Xyrin Empire-Chapter 113 - ... Leader?

Chapter 113: Chapter 113 … Leader?

Perhaps it was because she’d never thought she’d encounter such a situation that Ding Ling stayed dazed for quite a while before she finally regained her thinking ability. Then, she suddenly screamed again, her eyes shining with gold as she clung to Lin Xue and babbled incoherently, “This… this… money… how much money is this going to be!”

What does she mean? Why do I always feel like I can’t understand the thoughts of this girl who, aside from her age, hasn’t grown up at all?

“How much money is this going to be!” Ding Ling’s words finally started to make some sense, “Suddenly finding so many superpower users, if we could develop them into organization members, think of the bonuses! The old man Ken is definitely going to bleed out! No way, Little Xue, you have to split four with me—no, two! Two will do! Then I’ll be rich! You absolutely must promise me, you must, if worse comes to worst, you can be the older sister, and I can be the younger sister!”

Ding Ling continued to ramble on with stars in her eyes, while we collectively broke into a cold sweat on the side.

What a powerful money-grubbing spirit it took to make such a feat of discussing selling others for a good price right in front of the guests!

Lin Xue had no choice but to once again peel Ding Ling off of herself, then forcefully press her onto the sofa; in just this short time, she had already had to do this several times, which showed just how difficult it was to calm Ding Ling down.

“Don’t even think about it; they won’t be joining the organization. They are all neutral superpower users,” Lin Xue said with a decisive tone and then added, worriedly, “And don’t get any crooked ideas; they are… no weaker than the organization…”

This statement was too euphemistic—a super empire spanning countless worlds, described with the term “no weaker than the organization”—truly a magical linguistic culture condensed from the 5,000 years of Chinese civilization!

Hearing Lin Xue’s words and seeing that her expression was no joke, Ding Ling finally calmed down and gave up the crooked idea she had in her mind.

As childhood friends who’d grown up together, Ding Ling knew when Lin Xue was joking and when she was serious.

After thinking briefly about what Lin Xue said, Ding Ling sensitively picked up on the phrase “no weaker than the organization.” She raised her eyebrows and addressed us seriously, “Are you from another superpower organization? Why have I never heard of it?”

It seemed that a rich imagination could also be a good attribute; at the very least, Ding Ling spontaneously provided us with such an excuse, saving me a lot of trouble.

“Just a small organization,” my sister said with a gentle smile, casually describing the vast Xyrin Empire as if it were some roadside club, “We just group together because of a common identity and a bit of existing connection in reality. We can’t really be considered a major power, and besides, we don’t want to get involved in those dangerous matters.”

“I can understand your point of view,” Ding Ling nodded, “But I think you should know—remaining neutral with such power is almost impossible. Not that every superpower user must join our superpower team, but for someone like you…”

“We know this as well; it’s just that a lot of the time we don’t want to get involved in all that messy business,” I shrugged and said, “If it weren’t for this incident being slightly related to us, we probably would have stayed hidden until doomsday…”

Ding Ling hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lin Xue, who nodded affirmatively.

“This incident… about the underground pyramid ruins exploding?”

“Indeed, they are here because of it,” Lin Xue answered for us, her heart still heavy with the thought of the explosion and the lost organization members, but the myriad experiences in the otherworld had somewhat shifted her attention away from that incident.

The incident had a significant impact on the entire Superpower Organization. Over a dozen of the most top-notch experts and scholars from various fields, along with a male superpower user, disappeared without a trace due to a mysterious explosion in the Mortal World. In addition, although a female superpower user did not enter the Pyramid with them, she mysteriously vanished near a small inn that was serving as a contact point nearby. Such a significant event hadn’t been seen in many years. Considering that the core members of the organization consisted of only a little over twenty superpower users and Lin Xue was one of the organization’s senior leaders, her disappearance was a massive blow to the organization.

To prevent too much impact on the other members of the organization, the news was quickly locked down as soon as it happened. Only a few of the highest-ranking leaders and certain special individuals within the organization were aware of it. Even Lin Xue’s brother, Lin Feng, was temporarily kept in the dark. Ding Ling had to secretly find out about the incident. Since she couldn’t use the organization’s channel to come here looking for Lin Xue, and she didn’t want to be nagged by the old men in her family all day long, Ding Ling had no choice but to ask Liu Zicai, whom she normally disapproved of, for help.

That’s how the term “sucker” came about earlier.

Since we couldn’t tell Ding Ling the full truth, we had to pool our collective wisdom and in just a few minutes concocted a story that was reasonably well-rounded—spiritual connection is a beautiful thing; at least with this ability, when creating lies, there’s no need to worry about inconsistencies…

“So you’re saying, you guys saved Little Xue?” Ding Ling, after hearing Lin Xue’s recounting of her experiences over the past “three days,” immediately expressed her gratitude to us.

“It was just lending a helping hand, and besides, Lin Xue’s situation wasn’t as bad as you imagine. The explosion at that time seemed to trigger some sort of space reaction that we humans can’t understand, and as a result, she ended up near us. Since she and I are also friends, I naturally couldn’t stand by without helping.”

We concocted a simple story. The details were that after the big explosion destroyed the entire Underground Pyramid, Lin Xue couldn’t rest easy and went to check on the situation. As a result, she encountered a second, slightly smaller explosion. This explosion, caused by mysterious energy, produced a Space Rift—an incomprehensible occurrence—that transported Lin Xue to one of our bases. Then, I discovered that the cause of the explosion might be related to a few crystals that our organization was preserving, so we went back with Lin Xue to investigate the truth, only to encounter a sandstorm and lose our way…

The entire story was vaguely described, and we lightly glossed over all the key points with the word “mysterious.” Although Ding Ling had her considerable doubts, she still believed us.

Firstly, as a member of the Superpower Organization, Ding Ling was used to mysterious incidents; she had often encountered complicated cases requiring a long investigation that yielded only a bit of useful information. Secondly, she was aware that some matters were confidential, and as we weren’t that familiar with each other yet, it was natural that we wouldn’t reveal all our secrets.

Anyway, as long as Lin Xue was safe, Ding Ling was already reassured. She left the complex issues to the old men to figure out—she guessed that just the matter of Space Jump alone was exciting enough to have the experts in the organization popping snot bubbles, right?

Ding Ling wryly thought.

“You say you and Little Xue are friends?” Ding Ling instantly returned to her lively demeanor as soon as the conversation veered away from serious matters. She hopped up to me and asked curiously, “How come I don’t know about it? I’m familiar with all of Little Xue’s friends.”

For the Nth time, Lin Xue pushed Ding Ling back onto the sofa and answered for me, “Remember a while ago I mentioned finding two superpower users, but they ultimately refused to join the organization? They are the two, Chen Jun and his foster sister, Pan Lili.”

“Ah—” Ding Ling had a sudden realization after being reminded by Lin Xue, “So it’s them, no wonder they refused to join us. They’re members of another organization…”

“More precisely, Leader…” Lin Xue stuck out her tongue and said, now reflecting on the past, it seemed truly reckless of her to even consider persuading two High Order Xyrin Apostles to join the Superpower Organization. It was as ridiculous as a street vendor trying to persuade Bill Gates to partner up. If other Races in the universe got wind of that, she would probably become an instant sensation across the entire universe—and in the same way that Sister Furong became famous…

Ding Ling was shocked again. She looked at me and the little girl in my arms with disbelief in her eyes; an utterly unremarkable looking young dude and a seemingly autistic, blind Loli were actually…

“I’m also the Leader of this organization…” Sandora said with an elegant smile, and with that, dropped yet another bombshell that successfully stunned Ding Ling into confusion.
