"Rank Eight, huh?" Yelai mused, stroking his chin. The gap between ranks was an insurmountable chasm. Despite believing that with the level of Fear in Sequence, he could contend with Rank Seven using his Rank Six, he knew Li Yanlin was not just Rank Seven; she was Rank Eight.
Given his current strength, it was indeed a tricky situation. Just then, a voice came through on his phone.
"Honey, you can't handle her at Rank Six. Let me take care of this. Besides, you've heard from Zhong Zhi about the Li Family's influence."
In truth, Zhong Zhi didn't know enough; the Li Family was far more powerful than anyone imagined. They were the rising stars of the Numbered Protection Zone, and their current scale could not be described as merely emerging. They had become a colossal entity within the Numbered Protection Zone, and even the other three major families dared not provoke them lightly; they were even somewhat fearful.
Now, within the upper circles of the Numbered Protection Zone, it was almost an unspoken agreement that the Li Family was at the top of the Four Great Families.
"I think you should hold off for now. Let me continue investigating the Li Family while you focus on improving your rank. At least aim for Rank Eight, okay?"
Hearing Luo Zhenxue refer to him as "honey" made Yelai feel a familiar warmth. This was her usual way of being affectionate; every time she wanted something, she would use that term. No boy could resist when his girlfriend called him "honey," and Yelai was no exception. He found himself easily swayed by her charm.
"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you. I'll aim for Rank Eight first."
With Li Yanlin at Rank Eight and the immense power of the Li Family combined with Luo Zhenxue's coaxing, Yelai had no reason to refuse her request.
"Mm-hmm," Luo Zhenxue replied with a sweet smile that could melt even the coldest mountains.
The two of them chatted on the phone for over an hour.
If it weren't for Xianya reminding them that it was getting late, Yelai and Luo Zhenxue would have continued their long phone call.
As the call ended, a group of girls erupted in excitement.
"Come on, Xianya, give us a kiss! Mwah mwah mwah!"
Yezi placed her hands on Xianya's shoulders, pouting playfully as she leaned in for a kiss.
Xianya laughed and playfully swatted at Yezi. The other team members joined in the fun.
"My adorable and charming husband!"
"Oh, stop it! Why are you being so cheesy?"
"My precious wife, I can't take it anymore! Come here and let me hug you. I miss you, love you, hug you!"
They each took turns sharing their own sweet lines, interspersed with snippets of Yelai and Luo Zhenxue's conversation.
Luo Zhenxue felt her cheeks flush. In the past, she would have scolded them for such antics, but today she was in a good mood and found herself at a loss for words as her teammates saw a different side of her.
"Alright, enough teasing. What's the big deal about chatting with my boyfriend?" Luo Zhenxue straightened her expression and waved her hand dismissively. "You all need to be serious."
Xianya, who was usually composed, chuckled softly before agreeing, signaling to the others to stop the teasing.
Once the scene settled down, Luo Zhenxue regained her usual demeanor.
"Xianya, tomorrow you go pick up Yelai and arrange a place for him to stay."
There was no need to hide Yelai's whereabouts; with the Li Family's capabilities, they would know as soon as Yelai entered the Numbered Protection Zone. Rather than conceal him, it would be better to be open about it—let everyone know that my boyfriend is coming to the Numbered Protection Zone; it would be harder for the Li Family to do anything harmful if everyone was aware.
Xianya nodded lightly in agreement.
She pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Let's settle Yelai in our neighborhood. This area is under the jurisdiction of the Aster Family, and they have a poor relationship with the Li Family, which can help us guard against them."
Luo Zhenxue nodded in agreement. Just as she was about to continue giving some instructions, she noticed Xianya hesitating to speak.
