Xu Junrou looked at the empty field, her face filled with shock and confusion.

It had to be known that Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo were standing dozens of meters away from the nearest bunker. She had only spent less than two seconds looking at Yi Han just now. How did the two of them disappear in such a short period of time?

“Something must have happened!”

Xu Junrou’s expression changed and she wanted to call Yi Han to chase after them. However, when she turned around, she realized that Yi Han was looking at her awkwardly.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Xu Junrou asked subconsciously. As soon as she said this, she realized that something was wrong. Although Yi Han was looking in her direction, his focus was not on her, but behind her.

Could it be…

A bold thought surged into her mind. Xu Junrou slowly turned around stiffly and saw Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo standing side by side, staring at her with a smile.

Xu Junrou was speechless for a moment. After a few seconds, she smiled awkwardly and said, ‘What a coincidence… I thought you guys went to look for

Commander Chen

“Weren’t you guys also supposed to be heading to the secret realm?”

Wang Xiao asked in return. Then, the smile on his face disappeared. “Xu Junrou, I’ll give you one last chance. Who exactly are you? Why are you monitoring me?”

“I’m not… I’m not monitoring you! We’re discussing the plan to explore the secret realm here!”

Xu Junrou hurriedly explained. As if afraid that Wang Xiao would not believe her, she pulled Yi Han over again. “Yi Han! Isn’t that right?”

Yi Han opened his mouth and looked at Xu Junrou, then at the expressionless Wang Xiao. In the end, he sighed helplessly. “Xiao Rou, why don’t you tell the truth?”

“Yi Han!”

Xu Junrou frowned and raised her hand to punch Yi Han.

However, Yi Han seemed to have long been used to it. He casually rubbed it twice and looked at Wang Xiao. “Idol, I don’t want to lie to you. Actually, Commander Chen asked us to protect you.”

“Yi Han! Do you know what you’re saying?!”

Xu Junrou’s almond-shaped eyes widened. She looked really angry.

Yi Han was immediately frightened and shrank his neck. He lowered his head and muttered softly, “This isn’t a bad thing. Why do we have to make it so complicated…’

Xu Junrou glared at Yi Han, not knowing what to say.

Of course, she knew that this was not a bad thing. However, since Chen Jinrong had asked them to keep it a secret, it meant that there was definitely a need to keep it a secret. She had put in so much effort to put up an act until now, but in the end, it was all ruined by Yi Han!

On the other side, seeing Xu Junrou so angry, Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo both had puzzled expressions.

Before this, they had tried to guess Xu Junrou’s goal. They wondered if it was climbing up the social ladder or taking advantage of others. They had even guessed that the other party was a spy sent by the foreign planet, but they had never thought that she was a bodyguard sent by Chen Jinrong.

After half a minute, Wang Xiao returned to his senses and probed with a strange expression, “You were sent by Commander Chen to protect me?”

Yi Han lowered his head and did not dare to speak. Xu Junrou punched him again before nodding helplessly.

Wang Xiao’s expression became even stranger. He pointed at Yi Han and said in confusion, “But I was hired by Commander Chen to protect Yi Han! What’s going on now? Who’s protecting who?”

“We’re here to protect you.”

Xu Junrou sighed and said helplessly, “Commander Chen asked you to protect Yi Han as a cover. It’s for you to take the initiative to look for us. This way, when we often appear beside you, we won’t arouse your suspicion.”

“I see…”

Wang Xiao understood the logic, but he still had a puzzled expression. “But why are you protecting me? Is it because of the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon]?”

“We really don’t know about that.”

Xu Junrou said sincerely, “To be precise, our mission is to follow you as much as possible and report to Commander Chen in time if you discover any abnormalities.”

Wang Xiao’s eyebrows jumped. “Your mission is to monitor me?”

“… You can put it that way.”

Xu Junrou nodded awkwardly. As soon as she spoke, she hurriedly explained,

“But this surveillance is done with good intention. Don’t misunderstand!”

Wang Xiao took a deep breath and did not say anything, but his expression was gradually turning ugly.

He believed that Chen Jinrong had no ill intentions towards him, but he did not like this method!

As Wang Xiao fell silent, the atmosphere became heavy. Xu Junrou opened her mouth a few times but did not say anything. Yi Han did not even have the courage to open his mouth.

After two to three minutes, Wang Xiao finally broke the silence. “I’m going to settle some private matters. Go do what you need to do. Don’t follow me.”

Xu Junrou was about to say something when Wang Xiao’s eyes suddenly turned cold. “If I find out that you’re following me, I’ll definitely make you regret it!”

With that said, Wang Xiao turned around and left. Xu Junrou and Yi Han looked at each other and actually did not dare to follow.

Although Wang Xiao did not say what would happen if they followed, the more this was the case, the more threatening it was. After all, no one knew what Wang Xiao would do.

“Student Xu, Student Yi.”

Zhou Xiruo smiled at the two of them and pointed at Wang Xiao. “Don’t mind him. His personality is like this. I’ll persuade him later. It’ll be fine.”

“Thank you.”

Xu Junrou forced a smile. Zhou Xiruo waved her hand to indicate that the two of them did not have to worry. Then, she jogged after Wang Xiao.

Seeing the two of them gradually walk away, Yi Han’s desire to live finally arrived. He tugged at Xu Junrou’s sleeve and asked softly, “Xiao Rou, did I say something wrong just now?”

“Shut up. I don’t want to hear your voice now.”

Xu Junrou pushed Yi Han away. Then, she took out her communication device and dialed a number. “Commander Chen, we’ve been exposed..

Outside Yuheng Academy, on the street.

Wang Xiao walked hurriedly with an expressionless face. Passersby recognized him and greeted him, but he did not react at all, as if he did not hear them at all.

Zhou Xiruo quickly followed behind. When she saw Wang Xiao in this state, her eyes could not help but reveal some worry.

“Wang Xiao! Wait a moment!”

Zhou Xiruo shouted and quickened her pace to catch up to Wang Xiao. “I know you don’t like the feeling of others keeping you in the dark, but I don’t think either Commander Chen or Xu Junrou have any ill intentions. You don’t have to be so angry, right?”

“Angry?”

Wang Xiao stopped in his tracks and looked at Zhou Xiruo with a scrutinizing gaze. “Back then, you took the initiative to ask to be my vassal. Could it be

Commander Chen’s idea?”

Zhou Xiruo was stunned. “Why would you think that? When I was your vassal lord, you didn’t even know Commander Chen!”

“But he already knew about me.”

Wang Xiao said expressionlessly, “Teacher Chen introduced me to him, and he sent you over—it is very reasonable for me to think that.”

Zhou Xiruo was speechless for a moment. Then, a sullen expression gradually appeared on her face. “Wang Xiao! You bastard! I’ve been with you for so long. Do you not believe me?!”

Wang Xiao did not speak. He only looked at Zhou Xiruo expressionlessly, his eyes flickering as he pondered about something..
