Nicholas paused.
He narrowed his eyes and slowly said, “Why not?”
Xiang Huai shot him a glance with a faint smile.
Nicholas clenched his jaw. “Xiang, could she be that person?”
Xiang Huai did not speak and turned around to show his back to Nicholas.
Nicholas moved to his side and reached out to push him awake. “Xiang, don’t sleep. Get up and explain to me what your little girlfriend’s superpower is. Don’t worry. With our relationship, I’ll definitely keep it a secret.”
Xiang Huai did not speak again.
Nicholas was left alone to face the night.
He fiddled with the fire and the light from it shone on his face. It flickered on and darkened his eyes. He turned to look at Xiang Huai, who was lying down.
He knew that this person was not asleep and was only pretending to be asleep because he did not want to bother with him, but he could not do anything to him.
…
In the capital, on the mountain behind Huaxia University.
The battlefield had been divided into two parts.
Part of it was Jing Fei and Zheng Zhi, who were engaged in a life-and-death battle with the men in black.
Another part was Xue Xi, who was standing in front of Little Flame and staring at the long-faced man in black. Just now, the long-faced man would rather hurt his own people than hurt her, making Xue Xi hesitate.
She stared at the horse-faced man’s trembling hands as she fired hard. The gun in his hand had already fallen to the ground.
Jing Fei flew in the sky and saw more.
When he saw Xue Xi, he was stunned and shouted, “Sister Xi! Why are you back?”
After saying that, he flew toward her.
Zheng Zhi also saw Xue Xi and was furious. “Why did an ordinary person like you come back? Are you seeking death?”
As he shouted this, he pushed back the espers beside him and rushed toward Xue Xi.
Xue Xi shouted, “Don’t come over!”
It would be very tiring for them to divert their attention to rush over during the battle.
Indeed, Zheng Zhi’s arm was accidentally cut.
Jing Fei was also flipped in the air as he tried to dodge a bullet from the other party.
Just as the two of them failed to rush over, the long-faced man suddenly said, “So you’re Xue Xi. Hahahaha, I didn’t expect it to be you!”
Xue Xi paused. “You know me?”
The long-faced man nodded. “Yes, I know you. How can I not know you? I won’t kill you, nor will I hurt you…”
Just as he said this, the horse-faced man suddenly jumped!
He was extremely fast. Before anyone could react, he kicked Xue Xi!
He was too fast. Even if Xue Xi fired, it would be impossible to hit him. Xue Xi immediately turned around and dodged his attack.
Unexpectedly!
The long-faced man in black was only making a fake move. His real goal was—
Xue Xi had quickly dodged the man in black’s attack, exposing Gao Yanchen. Gao Yanchen retreated as fast as he could, but he was still not as fast as the man in black and was kicked in the chest!
Gao Yanchen’s body flew backward.
Behind them… was a cliff!
As soon as Xue Xi got up, she realized the horse-faced man’s intentions. However, the other party was too fast. His action carried an aura of mutual destruction. While kicking Gao Yanchen, he also fell off the cliff!
However, he then jumped lightly on the cliff wall and soared into the sky. He jumped to the opposite side of the cliff and left quickly. Under the moonlight, only his laughter was left. “A few years ago, his parents died in my hands. Now, he will also die!”
Die…
Xue Xi reacted and hurriedly rushed toward the cliff!
At this moment, Jing Fei was still being blocked by a black-clothed esper and could not rush over. Injured, he fired shots toward the ground and cleared the path for Zheng Zhi.
Zheng Zhi walked up to Xue Xi and grabbed her arm. He shouted angrily, “What are you doing? Do you not want to live anymore? I already told you that ordinary people should not participate in espers’ battles. What else can you do other than causing trouble?”
Xue Xi did not hear him at all.
Her mind was filled with the image of Little Flame falling off the cliff in Bin City.
No.
It can’t be like this.
She suddenly turned around and pushed Zheng Zhi away. Without another word, she jumped down!
This resolute action stunned Zheng Zhi and Jing Fei.
Zheng Zhi roared, “Xue Xi!”
Jing Fei flew in the air and rushed over, but he was stopped by a black-clothed esper. His pupils shrank as he exclaimed, “Sister Xi!”
It’s over!
It’s over!
How was he going to explain this to Boss?!
…
Gao Yanchen’s entire body rose into the air and fell rapidly.
He could hear the wind.
Everything around him seemed to have slowed down, as though he was recalling the past before he died.
When he fell in Bin City, an explosion happened and triggered his superpower. Back then, it was Jing Fei who’d saved him.
This time, Jing Fei was being held back and could not save him.
Was he going to die?
He had originally thought that by hiding in Huaxia University, learning more, and increasing his capital, he could avenge his parents, so he did not acknowledge his friends.
However, at this moment, he regretted it.
If he’d known this would happen, why bother with that?
All this while, he might as well have played games with Flame Number One and Feng Yan and acknowledged Sister Xi…
As he thought this, he suddenly saw a person in front of him who was rapidly approaching him.
It was a girl.
Did an angel come to fetch him?
So, angel hair is also red?
No!
Gao Yanchen suddenly woke up and looked at the face that was getting closer and closer to him. This was…
“Sister Xi!” Gao Yanchen exclaimed.
Xue Xi had already approached and grabbed his arm. Her cold voice slowly sounded. “Little Flame, I won’t let you be alone this time.”
Her voice, mixed with the wind, entered Gao Yanchen’s ears.
Gao Yanchen choked. He wanted to say, “No, you can’t die.”
However, it was too late.
The two of them descended rapidly and were soon to land on the ground and turn into meat paste.
Gao Yanchen suddenly smiled.
Then I’ll owe you my life.
If there’s a next life, I’ll return it to you.
However, at this moment, Gao Yanchen widened his eyes and looked at Xue Xi in disbelief!
Above the cliff.
Based on the time, the two of them should have fallen to their deaths by now, so the men in black retreated.
Jing Fei and Zheng Zhi did not chase after them. Both of them rushed to the edge of the cliff. Jing Fei’s eyes were red as he rushed down without a word. He wanted to save Sister Xi!
Even if this cliff was very high and steep!
Zheng Zhi lay on the cliff and looked down hard. Just as he was feeling frightened, he saw Jing Fei slowly rising. He stopped in mid-air and looked down in shock.
Zheng Zhi was furious. “Jing Fei, what are you doing? Hurry up and save her!”
After saying that, he said with reddened eyes, “Dumb woman! I already said that ordinary people are useless. Why did she rush down? What else could she do other than die…”
However, just as he said this, he saw a figure slowly rising from the bottom of the cliff.
Zheng Zhi’s words were stuck in his throat.
His eyes widened.
The red-haired girl slowly rose into the air and held Gao Yanchen, who was also shocked.
Jing Fei landed beside Zheng Zhi.
The two of them raised their heads.
In the dark night.
The moonlight was bright and beautiful.
The girl’s red hair fluttered in the wind. She stood with one leg straight and the other bent. Her indifferent gaze was akin to the contempt of a god, and her black clothes fluttered in the wind.
It was as though a god had descended to the mortal world.
