"Have you ever used these skills in front of others?" Lu Mo asked.
The siblings shook their heads vigorously; they weren't that superficial, but—
"My elder brother knows this. He told us to do it secretly and not to do it in front of others."
Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo were very pleased; the children were very sensible.
Since the two children were able to protect themselves, Lu Mo felt a little relieved. He discovered that An Anjing's superpowers were both mutually exclusive and mutually reinforcing. Fire could destroy plants, but it could also turn burned plants into fertile soil, which would be more conducive to plant growth.
Moreover, An'an's ability to control fire energy was already very proficient. The temperature of the flames he emitted was enough to destroy all the plants that Jingjing had nurtured, but he only burned a small section of them. The remaining plants scurried away on their own, as if they understood An'an's meaning.
“The plants my sister encourages to grow won’t bind me,” An’an said.
“My brother’s fire isn’t hot at all,” Jingjing said.
Lu Mo became even more certain of his guess. The two little ones' special abilities were indeed complementary, probably because they were twins, and identical twins at that.
The next day, Lu Mo went to the company, but he still arranged some bodyguards near his residential area. There were people guarding each entrance and exit, and he would receive a message as soon as Hua Xiaolou came.
Life remained peaceful, without any ripples. So peaceful that Ye Qingqing almost forgot about Hua Xiaolou's existence. She couldn't help but wonder if she and Lu Mo had made a mistake in their analysis, or if it was just a coincidence. Perhaps Hua Xiaolou had already cultivated his mind and character and no longer wanted to concern himself with matters of the martial world.
Of course, such a thought is absolutely impossible. Hua Xiaolou is ambitious and has long coveted the position of sect leader of the Poison Sect. If nothing unexpected had happened, Yin Yu would definitely have passed the position of sect leader to his most outstanding disciple, Hua Xiaolou. However, Yin Yu was killed by them, and Hua Xiaolou was forced to flee overseas. The position of sect leader was taken by Zhu Zi, and Hua Xiaolou would definitely not let it go.
As time went on, Ye Qingqing's tense nerves began to relax, but Lu Mo remained vigilant, and his men continued to guard the area around the residential compound, not daring to let their guard down in the slightest.
The situation in YN country is not bad. Ye Tong did not hire a lawyer. He reached a private agreement with the little girl's parents. The little girl's parents did not intend to sue Zhu Zi and accepted the settlement.
Of course, Ye Tong used a bit of his mental power, which was somewhat despicable, but Zhu Zi was innocent. The real culprit was Hua Xiaolou. Only by punishing Hua Xiaolou could he truly avenge the little girl.
Ye Tong gave them a considerable sum of money, enough for the little girl's parents to live a comfortable life. Although it couldn't heal their pain, it was some consolation.
"We'll come back once my brother finishes the paperwork here," Ye Tong said.
The "elder brother" he was referring to was Zhu Zi; they were practically family now, so he called him that, just like Tian Tian.
"No rush, Hua Xiaolou has already left YN country. You can spend a few days there. The scenery there is quite nice," Ye Qingqing said with a smile.
“We’re not in a hurry, but my older brother is. He doesn’t want to miss out on Hua Xiaolou, but he’s just been released from prison, so the procedures are a bit complicated and will take about a week,” Ye Tong explained.
Upon hearing that Hua Xiaolou's target was Ye Qingqing, Zhu Zi couldn't sit still any longer and was eager to return to China. Hua Xiaolou was an opponent he recognized and a worthy adversary to fight, and he absolutely couldn't let this opportunity slip by.
More importantly, he wanted to avenge the poor little girl Liya and make Hua Xiaolou die from his new poison.
This was his promise to Liya.
