Xi Yan said, "Xu Yubin knows formations, but he didn't notice the fluctuations in the formation, which is why we were helpless."
Without conducting an on-site investigation, Zhu Fanfan didn't dare to make a decision easily: "Let's go and see who's going after they've rested."
Xi Yan explained their deployment to Zhu Fanfan, who then added a few points before asking, "Brother Xi Yan, do you have any methods to activate superpowers? Several people I brought have superpowers, but they haven't been activated yet. I'd like to give it a try."
Xi Yan was not optimistic: "The improvement of superpowers requires many of what we call rare and precious materials, such as the pills you provided before, as well as many things containing spiritual energy or energy to absorb the energy, and the potential to be stimulated when facing life and death. If it is something like yours or mine that has been shown since childhood and has been properly guided, the future achievements will not be small and it is worth investing in its cultivation. But for them, who only stimulated their abilities in their twenties, their future progress will be very slow, unless they have exceptionally good talent."
Although it's cruel, it's the truth. The Dragon Group has limited resources and can't train everyone. Only those with exceptional ability or potential will be given special training. Those without will only be able to do odd jobs. Not everyone in the Dragon Group is a master.
Zhu Fanfan persisted: "I think everyone should be given a chance. Having superpowers is a talent in itself, and I have more faith in the character of a soldier than in Brother Xi Yan."
Just like the Dragon Group, they are all Chinese compatriots, but each of them is extremely arrogant. Even Shao Ling, who was so gentle back then, had arrogance in her eyes. Although she hid it well, people with superpowers have amplified the senses of ordinary people several times, especially their mental power. They are very sensitive to the emotions of the people around them. The reason why Shao Ling was gentle was because her superpowers far surpassed hers, and she unconsciously lowered her posture.
Although there are many different personalities in their unit, their hearts for serving the people will never change. They always put the people first. The unit also regularly gives ideological education courses to the soldiers. In her heart, the People's Liberation Army is more trustworthy and she can entrust her back to them with peace of mind. As for the Dragon Group, all I can say is that they are capable. Let alone entrust your back to them, you have to be careful even if you work with them.
Xi Yan knew Zhu Fanfan's stubbornness and didn't try to persuade him. He himself didn't like the atmosphere of the Dragon Group. The elders dared to give the group leader a hard time, and the face of several major families had to be given. He was tired just watching it. If he were the group leader, he would set all the rules. Anyone who disagreed could leave. The group leader was the one who liaised with the big leaders. No one was allowed to report to higher levels. This was enough to make them obedient. The group leader was too much of a gentleman.
Shao Ling arrived, and Xi Yan left under the pretext of having something to do. Shao Ling couldn't help but laugh: "Over the years, Xi Yan has become even more authoritative and domineering in the Dragon Group. He's more like the group leader than the group leader himself. Apart from being young, he has no other flaws."
Zhu Fanfan asked, "Haven't he always been like this where you are?"
Shaoling didn't answer, but suddenly said, "Actually, I envy you."
Although she had never met General Zhu, Xi Yan had often talked about how Zhu Fanfan was pampered by her grandparents at home. Even someone as cold as Xi Yan would make exceptions for her in every way. The team leader was not a gentle person, but he also admired Zhu Fanfan in every way. Whenever she came, he would break all the rules for her.
Zhu Fanfan comforted her, saying, "Not only are you envious, but I'm also very envious of myself."
Shaoling laughed self-deprecatingly: "I lost my mother when I was five. My family said that men need to work and can't be left unattended. My father said he was afraid I would be abused and refused to remarry. Later, my grandmother threatened to commit suicide, so he had no choice but to marry my stepmother on the condition that she take good care of me. At first, my stepmother really did take meticulous care of me, until she got pregnant and gave birth to a son..."
The father was visibly happy to have a male heir, since a male could carry on the family line. The stepmother felt she was a great contributor and began to boss her around. She was responsible for all the housework and taking care of the younger brother. The father seemed to have gone blind and had hearing problems. He couldn't see the stepmother bullying her or hear her complaints. Everyone in the family could trample on her. The conditions he had taken to take care of her seemed incredibly ironic.
It wasn't until she was eighteen that she was chosen by the team leader because of her outstanding abilities and brought back to the Dragon Team, thus gaining a place in the family. Her father always told her to help her younger siblings. Her stepmother was gentle and kind to her father in front of him, but she always mocked her behind his back, afraid that her excellence would make her father pay more attention to her.
The family used her as a stepping stone. They wanted the men in the family to be successful, and even if a girl was outstanding, she had to sacrifice for the family. They even blamed the girl for being too outstanding and blocking the men's spotlight, and the whole family suppressed her.
Zhu Fanfan listened quietly: "What do you want to tell me?"
She doesn't know how to comfort people; she only rubs salt into the wound. If it were her, she would just slap them hard across the face, smash up the house, and if that doesn't work, burn down the ancestral hall. Aren't you afraid of blocking the light of the male descendants? Then let the ancestors shine on them. Everyone has their moments of madness.
Shaoling said, "I just wanted to talk to you."
For some reason, Zhu Fanfan suddenly seemed to have an epiphany and asked, "Do you know how I treat my own parents?"
Shaoling couldn't help but ask, "Didn't your father sacrifice himself a long time ago? Xi Yan also said that you've never met your father."
Zhu Fanfan said, "Who in the Zhu family compound doesn't know that I was adopted? My biological father wanted a son, so he tacitly agreed to let my biological grandmother and mother kill me. Unfortunately, I was lucky and was adopted by my grandfather. But when I met them after I grew up, they said they had their own reasons. I didn't listen and had someone steal from their house, making them penniless. My biological father, who was supposed to be the deputy director, was ruined by my schemes, and his whole family became the laughing stock of the city. If I hadn't promised my grandfather to spare their lives, they would have gone to see the King of Hell long ago."
As long as Xue Fu's child turned eighteen, she would take the savings book given to her by her maternal grandfather, and immediately go to the bank to withdraw the money, leaving him disappointed. As for Fu Jing, she was always arguing with Widow Xin. When the Cultural Revolution started, Xue Fu and Widow Xin were even criticized and struggled against for having an affair and sent to a farm for reform. Now, Fu Jing can only do odd jobs to support her family. Having never suffered before, Fu Jing quickly became a haggard old woman. The family she supports includes her mother-in-law. If she doesn't support her mother-in-law, Luo Xing will slap his thigh and cry about his miserable life.
