[He’s not the one who met grandfather, nor is he our god. His age is similar to mine. What right does he have to test me?]

[I still find entrusting humanity’s fate to you all quite inappropriate!]

[Grandfather...]

[That little animal on his shoulder is so cute, and it even winked at me!]

[What kind of animal is that?]

[...? Why is his gaze so playful?]

[I should appear composed, right?]

[I really want to pet that little animal...]

Xu Xin couldn’t help but chuckle.

Unexpectedly, Wei Shishi has quite a lot of inner drama.

You really can’t tell just by looking at the surface. She’s the type that’s cold on the outside but passionate inside.

However, abruptly sitting in the position of the Wei Family’s Patriarch prevents her from expressing her emotions freely, so since meeting her, she’s been expressionless.

"Yingying?"

In the end, Wei Shishi conceded, slightly shifting her gaze a few degrees, "Has anyone ever told you that it’s rude to stare at someone?"

Xu Xin smiled slightly, "Sorry, I was impolite."

Then he turned his head towards Xu Ying, "Don’t worry, there’s no problem."

"That’s good, that’s good."

Xu Ying immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she always believed in Wei Shishi, she still needed Xu Xin to confirm.

After all, the matter is of great importance.

Wei Shishi didn’t know what the two were talking about, nor did she want to know, so she directly said, "You’re here to transport weapons, right? I’ve already prepared them, they’re right here. If you can take them away, they’re all yours."

"No rush, Shishi, here’s the thing. I brought my brother here because..."

Saying this, Xu Ying took out that little device for sound blocking and gently pressed it, blocking the sound.

Then she started retelling the situation on the surface and the purpose of Xu Xin’s visit.

Wei Shishi’s pupils were filled with shock and disbelief upon hearing that there’s a world tree on the surface with a time flow rate a hundred times faster.

When she heard about Xu Xin’s mind-reading ability, she suddenly looked sharply at Xu Xin, "You..."

[Mind reading!?]

[How could there be such an ability?!]

"Of course there is." Xu Xin smiled slightly, "Right now, I can read your mind. You can ask me a few questions in your mind, and I’ll answer them."

Wei Shishi opened her mouth, then stared intensely at Xu Xin.

[What’s your name?]

"I’m Xu Xin, you know that."

[How old are you this year!]

"I was just out of college when I came to this world, twenty-two."

"You... You really can...!"

Wei Shishi’s face started to blush slowly, pointing at Xu Xin, her mouth slightly trembling, "You..."

"Alright, brother, quickly turn off your mind-reading ability." Xu Ying rolled her eyes at Xu Xin, "Does reading a girl’s mind feel good to you?"

"I was just proving my ability." Xu Xin shrugged slightly, then turned off his mind-reading ability.

When having conversations, he didn’t like to activate this ability, not even when communicating with Silver King Mimi and others.

Once mind reading is activated, everyone within range is triggered.

The inner voices are mostly very clear, and he can hear them, so they can’t be treated as background noise, which makes his mind chaotic.

Like just now, besides Wei Shishi’s inner voice, he also heard others.

[That couple, are they really our gods! They appeared here suddenly!]

[Are they here to take us back to the surface?]

[Didn’t expect, gods really do exist!]

[Why can’t we hear anything?]

[What exactly did they say? Why is the Patriarch’s expression like this, are these two going to harm the Patriarch?!]

So many people.

Many, at least dozens.

These people were probably hiding in those armed devices, and Xu Xin didn’t notice them before activating mind reading.

It makes sense; as the leader of the highest-standing family in the current underground human base, how could Wei Shishi come alone to meet others?

Even if Wei Shishi is at ease, others wouldn’t be.

Especially now, with the recent leadership change in Wei Family, it’s in a relatively turbulent period.

"Alright, I’ve turned off the mind-reading ability." Xu Xin waved his hand.

"...Xu Ying, come over here!" Wei Shishi grabbed Xu Ying and was about to leave.

"Ah... but..."

Xu Ying was pulled away by Wei Shishi, but before leaving, she gave a look to Xu Xin.

Her meaning was for Xu Xin to check if there were any problems with the surrounding people.

Although she couldn’t read minds, with her perception, she immediately knew many people were hiding around.

Xu Xin nodded and began to walk leisurely around.

"Ying!" Keke raised her little paw pointing at a vehicle, "Yingyingying!"

"I know, Keke, someone’s inside there."

"Ying!"

Keke nodded her little head.

Xu Xin activated the mind-reading mode again.

Sure enough, the voices came from that car.

"Ying!"

"Yingyingying!"

Keke pointed her little paw at two other vehicles.

Three large tactical trucks, all of them had people inside.

"Is there really a need to be so sneaky?" Xu Xin shook his head.

From their inner voices, it could be heard that the reason was that Wei Shishi didn’t allow them to come, but they were too worried and wanted to sneak over to check.
