After chatting for a while, the two of them returned to find Yi Han and Zhou Xiruo.

“We’re going to explore the secret realm later. Are you interested in joining us?”

Yi Han took the initiative to invite them. “Although it’s only a small secret realm, I heard that there are a lot of resources inside. You just advanced to level three lords. You need a lot of resources to build a city-state, right?”

Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo looked at each other with subtle expressions. This was because it was not a matter of whether they lacked resources, but that they did not need to build a city-state for the time being.

A territory of 1,400 kilometers, 14 city-states, and 80,000 people. Even among level four lords, this scale was quite explosive.

After a moment of silence, Wang Xiao looked at Xu Junrou and asked, “Are there any high-level mutated beasts in that secret realm?”

At first, it sounded like Wang Xiao was interested in high-level mutated beasts, but Xu Junrou knew that he was actually asking about the danger level. She then shook her head and replied, “I don’t think so.”

“That secret realm is a mountain environment. There are very few creatures inside. Only the [Flying Blade Mantis] that appears in groups is relatively troublesome, but we can handle it.”

Wang Xiao nodded. “Then I pass for now. Coincidentally, I still have something to discuss with Commander Chen.”

“Commander Chen?”

Yi Han and Zhou Xiruo were stunned when they heard this. Only Xu Junrou knew what Wang Xiao was talking about. “You still want to ask about the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon]?”

Wang Xiao nodded.

Zhou Xiruo immediately looked puzzled. “Isn’t the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] your new mutated beast? Did something happen to it when you went to look for Commander Chen?”

“There’s no problem with the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon], but I want to figure out its origins.”

As Wang Xiao spoke, he took out the information he had found earlier and roughly explained that the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] might have come from the Purple Star.

Xu Junrou had long known, so she did not react. However, after Yi Han heard this, he immediately revealed a serious expression.

“You really have to get a clear explanation for this.”

Yi Han put away his usual laughter and said with a serious expression, “I heard that the Purple Star race is born fierce and belligerent. Moreover, the only thing they respect is strength.”

“Even after the soldier has been successfully contracted, if the strength of the lord is not recognized by the soldier, the soldier will still resist and even kill the lord!”

“There’s such a thing?!” Zhou Xiruo exclaimed, “But if the lord is killed, won’t that soldier also die?”

“Yeah, but it doesn’t care.”

Yi Han said softly with a complicated expression, “Fierceness and war-likeness are engraved in the bones of the Purple Star race. Even if it means dying together, they will definitely not submit to someone weaker than them—so you have to ask clearly about this!”

The last sentence was directed at Wang Xiao. After all, if the [Dark Swamp

Crocodile Dragon] really came from the Purple Star, it would be equivalent to him having a time bomb next to him!

“I’ll get to the bottom of it.”

Wang Xiao nodded solemnly and paused for a moment before changing to a relaxed tone. “Then let’s split up today. After I figure things out, we’ll explore the secret realm together!”

“Good!”

Yi Han agreed and left with Xu Junrou.

Zhou Xiruo took a deep breath and composed herself. “Wang Xiao, let’s quickly go find Commander Chen.”

“There’s no hurry.”

Wang Xiao looked at Yi Han and Xu Junrou who had walked away and said softly. Then, he took out his communicator and began to search. “I lied to them just now.”

Zhou Xiruo was stunned. “You’re not going to find Commander Chen? Then what about the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon]? Don’t you want to ask clearly?”

“We still have to ask, but we can’t ask Commander Chen.”

Wang Xiao pondered for a moment before replying in a low voice, “It’s been so long since I obtained the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon], but Commander Chen has never mentioned that it might be from the Purple Star. There are only two possibilities for this situation—I‘

A thought flashed through Zhou Xiruo’s mind. “Is it because Commander Chen doesn’t know that the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] might be from the Purple Star?”

‘Or he does, but he doesn’t want to tell me.’

Wang Xiao nodded and continued after a pause, “But no matter what, I can’t get an answer from Commander Chen, so we have to find another way…”

At this point, Wang Xiao finally found the number he was looking for. After dialing, he smiled and said, “Is this Adjutant Qi? I’m Wang Xiao. May I know which hospital you’re in? I want to visit you.”

In a corner of the field of Yuheng Academy.

Yi Han and Xu Junrou hid behind a big tree. From here, they could see Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo in the distance.

“Xiao Rou, why don’t I understand?”

Yi Han blinked and asked in confusion, “Weren’t we going to the secret realm? Why are we hiding here?”

“Are you stupid?”

Xu Junrou patted Yi Han and whispered as if she expected better from someone, “Have you forgotten the mission Commander Chen gave us? If the two of us enter the secret realm, who will protect Wang Xiao?”

“So we’re not going anymore?”

Yi Han finally regained his senses, but his face was still filled with confusion. “Then why don’t we accompany him directly to the military building? Only by following him can we protect him better!”

“That’s not ‘protection.’ That’s ‘exposure.’ ”

Xu Junrou rolled her eyes and roughly explained to Yi Han the private conversation she had with Wang Xiao just now.

After a pause, Xu Junrou continued, “At that time, I felt that I had managed to muddle through, but later on, I realized that something was wrong. I felt that Wang Xiao had most likely discovered something, but he deliberately pretended to be stupid to make me lower my guard.”

Yi Han pondered for a moment before shaking his head very honestly. “I don’t understand. How do you Imow that he’s pretending to be stupid?”

“Because he’s not stupid.”

Xu Junrou secretly stared at Wang Xiao’s back and said softly, “The best way for him to figure out my identity is to listen to me and extract useful information from what I say.”

“However, every time he asks a question, he will find an explanation for me. This way, the information he ends up obtaining always comes from himself. It can almost be said to be worthless.”

Yi Han nodded as if he understood. “But what does this have to do with him pretending to be stupid?”

“Like I said, it’s to make me lower my guard.”

Xu Junrou replied softly with a hint of fear in her eyes. “If he asked me the same question as usual, I would definitely think about how to deal with it.

Therefore, he’s using a trick—answering the question for me.”

“Just as I am thinking about how to deal with it, he suddenly answers for me. This way, I would subconsciously respond according to his words.

“However, if I give too much ‘acknowledgement’ , even if I don’t reveal any information, he can still be sure that I’m hiding something. After all, he doesn’t know my situation. How can he be right about everything?”

“I see!”

Yi Han clapped his hands in realization and finally completely understood.

Immediately after, a bitter expression appeared on Yi Han’s face. “Why don’t we postpone this mission? To think that you two will have to chat like this every time you meet… Just thinking about it makes me feel so tired!”

“You! You’re just too innocent!”

Xu Junrou looked at Yi Han helplessly. When she turned around, her expression suddenly changed.. Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo had actually disappeared!
