"Zuimo? What's up?"

"You guys chat first..." Shen Zuimo didn't seem ready to bring up the topic immediately, possibly because Xiaofan was present.

"It's okay, go ahead and say it." Fan Lingtian didn't pick up on Shen Zuimo's hesitation; he figured he and Xiaofan would have a good talk later.

Upon hearing this, Shen Zuimo glanced at Xiaofan and said blandly, "Can you return the application I submitted last time?"

"Application? What's up? Changed your mind? I knew it, that place doesn't suit you. I already gave the application to Junjie. Even if you insisted, Junjie never intended to let you join the Assassination Division. But it's good that you've thought it through. Seems Xiaofan's presence had some influence on you."

Saying this, Fan Lingtian cast an amused glance at Xiaofan.

As for Xiaofan, he was utterly bewildered, having no idea what application they were talking about. And what kind of place is this Assassination Division?

"Well, that's it then." With that, Shen Zuimo left the office, unwilling to acknowledge in front of this guy that her reluctance to join the Deadly Squad had anything to do with him.

As soon as Shen Zuimo left, Xiaofan immediately asked.

"What does the Deadly Squad do?"

"Huh? It's a department similar to the Red Butterfly's Hidden Assassination Squad. When it's impossible to openly prevent something from happening, they step in."

Fan Lingtian's words were cryptic, but Xiaofan immediately understood that the Deadly Squad dealt with some clandestine missions. But what was Shen Zuimo going to do in such a place?

Thinking of this, Xiaofan paused, wondering if Zuimo joined the Deadly Squad, would she become just a tool for killing again, like before with Red Butterfly?

"Grandpa Fan..."

"Don't worry, I've held onto her application and haven't reported it. After all, the girl is still so young, and joining the Deadly Squad wouldn't be right."

The Deadly Squad, that's a very serious place. Although the establishment of this department under Yanhuang Soul was necessary, the membership is entirely voluntary.

Those who want to join the Deadly Squad are people who've lost their dreams for the future or those whose dreams have been shattered.

Members of the Deadly Squad endure immense psychological torment every day, similar to the nightmares Shen Zuimo used to experience.

Many can't withstand it and resort to suicide in their thirties, and some have suffered irreversible mental breakdowns, unable to escape the bloody world they're in.

Of course, this is only a part of it, but overall, the Deadly Squad is indeed not a good place to go.

"Alright, what do you need to prepare for the medical department?"

"Hmm, help prepare books on human meridian points, preferably one per person. Everyone should memorize all the points within a week, and then I'll teach them..."

"Memorize all of them? In one week?" Fan Lingtian exclaimed.

"Yes, it's a very intricate field, requiring absolute attention to detail to master it," Xiaofan continued.

"Okay, I'll have Doctor Song from the medical department take charge of this. What about those new students whose numbers were recorded on the mountain earlier, when would you need them?"

"Tomorrow, let them prepare first. Of course, if they're willing they can come, but no one is forced. Tell them following our training will be much tougher than what they face in the Yanhuang Soul Freshman Area. Today I have to take Ren Ling back to the Capital City, we'll talk about it tomorrow," Xiaofan said casually.

"Alright, let's do that. Be careful when you go back to the Capital City; your worth now exceeds 200 million."

"Hmm. Can't be that coincidental," Xiaofan smiled faintly and also left Fan Lingtian's office.

Of course, Xiaofan hadn't forgotten about the Assassination Order. He couldn't hide under Yanhuang Soul's protection forever, but the Assassination Order's threat wasn't so severe that he'd be targeted just by showing up. It's not that extreme.

Leaving Fan Lingtian's office, Xiaofan didn't return to the Freshman Area but instead went directly to Shen Zuimo's dormitory. As usual, he took out his key and opened the door.

'Whoosh.' A cold flash streaked by.

Shen Zuimo pressed a dagger firmly against Xiaofan's throat.

"Spare me, my lady hero..."

This guy, never changes, ready to strike without considering who the visitor is. Just like back at the hotel. Who said she changed? Whether before or after her memory loss, she's always been like this. Xiaofan was sure of it.

"What are you here for? Give me back the key..." Shen Zuimo sheathed the dagger and asked coldly.

"Wanna go shopping?"

"Hm?"

Shopping? How long has it been since Shen Zuimo encountered this word? Or did she ever go shopping?

Honestly, she didn't want to agree to anything Ye Xiaofan proposed, yet whatever this guy suggested always turned out to be compelling.

Leaving aside this time's mission to the border, the last time she left Yanhuang Soul was during the Ye Dahe incident. Having been cooped up here for so long, she truly wanted to go out and see the world.

So, three people ended up in the vehicle leaving Yanhuang Soul.

Capital University had already started classes, and Ren Ling needed to return to attend her courses. Following Xiaofan around all the time wasn't safe; she was the Ren Family's entire hope, and they couldn't have her doing anything too dangerous for too long.

"Xiaofan, you'll miss me."

"Mm."

"I don't believe it. You're with Shen Zuimo all the time; you're bound to forget me."

"I won't."

"When are you coming back?"

"Can't say for sure yet."

"Will you come see me when you return?"

"Yes..."

"Well, I'm off to school then."

"Mhmm. Be good."

After dropping Ren Ling off at Capital University, she returned to her pampered lifestyle. After all, she was a young girl; it's best not to let her get involved with that battlefield more than necessary. Although bringing her to Yanhuang Soul this time had Grandma's approval, Xiaofan couldn't predict what danger lay ahead. It was better to send her back to Grandma's care, considering she was the Ren Family's hope.

"That girl... she's in college?"

Back in the car, Shen Zuimo finally spoke. She couldn't quite fathom that such a young girl was attending college. Not to mention, during fights, she was fiercer than Shen Zuimo herself.

"Alright then, let's go shopping. Anything you'd like to eat?" Xiaofan really didn't know how to explain Ren Ling's situation. Her demeanor always misled others.

"Whatever..."

"Oh, want to check out Sanlitun? I heard the fitting rooms there were all the rage recently."
