Chapter 64: The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility(1/2)
The next day, early morning.
After learning that Li Xia and others had returned, Chen Xuan came to the office early in the morning.
Seeing the few people getting along peacefully, I finally let go of my worries.
"Mr. Chen, what's wrong with you coming here so early?"
Wang Sicong asked while chewing the buns.
"I have nothing to do, I just came here to take a look." Chen Xuan chuckled.
As he spoke, he glanced around the room, "Well, where are the others?"
Wang Sicong looked around. Except for Li Xia, everyone in the room was present.
"No, are they all here?" Wang Sicong asked doubtfully.
Suddenly he remembered something and continued: "Are you looking for Kakashi?"
"Stuck..." Chen Xuan was speechless for a moment.
At this moment, there were several strange noises coming from outside the door.
Li Xia was walking towards the crowd holding a tool to clear the sewer.
The few people who were still having breakfast looked disgusted, hurriedly picked up the food in their hands and hid aside.
"Please give way." Li Xia stood in front of Chen Xuan and said calmly.
Chen Xuan was stunned for a moment and quickly made way for Li Xia to pass through the aisle.
Seeing Li Xia's skillful movements, Chen Xuan laughed and said, "See, how aware is Xiao Li that he is willing to do such dirty work?"
"You guys still need to learn more from others!"
Wang Sicong sneered and said, "If it weren't for the two hundred yuan, he wouldn't have gone!"
Chen Xuan's face immediately darkened, he looked at Wang Sicong and said coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about? Then why don't you go?"
Wang Sicong was speechless for a moment.
After all, when faced with Uncle Liu's request, he was the one who refused most simply.
"Xiao Li, come out for a moment."
Chen Xuan looked at Li Xia who had just washed his hands and said.
Li Xia nodded, followed Chen Xuan and walked out of the door.
The two of them walked along the road outside the door, wandered to the lake, and found a clean place to sit down.
"Mr. Chen, are you looking for me? Is there anything wrong?" Li Xia asked.
Chen Xuan turned sideways and looked at Li Xia carefully.
After a while, he sighed and said, "Fortunately, your kid is safe, otherwise, I might feel guilty for the rest of my life."
"Is it because of the Lingxu incident?" Li Xia said expressionlessly.
Chen Xuan chuckled and said, "You know everything?"
"Probably." Li Xia said calmly: "You asked us to go to the beast cave to collect crystal stones. There should be two purposes, right?"
"First, it is to familiarize us with the den."
"Second, it is to allow me to expand the spiritual ruins."
"Right?"
Chen Xuan was stunned for a moment and nodded, "My brain is quite slippery."
"Yes, it's exactly what you said."
"To be honest, I was just taking a gamble at that time."
"I'm actually not sure whether you can succeed..."
As he spoke, a smile gradually filled Chen Xuan's face, "I didn't expect that I would understand Lingxu at such a young age."
"Since the first year of Tianqi, you are probably the first one who can understand Houtian Lingxu at your age."
Li Xia lowered his eyebrows and said, "But, I almost died."
"I know." Chen Xuan's face darkened slightly, and he looked at Li Xia with a little guilt in his eyes.
"But, I have to give it a try."
"The Valley of the Wind is sealed, and Linghai City may fall into crisis at any time."
"At this time, a person with Lingxu will become a strong backing for Linghai City!"
"I know it's unfair to you, and you can blame me."
"But I hope you understand that with great power comes great responsibility."
After speaking, the two fell into silence.
At this moment, a staggering old man passed by in front of the two of them.
With a kind smile on his face, he greeted Li Xia.
"Xiao Li, thank you for today. If it weren't for you, my old house would have been flooded!"
Li Xia responded with a smile, "It's okay, Uncle Liu, I'll fix it for you this time and it won't leak anymore."
"Okay." Uncle Liu smiled.
That wrinkled face had a particularly sincere smile.
"Xiao Li, do you know why you are asked to come to the Chengxi Office?"
Looking at Uncle Liu's limping back, Chen Xuan suddenly spoke.
Li Xia shook his head.
Chen Xuan paused and said: "Do you think that as the experimental team of the Demon Slayer Tower, we have to deal with these trivial matters every day, which is a waste of money?"
Li Xia thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No."
Chen Xuan was startled.
Don’t normal people think the price has dropped?
For example, those who are still in the office!
Why is this kid so different from them?
"Why?" Chen Xuan asked doubtfully.
"Earn money." Li Xia said seriously.
Okay, no more worries.
I thought this guy was different because of his high ideological consciousness.
I didn't expect it to be even more tacky than the others.
Chen Xuan was speechless for a moment.
"Don't you have any other feelings besides money?"
"There are still some." Li Xia nodded.
Chen Xuan looked at Li Xia expectantly and asked, "How do you feel?"
Li Xia thought for a moment and said calmly: "There will be a sense of accomplishment."
"Yes!"
Li Xia's answer made Chen Xuan even more excited.
He patted his thigh suddenly and continued: "Look, Uncle Liu smiled so happily just now."
"The reason why he smiles is because you helped him deal with the trouble."
"So he will be grateful to you, and it is precisely because of his gratitude that it brings you a sense of accomplishment."
After listening to Chen Xuan's words, Li Xia fell into deep thought.
He seemed to understand why Wang Sicong was so excited that he was incoherent because of a banner.
"Look around." Chen Xuan continued.
Li Xia did as he was told and looked around.
As soon as the eye enters, there are children playing on the grass.
A couple going out on a date.
There are busy office workers.
There are vendors shouting about buying and selling.
