Yan Jiaojiao failed to see Li Yanting and made a fuss. She even carried an empty flowerpot and threw it from the balcony on the second floor next door. It hit the corridor between the two floors with a crisp sound.
He Sheng stood up and came to the window, met Yan Jiaojiao's provocative gaze, closed the window with a smile, and shut out what Yan Jiaojiao was about to say.
When faced with an unnecessary provocation from someone, the best way is to ignore her.
Let her hit her hard fist on the soft cotton, suffocate her to death.
Shutting out Yan Jiaojiao's voice outside the window, the few of them discussed for a while.
After confirming the progress of wall construction and other defensive measures, Qiao Hua finally made a decision: "Since he wants to send people and we can't stop him, let's open the door to welcome guests."
"When the time comes, there will be no way for the people at Sihai Base to overturn Qinghe's territory," Qiao Hua said.
The pharmaceutical factory that Ji Hui was in charge of had just resumed operation and was still in need of people. After the discussion, he left and rushed back.
Liu Chenghe and Li Yanting are also supervising the construction of the fence and cannot delay too long.
However, when He Sheng and Li Yanting were about to leave, Qiao Hua asked them to stay for a while. He turned around and saw that Liu Chenghe didn't intend to leave either, and his tone suddenly changed.
"Waiting for me to treat you to dinner?" Qiao Hua raised his eyelids and glanced at Liu Chenghe.
Liu Chenghe grinded his teeth and squeezed out a few words between his teeth: "...who cares."
Then he waved his hand, turned around casually, kicked off his military boots and went out.
"Is there anything else?" Li Yanting asked.
"It may be a bit presumptuous, but I do it for your own good." Qiao Hua's eyes swept past the place where Liu Chenghe sat, and there was a bee sitting there quietly, without attracting anyone's attention.
"Although Yan Shizhao sent people here this time, it is mostly to take back his sister, but with you here, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not attack the city of refuge."
Qiao Hua had something to say, and He Sheng made several guesses, but still deliberately misinterpreted his meaning.
"You want to drive us away?" He Sheng looked displeased, holding Li Yanting's hand and looking a little menacing, "We helped you bring down Xu Kewei, and you want to cross the river and burn the bridge if you turn around?"
"Of course not, I, Qiao Hua, am not that kind of person."
Qiao Hua denied it and was silent for a moment. Seeing He Sheng's expression of calmness and a bit of eagerness, he finally felt that he had figured out these two people, so he calmly said: "You will always be my brothers in the city of refuge."
"Then what do you want to do?" He Sheng asked.
"We cannot just sit back and wait for death when a powerful enemy invades." Qiao Hua said slowly, as if he was reasonable. "In order to resist Yan Shizhao, the best way is to improve the defense capabilities of the refuge city."
"The most direct and practical way is to increase the level of superpower users."
"Do you want He Sheng to sort out the abilities of so many people by himself?" Li Yanting frowned, and his tone was harsh, and he could hear his anger rising.
He Sheng quickly pulled Li Yanting's hand with a small gesture. The play could not be overdone. It was the best outcome for Qiao Hua to bring up the matter now.
Qiao Hua: "Don't be impatient for a moment. The abilities of the superpowers in our city have increased, which is also good for you."
Li Yanting's reaction was unexpected by Qiao Hua.
The reliever is always the counter scale of the superpower.
How could there be a person with superpowers who is so broad-minded that he allows his rescuer to help other people with superpowers increase their strength?
The fact that he could call He Sheng to help him already touched Li Yanting's objections. It was just that Li Yanting was under someone else's care and had to make concessions.
Now he was about to peel off his reverse scales with blood on them. How could he remain indifferent?
Qiao Hua was not impatient and said slowly: "You also know that Yan Shizhao is a lunatic. He will not give up halfway when chasing you. Once he knows that Qinghe Refuge City has taken you in, he will definitely regard Qinghe as a thorn in his side.
.”
"Sihai Base is the largest city of refuge in the eastern region, so its strength cannot be underestimated. Just sending out a small team to attack is enough to give us a drink."
"So in order to be able to face the challenge more calmly, shouldn't you also provide some help within your ability?"
"You should understand what I'm saying, and I can understand your desire to protect your rescuer and lover, but right now, keeping your place of refuge is the most important thing, isn't it?" Qiao Hua persuaded.
Li Yanting remained silent, his stern face and muscle outline looming, and even He Sheng couldn't tell whether he was really angry or just acting with her.
At this time, He Sheng had no choice but to speak, pretending to be considerate and pulling Li Yanting to ease the atmosphere: "We will go back and consider this proposal, but there are too many people with superpowers, I..."
"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer." Qiao Hua had already planned it. Seeing He Sheng relaxed, he quickly laid out his conditions.
"As a reliever, you should also know how to identify the properties of the crystal core. I will send someone to assist you. I will collect 20% of the reward for identifying the crystal core, and sorting out the abilities will be calculated by the number of times and levels. After that, we will divide the accounts between four and six.
.There are four of you, and I’ll take six.”
"You don't have to do anything to take away more than half of the crystal core. This is unreasonable."
Li Yanting behind him responded with a harsh expression, and He Sheng quickly pulled him behind him and negotiated terms with Qiao Hua in a hurry.
"It's not just Li Yanting and I who benefit from this, you are also the beneficiary." He Sheng stood in front of Li Yanting, looking especially like a little white rabbit protecting the big bad wolf.
"We have to take six!" He Sheng gritted his teeth.
"Impossible." Qiao Hua refused flatly. He also had many people to feed, so how could He Sheng take away most of it.
"Let's go." Li Yanting finally couldn't bear it anymore. He grabbed He Sheng's arm with anger and started to drag him out.
"Li Yanting!" He Sheng quickly grabbed him, but Li Yanting's force was too strong. He dragged her and slid on the ground. It seemed that the scene was a little too much. "Don't be impulsive. I can still discuss it with him..."
"It's the same when we leave here. There's no need to hang ourselves on a tree."
Li Yanting interrupted He Sheng's words and raised his hand to caress He Sheng's anxious face, with eyes filled with distress and reluctance: "I will definitely give you a stable life, you don't need to be so tired."
"Li Yanting..." He Sheng lowered his head in emotion and was taken into his arms by Li Yanting.
"Let's get out of here." Li Yanting said.
Qiao Hua finally couldn't stand it any longer, gritted his teeth and gave up another 10%: "50-50 split, this is my bottom line."
"I think..." He Sheng hesitated after hearing the sound, then raised his head as if he wanted to convince Li Yanting.
"No, let's leave." Li Yanting suppressed He Sheng and hugged him, "I said, I can give you a stable life with my own abilities."
Qiao Hua immediately became anxious, patted the table, stood up, and chased for a few steps: "You six and me four! I give in for the last time! Li Yanting, don't push yourself too hard. If you leave Qinghe Refuge City, where else can you go?"
Li Yanting paused when he heard the sound, but it was because He Sheng was lying in his arms, and the carp was holding his neck like a stiff fish to resist.
"I'm not tired." He Sheng's voice sounded like she was about to cry. The voice was very low, falling right next to Li Yanting's ear, but Qiao Hua could hear it clearly.
"I want to be with you and settle down. I don't want you to be in danger every day. If you stay in the city of refuge, you can at least live a peaceful life." He Sheng clung to Li Yanting's neck and was about to cry.
Li Yanting stood there, as if he had been fighting with himself for a long time, and finally answered weakly and angrily: "...I promise."
