Chapter 589: Looks good but not practical

Lu Weiwei’s outcry made everyone turn their attention toward Fang Yuxin. Naturally, those invited to the party were well-informed individuals—they had already heard about the new Second-level Wood Element Superpower User at the Beishi Base, and many were interested. Sadly, this individual had connections with the Qu Family and the Bai Family, so no one dared to extend an olive branch to Fang Yuxin until those families had made their move.

At this moment, since Lu Weiwei had shouted, everyone was curious to see just what kind of strength this Second-level Wood Element Superpower User possessed. Even among users of the same level, abilities varied—some were powerful, while others were merely duds augmented by Crystal Cores. Fang Yuxin, looking like a delicate miss, did not seem all that formidable, which was disconcerting.

However, many also felt disdainful. Just a short while ago, Lu Weiwei and Qu Qianlin had been unashamedly arrogant and rude, and now they were asking for help because of injuries—they really had thick skins!

Before Fang Yuxin could speak, Qu Qianhe scoffed and said, "Mrs. Qu seems to have a poor memory—I just said that we have no relation with the Qu Family, so don’t falsely claim connections! How is he my Xinxin’s uncle? If you’re really worried about your son, you’d better take him home and find someone to treat his injuries. I can’t believe that the gigantic Star Mercenary Corps doesn’t have a single Wood Element Superpower User! Don’t embarrass yourself here!"

Lu Weiwei was upset. Seeing how much pain Qu Qianlin was in, how could she delay? Since Fang Yuxin was a Second-level Wood Element Superpower User, a mere flick of her fingers should save a person, so why wouldn’t she agree? Feeling wronged, Lu Weiwei’s tears began to fall again, looking quite pitiful. Those unaware of the truth might think Fang Yuxin and the others were bullying her!

Qu Qianhe really couldn’t stand Lu Weiwei’s antics and remained unmoved; others, happy to watch the drama unfold, didn’t step in to help either. Qu Xiuhong and Qu Qiancheng were so embarrassed they wished the ground would swallow them, feeling like the face of the Qu Family had been completely lost by Lu Weiwei and Qu Qianlin!

Zhao Qiankun was also watching the drama with his arms crossed. He had planned to send someone to treat Qu Qianlin’s injuries later, but just then, he heard a familiar voice say, "I’ll do it." Looking toward the voice, he furrowed his brows.

The person who stepped forward was one of his close female friends, Cheng Lin, a Level 2 Peak Wood Element Superpower User. Cheng Lin was beautiful and pure, with a gentle and kind personality, much to Zhao Qiankun’s liking. She owned a mutated rabbit as her Contracted Beast—it was a little pet rabbit, only about the size of a palm, pure white and extremely cute. Cheng Lin often held it in her arms, making Zhao think of her as Chang’e from the moon.

So, when Cheng Lin stepped forward, Zhao Qiankun felt somewhat displeased. However, his dissatisfaction wasn’t directed at Cheng Lin but at Qu Qianlin. Cheng Lin was his woman; how could she treat another man? Moreover, this man was the fool, Qu Qianlin!

His expression darkened slightly as he walked toward Cheng Lin. Han Lingxi, noticing this, shifted her gaze and slightly curved her lips, her smile carrying a profound meaning.

By now, Cheng Lin had approached Qu Qianlin. She glanced at the injuries on his body, her brow furrowing slightly, and said to a waiter, "Bring some clean water." Her voice was very sweet.

During the wait, she looked up and glanced at Fang Yuxin and the others not far away and said, "I’m not clear about the disputes among you, but since you are a Wood Element Superpower User, you should maintain the basic integrity of a doctor. This gentleman is injured, and his mother is pleading beside him—how can you, out of selfishness, refuse to help?"

Qu Qianhe couldn’t tolerate others talking about her daughter like that. Her face changed, and just as she was about to speak, Fang Yuxin stopped her. Fang Yuxin could tell that Cheng Lin was targeting her deliberately! She wasn’t a child, would she run to her mother whenever she was bullied?

She didn’t answer Cheng Lin directly, just smiled and said, "May I know how to address this miss?"

Cheng Lin’s frown deepened, but she still said, "I am Cheng Lin."

Fang Yuxin then replied, "So it’s Miss Cheng. Your breadth of heart truly shames me. However... Miss Cheng, you are also a Second-level Wood Element Superpower User, aren’t you? Can’t you see that Mr. Qu has only sustained superficial injuries? By not treating him, I’m hardly neglecting a critical condition. Moreover, with such a generous spirit as yours, Miss Cheng, I wonder how many people you save daily? Beishi Base is massive, with tens of thousands of people hunting zombies outside every day, countless individuals get injured—I wonder how many Miss Cheng has saved?"
