Chapter 1449: Chapter 1442: Decoding the Secret Letter

"This time, the plan is to contact the Ghost Race and foster an alliance between the Demon Clan and the Ghost Race to jointly confront the three major aristocratic families," Zisu took the initiative to explain the reason, "We’ve just fought a battle with the Yichuan Clan’s house troops, many died, but the situation on the battlefield hasn’t changed at all."

"Mm..." Luo’er didn’t respond but nodded in agreement.

"So, to completely end this war, I think we need more external support," Zisu continued.

"Do you think the Ghost Race is reliable?" Luo’er asked curiously.

"I believe they are," Zisu said and began to explain, "The Kyushu Empire once tried to invade Aximiya Island but was soundly defeated by the people of the Ghost Race. Since then, the Kyushu Empire has not dared to lay a finger on Aximiya Island again. This shows that the strength of the Ghost Race is not to be underestimated."

"Mm..." Luo’er lowered his head, pondered for a moment, then looked up earnestly and said, "Although this concerns the paramount affairs of the Demon Clan, please allow me to consider it further. I can’t agree immediately, I’m sorry."

"There’s no need to apologize to me; it’s perfectly normal for you to have your own concerns, especially since you are isolated overseas without kin or kindred," Zisu said, waving his hand.

After exchanging pleasantries for a few more moments, under the sullen gaze of Tangmo in the distance, Zisu tactfully left Luo’er. Watching Zisu leave, the smile on Luo’er’s face slowly faded, revealing a profound expression.

"Luo’er..." Tangmo stepped forward, her tone filled with gloom.

But before she could finish, Luo’er slapped a letter on her face, "This is a secret letter, get Yue’er to decode it immediately."

"Eh?" Hearing his words, Tangmo was startled, then quickly picked up the letter and opened it to look.

As a talented student from Haiya Academy, Tangmo’s focus was not on the somewhat comical figure, but on the pattern made up of short lines and dots she saw at a glance.

"Morse Code?" Tangmo widened her eyes and couldn’t help but ask in a lowered voice.

"Mm, can you decode it?" Luo’er nodded and asked.

"Uh... it’s a bit troublesome..." Tangmo scratched her head, showing an embarrassed expression of feeling inadequate.

"Never mind, you and Yue’er decode it together. It’s from Ziang; there must be some important information. I need the accurate text immediately," Luo’er said with a serious face.

"Understood, I’ll do it right away!" Tangmo, realizing how urgent Luo’er’s need was, perked up and saluted enthusiastically.

In fact, she also understood that her relationship with Luo’er had reached its peak, and there was no need for improvement. Her eager diligence was actually just laying the groundwork for an aggressive pursuit.

The longer Tangmo was in contact with Luo’er, the more she felt that Luo’er was quite the casanova, always keeping them on tenterhooks but never allowing them to take advantage of him.

Of course, these were just Tangmo’s thoughts. Luo’er was actually quite simple; the reason he kept them hanging was not for any other reason but pure shyness and conservatism.

Experiences from his childhood made Luo’er take concepts like family and responsibility very seriously, which also made him very sincere when it came to matters of the heart.

Actually, with Luo’er’s qualifications and character, not to mention starting a harem or something, being a casanova with central air conditioning would have been no problem at all. But he happened to be a focused and pure-hearted person; he used to blush for a long time just from holding a girl’s hand, let alone going any further.

As a result, Luo’er’s purity and shyness, in Tangmo’s eyes, looked like an equivocal invitation, leaving her always wanting to push Luo’er down and turn the raw rice into cooked rice.

Generally, in romantic relationships, boys are mostly proactive, while girls tend to be passive. But with Luo’er, the situation was completely the opposite. Luo’er was passive, while girls like Tangmo were proactive.

However, in Tangmo’s view, this was only the apparent passivity and proactivity. In reality, behind the scenes, Luo’er was still proactive, and she was passive. The reason was that no matter what Luo’er did, he always managed to attract her attention and involuntarily made her infatuated with him.

Tangmo found Baiyue, and the two of them spent more than half an hour to decipher the content of this secret report.

In this secret report, Cheng Ziang gave a general roundup of their activities over the period, mentioning that they had rescued a girl named Yichuan Ying on the front lines, who was the young lady of the Yichuan Clan that occupied West Outer Heaven’s Jiangzhou.

Yichuan Ying’s brother was Yichuan Long, who currently held military authority over the Yichuan Clan, so Cheng Ziang and his team were worried whether the Demon Clan might intend to lure them away and then use Yichuan Ying to contend with Yichuan Long.

Although Cheng Ziang’s secret report provided little information, Luo’er immediately understood his thoughts. Cheng Ziang was obviously worried about a potential diversion by the Demon Clan, which was why he tossed this problem to Luo’er.

"This guy, does he not know Luo’er is also very busy at the rear? He really doesn’t understand anything at all," Tangmo remarked with some annoyance as she put down the translated text.

"You can’t say that, if Cheng Ziang acted without Luo’er’s permission, Luo’er would definitely be angry," Baiyue added from the side.

"Don’t make me out to be the grump who likes to get angry over nothing," Luo’er responded with a wry smile, then he spoke seriously, "But regardless, I think Ziang has done nothing wrong in this matter. For something this important, he indeed needs to report to his superiors rather than take matters into his own hands."

"Isn’t the superior you?" Fulajie’er suddenly popped up from somewhere and said with a flip in mid-air, "You and Cheng Ziang are as close as can be; does he really need to ask for your permission to do anything?"

"Don’t say that; there are procedures that must be followed, it’s not as though because we have a good relationship we can just forget about proper processes," Luo’er stated.

"I’ve said it before, Luo’er is always particularly meticulous about trivial matters," Tangmo sighed, resting her chin on her hand.

"I’m not exactly a superior now, am I? Don’t forget that the Advance Team is currently under Teacher Zhu, and if we want to do anything, we still have to seek her opinion," Luo’er mentioned.

"Teacher Zhu has already delegated the authority; you’re just wasting your time on pointless procedures instead of thinking about what to do next," Tangmo expressed her frustration.

"Maybe, we could ask them to send Yichuan Ying back to Big South East Peace City?" Baiyue tentatively inquired.

"Forget it, if they were willing to send her back, they wouldn’t have bothered to write a letter; she could have just come back with Zisu when she had the chance," Tangmo shrugged her shoulders and commented.

Actually, she also harbored her own little thoughts, always feeling that continuously bringing girls home for Luo’er was practically tempting him to cheat.

"Let me analyze this," Luo’er pondered with a slight frown, "Yichuan Ying and Ziang’s relationship should be quite good, and because Yichuan Ying and Yichuan Long are siblings, their relationship should also be solid. So obviously, Ziang and his team do not want to forcibly use Yichuan Ying to threaten Yichuan Long."

"It’s that old tune again, such a gentleman," Tangmo made a curious noise, which sounded like it could be either a tease or a sigh.

"The consistent principle of the Advance Team is equality for all, friend or foe. So Ziang’s approach is indeed not blameworthy; I would act the same way," Luo’er nodded in agreement.

"That’s why you have so many admirers..." Tangmo muttered despondently.

"So obviously, Cheng Ziang doesn’t want to accompany Zisu to Aximiya Island, not because he doesn’t want to, but because he’s afraid, worried that it might be a trap," Baiyue analyzed.

"Yes," Luo’er nodded again, "He may not fully understand Zisu’s character, so it’s natural for him to be cautious of her."

"You don’t fully understand either; don’t think that having a good relationship with someone means you completely understand them. Luo’er, the heart of a woman is like a needle at the bottom of the ocean; you need to be cautious when dealing with them," Tangmo couldn’t help but interject.

"So, you also think that Zisu might draw away Ziang and the others, then use Yichuan Ying for her purposes alone?" Luo’er asked with a slight frown.

"If successful, the Demon Clan could spare the lives of many; this would not be driven by sensibility but would be a very rational choice. If it were me, I would consider it. To trade the sacrifice of one for the survival of many, from a rational standpoint, isn’t that very cost-effective? It’s just that our sensibilities cannot accept it," Tangmo shrugged nonchalantly.

"That makes sense..." Luo’er nodded with understanding.

He had initially thought Tangmo was just grumbling out of jealousy; he hadn’t expected her to have thought so deeply. Realizing this, Luo’er felt ashamed of his own malicious assumptions.
