The nun also noticed the subtle relationship between the two in the back row and suddenly said, "Miaoyu was very lively and cheerful before she was ten years old, but she became taciturn after she nearly drowned at the age of ten."
"Sometimes I even get shy and socially awkward when I meet strangers. I only behave normally when I'm at the Taoist temple."
His voice was full of sighs.
Miaoyu is very talented, but it's a pity that she is easily shy and socially awkward. How can I feel at ease letting her serve as the abbess of Miaorong Temple?
The Taoist nun originally wanted to take Miaoyu down the mountain to travel, mostly to help her overcome her social anxiety, but so far there has been little success.
Upon hearing this, Li Dao glanced at Miaoyu, who was still looking out the car window, sighed inwardly, and said, "Uncle-Master, don't worry, your nephew will take good care of your junior sister."
"I have complete confidence in my nephew," the nun nodded.
There was no further conversation.
Soon, the three arrived at the high-speed rail station.
Because they bought tickets for the morning, the three of them were able to board the high-speed train in no time.
Longhu Mountain is located in Yingtan City, Jiangxi Province, situated on the western wing of the eastern Jiangxi hills, where the northwestern branch of the Wuyi Mountains transitions to the Poyang Lake Plain. It is the ancestral home of Taoism.
Since ancient times, this sect has been founded by the first Zhang Tianshi and is also an indigenous religion of China.
Although Taoism is now relatively hidden and not as popular as Buddhism, it is by no means weak. The two are evenly matched, as they are both ancient religions with a history of thousands of years.
The journey from Juxia City to Yingtan City in Jiangxi Province crosses two provinces and takes a full day to complete.
The Taoist nun and Miaoyu sat close together, with Li Dao behind them. Next to them was a silver-haired woman with a gentle demeanor, holding a mobile phone and playing a TV series.
Wait... a silver-haired woman?
Li Dao glanced at He Xi beside him, his expression twitching slightly, but he didn't dare to speak, remaining silent throughout the entire time.
I was all prepared to flee to Longhu Mountain to avoid you, but we ran into each other here. What a coincidence!
This time I'm really going to die! I wonder if I'll have to undergo an autopsy?
If that's really the case, I can no longer hide it; I'll have to fight to the death.
Although risking one's life is also a dead end, not risking one's life is certain!
Li Dao's palms were sweating, his heart was pounding like a drum, each beat felt like a heavy blow to his heart, and his skin was taut like dynamite, ready to explode at any moment.
I was extremely nervous.
It's impossible not to be nervous, after all, Angel Yan, a third-generation super soldier, could easily defeat him, let alone He Xi, a fourth-generation divine body, or even possibly a pseudo-fifth-generation divine body.
"You seem very nervous?" At this moment, a soft female voice sounded in Li Dao's ear.
The voice was calm, yet it gripped Li Dao's heartstrings. He replied in a calm voice, "You flatter me, layman. This is my first time taking the high-speed rail, so it's normal to be a little nervous."
How could I not be nervous? I went to Longhu Mountain for further studies this time because I was trying to avoid you, but you ended up coming to my side.
"Oh? Is that so? But since you got on the high-speed train, you've glanced at me seventy-two times out of the corner of your eye. Is it because I'm too beautiful that you feel ashamed and inferior, little Taoist priest?" He Xi said with a smile.
Li Dao glanced at the Daoist nun and Miaoyu in the front row; the two seemed not to have heard their conversation.
"No need to look, they can't hear our conversation," He Xi continued.
"Alas! I miscalculated," Li Dao thought to himself, but he didn't answer and chose to remain silent.
If He Xi really wanted to harm him, then he wouldn't just sit and wait to die.
Even if it means death and the annihilation of one's soul!
"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore." He Xi seemed to see that the atmosphere had become extremely tense, so she smiled and didn't press him any further, continuing to watch her TV series.
I have to say, Earth's TV dramas are pretty good, but unfortunately you can't watch them with your brain on, or you'll easily lower your IQ.
Upon hearing this, Li Dao looked at He Xi.
Good heavens, you were all ready to risk your life, and this is what you tell me?
So, is he really worthy of being called "Mischievous Xi"?
You—you've really earned your death.
Oh, so the opponent has a fourth-generation divine body and can destroy stars at will?
That's fine.
“An autopsy won’t reveal your value, so I plan to observe you over the long term,” He Xi said softly, sensing Li Dao’s questioning gaze.
The implication is clear: you are more valuable alive than dead, so there is no need for dissection and research, but you should be monitored indefinitely.
Of course, He Xi would not restrict Li Daoren's personal freedom. As long as he is on Earth, it doesn't matter where he goes, unless he leaves Earth.
But can Li Dao do it now?
That's obviously impossible, so He Xi isn't worried about Li Dao running away.
After understanding this meaning, Li Dao's eyes revealed helplessness, but also a hint of joy. He then closed his eyes, concentrated, and continued to cultivate the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound.
If He Xi wants to keep an eye on him for a long time, wouldn't that be the same as him having another long-term angel investor?
If it's research, then research funding is needed, right? So I can use resources to cultivate again.
Angel, MVP!
Me, the lazy winner!
Chapter 41 Arrival
The Grand Canyon.
After completing their trials, the Super Soldier Corps followed Lena directly to the South China Sea Giant Gorge in the "Flying Eagle" plane, accompanied by Sun Wukong, who had also tested the Super Soldier Corps.
The Giant Gorge is equipped with the world's most advanced equipment, which can not only shield its own signal and location, but also prevent the Super Soldier Corps from being precisely targeted by the enemy.
The Super Soldier Corps is a strategic reserve force of China, and the main force for future decapitation strikes against the enemy. Losing any one of them would be a huge and serious loss.
Therefore, China pays special attention to the Super Soldier Corps.
"Attention, approaching the airspace above the Great Gorge." The aircraft issued a warning, then opened the cabin door, and a gust of wind rushed in.
"Alright, enough chit-chat, let's begin the descent. This is part of your training." Lena stood up and looked at the Super Soldier Squad and Sun Wukong.
The two knew each other beforehand, so it wasn't like the original story.
The entire squadron of soldiers stood up and lined up to jump from the plane.
When it was Sun Wukong's turn, Lena grabbed his hand, gave a mischievous laugh, and jumped down.
Although I'm usually oblivious, you dared to grab me by the back of my collar last time, so I'll make you lose face this time. I'm not going to let you get away now that I finally have a chance.
So, to Sun Wukong's astonishment, he was pulled along to jump off the plane.
Hey, women in the blazing sun are pretty vengeful!
As the members of the Super Soldier Company landed in style, they were greeted with cheers from the deck soldiers.
Of course, jumping off a plane also carries risks. For example, Zhao Xin, that unlucky guy, jumped straight into the sea.
"Look, it's the Super Soldier Company."
"I heard that the team was built by the country at great expense, and each member is far more capable than an ordinary person."
"Nonsense, otherwise would the country spend money to support useless people? They are a hate group that rivals the United States."
"..."
Discussions arose from the soldiers on both sides. The Super Soldier Company stood tall and proud, and they could hear the soldiers' discussion, so they felt comfortable.
After training for so long, I finally got a word of affirmation. It was worth it!
"Hello everyone, Chief Dukao has something come up and can't receive you all, so he sent me to make the arrangements. Please follow me," a naval captain said with a smile.
“Okay, let’s go.” Lena nodded.
Soon, the officer led the Super Soldier Company to the laboratory, where researchers in white coats were coming and going, and the screens were full of data. All kinds of research materials could be seen here.
This is the core area of the Giant Gorge, and also the research base for producing Black Armor.
The three friends from Debon looked around and found that the research institute was huge.
"Please wait a moment, the commander is here," the officer said.
Lena nodded, saying it didn't matter if they waited.
Suddenly, Ge Xiaolun spotted a container in front of him containing a black armor suit that looked like Monkey King's. He excitedly said to Sun Wukong, "Monkey King, your black armor suit is so cool!"
Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and said, "You're making a fuss over nothing. This was designed by Lao Du before. My current outfit is outdated, so he specially customized it for me."
Swish!
"Haha! You've finally arrived, Super Soldier Company!" The metal door on the side opened, and a hearty and powerful voice rang out.
Then, Dukao, Lianfeng, and others came in one after another.
"Old Du, it's been a long time," Sun Wukong chuckled.
Dukao also laughed and said, "Long time no see, Wukong. I didn't expect that hundreds of years have passed since we last parted. Now that the Taotie have invaded Earth, I have no choice but to call you back."
"What are you saying? Earth is in trouble, how can I sit idly by?" Sun Wukong shook his head.
The world that one's master has enlightened can not tolerate something that is neither human nor ghost occupying it.
“Very good, Wukong. I can rest assured that the Super Soldier Corps is in your hands with Lena. You can put on your exclusive black armor now,” Dukao said.
The soldiers weren't surprised to see the two chatting so skillfully.
Since Sun Wukong was testing them, the Super God Academy must know each other, so it's not surprising that the two are familiar with each other.
Sun Wukong walked to the black armor container, and under the control of the researchers, the black armor version of the Great Sage outfit gradually covered his body.
During this time, Dukao looked at the Super Soldier Squad and said, "Lena, from now on, the Super Soldier Squad's daily meals, accommodations, and training will all take place on the Giant Gorge to prevent the enemy from carrying out a decapitation strike against you."
……
Yingtan City, Jiangxi Province.
High Speed Rail Station.
After a day-long high-speed train journey, Li Dao and his three companions finally arrived at their destination.
As for why there are four people, it's because He Xi forcibly joined in halfway through, turning three into four.
