"Lélie, you take this girl from the Fei family home. Shanshan, take him home. Leave this one to me." The sexy woman slowly walked over with a cold expression. She only glanced at Li Xiang for a moment before she started to give orders to her subordinates.
Compared to the four of them, she was obviously more interested in the member of the "Tarot" organization on the ground. After waving her hand impatiently, Bai Shanshan immediately got up and dragged Li Xiang away.
Bai Shanshan knew her sister's temper very well. If she disobeyed her orders, she would end up in a terrible state.
Bai Shanshan pulled Li Xiang's hand and walked quickly through the streets. After they left the alley, she whispered to him, "Thank you for just now."
"It's nothing." Li Xiang paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded as he led the way.
"Sister Shanshan, my family's … situation is a little bad. If you don't mind, please come in and have a seat." After a while, Li Xiang brought her to a run-down neighborhood. As they walked into the neighborhood, Bai Shanshan's expression slowly became a little strange.
As a young lady from the Bai family, she had never really stepped into a neighborhood where commoners lived. When she looked at Li Xiang again, her expression was a little complicated.
"I don't mind, I don't mind." Bai Shanshan waved her hand. Her mission was to escort Li Xiang home. Moreover, there were many things that she needed to warn him about tonight. He had saved her life, so there were some things that she should do her best to help him.
Since she said so, Li Xiang didn't say anything else.
"Yetong, I'm back." Li Xiang opened the door. At this hour, his sister should be asleep. However, when he opened the door, he found his sister sitting on the bed. When she saw that he had returned, a smile appeared on her gloomy face.
"Brother, hmm? She is … "Li Yetong stole a glance at Bai Shanshan behind him. She was dressed like a typical soldier from the military. Why would someone from the military come to their house?
"Sister Shanshan, this is my sister, Li Yetong. Ye Tong, this is Bai Shanshan, a military officer. " Li Xiang didn't mention the relationship between the two of them or the reason why Bai Shanshan was here. The smart Li Yetong nodded and didn't ask any more questions. She just sweetly greeted Bai Shanshan.
Bai Shanshan sat down casually and couldn't help but sigh with emotion about their living conditions. Li Xiang briefly explained their current situation, and Bai Shanshan sighed again.
"Sister Yetong's illness is very rare. As you know, ever since the cataclysm, our bodies have improved a lot. I suspect that there's a cause for her illness. I personally suggest that you go to a better hospital. " Bai Shanshan held a cup of hot tea and said slowly, "Oh right, Li Xiang, with your results, it shouldn't be a problem for you to go to a normal military university. The facilities in the affiliated hospital of the military university are very good. You should have a chance to cure Sister Yetong's illness."
"Got it. Thank you, Sister Shanshan." Li Xiang nodded and thanked her.
"Alright, that's all for the small talk. Tonight's incident, Li Xiang … "Bai Shanshan glanced at Li Yetong and finally continued," Pretend that nothing happened tonight. You saved my life, and I'm very grateful. So I won't pursue the matter of you stealing my gun, but don't ever do something like this again. "
"No matter what the situation is, stealing a soldier's weapon without permission will be treated as an enemy and killed on the spot." Bai Shanshan said in a low voice with a serious expression, "Also, don't tell anyone that you've been able to activate my weapon."
The second half of her sentence was very vague, and her voice was very low. Li Yetong's eyelashes fluttered, and she continued reading, pretending that she didn't hear anything.
Li Xiang nodded solemnly. He wasn't stupid. Bai Shanshan's words implied that it was very unusual for him to be able to activate her weapon. He also knew the reason why he was able to activate it successfully. Such a special ability, at least he hadn't seen it on anyone or in any books.
If he accidentally let it slip, he might be suspected and used as a lab rat. There might even be a worse outcome.
Their gazes met, and after confirming that there was no mistake, they stopped talking about it.
Bai Shanshan explained some rules and important matters. She was backed by a branch of the Bai family, so it wouldn't be a problem for her to use some of her power to cover up what happened tonight. Besides, Lélie wasn't that kind of person. Even if he had ulterior motives, he wouldn't place his attention on a candidate who had some talent but didn't qualify as a player.
Digging deeper into Li Xiang's secrets might be more valuable and meaningful, but to Bai Shanshan, who came from the military, the most important thing was that he had saved her life.
Furthermore, this kind of special ability was very common in the large Bai family.
"Well, that's about it. I'll leave my 'steam text' with you. When you have a communication device in the future, you can contact me at any time. It's about filling in your application or anything else. I'll do my best to help you." Bai Shanshan brushed her blonde hair behind her ear and stood up to take out a small circular device from her shirt pocket. There was a screen and buttons on it, and it looked very high-tech.
* Hiss! *
Grayish-White gas surged in a few tiny test tubes on the back of the disk. Then, a white mist shot out from the front of the disk. The mist intertwined and formed a strange symbol.
After a while, the mist dissipated. Li Xiang and Li Yetong were surprised to find that this strange symbol was deeply imprinted in their minds.
"Wow, this is the Steam Script mentioned in the books." Li Yetong's eyes lit up. Her brother, Li Xiang, liked steam machines and other devices, but she liked steam technology more.
"Yes. When your leg is better, I'll give you a communicator. " Bai Shanshan walked over and touched Li Yetong's head. When she touched Li Yetong's body, the white dragon tattoo on her cheek twitched.
She pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted and touched her cheek subconsciously. The terrifying burning and stinging sensation still lingered. Li Yetong looked at her in confusion.
Bai Shanshan's brows gradually furrowed. She reached out and touched Li Yetong's forehead gently. Just as she touched her skin, that feeling came again!
This time, it would be the same!
"Bloodline suppression … How is this possible?" Bai Shanshan covered her mouth in shock. Li Xiang looked at her, and his expression changed.
"What's wrong, Sister Shanshan?" Li Yetong blinked her big eyes and asked. Her left hand secretly reached into the blanket. There was a small dagger hidden inside. It was a self-defense tool that her brother had left for her. At the same time, Li Xiang also moved toward the pile of machine parts in the room.
"Don't be nervous, you two!" Bai Shanshan sensed the change in the siblings. She instinctively reached out to protect the steam gun on her body. Then, she reached out and said, "I think I know why Sister Yetong's legs are paralyzed."
"Hmm?" Li Xiang retracted his hand from the steel pipe. His eyes were fixed on Bai Shanshan. At the same time, he exchanged glances with Li Yetong.
Her tone did not change, and her expression did not look like she was lying. However, her reaction just now was not fake either. She must be hiding something from the siblings.
"Relax first, both of you. Especially you, Li Xiang. The same thing will not happen to me a second time. " Bai Shanshan growled. After seeing Li Xiang shoot and kill without hesitation, she knew that this young man was different from his peers.
Li Xiang did not say anything. He waited for her explanation.
Bai Shanshan did not know why the atmosphere suddenly became so tense. She just changed her expression, and the siblings sensed the danger. Facing them, she felt like facing two poisonous snakes. If she was not careful, she would be bitten and poisoned to death.
"Alright, relax. If I want to deal with you, I guarantee that neither of you will live to see the sun tomorrow." Bai Shanshan waved her hand to signal them not to act rashly. Then, she sat by the bed and gently put her arm around Li Yetong's shoulder.
Li Yetong did not struggle. Her first thought was how to protect her brother and escape if something happened.
"Sister Yetong, do you have a tattoo on your body that is exactly the same as mine?" Bai Shanshan reached out and touched her cheek. The white dragon tattoo was very lifelike and exuded a faint sense of danger.
Li Yetong glanced at Li Xiang, then nodded slightly.
She slowly unbuttoned her shirt. There was indeed a white dragon tattoo on her fair skin that was exactly the same as Bai Shanshan's. However, compared to the one on her cheek, the one on Li Yetong's body was more eye-catching. The lines were clear, and it even exuded a faint golden glow.
She did not mention this to her brother. In fact, when she was in a coma, there was already a faint tattoo on her chest. It was just that she was young at that time, so it was not very obvious. By the time she noticed it, she was not young anymore. It was not good for her brother to see it in such an awkward position.
Most importantly, Li Yetong did not want her brother to be worried about her. She was a cripple, and her biggest taboo was to cause her brother trouble.
She knew very well that if it were not for her being a burden, her brother could go further and fly higher.
Bai Shanshan took a deep breath. Her expression kept changing. Tentatively, she reached out a finger and gently touched the tattoo on her chest. Then, as if she had been electrocuted, she quickly retracted her finger.
At this moment, she truly understood the so-called complicated feelings. Although these two little guys were sharp, they definitely did not know the meaning of this tattoo, nor the horror of the truth she had discovered.
Bai Shanshan smiled bitterly. Her emotions were fluctuating. After a long time, she said bitterly, "Do you know what this means?"
"The Bai family? I've seen this mark appear on many things related to the Bai family, "Li Xiang blurted out. He had a worst-case scenario in his heart. He hoped that it was not the case.
"It's not that simple. Those who have this mark are the most important successors of the Bai family! " Bai Shanshan exhaled softly. At that moment, many unpleasant memories surged in her mind. She forcefully suppressed the impulse in her heart and explained softly, "It's not convenient for me to explain the specific things inside, and it's hard for me to say. I can only tell you that if I'm not wrong, Sister Yetong will definitely be taken away by force. There's a high chance that your existence will be forcibly erased, and Li Xiang will most likely die. "
The siblings' bodies tensed up. Li Yetong almost pulled out the dagger in the quilt. Li Xiang stopped her in time with a look. This kind of trick was useless against Bai Shanshan.
"Sister Shanshan, you don't have to tell us." Li Xiang exhaled. In his mind, he quickly simulated a few possible scenarios. He thought about the probability of escaping unscathed. "So, we still have a choice?"
"Two choices. First, Sister Yetong will come with me now. I can guarantee your safety, Li Xiang. Second, I'll pretend that I never came here. You will leave Hou City tonight. The further the better. Never appear in public again." Bai Shanshan held her breath. After a long time, she slowly said these words.
It was the first time her gaze had been so serious. It was as if she wanted them to make a decision immediately.
