Chapter 453 - 13: Our Shared Secret 2
Xuerou’s father is also a Superpower User? Before leaving Meijia Village, aside from telling Xiao Xian about the Mei Family’s Cultivation matters, Mei Nian specifically mentioned the concept of Superpower Enhancers.
Those who are not born with abilities but awaken through acquired means and do not have ancestral inheritances are considered Superpower Enhancers. According to Mei Nian, most Superpower Enhancers are protected by research institutions and most of them reside abroad.
Who would have thought that Xuerou’s father was also a Superpower Enhancer? No wonder she was so composed when Mei Nian told her about the existence of Cultivators.
"Sit down, standing so high up, I’m afraid the people in the car outside monitoring us will notice," Zeng Xuerou glanced at the car parked outside the villa fence. She had noticed the car earlier in the day when Mrs. Zeng came to pick them up.
The same car that Xuerou encountered when she went to the "Plum Rice Ball" shop, but the car following them today seemed more professional. It seemed that after the previous failed tracking, the opponents had switched to professionals.
"Don’t be surprised, my father’s little tricks are nothing compared to your ability to predict the age of herbs. Unfortunately, my father has passed away, otherwise, he could have taught you some of this knowledge."
Xuerou told Xiao Xian that her father was a Superpower User when she was about six or seven years old, on her first ride in a racing car. At that time, to calm his continuously crying daughter, her father played a game of guessing the color of the car behind them.
Zeng Xuerou’s eyes dimmed with sadness; despite his talents, her father ultimately couldn’t prevent his own car accident.
"Xuerou, does this mean we share a secret?" Xiao Xian felt relieved; Xuerou had intentionally told her this. Sharing a secret would elevate their friendship.
"Of course, ever since the night you burst into Huang Tengchong’s villa to save me, I’ve wanted to share this secret with you. It’s been tiring keeping it alone for so many years. I haven’t even thanked you in person," Xuerou smiled, seemingly relieved.
"What are you saying? It was only right, and besides, it was I who caused the trouble, the business with the siblings of the Xu Family." Xiao Xian glanced again at the car outside the fence. There were no lights in the car, but someone was smoking; with her eyesight, aided by the red glow of the cigarette butts, she could make out three or four people sitting inside.
"They deserve it, even if you hadn’t acted that night, I would have gone for it myself. But Xiao Xian, you did mess up this time," Zeng Xuerou looked toward the car and said calmly: "You were too merciful when you made your move. When dealing with bad people, you need to eliminate them completely, otherwise, it just brings trouble to innocents." The person Xuerou spoke of... was Xu Lan Ya.
Xiao Xian remained silent, unconsciously touching the two bracelets on her hand.
Perhaps realizing her tone was too harsh, Zeng Xuerou chuckled, "I’ve been watching ’Young and Dangerous’ recently, I’ve learned pretty well, huh. Hey, what’s that on your hand? Bracelets?" The innate love for beauty finally showed on Zeng Xuerou.
Zeng Xuerou took Xiao Xian’s hand, examining the two bracelets on her wrist. One was from Plum Building and the other was the Dragon Pattern Bracelet transformed from Little White Jiao.
"How beautiful? Both are very beautiful, they feel soft, must be pure silver, right? The craftsmanship is really good," Zeng Xuerou first picked up the plum blossom bracelet, looking at the exquisite carvings in the light of the room. Xuerou’s mother liked collecting jewelry, so Xuerou could also discern the quality.
The two bracelets looked like silver jewelry, which theoretically shouldn’t be expensive, but the exquisite craftsmanship made up for the material flaws. Xiao Xian had worn the plum blossom bracelet for several years, and its brightness under the light was maintained by the Spiritual Energy she carried.
However, with Xuerou’s more masculine personality, compared to the beautifully exquisite plum blossom bracelet that tinkled gently in her hand, she preferred the other Dragon Pattern Bracelet.
"Tsk, this carving work, it’s just like the real thing, every dragon scale is vividly alive. Look at the dragon’s tail and head, the bracelet’s only one centimeter thick, how can it be carved so beautifully and still be so soft?" Xuerou took the Dragon Pattern Bracelet from Xiao Xian’s hand and fiddled with it.
She bent it this way and that, and the Dragon Pattern Bracelet transformed into various shapes in her hands. Xiao Xian inwardly cried out, seeing Little White Jiao’s eyes bulge out, looking like he was about to die any moment.
Fortunately, at that moment, Zhang Yiyi, who had finished watching TV downstairs, came up. Seeing Xiao Xian and Xuerou hiding on the balcony whispering, she also clamored to join.
"Alright, you three have to catch a train early tomorrow, still messing around here, go to sleep quickly. Xiao Rou, you’re the oldest, don’t you act like a big sister? Go back to your room and sleep," Mrs. Zeng heard their playful noise, came up, and seeing the three sitting on the balcony railing squashed together like steamed buns in a cage, got startled. She hurriedly had them come down and rushed them off to bed.
"Mom, I want to sleep with Xiao Xian and them tonight, you go back and rest first, don’t worry, we won’t be late in the morning," Xuerou pushed Mrs. Zeng out the door, and the room’s lights quickly went out.
The sedan parked outside Zeng’s villa never left. The driver in the driver’s seat of the car, after the lights in the room dimmed, took out his cell phone and spoke into the phone, "Clan leader, we’ve confirmed it, the people you are looking for are all inside the Zeng girl’s home. Once you arrive early tomorrow, we’ll make our move."
(Some people say my stories heavily veer off track, but I know, pure farming stories shouldn’t be written like this; it would lose readers.
But, Fu Zi is just a stubborn Gemini woman, no matter what, I will continue to finish writing this story.
I’ve been writing here for eight months and admit my shortcomings, which I’m correcting. During the process, I also need to find my own unique aspects, and I’m working hard to learn.)
