Ying Huaixia couldn't possibly be unaware that this investigation team had ill intentions. Their true purpose—to kill someone—was to pick them up. This trip was bound to be extremely dangerous, yet Ying Huaixia volunteered to accompany her.
do what?
To take advantage of the situation and sabotage things? Or to witness the Qin family's move? Or is there another motive?
Chang Le thought it over quickly and did not refuse.
Afterwards, Ying Huaixia left first, and Jiang Tinglan told Hua Lan that she would be leaving in half an hour, so she also left first.
Chang Le dismissed everyone, including Iris and Ghost Blade, from both the open and the shadows.
"Fourth Brother, is something the matter?"
Hua Lanshi took out a flat box about half a foot square: "Lele, this might be helpful to you."
Chang Le took it and opened the box.
The box was slightly ajar, and a familiar scent wafted out. Chang Le's heart skipped a beat, and he opened the lid completely.
A palm-sized black dragon scale lay inside, and when Chang Le opened it, a faint golden light flowed across it.
Chang Le's fingertips trembled as she lightly touched the dragon scale. The coolness of her fingertips connected with the burning heat of the reverse scale in her heart, and even the [Dragon Pearl] in her heart became active, making her heart beat faster.
Hua Lan said, "This is what I got after I worked in the laboratory at the Nuwa base and made contributions. It is said that this is one of the scales that the team sent by the region later found back then. After I got it, I didn't give it to you because you didn't fully remember the original events at that time."
"It was yours to begin with, and now I'm giving it back to you."
These are the dragon scales of the Dragon Emperor Fu Guang. Now that Fu Guang is gone, they should be given to Chang Le.
Chang Le was filled with turbulent emotions, but she suppressed them and only showed a hint of sadness on her face.
"Fourth Brother, thank you."
Chang Le said softly.
She stroked the dragon scales, but her fingertips touched some unusual patterns in the center. She paused, then asked, "What is this?"
Hua Lan said, "I'm sorry, I made some changes to this dragon scale to give it to you. It's the best material I've found so far, so I put it on top of it."
Chang Le stroked the marks and patterns that were barely visible to the naked eye: "What is it? I can smell a very strong plant scent."
Hua Lan smiled and said, "It's a powerful potion that should allow your vines to evolve to some extent."
A look of surprise flashed across Chang Le's face.
Agents that help plants evolve alongside organisms?
Byproducts are generated along with supernatural abilities and have growth attributes. Huajialunling Group's core technology includes research on plant-based byproducts, but there are currently no publicly available drugs that can help with "evolution".
“I’ve done enough experiments, this thing is absolutely safe. It may not achieve true evolution, but it will definitely improve the quality of your vines. I can’t do anything else for you, but this is the best thing I’ve ever made, and I hope it helps you.”
Chang Le chuckled lightly: "I believe in Fourth Brother."
Hua Lanshi lowered her eyes, filled with sadness and guilt: "Lele, I'm sorry. I was too weak before, afraid to help you fight back, afraid that you would suffer more if you left the Hua family. But I was wrong. My weakness became an accomplice in hurting you. I'm sorry, Lele, I'm sorry."
A string of water droplets fell continuously, hitting the ground.
Looking at his own uncontrollable tears and thin shoulders, Chang Le finally sighed softly: "Fourth Brother, when my memories returned before, when I remembered that time when you decided to seal my memories and prevent me from returning to the Ninth District, I admit that at that moment, I resented all of you."
Hua Lan's body trembled.
“But I also know that Fourth Brother just… hadn’t been able to overcome his inner fears back then.” Chang Lexu hugged him and patted his back gently. “Fourth Brother knew that the world was cruel and that only with someone’s protection could one live more easily. So he was afraid that I couldn’t handle those things, so he chose to stop me, keep me here, and let me start over.”
“But I did something wrong… I shouldn’t have stopped them, I…” Hua Lanshi choked up, her hands hanging limply at her sides, too afraid to lift them.
Chang Le looked calmly and said softly, "To know one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue. I have already forgiven Fourth Brother, so why won't Fourth Brother let himself off the hook?"
Moreover, I know that what Zhou Liang puts in my milk every day is something that Fourth Brother has modified so it won't damage my brain; I know that on the day I fell from the building, it was Second Brother and Fourth Brother who found me first; I know that when I was in a coma later, it was Fourth Brother who always visited me and took care of me.
And fourth brother, I will never forget that after I woke up, the only person who welcomed me as family was fourth brother.
Hua Lanshi could no longer hold back, so he reached out and hugged her, gently leaning against her.
The embrace was as gentle and warm as ever, just like that time when she had just woken up from her coma and went to the hospital because of Meng Danruo, and Hua Lanshi hugged her.
Undeniably, that embrace changed her empty and desolate heart, allowing her to begin to settle down in this world.
As Chang Le watched Hua Lan leave, Ye Buqi, or rather, Xiao Ye, walked in from outside. Seeing Chang Le's somewhat indifferent and helpless expression, she asked her a question.
Chang Le shook his head: "It's nothing, I don't want to talk about it."
She took Xiao Ye back to the room, and Luo Xuan came over and said, "The investigation team is expected to arrive at the border of District Nine in half an hour. Young Master Lu has brought people over, but it doesn't seem like he's going to take action; it seems like he's going to watch the show. Also, Zi Gui Ti has delivered the things."
Chang Le said, "Well, once the supplies are delivered, I'll need some time to guard this place. Also, have the people in charge prepare."
"clear."
Luo Xuan then delivered the items.
Chang Le picked up one of the metal objects, about the size of a thumb, and gestured in front of Xiao Ye: "Sister Ye, do you know what this is?"
Xiao Ye's gaze lingered on it for three seconds before she replied, "It's a secret artifact, [Formless]."
"That's right, the disguise artifact, [Formless]."
The secret artifact [Formless] is derived from the superpower [Formless]. Lu Sheng's superpower is [Formless]. Only after Chang Le merges with it can he switch personalities while simulating different appearances.
However, the superpower [Formless] can not only imitate appearance, but also simulate the superpowers that have been seen before, while the secret artifact cannot. The secret artifact [Formless] can only simulate appearance, but that is enough.
Chang Le glanced down at the things needed for the disguise, then put them away and said to Ye Buqi, "Sister Ye, please protect me."
She took out the dragon scale that Hua Lan had given her.
4 PM on the 4th.
Chang Le replied to the letter from the North City, and is about to set off.
When the message was received, the investigation team members were passing through the Wolf Pack's gray area, and stopped on the spot upon receiving the order from the region.
However, at the same time, some "non-existent people" have already traveled thousands of miles to the Golden Domain.
...
"What exactly are you and Great-Grandfather doing?" Qin Xian looked at the family head's token in his hand and stared at Qin Ling in astonishment.
"Why did you give me the family head's token? What happened? Where is Great-Grandpa?" Qin Xian asked anxiously.
