Chapter 272 Replacing Bei Miao
Chapter 272 Replacing Bei Miao
The smoke and dust cleared, and the three men each took a step back. Xizhao's brows were furrowed, and he obviously felt the difficulty of this battle.
However, in this moment of respite, a calculating gleam flashed in Emu's eyes.
He used the fierce battle just now to force Xizhao's attention to be slightly distracted, and in the blink of an eye, Mo Jiu appeared behind Xizhao like a ghost and hugged him tightly with his last bit of strength!
"Mojiu, for our victory, self-destruct!" Emu's voice was cold and ruthless, without the slightest hesitation. In his view, Mojiu's sacrifice was a fait accompli, so it would be better to let him become the final weapon.
"You...!" Xizhao's pupils shrank suddenly, shock and anger intertwined, but it was too late to react. Mo Jiu's eyes widened and he let out a final roar.
Immediately, an unprecedented energy exploded in his body, and the destructive force like doomsday instantly enveloped Xizhao!
Even Xi Zhao was not fully prepared for this sudden self-explosion.
At this critical moment, Emu controlled the black domain and instantly brought the other shadow guards in. Then he escaped into the boundless darkness at an astonishing speed and escaped.
"Humph, I really underestimated his determination. The power of self-destruction is so great!" Xi Zhao covered his chest and coughed violently, his tone full of shock and unwillingness.
In the distance, Bei Miao stood quietly by, witnessing this thrilling scene. His eyes revealed an unspeakable heaviness and loss. Then, he turned around silently, his back gradually faded away, leaving behind silence and thought.
Li Xinnan felt an inexplicable pull in his heart and couldn't help but glance towards the place where Bei Miao had just stood. However, he could capture nothing except emptiness and darkness. The subtle connection seemed to be just a momentary illusion that disappeared in a flash.
......
When everything was properly arranged, everyone happily returned to the Happy Dumpling Restaurant. Aunt Hui was busy in the kitchen, preparing plates of steaming dumplings for everyone.
While waiting for the food to be served, Meizhen raised her glass of orange juice, her eyes sparkling with joy. She looked at Li Xinnan and said sincerely: "Xinnan, I'm so happy for you. The power of summoning has finally returned to your hands again!"
Li Xinnan responded with a smile, but there was still a trace of regret lingering in his heart. He felt a little sorry for not being able to rescue Zhang Jian in time.
However, things are unpredictable, and the sudden blaze was like a violent storm that caught people off guard.
Dong Shan took a sip of his drink and said with a smile, "Xinnan, after returning from the training camp, it seems that your strength has not weakened, but has become even stronger than before!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xinnan just shook his head slightly, with a hint of helplessness and self-mockery in his smile: "I can't even figure out the reason behind this."
"However, this is undoubtedly good news that is worth celebrating together!" Meizhen added, and the atmosphere became even more lively.
"Especially, we can join hands again and face challenges together!" Kunzhong said excitedly, his eyes shining with infinite longing for the team's future.
The tacit understanding and trust of fighting side by side fills everyone's heart with strength.
Xi Zhao also nodded in agreement with deep feeling. He knew very well how lucky it was to have a group of friends whom he could trust.
This scene, which once existed only in his imagination, now surrounds him in an extremely real way, and there are so many people around him, which makes him cherish it even more. This comradeship is as strong as steel, warm and firm.
Kunzhong chuckled and said meaningfully, "The atmosphere is indeed different. After all, there is one annoying person missing."
Then, Dong Shan mentioned the main business: "Xin Nan once said that we will discuss Bei Miao's affairs after we get the Flame Dragon Armor back. Now, it's time to make a break."
An indescribable emotion emerged on Li Xinnan's face. He sighed softly, with a bit of helplessness in his tone: "Do you still insist on your opinion? Do we need to vote again? My personal position is still as firm as before and will not waver."
Kunzhong heard this, his eyes were like torches, and his tone was firm: "No need to say more, I have made up my mind."
Dong Shan took a sip of his drink and said calmly, "This time, I'm on your side."
"After going through this series of twists and turns, I think Bei Miao might be able to learn something from it. I'm willing to give him a chance to prove himself again." Xi Zhao seemed a little hesitant, but he finally spoke.
"I think that temporarily depriving him of his summoning rights may allow him to reflect deeply. If he can truly repent, we can naturally accept him back."
Seeing this, Meizhen gently interrupted, trying to ease the tense atmosphere: "Xinnan, don't be too embarrassed. Why don't we follow this proposal first, which will give Beimiao a buffer period and keep the door open for future possibilities."
Li Xinnan nodded gently. Although he was unwilling, he also understood that the overall situation was more important: "Okay, since everyone agrees, then it's settled. As for the candidate to replace Bei Miao, do you have any good suggestions?"
Meizhen raised her phone with a proud smile on her face. "Speaking of substitute players, my brother has been prepared for a long time. Ever since we mastered the technology to locate the descendants of Light and Shadow Village through scientific means, he has been secretly training your backup personnel."
"I remember that Zhang Jian was recommended by Bei Miao, so my brother didn't intervene at the time." She explained, and then changed the subject.
"But I heard from my brother that there is a guy named Bei Kai in the second team. He is very capable, but his personality is a bit flamboyant."
Kunzhong frowned slightly when he heard this and reminded: "I hope he won't be like Bei Miao, with a bad temper and not listening to orders."
Meizhen shook her head confidently and said reassuringly, "Don't worry about that. My brother said that the members of the second team work well together, and Beikai also knows how to respect the captain and obey his orders."
Xizhao joked, "With a captain like Xinnan here, the captain of the second team may not be able to catch up. Beikai naturally understands this."
"That's good." Kunzhong smiled with relief, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
At this time, Aunt Hui walked into the room carrying a large plate of steaming dumplings and said with a smile: "The dumplings are here, everyone hurry up and eat them while they are hot. This is today's special - leek and shrimp dumplings!"
Xizhao hurried forward to help arrange the dishes. Aunt Hui looked at everyone busy at work with a warm smile on her face.
"Aunt Hui, your cooking skills are getting better and better. These dumplings are really delicious!" Li Xinnan was the first to taste them and praised them highly, which attracted everyone to agree with him. Aunt Hui's face blossomed with a satisfied and happy smile.
After the meal, the atmosphere was still warm and joyful. Meizhen patted her belly contentedly and said with a smile, "It is indeed easy to forget worries when there is delicious food in front of you. However, we must not forget the important things."
As she spoke, she stood up and looked at Li Xinnan tenderly, "Since the decision has been made, I will go and inform my brother and ask him to arrange Beikai's transfer."
Li Xinnan sighed softly, a complex look flashed across his eyes, but he finally gave an affirmative response and nodded.
Dong Shan and others saw this and said, "We won't bother you any more. Let's go back to the base and prepare." Their smiles revealed their trust and support for each other.
Li Xinnan nodded and said goodbye to them one by one, with both anticipation for the upcoming changes in the team and nostalgia for the past.
As the door gently closed, this meal not only filled everyone's stomach, but also seemed to inject new strength and hope for the challenges to come.
