"It's alright." Chi Xia waved her hand, glancing out the window out of the corner of her eye. "You can continue. Even if I refused you, you wouldn't just run away like that."
At this moment, Zhang Xin and Li Han both understood Chi Xia's meaning. Li Han then said, "Although I don't particularly like you guys either, Meng Yang is, after all, a member of Team Six. If something really happens to him, Sister Chi and we can't just ignore it."
Upon hearing this, Lan Yu lowered her head again: "I... I also told Meng Yang the same thing, but Meng Yang said that if it weren't for Sister Chi, he would have been kicked out of the base the first time Zheng Zemin hit him, and he wouldn't have the face to ask Sister Chi to let him stay again."
These words made Li Han, Zhang Xin, and even Chi Xia look at Meng Yang with new respect.
Just as Zhang Xin was about to ask another question to distract Lan Yu, a loud 'bang' was heard outside.
The group turned to look and saw Liu Daniu's spiked club smash hard onto a mound of earth, but Meng Yang was nowhere to be seen.
Lan Yu panicked and, disregarding everything else, flung open the car door and ran outside, shouting, "Meng Yang!"
The mound of earth remained unmoved.
Liu Daniu put away his spiked club and stood to the side, panting: "I, I think this blow looks fierce, but... but my superpower is almost exhausted. He... he should be fine."
However, Lan Yu didn't listen to any of this. She threw herself onto the mound of earth, crying and calling Meng Yang's name as she began to dig at it.
Chi Xia and the others got out of the car. Li Han and Zhang Xin were a little worried and wanted to go up to help, but Chi Xia stopped them. Chi Xia looked at the mound of earth and said, "Let him come out on his own. Whether he can make it or not depends on this."
At this moment, Liu Daniu finally caught his breath. He looked at the motionless mound of earth and the crying Lan Yu, and felt a pang of guilt: "Did I...did I go too far?"
"It's best to be decisive and thorough."
Chi Xia's gaze remained fixed on the mound of earth: "Meng Yang's superpower is on the verge of a breakthrough. He himself knows that all he lacks is an opportunity. And the opportunity for a superpower to upgrade is usually when the superpower is exhausted, there is a danger to his life, or he has been subjected to a strong stimulus."
Liu Daniu belatedly wiped his sweat: "Sister Chi, is she using me as a tool for her to upgrade her superpowers?"
"Hmm." Chi Xia nodded without any guilt: "Even though you're just a tool, isn't it good to let you beat him up and vent your anger?"
Liu Dani blinked and thought for a moment: "It's good, but I still feel like something's a little off."
As they were talking, the mound of earth, which had been silent until now, suddenly moved.
Meng Yang burst out of the ground like a chick, and before he could even stand up straight, he was pounced on by the terrified Lan Yu: "Waaah... You scared me to death! I thought you were going to abandon me!"
Meng Yang reached out his muddy hand, touched her head, and gently comforted her, "It's alright, I'm fine."
Upon hearing this, Li Han suddenly shuddered: "So sour, so sour! Could you two please take care of us single dogs?"
Chi Xia coughed lightly and looked at Li Han, saying, "Back then, in Z City, was it the same for Han Junche and me?"
Zhang Xin rolled her eyes at her: "Sister Chi, you and your brother-in-law are much more sour than those two, okay?"
Chi Xia touched her nose and remained silent.
Lan Yu and Meng Yang then remembered that Chi Xia and the others were still with them, and they parted ways with embarrassment.
Chi Xia looked at Meng Yang and asked, "How is it? Have you leveled up?"
Meng Yang nodded: "Thank you, Sister Chi."
"It's nothing, you should really thank Liu Daniu." Chi Xia took out two power cores from her pocket: "Here, eat this now."
