Two men, protected by psychic soldiers, entered the villa. They were Ye Jianguo, the Lord of the Yaoyang Base, and his son Ye Haijun. Ye Jiahui had been sent back in the afternoon and had only regained consciousness in the evening.
As a third-rank psychic, Ye Jiahui had hardly suffered any injuries. There were only a few small marks on her body caused by vines, which were insignificant.
Whether it was before or after the apocalypse, she was the proud daughter of heaven, and only men were there to please her. In her eyes, weak women were nothing more than insignificant playthings.
She had been tricked by Bai Qingqing, how could she possibly be willing to accept such a humiliation? It was not in her nature to let it go without seeking revenge.
Bai Qingqing, that green-tea scented bitch, relied on the support of men to dare to confront her. Ha, she wanted that woman to see that there was nothing she desired that she couldn’t get from men.
Cheng Yan always obeyed her father’s words, let alone Cheng Yan’s younger brother. Did these men dare to go against the Lord?
Ye Jiahui lay on the bed and briefly explained the situation in the afternoon. She had only gone to the study to fetch some documents for Cheng Yan when she heard that Cheng Rui had brought back a woman. After a few words were exchanged, she was humiliated by the other party.
She couldn’t bear it any longer and took action, but who would have thought that the woman would use her psychic power to attack her? Cheng Rui sided with that woman and engaged in a fierce fight with her, almost taking her life.
She had spoken the truth, and both her father and brother were furious. The Yaoyang Base was their territory, and someone dared to lay a hand on his daughter (sister) within the base, even attempting to take her life.
The Ye family would definitely seek justice.
The father and son entered the villa and saw several unfamiliar faces. Their eyes showed a hint of surprise.
Currently, the base was divided into two factions. The psychic abilities led by Cheng Yan were not numerous and were only second in command under the Ye family. How come there were several unfamiliar psychics gathered in his villa?
Ye Jianguo secretly felt displeased and put on a hypocritical smile as he greeted, “Cheng Yan, are these your guests? Why didn’t you inform me when powerful individuals arrived at the base?”
To strengthen the base’s power, it was necessary to recruit talented individuals. High-ranking psychics who entered the Yaoyang Base would be recruited by the Lord.
Ye Jianguo was secretly unhappy, thinking that Cheng Yan had not reported to him about any potential disloyalty.
Cheng Yan shook hands with Ye Jianguo and said, “They arrived at the base this afternoon. They are friends of my younger brother.”
As the two high-ranking members of the base exchanged greetings, Ye Haijun’s gaze lingered on the two girls in the living room, his eyes filled with greed.
The two new women in the base had exceptional looks. If he could take them back, it would be quite enjoyable for him.
Bai Tiantian felt the man’s gaze and instinctively moved closer to Shen Mingxuan, her little face turning pale out of fear.
Shen Mingxuan gave a cold glance, his sharp gaze piercing.
Ye Haijun smiled and shifted his gaze to Bai Qingqing, who was still quietly eating. His lewd gaze almost felt like a knife slashing through her clothes.
The girl was wearing a dress, with her swan-like neck and slender arms wrapped in white gauze. There were some red marks on her fair and delicate face, giving her a sickly, melancholic beauty that seemed to have been ravaged.
This girl, who had been beaten by Ye Jiahui in the afternoon, possessed beauty comparable to that of a star. Her charming and moving temperament was the type that men desired, making them restless.
Bai Qingqing naturally felt that scorching gaze. The man’s lecherous and greedy eyes on her made her feel disgusted and uncomfortable.
Wherever she went, she would almost always attract such looks. If it weren’t for the presence of a powerful man by her side, she would have been taken away long ago. She had long become accustomed to it.
Bai Qingqing continued to eat and praised the chef’s skills.
Ye Jianguo and Cheng Yan exchanged a few words before the conversation turned to Bai Qingqing. Looking at the beautiful girl, Ye Jianguo spoke, “So, this is Miss Bai.”
Bai Qingqing put down her chopsticks and smiled, “Hello.”
Ye Jianguo looked her up and down with an unreadable expression on his square face and said, “Miss Bai is very beautiful, quite appealing to men.”
The words seemed like a compliment but were actually demeaning. She was only valued for her attractiveness to men, making her a calamity.
Yaoyang Base belonged to someone else’s territory, and the men from the team remained vigilant, ready for combat, their gaze coldly fixed on the father and son.
Ye Jianguo looked at Cheng Yan, his face dark and displeased. “No wonder Cheng Rui injured the little girl on Qingqing’s behalf. This matter needs an explanation. How do you think we should resolve it?”
Xiao Yang sneered, “And what about your daughter injuring Qingqing and attempting to kill her? How should that be resolved?”
His words brought the atmosphere to an icy point, and tension filled the air. Both sides had unfriendly expressions on their faces.
“She’s sitting fine.” Ye Jianguo, protective of his son, was eager to get an explanation and said coldly, “Even if the girl was at fault initially, she’s the one who ended up seriously injured.”
He stared sharply at Cheng Rui, whose face had hardened. “She said that you planned to kill her.”
The psychics in the living room were on high alert, soldiers pointing their guns at everyone with black muzzles. If they didn’t receive a satisfactory response, a war would break out.
Cheng Yan suppressed his anger and said in a low voice, “Leader, let’s sit down and talk.”
“And if there’s a next time,” Cheng Rui looked at the father and son coldly, his voice icy and threatening, “I won’t show any mercy.”
He would not hesitate to kill anyone who attempted to harm Qingqing.
Bai Qingqing’s eyes flickered as she looked at Cheng Rui, whose expression had turned cold. The others in the room raised their eyebrows as well.
Ye Jianguo and Ye Haijun were furious. They had come here tonight to make a scene, but they didn’t expect to be treated so disrespectfully. They had thought an apology would suffice, but they hadn’t expected Cheng Rui to issue a threat.
“Cheng Yan, did you hear that?” Ye Jianguo’s face was full of anger.
Cheng Yan felt secretly pleased but put on an angry face and rebuked, “Cheng Rui, stop talking.”
Cheng Rui coldly stared at them and said, “I’ll say it once, and you better remember.”
The father and son’s faces were trampled on the ground and rubbed, and they couldn’t bear it any longer, shouting, “Attack!”
First, they would beat them up, and then they would apologize to Jiahui. Some people needed to be taught a lesson to understand their own strength.
Cheng Yan was a fourth-rank psychic, and Cheng Rui had just advanced to the fourth rank. The other psychics in the living room were probably not much higher in rank. Even if they joined the fight, with their larger numbers, they had no fear of being unable to defeat them.
Bai Tiantian was pulled behind Shen Mingxuan, and the table in the living room was overturned, the delicious dishes scattered across the floor due to the psychic attacks.
Bai Qingqing sat on the chair, holding her chopsticks in her hand, looking a bit displeased. “What’s the meaning of this? I haven’t eaten enough yet.”
People near the scene of the brawl were astonished by her words. Everyone was in chaos, and she was still thinking about eating. Did she have no sense of danger?
Cheng Yan stood tall and shouted angrily, “Don’t use your psychic abilities.”
It wasn’t easy to build this villa, and if they were going to fight, they should fight without destroying his house.
Bai Qingqing seemed oblivious to the dangerous debris flying around and remained still as if stunned, without making any effort to avoid it.
Suddenly, fragments came flying towards her eyes, but Xiao Yang and Liang Zhiyu used their psychic abilities to shield her. She sat obediently on the chair, unharmed, like a delicate porcelain doll.
“Qingqing, quickly hide,” Xiao Yang shouted in concern.
But Bai Qingqing didn’t move, her cheeks puffed up, and she looked at the scattered food on the floor with a heartbroken expression.
If her brother were here, he would have taken them all down already. If it weren’t for Cheng Rui’s background, the team would have already defeated them.
Liang Zhiyu looked at her drooping eyelashes and her stunned gaze fixed on the ground, his foxy eyes narrowed.
In the next second, the people in the midst of the brawl instantly froze.
Everyone seemed to be under a petrification spell, frozen in place, including the debris floating in the air and the psychic abilities. It was as if time had stopped.
Then, the entire space suddenly changed, and the villa returned to its state before the fight broke out, including the actions and expressions of the people, all reverting to ten minutes ago.
The team and Cheng Rui were sitting at the dining table eating, while the others stood in their designated spots in the living room.
Bai Tiantian pinched her own face, incredulously asking, “What’s going on?”
As everyone snapped out of their daze, cold sweat broke out on their backs, and they quickly looked at Liang Zhiyu, who was standing on Bai Qingqing’s left. Only he had shown any change in his movements.
Liang Zhiyu pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and said gently, “Leader Ye, your daughter wanted to kill Qingqing first. Cheng Rui only taught her a lesson. How about we let this matter go? What do you say?”
Bai Qingqing turned her head to look at Liang Zhiyu. He truly was a formidable person.
Did he just manipulate time?
Those who manipulate time, does it mean they can also control life and death?
Ye Jianguo had been focusing his attention on Cheng Rui, a fourth-rank fire-type psychic, but he hadn’t expected his companion to possess such a terrifying ability.
Both sides remained silent, locked in a stalemate.
After a moment, Ye Jianguo forced a smile and said, “That’s what this gentleman said.”
“Father,” Ye Haijun couldn’t let it go.
Ye Jianguo reprimanded him, “Shut up!” Then he smiled at everyone and said, “The Ye family will have a banquet tomorrow evening. If you have the time, come and gather with us, enjoy food, drink, and entertainment.”
Cheng Yan replied, “Leader, rest assured, we will come.”
Ye Jianguo left the villa with his son and subordinates. As soon as they stepped out of the villa, his expression darkened, his face unreadable.
Bai Qingqing curiously looked at Liang Zhiyu and asked him, “Aren’t you a wind-type psychic?”
Others also looked at this old fox. When did he hide the fact that he awakened a second type of ability?
Liang Zhiyu calmly replied, “I awakened a second ability recently.”
“Time reversal?” Bai Qingqing said enviously.
“Something like that,” Liang Zhiyu casually placed a plate of her favorite spicy and sour chicken in front of her. “Eat more if you like it.”
