A Glimpse That Seemed to Understand
Chapter 678 A Glance That Seemed to Understand
Marshal Shi raised his clenched fist and flicked a finger toward Shi Sijin.
An invisible psychic energy ball suddenly detached from his fingertip and shot straight towards Shi Sijin opposite him.
"Smack!" Shi Sijin sensed the approaching psychic power, but his reaction was a fraction too slow, and he was struck on the forehead.
"Hiss~" Shi Sijin immediately gasped, covering her forehead with one hand as she fell backward, half-lying on the back of the sofa.
And just like that, a comfortable "Ge You slouch" is complete.
The pained expression on his face vanished instantly, replaced by relaxation and comfort.
Marshal Shi didn't want to look at him anymore, so he turned his gaze to Jiang Ci over there.
At this moment, Jiang Ci also turned his gaze away from Shi Sijin and looked at Marshal Shi, saying, "Do you know how many purification ability users we have in our legion who can achieve zero pollution?"
Marshal Shi's gaze toward Jiang Ci suddenly turned sharp as a knife.
……
When Jiang Ci returned home in the evening, he saw Bai Mianmian still busy in the kitchen.
I thought she just wanted to cook dinner on a whim, but when I entered the kitchen, I was surprised to find it filled with steaming hot and fragrant ready-made dishes.
"Mianmian, did you invite people over for dinner?" Jiang Ci asked, looking somewhat puzzled.
Even so, looking at those individual food containers, he wondered: Could Mianmian be preparing to enter the wormhole alone?
"No, I just thought we'd make this since we had nothing else to do. We can just take it out and eat it whenever we get hungry while we're out in the forest," Bai Mianmian said casually as she scooped the food out of the pot.
Jiang Ci looked at the delicious-looking food, but he didn't quite believe her words, even though she had done something similar before.
"Do you want to put some into your spatial storage?" Bai Mianmian asked him calmly.
Jiang Ci glanced at her, then shook his head and said, "No, you can keep it yourself."
"Okay." Bai Mianmian nodded and walked over to put all the food into her spatial storage.
All that was left was her and Jiang Ci's dinner for tonight. She turned and instructed Xiao Zhi No. 1 robot to bring the food to the table.
Jiang Ci waited for Bai Mianmian to come to his side before walking towards the restaurant with her.
"I told Uncle Shi and Ah Jin about how you taught Shi Qing and the others to purify the pollution level to zero today," Jiang Ci said, turning his head slightly to look at Bai Mianmian.
"Hmm?" Bai Mianmian didn't expect him to bring this up, and asked thoughtfully, "Is something wrong?"
Why did this topic suddenly come up? Could it be that someone messed up because they didn't sever the energy purifier in time, and Marshal Shi happened to see it? Bai Mianmian wondered to herself.
“No problem,” Jiang Ci said immediately. “Uncle Shi wants Shi Qing to take two people on an official business trip to his legion to demonstrate to the purification ability users and teach them how to completely purify pollutants.”
In fact, Marshal Shi would prefer Bai Mianmian to teach those people, but Jiang Ci flatly refused, and his attitude was firm with no room for negotiation.
Marshal Shi had no choice but to settle for second best and send Lin Shiqing with his men.
"Oh," Bai Mianmian replied indifferently, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.
Seeing that she wasn't interested in the topic, Jiang Ci changed the subject: "By tomorrow, quite a few of the Moth Clan's crystal cores should have been extracted. Are you going to purify them with Shi Qing and the others? Or should we have them delivered to your home?"
"Deliver it to my home," Bai Mianmian replied almost without hesitation.
By purifying the crystal cores at home, she could completely let the mushrooms grow.
If she were to go out and purify those crystal cores with Lin Shiqing and the others, she would have to restrain the release of her supernatural abilities to control the number of mushrooms that grow, which would be too inefficient.
"Okay," Jiang Ci said. "Then I'll have someone send you the crystal cores tomorrow. These crystal cores aren't urgent, so you must make sure to get some rest."
Bai Mianmian smiled and nodded at him, "Okay, I understand." Bai Mianmian's decision to purify the crystal core at home was a real hardship for Marshal Shi, who had been waiting there for so long.
So when Bai Mianmian reappeared, Marshal Shi's eyes lit up the moment they met her, and his gaze, almost solid, instantly "fixed" on her.
Bai Mianmian wasn't particularly bothered by such gazes, because the people from the Second Legion looked at her like that from time to time, and she had almost gotten used to it.
To her surprise, the person she was looking at this time was Marshal Shi.
After a moment of silence, Bai Mianmian walked towards Marshal Shi.
Marshal Shi seemed to realize something at this moment, and quickly composed himself, waiting for her to approach with a calm and collected demeanor.
"Uncle Shi, is there something you need?" Bai Mianmian asked with a perfectly timed smile.
Looking at her slightly aloof smile, Marshal Shi suddenly remembered what Shi Sijin had said before.
However, he didn't show it on his face; instead, a gentle smile appeared on his face as he asked, "Nothing important. I just haven't seen you for several days. Did you get some rest before coming out today?"
Actually, he knew that Bai Mianmian had been purifying the crystal core at home these past few days; Jiang Ci had told him about it.
But in this situation, it would be more appropriate to say something polite, and it would be even better if he could get closer to Bai Mianmian.
"Yes, thank you for your trouble. I've rested well." Bai Mianmian's smile remained unchanged as she continued, "If you have nothing else, I'll take my leave now."
She came out today because she had finished processing all the crystal cores sent by the Second Legion, and since it was still early, she wanted to go out for a stroll.
As for the cleaned crystal cores, she left them at home, and Jiang Ci could collect them himself when he came back in the evening.
"Alright, you go ahead with your work," Marshal Shi said with a gentle smile.
If it weren't inconvenient for him to follow Bai Mianmian, he would have really wanted to go and see what she was up to.
Let's see if she's only this distant with him, or with everyone except Jiang Ci.
"Alright, then take your time browsing." Bai Mianmian nodded politely to Marshal Shi before turning and walking towards the gate of the garrison.
Marshal Shi watched her figure disappear into the distance before continuing to wander around the Second Army Corps' camp.
He had been wandering around like this for several days, and he had seen everything he needed to see, so he stopped again after walking a short distance and slowly shifted his gaze to the direction where Bai Mianmian had left.
The brat said that going to the forest with Bai Mianmian would reveal something really interesting. Should he shamelessly go along and take a look?
Bai Mianmian arrived at the gate of the camp shortly afterward, where several people were already waiting for her.
"sister in law."
Upon seeing her from afar, Zhang Weitao immediately called out with a bright smile.
The others immediately joined in, calling out, "Sister-in-law."
"Hello, thank you for your help today." Bai Mianmian said with a gentle smile as she approached.
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all," Zhang Weitao said repeatedly.
The others smiled and said it was no trouble at all.
Bai Mianmian smiled and nodded at them, saying, "Let's go then."
After Bai Mianmian activated her hover shoes and flew forward first, Zhang Weitao and the others activated their hover shoes and followed.
Before long, they adopted a protective stance, tacitly surrounding Bai Mianmian in the center.
Bai Mianmian didn't pay any attention to this, but after flying a short distance, she suddenly glanced in a certain direction as if she had sensed something.
