87: Chapter 7 Help!

87: Chapter 7 Help!

Occasionally, the young man with gray hair would recall how Qin Qianbai looked when she first arrived in the sky city.

He often called her “Miss,” believing it was a fitting title.

This was not only because she came from a prominent family but also because she had, at least in the beginning, a very apparent attitude of a spoiled young lady.

The former Qin Qianbai was different from the current one.

Back then, she believed anyone who approached her had ulterior motives, either for her family or lusting after her body—considering her physique at the time, Gongsun Ce thought the former was likely, the latter was probably an overthought.

She was especially prejudiced against males of her age, viewing every movement they made as harboring evil intentions, whether to enchant her, kidnap her, or do other unspeakable things, or to corrupt her defenses with sweet words.

At that time, she truly was a terrible young lady.

Not only because of this self-centered way of thinking but also because she had the power to act on it: she would attack any man who tried to talk to her, light attacks like throwing them over her shoulder or severe ones like poking their eyes with her fingers.

Using a knife was common practice for her, and sometimes she even used the Qin Secret Skill on ordinary people.

She lacked common sense, was heavy-handed, arrogant, and hostile toward the outside world…

but these were not the worst.

The worst part was, upon her arrival in the sky city, her superpower had just awakened.

Like most kids who had just gained a superpower, she was anxious, uneasy, panicked, and irritable.

Beneath her expressionless mask hid all sorts of negative emotions, and her formidable power was very prone to lose control: the environment around her often exhibited weird distortions, like an unknowable demon realm, the objects she touched would be beyond recognition, and those walking beside her might well experience undeserved disasters.

She was not only a clueless, high combat-valued young lady but also a control-freak filled with anxiety.

Looking back now, Gongsun Ce felt that he survived those tortuous times because of his equally rotten mindset—three years ago, he had just returned from the country, and his mental state was probably no better than the young lady’s.

Fortunately, people change, especially adolescents.

After a long time of effort, he eventually made her a little less of a young lady.

Now, he only occasionally remembered her past behavior.

Like when a knife was held to his throat.

Like now.

“Stop!

Don’t hit Gongsun Ce!”

The superpower user raised his hands to surrender.

Qiluo, hanging onto him, jumped between the two, crossed her arms, and made a big X shape.

He wanted to thank her for her kindness, but from the way Miss edged her knife forward, it clearly had the opposite effect.

Gongsun Ce swallowed, and slowly began, “Qin Qianbai, let’s not mention for now…”

“Let’s not mention the fact that you touch girls inappropriately.”

That hurt, why did her glare feel as piercing as icicles?

When had this child learned a strange eye technique?

He braced himself against the chilling sensation and retorted stubbornly, “Let’s not dwell on whatever misunderstanding you have.

Do you really think Mr.

Gongsun is the kind of man who would initiate physical contact with strange women?”

The first breakthrough was “trust.”

It was completely understandable to misinterpret such an impactful scene.

The difference between friends and strangers lies in the trust built from memories!

The heart that believes is the almighty magic, like the shining sun, that melts a path to hope in the freezing snowfields!

He saw Miss Qin tilting her head as if reminiscing about their past interactions.

Yes, that was right.

Shift your gaze away from those unhealthy delusions, think about the trust, think about the years of our friendship!

Gongsun Ce was secretly elated, as she apparently recalled his upright character!

Look, the girl straightened her head, she was looking him in the eyes as she spoke!

“Yes.”

The sun had fallen.

No trace of light, walking alone in the icy, snowy wilderness.

So cold, was this the Ice Age?

As if to add evidence, the girl coldly stated, “The first time we met, you did just that.”

“That was a special case!!”

The young man with gray hair held his head and howled.

The pink-haired girl with twin ponytails exclaimed loudly, “You’re too much!

Gongsun Ce is a good man!” while Kardesia beside them chuckled gleefully.

You just wait, Kardesia Spencer.

I will definitely get back at you.

The murmurings of passersby became increasingly piercing, and he must resolve this issue as quickly as possible before completely socially dying!

The gray-haired young man took a deep breath, “Alright, Miss, setting aside special circumstances…”

“Setting aside the truth.”

As trust crumbled, it was time to resolve the issue with unemotional, factual evidence.

The second breakthrough was “evidence.”

Partial truths seen with the eyes can cause misunderstandings, but in front of evidence, all misconceptions and lies will shatter.

The cornerstone of the rational world is logic, the means to uncover truth is deduction, and in the end, what governs everything is evidence!

“You know me.

Mr.

Gongsun always obeys social decorum, and I would do my utmost to avoid such embarrassing incidents, right?

You can’t deny this!”

“Uh…”

Miss Qin slowly nodded.

Good, the logic of reason was taking effect.

Given the known premise that Gongsun Ce was an upright male, and the result observed was his proximity to a scantily clad girl, what could be deduced?

The answer was force majeure!

Miss Qin must have also thought of this, now all that was left was the last step—presenting the evidence sufficient to support the hypothesis!

“The reason for all this is the superpower of Miss Qiluo.”

He confidently raised his hand, now was the decisive moment.

“Her power disrupted my ability, so I couldn’t use telekinesis to push her away.

This is undeniable evidence, I’ll prove it to you right now!”

He directed his finger toward the short-skirted girl with twin ponytails and with the maximum force that wouldn’t hurt anyone, he activated his power!

“Rise!”

Whoosh.

The pink-haired twin ponytail girl floated up.

The wind stirred by telekinesis brushed against the girl’s short skirt.

The grey-haired young man and the Martial Arts Faction girl instinctively looked up.

From their angle, they could just catch a dazzling flash of white beneath the skirt.

“Ah!” Miss Qiluo blushed and held down her skirt before the fleeting white could be seen by passersby.

The Superpower User quickly erected a tall wall of white matter at lightning speed!

He removed the telekinesis in an instant and set her down gently and smoothly back on the ground!

The street idol covered her face and quietly said, “Ugh… pervert…”

The evidence was gone, oh no!

The Superpower User cried out in agony.

“How could this happen?!

It shouldn’t have!”

Less than three minutes ago he had tried it himself once.

He had felt the power activate but hadn’t managed to lift her; this wasn’t a false memory of his own making, so what was happening now?!

Could evidence in a briefcase just vanish?!

He was supposed to present a red card but found a black chess piece instead—this wouldn’t just anger the prosecutor, the judge would be furious too!

The path of logic and reasoning was also blocked.

Judging from the chill emanating from someone, he was nearly plunging from the Ice Age into the blazing inferno.

He had to think of something, brain, move!

Find the third breakthrough!

At that moment, Kaldesia Spencer raised her hand, drawing everyone’s gaze to her fingertips.

The Superpower User’s eyes brimmed with tears.

Had you finally seen the light, woman?

Say something, anything will do!

The golden-haired, hatted lady proclaimed with a precise articulation.

“It’s a fake!”

The Superpower User dodged a knife and charged at someone.

“Kaldesia Spencer!

I’m taking you down with me!”

“Little Qian, save me~ He’s trying to silence me~”

Qin Qianbai instantly appeared between the two.

“Qin Secret Skill…”

She stowed the dagger away, her right hand outstretched flat, fingers together, resembling a serpent.

“Flash Snake.”

Ah, what kind of technique was this anyway?

It seemed like she had used it before.

To the victims, it appeared like magic.

Her arm would vanish from sight, and then a sharp pain would strike near the head or neck, as if bitten by a snake.

After that, all would turn pitch black, and one could see nothing.

Back then, he could never have anticipated that being knocked out could years later become the key to saving his life.

The Superpower User fell backwards with a speed and posture impossible for ordinary people, almost parallel to the ground, his face crossing the Martial Artist’s line of sight!

“I’m going to run away!” The Superpower User screamed righteously, “Until you calm down!”

“Try it, Ah Ce, see how far you can get.”

The young lady transformed her palm into a fist and mercilessly smashed it down.

Her fist struck the concrete ground, forming a large crater.

The Superpower User, maintaining his prone position, was flung backward and shot across the ground like a rocket, flying towards the sky!

Qin Qianbai took a leap into the air, following close behind.

The golden-haired, hatted lady watched the two departing friends exclaim, “Yahoo!”

“Is this a Superpower battle!” Miss Qiluo looked on excitedly at the distance, “So cool!”

“To still speak like this, you’re quite the character~ What do we do now?”

The street idol picked up her guitar, watched the ongoing battle as it moved farther away, and said, “I want to find Mr.

Gongsun.”

Kaldesia grinned and brought her hands together.

“Then come with me!

I know where those two will end up eventually!”

·

A few minutes later.

Central United University, in front of the Laboratory Building.

Shiyu Lianyi was stuffing a stack of printed materials into his backpack.

The materials needed for the new club were unexpectedly numerous, but luckily he had prepared the electronic version in advance, just needing to persuade the teachers and get a stamp at the school.

Cyber Ghost Music Club…sigh, who would’ve thought this would attract both of their interests.

It shouldn’t have gone this way.

Normally composed, why did he make a mistake just now?

The answer was apparent without thinking—Kaldesia’s earlier remarks about love had thrown him into confusion.

Love… romance.

Should he find some time, to talk to her about this…?

Should he muster the courage…?

Shiyu Lianyi looked up at the sky, where a gray dot was steadily enlarging in his view.

“…?”

That was undoubtedly a friend flying through the sky, and the person following him looked exactly like Qin Qianbai.

Gongsun, like a superhero from a movie, landed on one knee, and in the next instant, dashed behind him like a grade-schooler playing hide-and-seek.

“…Ah?”

The fierce Qin Qianbai then landed, and the Superpower User, unconcerned by the stares from fellow students, crouched behind his friend and wailed.

“Mr.

Shiyu, save me!”
