Chapter 447 Gu Wanwan Lets Free Herself!
The entire crowd was completely silent; not a single person was talking loudly. Compared to the usual market opening scenes, the atmosphere was eerily quiet.
Everyone was afraid that if they made a mistake, they might anger Yan Xin and his gang, and end up like the people from Pan Shi. If that happened, they would be left with no one to turn to for help.
A sense of awe permeated the air, weighing heavily on everyone's heart...
Si Sheng, Jin Xiao, Lin Shuang, Hu Jiao, and others, along with the members of the Starlight Base, lined up orderly to enter the 'Flame Heart' market.
As soon as they stepped into the trading area, their eyes involuntarily darted around, as if searching for some figure, their eyes filled with obvious anticipation.
However, when they saw the situation in the checkout area, a hint of disappointment flashed across the faces of all four of them...
In the settlement area, only Chi Yi, Sang Che, and Sang Yan remained.
Chi Yi stood in the shadows of a corner, arms crossed, like a silent and reliable stone statue, his eyes scanning the settlement area and every corner around it.
Sang Yan sat behind the settlement counter, her expression focused, meticulously checking the number of crystal cores collected.
Meanwhile, Sang Che was at a table to the side, sorting out a list of supplies that needed to be replenished or had already been traded that day. Every now and then, he would look up and whisper a few words to Sang Yan to confirm something.
As for Lu Nange, Lu Xici, Chi Yanzhou, Gu Qi, He Zhuo, Shi Xu, and others... they have long since disappeared without a trace.
Si Sheng's gaze swept around the market again and again before finally turning away sadly.
Jin Xiao patted him on the shoulder: "Asheng, there's still a chance. At least we didn't kill you today, and you even helped us!"
Si Sheng glanced at him, his back teeth clenching...
Lin Shuang and Hu Jiao exchanged a glance, both unable to hide their disappointment. They had originally hoped to see Lu Nange again today.
Meanwhile, in the courtyard of the Lu family villa at the Flameheart Base, a scene of jubilation unfolded.
Not long ago, Lu Beiye had already notified his older sister, Gu Wan, Luo Xingyou, and Ji Xian via walkie-talkie that they had all successfully advanced and had come out of the room!
When Lu Nange and her group returned home from the market, Lu Beiye, who had heard the commotion, picked up Zhizhi and, together with Gu Wan and the others, excitedly came to greet them.
"Nan Nan!" Gu Wan was the first to rush up and hug Lu Nange tightly, her voice filled with excitement and a choked sob of relief.
"Sisters, I reached level 5! Waaaaah... I finally did it! I'll never hold you back again! I can fight alongside you now!"
Lu Nange: "When has Sister Wanwan ever held us back? We've always fought side by side. Sister Wanwan has always been incredibly strong! Terrifyingly strong!"
Gu Wan chuckled: "That's right... I'm terrifyingly strong!"
Luo Xingyou stepped forward, her face beaming with a bright smile: "Nannan, Sister Wenqing, I've also broken through to level five!"
Ji Xian nodded in agreement: "Me too."
"Great!" He Zhuo cheered and patted Ji Xian's shoulder hard: "Congratulations! Now our team is even stronger!"
Then if we go to Panshi tomorrow, wouldn't that be another sure win? Haha!
Gu Wan was burying her face in Lu Nange's shoulder and rubbing against him affectionately, like a spoiled kitten.
Upon hearing the word "rock," she abruptly raised her head, her eyes widening instantly and sparkling with excitement.
"Rock? We're going to Rock tomorrow? For what? To fight?"
She spoke rapidly, instantly becoming incredibly energetic. The感慨 (feelings of joy or excitement) of her successful advancement were long forgotten, and her attention was completely captivated by the three words "go to the rock".
Gu Qi looked at his energetic and mischievous younger sister and sighed helplessly, "Well... I'm telling you, let go of Nan Nan first, and stop teasing her."
"I won't! It's none of your business when it comes to us beauties!" Gu Wan hugged Lu Nange even tighter, clinging to him like a koala, and urged him on.
"Hey, you surnamed Gu, just tell me already! Stop beating around the bush!"
Gu Qi narrowed his eyes, his tone warning: "Gu Wanwan...are you looking for a beating?"
Sensing the danger in her brother's tone, Gu Wan immediately changed her expression, putting on a flattering smile and speaking in a voice so sweet it could kill.
"Brother, elder brother, dear elder brother, I was wrong... Please tell me! Please tell me quickly!"
He Zhuo: [His ability to change his expression so quickly is astonishing!]
Gu Qi: "Today, a group from Pan Shi caused trouble at the entrance of our base. The leader even tried to incite the crowd, but we cleared them out on the spot. So..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Wan let out a frustrated scream: "Ahhh! What did I miss?!"
Someone came to cause trouble and I missed it! And right in front of our house! How could I miss out on such a 'good thing'!
She grabbed Lu Nange's arm and shook it: "Quick, tell me the whole story, the details!"
He Zhuo immediately pushed his way forward, spitting as he spoke: "Let me do it! Let me tell you, today was amazing! Those guys..."
He embellished the story, vividly recounting how Lu Nange slapped Huang Pan away and how he verbally provoked Huang Pan to the point of vomiting blood...
After He Zhuo finished speaking, Gu Wan rubbed her hands together, looking regretful: "What a pity! The market has been open for so long, I've been waiting for someone to come looking for trouble..."
Why did it have to happen when I was leveling up...?
As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something and gritted her teeth, saying, "And that bastard Si Sheng, he got another day to live!"
Seeing his sister's eager expression, Gu Qi poured cold water on her enthusiasm, reminding her, "His leg is no longer lame, and he can move around without any problems."
Moreover, he's been at level five for some time now, and his foundation is probably more solid than yours. You've just advanced, and you might not stand a chance against him.
Gu Wan: "Hey! Gu Qi! What's wrong with you? Am I still your sister? Why are you boosting others' morale while belittling your own? You're already saying I can't beat you before we've even started fighting?"
Gu Qi wore a serious expression that said, "I'm doing this for your own good." He continued, "I'm telling you to face reality and not let the advancement cloud your judgment or cause you to act impulsively, lest you suffer the consequences!"
"What's there to be afraid of!" Gu Wan grabbed Lu Nange's arm, raised her chin triumphantly, and spoke with blind confidence: "I have powerful backers! Nan Nan, A Ye, Yan Ge, and Shi Xu are all Level 6. I wouldn't be afraid even if a hundred Si Shengs came!"
Gu Qi's temples throbbed as he looked at her smug expression: "...I think you and He Zhuo are practically twins! You're exactly the same!"
Gu Wan immediately bristled: "Brother, who are you insulting?"
He Zhuo, standing to the side, was also displeased: "Gu Qi, who are you insulting?"
Gu Wan immediately turned her gun on him, clenching her fists: "No, He Zhuo, what do you mean? Is it something shameful to be born of the same mother as me?"
He Zhuo: "Keep your voice down. Being born of the same mother as you, is that something to be proud of?..."
Gu Wan: "He...Zhuo..."
