Ji Jue waved his hand carelessly, paused, and told him: "If there's anything... inconvenient little task that needs doing, take this to the Returning Home Knight Order, they'll definitely do a great job for you.

"Of course, you'll definitely have to pay the money!"

Turning the badge over, Tong Shan felt the back side and immediately detected the hidden Spiritual Circuit inside, as if it were some kind of authentication credential.

Since Ji Jue was able to produce it, it must not be an ordinary membership card.

If he says he'll do a great job for you, he definitely will.

But isn't this approach a bit too wild?

"Perfect."

Tong Shan laughed, tucked it into his chest: "Thanks a lot."

"Alright then, off you go."

Ji Jue waved his hand for the last time, "Good luck in Central Earth, Director Tong!"

"That doesn't sound like a good term."

Tong Shan sighed lightly, turned back, finally looked at the smiling faces at the street corner, remained silent for a long time, then finally smiled, waving his hand:

"Everyone, goodbye."

And so, with Tong Hua, he waited for the distant bus.

Disappearing from sight.

"They've gone." Lao Zhang sighed.

"They've gone." Ji Jue sighed softly.

"They've gone." Xiao An repeated, somewhat understanding, instinctively.

Wen Wen leaned on her motorcycle, smoking, after a long time, she sighed sincerely: "That's really good."

"Hmm? Is it a promotion and raise?" Ji Jue laughed: "The plants are gone, Sister Wen, are you planning to advance now? I support you, I'll definitely vote for you!"

"...And then on the first day of taking office, kill Xu Chaoxian?"

Wen Wen thought for a moment, amused by herself, waved her hand, and said nothing more: "I'll be off now."

"See you."

She put on her helmet and started her motorcycle.

Amid the roar, the motorcycle merged into the traffic, swiftly weaving, heading forward.

In the wind rushing at her face, Wen Wen began to feel absent-minded.

As the motorcycle drove over the overpass, she looked back at the sparkling sea in the distance.

She came to her senses and realized she had become used to this kind of scenery,

Initially thinking of changing environment, going somewhere no one knew her, to reform and restart. Yet after so many years, it was still the same...

Hard to change one's nature.

Suddenly she felt like having a drink.

Just then, the sound of a phone rang suddenly, she answered it.

Lv Yingyue's voice came through.

"Hello?"

"I'm here." Wen Wen said, "You should have seen the email from a few days ago, right?"

"I was planning to call you this afternoon, but considering you might not have slept yet, wasn't disturbing you, was I?" The voice on the other end laughed, "Sorry, just saw it now."

Wen Wen instinctively twisted the throttle, speeding up: "What's your decision?"

"What decision?" Lv Yingyue acted as if she didn't understand.

"My email, resignation letter." Wen Wen said: "Even if it's just going through the procedure, isn't this too slow?"

"Calling you is to talk about this."

Lv Yingyue paused, sighing: "Sorry, I can't approve it, there are many reasons, you can find as many as you like."

Wen Wen frowned: "This is not what we agreed upon!"

"Indeed, we agreed initially, using Cliff City as a base, giving you the greatest range of freedom in action, free to come and go." Lv Yingyue sighed: "But the key is, are you really free, little Wen?"

"Guardian Lv, can we not play word games?" Wen Wen was irritable: "How am I not free? I'm free as hell and leaving my job will make me even freer, okay?"

"Then what? Diving straight back onto your old path?" Lv Yingyue retorted: "You wrote so many reasons for your resignation, but why didn't you write the most important one?"

"..." Wen Wen was silent.

"Because of Wen Zheng, right?"

Lv Yingyue said: "I heard the news about that fellow, and then anger flared in your heart, you were impatient to draw your sword, to face him decisively, to win cleanly, die happily?

But will that guy really do as you wish? As someone called the guiding Holy Fool, isn't his specialty subtly guiding and controlling?

Without the Heavenly Governor's Law binding you, how will you suppress the nature you loathe and resist? Or will you set foot on the 'righteous path' he's designated for you?"

When Wen Wen instinctively twisted her wrist, she found the throttle was already at its limit.

She retorted: "Can't it just be that I'm fed up with that dog Xu Chaoxian, want to crush his dog head and quit?"

"Unfortunately, it can't." Lv Yingyue shook her head: "If it were you, while saying this to me, Xu Chaoxian's head would have already been crushed."

Wen Wen had nothing more to say.

"So, just take it as me breaking the agreement... Little Wen, I can't let you set foot on the wrong path, repeat your mistakes. Shedding burdens and shackles is certainly beautiful, but where exactly are you heading? Are the things you're abandoning really of no value?

Can you really move forward with no worries and never look back?"

Wen Wen was silent.

The phone line disconnected at some point.

The motorcycle roared, weaving through peak-hour roads, continually passing by trucks, speeding up more and more, but finding no direction, instinctively moving forward, numb and continual.

Until the gas tank ran dry, the overheated metal moaned, and the motorcycle stopped at the roadside.

Looking up at the front, she realized she had somehow unknowingly driven back to the Northern Mountain District branch office. The street outside the mall was bustling with people.

Wen Wen took off her helmet, looked up, stared at the sunlight reflected off the glass curtain wall of the office building.

After a long time, she sighed silently.

Cursed.

Amid the crowd, a girl in a white dress quietly looked at her, then after a long while, turned and left.
