God-Level Special Forces Soldier-Chapter 437 - 434: Le Yaoyao’s Call
"Junior brother, you’ve been weary from travel, so just rest assured and take it easy at the sect for the time being!" Master Guanghuai said blandly, waving his duster outward.
"Senior brother?!"
Saintly Virtue Daoist detected something amiss in the Sect Leader Guanghuai’s words.
"Before the matter of the Double Fish Jade Pendant in Qingcheng becomes fully public," Master Guanghuai revealed his intention, "I will lead our junior brothers and select elite disciples from the sect to go forth this time. Our Dao Yi Sect is determined to succeed!"
"Senior brother, then I..."
Saintly Virtue Daoist tried to speak up, but was unceremoniously interrupted by Sect Leader Guanghuai: "While we’re not in the sect during this period, I’ll leave it to you, junior brother, to worry about!"
Seeing Master Guanghuai’s smile like a spring breeze, yet commanding him in an indisputable tone, Saintly Virtue Daoist’s expression was truly more bitter than weeping!
In contrast to Saintly Virtue Daoist’s disappointment, the others were in high spirits, ready to set off, even Master Saintly Sea, who usually sided with Saintly Virtue, had a bit of excitement flushing his cheeks.
Everyone knew that the Double Fish Jade Pendant had endless wondrous uses and was the key to opening the Kunlun Secret Realm, but no one had ever seen it in person. How could one not feel thrilled at such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?!
As Master Guanghuai’s orders were issued, those present hurriedly left to pick troops, appoint generals, and pack up, no longer having time to mock Saintly Virtue Daoist.
Master Saintly Sea wanted to say a few words of comfort, but ultimately failed to say anything, just patted Saintly Virtue on the shoulder and hurriedly left.

At this moment, Xiao Tian, who was still in the hospital room accompanying Lin Bingxuan, received a call from Le Yaoyao.
Looking at the caller ID with the cute little cat suffix he had added after Le Yaoyao’s name, Xiao Tian felt a bit nervous.
How was he supposed to face Le Yaoyao, Lin Bingxuan’s closest niece, given Lin Bingxuan’s current situation?
Listening to the increasingly urgent ringtone, Xiao Tian decided to hide the truth for now and confess the truth to her after he finds a way to solve the problem!
The call connected, and Le Yaoyao, who was ready to angrily question Xiao Tian for taking so long to answer, heard something she dared not dream of...
"I miss you!"
Xiao Tian said quickly, followed by a long silence on the other end.
In the past, when that girl called him, the first sentence would always be, "Uncle-in-law, did you miss me?"
This sentence was almost an unchanging opening, and this time, in his nervousness, Xiao Tian blurted it out, leaving Le Yaoyao at a loss on the other end!
Le Yaoyao felt her face become so hot it started to burn, and she stammered, unable to speak clearly.
"Unc-uncle-in-law, you, you, you..."
Xiao Tian thought Le Yaoyao was going to say that usual opening line again, so he repeated word-for-word, "I said, I miss you!"
"Beep beep beep..."
As soon as Xiao Tian finished speaking, he heard a series of busy tones from the receiver, and somewhat bewildered, he casually placed the phone on the table beside him.
Little did he know that on the other end, Le Yaoyao was about to go crazy.
When she first heard Xiao Tian say "I miss you," Le Yaoyao thought she was hallucinating, and then, in disbelief, she confirmed again, hearing Xiao Tian clearly and precisely say "I miss you" once more...
Young Miss Le Yaoyao very honestly shook her hand, ending the call.
"What do I do now? He actually said ’I miss you,’ words only spoken between lovers. Is he confessing to me?"
Le Yaoyao held her head, pacing swiftly in the living room, mumbling as if having a severe anxiety episode.
"If he really confesses, should I accept?"
Le Yaoyao’s heart was in turmoil; on one hand, she hoped it was true because this was something she only dreamed of achieving.
On the other hand, she hoped it was just a joke from Xiao Tian, given that he was her aunt’s boyfriend.
Just as the young girl was panicked and at a loss, Xiao Tian, looking at the comatose Lin Bingxuan, felt uneasy about Le Yaoyao’s abrupt hang up, so he called back.
"Unc-uncle-in-law, you, you, do you have something to say?"
Le Yaoyao still stammered a bit.
Xiao Tian was somewhat astonished, thinking it was this girl who called him first, without saying anything, then suddenly hung up, and now asking him if he has something to say?
"No, I was just asking if you were okay?"
Hearing Xiao Tian’s voice, Le Yaoyao quickly replied, "No, no problem!"
"Oh right!" Le Yaoyao suddenly remembered the reason she had called Xiao Tian initially, saying, "Our company has received a new event. The day after tomorrow, if you and my aunt are free, you should come together!"
Upon hearing Le Yaoyao mention Lin Bingxuan, Xiao Tian paused for a moment and said somewhat bitterly, "Your aunt has some company issues to sort out, and I have a couple of tricky cases at the police station, so..."
"It’s okay, if you’re both busy then forget it!" Le Yaoyao said, "Well, uncle-in-law, bye-bye!"
"Bye-bye!" Xiao Tian said relieved.
"Wait, wait!" Le Yaoyao couldn’t help but ask, "Uncle-in-law, were you serious about what you said earlier?"
Xiao Tian thought for a moment, unsure if he had made any jokes during the call, and answered, "Yes! Why?"
"No, nothing!" Hearing Xiao Tian’s acknowledgment, Le Yaoyao quickly hung up, unsure whether to feel happy or sad.
Once again, bewildered by the unexpected disconnection, Xiao Tian looked at the phone in confusion.
But he was reassured knowing the little girl wasn’t in any danger! 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Keke opened the door and saw Le Yaoyao’s face as red as a monkey’s bottom, immediately teasing, "Oh wow, look at that blush, are you dating someone? Who is it? Do you have a photo?"
Listening to her best friend’s barrage of gossip, Le Yaoyao denied everything and asked, "Isn’t the event about to start, why aren’t you rehearsing but instead coming to me?"
Keke coughed twice to clear her throat and said, "Dear President Le, I am thinking about your safety. Earning money is important, but personal safety is even more important!"
Le Yaoyao, hearing her friend’s mysterious and profound-sounding words, slightly disgruntled, asked, "What are you talking about? I didn’t catch a word!"
Seeing Le Yaoyao become serious, Keke straightened her playful demeanor and seriously inquired, "I ask you, where are we going for this event?"
"Lu Province, of course!" Le Yaoyao looked at Keke, a look as if staring at a fool, saying, "Didn’t I just tell you over lunch? How did you forget so soon?"
Keke, seeing her bestie in such a cute and naive state, immediately said anxiously, "I ask you seriously, Yaoyao, are you really this dense or just pretending?"
