Lu Heng sat on a branch of a tree and through the gaps between the branches above, watched the bright moon illuminating the sky, just like clear water in a river. In the evening celebration banquet, Lu Heng had tasted every kind of canned food in the marching rations that he wanted. Apart from the lunch meat, there were canned meat such as braised pork and pork balls. Although the taste was certainly not as good as the former, but now with the sense of taste of this body, he barely refrained from swallowing his tongue.

So, Lu Heng ate to his fill. While he was walking along the road to digest the food, he saw an old tree, which seemed to be hundreds of years old. Lu Heng just happened to be a little tired. So he leapt into the tree branch and found a place to rest. Just as he felt a little drowsy, there were voices of people conversing under the tree.

“Ah Mu, what’s wrong with you and Little Le? I didn’t want to care about your personal affairs, but I can’t let it go now that it has affected the whole team.” It was Qin Yi and Mu Fei.

Lu Heng was reluctant. Eavesdropping on others was not good, but it was possible to collect more information about Jiang Sile. When he was entangled, Mu Fei opened his mouth.

“Little Le has always disliked me looking after Rongxi. I explained the reason to him, and he had also reluctantly accepted it. Just don’t know why, two months ago, his hostility towards Rongxi suddenly aggravated again.”

“What is this matter about Pan Rongxi? When you brought him into the team, you said he was your junior apprentice brother. I think you have been quite attentive towards him.” Qin Yi frowned. In order to stimulate Pan Rongxi’s power Mu Fei really did his best, and whenever he had a suitable crystal nucleus, his first action would be to gave it to him.

“Rongxi is really pitiful. His father was an alcoholic. When he was a child, his mother could not bear the tumultuous household and ran away. He was left to face the drunkard father. He would be beaten up if the other person had nothing to do. With things like this, he managed to graduate school on his own efforts to win the completion prize.” Mu Fei continued, “He and I had been under the tutelage of the same mentor, and after knowing these, I cannot help but be more attentive to him.”

Qin Yi knew that Mu Fei had a disposition of a softy, and he had loved to take care of people from an early age. But previously, when Mu Fei took care of the bullies in the yard, Jiang Sile had not been so disgusted.

“But even if you are a bit more attentive to Pan Rongxi, Little Le’s reaction is a little too much. He is not your wife, how can he meddle in the circumstances regarding your friendship?” Qin Yi said.

“…”

Mu Fei was silent for a moment, as just when he was resolved to speak out his mind, he was interrupted by Qin Yi.

“Well, I’m talking nonsense. Don’t take it to heart. You are all men, what wife or not wife! You go back first and call Little Le.”

Mufei swallowed the words on his lips and turned away, leaving.

Lu Heng did not intend to make a noise now. He shrank into the dense foliage of the leaves and restrained his breathing. This Qin Yi was probably a straight man, and failed to interpret the meaning of Mu Fei’s words.

Lu Heng, who was as bent as mosquito-repellent incense, could understand. Mu Fei and Jiang Sile were a couple. Combined with the sketchy data of the rebirths that have been observed before, it was probably Pan Rongxi who intervened. From Mu Fei’s words, it could be inferred that Jiang Sile’s rebirth time should be two months ago.

Comparing with the time of the lingyuan’s theft, Jiang Sile’s suspicion had been accentuated by a few points. It seemed that he needed to find an opportunity to test out the situation.

When Lu Heng’s thoughts were churning, voices of conversing came from below.

“Elder brother Yi, what do you want me to do?”

“For today’s task, according to the rules of the team, 1,000 points of contribution deducted, and downgraded to the third grade.” Qin Yi said.
