unhappily, hesitated for a moment, and asked sullenly, "You, when did you have this ability?"

  Then, will the spiritual connection that he shamelessly wants to establish still be useful?

  Jiang Yanlan shrugged, "It's been a long time." He explained, "That guide's ability is not as good as yours. Qu Ze is more perceptive, but I found an exotic plant to fool him."

  He didn't go looking for it, he just stood on a branch and looked at it. Who knew it was a strange plant? If Qu Ze went to look for it, he would probably suffer a lot.

  Han Jingcheng lowered his eyes, "Now that it's confirmed, what should we do?"

  I don't know if it was his illusion, but Yan Lan had no awareness of the Tower Organization's first dark sentinel. That was Qu Ze, the dark sentinel who had become famous decades ago! But today, knowing Yan Lan's ability, he relaxed a little.

  "I haven't thought about it yet." Jiang Yanlan pouted, "By the way, you haven't told me what happened before I came back?"

Han Jingcheng thought he was not sure either, so he obediently changed the subject, "Nothing, Jiang Meiqing just wanted to steal He Yao's girl."

  "Oh?" Xiao Jiang always became interested.

  Seeing that he wanted to listen, Han Jingcheng recounted the whole story.

  Mr. Jiang stroked his chin and said, "Oh, interesting."

  Not far from the two of them, a rock-like tortoise was lying in hiding in a stone pile, and not a single real word could be heard from them.

  Yun Zheng raised his eyelids, and a sentry next to Xu Xing shook his head in disappointment. Yun Zheng moved his fingers, and soon someone stood up and walked around... When he looked again, the small "rock" disappeared without a trace.

  Han Jingcheng glanced in that direction and laughed secretly. Did Yun Zheng think that he wouldn't notice it because of the mental barrier they erected?

  In the woods a mile away from here.

  Qu Ze returned to the base in a disheveled state, his hair burnt and frizzy, and his combat uniform torn into rags.

  "Boss?" Guan Wei, the guide in the team, came forward first, his face full of surprise.

  "What happened?" A ruffian-looking sentry also asked. They hadn't seen their boss in such a miserable state for a long time.

  Qu Ze shook his head, "Don't mention it, I ran into a thunderbolt as soon as I got there."

  This tree is quite domineering and aggressive towards living things around it.

  Although he looked miserable, the thunder wisteria was not much better. In order not to attract attention, he took several blows and cut off most of its branches before returning.

  Guan Wei asked, "Was the noise just now caused by that thunder purple vine?"

  Qu Ze frowned, "Maybe. I didn't see anyone else nearby when I walked there."

  Guan Wei and others were relieved. With the boss's speed, it was impossible for anyone to escape from him without even seeing their shadow.

  "I told you that you are overly suspicious, boss." The ruffian sentry joked.

  Qu Ze still frowned, "No matter what, it's better to be careful."

  What he didn't say was that this time when he went out, he always had a bad feeling, as if someone was always watching them.

  After the incident with Lei Ziteng, Qu Ze began to doubt himself and became suspicious.

  "That's right, Boss." Guan Wei agreed, and then said worriedly, "The Hanyue fruit is about to mature. We should find a place to plant it, otherwise it will be too late when it withers..."

  The ruffian sentry interjected, "Boss, why don't we just capture the person? Yun Zheng will help cover it up anyway, so what are you afraid of?"

  Qu Ze glared at him and said, "Don't meddle in other people's business. Follow the plan."

  The plan was Yun Zheng's idea, and He Yao also agreed with it, fearing that Yun Zheng would be implicated. Although Qu Ze was dissatisfied, he did not want to have a conflict with his newly recognized daughter over such a trivial matter.

  It's just a waste of a few more days. He can wait!
