Shui Mingjun’s vibe was sensed from not far away from Sky Fire Base, as Lin Qiao was expecting.
“I guess you’ve decided to sort things out with Yan Huiguang, haven’t you?” As Shui Mingjun showed up before her eyes, she looked at him and asked.
Shui Mingjun looked around. Apart from the mysterious lady, over ten other people were on the scene, and none of them smelled like a human.
“I thought you’d go back to All Beings Base after throwing Sky Fire Base into chaos, and yet you came here. Are you interested in that level-nine superpowered man too?” Shui Mingjun said to her expressionlessly.
Lin Qiao gave him a small, fake smile, then responded to him with a peaceful tone, “That is a level-nine energy nucleus. Everyone would be interested in that.”
The man was the first level-nine superpower possessor in the country. If he didn’t have the psychological issue, and if Lan Lu and his people were a little more ambitious than they really were, Si Kongchen probably wouldn’t be the head of Huaxia Base by now, and Huaxia Base might not be the strongest base in the country.
If that happened, the overall situation of the country would be completely different.
He had fallen into an uncontrollable condition, and no one could stop him. The ambitious people would certainly seek for opportunities to kill him. Whoever attained his nucleus would have a bigger chance of breaking into level-nine.
Lin Qiao made a trip to Green Mountain Base, not only to deal with Yan Huiguang, who had known who she really was, but also to keep him from attacking the level-nine man. Of course, she did not plan to let Si Kongchen seize an opportunity to hurt the level-nine man either. No one knew what Si Kongchen might do if he attained the level-nine nucleus.
He was obviously very ambitious, and he never even tried to hide his ambition.
The first thing she did was to finish off Li Zhengye in Sky Fire Base, and the second was to take care of Yan Huiguang. So next, as her third mission, Lin Qiao prepared to take a look at the level-nine man and also find out about the recent actions of Huaxia Base people. She might be able to find some news about Huaxia Base in this way.
Hearing her answer, Shui Mingjun nodded as he looked around and asked, “Have you waken Yan Huiguang up yet?”
Lin Qiao spent a short while looking at him quietly, then replied, “Are you ready to meet him?”
If she weren’t sure that Shui Mingjun and Yan Huiguang were just close friends, she would think of them as a pair of miserable lovers.
Yan Huiguang did have a special feeling for Shui Mingjun though. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have spared Shui Mingjun’s life for so many times. Deep down, he was still worried about Shui Mingjun’s safety, but firmly refused to admit it.
Shui Mingjun furrowed his brows which were covered by his hair. “Isn’t that what you want?” he gave Lin Qiao a cold smile and said.
Lin Qiao snorted as she looked at him with discontentment, “You’re making it sound like I’m putting my finger in your pie. I think I should have just killed him.”
Both the men could be really helpful for her, so Lin Qiao felt that killing them would be a waste. Otherwise, she would have long killed Yan Huiguang.
“Do you think that I’m making you do this? Do you feel being forced? Then go and kill Yan Huiguang. He knows something that he shouldn’t know. If he didn’t tell anyone about that, I wouldn’t have hurt him. However, he has leaked the secret already. So, I cannot let him get away easily,” Lin Qiao said blandly, then turned and disappeared in front of Shui Mingjun.
A short while later, she showed up again together with Yan Huiguang.
Shui Mingjun popped his eyes with surprise. He did not know that the mysterious lady had space power. Earlier, he heard that she had poisonous mist and poisonous fire, and now, she turned out to possess space power too.
How many superpowers did she have?
Did she have three different types of superpowers? No one with three different types of power was heard of so far.
But at the sight of Shui Mingjun, Yan Huiguang pulled a long face. He had always been wearing a sulky face though, so no obvious change of expression could be detected from his face. Unlike him, Shui Mingjun reacted strongly. He was shocked by Lin Qiao’s space power and the sudden appearance of Yan Huiguang.
“Oh, you are still alive. You spent a year to develop that zombie drug, but it doesn’t seem so effective.” Shui Mingjun automatically gathered his power in his palms once he saw Yan Huiguang and also started to tease the man.
“Are you disappointed to know that I’m still alive?” Yan Huiguang looked at Shui Mingjun from head to toe and then responded to him scornfully.
Standing aside, Lin Qiao watched the two start an unfriendly conversation once they had eyes on each other. Shui Mingjun was even preparing to attack. She looked at them and said, “Great! Whatever questions you have for each other, ask them now. When you guys done, I’ll start looking for Green Mountain Base.”
Yan Huiguang and Shui Mingjun turned to look at her together and said coldly in one voice, “We have no questions for each other.”
Despite their language, they had already told Lin Qiao that they would be following her, and that she could take them anywhere she wanted. So, Lin Qiao looked at the two weird men speechlessly.
The fact that those two men had known she had a secret space didn’t make her worry. She could read Shui Mingjun’s mind clearly. If he wanted to tell that to anyone else, she would know once the thought popped up in his head. As for Yan Huiguang, she was not so sure actually.
She could only sense his shallow thoughts, but not the ones deep in his heart.
It didn’t matter though as he knew her biggest secret already. Letting him know another secret of hers wouldn’t hurt her. No trouble would be brought to her as long as she made him join her base. He had a weakness too anyway.
Lin Qiao looked at Yan Huiguang, then at Shui Mingjun. Abruptly, she said to both of them, “You two have such different personalities, but actually look alike.”
Both the men chose to ignore that boring topic she had picked.
“Alright. Since you two don’t want ask each other questions, I’ll do it for you. Consider it as me trying to fulfill my curiosity,” Lin Qiao said smilingly.
Knowing what she would be asking, both Yan Huiguang and Shui Mingjun had themselves prepared. But still, they couldn’t help but have their hearts sink and their vibes change. They unwittingly made eye-contact with each other, then gave each other a cold glare and turned their eyes away simultaneousness.
Seeing the sparks in their eyes, Lin Qiao raised her brows and said, “Okay, I don’t want to know everything that has happened between you two. All I want to know is, Shui Mingjun, what exactly was your relationship with that woman called Xueqing?”
Hearing that name which hadn’t occurred in his mind for a long time, Shui Mingjun paused with surprise before he could react. “What relationship?” He said with confusion, “We were only friends, and she was… Why are you talking about her?”
Lin Qiao observed Yan Huiguang’s expression from the corners of her eyes, then continued, “Before you guys tuned hostile against each other, you and that woman seemed to be in a special relationship. Someone felt that you two didn’t look like normal friends…”
By someone, she was, of course, talking about Yan Huiguang.
