Spirit Star River, where the allied forces were gathered.
A Teleportation Formation appeared, and the seven of them walked out one after another. When they appeared in the Jiang Clan, they immediately attracted the gazes of the surrounding people.
It was Ning Ji, Jiang Xiao, and the others.
When Jiang Huai, the head of the Jiang Clan, saw that the seven of them had returned, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Although there were four powerful guards protecting them, as long as it was a war, there would be many variables. Therefore, when he saw that his daughter and son-in-law had returned safely, he was finally relieved. However, Jiang Huai immediately noticed that their expressions weren't looking too good, so he immediately asked.
The guards of the Jiang Clan naturally wouldn't hide anything from the Clan Master and told him what had just happened. When Jiang Huai heard that the two of them had self-destructed, his heart trembled. Even though he already knew that she was fine, he was still shocked. He didn't think that the one who saved his daughter would be Chu Xing. He immediately looked at Chu Xing.
If Chu Xing hadn't sacrificed his daughter's spiritual consciousness, he would have definitely rewarded Chu Xing. However, Chu Xing had already sacrificed his Divine Sense to his daughter. Rewarding Chu Xing was like rewarding his daughter. There wasn't much meaning to it. There was no need to reward or praise him.
Even Jiang Huai was very scared. If something really happened, it would affect too many things. Not only would it affect the relationship between the Jiang and Ning families, but if something happened to Ning Ji, the two families would become enemies. He would never allow such a thing to happen. Although the two of them could not stop participating in the battle, he could choose what they wanted to do. He immediately said, "The two of you will not kill the enemy. Carry out the mission of destroying the stars like everyone else. Once you encounter an enemy, retreat immediately. Don't fight them head-on. "
The four guards heaved a sigh of relief. Ning Ji didn't want Jiang Xiao to be in danger again, so he immediately said, "Yes, thank you, father-in-law!"
Jiang Huai nodded. He didn't let the seven of them head to the battlefield immediately. Instead, he let his daughter and Ning Ji calm down. After all, this was the first time the two of them had gone to the battlefield, so they needed some time to get used to it.
Thus, Ning Ji and Jiang Xiao walked to the side to rest. The four guards didn't follow, and neither did Chu Xing.
The two of them sat on the ground. Ning Ji knew that he should not say anything right now. Instead, he wanted Jiang Xiaojing to calm down. Jiang Xiao was indeed very scared, but she wasn't an ordinary person after all. It didn't take long for her to calm down. She raised her head and glanced at Ning Ji before looking in the direction of the Jiang family.
Ning Ji thought that Jiang Xiao was looking at Jiang Shi and thinking about something. However, Jiang Xiao wasn't looking at the entire Jiang Clan. She was looking at a single person in the Jiang Clan.
A person who stood in the crowd without saying a word.
Chu Xing.
Only she knew that Chu Xing had not truly sacrificed his Divine Sense to her. All of this was merely a lie. She knew that if she died, all of Chu Xing's plans would be for naught. But no matter why Chu Xing did it, he did save her life.
Furthermore … Chu Xing placed great importance on revenge and had always looked down on her. The first condition for revenge was that he was still alive, so Chu Xing shouldn't risk his life to save her. Instead, he should immediately hide far away, ensure his own life, and directly leave the battlefield. Only by keeping his life would he have the possibility of revenge. She was just a pawn on the road to revenge.
Therefore, Jiang Xiao was very surprised that Chu Xing risked his life to save her. This scene made her feel that … Chu Xing did not underestimate her. On the contrary, this man cared about her very much.
What on earth was this man thinking? If he really cared about her so much, why didn't he show it?
Jiang Xiao's mind was in a mess. She knew that if she continued to sit there, she would not have the chance to get an answer. Therefore, she quickly said to Ning Ji, "Let's continue."
"Ah?" Ning Ji was stunned and quickly said, "So fast? Have you rested well? "
"I've rested well." Jiang Xiao stood up and said, "Everyone is rushing to the battlefield. We are clearly not injured yet we continue to sit here. If others see this, it will cause criticism and dissatisfaction."
Hearing Jiang Xiao's words, Ning Ji was stunned again. He immediately sighed with emotion at Jiang Xiao's ability to see the big picture. He nodded and said, "Alright! Anyway, the next task is purely to destroy the mission. We can destroy slower and go to other stars to rest! "
Jiang Xiao nodded lightly. The two of them returned to the Jiang clan and immediately left with the four guards … and Chu Xing.

Heavenly Star River, a star with life.
A transportation array suddenly appeared on the ground. The scenery here was completely different from the previous star. Currently, this star was in the middle of the day. The sky was very bright and clear. There were no clouds in the sky. The location of the transportation array was a clean and beautiful grassland. There was no end in sight. The imperial capital of this star was located in the northwest direction. It was not too far from here.
Normally, the seven of them should move together. However, at this moment, Ning Ji immediately opened his mouth and said to Jiang Xiao, "You rest here. We will move out."
As he spoke, Ning Ji said to the two guards of the Jiang clan, "You two stay here and protect her."
"Yes!" The two Jiang clan people immediately replied.
However, before they finished speaking, Jiang Xiao suddenly spoke and said, "No need. I will rest here by myself. The six of you go and carry out the mission. There is no one else here. There is no danger. I will stay here by myself. "
"How can that be?" Ning Ji immediately refused. However, he knew that if he did not back down, his wife would definitely not agree. He said, "At least let these two Jiang clan people stay here to protect you!"
"No need." Jiang Xiao lightly shook her head. She looked at the worried Ning Ji and said, "If you are worried, let him stay here to protect me."
The 'him' that Jiang Xiao was referring to was naturally Chu Xing.
Ning Ji was stunned and immediately turned to look at Chu Xing. Indeed, Chu Xing was able to protect Jiang Xiao during the previous crisis. This meant that this person's loyalty and sensitivity were not a problem. However, leaving only one person … he was still very worried.
"Don't delay the mission." Just as Ning Ji was about to say something, Jiang Xiao spoke again, "Go quickly."
"Okay!" Ning Ji knew that he could not dissuade his wife. He said, "You rest well here. We will go quickly and return quickly!"
Then, Ning Ji turned to look at Chu Xing and said, "You must protect her safety!"
Chu Xing heard this and looked at Ning Ji, but said nothing. However, no one was surprised by this scene. Chu Xing only listened to Jiang Xiao and would not listen to anyone else's orders unless Jiang Xiao gave the signal.
Soon, Ning Ji quickly left with the four guards. Chu Xing watched the four leave. After the four figures disappeared from his sight, he turned to look at Jiang Xiao.
Jiang Xiao was also looking at him. She bit her lower lip slightly and said, "Thank you."
It was not that Chu Xing had never seen Jiang Xiao bite her lower lip. Previously, when she was tempting him, she often did this. However, the same action would have a completely different meaning under different circumstances. At this moment, Jiang Xiao was truly grateful to him. However … there were other feelings in her gratitude.
These feelings were feelings that should not exist.
If Jiang Xiao's temptation to him before was because she was competitive, now her eyes had become sincere. This made Chu Xing frown. He said, "I saved you only for revenge. Don't misunderstand."
Jiang Xiao's delicate body trembled. She looked at Chu Xing in shock. She did not expect that her sincere gratitude would be in exchange for such a sentence.
Moreover … Chu Xing's tone was very cold, without a trace of emotion.
"You …" Jiang Xiao was completely stunned. She did not know what to say and could only look at Chu Xing.
"What I meant was that you should not think too much. If you want to thank me, then help me get more information." Chu Xing said indifferently, "Don't turn my kindness for saving you into other feelings. These feelings are very fake. You are lying to yourself. Kindness is kindness, not other feelings. Do you understand? "
"…"
Jiang Xiao stared blankly at Chu Xing. She never thought that this man would be so ruthless.
She admitted that after Chu Xing saved her, she was really moved by this man. Since young, she had never really been moved by any man. Chu Xing was the first.
Seeing that Jiang Xiao did not speak, Chu Xing continued, "Remember, you are Ning Ji's wife. The person you love should be Ning Ji. As for our relationship, it is only a cooperative relationship. Other relationships will only affect our cooperation. "
"…"
Jiang Xiao still did not say a word. She only looked at Chu Xing. Tears actually appeared in her eyes.
Seeing this scene, Chu Xing frowned even more. He knew that things had taken a turn for the worse.
