Chapter 889: Chi Xing, tricked
When Gu Ran found them, they were eating, and the food they were eating was all the best stuff they could find there, and they were drinking the finest tea! Why go back to the base?
Seeing Gu Ran approach, Chi Xing immediately made room for her: "Sit here! So, what did Sister Ayin say? When are you leaving? Do you need me to take some good food back for her? I can pack it up for you!"
Gu Ran looked at her irritably: "The way you're talking, you can't wait to pack me up and leave right now, can you? Well, you're going to be disappointed. I don't need to go back."
Chi Xing paused, her hand still holding the banana. "You don't need to go back? Then who will?"
Gu Ran calmly sipped her tea and said, "What do you think?"
Chi Xing: "...What do you mean? Me?"
Gu Ran remained silent.
Chi Xing looked at Xiao Sheng, who waved his hand to indicate he didn't know. Chi Xing then looked at Jin Wanli: "Senior, it's you! You're more capable than any of us! They must be calling you back!"
"Pfft! Cough cough cough cough! Sorry! Cough cough cough!" Xiao Sheng was startled by Chi Xing's boldness!
Jin Wanli paused in his tea-drinking gesture, then looked at Chi Xing: "Are you sure you're talking about me?"
Chi Xing: "...I'm not sure, let me ask! Xiao Sheng, give me the phone!"
Xiao Sheng immediately handed over his phone.
Gu Yin was still pondering Gu Ran's refusal of the pills when the phone rang again. Seeing that it was Xiao Sheng again, she immediately answered.
"So, have you decided when you're coming back? I'm telling you, nothing from the Great White Mountain is as good as the pills I make! If you come back and help, I'll give you two pills, the ones you took during your tribulation. You're short on spiritual energy, right? These pills will last you for a while! Are you coming back or not!"
Before Chi Xing could even speak, he exclaimed, "...Five! Five, deal! I'll be right back!"
Gu Yin: "...Chi Xing?"
"It's me! I'll go back after five!"
Gu Yin blinked: "Two at most! I'm out!"
"Then I'm not going back! Let Gu Ran go back! This is my first time out, she's already been out twice! Let her go back this time! It's fair! That's it!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone in a huff.
"We have to go back again! I've only been out for a short time! I haven't even had enough fun and food yet! This is too much! Asking for five pills wouldn't be unreasonable at all! Sister Ayin won't agree! Humph!"
Gu Ran's eyes flashed upon hearing this. She put down her teacup and coughed lightly, "She gave me one just now, and I didn't reply. Now I'm giving you two. If you don't accept them, two isn't out of the question for me... How about I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chi Xing called again: "Three! Three, I'll be right back! No less!"
Gu Yin raised an eyebrow. "Is this some kind of freebie coming to my door?"
"Okay, but let's make this clear first, you have to stay a few more days! You can't just come back and leave! By the way, when you come back, just wait for me at the training ground over there in the square." Gu Yin looked a little embarrassed.
Chi Xing nodded: "Got it, alright, I'm hanging up now. Get the pills ready!"
After hanging up the phone, Chi Xing looked at Gu Ran: "Are you leaving or not? I'll give you one!"
Gu Ran neither refused nor agreed: "How will you get back?"
Chi Xing narrowed her eyes, her face immediately breaking into a smile as she looked sweetly at Jin Wanli: "Senior Jin~ Grandpa Jin~ Could you please take me home? You're the best! Please take me home, okay~"
Upon hearing this, Jin Wanli put down his teacup: "One pill."
Chi Xing's smile immediately vanished: "I only have three. If I give you one more, I'll only have two left. I might as well let Gu Ran go. Grandpa Jin, you have no use for these things. Can't I keep them for myself?"
"It's no use for you to have it now. Give me one, or I won't go." Jin Wanli said calmly.
It's true that the pills aren't very useful to Chi Xing right now, but she doesn't need them right now. She has to save them. What if she goes to another world and becomes some random little creature again, and gets separated from Gu Yin again? What will she do without spiritual power? Having pills at least provides some protection! It's better to be safe than sorry!
Fine, one is fine too!
"Okay, here you go. Now take me home, and remember to bring me back with you! Round trip!"
Jin Wanli was fearless and teased the younger generation, which made the boring days less boring.
"Let's go."
Chi Xing stood up and saw that Xiao Sheng and Gu Ran also stood up. She understood that Xiao Sheng wanted to go with them, but what did Gu Ran mean by that?
Why are you getting up?
Gu Ran raised an eyebrow: "I'll go too, one pill." What a joke! She'd only get one pill then! All that work for nothing!
Gu Ran frowned: "How about I talk to Gu Yin and ask if I'll agree to go back with just one pill?"
Chi Xing: "...You win! Let's go!"
Afraid of upsetting her, Gu Ran smiled and said, "When we get to the base, we'll ask Gu Yin for a few more, and I'll help you."
Chi Xing's eyes lit up: "Deal!"
Xiao Sheng said something to Li Dalong beside him, and then, to Li Dalong's shocked expression, the four of them disappeared on the spot!
Even though he already knew these people were not simple, Li Dalong was still very shocked to see them disappear on the spot. He stood there stunned for a while before he came to his senses and immediately went to report.
base.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yin went straight to the square. She knew that Senior Jin knew the Shrinking Earth Technique, and if she went there now, they might already be there.
On the training ground, Lan Yan was giving these people physical training. Although they knew all sorts of martial arts techniques, they were still lacking in physical fitness. In Lan Yan's opinion, if these people were to become his partners, there would still be a lot of training to go on.
"Didn't you all claim to be the prized disciples of reclusive families? How come you're already giving up after only two hours? Bai Xiaobai! If you cheat with talismans again, you're out of the running and going home! We can have weaklings here, but we can't have people with questionable character!"
Bai Xiaobai quickly threw away the weight-loss talisman! "Coach, can we take a break?! My legs are about to break! Or can we remove the metal plates from my body? 60 pounds on each side! Two hours! Even a horse needs a rest! We…!!!! Oh my god! What is this?! No, the enemy has invaded the base!!"
