Chapter 142
Feng Ze was preoccupied with something, so he didn't notice Xi Chen's abnormality immediately, and continued to talk to himself:
"Don't worry, there's nothing I can't tell you. If Liu Qingqing really has any problems, you can tell me and I will do my best to help.
Her condition is very bad now, and she wants to hide her strength. So I want you to talk to her, ask her what she thinks, and try to help her return to normal."
Feng Ze kept talking about having problems and returning to normal, but it was obvious that Liu Qingqing was a normal person. Xi Chen was very annoyed when he heard that.
He knew that he couldn't afford to offend Feng Ze, but Xi Chen still couldn't control himself and interrupted Feng Ze directly:
"Marshal, I think you're tired. I think my daughter is very good and perfectly normal. I respect and support her in whatever decisions she makes. You don't need to interfere."
Feng Ze also noticed that Xi Chen's mood was a little off, but he still spoke:
"How can you indulge her like this? Do you know that you think you're doing her a favor but you're actually harming her? A talent like her should be at the top. You should keep a close eye on her so that her talent isn't wasted."
Xi Chen's face completely sank, and he answered word by word:
"I don't care what talents she has, I just know that she wants things to develop in this direction, so I support her. No matter who she is or how talented she is, I just know that she is my daughter, and I will indulge her unconditionally."
"As for whether you think it will harm her or not, that's not your place to say, Marshal. She's my daughter, and I want her to live a better life more than anyone else. And what you're saying now is nothing more than imposing your own ideas on her!"
"Since she doesn't want to be at the top, I can stay with her and live an ordinary life with her. You're the marshal, and I understand you're considering the entire alliance, but I only want to consider my daughter. No matter what she wants to do, I will stand by her side."
"Marshal, I don't care what you do, but don't try to convince me. I know the alliance is more important than anything else to you, but in my eyes, nothing is more important than my daughter."
Feng Ze was silent. He looked at Xi Chen's determined eyes and felt a little shaken. Xi Chen was right. Liu Qingqing was just a girl with relatively high talent. She was even a few years older than his sister.
But…
Feng Ze raised his eyes and said seriously:
"From what we can see now, the Empire's development is very likely to surpass that of the Alliance, so the Alliance must increase its training of talents. I also know that what I am doing may be very inhumane, but as the Alliance's Marshal, I have my own mission, and I have no choice but to do this."
Both sides were silent, neither of them could convince the other. Finally, Feng Ze added:
"I respect your choice, but I have to do this. I'm sorry for interrupting you this time."
After saying that, Feng Ze turned around and walked away, and the meeting ended on a sour note. Regardless, both Feng Ze and Xi Chen were very upset.
They each have their own standpoints, and their thoughts and opinions differ from one another. None of them are wrong, and no one can change their minds.
Liu Qingqing didn't know what was going on yet. When she went out, many people had gathered outside. So when Liu Qingqing looked up, she saw a group of people surrounding them. Liu Qingqing frowned:
"Please move aside, you are blocking the road!"
The words were very rude, but the people who were surrounding her dispersed obediently to leave a path for Liu Qingqing. The scene looked quite spectacular, and Liu Qingqing had a bad feeling in her heart.
Why did she feel that the way these people looked at her was a little scary? Now she was like a sheep among wolves.
Liu Qingqing and Gong Mingyi walked out step by step in this strange atmosphere. Gong Mingyi understood something when he saw this scene. He looked at Liu Qingqing's back and thought:
If I were also a spectator, I would definitely be one of them at this time. After all, Liu Qingqing’s previous performance was so eye-catching!
No one was talking around, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Liu Qingqing was walking step by step, when suddenly she saw An Yanxi waving at her. Liu Qingqing looked around An Yanxi and found that all the members of their team were there.
Liu Qingqing walked over directly, ignoring the strange looks from the people around her, and left with An Yanxi and the others. As soon as Liu Qingqing and the others left, a heated discussion broke out in the venue:
"Wow, she just looked at me. She gave me a look. Wow, that's great!"
"Nonsense, I wasn't looking at you, I was clearly looking at me, okay?"
"Not only does the boss have extraordinary strength, but he also has a powerful aura. My legs go weak just by her standing there!"
"Exactly, and she's so gentle!"
"No, how do you know she's gentle? Why don't I see it?"
"Didn't you notice? She didn't even scold us when we were all surrounding her. What a gentle person she is!"
“…”
Liu Qingqing had very good hearing. When she heard the voices of the people behind her, she felt even more uneasy. So she asked An Yanxi:
"What happened to them? Did anything happen to me?"
An Yanxi scratched his head. Although he had a hunch that Liu Qingqing wouldn't want to hear what was coming next, he still said:
"That's... that... you... um... they saw you punching the two-headed lion beast, kicking the former marshal's son, and defeating a bunch of opponents."
Liu Qingqing suddenly stopped moving forward, then immediately turned around and stared at An Yanxi with unbelievable eyes.
"How could this happen? How could they know?"
Gong Mingyi was a little confused when he heard Liu Qingqing's words. Could it be that his benefactor didn't know? So he spoke first to answer Liu Qingqing:
"There are surveillance cameras. They're broadcasting full-screen outside, with judges commentating. Not only that, you can also watch it live on StarNet."
Liu Qingqing was completely stunned. How could this be? She had clearly used her mental power to check the site, so how could there still be surveillance?
Suddenly, she thought of something. Liu Qingqing released her spiritual power and looked up at the sky, and then she found many very small monitoring devices in the sky.
Liu Qingqing's entire body was drooping. How could this happen? It was all over now. Her strength hadn't been hidden at all!
Well, in the end, I think I blame Liu Qingqing for not checking it carefully. Oh well, forget it. What else can I do now that it's like this? I can't just slap myself, right?
But Liu Qingqing was still very tired. Her well-planned plan had fallen through in the blink of an eye. If she had known that her strength would be exposed, she would have won first place! She didn't have many points now, but her strength had been partially exposed.
But now she is thankful that she met Gong Mingyi very early and did not have the opportunity to use her supernatural powers, otherwise her biggest trump card would be exposed in the end, and then she would be in real trouble.
Alas, it seems that I have to work harder to hide my strength in the future. But what should Liu Qingqing do if she suddenly feels that the vest on her body can no longer cover her strength?
