"Shen Han, go and arrange a room for Ouyang. Don't let anyone disturb her; she's a little... too tired."
Leng An exchanged a few words with Shen Han, his gaze lingering on Xie Ke'er for a moment.
Clearly, he was worried that Xie Ke'er would disturb Ouyang Ningxue, so he made arrangements in advance to avoid any trouble.
"I'll make the arrangements. You don't look well, you should go and rest."
Shen Han nodded, looking at Leng An with some concern.
He did look very haggard, perhaps because he hadn't slept well. His eye bags were quite noticeable, and his eyes were bloodshot. His voice was also much lower.
In fact, anyone with eyes can see that Xie Ke'er doesn't really care about Leng An.
After all, Xie Ke'er only acts normally when allocating spirit cores and other resources.
To be honest, among the five of them, Xie Ke'er is the youngest, followed by Leng An.
Before the apocalypse, one was a freshman who had just come of age, and the other was a junior. Jia Tai and Shen Han had both graduated not long ago. The oldest was Ouyang Ningxue, who was exactly one year older than Jia Tai.
However, she rarely speaks; if it weren't for her formidable martial arts skills, she would be completely invisible.
Leng An has memories of two lifetimes, and both Jia Tai and Shen Han are unassuming and uncompetitive, so Xie Ke'er naturally places herself in the position of "group favorite".
This behavior is actually quite foolish. With zombies everywhere and eerie creatures lurking in the shadows, while others are struggling to survive, she's playing a "queen game."
If Leng An hadn't precisely stockpiled enough practical supplies and found several people in the first instance, Xie Ke'er wouldn't have survived long, given her personality.
You said she saved Leng An, and it's true that she's kind, but the problem is that she's not very bright. This kind of kindness is not advisable in the apocalypse.
Leng An has already done more than enough by helping her become a fourth-tier psionicist, a position that most people can only dream of for the time being.
Ouyang Ningxue's words completely woke him up.
The zombie crisis was much more serious than he had imagined, and he didn't have time to argue about those trivial family matters.
Moreover, through these few days of getting along, Xie Ke'er's spoiled and willful nature and unreasonable behavior, compared to Shen Han's understanding nature, made him begin to doubt Xie Ke'er's motives for being with him in his previous life.
The collapse of trust does not happen overnight, but is eroded over many years, with the foundation being destroyed little by little, until one day, it reaches the limit and shatters.
Xie Ke'er felt very wronged, but she didn't say anything. She ran back to her room, slammed the door shut, and locked herself inside.
The loud noise startled Shen Han.
"Should I talk to her? After all, she's only recently turned 18..."
"Don't worry about her. She's a grown woman, why is she acting like a child? She knows she's an adult. I'm already overwhelmed with work, I don't have time to deal with her tantrums."
Leng An interrupted Shen Han, clearly annoyed, and stopped her from going to Xie Ke'er's room.
Shen Han remained silent, only letting out a sigh.
Nobody wants to strain their relationship with someone they see every day, otherwise how will they get along in the future?
Everyone returned to their rooms to do what they were supposed to do.
After lunch, Ouyang Ningxue was still asleep when the villa door was knocked on again.
To be precise, it's a doorbell.
"Is it some kind of day today? Why are so many people looking for us?"
Leng An looked at the doorbell that had been rung, completely puzzled.
Then they saw Li Xuanzu standing in front of the villa's gate with a cold face.
"Li Xuanzu? What brings you here?"
Leng An rushed over, opened the door, and asked.
"It's nothing, just consider it as me coming to catch up with you."
Before Li Xuanzu arrived, he had scanned the villa with his divine sense, but due to the previous "binding of the spirit" causing a load on his divine sense, he had to get closer to investigate clearly.
Since he was already there, Li Xuanzu decided to come in and sit for a while, so he rang the doorbell.
However, this action made Leng An look at Li Xuanzu as if facing a formidable enemy.
To say he was welcoming him would be a lie. After all, he had already heard so much from Ouyang Ningxue that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he understood the truth of the world.
But he was afraid of angering Li Xuanzu, which would be bad for him.
Ouyang Ningxue didn't tell him that Li Xuanzu wouldn't dare kill them, the reborn ones, but her words constantly reminded him of Li Xuanzu's importance.
His existence is the only chance for Earth to survive.
The Heavenly Dao of Blue Star did not tell Ouyang Ningxue the truth, or rather, it could not predict how things would unfold.
Even with His great power, He cannot see into the main timeline and foresee the future. At most, He can have some premonitions and select a few important people to cultivate.
Perhaps Leng An, Ouyang Ningxue, and the other reborn individuals did not know why the Heavenly Dao of Blue Star chose them, but what is certain is that they once led humanity infinitely close to victory in a certain "side story".
"What, you're not welcome?"
Li Xuanzu's voice brought Leng An back to reality.
"No, come in."
Leng An forced a smile and stepped aside to make way for him.
After walking through the secluded courtyard, Li Xuanzu didn't act like an outsider and plopped down on the soft sofa.
"Alright, enough of this nonsense. Tell me what Ouyang Ningxue told you, and what her current situation is."
Li Xuanzu got straight to the point.
He rarely beats around the bush.
"this..."
Leng An was speechless, unsure how to handle the current situation.
"Wow, it seems she really did tell you something. Let me guess, she..."
Just as Li Xuanzu was about to speak, he was interrupted by a voice.
"Wait, Li Xuanzu."
Ouyang Ningxue was standing on the second floor looking down at the two of them, her hand supporting her on the handrail, looking very weak.
They waited quietly for her to come downstairs, and neither of them said a word during this time.
"Some things are none of your business. Knowing them won't do you any good. Do you really have to dig into everything?"
Ouyang Ningxue's steps were unsteady, as if she was forcing herself to speak.
"None of my business? Hah, are you an idiot, or do you think I'm an idiot?"
Li Xuanzu sneered, not believing Ouyang Ningxue's explanation.
"If I told you that knowing you'd die, would you still want to understand everything?"
Ouyang Ningxue replied that she was not afraid of Li Xuanzu.
"Threatening me? You've got more guts than Leng An, but do you really dare to kill me right now? I doubt it."
Li Xuanzu became increasingly emboldened.
The reason he couldn't figure out Ouyang Ningxue's identity as a reincarnated person was because her "past life" was too chaotic, coupled with the interference of the Heavenly Dao of Blue Star, so he dared not draw conclusions too early.
However, he couldn't explain many things at crucial moments, which caused him great distress.
However, his divine sense had strong computational power, and he learned a lot of useful information.
The Heavenly Dao of Blue Star wasn't giving him a chance; rather, it was because He didn't dare to actually kill him directly, so He gave him a symbolic warning each time with much ado about nothing.
In fact, many things would have been difficult to progress without him.
Therefore, he was certain that as long as he didn't touch the key figures, the Heavenly Dao of Blue Star wouldn't turn against him.
He is not only useful, but also a key piece that the Heavenly Dao of Blue Star has to hold onto.
