The little girl blinked and said softly, “In the end, it’s all Chi Jiao’s fault. Pan Guming would have killed a few more Espers if she hadn’t suddenly appeared and interfered with Master’s business.”
“What are you trying to say?” She Qi seemed to have seen through the little lolita’s thoughts. He glanced at her from the corner of his eye.
The girl, Xia Luoqiao, smiled obediently. She came forward and hugged She Qi’s arm affectionately. “Qiaoqiao just wants to share Master’s burden. Master, Chi Jiao has always been in our way. We’ve endured her for so long, there’s no need to endure anymore. Why don’t you let me kill her? By then, wouldn’t the other Espers be at our mercy?”
She Qi turned to look at her.
Before Xia Luoqiao could get excited, She Qi shook her hand away and said sarcastically, “You’re not her match.”
Xia Luoqiao looked indignant as she said loudly, “No, Master. I can do it! I saw Chi Jiao just now. Her mental strength is a little strong, but she still has no answer to my superpower, right? I guarantee that I can kill her as long as you give me a suitable opportunity!”
“Chi Jiao had just defeated Pan Guming and exhausted her mental power to mobilize her two stones. Even so, she was able to injure you when facing me. You would be no match for her if she was in her peak form. Stop talking nonsense and go back with me.” She Qi verbally attacked her mercilessly.
Xia Luoqiao clenched her fists indignantly, but she did not dare to object. She obediently controlled the shadows and left with She Qi.
Poor Pan Guming’s body was left in the empty forest.
Suddenly, a layer of dark clouds enveloped the sky, blocking the mournful moonlight.
“Meow, meow.” A group of cats came over. They quickly gathered around Pan Guming and licked his face.
A red light slowly emerged from between Pan Guming’s eyebrows. However, the red light was flickering and looked like it could be extinguished at any moment.
The red light flickered as it flew out and attached itself to a black cat.
The black cat and the red light seemed to have a tacit understanding. It quickly left the forest with the red light and ran straight towards White City.
…
Meanwhile, in Chi Jiao’s office in the 117 Building.
She activated the Heart of Illusion to treat Shen Xing.
It wasn’t until Chi Jiao exhausted the last trace of her mental strength that she managed to repair the cracks on the mirror using the Heart of Illusion’s power.
Chi Jiao finally heaved a sigh of relief upon sensing that Shen Xing’s aura had stabilized.
“Come in.” Chi Jiao called out before coughing twice.
The real Di Ziyan and Zhan Tingting opened the door and entered. They immediately saw Chi Jiao’s pale face.
“Boss, you’ve expended too much energy. You need to rest now!” Zhan Tingting sat beside her with concern.
“I’m fine. Put the mirror in a quiet room. Don’t let anyone disturb it before Shen Xing appears again.” Chi Jiao raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows tiredly.
“Boss, you should go to the lounge to rest first. You were busy all night yesterday, you should get a good sleep. We will continue to lead the search for She Qi and Pan Guming,” Di Ziyan said. He was very concerned about her.
“No, I have to go home. Quan Jue will definitely be home after work today. He’ll definitely be worried if he doesn’t see me…” Chi Jiao stood up stubbornly from the sofa.
