Chapter 125
Rong Yuan glanced at him and saw that he had no sign of lying. He smiled and said, "You are quite honest." He extended his hand and said, "Please take a seat."
There are several comfortable sofas and small round tables near the window in the library, with fresh fruit cakes and a pot of hot tea on them. These things are replaced three times a day by the manor's service staff. Although most of the time these things are not used, they also ensure that the owner here can get the best at any time whenever he needs them.
At present, the attitudes of people from all walks of life in Zhongwuxing towards Rong Yuan and his group are unclear. Many people are cautious or restricted from contacting them, but they do a good job in various small details of service. Their attitude is more like a ball of dough, which is sometimes annoying but does not make people angry.
Yun Yi sat down openly and said, "I think it's better to be honest in front of you."
"So? What do you want to tell me by coming here?" Rong Yuan poured him a cup of tea and asked.
"Thank you." Yun Yi took the teacup with both hands, then thought for a moment and said, "Well, I actually had a lot to talk to you about, but after coming here, I feel like there's no need to say anything."
"Oh?" Rong Yuan looked up at him and said, "These days, many people have come to me and said a lot to me, but you are the first one to say this."
"So, when I saw you, I understood. You've probably heard enough of what I want to say, so I won't annoy you anymore." Yun Yi blinked and said with a cunning smile.
Rong Yuan said: "These days, I have also heard some things about the leader of the resistance army, but you are quite different from what I thought, which is a bit unexpected."
"Oh..." Yun Yi suddenly realized and said, "Did you hear that the leader of the rebels is a real evil ghost, commanding a ghost army that kills without blinking an eye. They once bloodily massacred more than 700 people in a village, and even spared the Ming beasts and the Bi people. They were extremely cruel; or that he was a cowardly, incompetent, and heartless guy, soft-hearted, satisfied with a little achievement and fame, and did nothing at all. He just dragged a group of people to play house games! It's a pity that so many alien races still pinned their hopes on them. If you ask me, if someone else were to lead the rebels, the current situation would never be a small-scale fight!"
"Maybe... that's the rumor, right?" Yun Yi asked with a self-deprecating smile.
"Only a small part of the iceberg is exposed above the sea, and 90% of its volume is hidden under the sea. Although the resistance army has not been very powerful, judging from the fact that your people sneaked into the manor quietly and you could easily enter this library, it is obvious that the power you have secretly developed has already exceeded everyone's expectations." Rong Yuan said calmly: "So, you are a person who is good at forbearance and very wise. Regarding those extreme rumors about you, the former may be taking the blame for other resistance forces or even government forces; as for the latter..." Rong Yuan smiled slightly and said nothing more.
There are so many fools in the world. There is no need to explain anything to those who can only see the tiny benefits in front of them. Those who understand will understand naturally, and those who don’t understand will be able to misinterpret the facts in a completely opposite direction with their incredibly stupid brains even if you cut the facts open in front of them.
"Haha." Yun Yi laughed twice, touched his nose, and said a little embarrassedly: "You are too kind."
"But the 'very different' I mentioned is not this." Rong Yuan continued, and Yun Yi was slightly stunned.
"Alpha has already told me what you asked the girl to say before. Swear allegiance until death? Willing to serve me as your master?" Rong Yuan said sneerfully.
"Ha, ha ha." Yun Yi laughed dryly. When he said these words, although his subordinates looked moved and angry, he didn't think it was a big deal. He was just talking. But at this moment, under Rong Yuan's eyes that seemed to see through everything, he felt truly ashamed and said repeatedly: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I've made fun of you."
Rong Yuan retracted his gaze and continued, "I thought you were a cunning person who would do anything to achieve your goals. But I was surprised that you took the initiative to save Luo Er."
Yun Yi was stunned, his expression changed slightly, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
In fact, among the many rumors about the rebel leader, at least some of them are true. He is a kind-hearted guy.
The resistance forces on Zhongwu Star have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and they are countless. Most of them are actually quite extreme. Perhaps the long-term oppression has distorted human nature. Most of the aliens among the rebels, including a small number of humans who sympathize with the aliens, feel that only by cleansing the entire human race on the earth can the planet be truly saved. Therefore, they have never been afraid to even frequently actively provoke violent conflicts. More extreme ones even regard those aliens who help humans in conflicts or do not actively participate in violence as traitors and want to be cleaned up together.
In comparison, Yun Yi, who adheres to the philosophy of "not harming the innocent" and "not spreading hatred to all human beings" and always requires his partners to remain restrained, can be regarded as an outlier among the resistance forces. Even in the resistance army led by Yun Yi himself, there are actually many different voices. However, there are also a large number of relatively gentle or rational people who gather around him, forming a considerable force. Even if they have not done any famous "big events", they have gradually gained a certain degree of popularity among the government and the people.
Yun Yi himself knew that his overly kind heart and methods were his weaknesses. For example, this time, when he sneaked into the manor, he just wanted to be a bystander and did not intend to expose himself; he also knew that if the black-clothed men took the alien boy away or even "accidentally killed" him in the conflict, it would anger the aliens and deal a greater blow to the unknown forces and the Zhongwu Star government that failed to protect them. However... seeing the child's frightened, angry, and faintly sad eyes, Yun Yi's body moved before his brain made a decision and blocked the boy.
No matter what the purpose is... this is still a child...
In fact, Yun Yi regretted it the moment he made the move, but since he had stood up, he would not watch a child being hurt in front of him.
But now it seems that his decision at that time...may have been the best.
Semillian stumbled away along the shadows of the trees. He knew all the surveillance locations around him like the back of his hand and was confident that his figure would not appear in any of the cameras, but he also knew that this was only temporary.
Behind him, blood kept dripping around the footprints of varying depths. The warm liquid flowed out from his palms that were covering his abdomen, taking away the heat and strength from his body.
Alpha's control was beyond his expectations, and the speed of his counterattack was far beyond his previous expectations. Although Semillian made a decisive move to escape the moment he realized he was exposed, he was still pierced through the abdomen by an attack that followed. If he hadn't dodged in time with his extraordinary physical skills, perhaps his heart would have been pierced.
In a dark alley two or three streets away from the manor, there was a black van of ordinary appearance and very popular model parked. The headlights were completely off. Unless someone passed by, it would be difficult to notice the existence of such a car here.
Semillian simply treated his wound with some portable medicines he carried with him, walked to the side of the car, opened the back door and got in. The black car started and blended into the early morning traffic like a black bat.
"Failed?"
The person in the back seat didn't even raise his head. He asked casually while processing the documents in his hands. He didn't sound surprised or disappointed at all.
"Yeah, that's all within your expectations, isn't it?" Semillian smiled self-deprecatingly, lying on the back seat, letting a middle-aged doctor treat his wounds.
The interior of the black car was very spacious, and the various decorations were full of a sense of technology that was ahead of its time. In addition to the driver in the front, there were four other people . One was a doctor treating Semillian's injuries, one was sitting in the front, with several screens showing different images and charts in front of him, his fingers quickly tapping on the keyboard, another was sorting out a pile of documents and reports, and finally the person sitting in the back seat, talking to Semillian -
His handsome face was like a jade sculpture, with long eyelashes drooping down, hiding the thoughts in his eyes. Even when sitting in a car as soft and comfortable as clouds, his back was as straight as a pine tree, and his white and slender fingers flipped through the documents in his hands, giving a sense of tranquility and peace.
Semillian leaned back in his chair, letting the doctor fiddle with his wound. He squinted his eyes and glanced at the man next to him who seemed not to have heard him.
Lin Qingsi.
He and that man looked almost exactly the same, but even people who were not familiar with them could tell the difference between them at a glance and would not confuse the two.
But at the same time, the question of why two people who are originally separated by hundreds or even thousands of light years look so similar has never disappeared from people's minds. It's just that because these two people have a status that cannot be easily offended, the question is just a question and no one has ever said it to their faces.
Semillian had the same doubts, but he didn't care much about it and never asked. Just like Lin Qingsi never asked why Semillian, who was originally a member of the alien spacecraft, took the initiative to stand on the enemy side of his class.
They will not show their wounds to each other, nor do they care about each other's secrets. As long as they can achieve their goals, it is enough.
Anyway...it's just a relationship of mutual benefit.
