136: Chapter 136 Ignoring

It was certainly impossible for Li Qingshan not to have some thoughts of his own.

But now, listening to Ye Qingqing's explanation, he actually felt a bit like he was being petty.

After all, Ye Qingqing hadn't shown them any ill will from the very beginning.

In fact, she was mostly just using them to learn about the base.

Thinking of this, Li Qingshan felt more and more that the questions he'd asked weren't ones a decent person should ask.

Then, Li Qingshan looked up again, his gaze very firm as he looked at Ye Qingqing: "Rest assured, Sister Qingqing. I, Li Qingshan, will work for you from now on. I'll do whatever you ask, with no ulterior motives."

Hearing this, Su Miaomiao also nodded and chimed in, "Sister Qingqing, me too!"

Ye Qingqing stroked her chin. "Alright then, go rent another house. After all, there are three of you now."

"That apartment is still a bit too small."

After saying this, Ye Qingqing handed her card to Li Qingshan once more.

Li Qingshan pursed his lips but ultimately took Ye Qingqing's card.

But the moment he took the card, Li Qingshan knew.

From now on, he would have to risk his life for Ye Qingqing.

But in this day and age, where else could be better than following Ye Qingqing?

After all, Ye Qingqing had no prior connection to them; they had just met on the road.

She could have completely ignored them after returning to the base.

Yet, Ye Qingqing still helped them and even paid for Old Man Zhao's medical expenses.

Ye Qingqing crossed her arms and looked at Li Qingshan and Su Miaomiao.

She believed she hadn't misjudged them. Ye Qingqing helped them out of her own self-interest as well.

Because she needed people—people she could use.

She would definitely grow more influential within the base in the future.

Since she was now part of this Ability User Squad, and her Maternal Grandfather and Grandmother held positions in the base...

...her roots would be in this base from now on.

Furthermore, she always felt that the relationships within the base were far from as simple as they appeared on the surface.

This had actually been evident back on the Warship.

The silent war between Huo Sixian and Xu Yousheng, and then there was Zuo Yuxing...

Ye Qingqing wasn't clear on these matters yet, but she would be dragged into them sooner or later.

Therefore, Ye Qingqing needed to establish roots in the base and needed manpower.

And now, she believed she hadn't misjudged these people.

She trusted Li Qingshan and Su Miaomiao.

After that, Ye Qingqing's life in the base was both ordinary and packed.

Because Ye Qingqing was now an Ability User, she had to report to the Training Ground every day.

Moreover, she had to go out on missions with Huo Sixian.

Since Ye Qingqing's Superpower was Space Ability, her missions always involved going out to move things.

After all, with Ye Qingqing around, the labor costs for transportation were greatly reduced.

Ye Qingqing didn't have any complaints about this.

After all, just riding in a car to pick up goods was generally quite easy.

Only...

...with Huo Sixian's presence, Ye Qingqing found it a bit annoying.

Because this Huo Sixian was staring at Ye Qingqing every single moment.

He would constantly strike poses he thought were very handsome and flashy, leaving Ye Qingqing dumbfounded.

Just like today, some subordinates discovered a batch of steel not far from the base.

Before Ye Qingqing arrived, the base would have definitely sent a grand convoy of people and vehicles to move this batch of steel.

But now that they had Ye Qingqing, the base only dispatched Ye Qingqing and Huo Sixian.

Originally, it was just the two of them, but at Ye Qingqing's strong insistence, Lu Huan, Kong Ziyi, and Meng Hangfei were brought along as well.

Currently, Huo Sixian was in the driver's seat, while Ye Qingqing sat in the passenger seat.

As for those three unlucky ones, they were arranged in the back seat.

Of course, in the trunk, there was also Ah Huang...

Every spot in the off-road vehicle was clearly assigned.

Ye Qingqing looked out the window, bad-mouthing Huo Sixian in her heart.

This guy was doing it on purpose.

Even though she had made things very clear, Huo Sixian acted as if he couldn't hear, sticking to Ye Qingqing like a piece of chewing gum.

"Qingqing, the place we're going to later used to be a steel mill. I even went there when I was a kid."

When Huo Sixian said this, stars twinkled in his eyes, and they radiated light.

When he looked at Ye Qingqing, one could even see a faint glow on Huo Sixian's face.

"Mhm." Ye Qingqing let out this single sound from her nose, then closed her eyes to rest, pretending she couldn't hear Huo Sixian.

"Qingqing..." Huo Sixian looked at Ye Qingqing, wanting to say more.

But seeing her giving him the cold shoulder, he could only shut his mouth.

When they arrived at the location, Ye Qingqing's movements in collecting the resources were also very swift.

Anyone with eyes could tell that Ye Qingqing didn't want to communicate much with Huo Sixian.

Ye Qingqing's actions in putting the steel into her space were also very fast.

She left as soon as she was done; even Huo Sixian almost couldn't keep up with her pace.

Ye Qingqing was actually feeling apprehensive.

Because Huo Sixian was constantly by her side like a lingering spirit, Ye Qingqing could only use this method to avoid him.

Kong Ziyi, who was following behind Huo Sixian and Ye Qingqing, looked at Huo Sixian.

He couldn't help but sigh and shake his head. "Boss, why is he so clingy now? If it were me, I wouldn't like it either."

Lu Huan gave Kong Ziyi a look, signaling him to shut up.

Kong Ziyi didn't see Lu Huan's look and continued to mutter, "Women..."

After saying that, Kong Ziyi shook his head. "Who would like someone without masculine charm who keeps chasing them?"

Lu Huan looked at Kong Ziyi and instinctively distanced himself.

At the same time, he noticed Huo Sixian's murderous gaze.

Kong Ziyi didn't see it and was still silently complaining about Huo Sixian.

Suddenly, a sharp scream burst from Kong Ziyi's mouth: "Ah!"

Kong Ziyi felt a numbing and stimulating sensation through his body, and at the same time, his hair stood on end.

After a current of electricity surged through his entire body, Kong Ziyi let out a burp from his stomach.

He stammered, "Bo-bo-boss... You... you... you..."

Kong Ziyi's words were stuttered, but who wanted to hear him continue now?

Everyone gave a sigh of pity and then walked away.

After all, this Kong Ziyi was just a fool.

After the batch of steel was all collected, Ye Qingqing quickly got into the car.

However, after getting into the car, she fell asleep immediately, as if feigning sleep.

Huo Sixian looked at Ye Qingqing aggrievedly from the side, wanting to talk to her, but seeing her like this, he didn't know how to start.

Only Ah Huang in the trunk was unhappy.
