Chapter 1287: How Small Is That?
The news that Lin Wenwen would bring a large group of people back to All Being Base from Sea City Base made both Lin Feng and Chen Yuting curious and excited.
“No matter how she persuaded those people, it’s amazing that she managed to bring over thirteen thousand people to our base! I guess Xiao Yunlong’s heart is twitching with pain right now. He and Chief Wu have been having their eyes on those people for six or seven years. But now, Miss. Lin is gonna take them away just like that… Hahaha…” Picturing the bitter look that would emerge on the faces of Xiao Yunlong and Wu Chengyue when the two heard the news, Chen Yuting couldn’t help but laugh.
Lin Feng looked at him and asked with curiosity, “Why wouldn’t they join Sea City Base? Wu Chengyue invited them a few times. Why did they reject the invitation?”
Chen Yuting shook his head and said, “I don’t know. Not even Xiao Yunlong and Chief Wu know the reason. They just didn’t want to join Sea City Base. But, I do know something important about them. The three men who have been running the group weren’t the ones in charge. The one who’s really in charge is actually a small-sized girl!”
“What do you mean by a small-sized girl? How small is that?” Lin Feng found his description funny, so he asked a question out of curiosity.
Chen Yuting smiled and said, “Eh-hem, not very small, actually. She’s about five feet tall. I only saw her once. When I saw her, she was standing side by side with a man who’s over six feet tall. You know, their height difference…”
Lin Feng pictured a short girl and a tall man standing together. That scene in his head was a little indescribable. “How were they looking?” he asked Chen Yuting.
“The man was tall, and the girl was kinda adorable. They were like a poker-faced brother and a small-sized, cute little sister,” Chen Yuting spent a few seconds thinking and said. If the girl weren’t standing with an extra-tall man the first time he saw her, his first impression of her wouldn’t be of a very small-sized girl.
“Who do you think she is? Why do the others all listen to her?” Lin Feng came back to the original topic. While speaking, they walked to the door of Lin Feng’s office. “I know nothing about her, except for her name and the fact that she’s one of the leaders of the hunter’s group. I don’t even know anything about her superpower. I don’t think she ever carried out a mission.”
Lin Feng walked into his office and put the materials to be used in the meeting on his desk. Meanwhile, Chen Yuting sat down on the couch and continued, “I don’t know why those men are all willing to listen to that small-sized girl. They have kept everything about her secret. She’s been under strict protection, so many are curious about them. Some even hired people with high prices to dig into their background. But so far, no one has found out anything about that girl yet.”
“They are so mysterious? I feel that the girl is like an old witch, or something like that.” A mystic, dirty, old witch who lived in a cave popped in Lin Feng’s head.
On hearing Lin Feng’s words, Chen Yuting immediately pictured the same scene. He replaced the old witch’s face with the face of the girl that he had seen though. Thinking that, he shuddered and said, “Ew! How could you say that? She’s an adorable little girl! Why did you call her witch?”
“Since they wouldn’t join Sea City Base, why did they agree to join All Beings Base now?” Lin Feng asked, “Our base was founded a year ago. Why didn’t they come here earlier? Why now? Eh…”
He thought of Lin Wenwen. She was the one who convinced those people to join All Being Base. Not long ago, Lin Wenwen traveled through time to seven years ago. Soon after she returned, she talked a huge group of people into joining her base. Did that have something to do with her time travel?
He couldn’t tell that directly to Chen Yuting, so he let out an ‘eh’, then looked at the latter with confusion. The latter looked back at him, who seemed to be having some thoughts, but was not coming up with a conclusion yet. So, he spent a few seconds looking at him quietly, without making any sound. He didn’t want to interrupt the other’s thoughts. However, the eye-contact between them lasted for quite a few seconds, but the look on Lin Feng’s face never changed.
What was he thinking about?
“What’s wrong? Do you have something in your mind or not?” Chen Yuting couldn’t help but ask the question out loud.
Lin Feng shook his head as he said, “Em, I have one idea, but I’m not sure. There will be an answer when Wenwen and those people arrive.”
…
At that time, in Sea City Base, Lin Wenwen, Dong Lijia, and some others were sitting in Xiao Yunlong’s office, looking at Xiao Yunlong.
Xiao Yunlong was also looking at them, unhappily. Six or seven people were on the scene. The entire office was in a weird silence.
“Eh-hem, Chief Xiao, you don’t seem happy.” The atmosphere was getting strange. Lin Wenwen had no choice but to start a conversation to break the silence.
“What? Oh, I’m happy. They never wanted to join our base anyway. They’ll be leaving sooner or later. It’s a good thing that they’re going to All Beings Base. There’s only a short distance between your base and ours, after all. I’m happy, as long as they won’t be joining Huaxia Base or any other base!” Hearing Lin Wenwen talking to him, Xiao Yunlong responded with a bitter smile.
Lin Wenwen paid a visit to his base, and as a result, she decided to bring over ten thousand people away. Sea City Base had a population of over two-million, so losing ten thousand people wouldn’t be a big deal for it. However, many among those people who decided to follow Lin Wenwen to All Being Base were very capable.
Not to mention the mysterious Dong Xinxin, her brother, Dong Lijia, was at level-seven already. He upgraded not long ago. Luo Yuanjun and Deng Chenfei were both at the peak of level-six. Their hunter’s group had over a hundred level-five members, and over ten level-six ones. All those people were following their lead with a hundred percent loyalty. No one knew how they recruited those people.
When Lin Wenwen asked Meng Yue to find those people for her, she didn’t say their people out loud. Therefore, Xiao Yunlong didn’t care much about that at first. Later on, after Meng Yue told him the names of those people, he started to have a bad feeling.
Soon, what he was worried about came true. Dong Lijia had talked to him and handed in the application for leaving a couple of hours ago. What was even worse, his group wasn’t the only one that was preparing to leave. Quite a few hunter’s groups had decided to follow them!
Wu Chengyue had been paying close attention to those people. He talked to them a few times, but they never wanted to join Sea City Base. He had no way to change their minds.
Xiao Yunlong could imagine how frustrated Wu Chengyue would feel when he came back and learned about the those people’s leaving.
