MTLNOVEL Chapter 436: Mother Bai's worries
When Lei Qian heard Master Li's words, he couldn't help but roll his eyes. Fight for the nation? Were they the only ones who had the responsibility to fight for the nation? What about the officials and the army commanders who were hiding behind the ability users?
They were being a bit hypocritical by asking them to stand and fight for the nation when they themselves were not willing.
He said to Master Li, "I will think about joining the army if you let me know what happened to the ability users who joined the base. Where are they? How are they? The total life and death graph. You understand? Without that, I am not foolish enough to jump into a pit that would ultimately lead me to death." Lei Qian was not a fool. If he was, then he would have lost his life in the hands of Li Wu long ago.
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Bai Meiyue. He said to her, "Let's go back. You must be tired? Let's go and have a little rest." Now that he knew that Bai Meiyue was carrying his child, of course, his affection towards her became even more intense.
While Lei Qian was speaking to Bai Meiyue, Master Li, who was refuted by him, stared at him with a hint of rage in his eyes. His expression had long darkened, and he seemed to be gritting his teeth.
But he still held his tongue and didn't say anything to Lei Qian. He knew that Lei Qian was unlike the other ability users whom they could fool with some sweet words. If he tried to confront Lei Qian, he was worried that the man would end up confronting him, and that would only cause the suspicion to strengthen.
He turned his head to the side and looked at the women, weak children and men who were hiding behind the survivors. Finally, his eyes fell on Bai Meiyue, who was standing next to Lei Qian. He had long heard about Lei Qian being close to Bai Meiyue.
He asked, "Are you Bai Meiyue?" He asked this question despite knowing that the woman was Bai Meiyue. He raised his head and looked up and down at Bai Meiyue, who was standing right in front of him. He could notice that the woman was looking rather sickly, but he also knew that Yu Miaomiao would not have wasted her time investigating this woman if she were not worthy.
Dacheng frowned when he heard Master Li question Bai Meiyue. he was about to speak, but before he could say a word, Lu Yin, who stood next to him, spoke up first, "That's right, she is Bai Meiyue."
Dacheng turned to scowl at Lu Yin, who was trying her best to suck up to Master Li now that the man was getting chummy with Yu Miaomiao. Of course he was not disappointed for he knew that all women were like this; they would suck up to the one who was in power while abandoning the one who helped them when they had nothing.
When Master Li heard that the woman was indeed Bai Meiyue, he nodded at Lu Yin and walked over to where she was standing. Then, ignoring the man who stood next to her like a guardian, he said to Bai Meiyue, "Miss Bai, Chief Yu is really hopeful regarding you. She would like it if you joined the base and the Supernatural Team. Think about it, if you join the base, then you will provide great assistance to the base and the revival of humanity."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned to look at him, and Lei Qian nearly lost his temper with the bastard. Now he understood why this bastard was here with his team. They were targeting Bai Meiyue from the start!
"You bastard! Do you think I am dead?!" Lei Qian roared as he pushed Bai Meiyue behind him. She was carrying their child, and this man wanted her to join the base where they would grind her until nothing was left. His entire body glowed with an orangish glow as if he were about to burst into flames.
Bai Meiyue placed her hand on the back of the man. She knew that they couldn't go to war with Yu Miaomiao at the moment, for the woman was waiting for them to make a mistake, and then she would be able to use it against them.
They might be strong, but they also had weaknesses, while Yu Miaomiao was a psychopath. A borderline crazy woman who would stop at nothing to get what she wanted. They couldn't fight with a woman who had nothing to lose.
Even Master Li stepped back when he saw Lei Qian suddenly going crazy; he frowned upon seeing his actions. He was there when Yu Miaomiao trapped Lei Qian with a bunch of soldiers pointing their guns at the man, but he didn't react so angrily even then. What made this man lose his temper all of a sudden?
Master Li looked at the man while Bai Meiyue pulled him back. She said to him, "There is no need to get angry. You still need to discuss a few things with the team. So keep your energy for that."
She then turned to look at Master Li with a complicated look in her eyes. Of course, she was not going to accept the order that Yu Miaomiao had passed, but she also knew that Yu Miaomiao would stop at nothing. The only option was to kill that woman, but Bai Meiyue knew that it was impossible for the time being.
Since she could not kill Yu Miaomiao, she knew that the woman would simply continue chasing after her. She knew Yu Miaomiao well enough to understand this.
Now that Yu Miaomiao had fixed her eyes on her, Bai Meiyue was already prepared to leave this place. She would rather stay in a small shack rather than under the surveillance of that woman, for she knew that Yu Miaomiao would definitely try to push her into a corner.
She narrowed her eyes and pulled Lei Qian back when she saw that the man was unwilling.
When she touched his forearm, Lei Qian turned stiff. He didn't dare to make a move, as he was worried he would knock into Bai Meiyue and end up hurting her, which was why he lowered his head and looked at her with a smile. He agreed with what she said to him, "You are right. I need to discuss some matters with the team."
When Dacheng saw that Lei Qian was treating Bai Meiyue so carefully as if he were carrying and holding a porcelain doll, he turned even more confused. Was this man affected by the shock to the point of losing his mind? Why was he taking care of the woman who had cheated on him and was carrying the child of another man?
Dacheng refused to believe that Bai Meiyue was carrying Lei Qian's child, as he thought such a coincidence couldn't happen. How could Bai Meiyue meet and carry the child of Lei Qian? If she was, then why would she try to push him away from her? Wouldn't she try to cling to him?
However, no matter how many questions he had, he knew that he couldn't ask them tonight.
Dacheng knew that they were in a pitiful and weak condition, with so many ability users looking at them as if they were their enemies. Thus, he convinced Master Li to leave with him and left Lu Yin behind, who didn't even look at her brother and chased after the two.
Lu Yu watched her leave and pursed his lips in anger. He wondered if Lu Yin changed with the change in the world or if she was like this from the start.
On the other side, Bai Meiyue turned and looked at Bai Xue, who was bleeding profusely and glanced at Chu Xia, who was holding her tight while eyeing Bai Meiyue warily. If not for the fact that Bai Feng was standing behind them, Bai Meiyue would have tried to kill these two women.
Though Bai Meiyue didn't like Bai Feng, she was not going to dirty her hands by spilling the blood of an innocent man. She was going to wait for Bai Feng to die at the hands of Bai Xue, which she was sure would not take long. And when that woman would give him one last push to his grave, Bai Meiyue would be there to ask him if he regretted trusting and protecting this family with his life.
She turned on her feet and, under the cover of her brothers and Lei Qian, walked past Bai Feng.
Mother Bai, on the other hand, looked at Bai Feng, who was convincing Chu Xia to go back with hi,m and frowned. Why did this man look so much like Bai Zhan?
