Chapter 374 What are you talking about?
When faced with a difficult question, they fall silent.
Xie Yungui still faced Jiang Xingni with an innocent smile, trying to use his pretty face to make Jiang Xingni lower his guard.
"I'm watching you," he said sincerely. "This is the path you should take."
Jiang Xingni curled his lip: "There are no paths that should or shouldn't be taken. As long as you can make it through and survive in the end, it's a good path."
If that "Jiang Xingni" really is her, Jiang Xingni could probably guess what Xie Yungui was thinking at this moment, but she didn't think it was a problem.
No one knows her better than herself.
"I'm content to live well now; there's nothing I have to leave behind."
The girl, unburdened by the weight of life and death, possessed a hidden sharpness and confidence in her eyes: "Anyway... every path I take will eventually become a smooth road."
Xie Yungui was speechless. He hadn't expected that if Jiang Xingni had never experienced the pressure of popularity and the fear of dying if he couldn't succeed, he would have become like this.
Confident, composed, and sharp-witted, they firmly believe that every step they take is correct, with nothing to doubt and no thoughts of giving up on themselves.
Xie Yungui looked into her eyes and nodded: "Every path you take will become a smooth road. You should do whatever you want to do."

Song Juexiao finally noticed something was wrong with Xie Yungui's daily absence from school.
She went to the person in charge of the relevant tasks and learned that all of Xie Yungui's recent tasks were near the Capital University. Presumably, he was also nearby. Otherwise, the tasks should have been randomly assigned around the person with the ability.
It wasn't that Song Juexiao looked down on Xie Yungui, but she genuinely wanted to know if Xie Yungui could understand those lessons.
Or is there some secret mission that she needs to handle?
It can't be that Xie Yun is not coming back because someone is currently at the Capital University, just so he can go to and from school with her and have a campus romance.
It's even less likely that Xie Yungui was attracted by a love of learning.
Song Juexiao found it difficult to distinguish between the last two possibilities, and which one was more outrageous.
She hesitated for a moment, then decided not to make an appointment with Xie Yungui, but instead prepared to sneak in quietly.
Xie Yungui didn't tell them directly, which means he doesn't want them to know what he's doing. Even if they asked him directly, he would probably just brush them off.
To be honest, if he were to secretly investigate, Song Juexiao didn't think his actions could be hidden from someone with precognitive abilities.
But the fact that she was able to sense this must have been within Xie Yungui's expectations.
Dealing with precognitive individuals is incredibly frustrating; you know, I know, you know that continuing this nested cycle is pointless.
Instead of trying to figure out what Xie Yungui was thinking, Song Juexiao sneaked into Capital University and searched for Xie Yungui's whereabouts.
Normally, it is very difficult for people from outside the university to get into the university.
Fortunately, Song Juexiao was also a superhuman. She successfully stole several monsters that were causing trouble in the Capital University from the mission leader and used them as her own mission. If Song Juexiao hadn't interfered, these monsters would have been Xie Yunggu's mission. Then, under the pretext of superhumans coming to handle official business, she successfully entered the Capital University.
Although she successfully entered the campus, the Capital University was simply too vast. Finding Xie Yungui's location within it was no easy task, not to mention that Xie Yungui seemed to be intentionally avoiding her.
So nearly a week passed, and apart from turning himself into Xie Yungui's free laborer to handle tasks, Song Juexiao had not seen Xie Yungui at all.
She began to wonder if this was a conspiracy by Xie Yungui to slack off during the mission—but these monsters were generally not high-level. Even if Xie Yungui's ability was essentially just an auxiliary ability without any offensive capabilities, even less so than Jiang Xingni's ability, it didn't mean that Xie Yungui would need to spend a lot of time and energy dealing with these monsters.
For them now, dealing with these C-level and D-level monsters is no different from casually stepping on an ant on the street. However, some ants are quite large, and if they can't be killed by stepping on them, they like to crawl into various crevices on their bodies.
Finally, after Song Juexiao finished a mission, he failed to synchronize back to the mission endpoint. The mission panel showed that the monster had not been killed, so Xie Yungui finally arrived.
He pushed open the door, smiling as he looked at Song Juexiao before him, without a trace of surprise in his expression.
"You still found out." Xie Yungui's face was unusually smiling, and his tone was gentle. "In every cycle, you are the first one to find out, Song Juexiao."
Song Juexiao sneered: "After all... that was what she expected of me before."
While Jiang Xingni was still alive, he acted as a lubricant within the team.
Jiang Xingni never told Song Juexiao that he must take over his responsibilities after he died. Instead, after Jiang Xingni's death, he handed over the two mentally unstable individuals, Lu Ming and Lu Xianqing, to Song Juexiao himself.
Over time, she got used to telling others that this was all Jiang Xingni's expectation of her—as if she was so important to Jiang Xingni.
Xie Yungui hadn't considered how long he could keep this a secret from Song Juexiao.
"Hmm...what a coincidence." Xie Yungui grabbed Jiang Xingni's hand, his tone carrying a hint of boastfulness. "Back then, the person she trusted the most was me."
Jiang Xingni, who was following Xie Yungui, also pushed open the door and looked at Song Juexiao.
For a moment, Song Juexiao felt as if he were dreaming.
She knew she should stay calm.
Since Jiang Xingni has returned, there must be a reason why he didn't come directly to them.
But when Song Juexiao looked at that face, so vivid and lifelike, a face that appeared in reality rather than in a dream, he felt that he could no longer bear it.
She had almost forgotten what Jiang Xingni looked like.
Time is truly cruel. Jiang Xingni was not a person who liked taking photos. If there weren't a few photos that had to be taken, Song Juexiao wouldn't even have anything to remember her by.
"Jiang Xingni...!" She suddenly took a few steps forward, but her strength dissipated halfway. She wanted to get closer, but she was afraid that her rash approach would disturb Jiang Xingni. So in the end, she could only look up at Jiang Xingni.
She said, "I miss you so much."
She said, "I thought you weren't coming back."
She said, "You're back now, why didn't you come to see us?"
Jiang Xingni: ...
Jiang Xingni felt a pang of pity seeing the girl's tears, but was also bewildered by the passionate confession: "Wait? What are you talking about?"
