Usually when an argument broke out between team members, their respective leaders would step out to mediate the situation. This time was no exception.
That was why Yun Jian had only watched from the side without chipping in.
After Yu Fengcheng spoke to Liu Shiyun, leader of Team Monarch, on behalf of Champ Squad, it signaled the end of the quarrel.
Even when Yu Fengcheng was unhappy with Team Monarch like Shao Weiming was, he would only criticize them indirectly. He was not going to tear down Chu Xiangnan with an explosive temper like Shao Weiming did.
In addition to Yu Fengcheng’s tone, the situation was dissolved.
When Shao Weiming sat back down in his seat with a huff, Chu Ning ran over to grab Chu Xiangnan who was still fuming to head for the upper level of the double-decker bus, possibly separating him from Shao Weiming who was on the base level.
While she walked toward the upper deck, Chu Ning called out for Yun Jian. “Yun Jian’er, come on too!”
“Mm.” Yun Jian nodded and trailed after them.
As Yun Jian was heading up, she could hear Shao Weiming’s taunt. “Hah, look at how scrawny Team Monarch is. I’m not trying to put them down but they must’ve lucked out in the last mission to finish it so smoothly. Tsk, these newbies, they’re horrible…”
His voice faded out as Yun Jian was already back on the upper deck of the bus.
“I’m about to explode!” Chu Xiangnan said before he even sat down.
“What happened? I was enjoying the scenery outside and you guys got into a dispute!” Chu Ning asked him with a frown.
Yun Jian sat down on a vacant seat, just behind Chu Xiangnan and Chu Ning.
“I was blowing horns with Hong Nerd about how marvelous we Team Monarch are just now. I’m boasting about ourselves, it’s not like I was in anyone’s way!”
“Then that dude got offended. It’s fine that he scolded me. He called Team Monarch green! Said we completed our mission back then due to sheer luck! Isn’t it infuriating!”
Chu Xiangnan rambled. He was feeling complicated. It was visible from his expression that he was really furious.
“Okay, okay. Calm down. We’ll find that antique before them when we arrive in Country A. We’ll clap back at them with our capabilities!” Chu Ning placated Chu Xiangnan instead of bickering with him. Both of them seemed like they were nemeses when they were together, poking fun and jabbing each other usually, but they sided with each other when they actually encountered a real challenge.
Resting her head leisurely against her arms that were propped behind herself, Yun Jian smiled looking at the pair in front of her. There was nothing that concerned her now, so she closed her eyes again for a nap.
The double-decker bus drove from Country Z to Country A without stopping. The scenery outside of the windows changed constantly while Yun Jian took a long break in the vehicle.
When night came, the bus stopped. It was not safe to drive at night and the driver needed rest too.
By the time the troops arrived in Country A, it was already six to seven the next evening.
All of them slept in their bus seats at night, resulting in subpar sleep quality. When they arrived in Country A, they were quick to look for a hotel.
Since Country A spoke neither Mandarin nor English, using their national language, it struck all three squads as they entered the hotel that there would be a language barrier.
For the sake of trying, Yu Fengcheng scanned the members like he was the leader of all and asked, “Who among you know how to speak Country A’s language?”
When his gaze swept across them, he did not spare Yun Jian and team a glance. To his recognition, newbies like Team Monarch did not even have any achievements to start with—how could they know a foreign language?
Just as he was about to give up, a light melodious voice of a girl rang. “I know how to.”
