Chapter 45: He Doesn’t Have the Ability to Protect You
The next day.
Guide Soothing Room.
Chi Wan, who had practiced energy manipulation for an hour, looked through the window at Hei Mi standing straight outside.
She had come to work an hour early today specifically to practice energy manipulation. As soon as she arrived outside the soothing room, she saw Hei Mi standing there stiffly.
Like a black statue.
“Guide Chi Wan, the Commander said for me to wait here until the team departs. If you change your mind and want to join us during this period, I will take you there anytime!”
His words were sonorous and articulate.
She sighed silently.
Thinking of last night at the stair corner, she hadn’t really manipulated her Mental Power much before taking advantage of his momentary daze to run away.
Regarding his “all loot belongs to you,” it would be a lie to say she wasn’t tempted.
But exploration missions always took many days, and she instinctively resisted being alone with any male lead.
The screen displayed the information of the first Sentinel.
But seeing that name, Chi Wan’s eyes widened.
“Sixteen.
Non-Alliance Registered Sentinel.
S-rank Sentinel.
Mental Entity: Sloth.
Ability: Stasis.
Irritability Value: 45%.”
Such a low irritability value… did he also need soothing?
Without thinking much, Chi Wan opened the foreign Sentinel information record.
The smart sensor mechanical door slid open to both sides, and a friendly-faced Sixteen peeked in with a smile:
“Guide Chi Wan, our Young Master wants to observe the soothing ability of the rumored SSS-rank Guide. May I ask if that’s okay?”
Hearing this, Chi Wan frowned.
Chi Che?
She instantly realized that this guy was also a Sentinel, just pretending to be useless.
“Sure.”
Probably here to leech some Mental Power soothing, she understood.
Hei Mi outside the door was dumbfounded seeing this operation. There are observation seats?!
Behind Sixteen, Chi Che in a long robe walked in slowly. The loose robe made his already tall body appear tall and thin. His pace seemed leisurely, but every step was extremely graceful, exuding an extraordinary temperament.
Thinking that such a person was a male supporting character destined for a tragic end, Chi Wan shook her head slightly.
Although the movement was extremely small, it still attracted the attention of the two people beside her.
Sixteen saw Chi Wan shaking her head at the monitoring instrument, like a doctor’s attitude toward a terminally ill patient, and his heart tightened:
“Guide Chi Wan, is my Mental Power… hopeless?”
“No, no, just thought of something else. Let’s begin.”
Chi Wan said, sitting upright to start the detection.
However, as soon as the detector was turned on, the blue light uncontrollably deviated toward Chi Che’s direction.
The next second, a red alert dangerous value appeared on the screen—
Irritability Value: 90%.
Sixteen’s face changed.
It’s over, will our Second Prince be exposed?
Chi Che’s expression didn’t change; he just lowered his eyes slightly.
Chi Wan knew perfectly well and smiled to play along with them:
“Ah, it seems your irritability value measurement outside wasn’t accurate. It’s already as high as 90%. Let’s begin immediately.”
Sixteen nodded hurriedly: “Sorry for the trouble, Guide Chi Wan!”
Full of gratitude: “We made a mistake in our decision. We didn’t know the pollution concentration on Planet A-73 was so high. The hired Guides aren’t enough. Fortunately, we grabbed a number.”
His ability—he grabbed one accurately every time.
Chi Wan nodded, her voice gentle and soft:
“You’re welcome. You saved me, so you count as my benefactors. It’s just soothing. If you need it, you can bypass the Alliance and come directly to me.”
Sixteen was overjoyed hearing this.
Chi Che, standing aside, also had brighter eyes upon hearing this. His black eyes looked at the earnest Chi Wan.
From his angle, he could just see her big eyes blinking under her hair. Her eyelashes fluttered, and under the warm, healing light, those eyes were as beautiful as if they were filled with stars.
More beautiful than any creature he had ever seen.
Sixteen was very talkative:
“I wonder, Guide Chi Wan’s Mental Entity is?”
“A kitten. It’s a kitten.”
Her smile was sweet. As she spoke, a kitten glowing with silver light leaped out.
Like carrying a body of fragmented silver light, it trailed a galaxy in the air.
Then Sixteen felt powerful Mental Power enveloping him.
Naturally, Chi Che felt it too.
To take care of him, Chi Wan specially released a lot of Mental Power externally.
“Wow, clearly such a cute kitten, yet the Mental Power soothing is shockingly powerful. Guide Chi Wan, you are truly amazing.”
Amidst Sixteen’s praise, Chi Che just lowered his eyes faintly.
Very strong. Stronger than the SSS-rank Guides in their galaxy.
Perhaps it was the sloth’s natural dullness, or perhaps the irritability value was too low, but Sixteen’s mouth kept moving:
“Guide Chi Wan, we are going to follow the Sentinel corps on an exploration mission later. Aren’t you going?
We speculate there will be plenty of good things in this exploration zone. We spent 100 million star coins specifically to buy the right to accompany them.”
“Exploration mission?”
“Yes, it is said that C3 Base is leading the team this time. Their Commander spent a lot of contribution points to secure this exploration zone.
If you go, we can help you fight for some supplies useful to you.”
Chi Wan pondered for a moment.
If she followed them, it wasn’t impossible. She nodded:
“Thank you. If there are supplies I can use, I will pay to buy them.”
…
In the Alliance Square, Qi Ye, organizing equipment, glanced frequently at the high-rise buildings behind him.
“Commander, preparations complete. We can set off.”
Amidst the Sentinel’s report, he remained silent, his gaze darkening a bit, looking behind one last time.
“Here she comes, here she comes! Guide Chi Wan is here!”
Qi Ye’s heart relaxed, but then he heard Hei Mi’s voice continue on the optical computer:
“But she didn’t come with me. Commander, that merchant named Chi said something to Guide Chi Wan, and they came downstairs together, talking and laughing!”
Qi Ye’s brows tightened slightly. He saw Chi Wan in the crowd, her silver hair extremely dazzling, accompanied by a tall man and an honest-looking middle-aged man.
That tall man was extremely close to her. Although his face was unfamiliar, his temperament was outstanding and his appearance handsome.
Standing together, the two looked harmoniously piercing to the eye.
Qi Ye withdrew his hand resting on the car door handle, his eyes turning cold and sharp, and walked straight toward Chi Wan.
“You came?”
The moment he approached her, his voice softened.
Chi Wan just nodded faintly and greeted him.
Distant like a stranger.
Qi Ye’s extended hand grasp nothing. As he brushed past Chi Che, neither looked at the other.
Chi Wan followed Chi Che toward their group’s light armored vehicle.
But before her foot could step onto the pedal, the car door was controlled by someone.
She turned around. Qi Ye was holding the car door, looking at her with a deep and intense gaze:
“Take my car.”
Chi Wan was just about to refuse.
Then she saw his gaze sweep toward Chi Che inside the car, his tone suddenly dropping to freezing point:
“He doesn’t have the ability to protect you.”
