Chapter 136: The Nuclear Option
After Benton finished giving instructions about the FEDs, he pulled Kang Lin away from the others. “I need some advice, and I think you and Zhong Wen might be my best sources.”
“Of course, Master. Anything you need.”
The two of them walked to the orphanage, and Zhong Wen invited them inside. Once they were settled, she asked him what he needed help with.
“It’s kind of an awkward subject, and I’m not sure how to handle it.”
“You can ask us anything, Master,” Zhong Wen said.
“Well, you see, sect members are starting to pair up. There are two official couples already.”
Kang Lin tilted her head to the side.
“Are you confused about something?” Benton said to her.
“Yes, Master. Zou Tian and Wan Ai are obviously a couple, but who makes up the second one? I don’t know all the sect members, but I would have thought Yang Xiu would have filled me in.”
“Uh…” Speaking of awkward. “You and Yang Ru are the second couple.”
“But we’re not, Master.”
Benton frowned. “Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. Did he do something stupid? Yeah. I bet that’s it. He did something stupid. Look, I’m sure he didn’t mean it. I’ll tell him to apologize.”
