The three women gathered around the dining table and ate breakfast in silence, and no one spoke any more.
Xu Xianxian was thinking about something, and since her master didn't say anything, Li Leilei, as a subordinate, naturally kept silent.
As for Chu Yaoyao, her pair of dark eyes were rolling around behind her black-framed glasses, and she kept glancing at the black-haired loli next to her out of the corner of her eyes.
She really couldn't understand why a loli who looked like an elementary school student was the boss of such a powerful Sister Leilei.
"I'm not an elementary school student."
When Chu Yaoyao was puzzled, the black-haired loli next to her suddenly said something, which scared the girl so much that her right hand trembled and the chopsticks in her hand almost fell under the table.
Chu Yaoyao was shocked when her thoughts were seen through: "Oh my god... can you read minds?"
Xu Xianxian lowered her head and took a bite of the fried dough stick. After chewing and swallowing it carefully, she looked at the other person calmly and said, "Yes, I can."
The thoughts of creatures weaker than her can be easily sensed by her, and even intercepted and contaminated.
Chu Yaoyao has only been awakened for a few months. Even though she is gifted, she has just stepped into the threshold of the virtual realm, so any thoughts and ideas cannot escape her perception.
"Is it so mysterious?"
Chu Yaoyao put down her bowl and chopsticks, completely losing her appetite. She just looked at Xu Xianxian with a vigilant and cautious look.
This is human beings' instinctive fear of the unknown.
Xu Xianxian looked at the other person carefully for a while and found that the girl had really lost her memory after being kicked last time and had no memory of her at all.
"How old are you this year?"
Xu Xianxian asked casually.
"Not even seventeen yet."
This question was a bit strange. Chu Yaoyao showed a puzzled expression, but still told the truth.
"Didn't you have a romantic relationship in middle school?"
Xu Xianxian raised her eyebrows.
"No..." Chu Yaoyao was confused and asked repeatedly: "Why are you asking this?"
What a weird question.
If it weren't for the fact that this loli was Sister Leilei's boss, she would have cursed her out, "Are you sick?"
"You..." Xu Xianxian laughed, and stretched out her delicate pink fingers, as if pinching a thin red thread from the other person: "You like Li Leilei, right?"
"Uh..." Chu Yaoyao's expression was a little confused at first, and then she was shocked as if struck by lightning. She shook her head repeatedly and denied it: "Sister Lei Lei is like my sister, how could I have such an idea?"
However, when she said this, she subconsciously raised her head and glanced at Chu Yaoyao's expression. Seeing that the other party was eating breakfast unmoved, as if she had not heard the conversation at all, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But beyond that, there's a sense of loss.
"Oh."
Xu Xianxian glanced at the blush on the other person's face, sneered playfully, and then continued to focus on the breakfast in her hand without saying anything else.
The best food in the world does not necessarily require noble ingredients, skilled chefs, or profound recipes. Sometimes, these common home-cooked dishes are the ones that accompany the general public the longest.
Xu Xianxian can survive without eating, but eating on time can help her regain the feeling of being a human being.
Even if this feeling is short-lived.
After Li Leilei finished her breakfast, she raised her head and glanced at the door. After looking for a while, she turned her gaze to Xu Xianxian with an expression as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
There were people coming and going around her, and she had been approached by diners before, but after the master stepped into the restaurant, many people present ignored them.
Even the diners who passed by behind them didn't even look at them.
Xu Xianxian didn't react to Li Leilei's hesitation. Instead, she finished her hot and sour noodles leisurely, took out a tissue, wiped her lips, and said, "Leilei, what do you want to ask?"
Li Leilei nodded, then shook her head, and then slowly said, "Master, what should I do next?"
She did not dwell on the doubts in front of her, but asked Xu Xianxian about her future plans.
"After a while, you will take Chu Yaoyao with you and leave Luogong City. Then, head east along the coastline to Chixia City." Even in a crowded place with many people watching, Xu Xianxian did not lower her voice at all. "If nothing unexpected happens, this Luogong City will fall into our hands. But our Black Tower's target is not just a human city."
Chu Yaoyao, who was standing next to him, was really frightened when she heard these words, but then she felt a sense of absurdity.
Luogong City is, after all, a huge fortified city with a population of over one million. Although this size would have been just a small county town before the war of destruction, in this dark age, there are only a few fortified cities in the entire Eurasian continent, and Luogong City is considered the largest one.
Not to mention the many powerful people in the ruling department, even from the news you see on a daily basis, you can understand the background of this strong city.
Why? It just fell into your hands?!
Just when Chu Yaoyao thought it was just some elementary school kid's nonsense, Li Leilei beside her nodded obediently: "Okay, Master, I understand."
Sister Leilei, what do you understand?
Chu Yaoyao felt that she was too tired to complain and rolled her eyes. However, because she was frightened by the questions about love and liking just now, she knew what to do and didn't continue to interrupt.
"Chu Yaoyao, you have amazing power. You need to develop it yourself, understand?" The girl didn't say anything, but Xu Xianxian redirected the conversation: "Don't let me down in your cultivation."
"???" Chu Yaoyao couldn't hold it in any longer. She asked in confusion, "What did you cultivate in me?"
It was clearly the first time we met, so why was there any talk of cultivation? It was as if the other person was your leader.
"Who do you think saved you from a bunch of monsters? Just with your mediocre kung fu?" Xu Xianxian glanced at Chu Yaoyao casually before slowly saying, "So that you could survive, I even sent my most important subordinate to protect you closely."
"I don't care what you think. Now is not the time to indulge in girlish innocence. You have far more enemies than you can imagine. If you don't have any awareness, you will be devoured by death sooner or later."
"I...you..."
Chu Yaoyao had never thought about these questions. After hearing what Xu Xianxian said, she subconsciously wanted to refute something, but after opening her mouth, she still said nothing.
She used to be just an ordinary student, never left school, and lived in a relatively peaceful environment. After her mother's tragic death, her life was hopeless until she met Li Leilei, and she regained her vitality.
"Keep working hard and unleash the power within you. It won't be impossible for you to surpass Lei Lei in the future."
Xu Xianxian continued.
In her eyes, a thin red line of emotion was spreading out from Chu Yaoyao's chest, wrapping around Li Leilei awkwardly, but not getting closer, but being isolated.
