Chapter 549: We Have to Go Again
Ye Ning's words were like a pebble thrown into a lake, causing huge fluctuations in the conference room. After everyone confirmed the fact of the tree's existence, the atmosphere in the conference room became even more tense, and it seemed that the air had frozen.
Everyone's faces showed deep worry and fear, and their eyes widened as if they couldn't believe the truth in front of them, the towering tree that stood up to the sky, made them feel unknown and uneasy. There was a sense of oppression in the conference room, and there was a lot of talk, all throwing their own solutions to try to solve this seemingly ordinary but mysterious tree.
Despite the constant collision of opinions and the rise and fall of voices, Ye Ning remained calm in this chaotic environment, and he stood there firmly, facing all the doubts and opposition alone. His voice was like the dawn of dawn, piercing the darkness of the conference room, clear and firm.
"The scale of the tree's growth, and the fluctuations in the energy it emits, are beyond our conventional understanding. We can't jump to conclusions, we need more in-depth research and understanding." He said stubbornly.
His gaze was intense, as if to illuminate the chaotic scene: "If we act blindly, it can lead to unforeseen consequences. We have to be cautious, we have to plan carefully."
In his words, everyone felt a wake-up call that could not be ignored. They begin to realize that they are facing much more than just how to deal with a big tree, but how to remain calm and rational in the face of the fear of the unknown. The atmosphere in the conference room slowly calmed down, everyone was thinking about Ye Ning's suggestion, and the banquet was full of contemplation and reflection.
As soon as Ye Ning's words fell, the entire conference room fell into silence in an instant. His calm decision shocked everyone present. At this critical moment, Ye Ning's decisiveness and courage were fully revealed.
Everyone knows that in the face of such unpredictable forces, there is a huge risk involved in exploring and sampling. However, Ye Ning, as the strongest ability, chose to move forward without hesitation. This kind of responsibility and courage has even made many people admire.
Some, however, are apprehensive in their hearts. Ye Ning and his students, after all, are the treasures of the entire Anomaly Realm. This expedition is so risky, is it really worth the risk?
Moreover, what if Ye Ning really knew what was going on with that tree, or if Ye Ning's powerful ability was inseparable from that tree? It is also possible that Ye Ning has deceived the world and made a big plan to rule the world! But they also have no way to beware of Ye Ning.
But no matter what, Ye Ning, as the strongest, his decision-making and strength cannot be ignored. Moreover, in the face of this unknown towering tree, except for Ye Ning, who can have the strength and courage to deal with it?
There was a lot of talk, but in the end, everyone in the room made a decision. Some people looked at Ye Ning with worried eyes, and some people looked firm, but they all expressed the same decision: approval.
"Be careful, then," said an elder slowly, his eyes showing deep concern and concern, "and we all look forward to your safe return and bringing us back real information about the tree."
Ye Ning nodded, well aware of the importance and risks of this mission, he stood up and exchanged a firm look with his student, as if he was fully prepared.
The door to the conference room slowly closed, and the fainter and faintest sounds of discussion echoed through the empty room. People turned their eyes to Jiang Kaixu, whispering regret for his old friend, who had been imprisoned fifteen years ago and now miraculously appeared, while asking him about his unimaginable survival experience.
Ye Ning was the only one on the field who looked hurried, his eyes flashing with firm determination, but with a deep worry. He knew that even if he had just rescued Jiang Kaixu, he would not be able to stop, because he had to face the Western Continent again to explore the mysterious towering tree.
Obviously, Ye Ning wanted to go to the Western Continent again to have a look, and he was instructed by the Star Soul. Star Soul felt that his own strength was already much stronger than before, and he planned to join Ye Ning to test the bottom of this tree.
However, before Ye Ning can embark on a new round of missions, he still has one more place he must go to - his "home", which is called "Peace Affair."
office". He called a taxi, and the scenery outside the window was rapidly receding, and the car greeted the setting sun and drove him to that familiar place.
The Peace Office is his safe haven, his resting place. There are his comrades-in-arms, his students, and the people he has always guarded. As long as he comes here, no matter how complicated and difficult the outside world is, he can find a peace of mind.
He got out of the taxi and pushed open the heavy door of the Peace Office, and the familiar and warm air greeted him. He walked briskly up the stairs, and his destination was the familiar lounge—Li Yishuang's lounge.
He knocked lightly on the wooden light brown door, a ritual that had not been seen for a long time, as if time had stopped at this moment. He stood still at the familiar door, waiting for a response from inside the door, hoping to find the answer and find strength from the familiar person.
There was a sound of soft footsteps in the door, and then, the door slowly opened, and Li Yishuang's figure appeared at the door. Seeing Ye Ning outside the door, her expression seemed to be experiencing a heavy surprise.
Her eyes as clear as water stared at Ye Ning, her eyes full of shock and joy that could not be concealed. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions, ranging from heartfelt comfort to deep concern.
I saw that she instinctively opened her arms, as if she wanted to hug the person in front of her tightly. However, when her arms were halfway outstretched, she suddenly realized something, and instantly seemed a little shy and uneasy. She quickly withdrew her open arms, and then, somewhat cautiously, said, "It's good for you to come back, it's good to come back."
The tone was filled with endless relief and care. However, as she experienced, Ye Ning also knew very well that although the two of them had been entangled in their feelings for sixteen years, they had never reached the step of lovers, and that kind of ambiguous relationship made them both a little shy and uneasy.
Ye Ning looked at her, her heart was full of gratitude and warmth. He nodded slightly, and although the action was simple, it hid a deep tacit understanding and emotion. In this way, Ye Ning and Li Yishuang stared at each other in the silent and sweet silence in the air, as if the whole world was still at this moment.
Although Ye Ning's words were joking, the confidence and pride were undoubtedly true, which could be seen from the glint in his eyes. He is not boasting, but simply expressing confidence in his abilities.
Although Li Yishuang was joking, her bright eyes were full of pride and concern for Ye Ning. She knew how much hard work and sweat Ye Ning had put in to achieve today's achievements, and she also knew how heavy the responsibility on his shoulders was.
Hearing Ye Ning's pride, Li Yishuang pursed her lips lightly and responded mischievously: "Ah, yes, yes, you are the most powerful in this world!"
But what Li Yishuang's tone revealed was pure appreciation and deep trust.
She gently pushed open the door, and the simple and warm lounge appeared in front of Ye Ning's eyes. Sunlight shines through the windows and onto the warm carpet, making the whole space seem particularly peaceful.
Li Yishuang pointed to the sofa and motioned for Ye Ning to sit down, her every movement seemed so familiar and natural: "Come in and rest, I'll pour you a glass of water."
With that, she walked to the small kitchen next to her. Ye Ning could see her skillful gestures from behind, easily preparing water for him. She suddenly turned around and asked with a smile, "You should be okay next, right?"
It is as if they are asking a long-lost friend what has changed in each other's lives, but the care and emotions hidden under the language have never changed.
Ye Ning sat on the sofa, feeling Li Yishuang's gaze, he sighed slightly, his deep eyes reflected the firmness and worry in his heart: "Hey, I can only rest for one day, and I will set off tomorrow to continue to the Western Continent." This time the task is trickier than the previous ones,"
Ye Ning said, looking at the worry in Li Yishuang's eyes: "Last time, I just went to save someone. But I found a towering tree, and that towering tree is not simple, this time, I want to explore it more deeply."
The cup in Li Yishuang's hand almost slipped out of her hand, the worry in her eyes deepened, and the concern and fear for Ye Ning were clearly visible.
"Ah, how
Why do you want to go?" There was a tremor in her voice, "Last time you set off for the Western Continent, I was there every day...... I hope you return safely. And now, you're going to that dangerous place again......
Ye Ning looked at Li Yishuang, he knew that her worries were all for his good, but this mission was not only a challenge for him, but also an opportunity to get to know the mysterious towering tree more deeply, which could only be solved by the two of them together. He smiled gently, walked up to Li Yishuang, and gently patted her on the shoulder, trying to comfort her.
"I know it's dangerous, but I have to." Ye Ning said, "However, this time I won't let you worry about being alone at home, I decided to take you with me."
Li Yishuang's eyes widened, obviously she didn't expect Ye Ning to make such a decision. She looked at him in a daze, worry and surprise in her eyes. "Are you sure?"
She asked, a wry smile on the corner of her mouth, "I know I'm also an Adept, but my strength is still far from yours."
Ye Ning gently held Li Yishuang's hand, his eyes were full of determination: "With me here, what are you afraid of?"
