"what?"
Irelia looked confused.
She didn't understand what Karma's complicated expression meant, and she didn't notice that Chen Ce next to her showed a slightly uneasy look.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
Because Karma had already led the three people to the edge of the tent.
Irelia recognized two of them at once - the "vixen" Ahri she had met in Presidence, and the "little deer girl" Lilia whom Chen Ce had introduced in his letter.
As for the third person...
Also a woman...
To be precise, she is a very beautiful white-haired girl...
Chen Ce mentioned in his letter before that it was the four of them who solved the crisis on Ferrol Island. Three of them were familiar faces, so wasn’t the so-called "super strong"...
No wonder Chen Ce never mentioned this person’s specific information in his letter before, and he didn’t even explain his gender. So that’s it…
I thought he forgot to mention it or thought these things were not important...
The smile on Irelia's face suddenly froze, but did not disappear—it became very fake and professional.
No matter how much doubts she had in her heart, she could not neglect the man who had conquered Ferol Island because of her speculations.
She extended her right hand to the white-haired girl, "Nice to meet you, I'm Irelia."
The latter—naturally, Syndra, had no expression on his face, and was as cold as an ice sculpture.
She didn't even extend her hand, let alone shake hands with him.
She only remained in a floating state, looking condescendingly at the pure Ionian in front of her - not only an Ionian, but also the leader of the Ionians.
She was unwilling or disdainful to tell the other party her name, and only said a few words coldly:
"I am Chen Ce's master."
The temporary conference room "renovated" from a tent cannot be said to be crowded, but it is definitely not spacious. Six people sit around a desk, and the distance between the five chairs is less than fifty centimeters. There is a strange atmosphere in the air. .
Of course, the one who wants to kill the most is Irelia.
She looked at Karma who seemed to be snickering, and her mind kept flashing back to their previous bet - Chen Ce must have brought back some weird "concubine", at most he would have brought Ari.
But now it seems...
Miss Lilia probably doesn't count, but Syndra definitely counts...
Irelia wanted to strangle Chen Ce to death, but she couldn't break up right now - Syndra was of great significance to the resistance.
It was she who single-handedly captured Ferol Island, and yesterday morning she easily defeated the Noxian army composed of three legions. Her strength and military exploits were enough to crush all individual units.
To be honest, it would be natural to award her with a "Hero of Ionia" award on the spot.
But she just... why did she just...
Are you not clear with Chen Ce?
Forget about Ah Li, why is there another one? ? ?
The quill in Irelia's hand was broken by her at some point.
To be honest, if she had discovered Syndra, she would definitely treat her as a guest and offer her the highest respect and courtesy, but the reality is...
It's not that she resents Syndra for this now - even if the other party acted arrogantly towards her and spoke rudely to her just now, she won't be stingy and resentful towards him for this.
It's just that... I feel a little knotty in my heart.
Of course, the one she wanted to strangle most now was Chen Ce—and only Chen Ce.
Syndra is the hero of the resistance and even the entire Ionia. As the leader of the resistance, she will naturally not show any hostility towards Syndra because of personal emotional issues - that would be too naive.
Business is the most basic thing.
But Chen Ce... Haha, the days are long.
Private matters have their own way of dealing with them.
"Now, I want to clarify a few things first."
Irelia took a deep breath, broke the awkward silence in the conference room with a serious tone, and stared at Chen Ce with her beautiful eyes.
The latter felt like sitting on pins and needles immediately.
But fortunately, Irelia's next words were not directed at him: "Don't worry, I won't interfere with your personal affairs for the time being. I just want to know one question now - you clearly stated in your letter that you planned to fight with the resistance." The army outflanked the Noxian army, why did it suddenly come back?"
"This is because I have other plans." Chen Ce also became serious, "But it's not because the plan has changed - I planned to come back quietly from the beginning, and the double-teaming mentioned in the letter was just to deceive others."
"So the double-teaming plan has been cancelled?"
"No, the encirclement plan remains as usual - when the time is right, I will secretly go behind the Noxian army with Syndra."
"Are you confident that you won't be discovered by Noxian scouts?"
"Syndra can take me around from the sky."
"...Okay." Irelia glanced at the silver-haired girl who seemed to be sitting on a chair, but was actually floating at a certain height, and felt amazed in her heart.
After a while, she asked Chen Ce another key question: "So why did you 'come back quietly'?"
"Of course it's for our original purpose." Chen Ce adjusted his sitting posture slightly and moved his eyes from the other party to outside the conference room.
"We have reached the most critical moment. I think the traitor will soon be unable to sit still."
Hearing this, Irelia nodded thoughtfully, and Syndra on the side also remembered what Chen Ce asked her to "try to keep it in check" yesterday.
"Then what plans or plans do you have now?" Irelia asked again.
"We'll wait and see what happens." Chen Ce replied, "Now I just need to reveal the news that I have returned to a few high-ranking members of the resistance. Everyone else will keep it a secret - and ask those high-ranking officials to keep it a secret."
"I understand."
Irelia nodded, took out a new quill from the drawer and wrote a few secret letters.
Then Karma left with the secret message.
This brief meeting is over here.
Irelia looked at the position of the sun outside the tent, and then at the three girls inside the tent. A gentle smile gradually appeared on her face:
"You guys are tired from the long journey, why don't you go down and rest first?"
At nightfall, Irelia returned to her room after getting rid of her fatigue.
And there is another person in this small temporary wooden house - Chen Ce.
The former was leaning on the back of the chair with his eyes closed, and there was an indescribable coldness on his expressionless face; the latter was sitting submissively in the corner of the room, with traces of cold sweat on his forehead and back.
Neither of them spoke, and the solemnity in the air almost solidified.
Such a terrifying atmosphere lasted for more than ten minutes.
Finally, Chen Ce couldn't resist the pressure and spoke: "Well... several senior executives said they wanted to meet me... How about I go and talk to them first...?"
No answer.
After nearly half a minute of dead silence, the girl closed her eyes and said coldly: "If it was something related to intelligence, they would have had someone come over and take you there."
"It's nice to chat..., isn't it...?"
"Why, you would rather chat with them than with me?" Irelia finally opened her eyes, but the look she looked at her was filled with murderous intent.
"It seems that all the thoughts you said in your letter before are false. The only thing you are thinking about is your Ahri and Syndra, right?"
"I'm not...I didn't...don't talk nonsense..." Chen Ce swallowed nervously.
"Haha." Irelia smiled coldly and gradually closed her beautiful eyes. "Those senior executives want to see you. I will arrange a secret meeting for you tomorrow. Not only will there be more people, but the confidentiality will be higher."
"That would be great..."
"Tonight, just stay here honestly."
"It's my pleasure……"
The two were silent again.
After nearly half an hour, Irelia stood up and walked to the bathroom on her own - she did not avoid Chen Ce, nor did she deliberately hint anything to Chen Ce, as if this person did not exist at all.
Soon, the sound of water flowing sounded, but at this time, Chen Ce had no evil intentions - he just wanted to escape from here as soon as possible.
It's a pity that Irelia didn't give him this chance.
When the sound of water flow gradually stopped, the girl who took off her armor and was only wrapped in a pure white bath towel walked out barefoot.
At this time, she neither combed her hair nor had any weapons. She looked completely unrelated to the title of "resistance leader" and looked more like an ordinary weak girl.
She wiped the water droplets from her long hair for a while, and then lay straight on the bed.
The tight bath towel wrapped her well, and the parts that shouldn't be exposed were not exposed at all. Only a pair of long snow-white legs stained with some water drops were gently swaying on the edge of the bed.
But even so, the perfect body curve is still clearly visible - or it may be that it is precisely because of the tightness of the bath towel that these alluring curves are perfectly outlined.
Chen Ce was a little afraid that the other party would dig out his eyes, so he didn't dare to look at them, so he meditated silently in the corner of the room.
But before he could finish reciting the first verse, the girl's cold voice penetrated into his ears:
"come over."
"..." The meditation was interrupted, and Chen Ce stepped forward cautiously, fearing that a few blade fragments would suddenly fly out from under the bed or somewhere else.
Fortunately, Irelia's "want to strangle him" only stayed at the level of "thinking".
"Hurry up," she urged coldly.
Chen Ce carefully leaned against the bed.
The girl continued: "If you are tired, turn off the lights and go to bed. If you are not, just give me a massage."
"I'm not tired, I'm not tired..." Chen Ce waved his hands repeatedly, seemingly timidly, but it was indeed the truth - during the past few days, he spent nearly half of the time riding Lilia or having Syndra use magic power. You won’t be tired at all when you fly with it.
"Then please give me a massage." Irelia continued to lie prone, supporting her chin with both hands. "I've been a little tired lately."
"Well... thank you for your hard work." Chen Ce gradually became less "fearful" and was replaced by a feeling of guilt - the other party really paid a lot for Ionia.
He gently lifted up the pure white bath towel, and the girl's even whiter back was exposed to his sight.
But at this moment, the other party suddenly turned over nervously.
"Forget it, let's go to sleep..." Irelia's expression suddenly became unnatural.
Chen Ce frowned slightly - he just saw something strange in the white snow that passed by.
"let me see……"
"No... let's go to sleep..." Irelia shook her head, but it wasn't because she was shy that she refused.
"Look." Chen Ce became determined.
"It's really nothing..."
"There's no need to hide it."
"As a warrior, this is normal... Stop looking, okay?" There was a hint of begging in Irelia's tone, "Let's go to bed, Chen Ce..."
But now, how could Chen Ce agree?
He held the opponent's little hand forcefully, and then used his other hand to turn the girl around.
The bath towel that had been unfolded just now slid off naturally, and the snow-white back was exposed to the air again.
There...are many shocking scars on it.
Although it has basically healed, you can still see how terrible the injuries were from the shallow marks - horizontal sword marks, knife wounds and even wounds caused by arrows intertwined together, like a black butterfly tattoo. Climbing up this white back that should have been delicately maintained.
"I said...don't look..." Irelia hurriedly put the towel back on her face, but some of the scars between her shoulder blades were still exposed. "It's ugly...don't look at it anymore..."
"..." Chen Ce was silent, feeling a sting in his heart.
And the way the girl was covering her wounds in a panic made him even more heartbroken.
He gently held the girl's hand holding the towel and hugged her tightly.
"I'm sorry...I won't let you get hurt again...ever."
