Chapter 41

"Owner, school is out. Hurry up and get on, we're about to take off." The man at the helipad entrance smiled warmly.

He had been here every day for the past few days.

Xu Sining was already quite familiar with him.

"Yes, school is out. Is it just me again today?"

"For now, someone else has returned before."

"Oh? I see." Xu Sining nodded and ran up to the aircraft.

He had never encountered any of his classmates from Hundred Flowers Manor.

Ling Ting watched with a warm smile as Xu Sining boarded the aircraft, then turned to look at the man in the black trench coat standing not far away, his expression instantly changing.

Ling Ting's face was stern, his eyes filled with menace.

It seemed that if the other party took one more step forward, he would unleash a deadly assault.

After a moment of intense eye contact, the man in the black trench coat lowered his head and turned to leave.

Only after he had walked some distance did he pull out his phone and send a message: "Didn't catch him, there's someone protecting him."

The man hesitated for a moment, then sent another message: "He seems to have a protective talisman. My control power had no effect when it hit him. Perhaps you should consider a different method to capture him."

His control power had never failed to work when it struck someone before.

Of course, his opponents had at most S-level mental power. He hadn't faced anyone above SS Level, but even if he did, they could at most resist partially, reducing the duration of his control.

But just now, he clearly hit Xu Sining with the energy sphere, and he showed no reaction at all.

Xu Sining's records stated that he was only at A Level.

So, he must have some treasure on him.

What kind of treasure is it?

He became quite curious.

On the spacecraft, Xu Sining happily collected the free snacks.

Today there were spicy sticks, potato chips, chocolate beans, and cookies.

There were also two bottles of milk tea and five packs of jelly.

Weekend snacks were all set.

During the days Xu Sining was away, Gu Xi's body had fully recovered, except for her mental power, which still couldn't break through A Level.

Helian Xin and he both believed this might be a lingering effect.

With no other options, they could only hope she would recover on her own.

Helian Xin mentioned to him before leaving today that perhaps he could try letting Xiaoning hug him again.

Or take it a step further; maybe there really is something special about Xiaoning.

Gu Xi wanted to find a suitable moment to wake up and stop teasing him.

So before Xusi Ning returned, he made sure to clean himself up, planning for a special night tonight, hoping they could finally reach the last step. Who knows, doing it might just bring him back to full strength.

When Xusi Ning returned to the villa, he sensed something different.

Today, the servants didn't swarm around him to take him to the kitchen for snacks!

Xusi Ning's eyes involuntarily looked upstairs.

The maid was wiping the staircase railing at the entrance, smiling and greeting him, "Young Master Xiaoning, you're back. Rest for a bit; dinner will be ready soon."

"Okay, I'll go upstairs first," Xusi Ning said.

"Sure thing," the maid replied with a smile. "By the way, there are things from the mall on your table in your room."

"Oh? Okay." Xusi Ning had no idea what could have been sent, so he went upstairs and entered his room. There, he saw a large, beautiful box on the table. Curious, he opened it.

"Wow!"

Inside were the rings he had tried on at the mall, over twenty of them!

Did... did Elder Brother buy these?

Xusi Ning turned his head suspiciously toward the man on the bed.
