illicit relationship



"Lei, do you think they are related to the Red Moon group?" Xing Hanxian inquired.

"I suspect so." Wu Lei also suspected that evil group was related to the Red Moon group.

"Grandpa, what is this Red Moon group?" Xing Juzong asked curiously.

"It's an evil group." Xing Hanxian began explaining everything.

The Red Moon Group was an evil group that conducted experiments on children. It was this group that kidnapped Qiao Luli and subjected her to experiments.

Even though they succeeded in destroying the Red Moon group, but some of them managed to escape.

When they were destroying the secret lab, they also found several failed animal experiments.

They suspected that the Red Moon group conducted experiments on humans and animals.

After hearing his grandfather's explanation, Xing Juzong was enraged. "Then we have to destroy that evil group immediately. We must not allow such a group to roam freely in this world."

"I agreed with brother Juzong's words." Tan Zemin added. "Village head, let's declare war against Sanlow village. That evil group is helping Sanlow village, so we can destroy that evil group while dealing with Sanlow village. It's like killing two birds with one stone."

"I agreed, village head." Huang Hu added.

"But what about finding Zhiku plant?" Wu Lei also wanted to declare war against Sanlow village, but he wanted Qiao Luli to recover from her disease first.

Tan Zemin and the others could not say anything after hearing Wu Lei's words because they also wanted Qiao Luli to recover from her disease. 

They felt sorry for her whenever her disease recurred because she always felt immense pain. 

"Lei, don't make hasty decisions." Xing Hanxian spoke and paused for a second before he continued, "Even though destroying that evil group is important, but curing your granddaughter's disease is also important."

"That's right." Siyi uttered, "How about talking about this with your granddaughter and daughter first? With this, you can make the best decision later." 

"Yes. I will talk about this with Luli and Wan'er later." Wu Lei decided to discuss this with his granddaughter and daughter first because it was an important matter.

Tan Zemin and the others also agreed because Wu Lei was a grandfather before a village head.

As Wu Lei and the others were discussing something important, Qiao Luli jumped happily in the training area.

The reason was simple.

It was because she had broken through to the mid-level master stage!

Mid-level master stage martial artist at the age of seventeen.

Something like this had never happened in Solaris village before.

Qiao Luli was the first.

That was why the other villagers congratulated her endlessly.

"Yay!" Qiao Luli jumped with a big smile on her face. "I'm a martial artist at the mid-level master stage now! With this, I can help everyone fight our enemies." 

Her grandfather had always forbidden her from joining the village guard squad because she was not strong.

Her grandpa said he would allow her to join the village guard squad once she broke through to the mid-level master stage. 

Now that she had broken through to the mid-level master stage, she could join the village guard squad and protect everyone. 

'I will go home and tell grandpa about this.'

With that idea in mind, Qiao Luli ran to her house with a smile on her face.

'I can't wait to see his reaction. Hehe.'

The smile on her face grew bigger when she imagined her grandpa's shocked expression.

After running for several minutes, she finally arrived home.

"Grandpa, I've broken through to the mid-level master stage!" she shouted happily after stepping into the living room.

'Eh?! Why are there so many people in my house?'

She added in her mind.

Wu Lei and the others turned their heads toward Qiao Luli.

'What?! She had broken through to the mid-level master stage?!'

The expression of deep shock blossomed on their faces after hearing her words.

Qiao Luli was still seventeen years old, so they found it hard to believe what they were hearing.

Of course, they were happy for her.

'Is it because of the serum? Or is it because she is talented in martial arts?'

They did not know whether it was because she was talented in martial arts or because a special serum had been infused into her body. 

"Hehe." Qiao Luli giggled happily when she saw their surprised expressions. "I'm amazing, right?"

"Congratulation, Luli!" Huang Hu broke out the silence.

"Congratulation, Luli!" Tan Zemin uttered.

"Congratulation, Luli!" Mao spoke.

One by one, they congratulated her for breaking through to the mid-level master stage.

Qiao Luli was satisfied with their reactions. "Grandpa, now I can join the village guard squad, right?"

Wu Lei did not immediately give an answer. 

Even though she was a martial artist at the mid-level master stage now, he still did not want her to join the village guard squad because it was dangerous.

She could lose her life anytime and anywhere if she joined the village guard squad. 

He was not ready!

He did not want to put her in a dangerous situation because he was afraid that he would lose her forever.

Sure, he did not protect her immediately when she was at Kingstrie Lake with Xiao Tian and Xing Juzong, but at that time, he was close to her.

The people from Sanlow village also did not attack her at that time, so he was not afraid.

However, it was a different story if she joined the village guard squad because he could not always be there for her.

Not only that, but she would also be given tasks once she joined the village guard squad, such as protecting villagers who wanted to pick herbs.

That task was quite dangerous because she could end up fighting people from Sanlow village or experimental beasts.

That was why he wanted her to keep becoming a normal villager because, with this, she did not need to put herself in a dangerous situation.

However, he did not dare to refuse her wish directly because he believed she would get angry at him later.

'How can I refuse her wishes without making her angry?'

He knew how badly she wanted to join the village guard squad because she often talked about it.

For this reason, he did not know how to refuse her wish. 

'Zemin, you are the captain of the village guard squad, so help me.'

Wu Lei turned his head toward Tan Zemin, hoping Tan Zemin would help him. 

However, Tan Zemin did not say anything and turned his head to the other side.

Because Wu Lei did not say anything, Qiao Luli repeated her words. "Grandpa, now I can join the village guard squad, right?"

Huang Hu and the others shifted their gazes from Qiao Luli to Wu Lei. Of course, they knew how deep his love was for his granddaughter.

That was why they wanted to know what his answer would be.

Qiao Luli walked closer to her grandpa before finally holding his right hand. "Grandpa, you agree, right?"

She would not take no for an answer because her dream was to protect the villagers from their enemies.

"Luli, let grandpa talk with Zemin about this first?" Wu Lei made an excuse.

Qiao Luli pouted her lips because her grandpa did not agree instantly. "Grandpa, I will be angry at you if you don't keep your words."

Wu Lei felt like crying after hearing her words.

'Oh, no!'
