"Xia Liang," Lin Xiaolu suddenly put down the poster and called out expressionlessly.
The two girls surrounded the couch, one with an expressionless face, the other with an inexplicable smile. They blocked both ends of the sofa, watching the fairy who was still chatting away.
"If those things can't be obtained, collecting some saliva while she sleeps is also viable, as for blood, that's too difficult, I won't press you on that... Wait, what are you doing? I must emphasize that for the sake of our friendly communication, we should avoid actions that could lead to misunderstandings by people or fairies..."
"Whoa! What are you doing! That's too rough, stop it! Put me down this instant!"
"I came with sincerity! Even if there's something difficult to fulfill, there's no need to act ! Wait! Don't open the window! Don't you want to become stronger... Aaaaah!"
In the gradually dimming twilight, the secret base's floor-to-ceiling window was suddenly flung open. From the brightly lit house, a spherical object was thrown out like discarded trash, landing heavily in the bushes a few meters away.
Then, the living room's floor-to-ceiling window was closed.
After closing the window, Lin Xiaolu, as if she had touched something dirty, dusted off her hands, glanced at the bushes not far away, drew the curtains to the side, and then sat back down on the sofa.
However, even after driving that uninvited guest out of the secret base, her expression never relaxed.
Having returned from the window, Xia Liang saw Lin Xiaolu's expression and couldn't help but feel puzzled: "Did the fairy say something particularly annoying just now?"
Lin Xiaolu pondered and shook her head: "On the contrary, excluding that last part, I think it made several very valid points."
"Emerald Sparrow accepted Hong Siyu and that woman back into the Fangting City team because one person alone wasn't enough to protect the city, and she didn't want to put the pressure on us."
Lin Xiaolu lowered her voice a tad: "That means, there must be some entanglement that we don't know about."
Hearing her words, Xia Liang gave a helpless smile: "You're making the relationship between little senior and Sister Hong sound too complicated. Just like us, they were once teammates who fought side by side."
"No, Xia Liang, you're too naive."
Lin Xiaolu shook her head solemnly: "Emerald Sparrow's relationship with my dad has been heating up lately, and Hong Si had her own ulterior motives before, meaning there's a rivalry known as 'romantic rivals' between them, and now they have to fight side by side again."
What she didn't mention was that on the day Emerald Sparrow introduced Hong Siyu into the team, she saw the exchange of glances between Emerald Sparrow and Hong Siyu.
At that time, Hong Siyu seemed to gloat with a glance at Emerald Sparrow, while Emerald Sparrow's resigned look seemed to be that of silent endurance.
In other words, that woman was threatening Emerald Sparrow.
That's what Lin Xiaolu believed.
"So, although that fairy was spouting nonsense and trying to sow discord, there was one thing it said that I think was correct."
"Which thing?" Feeling a strange sense of déjà vu about the current situation, Xia Liang really didn't want to pursue the topic, but still reluctantly asked.
"...To know the truth, sometimes you have to take some extreme measures."
Lin Xiaolu stood up abruptly, clenched her fist, and shouted, "So, I'm going to follow that woman!"
