In the evening,
He Li finished his meal at the Spiritual Management Association and returned home. After taking a shower, he sat on the sofa, preparing to watch some TV.
Xiao Yue appeared on the sofa on the other side.
Immediately after,
Jin Fang, Chen Sui, Yan Ping, Li Qin, and He Xi all emerged.
The small sofa was filled, and He Xi, with nowhere to sit, sat on the television, her calves dangling.
Everyone was present except for He Jun. The last time everyone was this complete was in the director's office of the mental hospital, discussing whether to join the Spiritual Management Association.
He Li swallowed. Was this going to be a family meeting? They had argued last time and almost came to blows. If He Jun hadn't suddenly appeared and made the final decision for him to join the Spiritual Management Association, Susan might have been in trouble, but the old director would have certainly passed his seventh day of mourning.
He Li glanced at the serious faces of everyone, picked up the water glass on the table,
And took a tactical sip of water.
Jin Fang looked at He Li with a half-smile, then turned to Xiao Yue and snorted.
Chen Sui tidied his clothes, then crossed his arms, ignoring everyone, and closed his eyes as if dozing.
Li Qin continued to sigh, helplessly spreading his hands at He Li, as if to convey his stance: he didn't want to be here, and he didn't want to have a meeting.
As for He Xi, she jumped down from the television, grabbed He Li's phone, ran into the bedroom, and lay on the bed playing mobile games.
Xiao Yue adjusted his glasses.
"The fact that Susan discovered my use of abilities was within my expectations. My intention was to test whether Susan would make any moves against He Li after knowing that He Li had other abilities. Clearly, judging by Susan's performance this afternoon, she has not made any further moves against He Li."
As the initiator of this meeting, and Mr. Jin Fang, who had long disliked the cold and detached Xiao Yue,
He asked:
"Are you sure it wasn't because you were negligent and misused your abilities, and that's how Susan discovered you? Or, perhaps, you simply didn't know Susan was watching you from the building opposite."
Jin Fang sneered, "So... you've bypassed your own mistake? And directly offered an excuse to shut us up."
Xiao Yue calmly replied, "This is not a mistake. Everything is within my control."
"Tsk..." Jin Fang scoffed, "I can't believe your nonsense, Xiao Yue. You clearly didn't consider He Li's safety."
Jin Fang turned his gaze to Chen Sui, who was united in his dislike for Xiao Yue, and asked, "What's your opinion?"
Chen Sui slowly opened his eyes and said calmly, "Kill that woman, then kill everyone..."
"Enough, you can shut up now." Jin Fang waved his hand and sighed, thinking he was an idiot for asking someone whose mind was only filled with 'kill, kill, kill' for an opinion.
"What about Uncle Li?"
Li Qin slowly looked up, his sleepy eyes sweeping over everyone, and sighed, "Whatever happens, happens..."
"Alright, Uncle Li, you can go to sleep."
Jin Fang's gaze fell on Yan Ping, his last hope for judging Xiao Yue.
Yan Ping straightened his back, coughed twice, and said solemnly, "I believe it's highly possible that He Li has been discovered by Susan, but she hasn't done anything to him. Furthermore, she knows the secret that He Li is an Awakened. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
After much thought,
There is only one possibility..."
Everyone's gaze focused on him.
Yan Ping was pleased with their attention, then took a deep breath and said gravely, "That possibility is, Susan likes He Li!"
Damn it!
Hell!
What the hell!
Everyone was exasperated. They had been foolish to expect Yan Ping to say something serious.
"Hey!" Yan Ping became anxious.
"Don't you believe me? Susan is also an older single woman. They say thirty is like a wolf, and forty is like a tiger. When a woman reaches that age, it's normal for her to desire a man. Moreover, He Li is young and strong, with a robust physique, at the age where he can break through steel plates. Isn't this... *muffled sounds*... *muffled sounds*..."
Xiao Yue lowered his hand, which had been exerting telekinetic force, and continued, "Don't worry, I have my reasons for doing this. He Li's spiritual power is progressing rapidly, so there's no need to worry.
But the gene lock is a big problem.
Think about your abilities, think about the abilities of those two surnamed He.
When will He Li be able to unlock the next stage of his gene lock?
The only way now is to increase his frequency of using our abilities, thereby tempering his mental power."
"We can't just keep him hidden and not unlock his gene lock, can we? Are we really going to let He Li walk with only one leg?"
"This test was very dangerous. At least currently, Susan's abilities are beyond what any of us can match. But after our last conversation, Susan's objective is very clear: she will protect He Li. At least, until He Li truly touches the threshold of cultivation, she will protect him.
Susan also has her own agenda.
This is normal. She needs He Li, and that's a good thing. It's a transaction.
If she didn't need He Li, and her kindness and protection were without reason, that would be the real danger."
He Li listened to the two big shots discussing his personal safety, remaining silent. He took a tactical sip of water, then... watched TV.
He Li's Ah Q mentality even made him feel they were making a big fuss. So what if he was exposed? With He Jun, who would dare challenge me?
Who's not convinced? Bring out He Jun!
Xiao Yue's explanation had clearly convinced Jin Fang. In this meeting, only Jin Fang and Xiao Yue were speaking seriously. It wasn't that the others didn't care about He Li, but rather that they themselves were indifferent to these matters.
One was absent, one was playing games, one was all about killing, one was emo, and one was full of witty remarks.
The ones who were actually thinking were Jin Fang and Xiao Yue, even though they disliked each other.
He Li put down his water glass and sighed softly. This life was too damn chaotic.
"Then, from now on, He Li will primarily use Uncle Li's abilities. When there are no people around, or when he's on a solo mission, he can use our abilities to train.
Alright, the meeting is adjourned!"
No one paid attention to the person concerned. They all disappeared one by one. Finally, Xiao Yue stood up, pulling the still "shut up" Yan Ping, and disappeared.
He Li nodded, "I, the host, declare the first family meeting a complete success."
Then he stood up and returned to his room.
"Xiao Xi, what game are you playing? Why are you only on the second level?"
"Is it a match-three game? I'm good at this, let me help you..."
Three hours later...
"Damn it! I'm not playing anymore!"
...
East Suburban Cemetery.
Black smoke drifted from a tombstone, gradually forming a human shape that stood on the tombstone.
"So, this is what it feels like to become a dried corpse... Heh heh..."
