When Wu Xiangnan heard Lin Qiye's answer, his brows furrowed more and more.
Just when he was about to ask something, Hongying suddenly sat up, stared at Wu Xiangnan with red eyes, and shouted angrily:
"Wu Xiangnan! What do you mean
Zhao Kongcheng is dead! Our teammate is dead! And you are still holding on to his affairs!
Isn't there a little sadness in your heart? ! "
Wu Xiangnan opened his mouth, paused for a moment, and then calmly said, "I am also very sad that Lao Zhao is dead, but the truth is equally important."
Hongying stared at him intently, her chest heaving violently. She sneered twice, smashed the black box in her hand heavily to the ground, and turned to walk towards the exit of the basement.
Wen Qimo, who was standing by, wanted to give some advice, but he felt someone pulling his sleeve and turned his head away in confusion.
Si Xiaonan was standing beside him and shook his head.
"So, those at the scene..."
"Shonan, that's enough!"
Wu Xiangnan was about to question Lin Qiye, but Captain Chen Muye, who had been standing at the edge, suddenly spoke up and interrupted him.
"Lin Qiye has explained it very clearly. As for the details... there is no need to ask further. This matter ends here." Chen Muye put his hands in his pockets, walked behind Wu Xiangnan and patted him on the shoulder.
Wu Xiangnan turned around in surprise, and seeing Chen Muye's unquestionable eyes, he hesitated for a while and nodded helplessly.
Chen Muye walked to the sofa opposite Lin Qiye and sat down slowly.
"Now that Zhao Kongcheng's matter is over, it's time for us to talk about you, Lin Qiye."
"What are you talking about?"
"As far as I know, Zhao Kongcheng once invited you to join the Night's Watch, but you refused. Later, he even told us that he had lost you. If you hadn't come out with Zhao Kongcheng's body, we might never have found you again in our lifetime...
In that case, why do you want to join the Night's Watch now?"
Chen Muye stared into Lin Qiye's eyes, which were extremely deep.
"To repay a favor." Lin Qiye said calmly.
Chen Muye was stunned, "Favor?"
"I made an agreement with him that I would join the Night's Watch." Lin Qiye paused, "But I have a condition."
"What conditions?"
"I will only stay in the Night's Watch for ten years. After ten years, I will leave."
Hearing Lin Qiye's words, everyone present was stunned, and their expressions suddenly became strange.
"The Night Watchmen are not community volunteers. Once you join, you cannot leave. So the ten years you mentioned... I can't promise you that. No one in the entire Night Watch organization can give you that promise."
Lin Qiye was about to say something when Chen Muye spoke again:
"However, if you have the ability to leave the Night's Watch on your own ten years later and make the Night's Watch's top brass helpless against you, that would be another matter.
Anyway, if you want to leave the Night Watch through formal procedures... No way!"
"Okay." Unexpectedly, Lin Qiye nodded very straightforwardly, "Ten years later, if I can't leave, then that's my problem."
Hearing Lin Qiye's almost lawless answer, Si Xiaonan and Wen Qimo opened their mouths in surprise. Even Leng Xuan's eyelids, as cold as an iceberg, twitched and he looked at Lin Qiye twice more.
"In that case, I will submit your application to the higher-ups right away, but you won't be considered a full-fledged member until you've gone through training."
"Training?"
"The Night's Watch is a semi-military organization. Before officially joining the Night's Watch, all new members must participate in a year-long training to learn combat, firearms, combat deployment, the use of forbidden ruins and other skills."
"When does it begin?"
"In September of each year, which is one month from now, before you finish the training camp, you can only be considered a temporary member of our team." At this point, Chen Muye seemed to remember something and solemnly reminded:
"We don't provide food and lodging for temporary team members."
Lin Qiye: …
No food and lodging included
Aren't night watchmen supposed to have good benefits? How can they be so stingy? ! !
"Then, where will I live for this month?" Lin Qiye panicked.
Go back to my aunt's house? No, no, no, no, there is a 99% chance that he will not come out if he goes back. He might even run away with his whole family...
But he definitely had to inform his aunt, at least to let her know that he was safe, so he prepared to write a letter back, saying that he was going to join the army, so that she would feel more at ease.
But the problem now is that the night watchman won't let him stay overnight. Does he have to sleep on the streets
"It's okay, you can come live at my house."
At this moment, Hongying, who had been hiding behind the door, poked her head out and whispered, "My house is quite big, so it's no problem to give you a room."
"Hongying, didn't you leave in anger?" Wen Qimo widened his eyes.
"I, I... I remembered that I didn't take something, so I came back, is that not okay?!" Hongying glared at her, walked into the house, picked up the black box on the ground, turned around and glared at Wu Xiangnan again.
Wu Xiangnan: …
Under Wu Xiangnan's speechless eyes, Hongying walked up to Lin Qiye and said gently: "Brother Qiye, don't worry, since you are a member of our team, I will definitely protect you!"
"Temporary, he is a temporary member." Chen Muye corrected seriously, "Besides, it's not certain who is older between the two of you, you can't just call him your brother so carelessly."
"Captain, you are too rigid!" Hongying stuck out her tongue at Chen Muye, tore off a piece of paper from the table, wrote down an address, and stuffed it into Lin Qiye's hand.
"Brother Qiye, I still need to practice my spear. If you can't find me after the formalities are completed, you can go back first."
Hongying's face was very close to Lin Qiye, so close that Lin Qiye could clearly smell her faint fragrance and see her eyelashes trembling slightly...
The pair of clear eyes looked at Lin Qiye with a smile, like a pool of autumn water in the golden maple forest, clear, moving, and full of warmth.
I have to say, Hongying is very beautiful.
Fair skin, petite nose, red lips, delicate facial features, plump...
Lin Qiye moved his gaze back in time.
Two blushes appeared on her face inexplicably.
This was the first time in his life that he had been so close to a girl, and a girl as natural and clear as Hongying.
"Thank you... Thank you, Sister Hongying."
"Ahahahaha!" Hongying suddenly stood up and laughed excitedly, which scared Wu Xiangnan who was standing behind him.
"Why are you so nervous!" Wu Xiangnan said unhappily.
"What do you care about me!" Hongying pouted, "Who made our new brother call so nicely..."
The corner of Lin Qiye's mouth twitched slightly, and he subconsciously turned his head to the side.
At this time, Wen Qimo came over with a smile, "Hongying, don't bully the newcomer. Qiye, let's go. I'll show you around and tell you about the Night Watch."
Lin Qiye felt as if he had been pardoned. He followed Wen Qimo out of the door and walked down the stairs to the ground.
"Seven Nights." Wen Qimo suddenly spoke in the corridor.
"What's wrong, Senior Wen Qimo?"
"Ahem... don't call me senior, it's too distant, and I'm probably only two or three years older than you." Wen Qimo scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Just call me by my name, or call me Qimo like them."
"All right."
"Actually, I have a request." Wen Qimo stopped and looked seriously into Lin Qiye's eyes.
"What?"
"Tonight... can I stay with you at Hongying's house? I've wanted to go there for a long time."
Lin Qiye: …
