“Huh, Croatia?” Mo Fan was stunned at the other end of the call. For some reason, the place sounded extremely familiar to him.

A moment later, Mo Fan finally recalled that when he and the crazy woman, Asha’ruiya went to pay the Black Dragon Emperor a visit, they ended up teleporting to Croatia’s boundary when they were running for their lives.

It was not too far away from Venice, and Mo Fan vaguely remembered that there was indeed a plague breaking out when he was on his way back.

After coming back to Venice, Mo Fan had seen lots of news about how terrifying the plague in Croatia was. It actually seemed slightly more serious than the plague that had broken out in Hangzhou. To Mo Fan’s surprise, the Parthenon Temple was sending Xinxia right into the center of the plague after she had just come back from a war!

-What on Earth, are the people of the Parthenon Temple insane? Couldn’t they tell Xinxia is impaired? Why do they have to keep sending her out to some dangerous place?-

“Hell no, let’s just quit, who cares about being a servant in the Parthenon Temple? It’s like they are trying to work you to death when you’ve just started working there! That’s totally unacceptable, just resign now, we can go back to our country after I’m done with the competition, and you can give birth to little Xinxia and little Mo Fan, and live a comfortable life. Who cares about what they want!” Mo Fan said imperiously, as if the Parthenon Temple was nothing in his eyes.

Mo Fan was feeling sorry for Xinxia. The girl was just too easy-going, allowing others to take advantage of her. Mo Fan could not believe that the Parthenon Temple could not send someone else to handle the deadly plague!

“Brother Mo Fan, the plague is really quite serious. I want to try my best to help the sick,” Xinxia explained.

After going through the Calamity of Bo City, Xinxia had found her ambition. She did not want to witness such a hellish scene again, or feel how useless she was when something like it happened again. She was now able to contribute, and regardless of how difficult it was, adding on the fact that it was part of her responsibilities, she just wanted to help the people, to save them from being tortured by the sickness.

“Why do you always… the plague isn’t something you can resolve on your own,” Mo Fan sighed.

There was certainly more to the plague than what had met the eye, if it was A-rank. Mo Fan clearly remembered how the plague in Hangzhou was linked to a Councilman. Based on Mo Fan’s experience, rather than thinking that an uncontrollable plague of this scale was a natural disaster, it was more likely someone’s doing, whether someone was trying to hide the truth, or someone was abusing it for personal gains. As such, how could a naive girl like Xinxia possibly resolve it?

“I know, but I’m trying to do what I can. Healing a person is better than doing nothing,” Xinxia said.

“Fine, I’m missing you too. I’ll go with you, I just happen to be hiding from some trouble too,” Mo Fan declared.

“Aren’t you in the middle of a tournament? That’s a lot more important,” Xinxia had only called Mo Fan to tell him her plan. She did not want Mo Fan to leave the World College Tournament because of her.

“We’re quite lucky that the next match, and the match after that, are just some weak teams. I bet that stubborn Feng Li wouldn’t even let me take part in the matches. Besides, with Mu Ningxue around, I probably won’t have a chance either,” Mo Fan said.

“Ningxue has been quite outstanding!” Xinxia exclaimed. Even though she was not in Venice, she did watch the replay.

“She can handle it all as long as our team isn’t up against a strong opponent. The next, and the match after the next, are none of my business. They have already decided who’s going to take part in the matches. I’ll go with you, probably for four or five days. If we really can’t resolve it, we’ll leave right away. There are things you can’t force,” Mo Fan said gently.

“Mm, mm,” Xinxia nodded. She was fairly obedient. As Mo Fan had mentioned, it was enough as long as they tried their best. There was no need to force themselves. “By the way, you said you were hiding from some trouble, has Brother Mo Fan stirred up some trouble again?”

“Ah, it’s nothing serious. I just took care of an annoying jerk, and the guy is trying to get his revenge,” Mo Fan yawned.

“Oh, alright.” Xinxia would not believe it was just a random jerk. If Mo Fan had to hide from someone, the person was surely not ordinary!

Xinxia was just about to tell Mo Fan about her being promoted to a Candidate when some disturbance came from the other end.

“Huh, such a coincidence, someone is calling me… it’s Zhang Xiaohou, I thought he had gone missing!” Mo Fan remarked when he saw the notification of the incoming call.

“Then you should take the call first, we’ll talk again in Croatia.” Xinxia assumed Zhang Xiaohou had some important matters to discuss with Mo Fan, so she decided to tell Mo Fan the matter that was bothering her next time.

“Brother Fan!’ Zhang Xiaohou yelled energetically from the other end.

Mo Fan was sitting by the window while clipping his toenails. He was using his knee to hold the phone in place as he talked indifferently into it, “You finally know how to give your big brother a call? Have you almost forgotten your big brother after making a name for yourself in the Ancient Capital? I remember your last call was when you were promoted to a captain. How long ago was that?”

“Brother Fan, you sound so harsh!. You never had any signal when you went for training, so it’s always out of signal whenever I call you. Besides, wasn’t I busy dealing with the demon creatures in Qinling Mountains lately? Do you think I’m having the time of my life?” Zhang Xiaohou replied.

“Fine, what are you up to this time? Just tell me quickly, stop disturbing me when I’m flirting with your sister-in-law,” Mo Fan said.

“Ah, so Brother Fan and Ningxue have already progressed so far, at this time at night… hehehe.”

“It’s Xinxia.”

“Oh, so it’s the younger sister-in-law, have you taken down the elder sister-in-law?”

“What do you think?”

“I bet not.”

“I’m hanging up if you don’t have anything important!” Mo Fan was starting to get impatient.

“It’s nothing important, indeed, I just want to tell you that the military has decided to give me a long holiday, so I’m thinking of visiting Europe and watching you fight in the tournament. HAHAHA, I told my comrades you were my brother growing up together, and they are so jealous of me!” Zhang Xiaohou said.

“Ah, so you do have leave!”

“Isn’t that right? I almost turn into a savage when I’m dealing with the demon creatures in Qinling Mountains. I finally have a chance to rest, so I immediately thought of my Brother Fan; aren’t I a good brother!?” Zhang Xiaohou laughed.

“Indeed, how about this? I’m heading off to Croatia for a few days, so you can just fly to Croatia and I’ll bring you around, and then we’ll go back to Venice, how’s that?” Mo Fan’s voice remained calm despite suddenly coming up with the brilliant idea.

“Yeah, sure! It’s going to be fun if Brother Fan is bringing me around. I’ll just buy the ticket for an overnight flight, and I’ll be there tomorrow morning!” Zhang Xiaohou said excitedly.

“Sure, see you in Croatia!”

“See you in Croatia!”

After hanging up the call, Mo Fan tossed the toenails outside the window, so the canals in Venice could have a taste of his sacred self. He murmured as he was committing the shameless act, “Things would be much simpler if everyone was like Zhang Xiaohou.”

——

Croatia International Airport…

Zhang Xiaohou carrying a backpack was applying for his visa on arrival.

Zhang Xiaohou was doubtful when he saw how empty the place was.

“What’s going on? Didn’t they always say there are many travelers in Europe? Not only is the flight empty, even the number of people arriving at the airport is surprisingly low.”

Despite the low numbers, the inspection was fairly strict. Zhang Xiaohou was still confused when he walked out of the airport. Why was the officer staring at him as if he was a criminal when he told the man he had come here for his holiday?

“Why is everyone wearing a mask? Is it part of the culture here? That does make sense, the ladies in the Arab nation are all tightly covered with only their eyes exposed,” Zhang Xiaohou murmured as he was looking for Mo Fan.

Not long after, Zhang Xiaohou saw Mo Fan in the underground car park.

To Zhang Xiaohou’s surprise, Xinxia was there too!

It had been quite a while since he last met Xinxia. Zhang Xiaohou almost had trouble recognizing her. It felt like Xinxia was a different person now; prettier, more elegant, and more outstanding than before!

As expected of someone from the Parthenon Temple, even Xinxia, who used to be weak and feeble now had a sacred, noble temperament.

“Brother Fan, where are we visiting first?” Zhang Xiaohou said.

“To the temporary relay station set up for the plague,” Mo Fan said.

Mo Fan did not want to waste any time. He was more familiar with how terrifying a plague could be once it started spreading.

“Plague?” Zhang Xiaohou was dumbfounded.

Xinxia rolled her eyes at Mo Fan when she saw Zhang Xiaohou’s reaction. As she thought, Zhang Xiaohou was tricked into coming here!

“How ignorant are you? How could you not know about such a serious plague? This whole place is a plague zone, yet look at you, not even a single piece of protective clothing, carrying a backpack still. Customs only let you enter only because you look rather harmless!” Fiona, who had come with Xinxia said in displeasure.

“Brother Fan, didn’t you say you were bringing me around to have some fun?” Zhang Xiaohou smiled wryly.

“The plague, the whole city is in chaos because of it, could anything be funnier than this?”

“But isn’t this a bit overboard? I just got my vacation…”

“Stop blabbering!”

Zhang Xiaohou felt miserable.

The truth was, only Zhang Xiaohou would be fooled by Mo Fan. He had just returned from a skirmish, thus he had not updated himself with the latest news. Unfortunately, he had not caught his breath after the huge operation, and he had already been dragged to this scary place by Mo Fan!

His life was definitely full of surprises after he acknowledged Mo Fan as his big brother!

“I’m already here, it’s too late to turn back now. Let’s go,” Zhang Xiaohou said helplessly.

“We’ll wait a bit longer.”

“Still waiting for someone else? Let’s hope it’s not a clueless idiot again,” Fiona remarked harshly.

Zhang Xiaohou was just about to ask who they were waiting for when the door of the escalator slowly opened. An innocent-looking loli, adorable and elegant, with huge glittering eyes sparkling with intelligence, came out of it. However, if anyone took a closer look, they would discover that the glitter in her eyes did not originate from the innocence of a little girl at her age.

“Everyone’s here,” Mo Fan waved at Lingling.

Meanwhile, Fiona smacked her own head and yelled, “Oh my God!”
