After Jiang Chuyi's intervention, the heavy atmosphere dissipated a little.
Lu Qianzhi still couldn't get over the hurdle of conscience. He opened his mouth to say something, but He Sizhao had already passed over the previous topic.
"Xiaoyi still has a lot to understand about this world. We'll talk about that later. Lu Qianzhi, you haven't answered my question yet. What did Wen Changchuan say to you?"
Lu Qianzhi looked at him blankly, realizing that he was saying that Jiang Chuyi did not fully understand the feelings contained in his words just now.
He needed to react and be reminded specifically to realize this, but He Sizhao was able to quickly understand what Jiang Chuyi meant as soon as she finished speaking. Such meticulous care and tolerance made him smile bitterly.
Then he tried to think about He Shizhao's problem, but the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
Lu Qianzhi frowned and slowly stood up from the ground.
"My teacher told me to practice seriously. He said I'm very talented and that if I put in more effort, I could beat you."
"So, it was Wen Changchuan who instructed you to come to me." He Sizhao hit the nail on the head.
"No..." Lu Qianzhi was about to deny it, but stopped talking, with a look of doubt on his face.
"How stupid." Jiang Chuyi couldn't bear to watch any longer. "You're being controlled by someone, and you don't even know it?"
"What?" Lu Qianzhi looked at her in surprise. "Are you saying that the teacher is controlling me?"
He was not a complete fool, but he was unwilling to think about it before. Now that his doubts were exposed, it was more like he was expressing his own doubts rather than asking Jiang Chuyi.
"There are two energies wrapped around you, one is your own, and the other is not." Jiang Chuyi curled the ends of her hair and said lazily, "You don't even feel it?"
Lu Qianzhi's eyes darkened, and he looked at Jiang Chuyi with even more admiration than before: "Xiaoyi, how come you've suddenly become so powerful? You can even feel this! How come I can't feel anything?"
Because you are a fool. Jiang Chuyi said silently.
He Sizhao's expression didn't change. He had already thought of this, and Jiang Chuyi's statement only confirmed his guess.
He believed Jiang Chuyi's words without a doubt. After all, when no one else felt anything, Jiang Chuyi had already told him that he had wind energy.
"That surge of energy is indeed within you, but it represents your potential. It may belong to you in the future, but it doesn't belong to you now." Jiang Chuyi continued, "Using it forcefully will only overdraw your potential. In serious cases, you might even become a cripple."
Lu Qianzhi shuddered.
For someone like him who had climbed up from the bottom, nothing was more terrifying than losing power.
"Think about your behavior just now, and you'll know what Xiaoyi said is right." He Sizhao's calm eyes fell on Lu Qianzhi's face, with great power, "At this point, do you still insist that there is nothing wrong with your teacher?"
Lu Qianzhi hung his head tiredly, as if he didn't want to face this fact.
"Teacher... did give me an injection of medicine," he whispered. "He said it was only to help me with my training and to reassure me."
"Pharmacy?" He Sizhao grasped the key words. "Do you remember what it looks like?"
Lu Qianzhi tried hard to recall: "It's... a long tube, with nothing on the packaging, and the color is light gold."
After he finished describing the characteristics of the potion, Jiang Chuyi's eyes suddenly widened.
He Sizhao keenly noticed her stiff body and asked with concern: "Xiaoyi, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Everyone knew Jiang Chuyi's "physical condition" and didn't care about anything else for the moment. They all looked at her nervously.
"...It's okay." Jiang Chuyi spoke stiffly.
He Sizhao frowned and picked her up sideways: "Get in the car first, we're going back to the base."
His eyes were full of self-blame. He knew that Jiang Chuyi was in poor health, but he still spoiled her and brought her out. She was exposed to the wind and sand for so long. What if her respiratory tract was seriously damaged?
Jiang Chuyi looked up at his tense jawline. At such a close distance, she could naturally feel that his heart and eyes were full of concern for her.
She hunched her shoulders and closed her eyes in his arms.
The tube of medicine that Lu Qianzhi mentioned was very similar to something in her memory.
She was the most precious experimental subject, and no one dared to perform any destructive experiments on her for fear of harming her.
But the man primarily responsible for her care had no such concerns.
She had never heard his name, everyone called him "Doctor". He was a complete lunatic. In order to push out her energy limit, he injected her with that light golden liquid.
But unlike Lu Qianzhi, she had no memory of what happened after the injection. When she woke up again, she had been moved to a new place that was very similar to the previous room, but she recognized it at a glance that it was not the original one.
From then on, the researchers responsible for recording the data looked at her with lingering fear in their eyes.
She had secretly sneered at that time. She had been in their hands since she was a child, and they had a lot of ways to control her. Shouldn't she be the one who was afraid?
She had lightly brushed aside this memory, but now she remembered it.
"Xiaoyi, are you feeling uncomfortable? We'll be back soon." He Sizhao held Jiang Chuyi in his arms and sat in the passenger seat, covering her cold arm tightly. "Let's go to the military headquarters first."
The last sentence was what he said to Wuyi while driving.
"Okay." Wuyi didn't dare to delay and increased the size to the maximum.
"No." Jiang Chuyi muttered with his eyes closed, "I want to go back to sleep."
When He Shizhao heard that she was going to sleep, he became nervous.
"Don't worry, let's go get a checkup first." He tried his best to keep his tone steady. "It's a good opportunity to see how the chemotherapy preparations are going."
Jiang Chuyi was too lazy to say more to him and let him do whatever he wanted.
Lu Qianzhi had been watching them from the back seat, and suddenly said, "I want to go back and find the teacher."
He Sizhao: "Your 'mission' has failed. Going directly to him might be dangerous."
Lu Qianzhi pursed his lips and said after a while: "I know it's easy for you to hate him, but he treats me differently after all."
He looked out the window, his eyes revealing the kind of resolute and dazzling light described in the original plot.
"No matter what the result is, I will ask it myself."
"Let him go." Jiang Chuyi said, "Otherwise, if we leave him here, he might be controlled again at any time, which would be very troublesome."
She said it very bluntly, but Lu Qianzhi's eyes revealed a hint of emotion.
"Xiaoyi..." he whispered, "I'm sorry."
"Yeah." Jiang Chuyi responded as a matter of course. After two seconds of silence, he opened his eyes and half of his face appeared from behind the chair. "Didn't you apologize already? Why are you saying it again?"
"Before, it was because I almost hurt you accidentally, but this time it was because of something else." Seeing her cute look, Lu Qianzhi subconsciously wanted to smile, but then he pursed his lips and said, "You are very strong. I shouldn't treat you as a trophy in battle and drag you into my selfishness without permission."
Jiang Chuyi blinked, she didn't understand.
"Oh." Jiang Chuyi pretended to understand and shrank back into He Sizhao's arms.
A smile appeared on He Sizhao's lips.
Several people got off the car at the main hospital gate. He Sizhao carried Jiang Chuyi into the hospital. Lu Qianzhi ignored the guards' horrified looks when they saw him, wiped his dirty face, and his expression became gloomy.
He ignored the dull pain in his chest and ran straight to Wen Changchuan's office.
Wen Changchuan's orderly knew that he was Wen Changchuan's most important student, so he had no obstructions along the way and came directly to the door.
So I happened to hear the last sentence.
"Once Qianzhi starts, we can also start preparing."
This is exactly Wen Changchuan's voice.
Lu Qianzhi was stunned. He didn't deliberately hide his voice. The next second, a question came from inside: "Who's outside?"
"Teacher." Lu Qianzhi paused, "It's me."
Soon, the sound of a chair being dragged was heard from inside, and the office door was opened. Guan Wenbo appeared inside and was obviously stunned when he saw Lu Qianzhi.
"...Qianzhi." He asked in surprise, "Where have you been?"
Wen Changchuan, who had been lowering his head, raised his head when he heard this. Seeing Lu Qianzhi at the door, his expression immediately became gloomy.
"Wenbo, you go back first," he said.
Guan Wenbo looked at Lu Qianzhi twice before leaving. Lu Qianzhi closed the door and stood straight in front of Wen Changchuan.
He did not ignore the gloom that flashed across Wen Changchuan's eyes just now.
Wen Changchuan looked him up and down, his expression not relaxing at all, but becoming increasingly gloomy.
"Where have you been? Where did the energy you gained these days go?" Wen Changchuan asked sternly.
Lu Qianzhi said calmly: "I'm going to find He Sizhao."
Wen Changchuan clasped his hands together on the table, and his sharp gaze swept over him, pausing for a moment on his clear eyes.
"Didn't I tell you not to be impulsive?" he said. "Your strength hasn't stabilized yet, and you're going straight to He Sizhao like this. Other than alerting the enemy, what else will it do?"
"Then what does it mean to be stable?" Lu Qianzhi slowly clenched his hands at his sides into fists and asked in a calm tone, "Wait until I completely overdraw my potential and become a useless person?"
Wen Changchuan's expression paused.
There was a clear flash of panic in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down.
"Qianzhi, I don't know what He Sizhao said to you, but you have to understand that we are on the same side." He softened his tone a bit. "After the actual fight, you should have realized that he is a true beast. An out-of-control beast needs to be punished. That's what we are doing now."
Lu Qianzhi's nails almost dug into his palms: "But you agreed with him before that as long as he calms down and works for the base like before, you won't pursue his disqualification."
"Qianzhi, are you questioning me?" Wen Changchuan's voice became stern.
Lu Qianzhi felt that the hazy feeling from before had returned, but this time, before his thoughts fell into chaos, he bit the tip of his tongue hard.
The sharp pain suddenly made his brain clear up.
After consciously resisting, Lu Qianzhi clearly felt a faint sense of restraint around his body. Once touched, his movements and thoughts became slow.
But it's not indefensible.
Could it be that the teacher really...
Controlling the sadness that was surging in his heart, he forced himself to calm down.
"I dare not." His voice became hoarse, "But I just want to defeat him fairly."
Seeing that his attitude had become docile, Wen Changchuan's voice softened with a hint of temptation.
"As long as we can achieve our goal, any method is acceptable. Those who achieve great things don't pay attention to trivial matters, and we can't just stick to old rules and restrict ourselves." Wen Changchuan said, "Okay, I can ignore your impulsiveness this time. I will help you one more time. I hope you will seize the opportunity this time and don't let me down."
Perhaps because he felt that Lu Qianzhi was already under his control, his face revealed obvious urgency without any concealment.
"We don't have much time left. We need to hurry up, even faster, otherwise..."
Otherwise what?
Lu Qianzhi was about to continue listening when Wen Changchuan stopped talking.
"Go back and rest. You need to practice well recently. If I don't call you, you don't need to come out."
The voice was cold and indifferent, without any of the affection that Lu Qianzhi was familiar with and missed.
"Yes." Lu Qianzhi lowered his head.
