Chapter 41 Chapter 41 After breaking up with Bai Ling, Ren Xiaoyue did not...

After separating from Bai Ling, Ren Xiaoyue arrived at Braden's villa in no time. She walked into the villa as if she was alone and did not see Cross in the villa's hall.

Ren Xiaoyue walked into Braden's bedroom without pause or doubt and fiddled with the vase in the bedroom. The wall on the side of Brayden's bedroom burst open. Ren Xiaoyue walked down the secret passage with a flashlight in her hand. After taking two steps, she heard a noise coming from outside. Ren Xiaoyue paused for a moment, then continued walking down.

When she reached the end, she saw Cross leaning against the wall waiting for her.

Cross sensed her arrival and waved to her with a smile.

"Long time no see," he said, "I didn't greet you properly before Twenty-three."

Wow, Ren Xiaoyue said wow. What do you mean by 23rd is here? I didn’t say hello properly. Apart from overthrowing the organization, what could they not say in front of Twenty-Three?

Ren Xiaoyue resisted the urge to shine the flashlight in his eyes to warn him not to act so pretentiously, and slowly walked in front of Cross, stopping one step away from him.

"We have nothing to talk about." Ren Xiaoyue said coldly amid the noise that was hard to ignore.

Cross sighed and said, "Don't say that. I can be called your teacher after all. We can always have academic discussions. In addition to academics, we also have a lot of common topics. For example... we both have a lot of little secrets."

He smiled and said, "I didn't tell Andran your identity directly, and I didn't let them investigate Qian Meng's little trick. It seems you don't know yet? They did something big recently and destroyed the organization's base at the border of Purvi."

Ren Xiaoyue: …

Andran is the name of the principal. Ren Xiaoyue really didn’t know anything about Qian Meng’s affairs. It wasn’t drawn in the comics, and Qian Meng didn’t report it to her in the previous letter. When Ren Xiaoyue heard this, she felt that Qian Meng and the others were no longer acceptable.

No matter what, Ren Xiaoyue remained indifferent: "You know why you did this, don't make it sound like you've suffered a loss."

Cross smiled and changed the subject: "It's been so long, and you still can't talk. Forget it, you are here to save the people in here, right? Well, to be precise, you are saving the people in here for the people who are coming, right?"

"Yeah." Ren Xiaoyue replied.

Cross then said: "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it...? You admitted it."

Ren Xiaoyue: “Yeah.”

Cross sighed: "It seems that my speculation was wrong. Compared with the child, you really care more about that woman."

Ren Xiaoyue still said "hmm", and now Cross realized something was wrong. He looked carefully and found that Ren Xiaoyue's eyes were out of focus. The smile on Cross's face did not disappear, as if he was very familiar with how to deal with this situation.

It was easy for Cross to guess what Ren Xiaoyue was daydreaming about because there was a lot of noise above and he was not deaf. There was a fight going on upstairs, and the psychic named Zhe came in with his two students, so Ren Xiaoyue's attention was no longer on him.

Unfortunately, even so, if he really made a move, Sixteen, who seemed to be in a daze, would immediately counterattack. Cross thought regretfully.

"Sixteen, can you please respect your teacher a little? Is there anything worth paying attention to in that kind of playful battle above?" Cross said helplessly.

After he said that, Ren Xiaoyue barely came back to her senses. She went straight to the point: "I am not your companion, nor am I your pawn."

"Everyone has a weak spot, Cross," she said.

"No wonder you came here," Cross did not change because of her attitude, and asked casually, "So you wanted to tell me this. I thought you were the type who would hide your reverse scale?"

"It's been so long, and your self-righteousness has not changed." Ren Xiaoyue stepped forward, "Make way, I want to fulfill my promise."

"You've become much more lively." Cross shrugged and obediently moved aside to make way. When Ren Xiaoyue and Cross passed by each other, Ren Xiaoyue turned around and asked abruptly: "Did you let her hear it on purpose that night?"

Cross was stunned for a moment, then quickly figured out what Ren Xiaoyue was saying. He smiled like a child who had played a harmless prank and said, "That's right."

After getting the answer, Ren Xiaoyue withdrew her gaze. She could feel that Cross behind her did not bother her any further and left on his own. She walked to the iron gate that imprisoned Catherine, put her hand on it, and then exerted force, and the iron gate was forced open.

Catherine, who was sitting on the bed, heard the noise and raised her head. She looked at Ren Xiaoyue blankly, neither speaking nor moving.

They stared at each other in silence. Ren Xiaoyue found it a little funny. She teased, "Didn't you break the token I gave you? Why are you silent now?"

Catherine, who was curled up in the corner of the bed, shuddered twice after hearing this. Looking at her situation, Ren Xiaoyue understood that the reason Catherine smashed the necklace was definitely because Cross used his supernatural powers to interfere with her.

Looking at Catherine, who looked like an eggplant hit by frost, Ren Xiaoyue sighed.

Her attitude towards the people in this world has always been the same as that towards the NPCs in the game. The life and death of NPCs does not have much impact on her, but when she meets NPCs with whom she has a favorable impression or female NPCs, her patience will be relatively better.

"It's painful to be betrayed, right?" Ren Xiaoyue asked.

There was a gleam of tears in Catherine's eyes.

She, she knows what I've been through? By the way, she was able to sneak into my house quietly, so it’s not surprising that she now knows what I’ve been through. Catherine thought.

"Come on," Ren Xiaoyue stretched out her hand, "At least now, I need you."

Need me? Catherine stared at the beautiful hand in a daze. She chewed on these words and couldn't help but repeat them in a low voice: "Need me?"

The person opposite her took this repetition as a question and patiently responded: “Yes, I need you.”

The words "I need you" made Catherine unable to bear the grievance in her heart any longer. She took two steps forward, grabbed Ren Xiaoyue's hand, and threw herself into her arms.

In fact, Catherine regretted it as soon as she broke the bracelet. She didn't understand what she was thinking and why she was asking for help from a stranger whose depth was unknown at this moment. Especially when the bracelet was broken for a long time but nothing happened, Catherine felt like a huge fool.

This negative emotion overwhelmed her, making her more depressed and even showing signs of self-loathing. When everything was going in a downward trend, Ren Xiaoyue appeared.

She showed up and said she was needed. Catherine hugged Ren Xiaoyue, and a feeling of grievance welled up in her eyes.

Ren Xiaoyue soon felt the front of her clothes was wet. Ah, you're crying already? Ren Xiaoyue stood there, looking up at the ceiling. She began to wonder whether she should just push Catherine away or pat her on the back and reassure her that everything would be fine.

Before Ren Xiaoyue could figure out what was going on, Catherine adjusted herself and came out of her arms.

Catherine wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes, straightened her messy clothes, cleared her throat, and spoke nervously: "I... Can I hire you for protection? I..."

She bit her lower lip and struggled for a long time before finally saying the request: "I want to end things with Brayden."

-

Upstairs, separated by a wall.

Braden looked at the bodyguards around him who were constantly being knocked down, with an unpleasant expression on his face.

There had indeed been some harmless problems in his business recently, and he had found out who was behind it, but because of Catherine's matter, he had not had time to read the investigation file.

Who would have known that tonight, as soon as he took the document in his hand and opened the first page, the person printed at the top of the first page broke in.

A few minutes ago, he was still saying to the group of people, "I haven't come to find you yet, but you are here to die first", but he didn't expect that this group of people were so good at fighting. Although he had a large number of bodyguards, they were no match for them.

Fortunately, Braden didn't rely on these bodyguards, he relied on the ones given to him by the organization...

Before the nasty black-haired, gray-eyed kid was about to hit him on the nose, the mountain-like huge psychic jumped down from the second floor and slapped the kid away.

The human body collided with the wall, making a loud noise. The slave sent by the organization that cooperated with Braden rushed forward and swung his huge fist at the kid's head.

Before the fist as hard as stone could be swung down, the attacker dodged nimbly.

Braden saw all of their fight, and his expression was hard to read.

As expected, people with special abilities are higher beings... Braden touched the medicine bottle in his pocket.

He took the medicine in the bottle when no one was paying attention.

A burning sensation rose from his stomach.

-

As soon as Ren Xiaoyue nodded to agree to Catherine's request, she felt something was wrong. She raised her head slightly and listened attentively.

A louder sound than before came from upstairs, and even the basement was shaken. Catherine lost her balance and almost fell down. After the loud noise, dangerous supernatural power fluctuations came from upstairs. Ren Xiaoyue took Catherine into her arms, expanding the range of her supernatural powers to cover Catherine.

Catherine, who was protected by supernatural powers, did not feel the impact of the supernatural powers just now. She said thank you embarrassedly and wanted to get out of Ren Xiaoyue's arms. Ren Xiaoyue put one arm around her and put the other hand to her lips, making a "hush" gesture.

"Don't move, it will be over soon." Ren Xiaoyue said.

Catherine looked at Ren Xiaoyue in confusion. But soon, she was no longer confused, because a black hand lifted the roof of the basement, or rather, the floor of the first floor.

The moonlight poured into the pink basement, and an amorphous monster made entirely of black mud came into Catherine's sight. The monster had no face, no limbs, and was like a puddle of mud. The hand that opened the basement was temporarily made up of the mud. After the roof of the basement was lifted, the hand was withdrawn from the monster's head.

"Catherine—Catherine—"

The monster made a shrill cry that no human could make.

When Catherine heard her name, her face turned pale. She seemed to have thought of something and asked Ren Xiaoyue for confirmation: "Is it...?"

Ren Xiaoyue observed Lu Ze not far away and couldn't help but smile. She was in a good mood and confirmed Catherine's guess: "Yes, that's what you think."

Catherine opened her mouth and grabbed Ren Xiaoyue's clothes, unable to speak. The continuous impact made her unable to react. She didn't react, but the monster opposite her did. Their interaction angered the monster, and it stretched its body and rushed towards them.

"Catherine—cannot betray—"

It howled and squirmed, and the next second it appeared in front of Ren Xiaoyue.

Ren Xiaoyue felt that Catherine wanted to push her away, and also felt that Zhe was using his supernatural powers. Ren Xiaoyue saw Aster erecting a wall of fire in front of her, and also saw Lu Ze running towards this side.

The black mud monster's body passed through the wall of fire and hit her with sparks like a black tide. Ren Xiaoyue felt that someone's supernatural power fluctuations not far away had reached a peak, and someone had been promoted. Ren Xiaoyue turned her eyes slightly and looked at Lu Ze. As his superpowers improved, he rushed forward.

But this black monster was too fast, and this extreme moment of promotion seemed like a drop in the bucket. Lu Ze was already very close to her, but the monster was even closer. It had already pounced towards Ren Xiaoyue's face.

Ren Xiaoyue didn't even blink. One of her hands was still holding Catherine, and the other hand was slowly raised and touched the body of the black mud monster.

When her fingers touched the monster, its movements stopped.

Then, starting from the part where Ren Xiaoyue and the monster were in contact, the monster evaporated inch by inch and turned into tiny pieces. The black mud monster disappeared in an instant. The wall of fire blocking Ren Xiaoyue also disappeared into the air. They disappeared too easily and too quickly, as if they had never existed.

As the monster completely disappeared, Lu Ze ran to Ren Xiaoyue.

He shifted his gaze to the left and saw a familiar ear clip. Lu Ze stared into Ren Xiaoyue's cold eyes. Facing this unfamiliar face, his voice trembled: "Teacher Xiaoyue..."
