Chapter 128: Cooperation Between a Child and an Adult
Jin Fengqing was not surprised that Xiao Huan knew her identity. After all, this kind of information could be found with a little investigation. After all, she had been brought to the island by the enemy. Those people were all cowards. With a little interrogation, they would surely say everything.
She turned to look at Xiao Huan and asked, “I wonder what the Federation Lord has called me here for?”
Xiao Huan looked at this child who was like a little adult, and her heart still felt a little uncomfortable. Children who were forced to grow up, the hardships they had experienced were not something an ordinary person could bear. To not go mad was already not an ordinary person.
And she could actually lead the Jin family to rise. To have such a mind at such a young age, had the Jin family saved the galaxy in their previous life?
Xiao Huan reined in her emotions and smiled. “I wanted to ask if you want me to send you back. According to the news I have, your Golden Rope Connection seems to have a problem.”
Jin Fengqing’s emotions did not fluctuate. The look in her eyes when she looked at Xiao Huan did not change either, as if the matter Xiao Huan had mentioned had nothing to do with her.
Seeing her silent, Xiao Huan stood up, personally made her a cup of tea, and then sat down beside her, saying softly, “I only have one purpose, and that is that in the future, when the Golden Rope Connection receives an assassination order for me, you can not take this order for the sake of this time. I do not want to be your enemy. In addition, you also know what the outside world has become. We cannot afford internal strife.”
Jin Fengqing looked down at the tea in front of her, as if in deep thought, or as if she were in a daze. After a long while, she said, “The strength of the Golden Rope Connection is not as good as before. I will reorganize the Golden Rope Connection later and then move the whole family to the Starshine Federation. I hope the Federation Lord can arrange a good position for us.”
“You mean you want to join the Starshine Federation?”
Jin Fengqing nodded, her small hands holding the teacup and taking a light sip. “I’m sure you also know that the Jin family is in the Lingxi Federation. The current Lingxi is in a mess, even more chaotic than here. Even some of the Jin family members are involved. I want to clean up the Jin family and then join you. The condition is that we must have the qualification to enter the island.”
The Jin family had very few people now. The Golden Rope Connection had gone from tens of thousands of people in the past to a few thousand now. She could not let the Jin family be destroyed in her hands. Even if she died later, she could go down and explain to her mother that she had done her best.
The arrival of the apocalypse was definitely the most harmful to a large family like theirs. It was not just a matter of money, but also a matter of people. The number of people was constantly decreasing, and many people were thinking of leaving the family. It was almost a mess.
But by the time she had dealt with these matters, she had been plotted against and then brought all the way to the Starshine Federation. She was sold to a woman, but she had come at an inopportune time. The woman had actually entered the sky island, so those people had no choice but to follow.
At first, the woman just liked to touch her. Later, she liked to scare her and even liked to have those men surround her, wanting her to show a look of fear. Unfortunately, she had never been able to fulfill that woman’s wish.
But this time, it was a blessing in disguise. She had learned about the sky island researched by the Starshine Federation. She had even personally gone in for a tour. Although the process was a bit strange, the result was good.
Xiao Huan was quiet for a moment, then said, “Of course I welcome you. Unfortunately, someone probably doesn’t want you to come.”
Jin Fengqing chuckled softly. “If the Federation Lord has something to say, just say it. Your acting skills are not enough in front of me.”
Xiao Huan just smiled, not at all angry at being exposed. “If you can kill Li Yitian, you can safely join the Starshine Federation.”
Jin Fengqing squinted her eyes, hearing something unusual. “You said at the beginning that there was a problem with the Golden Rope Connection. What problem?”
“The Golden Rope Connection took on an order and killed more than half of one of our ability user teams. And your Golden Rope Connection also suffered heavy losses. The most important thing is that they were wearing black clothes.”
Hearing this, Jin Fengqing clenched her fists in anger and gritted her teeth. “Idiots!”
She rarely showed her emotions like this, unless she really couldn’t help it. The Black Clothes Golden Rope Connection were all old-school assassins. These people could not be moved unless it was a last resort. And many of them were her mother’s friends and comrades-in-arms. Basically, as long as the Black Clothes Golden Rope was dispatched, it meant that the family head would also be dispatched, which meant that this operation was very dangerous.
“Two days later, you send people to escort me back. I will give you an explanation,” she said, jumping off the sofa and walking toward the door. But halfway there, she turned around again, lowered her head, and didn’t know how to speak for a long time.
Xiao Huan was also puzzled, but she did not interrupt.
Jin Fengqing hesitated for a long time, but in the end, she spoke. She asked softly, “The person who saved me, is she really clean?”
Xiao Huan paused for a moment, then nodded. “You can also find out when you return to the Jin family. Her name is Zhang Can’er. She is an ordinary villager from Phantom Star Village. She has reached her current position because of her powerful skills. And you should have heard of the one beside her. Her previous code name was Phoenix, and her name is Wan Feng.”
Jin Fengqing lowered her head in thought for a moment, nodded, and then turned and went out.
When she returned to her residence, she wanted to talk to Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng, but the news she got was that the two of them had left.
Afterward, she went around to inquire and, with some effort, found the original residence of these two.
Ke Yajun and Zhuang Jiayuan would usually guard the door of Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng when they had nothing to do, to prevent anyone from causing trouble.
When they saw three small figures walking quickly toward them, the two of them were a little strange. Where did these children come from?
But when they saw them clearly, they remembered. Wasn’t this the little girl they were supposed to save?
Jin Fengqing looked at these two. She still had some impression of them. First, she bowed to them. The two little subordinates behind her also bowed.
“Thank you for saving us on the island. If you need any help in the future, you two can come and find me.”
Ke Yajun and Zhuang Jiayuan were a little dazed, but fortunately, they were not stupid. They knew that these few people had come to thank them. Their minds had not yet turned, but their bodies had already begun to act. They quickly helped them up.
“Your thanks are a bit too grand. Besides, it wasn’t me who really saved you. We can only accept verbal thanks. Let’s forget about the bowing.”
Ke Yajun looked at Jin Fengqing with a loving expression. She felt that this child was very cute. She didn’t know whose family she was from, to have raised such a polite child.
Jin Fengqing was made uncomfortable by her gaze. Just as she was thinking of a reason to see Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng, these two happened to come out of the house.
Zhang Can’er looked at the familiar figure and walked over with a grin. “How did you find this place? Didn’t you go to find Xiao Huan? Does she still want me to be responsible for your daily life?”
Jin Fengqing took a step forward and bowed again seriously. “I was too on guard before. I’m here to thank you now. And, my name is Jin Fengqing.”
Zhang Can’er blinked her eyes. She thought that Xiao Huan must have said something to make this child change so much. The guard in her eyes had completely disappeared.
She chuckled softly, squatted down, and deliberately did not help her up. She tilted her head to look at her downward-facing face. “Aren’t you going to ask me what my purpose is?”
