Chapter 167: Blue Spring's Intelligence
Chapter 167: Blue Spring's Intelligence
"At the age of 16, just like us now, he had just broken through level and formed a crew to go on an expedition. The crew was selected by him and they were all civilians, not military personnel.
Since then, Lanquan seldom returned to land. Even if he did, he would usually stay for a few days to replenish supplies before continuing his expedition. The same was true for the offshore islands of the Blue Sea Empire.
The longest time he had ever spent on land was during the year-end party. At that time, he would definitely stay for a week to spend a happy new year with his parents, and then go back to sea.
Lan Kexin used to complain to me about this, saying that Lan Quan rarely came home. So the information should be true."
Having said this, Chenxi paused and drank a sip of water. Mo Fan stroked his chin, thinking.
"Lanquan formed a crew from the civilian population?"
"That's right. When he was 16, he did not choose to study in the academy, but went to various places in the Blue Sea Empire for training. After experiencing several events, some of these people were chosen by him, while others followed him voluntarily and were eventually recognized by him."
"So he's always at sea and rarely interacts with people?"
What Mo Fan actually wanted to ask was whether Lan Quan was a smart person, the kind that couldn't even tell when someone was lying.
"Well, intelligence shows that Lan Quan is a carefree person. He is not good at speaking, but he is loyal and righteous. Whether before or after going out to sea, there is no record of Lan Quan going back on his word. Of course, it is also possible that the traces have been erased.
However, records show that when Blue Spring and its crew went off the ship to buy supplies, they usually turned to the royal family for help. This is because they had been cheated in the early days. But even if they were cheated, they would just curse a few words and then go to a tavern to drink for a night and that would be fine. "
Mo Fan did not say anything. To be honest, Mo Fan did not really believe in intelligence. He could only use it as a reference. After all, the intelligence in TV shows and movies in his previous life was often inaccurate. Although Mo Fan knew that it was to advance the plot, what if it was also to advance the plot now?
Chenxi did not disturb Mo Fan, but looked at him quietly on the bed.
The two of them were quiet for a while, and Lan Kexin's carefree voice came from outside.
"Brother, if something really happens, you'll be in trouble, humph! Hmm? Why is the door closed? Could it be... hehe..."
The sound gradually became smaller. Mo Fan's magic eye looked through the hatch and saw Lan Kexin clinging to the door. After signaling to Chenxi, he stood up and quietly walked towards the door.
"Why is there no sound? Could it be that he is too tired and fell asleep? Is Mo Fan so weak?"
Lan Kexin was outside the cabin, talking quietly to herself, not knowing that all of this was heard by Mo Fan. Veins popped up on Mo Fan's forehead, and then he used a little magic power on his mouth, allowing the sound to spread in a specific direction.
"Wow!"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"
As Mo Fan's voice sounded, Lan Kexin's scream came from outside the cabin door. Mo Fan opened the cabin door and looked at Lan Kexin, who was slumped on the ground, rubbing her buttocks, and laughed. Chenxi was also standing behind Mo Fan, covering her mouth and laughing.
When Lanquan and other crew members on the deck heard the noise, they looked at each other and then smiled helplessly. This kind of scene has happened many times. At first, they would rush down as fast as possible to see if there was anything wrong. After a few times, they stopped looking, after all, it was just a few children playing.
"Damn it! When did you find out? And you! Chenxi! You didn't stop him, and you even scared me with him. Humph! You've learned bad habits."
Lan Kexin crossed her hands in front of her chest and turned her head to the side, looking angry.
Little did they know that Chenxi and Mo Fan had reached a consensus.
"Who told you to eavesdrop outside the door? If we hadn't discovered it earlier, what would have happened if you had overheard everything we were talking about?"
There was some ambiguity in Chenxi's words. According to normal logic, Chenxi's words meant that the content of her conversation with Mo Fan was shameful, or that they would be embarrassed if others knew about it.
But Chenxi and Mo Fan's identities prevented them from discussing private matters. Whether it was some specific information about the Holy Light Empire, such as which city had more soldiers and which city had weaker defenses, or the pros and cons of magic, these were things that could not be discussed. On weekdays, they would only discuss the skills of priests. As a saint, Chenxi herself would not discuss the few magic spells she had learned in the church.
The same goes for Mo Fan. He would not tell Chenxi about everything in the Demon King's City, nor would he talk to the Saint about the Demon Generals. Even the spell that Mo Fan was currently learning, he had not shown it to Chenxi and the others, in order to keep it secret.
This is also the bottom line of their current relationship. When their relationship goes a step further and they can trust each other, maybe they can say it.
Since Mo Fan and Chen Xi can't talk about any private matters, what will they say that they don't want Lan Kexin to know?
Thoughts, that is, love.
Lan Kexin knew that Chenxi liked Mo Fan, but she didn't know that Mo Fan also liked Chenxi. So Chenxi's words made Lan Kexin think in this way, making Lan Kexin think that Chenxi didn't want her to know Mo Fan's answer, so she pretended to be shy.
And actually?
In fact, Chenxi and Mofan were discussing whether Lanquan was trustworthy. And Lanquan was Lan Kexin's brother. If this was heard, there might be a rift in their relationship, which was not what Chenxi and Mofan wanted to see. So they chose this white lie.
What about Lan Kexin? She was usually carefree and didn't think much about it at this moment. So when she heard Chenxi's words, she looked at Chenxi with a smirk on her face.
"Oh? Are you so afraid of being overheard by me? Are you two... talking about something bad? Or... Chenxi, did you confess your feelings? What do you say, Mo Fan?"
After Lan Kexin finished speaking, Chenxi's face immediately turned red, which also confirmed Lan Kexin's guess. Little did she know that this was exactly Chenxi's purpose.
And Chenxi's blushing was not fake, after all, girls can't fake a blush.
Of course, applying makeup and blush does not count.
Chenxi blushed because Lan Kexin's words reminded her of the confession. In fact, after the confession, Chenxi kept asking herself why she was so direct, and whether Mo Fan would think that she didn't have the reserve of a girl.
So Mo Fan agreed, which was a blessing in disguise.
