Fang Qingdai recounted to Mao Min in detail what she had seen when she sneaked into Li Weidong's office—his shock and disbelief at Xiao Mao's activation of his superpower.
Upon hearing this, Mao Min's face turned ashen: "The reason I just told you that was because I had doubts about the energy nest detection results for Xiao Mao!"
In fact, the base already possessed the means to detect energy nests.
However, each test consumes a lot of resources, and ordinary people simply cannot afford to get tested.
Furthermore, even if an energy nest is detected, it only means that the person has a high probability of activating superpowers, not 100%.
The absence of any trace of an energy nest during testing only serves to discourage people from pursuing the idea.
Therefore, unless a family is particularly wealthy or powerful, they would not waste resources on testing their child.
Mao Min had conducted several tests on Xiao Mao, but she never dared to tell him the results, fearing that the greater his expectations, the greater his disappointment.
They were both in cahoots with Mao Ling, who tricked Xiao Mao into going for a medical check-up under the pretense.
She just didn't expect that while she and Mao Ling were deceiving Xiao Mao, others were also deceiving them!
Fang Qingdai frowned: "It's not necessarily that the testing personnel are lying to you."
Mao Min suddenly looked up at Fang Qingdai and asked her what she meant by those words.
Fang Qingdai asked, "Do you think there's any way to destroy a person's energy nest?"
Or, we could simply strip away the energy nest!
Could it be that when that organization steals other people's superpowers, they strip away their energy cores?
The higher the level of superpower, the deeper the energy nest takes root, becoming completely integrated with the superpowered individual, making it virtually impossible to separate, like Jing Yi.
For young children whose superpowers have not yet been activated, their energy nests may not be able to fully activate their superpowers. It also depends on the situation when the energy is extracted and implanted into someone else's body. Therefore, it is not very appropriate to use young children as test subjects.
In conclusion, those who have already activated their superpowers, but whose superpower levels are not particularly high, are actually the most suitable to be test subjects.
But before that organization could figure out this pattern, it would definitely need to experiment with test subjects to draw conclusions.
So it's very possible that Xiao Mao was subjected to an experiment involving the removal of his energy nest by Li Weidong's organization during his childhood. Otherwise, why would Li Weidong be so shocked that Xiao Mao had activated his superpowers?
After expressing her speculation, Mao Min became extremely agitated.
"How could he? How dare he! Xiao Mao is his own son, that beast!"
Mao Min was extremely agitated; her skinny arms trembled uncontrollably as she vented her anger and cried uncontrollably.
Fang Qingdai saw her helplessness and anger, and quickly stepped forward to put her arm around her, gently patting her back to comfort her: "Don't get agitated, don't get agitated, this is just my guess, and the truth may not be as I say!"
"Maybe Li Weidong was just so shocked when he found out Xiao Mao had activated his superpowers because he knew you had tested Xiao Mao and knew he didn't have an energy nest in his body?"
Fang Qingdai wanted to slap him.
They just can't shake the habit of "reasonable speculation." Speculating is one thing, but they always love to analyze it in front of the people involved.
Now I'm at a loss for how to appease her.
Fortunately, Qingluan saw this and sensibly stepped forward to take Mao Min's trembling hand, gently comforting and coaxing her. After a while, Mao Min finally calmed down.
She grabbed Fang Qingdai's arm, her eyes calm and resolute: "Qingdai, you must help your aunt find out the truth. If Li Weidong really did that to Xiao Mao, I will never let him go, even if it means my death!"
As she spoke, Mao Min took off a necklace from her neck: "This necklace is the patriarch's token of the Mao family. Take it to the White Tiger Base and find a person named Mao Yun. She has a team of guards that my father trained. They are all level 5 ability users, a total of thirty people. They will be a great help!"
Fang Qingdai was stunned!
Level 5, 30!
Don't be fooled by the fact that Fang Qingdai's team is made up of level 5 ability users. You should know that she, as a level 5 ability user, is capable of serving as a team leader!
A team of thirty elite level-five ability users can make a name for themselves anywhere!
"No, you have such a team, how come you've been suppressed by Li Weidong for so many years?"
Fang Qingdai wanted to slap herself as soon as she finished speaking!
Why do you always keep poking at people's sore spots?
Mao Min didn't feel offended, but just smiled bitterly: "That's the last force my father left behind, the last trump card I have. They can snatch me from Li Weidong, but they will inevitably suffer heavy losses. At that time, I will have nothing left for Xiao Mao."
That's true. Li Weidong is, after all, the leader of the superpowered squad at the Xuanwu Base. No matter how powerful his elite 30-person squad is, they can't turn the base upside down.
If Mao Min's health is fine, then so be it. At worst, she can live alone in the wilderness with her sister, children, and team afterward.
Given Mao Min's former boldness, she certainly wouldn't be afraid.
But her body is weak, Mao Ling is only a healing-type ability user, and Xiao Mao is still young. Even if they manage to break out, they probably won't survive.
That's why Mao Min gave away her trump card; she probably wanted to keep it for Xiao Mao to use later.
Now she's revealing her hand, partly because she was provoked by Li Weidong, and partly because she feels that now that she's left the base, Xiao Maomao Ling is no longer a burden and can do things freely.
Fang Qingdai solemnly accepted the pendant and said seriously, "I will give the pendant to Xiao Mao and help him take control of this power."
Although he was a close confidant of the Mao family, he wasn't under her direct control. After so many years apart, Fang Qingdai even doubted whether he still recognized his original master.
She didn't dare to ask aloud, lest she hurt Mao Min's feelings; she only silently thought that she must help Xiao Mao solve this problem.
If something cannot be used for your own purposes, you must get rid of it to avoid being bitten in return.
But Mao Min firmly shook her head: "No, Xiao Mao is not capable of controlling this force, and neither is Mao Ling."
"I want to hand over this power to you!"
Fang Qingdai's eyes widened immediately: "No, I'm even less capable. What kind of business is it to hand over your Mao family's team to me?"
Not only was the name and word not legitimate, but the pressure was also immense. Fang Qingdai was unwilling to accept it!
Mao Min said, "Don't worry, I can guarantee their loyalty. They are all orphans adopted by my father. They used to eat, live, train, and reclaim wasteland with me. Our relationship is like that of brothers and sisters. They will not have any ulterior motives."
“If you use this force well, it can definitely help you open up a new territory in this wasteland. If Xiao Mao and Mao Ling can’t control it, you can. You can take it and use it. With you protecting them, I can feel at ease about them.”
"I believe in you too. Once Xiao Mao has grown enough to control this force, you can return him to him!"
Fang Qingdai felt a lump in her throat and her heart burn with warmth at the sight of that unwavering trust.
What did she do to deserve meeting Xiao Mao's family? They have been helping Fang Qingdai grow up without expecting anything in return.
Fang Qingdai thought to herself, "It was worth it to get to know this brother!"
