illicit relationship



Wu Lei touched Qiao Luli's right shoulder before finally speaking, "Luli, how about you play with Renqing in the garden now? Grandpa wants to talk about it with Zemin first."

He could not freely discuss it with the others if she was with them. That was why he asked her to go to the garden.

"Why do I have to go to the garden? Can't I hear it?" Qiao Luli wanted to join the conversation because it was related to her.

Xing Hanxian wanted to help Wu Lei, so he gave his granddaughter a sign to take Qiao Luli to the garden.

Even though her grandpa only looked at her without saying a single word, Xing Renqing knew what he had in mind.

For this reason, she rose from her chair and grabbed Qiao Luli's right hand. "Luli, let's go to the garden now. I want to play with you in the garden."

"…Alright." Qiao Luli did not fight back when Xing Renqing dragged her to the garden.

"Sigh!" Wu Lei sighed after sitting on the chair.

"Lei, I think it's better to grant her wish." Xing Hanxian spoke, "Otherwise, she will be angry at you later."

"I think so too, village head." Siyi added. "After all, we know how badly she wants to join the village guard squad. I'm sure she will hate you if you refuse her wish because it's related to her dream."

"But I don't want to put her in a dangerous situation." Wu Lei responded, "You guys know what she has been through until now, right?"

Qiao Luli lost her parents when she was little. Not only that, but an evil group also kidnapped her and subjected her to experiments.

She had gone through so much suffering until now. That was why he only wanted her to be a normal kid because he did not want something bad to happen to her again.

He only wanted her to be happy!

That was his only wish.

However, he knew that his wish was difficult to achieve because Qiao Luli's dream was to join the village guard squad.

'Why does it have to be that?'

Everything would be easier if her dream was not to join the village guard squad.

Xing Hanxian and the others could not say anything because they knew what she had gone through until now.

At this moment, Xing Juzong suddenly had a good idea. "Elder Lei, how about this?"

He began telling Wu Lei about his idea. His idea was to give Qiao Luli an empty title.

What he meant by empty title was that they would let her join the village guard squad, but they would never give her a dangerous mission.

Her tasks were only to guard the gate or those that were only done within the village. A powerful martial artist also had to always be by her side when she was doing her duty.

With this, the chances of something bad happening to her were slim. At most, she would only be injured in the line of duty; it would not cause her to die.

"That's a good idea!" Xing Hanxian and the others responded in unison.

Wu Lei touched his chin and began to consider Xing Juzong's idea.

'That's actually a good idea!'

He admitted that Xing Juzong's idea was amazing.

After thinking for several seconds, Wu Lei uttered, "Alright. Let's do that."

Xing Juzong smiled and nodded his head.

Wu Lei tapped Tan Zemin's right shoulder before finally speaking, "Zemin, take care of my granddaughter. Don't let anything bad happen to her."

"You don't need to worry, village head." Tan Zemin responded. "I will protect her with my life."

Xing Renqing and Qiao Luli were currently sitting on the swings. They were not alone in the garden because many children were playing in the park.

"What are they discussing right now? Will grandpa keep his promise?" Qiao Luli wanted to know if her grandpa would keep his word or not. 

"He is your grandpa, so I'm sure he will keep his promise. You can ignore him and leave the house if he doesn't keep his word." Xing Renqing gave a piece of bad advice. 

She then continued, "I always did it whenever my grandpa did not grant my wish. And it always works. My grandpa always granted my wish whenever I did that."

"Really?" Qiao Luli inquired.

"Yes." Qing Renqing nodded her head. "Your grandpa's love for you is as deep as my grandpa's love for me, so I'm sure it will work out."

"Alright. I will ignore him and leave home if he doesn't keep his word." Qiao Luli was persuaded by Xing Renqing's words.

"Good!" Xing Renqing gave a thumbs up. "By the way, why do you want to join the village guard squad? Isn't it dangerous?"

"Everyone in this village is my family, so I want to protect them from bad people." Qiao Luli told Xing Renqing the reason why she wanted to join the village guard squad.

"I see." Xing Renqing was amazed by her words.

"That is why I have to join the village guard squad no matter what." Qiao Luli said with determined eyes. 

Xing Renqing shifted her gaze from Qiao Luli to her right palm.

'Maybe I should practice martial arts harder from today onwards.'

Sanlow Village, Meeting House.

There was a meeting house in Sanlow village. The house was huge and located in the middle of the village.

This house was important and always guarded by the village guard squad because this was the place where they discussed something crucial.

There was nothing but thirty chairs in the meeting house because that place was not a place for relaxation.

Those thirty chairs were arranged in a rectangular shape, and every chair in the room made a political statement about their role in the meeting and their importance to the village.

"How is it?" Fu Lim was curious about their attack on Solaris village.

"It's good, village head." Ming responded, "They ganged up on these seven experimental beasts with thirty people and among these thirty people, half of them were seriously injured."

"Using these experimental beasts to attack them are good decision, village head." Luoyang added. "We didn't need to intervene but we could still seriously injure fifteen people. If Wu Lei and the others had not appeared, I'm sure half of them would have been dead."

Previously, they decided to retreat when Wu Lei and the others appeared because their purpose in coming to Solaris village was to test these experimental beasts.

Fu Lim was delighted after hearing their words. "Yao Huan, how many experimental beasts do you have now?"

"Fifteen." Yao Huan lied to Fu Lim.

"Only fifteen?" Fu Lim was disappointed.

"Village head, we can't infuse the serum into just any animal. We need to train them first so that we can control them better later. Producing these experimental beasts are not easy because we need time, patience and money." Yao Huan gave an honest answer.

He then continued, "And the serum is only eighty percent complete, so we don't do experiments on many animals because it's a waste of money."

Of course, Fu Lim knew that doing experiments was difficult. 

'Fifteen experimental beasts is also good as it is equal to fifteen martial artists at the low-level grandmaster stage.'

Fu Lim returned his attention to Ming and the others. "Now let's discuss our plan to destroy Solaris village."
