Chapter 723: Suppression
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xue Xi did not notice his strange behavior and continued softly, “That’s my teacher. He once helped me a lot, but after I found out about his identity, I’ve been very curious. Fang Yi’s special power is healing. Logically speaking, she’s already very powerful, but she’s only a P10. Do you think my teacher’s special power is omnipotent?”
Xiang Huai: “...Are you planning to ask him for help?”
Xue Xi: “No.”
The girl lowered her voice and said softly, “There’s no need to bother the teacher for such a small matter. I’m just curious.”
Xiang Huai: “...”
He touched his nose guiltily and coughed before saying, “Very few people know the boss of the special department. They only know that he took over the special department at the age of 18. When he first took over, the people below were also very unconvinced. They felt, how could a young lad be the boss? Later, a few P10 people got angry and challenged him to a one-on-one fight. In the end...”
Xue Xi walked forward and listened to the story. “What was the result?”
Xiang Huai smiled. “Of course, those people lost. But what’s amazing is that those P10 people kept silent about his special power. His special power became mysterious because of this, and very few people know about it.”
Xue Xi was stunned. “Huh?”
He was so mysterious. Why did everyone know that he was formidable? Why did they not dare to expose him?
As though hearing her doubts, Xiang Huai smiled again. “Do you know that there’s an international alliance for espers?”
Xue Xi shook her head.
She had learned all about espers from Jing Fei, so how could she know this?
Xiang Huai said, “The International Union of Espers is an alliance that manages espers from all over the country. You guys are more formidable than ordinary people. Correspondingly, you guys receive more restrictions. And the International Union has a mysterious esper college. Those who graduate from that college basically go on to become the bosses of the special departments in each country after they return.”
Xue Xi sensitively caught the problem. “In other words, Omnipotent Boss graduated from this school?”
Xiang Huai nodded. “This school accepts only national elites and recruits two students every ten years. Not only that, but graduating from it is also extremely difficult. Up until now, there are still students who haven’t graduated after thirty years in the school. And this boss you’re talking about was recruited ten years ago. He graduated in only two years and is the fastest student to graduate since the school was founded.
“After that, the leaders of the various esper groups received news about this esper. Everyone made a judgment. His esper abilities are very powerful and he is the world’s number one.”
As Xiang Huai and Xue Xi walked out, they subconsciously became more talkative. “You should know that there are competitions between all the countries in the world. Espers are also a part of the competition. Whichever country has more espers, their overall strength will be stronger. Back then, China could only barely compete with the other countries, but ever since this boss joined, China became the world’s number one. From then on, the other countries no longer dared to invade!”
As Xue Xi listened to these stories, she felt her blood boil. “Then what exactly is the teacher’s special power? Why is it so scary?”
Xiang Huai lowered his eyes and smiled. “I don’t know what it is exactly. I only know that his special power can’t be used lightly. Once used, he can flatten a city.”
So formidable!
Xue Xi’s eyes were filled with admiration.
Wasn’t razing a city something only an atomic bomb could do?
However, she quickly understood that her teacher’s superpower was too strong. It was so strong that it could not be used casually. However, as long as he was there, he would be China’s national stabilizer!
Such a teacher could give people a sense of security.
She was also secretly honored and she praised, “How amazing.”
After saying that, she turned around and realized that Xiang Huai’s expression was a little strange. It seemed awkward, proud, and even more hesitant...
What’s going on?
Xue Xi thought for a moment and thought that she understood. She said, “Don’t worry. Even if you don’t have a special power, I won’t look down on you. In this world, ordinary people are the mainstream. My special power is useless and I am no different from ordinary people.”
Xiang Huai: “?”
He lowered his eyes and sighed. “But I keep feeling that I’m too weak to protect the little kid.”
Xue Xi held his hand. “It’s fine. I’ll protect you.”
Xiang Huai smiled and stared at Xue Xi warmly.
He held Xue Xi’s palm, but his eyes flickered with a light that could not be seen clearly. “By the way, are you still taking the medicine I gave you?”
Xue Xi shook her head. “No.”
The medicine from before was to suppress the curse of dying if she did not fall in love. However, now that she was dating Xiang Huai almost every day, she naturally did not need to take the medicine.
Xiang Huai’s eyes turned gentle. “Mhm, you don’t have to take it anymore.”
He reached out and rubbed Xue Xi’s hair.
Jing Fei’s words flashed across her mind. “I don’t know who gave Sister Xi drugs to suppress her special power. Why did they do that?”
Xiang Huai’s eyes flickered as he suddenly said, “Let’s eat together for the next week, alright?”
Xue Xi: “...Okay.”
...
At the borders of China.
In a warm and cozy little mountain village sat a dilapidated but neat straw hut.
In the room, Ji Silin, who was dressed in white, was sitting there. He was doing volunteer medical consultations for the people who came to the village. When everyone who could not afford a doctor because of their poverty left, the thatched house finally quietened down.
Ji Silin stood up and carefully washed every finger before standing by the window to look out.
Time passed really quickly. She had grown from a young girl into a slender and elegant lady.
Unfortunately, it was very difficult for her brother to coax her to do anything.
After an unknown period of time, footsteps came from outside. A man dressed in black and looking ordinary appeared at the door. When he saw Ji Silin, he bowed respectfully and did not speak.
Ji Silin picked up a bottle of medicine and passed it to the man. He slowly said, “Same old rules. Put it into her food silently. You must have her take it.”
The man nodded respectfully.
Ji Silin paused and added, “She’s much more sensitive than before. Remember, don’t leave any traces.”
“Yes.”
After saying that, the man took a look at Ji Silin’s expression. Seeing the doctor’s gentle expression, he could not help but ask in confusion, “Why did you suppress her special power? Isn’t it better to let her learn other people’s special powers?”
When Ji Silin heard this, a white light flashed across his glasses. He rubbed his eyes and slowly said, “Because Master hasn’t returned yet, she shouldn’t be exposed too early.”
The man wanted to say something, but Ji Silin paused. “Do I need you to teach me how to do things?”
The man instantly lowered his head and did not dare to speak further as he left.
