Chapter 35: Yasuo, Yasuo
Then, she saw it return to Yasuo’s side with lazy steps. Its two front legs pushed off forcefully, landing perfectly back on the man’s shoulder.
Yasuo looked playfully at Su Tang, who was shrinking behind Mo Xiao. His fingertips gently rubbed the spiritual entity’s ears, as if praising it.
“Since we came back together, why don’t we go to those old geezers at the White Tower to write the activity report together? Just so I can hear what wonderful things Mo Xiao harvested on this trip.”
This sounded as if he already knew everything but hadn’t exposed it to their faces yet.
Mo Xiao lowered his eyes.
“You go first; I still have some matters to deal with.”
He turned sideways to protect Su Tang, intending to lead the team away, but that black cat stopped in front of Su Tang again.
“Guide Su Tang.”
The little fellow stood squarely in the direction Su Tang was heading, clearly intending to stop her from leaving.
Su Tang paused, having no choice but to turn back and look directly at Yasuo.
Yasuo’s cat eyes circled her face. She was a cute little thing, pity her eyes weren’t great—why did she choose that smelly, hard rock?
Maliciously hooking the corner of his lips, he flashed a big smile at Su Tang.
“Captain Mo Xiao has always been unromantic. It must be hard for you to partner with him.”
If it was just a guess earlier, then with this sentence, it was basically confirmed.
Yasuo definitely knew. He knew she had marked Mo Xiao.
“Thanks for the concern.”
Su Tang nodded politely to him and said no more.
Mo Xiao’s hand pressed on her back, patting gently, carrying a soothing meaning.
“Let’s go.”
When the two teams passed each other, Su Tang clearly felt the gazes of the Fifth Squad members circulating between her and Mo Xiao. Especially that black cat squatting on the ground; its cat pupils stared straight at her, staring until one felt hair standing on end for no reason.
“Captain, that Guide…”
A member of the Fifth Squad couldn’t help but speak up.
Yasuo raised a hand to cut him off. Feline Sentinels always had keen senses of smell. He knew his team members likely sensed something was wrong too, but dared not be sure.
“Whatever happened today rots in your stomachs. I don’t wish to hear any news regarding today’s matters anywhere.”
Yasuo picked up the black cat nestling on the ground, gently brushing off the dust stuck to its black fur. The black cat rubbed against his embrace, emitting a low purring sound.
“Remember, I said any news.”
“Yes.”
Interesting…
Yasuo narrowed his eyes, staring at the retreating figures of Mo Xiao and Su Tang.
The black cat had the keenest sense of smell. The black cat told him that Mo Xiao had a heavy scent of Guide spiritual power on him, and the source of that scent came from that Guide, Su Tang.
Truly interesting. Mo Xiao, that guy, was actually marked by a Guide.
And it was a low-level Guide with such a vast disparity in spiritual power compared to him.
How did she do it?
Yasuo’s fingertips rubbed against the black cat’s neck bit by bit. He had been away for indeed a bit too long. Inside the White Tower, so many interesting things he didn’t know about had happened. It seemed coming back this time would provide some fun.
On the other side, Su Tang followed Mo Xiao toward the dormitory, the uneasiness in her heart growing heavier.
Her mind kept replaying the sentence Yasuo said before leaving, as well as the black cat’s solemn scrutiny.
“Captain Mo, did he figure it out?”
Mo Xiao turned his head to look at her. Seeing her brows locked tight, looking exceptionally worried, he stopped walking, extended his right hand, and gently rubbed away the girl’s furrowed brows.
“Yasuo’s spiritual sense of smell is keen. It hasn’t been long since you gave me the complete mark, so the scent of your spiritual power on me is still very strong. It’s inevitable that he detected it.”
“Then will he…”
“He won’t.”
Mo Xiao’s tone was very certain.
“If he wanted to expose it, he would have said it right there on the tarmac. That man always does things as he pleases. Since he didn’t expose it then, it proves he won’t speak of this matter. Although I don’t know why, for now, it is safe.”
“I understand.”
The little Guide’s tone was still very depressed. Mo Xiao pursed his lips.
“Don’t worry. Although that man’s personality is a bit eccentric, he also dislikes the rules and regulations within the White Tower. What he said on the tarmac just now was mostly teasing.”
“Teasing?”
Su Tang asked in doubt, only to see Mo Xiao nodding seriously at her.
“You’ll know later. That man is actually far more reliable than Shen Ji.”
Speaking of Shen Ji, he had to make a trip to the Third Squad to ask Zhan Ye and see if he had settled Shen Ji’s matter during his absence.
“I have some matters to deal with. Go back to the dormitory and rest well first. If people from the Medical Department ask you to go for a routine checkup, it’s fine to go directly. Anse, that guy, will arrange everything there.”
He had already contacted Anse on the plane back to the White Tower. That guy agreed quite readily this time.
Mo Xiao took a deep look at Su Tang. He knew Anse’s interest lay more in Su Tang. For Sentinels like them who lived in darkness for long periods, a Guide like Su Tang held immense temptation.
“Okay.”
Having been outside for so long, she also missed her soft big bed a bit. Plus, everything was simple outside; she hadn’t had a proper shower for two days. After going back, she definitely had to relax properly.
Walking briskly back to the dormitory, she pushed open the door. A figure quickly dashed toward her. Su Tang hugged the thing into her arms before realizing it was the Golden Eagle.
Perhaps because it hadn’t seen her for a long time, the little fellow was exceptionally clingy this time, its small wings flapping constantly in her embrace, declaring its joy.
Only then did Su Tang remember that before leaving, she had allowed Zhan Ye to move into her bedroom. Since the Golden Eagle was here, did that mean Zhan Ye was also…
“Alright, alright, be good. Is your master here too?”
Su Tang sat on the sofa in the living room hugging the Golden Eagle, looking around. The facilities here were no different from before she left. The curtains were open, and gentle sunlight filtered through.
Su Tang’s mood relaxed bit by bit. Actually, after she agreed to Zhan Ye’s request, she had regretted it in her heart. After all, letting a tall Sentinel live in her room—she really worried that guy would act recklessly in her room.
Looking at it now, Zhan Ye actually followed the rules quite well. It was just…
Her nose twitched lightly. A heavy scent of perfume surrounded the environment. Su Tang rubbed her brow slightly. Did Zhan Ye break a perfume bottle?
Why was the smell so pungent?
