"Hmm, you guessed it right. Keep it a secret, okay? Things are too hectic now, let's chat more in detail some other day. Let me first check on that rascal, yesterday he ended up needing someone to carry him back."

With that, Fan Lingtian picked up his jacket and walked out the door.

It turns out that Fan Lingtian personally went to the medical department last night to take a look, and he happened to see Xiaofan focused on saving someone. That familiar figure reminded him of Ye Aotian back in the day, who saved people with just a few needles.

It seems now that he really has inherited Ye Aotian's skills.

Ye Aotian's medical skills, Ren Zhongtian's formidable combat power, and even better on-the-spot command abilities than myself. This kid, he's clearly meant for the Yanhuang Soul.

Meanwhile, in Xiaofan and the others' dormitory.

"Wow, Xiaofan, what's up with you? Every time you overexert yourself and wake up, you're always this hungry?"

Last night's hotpot was, of course, thrown out, but plenty of ingredients were left out, so everyone started bustling again.

The three dorms were connected, so if there was something to eat, the neighboring dorm would be the first to notice. Indeed, these guys even skipped breakfast, gathering together to drink some liquor and eat hotpot.

And Xiaofan's appetite was gigantic. It's hard to know what he's made of; last night he was as tired as a dog, but after a night's sleep, he's eating like someone who starved to death. Looking at the speed and spirit with which he grabs meat with chopsticks, it's obvious he's already recovered seventy to eighty percent of his power.

"I'm telling you, this beef is best at medium-rare; if it's too cooked, it becomes a mess."

"Hah... you're just impatient to eat."

'Knock knock knock knock,' just then, a knocking sound came from the door.

Ren Ling went to open the door, and upon seeing who it was, was taken aback: "What are you doing here?"

"Yo, a rare guest indeed," Xiaofan was also slightly surprised.

"Give me my..." Shen Zuimo originally came to Xiaofan to get the key to her room; for some reason, she forgot to take it when she went out for training today.

Shen Zuimo had to make it clear that she forgot, not that she deliberately left the key behind to check on the guy who passed out last night.

"Come, sit over here, have some soup, warm yourself up." Xiaofan didn't even wait for Shen Zuimo to speak and simply kicked Li San to the side and placed disposable bowls and chopsticks beside her.

Shen Zuimo didn't expect that they could be so unbridled in the Yanhuang Soul, not just cooking on their own but drinking too. And seeing them so happy, it felt rather heartwarming.

"I'm not eating, just give me the key." Shen Zuimo said coldly.

"Stay a while, we all fought together, after all. At least have a drink." As Xiaofan spoke, he poured a cup of alcohol and handed it to Shen Zuimo, motioning everyone to raise their glass with his eyes.

Shen Zuimo easily saw through his little acts, but she readily took the glass and downed it in one go.

"The key..."

"Really not eating? It's quite delicious. Although there's no seafood you like, the beef is pretty good."

"No appetite..." Shen Zuimo seemed to hesitate for a moment. It seems she's not used to making friends, like now, sitting with a big group to drink and chat, she's never done that. She's used to being alone, you could even say she can only be alone.

Xiaofan sighed; no one knows Shen Zuimo better than he does. He understands Shen Zuimo more than Shen Junjie; he knows she doesn't actually reject the people in front of her, but getting her to sit down is a challenging task, at least for now, they cannot reopen her heart.

"Yo, having hotpot, huh? Hey kid, let me have a taste."

Just as Xiaofan was about to hand over the key, a cheerful voice suddenly came from the door.

Fan Lingtian had arrived, and upon seeing the hotpot, he didn't even bother with greetings and sat down directly.

"Hey, Zuimo, why are you standing there? Sit down. Since you're here, I don't need to specifically notify you. You know, Xiaofan, you alright after last night?" Fan Lingtian had no airs at all as he grabbed his chopsticks and helped himself to some food.

Ren Ling cleverly moved aside, giving Shen Zuimo a seat right next to him, and with Fan Lingtian providing a reason, it seemed quite natural for her to sit down.

"I'm fine, just a bit overexerted. It's nothing serious. But, what was it that caused so many to get injured?" Xiaofan asked with a frowned expression.

"A cross-border criminal gang. At the border area smuggling goods, including protected animal skins, ivory, secretly smuggling gold, artifacts, and even heroin. These are beyond monetary value."

"And then?" Hearing Fan Lingtian's words, Xiaofan knew there was more.

"The message from the border was that during the exchange of goods, the border soldiers intercepted them, and both sides engaged in a firefight. When we got the news, it was already chaotic. So I sent teams to stop them within our borders, not letting them pass. But those guys seemed desperate too, teaming up with mercenaries from beyond the border to counterattack, which caught us off guard, causing massive injuries. Then I deployed the medical staff to accompany them, but even they got injured and had to be sent back. Detailed documents..."

"Wait, detailed documents? For what?" Xiaofan caught onto something odd.

"Oh, it's like this, Junjie and the others are unavailable, so I hope you can take the team over. Honestly, if there were any other way, I wouldn't come to trouble you guys." Fan Lingtian spoke sincerely and persuasively.

"Come on, it's not like I don't know how many elites Yanhuang Soul has. Like Xiaolei's old team and many A-level warriors..."

"So, are you going or not? If you go, you could solve it without any casualties."

Upon hearing this, Xiaofan's chopsticks suddenly paused. The blood-soaked scene from last night reappeared in his mind. He finally understood why Fan Lingtian came to find him. The truth is, he was planning to ask if they needed help after filling up.

"I'll go. When do we set off? When will I get the detailed documents?" Xiaofan put the meat in his mouth, having no reason to refuse. If he could handle it, then there was no need for more unnecessary casualties.
