Ba Lv often comes here to ride the gunboat out for tasks, so she is very familiar with the arrangements. After exchanging a few words with the man who looked like a small leader and greeted him, she led Jiang Cheng and Yanran to a gunboat. After they boarded it, Ba Lvti jumped down again and went to the cave nearby.

Yanran mused there: "Little greedy fellow, the three of you already have one gunboat, yet you want to take this one too."

Ba Lvti quickly returned, gave Yanran a thumbs-up, signaling Yanran to take off.

Under Yanran's piloting, the gunboat slowly slid out of the mountain, its speed suddenly quickened, swiftly soaring into the sky. At the same time, they saw the other parked gunboat explode violently, thick smoke and flames emerged from the mountain.

They saw members of the Black Exhaust Group hastily running toward the cave.

Jiang Cheng glanced at Ba Lv, no need to say, it was her masterpiece.

Ba Lvti returned his glance, without speaking.

The gunboat flew into the sky, initially heading towards Delmar Planet, as instructed by Jiang Cheng. Suddenly, as they passed by the mountain cave at Black Group Headquarters, there was a massive earthquake, followed by a powerful shockwave approaching from afar, and then that place inexplicably collapsed.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Cheng said nothing. Destroying that parked gunboat really was nothing compared to this.

Such a large mountain was brought down by her explosives, just think of how much dynamite this little girl used!

Indeed, ruthless and merciless!

Guo Ran was piloting the gunboat towards Delmar Planet. Ba Lvti sat on the armrest of her chair, one hand extended to her side, the two leaned their heads together as if talking intimately.

Jiang Cheng crossed his hands behind his head, resting his head on them, tilted slightly upward, gazing at the stars outside the window passing by, slowly closing his eyes.

Jiang Cheng led Yanran, not only killed the top leaders of the Black Exhaust Group and their high-ranking followers on Harry Planet but also destroyed their headquarters.

In the process, they not only recovered Little Flaming Firebird and completed their mission, but as an unexpected gain, an important former member of the Black Exhaust Group, now turned against Black Exhaust, Ba Lv's gang, also joined them.

"Cheers!" Ba Lvluo and Yanran raised their drink glasses, gently clinking them together, droplets of joy leaping from the glasses' edge.

"Hey!" Seeing his teacher, Jiang Cheng, sitting nearby, unmoving, Yanran gave Jiang Cheng a reproachful glance: "Come on," she forcibly placed the drink glass from the table into Jiang Cheng's hand, then raised her own cup, gently tapping it against his.

"You too," she called out to Ba Lv.

Ba Lvti laughed, also tapped Jiang Cheng's cup gently like Yanran did, then made a funny face, smiling at Jiang Cheng: "Sorry oh, sir."

Although Ba Lv left Harry Planet with them and arrived at Delmar Planet, it seemed like she intends to stay. But how will they live together? Jiang Cheng hasn't thought it through yet.

Though Yanran repeatedly urged him to take Ba Lvti as a disciple, and he of course trusts Yanran's words that Ba Lvluo's talent is exceptional, like an unpolished jade, with the right mentor, guiding its craftsmanship appropriately, this jade would reveal its inherent beauty and shine.

That idea was rather tempting to him.

If he had several students, and if their abilities were decent, they could alleviate some of his troubles. It would be unnecessary for him to deal with every minor or major issue personally.

Students should do some things for their teachers anyway.

But Ba Lvti, this little girl, is unlike anyone else. She has been an orphan since childhood, raised by high-ranking members of the Black Exhaust Group, receiving their training since young, growing up to become a killer with blood on her hands.

Her various experiences made Jiang Cheng endure a bit of anxiety.

Since she grew entirely in the Dark World, always receiving the darkest human thoughts, would it affect her personality?

Might she have some psychological issues she hasn't even realized?

Taking her as a student isn't difficult, he only worries that in the future, should Ba Lv suddenly act on something festering in her personality, leading to cruel, unethical actions, what should he do?

It's not improbable, he witnessed firsthand this little girl from the Dark World blow away the Black Group Headquarters she had been associated with for decades.

Moreover, how much blood is there on this seemingly lively young girl's hands? How many lives has she taken? Remember, she has always been a killer at the Black Group's Headquarters.

Comparatively, Yanran seems like a pure angel, though a few dozen Black Group members also fell by Yanran's hand.

But compared to Ba Lv, that is truly a minor infraction.

Does Ba Lv have something in her heart that Jiang Cheng can't discern yet?

If after Jiang Cheng takes her as a student, this gemstone emits its luster.

But if, at that time, some hidden aspect of her starts acting out, even guiding her astray.

At that moment, what should he do?

Though Jiang Cheng despises fame and the inconveniences it brings, he hates those who approach him under the guise of admiration, boldly using that excuse to disturb his life, which makes him especially disgusted.

Hence, Jiang Cheng doesn't pursue fame; he simply doesn't care.

However, he fiercely protects the reputation already attributed to him, ensuring no one tarnishes even a speck of his honor.

If he takes Ba Lv as a disciple, that's fine, but if she later does something outrageous, thus ruining his reputation, what should he do?

Sacrifice relationship for justice?

Let her evade the law?

Or ignore everything?

Jiang Cheng was truly troubled by these thoughts. He put down his cup and stepped onto the balcony outside the room.

The night outside was beautiful; a gentle breeze blew, neither cold nor hot, carrying an indescribable fragrance from some unknown flowers, a faint scent that felt almost intoxicating.

Unknown birds were sporadically chirping, as if calling their young to return home as night falls.

Jiang Cheng basked in the beauty of the night, watching the distant crowds coming and going, pushing aside his worries for a moment.
