This was a base, and even though the man was displeased, it wasn’t appropriate for him to stop her from leaving directly, and besides, Chen Yuan had moved too quickly. He hadn’t even reacted when she had already turned and run!
After Chen Yuan left, she first took a detour and, seeing no one was following her, she went to the compartment where Fang Yuxin and the others were staying. By the time she arrived, Fang Yuxin and the others were already in the Qingmu Spirit Mansion, and only three Substitute Puppets were left in the compartment. Once deployed, the Substitute Puppets seemed just like real people, and unless one had deep cultivation, it was impossible to tell anything was amiss.
Chen Yuan directly addressed the puppet transformed into Fang Yuxin, "Xiao Liu, you left in a hurry just now, and I forgot to tell you something. Many people at the base want a Wood Element Superpower User as a girlfriend. You’ve just arrived and don’t know anything, so it’s best to be careful in case someone targets you."
The Substitute Puppet thanked her, and Chen Yuan, recalling the earlier incident, still felt some unease toward Fang Yuxin. After saying this, she didn’t stay long and promptly took her leave. After she left, Bai Ye, who was in the Qingmu Spirit Mansion, looked at Fang Yuxin and asked, "Xinxin, why do you think she suddenly came to tell you this?"
Fang Yuyang sensed the sour tone in Bai Ye’s voice and, displeased that he was picking on his sister, darkened his expression and demanded, "Bai Ye, what are you trying to say exactly?"
Bai Ye, feeling frustrated, silently glanced at Fang Yuyang and said honestly, "Just now there was a man with her. What do you think, could it be that he said something, and that’s why she specifically came to tell Xinxin this?"
Fang Yuxin replied indifferently, "That man is a second-level Earth Element Superpower User. From their relationship, it seemed like they were boyfriend and girlfriend, but it also seemed colder than that. Regardless of whether he said something or not, Chen Yuan came to warn me out of goodwill, so let’s not speculate further." She finished, warningly glancing at Bai Ye.
Bai Ye grew even more upset. He was certain that that man had taken a liking to his Xinxin, which was why Chen Yuan had come to warn her! They were nearly stepping over his head, and was he not even allowed to be angry? Thinking this, he surreptitiously glanced again at Fang Yuyang, knowing that nothing good came with him being around. Unfortunately, this person was Fang Yuxin’s elder brother, and the sibling bond between them was unknown, so he dared not speak ill of Fang Yuyang in front of Fang Yuxin.
Fang Yuxin didn’t take the matter to heart, but Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang could not remain indifferent. Although there was some friction between them because of Fang Yuxin, if anyone dared target Fang Yuxin, they were united in their enmity. While Fang Yuxin was cooking, Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang secretly reached a consensus—if anyone really dared target Fang Yuxin, they would beat each one that came!
Their days were relatively relaxed, yet both the Bai Family and the Zhao Family were extremely tense. Just as the three had guessed, this attack on Luyun County was a conspiracy. Whether it was Bai Zhengyi and Bai Yi or Zhao Qiankun, they all wanted to use this opportunity to exterminate the other and consolidate the other’s forces, seizing control of the entire Beishi Base and becoming unmatched.
To achieve this goal and ensure foolproof plans, both sides entered into intense preparations. As for the trivial matter of three second-level superpower users arriving at the base, no one paid it any mind.
At the Bai Family, Bai Yi walked to the door of Bai Zhengyi’s study with a cheerful expression and knocked, "Dad, I have good news!"
Bai Zhengyi quickly let him in and once the door closed, seeing the unmistakable joy on Bai Yi’s face, he asked excitedly, "From the look on your face, could it be... the experiment was successful?"
Bai Yi nodded eagerly and walked to Bai Zhengyi, handing him a report, "Dad, you guessed right, the experiment has been successful! Dr. Li’s SEP-4 can successfully help Level 3 superpower users advance to Level 4, with a very high success rate! Once we have it, we can create many more Level 4 superpower users! By then, Zhao Qiankun will be nothing to worry about!"
Bai Zhengyi breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s good to hear, but..." he started, suddenly frowning and tapping his fingers on the desk agitatedly, "Zhao Qiankun is very cunning. Since he has decided to make a move this time, he must have also made thorough preparations. I’m worried that there might be unforeseen circumstances that could spell disaster for us."
Bai Yi felt his father was being overly worried and said disapprovingly, "Dad, you’re just too cautious. No matter what tricks Zhao Qiankun has, with so many Level 4 superpower users, do we really need to fear him? All schemes will be ineffective against true power!"
Bai Zhengyi then nodded and pressed down the unease in his heart, asking, "How many doses of SEP-4 can we make now?"
Bai Yi sighed regretfully, "Dr. Li said, at most ten doses. Any more won’t be possible unless we find more materials."
"Ten doses..." Bai Zhengyi calculated in his mind and finally said, "That’s enough. With these ten doses of the drug, our White Wolf Mercenary Corps can gain ten more Level 4 superpower users, and we won’t have to fear Zhao Qiankun anymore.
After a moment’s reflection, he gave Bai Yi a dark look, a flicker of hesitance in his eyes, rapidly hidden away, then slowly spoke, "Use one of those ten doses yourself. The Bai Family must have its own Level 4 superpower user."
Bai Yi, completely missing the hesitance in his eyes, naturally smiled, "Of course! Dad, don’t worry, once I’m a Level 4 superpower user, I will personally kill Zhao Qiankun and stop his arrogance once and for all!" (To be continued.
