"Well, after all, we can't expect to achieve success overnight, but progress is enough."
She comforted herself in this way and led An Qi away from Taixu Mountain.
……
After that, Fu Hua, with a worried look on her face, walked out of the house and came to Cang Xiaoxuan's side.
"Is this really okay?"
"Are you afraid that they will dare to touch An Qi? Or are you afraid that An Qi will be fooled by them?"
Cang Xiaoxuan turned his head and asked slowly.
Fu Hua thought about it and shook her head.
"Angelica's Taixu sword energy has already reached a high level, and she also has a divine weapon. I am not worried about her safety. It's mainly because the current officials are too obsessed. They have been hoping that I can come out to help them."
"I understand. Your principle is to protect but not interfere with the development of China. Being pursued by a modernizing regime must be a headache for you, right?"
"It's not just because of the principles of the Spark Plan, but more importantly because of the current world situation. Today, Destiny and Anti-Entropy each divide the hemisphere, dominating the issues of Collapse and Civilization Destiny. I can be ignored by both parties for the time being in such independent development, but if I end up like this, it will be too conspicuous - apart from anything else, at least Otto's attitude is hard to figure out."
Fu Hua rubbed her temples anxiously.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to see the power of China develop and support the future of civilization.
But compared to the destiny and anti-entropy of each of them mastering a part of the heritage of the previous civilization, China has too little foundation, and low-key development is their only choice.
Furthermore, with the emergence of the Herrschers one by one, the footsteps of the end are getting closer and closer. In this situation, it is better to have as few voices dominating the world as possible - the result of a diverse and chaotic power structure has been demonstrated by the previous civilization, and Fu Hua does not want to see the same thing again.
"You can tell me about these things slowly when you have time. I'm not bragging. You are hundreds of times better than me in defeating bad guys, but when it comes to politics and people's hearts, the gap between us is very despairing. So just leave these problems to me. When you have nothing to do, you can daydream or practice boxing. This is your job."
Cang Xiaoxuan suggested seriously and patted Fu Hua's forehead affectionately, just like he was patting a big dog at home.
Fu Hua agreed, but also smiled rather awkwardly.
"Well, I do have a big problem right now, and I want to discuss it with you guys."
"And we have to avoid little Angie, right?"
"How do you know that?"
"Who do you think I am? I am the chief steward of Taixu Mountain, the personal book spirit of the Red Iris Immortal, and the wise and intelligent Cangxuan Book! Even with my eyes closed, I can see through your little tricks!"
Cang Xiaoxuan curled his head in disdain.
Just by looking at Fu Hua's thoughtful, hesitant and indecisive look in the middle of the night, Cang Xiaoxuan could guess most of what was going on just by taking a closer look.
And this was also the main reason why she sent Angie away temporarily.
I can only say that the reputation of the wise and intelligent Taixu Mountain Chief is well deserved!
So simple but delicious snacks were placed in the courtyard, and the elders of Taixu Mountain sat together and listened to Fu Hua talk about An Qi.
The birth of the Herrscher of Thunder and the fall of the city of Yin Zheng L, An Qi's past of losing her parents and being bullied, then awakening and killing some bullies, then entering school, and now... she is standing back from the truth that is so close at hand.
After a not-so-long talk, only the cool mountain breeze was blowing in the courtyard, and no one spoke.
Ji Lin drank the tea silently, holding the teacup, feeling the round and smooth touch of the cup, and lowered his eyes silently.
'It's a strange feeling to hear this from someone else.'
The revenge for one's parents can never be forgotten.
Although An Qi has felt relieved as the Lord's words have been utterly revealed, she is far from being able to remain indifferent, and perhaps she will never be able to do so.
Cang Xiaoxuan pressed his forehead and sighed quietly:
"I knew that the blockhead would give me such a big and difficult problem!"
"Feel sorry."
"No, I don't blame you, I'm just saying that. Anqi's problem is very serious. It's not easy for this child to get to where she is today. We must make a perfect plan and not let anything happen to her again."
That being said, Cang Xiaoxuan understood how difficult the problem was.
It's easier to deal with if you don't know the truth, but when you have already guessed the truth and stopped there, it really makes you feel at a loss as to where to start.
"Personality and ability are shaped by the environment. The child's caring and vindictive nature was probably bred in the despair of losing everything. It seems that behind the child's well-behaved and sensible appearance, his emotions and rationality have long been shaky. We must be extremely cautious and think twice before we act. Ji Lin, what do you think?"
Seeing Ji Lin's indifferent expression, Cang Xiaoxuan asked casually.
Ji Lin blinked blankly.
What is this?
I take care of people because I like them, and I have already maxed out my housework proficiency, so I just do it casually. As for holding grudges, I have been holding grudges since my last life. For example, the old classmate who stole my project has not been able to graduate yet because of my little manipulation. It has little to do with my experience in this world, right?
Ji Lin drank a sip of tea, moistened his lips, then slapped the table and said:
"I think Xiaoxuan is right. Anqi is such a pitiful child. We have to support her!"
Cang Xiaoxuan, Fu Hua and A Lin all nodded, agreeing with Ji Lin's correct nonsense.
Afterwards, everyone in Taixu Mountain fully exchanged their views with each other.
It was mainly Cang Xiaoxuan who was analyzing the situation, with Fu Hua interjecting from time to time, while the confused A Lin and the pretending to be ignorant Ji Lin nodded in agreement throughout.
However, in the end, no perfect strategy was worked out.
It should be said that there is no perfect strategy for this kind of problem. Angie will always be hurt, it's just a matter of degree.
After Cang Xiaoxuan pondered for a long time, he shook his head tiredly and sighed:
"In fact, at this point, advance arrangements are meaningless. What's important is that when the truth is revealed, we must have the confidence to protect little Angie no matter what. In other words, the key now is not Angie or anyone else, but you, you stupid fool!"
"Ok?"
"You have become weak, so weak that you are easily controlled by Otto Apocalis. You are so weak that you can't even protect Angie's life in the current situation. The weak have no choice. This is the root cause of your anxiety."
Cang Xiaoxuan said this in a decisive tone, and there was a sharp light in his eyes when he turned to Fu Hua.
Fu Hua's hands trembled for a moment, then she pursed her lips and lowered her head in silence.
Yes, if she was still the invincible Red Ibis Immortal, then whether to support Angel to the end, or to stop the conflict between Angel and the people of Saint Freya while ensuring safety, or to make other choices, it was Fu Hua's freedom.
But now, no matter which path she takes, she is not absolutely sure.
The root cause of not being able to choose is the lack of strength.
"My injuries are too severe. Both my body and my mind are overwhelmed... You are right. The reason I am so uneasy is because I know that even if I risk my life, I cannot absolutely protect Angie."
"Then the problem is simple. Don't dwell too much on the damage that has already been prevented, but focus on the day that is destined to come! On the day when Angie is most vulnerable, we must ensure that she gets through it safely before we can talk about the future."
"But, my injuries are so severe that even Otto can't seem to help. There's no way I can get better!"
"Don't panic, I have other ways, and I've already been communicating and preparing. Also, don't forget those two silly girls over there, you're not alone, you dumbass."
There was a hint of smile in Cang Xiaoxuan's voice.
Fu Hua looked over as she was told, and saw Ji Lin and A Lin looking at her with smiles on their faces. Their beautiful eyes, like crystal clear gems, were full of support and encouragement for her.
Fu Hua was stunned for a moment, and then, her anxious mood because of An Qi suddenly eased a lot.
Chapter 173 Worthy of being Lord Skyfire
As soon as Gray Snake entered the conference room, he saw the Jackal lying face down on the table, with thick brown curly hair wrapped around his hot and voluptuous devilish body, but his motionless appearance made him look like some kind of large canine that had lost its soul.
"Lord Skyfire, what happened to the Jackal?"
"I have been studying the data of fusion warriors without sleep, so when I entered the room just now, even my steps were floating."
“It turns out that I was working too much.”
The gray snake looked at the prone figure of the jackal and his tone softened.
Who wouldn’t give a thumbs up to colleagues who work hard for a great cause?
Tianhuo swung his chubby legs in a noble and cold manner, and said calmly:
"Maybe we shouldn't give her so much information at once. I see a familiar and disturbing enthusiasm in her."
"Uh, you mean... that adult?"
Gray Snake stroked the chin of his mask thoughtfully.
The core data of the fusion warriors is actually confidential. For a long time, it has been stored only in the Gray Snake's data network and has never been opened to the Jackal.
It's not that he doesn't trust her, but the fusion warrior experiment is extremely radical and its results are extremely uncontrollable. The excessive consumption and the extremely easy runaway experimental results are not in line with the World Snake's long-standing action policy.
If it weren't for the return of Tianhuo, which provided the absolute force to suppress the accident in the experiment, and Taixu Mountain's request to treat Fu Hua, these data might have been sealed in the Gray Snake's database forever.
Gray Snake had no objection to opening up the data, but he did have some objections to Skyfire's hints.
"I think you're overthinking it. There's no comparison between the Jackal and the Doctor."
The affirmative tone revealed Gray Snake's absolute respect for Mabius, the founder of fusion warriors.
I, Gray Snake, admit that Jackal is a good colleague, and his scientific research ability has barely reached the level of a treasure of civilization, but compared with that doctor, he is far behind in every sense.
Then the jackal raised its head and looked coldly at the gray snake with its pair of golden beast eyes.
"I seem to hear you looking down on me?"
"Jackal, your eyes?"
"Oh, it's nothing, I just made a little change on myself on a whim, don't worry about it."
"Are you crazy? You've only been exposed to this information for a few days, and you haven't even conducted any relevant human experiments yet, but you're adding the Honkai Impactor gene to your body. You're courting death!"
Gray Snake scolded fiercely.
With the emergence of Herrs one by one, the window period of the Stigmata Project is approaching. At this time, a person with good scientific research ability is crucial. Gray Snake cannot accept that the Jackal will kill himself at this time.
Then, he also realized the meaning of Tianhuo's words.
Apart from anything else, at least this kind of madness that others cannot understand does have some resemblance to Mebius.
The jackal slowly leaned back, twisted his neck and shoulders, and relaxed the heavy burden on his chest, saying nonchalantly:
"Fusion technology and super-transformation surgery are all mature technologies of previous civilizations. They are not unproven theories starting from scratch. What's so surprising about them? Besides, I am fine now, right? Not only did I not go berserk, but my physical fitness has been improved to a higher level. I will have more time to think and research in the future. This is really a good thing!"
The Jackal admired his own beautiful, translucent nails, but he knew that these delicate fingers that looked like works of art already had the power to tear Soul Steel apart, so he smiled with satisfaction.
Gray Snake suppressed the shock in his heart, and after his scarlet electronic eyes flashed for a while, he said coldly:
"This will not be used as an example. Your self-transformation experiment is temporarily prohibited."
"Hey! We are of the same level, right? Why do you boss me around? In terms of merit and hard work, am I any worse than you?"
"But you are not thinking straight now! Before the Stigmata Project is successfully implemented, your body and brain are not allowed to have any problems, even you are not allowed to mess up!"
"Fuck! I gave you face, didn't I!?"
The jackal slammed the table, its sharp nails piercing through the steel plate, leaving five holes on the table, while staring at the gray snake with imposing manner.
The two World Serpent officers were about to start fighting on the spot, when suddenly, a flash of fire passed by, piercing through the gunpowder-filled air and leaving a bloody mark on the jackal's face.
"Have you had enough of the quarrel?"
Tianhuo slowly lowered the little hand holding the Burning Sword, and sat upright on the mini throne with a cold expression. However, amazing heat and terrifying pressure spread in the room.
After a moment, the gray snake and the jackal lowered their heads at the same time.
"Excuse me, I was impulsive, Lord Tianhuo."
"Tsk! I get it!"
Different sounds came out of their mouths, but both of them looked submissive.
Tianhuo's expression softened a bit, and he said:
"Gray Snake's concerns are not unreasonable. Jackal, I respect your professionalism, but you still have to be careful. I don't want the experimental accident I deal with one day to come out of your body."
"Okay, okay, I'll be more restrained next time, okay?"
The Jackal muttered and sat down.
And the gray snake also breathed a sigh of relief silently.
This smart but difficult to control colleague sometimes really gives him a headache, but fortunately there is Lord Tianhuo to keep him under control! As expected of Lord Kevin's armed puppet, it is so reassuring!
After routinely reinforcing his faith in Kevin and Skyfire, Gray Snake coughed dryly and got down to business.
"Tai Xushan has again asked about the treatment of Master Hua. Jackal, how is your research progress on the data? Are you sure?"
"No!"
