Chapter 2819 - 1335: Little Question Mark, Big Exclamation Mark_2

Yu Chen blinked and said with genuine admiration: "That’s really amazing."

Motan exaggeratedly shouted ’Ohhhhh.’

"What are you doing?"

Double Leaf first pinched Yu Chen’s cheek, then glanced at the ’comrade’ in front of them, chuckling: "You’re doing quite well now, aren’t you? Putting aside being the son-in-law of the Church of the Dawn, just based on that analysis earlier, there must be a bunch of big shots wanting to ’get to know’ you now. There were a few old guys beside me getting red-eyed watching the game; if you didn’t know better, you’d think they wanted to gobble you up."

Motan shook his head and shrugged: "Don’t exaggerate. That analysis was just armchair strategy; there are plenty who can discuss it on paper, but a real battlefield is an entirely different matter."

"Don’t give me that. Even if you can explain it, I can’t understand it."

Double Leaf waved their hand impatiently: "If I’m not mistaken, your first time commanding was right in front of me, right? At that time... sigh..."

She furrowed her brow and didn’t continue.

Motan naturally understood why Double Leaf suddenly fell silent, and Yu Chen, who had heard about what happened to the Fenrir Team, pursed his lips, his gaze somewhat dim.

"Do you want to go back to the Violet side together sometime to see the Captain and them?"

After a moment, Motan suddenly asked this and then turned to Yu Chen and said, "You can come along if you want."

But Double Leaf suddenly interrupted him, shaking their head: "No need, the Captain and them are no longer there."

In the next five minutes, Double Leaf summed up the suspected purification of the Fenrir Team members’ bodies by the Sun Sect’s priests, grinding her teeth furiously and angrily saying: "I did the preservation treatment, and yet they purified them. Purified, purified my ass! Were the Captain and them going to become zombies or something? Did the priests of the Sun Sect always have to stick their nose in our business?!"

[I don’t know about the priests of the Sun Sect, but the Captain and they did indeed ’turn into zombies’...]

Apart from the resurrection itself, Motan, who handled almost the entire process, sighed softly with a slightly complex expression.

"By the way..."

Perhaps misunderstanding Motan’s sigh, Double Leaf kicked a small pebble towards his feet and asked: "How do you compare now to back then? I’m not talking about fighting ability, but directing others."

Motan blinked, then hesitantly replied: "Probably stronger now, I guess."

"Right, if you’d made no progress, you’d be pretty useless."

Double Leaf nodded slightly and then asked: "Even if you’re stronger now, you probably still couldn’t have beaten Ban Nai Clow with us back then, right?"

Motan gave a bitter smile and shook his head: "In the face of absolute strength, all tactics are nonsense."

"I’ve thought of many ways, made many assumptions..."

Double Leaf summoned a hand of Wind Element to gently play with Yu Chen’s hair, speaking leisurely: "Luckily, no matter how I imagined it, I couldn’t find a way to defeat Ban Nai Clow at that stage."

"Is that really a good thing?"

Motan frowned slightly.

"Of course it’s a relief, you idiot."

Double Leaf retorted to Motan, grumpily saying: "To put it bluntly, Captain Ned was doomed to die, and Clow, Saracha, and Yina’s stubbornness ensured they’d die with him. Whether you or I, at that stage, we were too weak - you admit that, right?"

Motan nodded silently.

"Based on my investigation, the Marshalls’ counter-reconnaissance never stopped, and they had more than just that Black orc running covert operations in the Fire Claw Territory. Even if we weren’t wiped out that day, it was only a matter of time before the Captain was caught."

Double Leaf took a deep breath, speaking in an almost icy tone: "In my calculations, the previous result was already the best ending. Although we didn’t avoid inevitable sacrifices, we at least fulfilled the Captain’s wishes and the three’s legacy."

Motan scratched his forehead, looking at Double Leaf with some confusion: "What are you trying to convey?"

"What I’m saying is, since no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t prevent it, there’s no need to carry their deaths as baggage. Because even without me, they’d still die."

Double Leaf seriously stared at Motan, her rare solemnity evident: "So I don’t need to take responsibility for their deaths because even now, I might not have been able to stop that bastard if I went back six months ago. At most, I could have gone two-to-eight, and I’d take the two."

[This guy...]

Motan’s gaze sharpened, sighing silently inside, raising an eyebrow: "Yeah, I get you’re going two."

"Two your aunt’s! Damn, listen to people talk!!"

Double Leaf exploded in anger.

"Um, I think what Double Leaf means is..."

Yu Chen tried to soothe the agitated barely five-foot-two figure while softly telling Motan: "Hei Fan, you shouldn’t carry those past burdens either. Haven’t you told me that Duke, with crimes enough to fill a bamboo scroll, was punished? (Double Leaf interjected: "Killed his whole family!"), so she’s surely not wanting you to carry a guilty conscience."

Double Leaf pouted, grumbling: "I never said that."

"Don’t worry~"

Yu Chen smiled, patting Double Leaf’s head (Motan was clearly stunned), and gently said: "Though Hei Fan tends to overthink, he should have come to terms with that."

"Instead, the one who couldn’t let it go, projecting that onto me."

Motan looked at Double Leaf with a complex gaze but then turned away awkwardly, saying: "You’d better really understand what you just said."

Perhaps Yu Chen’s friendly vibe was too strong, as Double Leaf unexpectedly didn’t resist having her head touched, lazily squinting and saying: "Don’t underestimate me; I’m now in peak form... Right, let’s discuss business, you guys help me keep an eye out for someone."

Yu Chen tilted his head: "Keep an eye on someone?"

Motan’s eyes twitched, calmly curious: "Who?"

"A jerk."

Double Leaf replied without hesitation (Motan’s eyes twitched again), then said with a slight frown: "Basically, I’m looking for him for some unspeakable reason."

Yu Chen’s head was filled with little question marks, mysteriously sparkling.

And Motan jokingly said: "You won’t even tell us why, so even if we spot that person, we wouldn’t know whether to alert you. What if you plan to kill them?"

"Nonsense."

Double Leaf waved a hand and started nonsense: "I’m looking for that man simply to make him take responsibility."

Yu Chen’s little question marks turned giant!

Motan looked ’keenly’ at Double Leaf, asking: "Take responsibility? Were you abandoned after a fling?"

"Hei Fan!"

Yu Chen chided, glaring at Motan, saying softly: "You shouldn’t joke about that..."

"I was indeed abandoned after a fling."

Double Leaf casually interrupted Yu Chen, nonchalantly saying: "Basically, due to various reasons, I was deceived by a man into losing heart and losing face. He left after getting what he wanted, leaving me with a fear of humans, crying at home daily, not even daring to go to the supermarket."

Motan: "..."

Yu Chen was caught off guard, frozen, while the large exclamation mark atop his head seemed to replace the large question mark!
