Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook

When the four of them parted ways at the base gate, they didn't say a word.

They dug a pit and buried Xie Cheng's remains.

Xie Qingyu used the wooden plaque given to her by Ji Lingshen to erect a monument for him.

They knew perfectly well what the outcome of this trip would be.

Although Xie Qingyu felt the concerned looks from Zhou Yao and Wang Peng before they parted, she still didn't say anything to them.

They were willing to accompany us to find out the truth, which was more than enough.

There are no saints in the end times; everyone is acting in their own self-interest.

Through Xie Cheng's incident, they also realized that the base was not as friendly as it seemed on the surface.

When Xie Qingyu and Ji Lingshen returned to the villa, Chang Xinrui and Chang Qing, who were whispering to each other, did not notice them.

It wasn't until dinner time that Ji Lingshen cooked for Xie Qingyu and they came downstairs that they realized the two of them had already returned.

"You're back," Chang Xinrui said.

Xie Qingyu remained silent, while Ji Lingshen nodded.

Chang Qing looked at Xie Qingyu's still red eyes and, unusually, didn't argue with her.

Xie Cheng's death had a greater impact on Chang Qing than another event, so she did not experience intense grief.

It's just a pity that she won't have a father like Xie Cheng who will treat her so well in the future.

However, this is not necessarily a bad thing.

Chang Qing looked at Chang Xinrui, wondering when she planned to tell Ji Lingshen.

Chang Xinrui didn't keep her waiting long. "Your father is dead, so we shouldn't be living in this villa anymore. Someone already notified us while you were away today, asking us to move out."

Xie Qingyu did not react to her words.

But Chang Xinrui's words were clearly directed at her, "Your father is dead, and we have no blood relation to you. Although Aqing is your older sister, you two don't get along, so it's better not to live together. You are an ability user, so you can live in a better place. The three of us, mother and son, will not bother you. You can move out on your own."

Xie Qingyu sensed something was off about Chang Xinrui's words.

She asked, seemingly out of concern, "Where is Aunt Chang planning to stay? In a place where ordinary people live? Ji Lingshen has superpowers, so he can only bring one person to live in the superpowered person area."

"You don't need to worry about that. As long as you're doing well, that's all that matters." Chang Xinrui clearly didn't want to answer her question, and even spoke as if she was thinking of Xie Qingyu's best interests.

“I live with Qingyu,” Ji Lingshen said. “If you two have any plans, you don’t need to take me with you.”

Ji Lingshen's words froze Chang Xinrui's smile. "That won't do!"

Chang Xinrui looked anxious, but Ji Lingshen remained unmoved.

“If you don’t follow me, your mother’s things…” Chang Xinrui said subconsciously.

It wasn't until Ji Lingshen looked at her with a somewhat eerie gaze that she belatedly realized that the person in front of her was no longer the little boy she could manipulate.

Realizing that a hard approach wouldn't work, they decided to try a softer one.

Chang Xinrui glanced at Xie Qingyu beside her, then thought about her level one ability and realized it didn't seem to pose any threat, before saying to Ji Lingshen, "I ran into your father today; he's in this base too!"

Chang Xinrui admits that she doesn't really know this man who has been her husband for over ten years.

All I know is that his job is very busy and needs to be kept secret. In the beginning, he would go home every weekend.

After a year or two, we could only see each other once a year.

Although the couple didn't have much affection for each other due to the frequency of their meetings, the huge sums of money that were deposited into his account on time every month made Chang Xinrui happily act as his wife.

But things were different after the apocalypse. Chang Xinrui thought her husband, who was nowhere to be found, had died long ago, but she never expected to see him in this base.

Moreover, he was a highly valued experimenter at the base.

When Changqing first told her that he had seen Ji Ming, she didn't quite believe it. She only believed it after going with him to see for herself.

After it was confirmed, she was still struggling with what to do.

Xie Cheng here is a level three ability user, so he can live comfortably in the base. But Ji Ming is the main person in charge of researching serums, so he also receives a lot of benefits.

Just then, Xie Cheng passed away, which was a good thing for Chang Xinrui.

“Really? I saw him too,” Ji Lingshen said.

Upon hearing this, Chang Xinrui looked at Ji Lingshen. He had known all along?

"Uncle Xie just left, and Sister Qingyu is feeling unwell, so I'm staying with her. If you'd like to find my dad, then go ahead; otherwise, you'll probably have to go to an area where ordinary people live." Ji Lingshen glanced at Xie Qingyu, who had already finished eating, and then pulled her upstairs with him.

The mother and daughter were left staring at each other at the table.

When I woke up the next morning, Chang Xinrui and Chang Qing were gone; they had probably gone to meet their relatives.

Xie Qingyu looked at the empty villa and the eggs on the plate in front of her, "Aren't you going to find your father?"

"Do you want to come with me?" Ji Lingshen asked.

Xie Qingyu shook her head.

“I will probably go, when you’re willing to come with me,” Ji Lingshen suddenly said.

His words successfully drew Xie Qingyu's attention to him.

Seeing Xie Qingyu's slightly red and swollen eyes, Ji Lingshen's fingers on the table twitched, as if he wanted to smooth them out.

“Uncle Xie’s death is inextricably linked to the lab technicians.” Ji Lingshen looked directly into Xie Qingyu’s eyes, making sure she listened to what he was saying.

“And my father is the head of the laboratory,” Ji Lingshen said.

A ripple finally appeared in Xie Qingyu's eyes, which gave Ji Lingshen hope. He said in a softer voice, "This is a very good way to get close to the experimenters. You should know that all the experimenters live in the same area, including the two who went on missions with Uncle Xie."

Ji Lingshen successfully persuaded Xie Qingyu.

Seeing her lower her head and remain silent, Ji Lingshen understood what she was thinking.

"You can postpone it for a couple of days, and we'll go over when you're in control of your emotions."

Xie Qingyu nodded.

If she saw the two lab technicians who went on the mission with Xie Cheng, she would definitely lose control of her emotions.

"Won't this cause you trouble?" Xie Qingyu asked, her head down.

Ji Lingshen felt a tightness in his chest, and a dark thought inexplicably arose: why did he have to hurt Xie Cheng? He was Xie Qingyu's only family member in the world.

"It's alright, it's just one more person living here. He won't even notice. Besides, you're an esper, so living together won't cause any trouble," Ji Lingshen comforted her.

"Thank you for your trouble..." Xie Qingyu said sincerely.

"No matter what, I will stand by your side." Ji Lingshen's tone was firm.

However, Xie Qingyu did not realize it at the time.
