Elder brother's garrison

Page 2381

"Sister Lian, Sister Ling, are you leaving Chapter Eight tomorrow?" Xiao Bai asked.

“Yes…” Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling looked at Xiaobai with some reluctance and said, “We’ve already finished Chapter 8-4, and the event is over. It’s time to go back to life! We’ll go back and pack our things today, and leave tomorrow.”

"I see..." Xiaobai nodded with a hint of regret, then looked at Haoding, "Is Admiral Haoding also one?"

"Yes, I'll probably be leaving with Admiral Zhao Kuo," Admiral Haoding said, giving a thumbs up. "Our garrison recently received a commission—an escort mission for the new governor—and the reward is very generous!"

"I...I'm leaving too, but I'll be leaving this afternoon," Admiral Li Hua quickly said at this moment.

"Huh? Li Hua, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Uh... um... yes..." Li Hua lowered his head, his hands trembling as he held the teacup, not daring to look up and meet Xiao Bai's gaze.

After the dinner ended, the atmosphere among everyone was filled with the sadness of parting.

Xiao Bai turned her head to look at Nan Xing.

"Is Sister Nanxing leaving too?"

"Hmm." Nanxing nodded slightly and said to Xiaobai, "There's work at the naval base..."

Admirals are all very busy, let alone the tenth admiral.

If they just keep living off their savings, even the top ten garrison commanders won't be able to keep up.

So we'll all be going our separate ways soon.

In the past decade, although the top ten admirals would occasionally meet in private, there were very few occasions in total when all ten of them got together.

The reason everyone can gather here peacefully now is purely because of the opening of the new main story chapter, plus the blessing of a new round of top ten admiral selection event.

Chapter 3331, Section 8: The Admiral's Guild President

Where there is meeting, there will be parting, but fortunately, the parting is temporary.

As long as people live, and time is long, they will eventually reunite.

After saying their goodbyes, the top ten admirals each got up with their families and left with smiles.

"Admiral Lu Lin, see you another day!"

"Little cutie, come visit my naval base sometime!"

"See you next time."

Bye-bye~

"..."

The top ten admirals didn't leave quickly, but it seemed like in the blink of an eye, Xiaobai was left with only Luo Lian, Nia, and Guild Master Er Gou.

Xiao Bai reached out towards the seat that Nan Xing had touched. The seat still had a faint warmth, but the temperature was rapidly cooling in the wind.

"Sigh." Xiaobai sighed, her feelings complicated.

"Xiaobai, are you leaving here after the event?" Nia looked at Xiaobai with a sad expression.

“Yes, Nia, what about you?” Xiaobai asked Nia in return.

“As for me… I’ll probably stay here.” Nia lowered her head and thought for a while. “The leveling resources here are quite abundant. As for my naval base… well… as you know, Shiro, my naval base has always been in a very safe place.”

High emotional intelligence, safe, relaxing, suitable for retirement.

Low emotional intelligence, remote, barren and desolate.

Nia's garrison is a legacy issue.

Due to certain issues, her naval base was assigned to a rather remote body of water. There were usually no deep-sea risks in that area, so she could simply station some ship girls there to guard it.

“Your previous base did have some issues… Fortunately, after becoming one of the top ten admirals, your base will probably be reasonably relocated if you make a request.” Xiaobai said to Nia with a smile, “But you can stay in Chapter 8 if you want. Don’t forget, I have the help of Super Yamato. Even if I go back to work at the naval base in the future, it will only take a moment for me to come back here.”

"Ah, right..." Upon hearing Xiaobai's words, Nia's gloomy and disappointed expression vanished, and she smiled. "If that's the case, I'm relieved."

After comforting Nia, Xiaobai looked at Luo Lian and President Er Gou.

"Lianlian, what are your plans after this event is over?"

“My naval base is inherited from my teacher. My teacher’s naval base is the Admiral’s Guild in the second chapter, so I can just go back,” Luo Lian said. “There shouldn’t be much change in my life, but my naval base’s training level is a bit low. I might take some time to raise its level so that even without my manual control, it can be on par with the other top ten naval bases. Oh right… speaking of which…”

"Speaking of this?"

"I need to find some time to play more matches with Admiral Haoding and knock him down to second place in the world rankings," Luo Lian said calmly, as if she were talking about how many pancakes she ate for breakfast that day.

"..." Xiaobai smiled.

"Xiao Bai, ask me quickly, ask me quickly!" When President Er Gou saw that Xiao Bai had already asked Nia and Luo Lian, she quickly came over and pointed to herself.

"What are your plans, President Sister?" Xiaobai asked.

"Hmph, I have no plans at all! I'm a completely free man right now!" Guild Master Er Gou put his hands on his hips and smugly hinted to Xiao Bai, "So if someone invites me to the naval base, whether it's for a day or two, a month or two, or even a year or two, I wouldn't mind at all!"

President Er Gou practically had "Xiao Bai, invite me to your house to play" written all over his face.

Xiao Bai covered her mouth and smiled.

"Then, President Sister, would you like to..."

"Stop for a second." Luo Lian held out her hand, making a stop gesture. "Xiao Bai, can I leave the teacher with you?"

"Huh?" Everyone looked at Luo Lian.

"I've only just become one of the top ten admirals, so there might be many things I'm unfamiliar with in managing the naval base. Luckily, my teacher used to be one of the top ten admirals in the world, and I think she can give me a lot of help by my side," Luo Lian said earnestly.

"Oh...that makes sense." Xiaobai nodded, then looked at Guild Leader Ergou regretfully, "Then, Guild Leader, I'm sorry, it seems you'll have to go back to Chapter Two."

"Hiss... Little Lianzi, why, why did you persecute your master?!" Guild Master Er Gou exclaimed in shock.

“I’m serious about where I’m being persecuted.” Luo Lian looked calmly at Guild Master Er Gou. “I really don’t have experience, but this garrison used to be yours, so you have experience.”

"You, you, you need experience?? You did a great job this time!"

"What's so great about it? I haven't even beaten the world's second-best." Luo Lian said seriously, "Having someone help you is always better than taking the long way around."

"...You...you...you..." President Er Gou looked impatient and speechless.

"It's okay, anyway, with Chaodahe around, it'll be easy for us to visit each other no matter where we are in the future," Xiaobai said evasively.

President Er Gou was dejected.

Everyone left their seats, preparing to depart.

Suddenly, a familiar voice called out to everyone.

"Admiral Lu Lin, please wait."

Xiaobai was taken aback. She stopped and looked back, only to see a familiar ship girl standing in the direction of the Admiral's Guild, calling out to her.

Isn't this Miss Yingying's ship girl, Divine Eagle?

She's the ship girl that Xiaobai has always wanted to treat him to a meal.

"Miss Divine Eagle?" Little White stopped in surprise.

"Admiral Lu Lin." Shenying approached the group, bowed to Xiaobai and the others, and then said, "I apologize for the previous statement, but it was not convenient for us to appear during the festival. Is Admiral Lu Lin available now?"

"What's wrong? Did Miss Yingying agree to have dinner with me?" Xiaobai joked.

"..." Shenying pursed her lips and shook her head. "I'm sorry... my admiral is too busy to handle this matter lately. However, Admiral Lu Lin, if you have time, could you come with me to the top floor of the Admiral's Guild? The governors want to see you."

"The governor wants to see me?" Xiaobai pointed to himself.

"Exactly."

“Oh…right.” Xiaobai responded, turning around to look at the three people behind her.

"Xiao Bai, let's head back now," Luo Lian said.

“We’re waiting for you at home!” Nia quickly said.

"Okay." Xiaobai smiled at Luo Lian and Nia.

Luo Lian and Nia waved to Xiao Bai and left.

Shenying watched Luo Lian and Nia's departing figures, her gaze shifting slightly to Guild Master Er Gou.

"What? I'm your governor's aunt, the sister-in-law of the world's number one admiral, the former world's second admiral, the younger sister of the Mu family head, the acting president of the Second Chapter Admiral's Guild, and the mentor of the current world's fifth admiral. You think you can stop me from going in?" Guild Master Er Gou said, hands on his hips. "I'm protecting my Xiao Bai. What if he gets bullied by someone again? Can you take responsibility for that?"

"...I wouldn't dare." The divine eagle bowed slightly.

You know what, among these people, Er Gou's seniority is really high and deep.

Shenying led Xiaobai and Guild Master Ergou into the Admiral's Guild.

Inside the Admiral's Guild, employees were busy moving tables and chairs into the Admiral's Hall, cleaning up the mess left by the Admiral's celebration.

As the divine eagle walked, it bowed its head and spoke to Little White.

"Admiral Lu Lin, please don't be nervous. The governors' meeting with you this time is just a routine chat."

"Ah, I understand, thank you, Miss Divine Eagle." Little White nodded with a smile.

Shenying led the two into the elevator. As the elevator ascended, the doors opened, and Xiaobai and Guild Master Ergou arrived at the top floor of the Admiral Guild.

Inside the top floor of the Admiral's Guild, the interior environment remained exceptionally quiet and clean.

When Xiaobai entered the top-floor lobby, she saw Lin Qing pouring tea on the sofa at the very front, while Mu Yu sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, resting.

"Governor, Admiral Lu Lin has arrived," Shenying called out.

Ringo put down the teapot and looked at everyone.

When she saw President Er Gou, Ringo's gaze lifted slightly.

"Hmph, little white sister, you've finally arrived..." Mu Yu hummed and hawed. He slowly opened his eyes, looking at Xiao Bai with an air of pretense. Just as he was about to speak, his gaze met that of Guild Master Er Gou, and his eyes widened instantly. "Huh? Auntie?? What brings you here??"

"You little rascal, you've picked up that official air after just a few days." Chairman Er Gou crossed his arms, sat on the back of the sofa, and looked at Mu Yu with a smirk. "Come on, keep going, let your auntie see how awesome you are now, isn't that better than when you were changing diapers?"

"Cough cough cough cough..." Mu Yu immediately lost his composure, and he laughed awkwardly, quickly getting up. "Hey, Auntie, that's not right. How could I dare to do that in front of you..."

"Tea, please."

Ringo picked up the teacup and handed it to President Er Gou with both hands.

President Er Gou took the teacup with one hand, bowed his head and smiled at Ringo.

"Kobayashi, you really know how to handle things."

"..." Ringo lowered her head slightly, her face blushing.

"President, you know Sister Ringo too?" Xiaobai asked, looking at President Ergou.

"Sister? Huh? You mean Ringo?" President Er Gou was taken aback and looked at Xiao Bai.

“Yes,” Xiaobai said.

"..." Er Gou, the guild leader, twitched her eyebrows. She looked down at Lin Qing, who was blushing, and then, as if she understood something, she smiled at Xiao Bai and said, "Haha, yes, she's an old friend too."

President Er Gou took a sip of tea.

Xiao Bai sat in the seat that Lin Qing and Mu Yu had reserved for her.

This spot offers a perfect view of Ringo and Mu Yu, as well as the transparent window behind them, providing a panoramic view of the entire eighth chapter. The scenery is beautiful.

Mu Yu wiped the sweat from her brow and sat back down in her seat.

"Auntie, what brings you here?" Mu Yu said with a smile.

"I'm just here to have some fun, what, you're not happy about it?"

"No, no, please do as you please," Mu Yu quickly replied.

President Er Gou then plopped down next to Xiao Bai, crossed his legs, and looked at everyone present with a smile.

"So what did you call me here for?" Xiaobai asked curiously.

"Hey, little Bai, isn't the eighth chapter almost over...?" Mu Yu said apologetically, "Now that we've finished what we did here, Lin Qing and I should probably head back."

"Huh? Go back?" Xiaobai asked in surprise. "Aren't you the guild leaders from Chapter 8?"

"Who said that? We never said that from beginning to end. We're just temporary, and we can't stay here forever," Mu Yu said. "The guild leader for Chapter 8 hasn't been appointed yet, not even yesterday."

"Oh..." Xiaobai nodded, looking at Ringo with regret, "I see. It seems that Ringo-neechan is leaving too."

"Little White Sister, is it just my imagination? I felt like you weren't even looking at me just now."

"illusion."

"Really..." Mu Yu drawled, but when he looked at Xiao Bai, he smiled helplessly. "Oh well, let's get down to business."
