Zhuge Qianxing sat upright with a mysterious smile on his face and said to Xi Yan, "Today, Fanfan and I went to Wagang Village. The high priest there, Haibu, said that he likes Fanfan and wants to marry her. Haibu is also a tall and handsome young man."
Xi Yan was furious. Fanfan was only fifteen years old, still a child. Who was such a beast to marry a minor?
Elder Zhen spoke first, his tone incredulous and angry: "You're using this to keep the High Priest in suspense? Zhuge Qianxing, don't think Fanfan is naive and you're just using her. Don't forget, she may be easy to fool, but her grandfather is no pushover. Although he's not a superhuman, he's a member of the Zhu family. The Zhu family's martial arts aren't showing their power right now because they lack talent. Don't forget the precedent of the Zhu family's ancestors defeating superhumans with internal energy. If General Zhu wants to fight to the death, we won't protect you."
The other two elders glared angrily. Although they had indeed used many underhanded methods for the Dragon Group, those were against enemies. They would never do something like using a little girl. If Zhuge Qianxing really did that, they might even help General Zhu kill him. People who would do anything to kill their own people did not deserve to be their group leader.
Zhuge Qianxing was somewhat incredulous: "If she doesn't want to do something, who can force her? Whose side are you on?"
When did Zhu Fanfan become someone who's easily fooled? That's absolutely the funniest joke he's ever heard. That girl showed no mercy the moment she crippled someone when she was twelve. She's anything but kind, let alone innocent. Since she was twelve, that girl has traveled all over the country alone. Has she ever been caught? It's always others who suffer. Should we count how many spies and bad guys she's caught?
Since they met, when has he ever come out on top? In the end, he always has to appease that little princess. He's given her plenty of good things. What makes Zhu Jiabao think she can get away with anything against him?
However, the other three elders ignored them and continued to criticize Zhuge Qianxing. Zhuge Qianxing was not to be outdone, and the group engaged in a heated debate. Finally, Xi Yan ended the argument with a single sentence: "Team leader, Fanfan is angry."
Zhuge Qianxing shut up. That little rascal really knows how to back down when he's angry. They were cooperating so well this morning, and neither of them made any promises, yet they managed to entangle Haibu. He's taken a liking to the Dragon Group.
Elder Zhen scoffed, "It's no wonder people get angry if you use them like that."
Xi Yan continued, "When Fanfan gets angry, he attacks indiscriminately, friend or foe. Elder Zhen, we should also be careful."
Zhuge Qianxing surrendered: "I didn't use her to keep Haibu hanging, and she clearly rejected Haibu's marriage proposal."
The group looked at Zhuge Qianxing, then left. They discussed among themselves that if they felt uncomfortable discussing something with Fanfan in the future, they would use Zhuge Qianxing's name.
Zhu Fanfan was furious. She went into the space to train and vent her energy before calming down. She thought about how she felt when she fought Haibu today. Although she was injured in several places, she felt like she had seen through the fog. She felt that her mental strength had improved and she had even comprehended spatial attacks.
Haibu's spatial attack almost put her on the defensive. She didn't know how she suddenly came to understand spatial attacks. It has to be said that spatial attacks are really powerful, even more powerful than mental power. According to records, if spatial abilities are used well, they can change a person's physical condition. For example, spatial power can be accelerated around her, and time will also be changed. Accelerated time will cause people to age quickly. However, the requirements for the ability are very high, and ordinary people cannot do it.
After finishing her workout, Zhu Fanfan took a shower. After showering, she felt something was wrong. The nourishment from the well water caused her wound to skip the scabbing and healing process and heal directly, as if the injury she suffered that morning was just an illusion. She carefully observed the well water and found that it contained a faint spiritual energy. The well water had evolved.
Suddenly, I remembered the two-headed snake. It was unconscious when it came in, right by the well. It hasn't woken up yet, and I'm not sure if it brought something back. Anyway, it's good for her.
After leaving the space, the military personnel arrived. Zhu Fanfan became a hands-off manager, leaving everything to Zhuge Qianxing to handle. However, things didn't go smoothly. The witch doctor wanted to cooperate, but Haibu was in charge. Without his approval, no one would cooperate. Haibu's condition was that Zhu Fanfan would come to negotiate in person.
In response, Zhuge Qianxing had to sign some unfair agreements with Zhu Fanfan, finally persuading Zhu Fanfan to work together to convince the people of Wagangzhai to contribute to the country.
To give the people of Wagangzhai a taste of their power, Zhu Fanfan arrived on a golden eagle on the day the entire clan was present. As soon as she flew over, the group of people knelt down in unison, praying fervently. The moment Zhu Fanfan dismounted from the golden eagle, everyone treated her as a deity. No one objected to anything she said; it all went incredibly smoothly.
Zhuge Qianxing: ...He's all superfluous.
After everything was resolved, Haibu explained: "In our Wagang Village, the golden eagle is the representative of the gods, and to gain the golden eagle's approval is to be a messenger of the gods."
Although Zhu Fanfan didn't understand the weight of gods in people's hearts, she respected people's beliefs. Mainly because it was too convenient to act, most of the people of Wagangzhai were stationed in the surrounding villages. The military took away fifty agile archers. They promised Zhu Fanfan that they would be promoted and transferred to the capital as quickly as possible, hoping to become her soldiers. Zhu Fanfan said she had high hopes for them.
As for Haibu, he joined the Dragon Group with eight other ability users, but he had a lot of authority. It has to be said that Zhuge Qianxing's love for talent had its drawbacks, as he agreed to many of Haibu's conditions.
Only the witch doctor resolutely refused to leave the mountain. Hai Bu did not try to persuade him, but only asked Zhuge Qianxing to wait for five days. Zhuge Qianxing agreed and even wanted Hai Bu to persuade the witch doctor to come with him, as there would be a suitable position for him in the capital. Hai Bu said nothing, and on the fifth day, the witch doctor passed away.
The day after his death, the entire mountain erupted, and the century-old village of Wagang was instantly buried in lava. The surrounding villages were also affected, but fortunately there were no casualties. The army also came to maintain order and take charge of the aftermath.
Haibu explained to Zhu Fanfan, "The witch doctor calculated that there wasn't much time left in the world, and he kept having dreams that foreshadowed a volcanic eruption, so we were all mentally prepared."
Zhu Fanfan: ...She really isn't curious at all, so there's no need to explain it to her.
With the matter resolved here, the group returned to the military region. Zhu Fanfan went back to submit her performance report, and everything proceeded in an orderly manner.
Until one day, Zhuge Qianxing called for help.
