Shao Xian retorted angrily, "I am the eldest daughter of the eldest son of the Shao family. In the future, the Shao family will belong to my father. Even if Shao Ling is powerful, she still has to flatter me. Otherwise, if she is bullied to death by her husband's family after she gets married, the Shao family will not care about her."
After saying that, he raised his head high, as if waiting for someone to kneel down and receive the imperial decree.
Zhu Fanfan looked at Shaoling: "Where did you release this girl from? Is she even capable of fighting? I don't like her."
The eldest son inherits the family business, and the concepts of legitimate daughters and illegitimate daughters are definitely remnants of feudal thinking. The idea that they will be bullied after marriage is ingrained in their bones. The women of the Shao family are also quite pathetic. They openly defy the high-ranking leader's talk of gender equality, that women can hold up half the sky, and are not afraid of being arrested. However, the Dragon Group members do have some privileges. After all, Zhuge Qianxing is protective of his own and, more importantly, is very capable.
Shao Ling replied helplessly, "Fanfan, you don't understand. Our families, especially those with superpowers, place great importance on family rules. The family business is always inherited by the eldest son. I'm busy with work in the group and rarely go home. My father and stepmother are also quite busy taking care of their own children. Shao Xian is more favored because both her parents are alive. You know, favored children always have more advantages than others."
Zhu Fanfan understood, and immediately grabbed Shao Xian by the neck, tightening his grip: "Didn't I tell you not to mess with me? You can die if you want, but it's wrong of you to dirty my hands."
In other words, although Shao Ling is in the Dragon Group, she doesn't have a high status in the Shao family. Last time, Shao Xian directly used her influence, and today she belittled her in front of her, which shows that she's used to it and isn't valued in her family.
Seeing that Shao Xian was about to lose her breath, Zhu Fanfan let go and asked Xi Yan, "Does she have to be in your team?"
Xi Yan barely considered it: "Those who get in through connections have no ability."
In his eyes, there are only capable and useless people. He was also very impatient with Shao Xian. However, the team leader asked him to mentor the newcomers. He was willing to mentor the newcomers, but he wanted to get rid of those who were disobedient and dragged the team down. If the team leader hadn't told him that this was the last time, he would have really turned against him.
Zhu Fanfan understood. It was quite an achievement to be assigned to this place even though the captain and vice-captain disliked it. She had heard that the more secluded a family was, the more rules it had, but she didn't even know what time it was. She was still relying on her family's protection and the eldest son was inheriting the family business. She didn't know that the Shao family was not to be trifled with.
Shao Xian looked at Shao Ling and said, "Shao Ling, she's going to kill me. You'd better kill her now, or you'll never be able to come back to the Shao family again."
Shao Ling was helpless: "Cousin, I am Zhu Fanfan's defeated opponent, I can't kill her."
Even if she could beat her, she wouldn't dare to kill her. She knew Zhu Fanfan's background very well: the granddaughter of a founding general, and the only son. If she hurt Zhu Fanfan, she would be retaliated against, let alone kill her. The entire Shao family would be implicated. Zhu Fanfan was always ranked first in the Zhu family, which was something she had always envied.
Shao Xian didn't believe her: "You were trained by the team leader, so you gave the order for everyone to attack together, otherwise..."
As soon as the words were spoken, Xiang Fu and the other four surrounded Zhu Fanfan, forming a protective formation. They had been instructed before setting out that their goal was to protect Zhu Fanfan and keep her within their sight. Although all of them combined were no match for Zhu Fanfan, she was, after all, a young girl and lacked their experience in dealing with enemies.
Zhu Jiabao, far away in Beijing, sneezed and figured it must be his granddaughter scolding him. He felt safest only with his granddaughter by his side, so he instructed the men to keep a close eye on her. Fanfan loved freedom, and she would usually scold him when she got annoyed.
Zhu Fanfan pushed through the crowd: "Brother Xi Yan, what is our mission? We'll divide the work and work together. When I get back to the Dragon Group, I'll teach Zhuge Qianxing a lesson in front of her and tell her not to run away, or I'll wipe out the entire Shao family."
Xi Yan said, "No need. You are the key person in this mission. We need your mental power to go in. She is withdrawing from this mission. I will report these missions to the team leader in detail when we get back."
He avoids women like the plague now. He's only 22, and his team leader keeps telling him to settle down before focusing on his career. She keeps introducing him to potential partners, and he doesn't know what she's been saying to the girls in the team. He keeps bumping into them wherever he goes, and even the sisters of the team members are coming to visit him. He's getting really annoyed.
Especially Shao Xian, every girl who greeted him would be warned by her, and she would even physically hurt them. He was so angry that he took a megaphone and announced to the whole group that he had nothing to do with Shao Xian. It took him three days of shouting with the megaphone before she was finally picked up by her family. Who knew that as soon as she came back, she was assigned to his group. If it weren't for the group leader's kindness to him, he would have quit long ago.
Shao Xian immediately shouted, "You can't kick me out! I am the eldest son of the Shao family, and my grandfather will not let you get away with this!"
After being kicked out of the group last time, she was reprimanded by the family. She ruined what should have been an easy mission. Later, she was taken back and punished every day. This is her first mission since returning, and she can't be sent back. She's complaining because an outsider treated her like this!
Xi Yan said to the man, "Zhang Yingcai, you stay and keep an eye on her. Don't let her follow us. If you can't keep an eye on her, don't come to my team again. My team doesn't keep useless people."
Shao Xian was led away cursing. Xi Yan said, "You must not have rested well. I'll give you an hour to rest. We must go into the mountains to find out what's going on."
Zhu Fanfan nodded to indicate that she understood, and told Xiang Fu and the others to go and rest. She had rested in her spatial dimension on the way, and then discussed the mission with Xi Yan.
When no one was around, Xi Yan told them all his guesses. Actually, discovering this place wasn't an accident. Elder Zhan in the group had predicted that a great disaster would befall them here, and had ordered them to come and investigate. They encountered the mysterious disappearance of the local villagers, and even the soldiers couldn't escape the consequences. It was time to report this.
Because here, only mental power can provide immunity, and mental power can also provide immunity by shielding a person with it. However, Shao Ling's mental power is insufficient, let alone others'. Unless the team leader comes, there is no guarantee of success. Unfortunately, the team leader has something to do and cannot come. Zhu Fanfan is the first choice.
The passage from above was quick, but the journey was long and would take time. Over the past few days, he and Shaoling had gone on an investigation together, and they had gone a little too far, so they sensed fluctuations in supernatural abilities. Unfortunately, these fluctuations caused some confusion in their consciousness, and they quickly withdrew before they were alright.
Zhu Fanfan asked, "Do any of your people understand formations?"
