If they had to blame anything, they could only blame the fact that there were too many people in Bai Jing’s team, and the ranks of the ability users were too high . Even if they ignored the fact that Xiao Sa had disappeared, there were still seven level four ability users and many level three ability users . Perhaps other than Bai Jingcheng, none of the other factions would welcome such a team because no matter whose hands the team fell into, it would tip the balance between the powers in the base .
The Zhou Family was just making use of this loophole in order to deal with them in an open way . Although they claimed that it was for the sake of a mission, n.o.body bothered to search too deeply into their own hearts . There were four major factions in the base, and none of them were willing to see Bai Jingcheng sitting on the throne . Although they were afraid of Xiao Sa retaliating against them, the person taking the lead was someone else, and they could just sit back and watch the Zhou Family push ahead . Why shouldn’t they just sit on the fence and wait for the results?
That night, Bai Jingcheng returned home in anger, his face gloomy as though covered in storm clouds . As soon as he got back to his study, he smashed everything in the room, and when he heard knocking at the door, he glared at it fiercely, knowing that it was Zhou Suyun waiting outside .

“Oh, what’s going on, why are you so angry?” Zhou Suyun opened the door with a smile . Her figure was slender and graceful, and although she was clearly fifty years old, she only looked to be around thirty with no wrinkles at all on her bright face .
“Leave . ” Bai Jingcheng restrained his expression and looked at her indifferently .
Zhou Suyun gave a light laugh and ignored his anger . Instead, she took a few steps forward, “What happened earlier for you to get angry about it now? Oh, right, by the way, your wayward son has gone missing . Tsk, tsk, what a pity . Say, if all of his people died, would he hate you to death?”
Bai Jingcheng took a deep breath to calm himself . He knew it wasn’t yet time to break ties with the Zhou Family yet, “It’s none of your business . ”
“Humph!” Zhou Suyun sneered, “Bai Jingcheng, I’m telling you . If it wasn’t for my Zhou Family, you wouldn’t be where you are today . Don’t burn the bridge after you’ve crossed it . ”
“Will you only be satisfied if I offer up my power to you guys with both hands?”” Bai Jingcheng spoke calmly, and there was no fluctuation on his expressionless face .
Zhou Suyun’s expression suddenly changed for a moment as she angrily rushed towards the door . However, right before she left, she turned and looked back at Bai Jingcheng, saying maliciously, “Don’t make it sound like such a good thing . If you have the guts to do it, then tear down our relations.h.i.+p right now . I’ll go and give your son a wonderful surprise!”

“Bang!” The door slammed shut, and the sound of high-heeled shoes striking the floor s.h.i.+fted away . The house became quiet once again .
“Mom, did you quarrel with Dad again?” Seeing Zhou Suyun coming down the stairs, Bai Rui smiled in a well-behaved manner and hugged her arm .

Zhou Suyun’s expression recovered as she looked lovingly down at her daughter, “Dear, when are you going to be changing your last name? Don’t concern yourself over these adult matters . All you have to worry about is getting along with Haoran . Men don’t like pampered women . ”
“I know . ” Bai Rui pouted, then supported Zhou Suyun to settle down on the sofa . She complained in dissatisfaction, “Haoran is busy every day and has no time to accompany me . ”
“Of course . Men have to deal with big things; you should be a bit more understanding and sensible . ” Zhou Suyun’s smile was a bit more gentle . She had been young once, and naturally understood her daughter’s mentality . If the environment permitted, she would also have wanted her daughter to enjoy a proper courts.h.i.+p .
“But he spends time with Liu Wenjing every day . ” Bai Rui’s brows drew together in a frown, eradicating the beauty of her features .
Zhou Suyun was indifferent to this and counselled her daughter, “Men like to mess around before marriage . Didn’t your father still manage to have an illegitimate child even after marrying me? You should be a bit more tolerant of these things . It’ll be better after you have children . ”
Bai Rui was still unwilling as she shook Zhou Suyun’s arm, “Can’t you think of a way? I get so angry when I see Liu Wenjing . Mother, can’t you just––”
Patting her daughter’s hand, Zhou Suyun’s gaze turned dark, “Rest a.s.sured, Mother has her own power . Right now, you shouldn’t do anything randomly . Haoran’s situation is quite sensitive currently, but later on, won’t you be able to deal with her however you like?”
Bai Rui’s small face collapsed . “How long will that be?”
Zhou Suyun laughed unconcernedly, “Relax . It won’t be long before Qi Haoran realizes exactly how he needs to choose if he doesn’t want to go up against both the Bai and Zhou Families . Right now, you should focus on practicing your abilities so that outsiders won’t have any chance to belittle you . ”
Bai Rui gathered a ball of water in her hand and then retrieved it immediately after . “Can’t you just give me a few more bottles of gene solution?”
Zhou Suyun’s expression sank as she scolded, “What are you treating the research inst.i.tute as? It was already bending the rules just to get you a few bottles . Who else do you have to blame for your state, not practicing properly and not being able to advance? Even if I work in the research inst.i.tute, I can’t afford to do any more . ”
Gene solution could help ability users advance, but it also depended on their innate talent . For some, one solution would be enough while others might take ten and still not advance . Bai Rui was one of the more difficult cases . She didn’t go out to fight and was pampered and spoiled at home; even after the apocalypse, she had Bai Jingcheng and the Zhou Family to support her and didn’t have to worry about anything . As a Young Miss who was high above others, the only use she had was to supply water for the base . Later on, as the base continued to expand and they developed disinfecting agents for water, her powers became basically redundant . She had never really practiced before and now had even less opportunity to use her powers, so it wasn’t surprising that Zhu Suyun had spent a lot of effort to provide seven bottles of level three gene solution with nary a sign of success .
