816 Becoming popular upon returning (1/2)
”Take care.”
Qing Yang sent off both Su Hao and Wei Zhuang with a calm expression. His face even showed a hint of a smile. His indifferent appearance revealed the majesty of a world esper, and it was completely different from his ugly, dark look earlier. It was as if what happened earlier was just everyone's imagination.
”Senior isn't mad?” A technical staff member felt relieved.
”Hehe, from where do you see that senior isn't mad?”
”Do you know how mad is senior right now?” Another technical staff pointed at Qing Yang.
”I heard that when senior is so angry that he could no longer hold himself, he will use Rule Force to keep his body as peaceful as possible...”
A certain technical staff had his body tremble upon hearing this.
Rule Force? Use it to control his expression? It's either his Rule Force is too much that he has nowhere to use it, or Senior Qing Yang is already on the verge of eruption.
”Glad to cooperate with you.” Su Hao shook hands with a smile and then took Wei Zhuang away.
”Let's go back.”
Watching Su Hao leaving, Qing Yang remained indifferent as if nothing had ever happened.
However, according to a record, that Origin Ability Association's branch was destroyed with Rule Force that evening, which shocked everyone. It was said that Senior Qing Yang used his Rule Force to destroy the branch in order to avoid going berserk...
Tian family, at the official hall.
The people in charge of the Tian family were discussing matters. Even Tian Gang and Tian Zi were present. When they heard that Xie Te and the others were back, they couldn't help but feel glad.
”What about the Nitai artifacts?” An elder asked quickly, seeing Xie Te and the others return.
Xie Te looked sad.
”What happened?” The elder's heart skipped a beat, ”Could it be...”
”Sorry.” Xie Te looked down and said in an ashamed tone, ”The mission failed.”
”What?”
Everyone was shocked. Looking at Xie Te and the others who came back unharmed, their face revealed a strange look, ”It can't be you all didn't even get to see the Nitai artifacts?”
Thinking about it, that was literally the only explanation.
Under normal circumstances, when a mission fails, it means the wipe of an entire team. For Xie Te and the others to be able to return intact could only mean one thing, everything is going well. Xie Te smiled bitterly and was just about to say something. Tian Zi, who just silently watched them, suddenly spoke, ”Where is your teammate, that guy named Lin Hu?”
”Huh?”
Everyone had a look and then noticed that although no one was injured, only eight men remained. Two were missing!
”Dead.”
Xie Te looked sad, and he briefly explained everything. After listening, everyone was stunned. A world esper! A world esper actually took action! They knew of Xie Te and the others' strengths. Under full force, one versus five won't even be a problem. The only thing that could suppress him is a world esper!
A renowned world esper actually got himself involved in such a matter?
They were actually that free?
Tian Gang's gaze turned cold, ”Seems that we have underestimated the enemy's strength. Under our pressure, they actually sent a world esper to interfere with our missions. We need to respond in the same manner. Third Elder, let those who just stepped into the world realm have a walk on the other side.”
”Yes.” The third elder showed a merciless face.
”As for that Lin Hu...” Tian Gang sighed, ”During Tiankeng, I indeed still doubted him. Never would I imagine that he would be so affectionate and righteous. To dare stand in front of you when facing danger, he wasn't afraid at all even when confronting a world esper. Such talent is what our Tian family desperately needs. What a pity. I actually had more important missions for him.”
Tian Gang shook his head and then suddenly noticed Tian Zi's irrepressible smile. Frowning a bit, he seemed to have thought of something, ”Who asked Lin Hu to do this mission?”
Tian Zi was startled and quickly stood up, ”It's me.”
”Oh, sit down.” Tian Gang waved his hand, and no longer added any more words.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became depressed. Everyone seemed to have thought of something, and their gaze on Tian Zi also became strange. Tian Zi's face turned blue and white for a moment. Those skeptical eyes really angered him. He just let Lin Hu perform a dangerous mission. It's not like he sent someone to kill Lin Hu!
However, would the others believe him?
Tian Zi, who was joyful of Lin Hu's death, immediately received a basin of cold water.
”I won't blame any of you. Since it's a world esper who took action, you all are helpless in stopping him.” Tian Gang looked at Xie Te and others, ”Go back and have a rest. Get ready for the next mission.”
”Yes.”
Xie Te and the others respectfully exited.
The daily meeting ended in a hasty manner. Originally, if nothing unexpected happened, this event wouldn't have ended like this. However, never would one imagine that at night, a shocking piece of news came to them. That man named Lin Hu returned! He was actually still alive! He came back alive!
Xie Te was stunned. Everyone from Team F was shocked too.
The moment when Tian Gang and the other elders received this news, they instantly gathered everyone into the hall again. At the same time, Su Hao also was there.
”You're indeed still alive.” Xie Te pinched Su Hao for a second to check if he was real.
Tian Gang glanced at Su Hao for a second. Using his Rule Force to scan him, there was no trace of camouflage or energy identified. This man was indeed Lin Hu.
