"It’s just that the girl is too shy, always keeping her head down, I didn’t see what she looks like..."
"Who cares what she looks like! As long as the boss likes her, even a sow will do!"
Everyone paused upon hearing this, all eyes turned to the one who just spoke, that fool.
"I’m done eating!" Lu Lan looked up and saw the person behind the fool. She quickly picked up her plate and turned to flee the scene.
"Hey? You didn’t say anything! Why are you leaving?"
The others sharply sensed something, glanced sideways, and felt impending disaster.
Everyone scrambled to leave in a hurry.
Only the fool was left, dumbfounded, staring at the suddenly empty table.
"Why did everyone leave? Weren’t we asking about the boss’s love life? Is the boss finally off the market?"
"If you want to get off the market, just go to the logistics department and find a sow."
He Qi’an’s cold voice came from behind.
Fool: !!! Damn, these bastards! The boss came and they didn’t even warn me!!!
"Hehe, boss... I temporarily have no thoughts about that, really!"
The fool put on a miserable face, turning around.
He Qi’an crossed his arms, looking at him expressionlessly, "I remember you were asking around everywhere for someone to set you up back then."
"No, no, no! Absolutely not, if it was, it was just thoughts from before, I have no such thoughts now!"
The fool watched the boss’s face turning really ugly, took a step back, and quickly ran away.
"Boss, I’ve got to assemble, see you later!"
He Qi’an watched the fool’s fleeing figure, he didn’t chase after him.
He smirked slightly and picked up something that was just left on the table, heading back.
Outside the canteen, Lin Xiaoyan was waiting nearby.
At this moment, Lin Xiaoyan’s eyes were dazzled as she watched the soldiers walking back and forth.
Their firm muscles were truly a sight for sore eyes.
"Nice to look at, huh?"
He Qi’an followed Lin Xiaoyan’s gaze, with a hint of amusement in his tone.
Lin Xiaoyan heard He Qi’an’s voice and immediately withdrew her gaze, "What? I wasn’t looking at anything!"
He Qi’an looked at Lin Xiaoyan, who was speaking with her eyes wide open, and shook his head speechlessly.
"Let’s go."
Lin Xiaoyan followed behind He Qi’an, glancing at the soldiers not far away, wiped her mouth, and quickly caught up.
He Qi’an slowed his pace, waited for Lin Xiaoyan to catch up, looked at her, and said.
"This mission is actually similar to the one with Kong Xi. But back then, it was only Kong Xi alone, and you could catch a breath. This time... there are many people, can you handle it?"
"How many people?"
Lin Xiaoyan clenched her fists, swallowed her dry throat, and asked.
"It’s not certain yet, we’ll have to wait for Xuan Shiyi and the others to make the final decision."
Lin Xiaoyan took a deep breath. Although she had prepared herself earlier, thinking about the upcoming period when she would "see" various scenes, she felt like she might ascend to the heavens at any moment.
"There are psychiatrists here, too. If you can’t handle it, just stop." He Qi’an looked seriously at Lin Xiaoyan and advised.
"Okay..."
Arriving at the meeting room, Xuan Shiyi and the others were already there.
Lin Xiaoyan had just sat down when Shui Yuanyu arrived with people.
Soon, the commanders arrived as well.
"No time to lose. So far, ten thousand soldiers have been selected and assembled. From here on, it’s up to you." A senior officer spoke to several members of the Xuanmen Group.
"Let’s go." Xuan Er stood up.
Xuan Shiyi and the others stood up one after another.
Shui Yuanyu and his group did not move.
Lin Xiaoyan looked at Xuan Shiyi and the others, then at Shui Yuanyu and his group. Should she go or not?
Another officer walked up to Shui Yuanyu’s group, respectfully inquiring.
"You all are superpower users, according to information from the Special Investigation Bureau, Shui Yuanyu can control objects without touching them, except for living things.
Xiao Yang, invisibility technique, can remain invisible for twenty minutes.
Gan Tu, hypnotism, can quickly hypnotize enemies.
Wu Meng, strongman, can lift a thousand-pound object.
Lin Xiaoyan, predict the future?"
Speaking of Lin Xiaoyan’s superpower, everyone’s gaze turned to Lin Xiaoyan.
Lin Xiaoyan felt her heart tighten under the scrutinizing gazes.
The three superpower users beside Shui Yuanyu also cast curious glances.
"Not everyone can predict, only when someone accidentally touches her and will have something bad happen to them in the future.
If these two conditions are not met, she is just an ordinary person."
He Qi’an explained.
Upon hearing this, those present understood.
This superpower might just trigger randomly, or it might help avoid danger in advance.
The commander sitting opposite gave Lin Xiaoyan a meaningful glance.
What he was thinking was unknown to anyone.
After the officer finished introducing the superpowers of the five superpower users, he began to assign tasks.
Lin Xiaoyan was taken outside alone. Her task was to "see" each person one by one after Xuan Shiyi and the others finalized the selection.
He Qi’an was called away again, and Lu Lan stayed behind Lin Xiaoyan, taking her to watch Xuan Shiyi and the others select people.
Xuan Er was throwing something, with Xuan Wu and the others standing behind him.
When Xuan Er finished throwing, he looked at the copper coins on the ground, raised his hand to calculate quickly.
A few minutes later, he solemnly raised his hand and pointed in a direction.
Xuan Shiyi leaned in to whisper with the commander standing next to them.
The commander then transferred the soldiers from the direction Xuan Er had pointed out.
Xuan Er changed position and continued his throw and calculations.
Originally, there were ten thousand people on the field, until noon only a thousand were left.
At noon, meals were brought and settled right on the spot.
Lin Xiaoyan looked at the remaining thousand soldiers, feeling a sense of panic.
Is she really going to have to "see" so many people? That’s too many!
There’s no way she’ll be able to sleep tonight, not for just tonight!
Lin Xiaoyan quickly finished her tasteless lunch.
After lunch, she saw He Qi’an and Shi Nan with a group of people arriving too, joining the crowd.
Xuan Er saw them arrive, and after standing in front of them, performed calculations again.
Finally, two people were transferred out of the team.
"Hey! Why were those two taken out!" Lu Lan sighed.
Lin Xiaoyan looked at those two, seeing them gazing longingly at the others in the team.
Xuan Er’s task was completed, and he withdrew, turned around after a glance, and walked straight towards Lin Xiaoyan.
Xuan Er approached Lin Xiaoyan, nodded at her, and sat down to meditate.
Lin Xiaoyan watched Xuan Er meditating with his eyes closed, noticing his pale face and his entire body seemingly exhausted.
Xuan Liu walked over, standing by Xuan Er to guard him.
On the field were Xuan Wu, Xuan Shiyi, and Daoist An.
Xuan Wu stood aside without moving.
Xuan Shiyi and Daoist An began screening the remaining thousand people.
They started from both ends and observed the physiognomy one by one.
"You, leave!"
"You, you, you, and you, leave!"
"You and the one next to you, leave!"
