Chapter 62: One, and Another

Night Moxi bolted out of the room in a panic, and then placed a call to Feng Yanling.

"He won't die! A sentinel's physical strength is incomparable to that of an ordinary person anyway; how much force could you possibly have used?"

However, who could this beast-transformed person who suddenly appeared in the dormitory be?

Feng Yanling turned around to call Zuo Xi.

"Someone who would appear in the dormitory lately... must be Xing Miao's older brother, Xing Mu! I heard he was going on leave a few days ago."

Naturally, Feng Yanling did not mention that Night Moxi had struck someone, only saying that she heard noises in the dormitory and did not dare to enter.

Xing Mu? Xing Miao's older brother? But why would he go to his sister's dormitory instead of going home on leave?

"A 2A-grade guide wants to form a bond with him, and the two families have basically reached an agreement. However, I heard Xing Mu isn't very willing."

Zuo Xi and Lu Xue were also in a political match, but Zuo Xi had taken a fancy to Lu Xue first, and among all the political marriage candidates Lu Xue's family had found for her, Zuo Xi possessed the highest status and net worth.

Lu Xue quite appreciated Zuo Xi's looks, so they could be considered to be in mutual affection.

However, this stability might be shattered the moment Lu Xue broke through to level five! Zuo Xi had already heard that Lu Xue's family was selecting a second fiancé candidate for her.

In the Moyun Galaxy, guides—especially exceptional auxiliary-type ones—were bound to have more than one partner by their side.

Feng Yanling hung up the communication and rested his chin on his fingers. His current worry was that Night Moxi might have inadvertently left her spiritual energy behind in Xing Mu's spiritual sea.

Xiong Sheng was not yet resolved, and now another Xing Mu? But the encounter between Night Moxi and Xing Mu was not artificially engineered...

When Xing Miao returned to her dormitory, her older brother Xing Mu was climbing up from the floor while supporting his aching head.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"I don't know either... I was originally taking a nap on the sofa, and somehow I ended up sleeping on the floor..."

And his head hurt like hell! It felt as if someone had given him a concussion with a blunt instrument.

"Brother, why is there such a huge bump on your forehead?"

A huge bump? Surely he hadn't bumped into something? But who could have knocked him out for no apparent reason?

"It really looks like a bump made by someone hitting it with a stick or something... Did you see anyone just now?"

Speaking of sticks, Xing Miao could not help but think of Night Moxi, who had been missing for nearly half a month.

"I don't think so? Doesn't your dormitory have access control restrictions?"

"Then where did you go on patrol this time, some uncharted place?" Otherwise, why would a big bump appear on his forehead for no good reason?

Xing Miao decided she had better check the surveillance footage...

And then, she looked at her older brother with a speechless expression.

Xing Mu felt quite embarrassed as well.

"Why don't you send a message to your roommate and ask if she's okay?"

Running and jumping away like that didn't look like she was in any trouble, but...

"Brother, do you know about the affair between Moxi and the Xiong family?"

Xing Mu looked up at her.

"Everyone says Moxi might be a guide, but for some reason she didn't join the Guide Department and went to the Planting Department instead. We all know about her relationship with Feng Yanling..."

"Why are you telling me all this?"

Xing Miao sighed.

"You're an S-grade! If you hadn't lacked the opportunity for a breakthrough, you would have been a 2S-grade long ago! Sentinels above S-grade value guides immensely. If you... I'll try my best to win Moxi's favor for you..."

Last time, Zuo Xi's madness value skyrocketed. Although Lu Xue didn't say anything and Xing Miao didn't press, she knew the one who intervened could only be Night Moxi.

Night... Moxi?

"Brother, Moxi is a level-five in the Planting Department, and her primary husband is Feng Yanling. If you have his contact information, you'd better reach out to him first... Oh right! I haven't asked you yet, what are your own thoughts?"

Xing Mu had seen their group photo in Xing Miao's optical brain account; she was a very pretty girl. But if even Xiong Sheng couldn't catch her eye, what qualifications did he have to rely on?

"Miaomiao, you know I'm currently striving to transfer out of the Fifth Legion. How could I have time to think about these things..."

He was not the most outstanding of their generation, so the family resources he received were limited; romance was simply not in his planning.

He currently had a pathway to transfer to the Third Legion, and this was a critical moment.

Feng Yanling breathed a sigh of relief when he did not receive communication from Xing Mu. Much like when Night Moxi cleared away the black energy clusters for Commander Ye previously—although it would leave some residual energy in Ye Tianjiao's spiritual sea, Madam Fengxi would subsequently complete the soothing treatment, completely clearing away those energy residues.

Including the time she helped Zuo Xi, Night Moxi had cleared the black energy clusters for him after his semi-beast transformation, and then Zuo Xi sought treatment from other S-grade guides.

…………

Night Moxi had originally planned to hide out at Ye Ximo's place, but as soon as she stepped through the door, she found Wang Zi and Qiu Jie confronting each other... or rather, Qiu Jie in a state of semi-beast transformation was more accurate.

What kind of auspicious day was today, anyway? One after another, they were all undergoing semi-beast transformations?

"Hurry and leave! Take him away!"

Qiu Jie's eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his forehead were bulging fiercely.

"I'm not leaving!"

Wang Zi was holding a rope, one end of which was tied around Qiu Jie...

Night Moxi looked at Qiu Jie and then at Wang Zi... It would be unreasonable not to help now that she had bumped into this.

"Do you want to save him?"

Wang Zi nodded frantically.

She wondered if Wang Zi, belonging to the Healing Department, could handle the task of clearing black energy clusters. Having just knocked out a similarly semi-transformed sentinel, Night Moxi hesitated somewhat.

However, seeing Qiu Jie's eyes growing redder and his baring teeth becoming more ferocious—

"Come on! Let's cram at the last minute and treat a dead horse like a living one. I'll count to three, and on three, you make your spiritual power attach to my whip and charge in with me..."

Wang Zi nodded numbly.

"Three..."

Huh?

Wang Zi's mind was blank, yet he still remembered Night Moxi saying to charge on three!

With a loud "boom", his spiritual power dazedly followed Night Moxi's spiritual power straight into Qiu Jie's spiritual sea.

It was another chaotic mess.

Night Moxi's spiritual power manifested as a red lotus, while Wang Zi's spiritual energy entity actually turned out to be a plump little dwarf goat.

"How are we going to save Qiu Jie..."

"I'll show you how, and then we'll try together to eliminate the black energy clusters in his spiritual sea!"

"Okay!"

A sentinel's first semi-mad beast transformation could very well directly cause their spiritual sea to collapse, and even ran the risk of dropping their spiritual power to rock bottom and turning them into ordinary people. Any handling of the situation had to be decisive.

Otherwise, it would be easy to fail to save the person while dragging oneself down as well.

Time was tight and the task was heavy... No! Mainly because Night Moxi had also heard that Qiu Jie in this condition would usually be locked in confinement and injected with inhibitors. If he could recover, great; if he couldn't... well, that was just fate.

Night Moxi brought down two quick whacks with her club, leaving Wang Zi dumbfounded.

Was it... was it really this simple... and brutal?

"Come on, give it a try. A stick, a whip, or even a fly swatter—try whichever one feels most natural to you... Try it now. If this works, you'll be able to clear the black energy clusters in his spiritual sea from now on, and you won't have to be afraid of a repeat of today's incident..."

Clear the black energy clusters for Qiu Jie? Yes! If he learned how to clear the black energy clusters, then Qiu Jie wouldn't need to take inhibitors!
