Chapter 55: Enlightenment
“I think green plants are just like my friends!”
“Friends?” Shi An’an looked at Shi Lele.
“Yeah, friends, or maybe even my children!” Shi Lele nodded vigorously. “Look, I’ve been cultivating it since it was just a seed. It’s so hard to raise it big. Every day I have to stay by its side, watch it closely. When it gets sick, I have to know what illness it has, then use what medicine to save it, and be extra careful with the medicine…”
Shi Lele vented to Shi An’an. Raising a green plant was really too mentally exhausting and laborious!
“So, keeping it alive is so difficult. I’ve poured so much effort into it. Watching it grow day by day makes me happy in my heart because my efforts have paid off!”
“I raise it, and its reward to me is not only making me happy but also making everyone who sees it happy!” Shi Lele nodded heavily.
“Is that so?” Shi An’an murmured in a daze.
“Not only makes me happy but also makes people who see it happy…” Shi An’an repeated this sentence and had enlightenment.
Suddenly, Shi An’an, who had always been at the late Alchemy Stage, had her spiritual power rapidly circulating in her body.
“Hm?” Shi Lele sensed a strong energy rapidly overflowing from An’an’s body. She wanted to reach out and call An’an, but it seemed that energy was stopping her.
“What to do? What to do?” Shi Lele panicked, not knowing what was happening to An’an now. It couldn’t be mental power collapse!
“Awoo!” Tudou stood up, sensing the dense energy on Shi An’an, then roared at Shi Lele.
“Tudou, what to do? What’s wrong with An’an?” Shi Lele panicked and didn’t know what to do.
Tudou looked at Shi Lele angrily, quickly bit her pant leg, and dragged her backward.
Shi Lele, who was panicking, was really dragged backward by the little guy.
Then, the little guy walked back to Shi An’an’s side, sat down, and glared vigilantly at the surroundings, not letting anyone disturb Shi An’an.
“Xin Xin, come quick. An’an… I don’t know what’s wrong with her…” Shi Lele panicked and contacted Shi Anxin.
Shi Anxin received Shi Lele’s communication and, hearing that her younger sister was in trouble, immediately ran over here.
Lin Jinmo had just finished getting water and came back with two cups of water. Seeing Shi Anxin’s position empty, he looked up and saw Xin’s panicked back, then hurried to chase after her.
“What’s up with these two?” The Mecha Department classmates saw the two running out in a panic and asked doubtfully, but no one knew what had happened.
“I’ll go check it out.” Some students who liked to watch the excitement quickly chased after them.
Soon, other people saw students quickly running in one direction one after another, and they also rushed to follow.
“What are these stinky brats doing again!” Lei Cheng watched the students on the surveillance all running in one direction, his heart skipping a beat. It better not be another mess.
“Huh, why is the surveillance here broken?” Someone noticed that one surveillance camera was broken.
“No, I have to go see what’s happening.” At this moment, He Rui and Lin Xi weren’t here; they were handling Ximi’s matter. Lei Cheng stood up and quickly ran out.
Xu Li and the others were not far from Shi An’an and were the first to notice her abnormality. They immediately pulled Shi Lele aside.
“Tudou, come out, quick!”
Xu Li called Tudou, but Tudou ignored him and stayed by Shi An’an’s side, staring sharply at Xu Li with his eyes, not letting him get close.
“Tch, knows how to protect its master, not bad.” Xu Li stopped calling the little guy out and took out a small protective shield, covering this area.
In the previous month following Shi An’an, she was now motionless. Although the energy on her body was surging, it seemed to have no harm to her. They had seen a similar situation on her in the previous month.
Shi An’an had told them before that this was due to her ability promotion.
Therefore, to prevent others from disturbing Shi An’an, Xu Li and the others activated the protective shield and stood around to protect Shi An’an.
“Lele, where’s An’an?” Shi Anxin ran over and, seeing Shi Lele, scanned the surroundings but didn’t see An’an’s figure.
Shi Lele saw Shi Anxin and grabbed her, pointing behind Xu Li and the others. “Over there.”
Shi Anxin glanced over but didn’t see An’an’s figure. She knew Xu Li and the others had used a protective shield.
“What’s wrong with An’an?” Seeing Xu Li and the others there too, Shi Anxin felt a bit relieved.
“I don’t know. We were chatting, and then… An’an suddenly stopped moving and wouldn’t speak. A huge surge of energy appeared on her…” Shi Lele worriedly looked toward Shi An’an’s direction.
“Little Tudou is in there too…”
After hearing this, Shi Anxin frowned tightly because she knew An’an cultivated spiritual power, which was different from their usual training methods to improve themselves, so she wasn’t sure what was going on with An’an now.
“Let’s wait first.” There was no other way but to wait.
“Xin Xin, what happened? Why were you running so fast?” Lin Jinmo chased over.
“Nothing.” Shi Anxin looked up and saw a large group of classmates following behind Jinmo. After being puzzled for two seconds, she shook her head and said nothing.
“What’s going on? What’s going on?” The classmates behind looked around but found no excitement to watch.
“Don’t know, but there are some soldiers here, not sure what they’re doing.”
“Huh? They’re standing there without moving. What are they doing?”
Some students craned their necks to look at Xu Li and the others, some looked at Shi Anxin and the girls, finding no excitement at all.
“Tch, nothing here, let’s go back. I was in the middle of a game, don’t know if I died…”
“Sigh, what a letdown. You guys ran, I thought there was something good, but nothing. I’m going back to training…”
…In an instant, all the students dispersed.
When Lei Cheng arrived, except for Xu Li and Shi Anxin and the others, the other students had all scattered.
“What’s the situation?” Lei Cheng asked Xu Li.
Xu Li shook his head. “Nothing.”
“Nothing and you’re standing here? What for?” Lei Cheng looked at them suspiciously, then at behind them. So obvious, did they think he was a fool!
“Don’t ask.” Xu Li said expressionlessly.
“Tch, whatever, just don’t cause me any trouble!” Lei Cheng looked around, saw nothing else, and went back, but he still reported the situation here to He Rui and Lin Xi.
“Jinmo!” At this time, Sheng Rong ran over.
“I just heard you guys were here. What happened? Where’s An’an?” Sheng Rong saw Shi Lele and Shi Anxin occasionally looking behind the group of soldiers and understood in his heart.
“What’s wrong with An’an?” Sheng Rong bumped Lin Jinmo’s arm.
Lin Jinmo looked at Xin Xin and shook his head. “Don’t know.”
“Tch!” Sheng Rong gave him a somewhat disdainful look.
