Looking at the young man in front of her, Xue Xi felt a mix of emotions.
Even though she already knew about the existence of espers, she was still shocked by Little Flame’s manner of returning.
The espers she had seen before included Jing Fei, who could fly; Professor Feng, who had mind-expansion abilities; and the two spies from Country M, who could summon things from thin air and change their appearance. However, this was the first time Xue Xi had seen such a powerful fire-control superpower.
The entire mountain seemed to have warmed up because of Little Flame’s superpower. The temperature rose a few degrees for no reason.
He Gao… No, Gao Yanchen slowly turned around and fixed his gaze on Xue Xi. A hint of panic flashed across his eyes.
He seemed to be in a dilemma and hesitating about how to explain the situation just now.
He was also anxious.
If the document had been taken away, Sister Xi’s hard work would have been in vain! That was why he used his special power, but would Sister Xi think that he was a monster?
Just like when he was young…
He had red hair and an arrogant personality. The children around him all hid from him and were afraid of him, saying that he was a monster. Later, when his grandfather dyed his hair black, he’d thought, it was not his fault, so why should he cover it up?
Just like that, he donned a head of red hair and became a tyrant in Bin City.
Later, there came along Flame Number One, Flame Number Two… and the Roaring Flame Society.
Roaring Flame Society… Blazing Flame!
It was as though everything was predestined. He had also awakened his special power when he fell off the cliff with the man in black.
He then realized that there were other espers in this world. He was not the only monster…
Just as he was thinking this, he saw a smile on Xue Xi’s usually expressionless face. There was no distance, no fear, and there was not even a hint of reluctance.
Gao Yanchen was stunned. He suddenly grinned and said arrogantly, “Sister Xi.”
Xue Xi nodded.
However, the two of them did not exchange any more pleasantries because the man in black who was jumping around suddenly returned!
He was standing on a tree. When he got closer, they realized that he was not naked. Instead, he was wearing a tight-fitting suit that had been set on fire. His entire body was still wrapped in it, and his face could not be seen. However, one could see the fierceness and viciousness in his eyes. His voice was sharp and furious. “It’s indeed you! Their son! Ha, a few years ago, your parents ruined our chance to be rich. And now, you’ve destroyed my documents! I’m going to kill you!”
The moment he said this, a few more black-clothed espers appeared from the surroundings.
“Go!”
With that order, the rest rushed over.
Jing Fei and Zheng Zhi hurriedly approached Xue Xi. Jing Fei lowered his voice and said, “Sister Xi, we’ll stop them, but you’re not an esper. Hurry up and escape. Don’t get dragged into this!”
Xue Xi pursed her lips. “I’ll go with you guys.”
Just as Jing Fei was about to speak, Zheng Zhi said impatiently, “What can an ordinary person like you do? Your staying here will only increase our burden. Don’t try to show off. If we ask you to leave, just leave!”
After saying that, Zheng Zhi looked at her fiercely. “A war between espers should not affect ordinary people. We have to protect your safety!”
Although his words were nasty, he stood in front of Xue Xi and looked at the person who was running over. “Jing Fei, take her away first!”
Jing Fei could fly. As long as he could take Xue Xi high up, these people would not be able to hurt her!
Just as Xue Xi was about to say that there was no need, Jing Fei grabbed her arm. “Sister Xi, listen to my son this time. If anything happens to you and a single hair falls off, Boss will not let us off!”
The moment he said that, Xue Xi was suddenly pulled up into the air!
The people below instantly became smaller. Xue Xi could not step on anything and felt very insecure being hung in the air.
At this moment, Jing Fei’s trembling voice sounded. “Sister Xi, if you’re afraid, close your eyes! I’m going to fly!”
Following this, he brought Xue Xi to the foot of the mountain. The wind blew past their ears and their hair fluttered. Their loose clothes were rustling from the wind.
“Tsk!”
Just as she reached the foot of the mountain, a violent explosion suddenly erupted on the mountain.
Jing Fei paused and brought Xue Xi to a stop in the air. Xue Xi turned around and saw the mountaintop burning and emitting flames.
Jing Fei shouted angrily, “Shit! They actually brought weapons!”
Xue Xi did not have the time to ask what organization these people were from. She could only say, “Hurry and help them!”
Jing Fei then turned to look at Xue Xi. “Then Sister Xi, you…”
“I can go back to the campus by myself.”
Jing Fei fell silent for a moment before slowly landing and placing her at the foot of the mountain. “Alright, Sister Xi, you must go back to the campus. I’ll help them!”
Xue Xi nodded.
When Jing Fei soared into the sky again and rushed to the top of the mountain, Xue Xi stood rooted to the ground.
She turned to look at the mountaintop again.
