"Me? A business trip?"
He Li looked at Susan, who was sitting opposite him, in surprise.
Susan ignored He Li's astonishment and nodded, explaining, "You've been with the Spirit Management Association for less than a month. Besides your gene lock still being at first tier, your spiritual power has already advanced from level three to level five.
While it's hard to believe, considering you're an Awakened, I don't find it that outrageous.
However, your progress is too rapid, and you'll attract the attention of headquarters. I was wondering what to do about it earlier.
Coincidentally, the Tarim branch is short-handed for the investigation of the Populus Ghostwood and needs support. I want you to go there.
It's not just for the investigation and search for the Populus Ghostwood, but also to evade the sight of headquarters."
He Li complained, "Captain, ninety percent of the world's poplar trees are in our country, and ninety percent of our country's poplar trees are in the Tarim River Basin. Moreover, the Populus Ghostwood looks exactly the same as ordinary poplar trees.
You're asking me to find a Populus Ghostwood that has become sentient in such a vast poplar forest. When will I ever find it?"
Susan watched He Li's complaints calmly. After he finished, she said directly, "Stop acting. What's the point of putting on a show between us?"
He Li chuckled and said, "We still have to go through the motions."
Susan rolled her eyes at He Li, then paused and said, "I do have something to ask of you, which is why I'm helping you so much. I left the Hunter team and came to Binjiang for you, this Awakened."
He Li raised an eyebrow. Was she finally going to reveal everything?
However,
Susan changed the subject, looking at He Li with a solemn expression and said, "I know you suspect my motives and are waiting for me to come clean. You have every reason to suspect me.
Violating regulations to cover for you, protecting you with all my might, and testing if you are a true Awakened several times. I believe you've seen through me.
The tacit understanding that goes without saying ends here.
He Li, your main purpose for going to Tarim this time is not for any Populus Ghostwood, but to avoid the attention of the Spirit Management Association headquarters. The Tarim region is remote and can avoid headquarters to a certain extent. By the time you return, you might already be a sixth-tier or seventh-tier Spirit Warrior.
But rapid advancement during a long-term mission is justifiable."
"When you return, we can talk in detail, and I will propose my conditions to you, conditions within your acceptable range, of course."
Susan paused and looked at He Li seriously, "Because my conditions are very simple for 'God'."
"Agree to her."
"Agree to her."
Before He Li could speak, Jin Fang and Xiao Yue, who had appeared at some unknown time, spoke simultaneously.
He Li's gaze flickered, looking to his left at Xiao Yue, then forward at Jin Fang sitting on Susan's desk. There was no one else. This was the first time these two had appeared together.
However, this also meant that He Li was struggling between his emotions and reason.
But, strangely, Xiao Yue was understandable; he always chose the path most beneficial to He Li. What was going on with Jin Fang? Why was he acting so out of character?
Seeing He Li's strange look, Jin Fang cursed unhappily, "What are you looking at me for? I just like killing people, but I'm not a brainless lunatic like Chen Sui."
Jin Fang speaks ill of Chen Sui +1. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Okay, then when do I leave?" He Li asked.
"Tomorrow morning. I'll have Sister Jiang book your ticket."
"Alright, can you book one more ticket for me?"
Susan was stunned for a moment and asked, "For whom?"
He Li blurted out, "A dog."
Susan was stunned for a long moment before coming to her senses, rubbing her forehead, and saying, "Arrange for pet transport."
"Okay, then I'll go home and pack my bags."
......
......
On the road,
He Li was driving at a steady speed, with Xiao Yue in the passenger seat. Jin Fang, having lost the competition, was kneeling on the hood of the car, facing He Li. This was the main reason He Li was driving at a steady speed.
"Susan has torn down this veil of unspoken understanding. This is a good thing for you; at least she can protect you until you have enough self-preservation ability," Xiao Yue analyzed the current situation.
He Li nodded. It was true that he was very weak now. Of course, he was comparing himself to those gods. Without He Jun and the other seven, he would have been finished that night when he confronted Huo Si.
He Li looked at Jin Fang, who had an indignant expression, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Jin, what are your thoughts on this?"
Jin Fang said, "My thoughts are similar to Xiao Yue's, but the difference is, once you grow strong enough, kill Susan first. If you're interested in her, play with her first before killing her."
He Li directly ignored Jin Fang's tempting suggestion.
Then,
Jin Fang pointed at Xiao Yue and said coldly, "It's not that I can't beat him, I just don't want to damage this car. I'm not as clueless as him. If we were somewhere else, I could beat him until he shits himself."
He Li nodded in understanding and comforted him, "I understand, I understand. Mr. Jin is considering the bigger picture. In terms of combat strength, I think you rank at least second."
Xiao Yue scoffed dismissively.
"He Li, is that what you think?" Li Qin's voice echoed from the back seat.
He Li: "......"
"Really? He Li, do you really think that?" Yan Ping's voice was mournful as he sat on the other side of the back seat.
He Li: "......"
"Hmph, He Li, stop the car at the park ahead. I'm going to kill Jin Fang, that bragging piece of trash."
The clang of Chen Sui drawing his saber echoed from the car roof.
He Li sighed slightly. He felt like a kindergarten principal, praising one and making the others jealous.
"Brother, I'm the most powerful."
He Xi appeared in He Li's arms, pouting aggrievedly, on the verge of tears.
He Li drove slowly with dead fish eyes. On the roof, Jin Fang and Chen Sui were already fighting.
The passenger seat was occupied by someone with a sinister grin.
In the back, one was pulling a sad donkey face, another looked sorrowful as if heartbroken.
And there was a little one in his arms, who probably couldn't be appeased without two ice creams.
Sigh......
Life is hard. He Jun, hurry up and come out to manage them.
In the Spirit Management Association's monitoring room, Min Liang's terrified roar echoed, "Captain! The mental energy detection signal source in He Li's car is about to explode!"
He Li touched his nose. They were discussing important matters just now, weren't they? It seemed... uh... it should be.
