Chapter 1154: Chapter 105: A Fox Can’t Change Its Ways (Double-Length)

“So, you’re telling me you were in such a hurry to call me over just to drink flower wine with you guys?”

Xia Yubing looked expressionlessly at the two big fools in front of her who almost drank themselves into being oirans.

Shen Qingxi and Li Mumu, when separated, are both great at causing mischief, behaving like human-shaped Great Evil Spirits who love creating drama at a funeral.

When the two come together, their damage and destructiveness multiply exponentially.

The reason they haven’t made any big news yet is simply that they both have their own things to do.

One is busy with her career; the other is busy with her love life.

Neither of these needed Xia Yubing’s help, so there was only one reason to call her over — they’ve stirred up some colossal trouble.

After sending everyone else away, Li Mumu pulled out a Red String to bind the doorway, creating an independent barrier within the room that isolates sound transmission.

“Sister Bingbing, I want to ask you a question. I hope you can answer honestly.”

Li Mumu raised her hand to dismiss the smell of wine from herself, and said seriously, “You have never directly admitted that you’re from Daylily Academy. I don’t know what your unspeakable difficulties are, nor do I wish to make it hard for you.”

Xia Yubing calmly replied, “Since you’ve put it that way, you probably already guessed it seven or eight out of ten, right?”

“Guessing is guessing, but I still want to hear it from you directly.”

Xia Yubing glanced at Shen Qingxi, who was squinting and seemingly lost in thought.

“If I don’t say anything, are you two going to fight with me today?”

“No, no!”

Shen Qingxi quickly waved her hands, “Absolutely not, we are loyal to Officer Xia! Officer Xia is our great elder sister, the eternal sun in our hearts!”

“Then why the sudden interest in talking about this? Did you ponder life philosophies while grinding tofu until you bled?”

Xia Yubing’s tone turned rare venomous.

“Answer the question first.”

Li Mumu didn’t joke around like Shen Qingxi.

“The answer can be yes or no, and I’m not particularly concerned about it. I just need your answer to decide whether to discuss the real issue with you.”

“What’s the real issue you’re referring to?”

“Daylily Academy.”

Xia Yubing was silent for a moment, then spoke, “I haven’t intended to hide it, and with both of your intelligence, you should have guessed it already. Yes, I am the group leader of the Signal Flag Plan.”

Li Mumu and Shen Qingxi showed no reaction.

This was already expected.

“Back then, after both of you sacrificed yourselves, I applied with your soul data to join the Signal Flag Plan. As the group leader, I had a higher level of authority than you two, responsible for awakening the Signal Flag group when that time comes.”

The playful expression on Shen Qingxi’s face instantly disappeared.

This answer was also expected.

There’s a saying: ‘Add no entity unless necessary’.

The trio was deployed to past timeline nodes as part of the United Ark Doomsday Plan; when the apocalypse arrives, they will ignite the Signal Flag to guide the Ark.

The Signal Flag is just a tool and doesn’t need to know its specific task.

After all, living life over again with different experiences means no one can guarantee their values are as steadfast as in their past life.

By that time, someone will naturally press the button to let the tool perform its function.

So, is a designated button keeper still needed?

Clearly not.

In other words, within the Signal Flag trio, there would definitely be a leader in charge of the awakening process.

Li Mumu certainly wasn’t the leader. Would you trust such an important task to a woman who does nothing all day but tends to her love affairs?

Shen Qingxi knew she wasn’t the leader either, as she wouldn’t even want to press that button, let alone execute anything to do with the Signal Flag Plan.

Thus, the answer was quite obvious.

And Xia Yubing’s reluctance to discuss this matter in the past was also self-explanatory.

“You’re free to mess around; anyway, after the Signal Flag is activated, the data will be formatted, leaving only the base processing system. As the executor, I have no use nor interest in accumulating such trivial emotional ties at this timeline.”

Family, friendship, love…

These bonds of emotion are meaningless to someone who knows they will cross timelines once more.

Shen Qingxi carefully asked, “What if you were to die? I mean, absolutely obliterated, beyond any chance of rescue.”

Xia Yubing glanced at her, “That’s unknown; you’re welcome to give it a try.”

“Ahahaha… What are you saying, Sister Bingbing? I was just hypothesizing.”

Shen Qingxi laughed awkwardly, scratching her head.

Xia Yubing no longer paid attention to her antics, turning to Li Mumu, “I’ve answered your question, now let’s discuss the real business — what’s up with Daylily?”

“I’ve been here for the past couple of days conducting an inspection and survey…”

“Inspection and survey hahaha oops——”

She casually tossed a cup at Shen Qingxi’s face to quiet her down, before continuing seriously, “It reminded me of something. Do you remember when Daylily Academy was founded?”

“I don’t remember.”

Xia Yubing shook her head, “But it should be between the 1990s and the millennium. I don’t remember the specific date; there was a major massacre and terrorism incident in Southeast Asia back then. The Black Dragon Princess emerged, wielding a bow made from Yamata’s bones and using Hydra’s tendons for the string, and annihilated a nation with a single arrow. Only then was Daylily established.”

Li Mumu frowned, “I think Daylily had some predecessor or something, right?”
