Chapter 8: Qicheng and the Supernatural Association, completely different attitudes
"Those guys from the Supernatural Association! What on earth are they doing to kick Master Li Xiao off the list?"

"If it weren't for Lord Li Xiao's intervention, the Ability Association would probably be in the same situation as Qi City, and would still be struggling against the beast tide."

"It's ridiculous. The contributions of Mr. Li Xiao over the years have been overshadowed by the casualties of 500 people."

"Humph, I think the Supernatural Association has cultivated a new SSS-level supernatural person, and now they are destroying Master Li Xiao!"

After reading the entire process of the incident on the notice paper released by the Superpower Association, Chen Xuan and everyone else couldn't help but feel indignant.

They all felt sorry for Li Xiaoming.

Especially Chen Xuan. Just imagine that he has guarded Qi City for such a long time. If one day there is a new SS-level person who wants to join forces with other psychics to drive him away, he will probably go crazy.

But looking at Li Xiao in front of him, he felt inexplicably calm.

Chen Xuan asked: "Master Li Xiao, aren't you angry?"

Li Xiao looked at the indignant crowd and felt it was a bit ironic.

The city and people that I had protected for five full years were now being criticized by everyone.

On the contrary, these people who have never received any favor or protection from me are now complaining about themselves.

He shook his head slightly.

"From now on, I just want to have nothing to do with the Supernatural Association. Now, I just want to find a place to stay for a long time."

"I understand." Chen Xuan nodded slightly. He understood clearly and said seriously.

"Master Li Xiao, it doesn't matter how long you want to live in Qicheng in the future. Qicheng will be your new home in the future."

"Yes, Master Li Xiao, we won't be like those guys from the Supernatural Association and burn bridges after crossing them!"

Xu Qing and others also nodded, and then looked at Li Xiao with admiration.

"Thank you very much."

Li Xiao nodded and thanked him.

After discussing the matter of staying in Qicheng for a long time in the future, the few of them did not stay on the city wall for long.

Because it was Xu Qing who brought Li Xiao back to Qi City, Chen Xuan gave the task of arranging accommodation for Li Xiao to Xu Qing.

After Li Xiao and others left the city wall, the team of psychics guarding the city wall were all excited because of Li Xiao's arrival and all their previous fatigue was swept away.

It is different from the Star City, a superpower association that brings together many superpowered people.

Because Qicheng often encounters waves of strange beasts, the facilities in the city are much older than before the strange beasts arrived.

The entire city does not have luxurious decorations or houses.

In other words, the entire Qi City is in a state of war preparation. Even ordinary people without special powers are working hard every day to provide logistical support for those with special powers.

Li Xiao and Xu Qing were walking on the city streets, although no one recognized Li Xiao along the way.

But everyone greeted Xu Qing, the psychic, respectfully after seeing him.

This kind of respect is not awe for the power of the psychic, but more like respect from the heart.

Li Xiao took in everything he saw and felt that this place was completely different from the Star City where the Superpower Association was located.

"Master Li Xiao, what do you think of this courtyard? Although it has been abandoned for a while, it has all the facilities. We only need to clean up the dust before we can move in."

At Li Xiao's request, Xu Qing found a more remote area with fewer people for Li Xiao.

Li Xiao looked at the small fenced yard in front of him. This fenced yard looked more like a farm in the countryside before the arrival of strange beasts.

In addition to the house in the center of the courtyard, there is also a lot of space in the front yard, which is more than enough to grow some plants and raise chickens and ducks.

"Yes, I am satisfied."

Li Xiao smiled and nodded.

Seeing Li Xiao's satisfied expression, Xu Qing's mood suddenly relaxed.

He said happily: "In that case, this small courtyard will be your residence from now on, Lord Li Xiao. I will arrange for someone to help you clean it up later."

[Reminder: The daily task has been completed, and you have obtained 9 eighth-level supernatural power enhancement fruits]

[Ding, a new mission begins. ]

[After unremitting efforts, you finally found a place to rest in, a small yard, after unloading all the burdens. ]

[The courtyard has been uninhabited for a long time, so there is a lot of dust and debris. ] [Host, please clean the courtyard manually without using your supernatural powers. ]

[Task Reward: 3 mutant tree seedlings, 10 random superpowered vegetable seeds]

Watch the daily tasks that pop up.

Li Xiao couldn't help but smile.

The tasks issued by the daily system are really routine.

You have to clean the yard by yourself, and you are not allowed to use your superpowers.

But thinking about it carefully, this seems to be exactly what I want right now.

"I can clean the yard myself, no need to trouble others." Li Xiao said.

Hearing this, Xu Qing didn't say much.

After communicating with Li Xiao for a while and making sure that Li Xiao had nothing else to do, he finally left.

Before leaving, Xu Qing even thoughtfully brought cleaning tools to Li Xiao.

Watched Xu Qingyuan go.

Li Xiao picked up the broom brought by Xu Qing and started sweeping the yard.

……

It was getting dark and night was falling.

Inside Chen Xuan’s residence.

"Xu Qing, how is Lord Li Xiao doing today?"

Looking at Xu Qing who came to report the news, Chen Xuan couldn't help but stand up and asked first.

Although Li Xiao was not at the scene, Chen Xuan subconsciously added "Sir" after the word Li Xiao.

This is a sign of respect for the world's first SSS-level psychic.

Hearing Chen Xuan's question, Xu Qing carefully recounted everything that happened when he accompanied Li Xiao in selecting the courtyard.

After hearing Li Xiao's final and very satisfactory answer, Chen Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Xuan's face, which had not smiled for a long time, finally showed a look of relief.

Although Li Xiao had only been in Qicheng for half a day.

But I don’t know why.

From the time Li Xiao came to Qicheng until now, Chen Xuan has felt more relaxed than ever before.

This was a feeling he hadn't had in the past five years.

If the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold it up.

In the past, Chen Xuan was the tallest person in Qi City. Every day, Chen Xuan had to guard against attacks from strange beasts on the city and endure the pressure of collapse that ordinary people could not bear.

But now, there is Li Xiao, a psychic who is more powerful than him.

Chen Xuan's smile faded and his tone became serious.

"Xu Qing, Lord Li Xiao is our Qicheng's greatest hope. I hope that in the days ahead, you can take care of him and meet all his needs for me, okay?"

Hearing this, Xu Qing also nodded seriously.

"Master Chen Xuan, don't worry. No matter what, even if I die, I will try my best to meet all of Master Li Xiao's requirements."

During these five years, we fought against strange beasts.

They knew very well how important a top-level psychic was to a city.

As long as Li Xiao can stay in Qicheng, Xu Qing will definitely keep his word even if it means asking them to die immediately.

The Supernatural Association was so foolish as to drive Li Xiao away by destroying his bridge after crossing it.

But they are not stupid.
