Chapter 288 Locusts crossing the border
"Alright! Let's just leave now! You guys can go away! Vice Chairman Wen and Bai Yatou stay!"
The chief made the final decision and everyone dispersed, leaving only three people in the room.
The old man in the lead waved to Bai Yaoyao who was sitting at the back of the desk, "Come on, come on! Bai girl, come sit next to me! We can't talk from such a distance!"
Bai Yaoyao immediately stood up and walked to the seat next to the leader and sat down.
"Commander! I haven't seen you for a while!"
"Hahaha! It's been a while. I was busy before you left last time, so I only talked to you on the phone." The old man smiled and pulled Bai Yaoyao's hand.
"I'm afraid it must have been very hard going there this time. Not only did you bring back the antidote materials for the poisonous star worm, but you also brought back so many good things. You really worked hard!"
Wende, who was sitting opposite Bai Yaoyao, also smiled and said, "That's right. I think Bai Yaoyao has lost a lot of weight since the last time we met! And I heard from Chen Yingjie and the others that they went through a lot of dangers before they came back!"
"Oh? There's this thing? These days, all the countries know that we have developed an antidote to the virus, and they all called me. I was tied to the phone every day, and I didn't even have time to read the report you submitted. I didn't even know about it! Bai girl, tell me carefully, what kind of danger did you encounter?"
Bai Yaoyao smiled quickly, "Don't worry, Commander, it was just a close call! It's just that the world there is full of immortal cultivators, and we're new here and not familiar with the situation, so we suffered a little! Fortunately, we have noble people to help us, and now the few of us who went there have all embarked on the path of cultivation, especially Lingmao and Murong Liuguang, who were teleported to the mainland of Hongmeng Immortal Realm and were accepted into the two immortal sects. After a few days, everything we need to prepare will be ready. When we go there again, we will definitely bring back more good things for the country!"
"Look, look!" The old man turned his head and looked at Wende. "In the eyes of this girl, we are just like Zhou Paopi. Just because we care about her for a few words, she thinks we are here to urge her to work! It's like she can't wait for her to set off immediately to get the treasure back for us old guys!"
Bai Yaoyao: ???
Is this what she just meant?
Couldn't the leader hear that she didn't want to make her worry, so she didn't mention those dangerous things?
Seeing Bai Yaoyao's embarrassed look, Wende laughed, "Chief! Stop teasing this girl! You'll scare her later!"
"Did I scare you?" The old man looked at Bai Yaoyao seriously and asked earnestly.
"Hehe...no...no..." Bai Yaoyao smiled awkwardly, feeling a lot of black lines on her forehead.
She finally understood why the high-level meeting of several leaders turned into a market. Maybe it was because the old man in front of her was deliberately indulging himself and watching others quarreling? !
The old man took Bai Yaoyao's hand and patted her gently twice, "Thank you for your hard work, little girl! Not to mention the spiritual soil and immortal cultivation books, just the aquatic products rich in spiritual energy that I brought back this time, I'm afraid it took a lot of effort!"
The old man sighed, "Sometimes, I really think we old guys are too much. On the one hand, we tell you not to have any psychological burden and to rest at home when you are tired, but on the other hand, we hope that you can go out more often and bring more good things home! I'm afraid the girl is blaming us in her heart, right?"
Bai Yaoyao waved her hands quickly, "No, no! Traveling to a foreign land is a great thing that many people can't even dream of. I have the opportunity to see scenery that others can't see, make friends with people that others will never make in their lifetime, and bring back some special products that benefit the country and the people. I'm so happy! How can I blame you!"
Wende also walked up to the old man and patted his shoulder soothingly, "Master, relax! It's good for young people to go out and see the world! This is an opportunity for Bai girl, but it's also an opportunity for China!
Thinking that one day, the myths of our country can be recreated, and the immortals in TV novels can be reborn in the world, I wish I could be a few decades younger! So I can see the glory of China!"
The old man shrugged, shook off Wende's hand on his shoulder, and said jokingly with a smile, "Go! I think you want to be a few decades younger, so that you can see if you have spiritual roots and can practice!"
"Hehe!" Wende was not angry at the old man's teasing. Instead, he said with a smile, "Of course not! If I could be a few dozen years younger, what would I need those young people for! I will definitely let Bai Yatou take me to that thing..."
Wende looked at Bai Yaoyao, "What's the name of the place you went to?"
Bai Yaoyao was happy to see the two old men bickering and diverting attention away from her. When she saw Vice Chairman Wen asked her, she smiled and replied, "Lingmao and Murong Liuguang went to the Hongmeng Immortal Realm! Chen Yingjie, Xiao Xiaoxiao and I went to the Mirage Sea Secret Realm."
"Yes!" Wende clapped his hands, "That's the fairyland! If I were a few decades younger, they wouldn't have any business! I would go out with Bai Yatou to see the world! When the time comes, I will come back and describe the scenery of the outside world to you, Chief!"
The old man laughed, "So when you're young, you can go out and have fun with that little white girl, leaving me to worry about all these messes at home! How could you come up with that!"
The old man glared at Wende in reproach, then turned his head to look at Bai Yaoyao, "Bai girl, don't pay attention to this old guy, he is just daydreaming! We are the only ones left, and the best thing we can do is to help you stand guard for the last time and pave the way for the future as smoothly as possible!
Now it is you young people who rule the world! Those of you who have gone out are pioneers. What China will become in the future depends entirely on you!"
Bai Yaoyao winked playfully and saluted with her hands hugged.
"Yes! Don't worry, Commander! We will definitely pick up everything that is useful to us like locusts passing through a border!"
"Go! How can you say you are a locust passing through!" The old man cursed with a smile, "We! This is called resource recycling!"
"Hahaha!"
The three of them laughed together. After Wende stopped laughing, he said to Bai Yaoyao seriously, "Bai girl, I left you alone this time not only to show my concern and comfort you, but also for something important!"
Bai Yaoyao: "What's the matter?"
"I've read all the reports you guys sent me. I also know about Xiao Xiaoxiao's situation. Her mind was controlled by someone, which brought you a lot of danger. Now she's in the hospital in a daze and still not conscious. Professor Wang, who has been educating her, asked me to apologize to you on her behalf."
When Bai Yaoyao heard that it was Xiao Xiaoxiao's fault, she immediately straightened her face, "It's okay! I didn't blame Xiaoxiao! Not only her, but also us were deceived by the thief's hypocrisy. If she hadn't risked her mind to poison the bad guy at the last moment, I'm afraid none of us would have been spared! You must not blame her anymore!"
