In other words, the Huaxia soldiers have been pressured to retreat continuously. Thus, the western battlefield can be said to be extremely oppressive, however, the eastern battlefield is even worse. Compared to the western battlefield, the eastern battlefield can be described as utterly dismal, with the enemy making a large-scale invasion while the Huaxia soldiers can do nothing.
Only the southern front led by Qianxi is comparatively better, as Qianxi once heavily defeated the enemy there, thus the Huaxia army seized the moment, extending the front by several hundred Baili, raising the demoralized former army spirits with newfound vigor.
Yet, the original situation didn't change even slightly; disadvantage remained disadvantage. Thus, even though Qianxi returned triumphantly, it was quite worried, unable to understand why these seemingly insignificant countries chose to attack Huaxia at the same time with mostly similar resources.
Each country had a master of the Golden Elixir, causing further headaches for Qianxi because, facing them one by one was no fear, but when combined, they became tough to deal with, especially since their forces were scattered extensively.
Here a little, there a little, like a swarm of flies, impossible to drive away. The metaphor of flies is fitting, for all the tactics of these fronts are akin to those on the line with Qianxi: hit once and flee, avoiding direct confrontation.
"Bang!" A sharp sound of pounding the table came from Qianxi's office. Initially, Qianxi felt pleased with the triumph but hearing about the other fronts made Qianxi inwardly furious.
"Do these pesky flies truly think we fear them?" Qianxi roared, even though the office was empty, it simply wanted to vent.
Yet, just as Qianxi spoke, someone replied.
Xiao Yifei returned to Hua Xiangrong's side, Hua Xiangrong breathed a sigh of relief, hoping Xiao Yifei's acupuncture technique could help Huaxia escape the current predicament, but Xiao Yifei shook his head, indicating it couldn't be taken lightly.
This left Hua Xiangrong puzzled, thinking simply, as long as someone in the Golden Elixir Realm could break through, that person alone could guard a front line, thus alleviating Huaxia's hardship of insufficient Golden Elixir masters.
But Xiao Yifei shook his head. What does it mean, does he not want to contribute to the nation? Thinking of this, Hua Xiangrong glared at Xiao Yifei. Seeing this, Xiao Yifei was taken aback, realizing Hua Xiangrong misunderstood him, he smiled and explained his reasons to Hua Xiangrong.
Upon hearing Xiao Yifei's reasons, Hua Xiangrong chuckled awkwardly, realizing she misunderstood Xiao Yifei. Hua Xiangrong coughed twice slightly. Seeing this, Xiao Yifei sighed helplessly and said, "Breaking through the Golden Elixir isn't as easy as you think, and there is a risk of Deviation."
These side effects were something Hua Xiangrong had never known; she thought that as soon as Xiao Yifei applied the acupuncture, breakthrough success was guaranteed. But after hearing these reasons, Hua Xiangrong realized she was gravely mistaken, meaning Xiao Yifei's return wouldn't bring any help to the country.
However, Hua Xiangrong was still quite relieved, at least Xiao Yifei was safe. After contemplating for a long time, Xiao Yifei recalled Liu Bailong was still injured. Thinking of this, Xiao Yifei hurriedly asked Hua Xiangrong to contact the hospital for him. Upon hearing this, Hua Xiangrong immediately complied.
After doing so, Hua Xiangrong puzzledly asked Xiao Yifei why the hospital needed contacting, prompting Xiao Yifei to tell about his attack. After hearing this, Hua Xiangrong frowned, wondering, like Xiao Yifei before, about the adversary's motives.
But Xiao Yifei timely reminded Hua Xiangrong since Hua Xiangrong knew he could assist Golden Elixir individuals in breaking through the Realm, then how could others not know? They feared Xiao Yifei's return, allowing more Golden Elixir masters to break through, shifting the war towards Huaxia's favor.
The enemy indeed doesn't wish to see this. Upon such awakening by Xiao Yifei, Hua Xiangrong suddenly realized if an auxiliary like Xiao Yifei could go back, the outcome would undoubtedly be disadvantageous for the enemy.
"Thankfully you returned safely." Hua Xiangrong exclaimed. Hearing this, Xiao Yifei sighed helplessly, if not for Liu Bailong, Xiao Yifei might not have returned safely. Because of Liu Bailong's desperate rescue, Xiao Yifei could stand here unharmed.
However, the price was Liu Bailong enduring grave injury without reason; fortunately, Xiao Yifei was a doctor, otherwise Liu Bailong might have already succumbed to excessive blood loss on the road.
Currently, Liu Bailong was sitting quietly on the chair, seemingly unwilling to speak, appearing exhausted due to the injury's pain. Although Xiao Yifei performed timely treatment, Liu Bailong couldn't escape needing voluntary medical treatment.
Because despite Xiao Yifei's excellent medical skill, he couldn't perform miracles without adequate resources. The tools in the hospital surpassed what Xiao Yifei could achieve with simple treatment.
The hospital Hua Xiangrong contacted soon dispatched an ambulance. Seeing Liu Bailong board safely, Xiao Yifei sighed in relief, ensuring Liu Bailong's safety was assured.
Seeing Xiao Yifei slightly relieved, Hua Xiangrong felt a pang of heartache. Since Xiao Yifei came to Beijing, he encountered one crisis after another without rest, but Xiao Yifei never backed down from any challenge.
Xiao Yifei may not realize it, but Hua Xiangrong saw it clearly; Xiao Yifei is someone who entirely considers others, never speaking of his fatigue or hardship, which is both Xiao Yifei's strength and weakness.
"Xiao Yifei, take a rest." Hua Xiangrong said worriedly.
Yet, Xiao Yifei indeed didn't heed Hua Xiangrong's advice, shaking his head, "I need to find Qianxi!"
Just as Hua Xiangrong expected, upon suggesting Xiao Yifei to rest, Xiao Yifei declared he needed to find Qianxi, undoubtedly to discuss strategies with Qianxi, leaving no time for rest.
For a moment, Hua Xiangrong sighed helplessly, "Don't you feel exhausted turning continuously?" She said, looking at Xiao Yifei with concern, prompting a pause from him. Only through Hua Xiangrong's words did Xiao Yifei realize he hadn't rested for a long time.
But given the current circumstances, there is no time for rest. If he doesn't step forward, someone else must. With this mindset, Xiao Yifei then shook his head at Hua Xiangrong, "What about tiredness, what about not feeling tired, matters must be solved, nothing less."
Hearing this, Hua Xiangrong sighed helplessly, "Alright." She sighed softly, then unexpectedly felt a pair of large hands embracing her. About to struggle, she found it was Xiao Yifei, thus allowing Xiao Yifei to do as he wished.
