#778 - Xu Quan
Soon, Wei Changtian met Xu Quan.
Although the two had seen each other a few times in the past two days, it was only a formality.
Therefore, this was Wei Changtian's first official "meeting" with this Child of Destiny.
Not tall, not short, not fat, not thin, not dark, not fair.
With ordinary looks, yet like Tang Chen, Shen Ran, and others, he possessed a inexplicable "protagonist aura".
"Young Master Xu, I've heard so much about you."
After sizing up the man in front of him, Wei Changtian said with a smile, "I heard from Xu Sui... cough, Miss Xu, that you have the ability to control beasts?"
Without any unnecessary pleasantries or idle chatter, Wei Changtian got straight to the point.
In fact, if it were two years ago, he probably wouldn't have been so casual.
But in the past two years, he had seen too many Children of Destiny, and even killed a few, so he no longer felt any "novelty" when facing Xu Quan.
A Child of Destiny was nothing special.
"Young Master Wei, yes, I have indeed done some research into the way of the beasts."
On the other side, seeing Wei Changtian being so direct, Xu Quan didn't beat around the bush either.
"My younger sister should have told you the specifics, so I won't boast about anything."
"In short, I am extremely grateful to you for helping my younger sister resist the enemy this time, and I want to do my part for you, both to repel the enemy as soon as possible and to repay you for helping my younger sister."
“. . . ”
Opening his mouth it's "younger sister", closing his mouth it's "younger sister".
Xu Quan said a total of three sentences, in which the words "younger sister" were mentioned three times, which was enough to show how important Xu Suisui was in his heart.
As the latter's only relative, the importance of Xu Suisui was self-evident.
Tsk tsk tsk.
Ordinary background, parents dead, even if there are relatives in the world, they can only be a younger sister...
This is the standard Child of Destiny!
What was Ning Yongnian before? He didn't meet this well-known condition at all!
While listening to Xu Quan's words, Wei Changtian thought about these random things.
But Xu Quan on the opposite side didn't know what he was thinking, and was still continuing to say:
"Young Master, I have long heard of the name of the Hounds of Heaven Army, and I also know that this army has begun to show its edge in the previous battles."
"Now, many countries in the world have begun to imitate the Hounds of Heaven Army to form new armies, and they have placed great expectations on this kind of demon-human army."
"But in my opinion, such a new army has its strengths and weaknesses."
"Demonic beasts are not as good as humans. Once they are out of control, they will destroy the entire army in an instant."
"Not to mention whether the enemy will deliberately make an issue of this, even in normal battles, the demon-human army also has the risk of self-destruction."
"I think even the Hounds of Heaven Army will be no exception..."
“. . . ”
One sentence after another, one paragraph after another.
From the advantages and disadvantages of the demon-human army to the countermeasures that the enemy may develop from this, to the necessity of solving these drawbacks...
Xu Quan seemed to be a bit of a perfectionist, and everything had to be explained clearly. At this time, he had been chattering about "professional knowledge" for a long time, regardless of Wei Changtian's gradually speechless expression.
"That, Young Master Xu..."
After a long while, Wei Changtian saw that Xu Quan hadn't stopped, so he finally couldn't help but interrupt, "What you said makes a lot of sense, but to be honest, I usually don't care much about the Hounds of Heaven Army."
"I'll just ask you one question."
In Xu Quan's serious gaze, Wei Changtian paused and asked solemnly:
"If you are given enough power in the army, can you turn the Hounds of Heaven Army into an army without weaknesses?"
Enough power.
Obviously, Wei Changtian was not interested in listening to Xu Quan's "theories", and only wanted to know how capable the latter was.
Normally, according to the generally "arrogant" personality of the Children of Destiny, Xu Quan should have calmly uttered a "yes" at this time.
But the actual situation was...
"No."
"Young Master, there cannot be an army without weaknesses under this heaven."
“. . . ”
"Uh, Young Master Xu, what I mean is..."
Looking at the serious Xu Quan, Wei Changtian couldn't help but explain more clearly: "Can you solve the weaknesses of the Hounds of Heaven Army that you just mentioned?"
"That is possible."
Xu Quan answered quickly this time: "But Young Master, I still have to make it clear that the Hounds of Heaven Army cannot become completely without weaknesses. I can only solve the defects in the demon beast aspect."
"Yes, yes, yes, I know it's impossible, you don't have to repeat it..."
Supporting his forehead with his hand, Wei Changtian suddenly felt that it was very difficult to talk to someone like Xu Quan.
Curling his lips, after clearly expressing that he completely understood Xu Quan's meaning, he helplessly asked again:
"Young Master Xu, how long will it take?"
"Um... this is hard to say."
Xu Quan still had a straight face, and replied seriously: "After all, it depends on the specific situation of the Hounds of Heaven Army, and it also depends on..."
"Stop! Just give me a rough estimate of the time!"
Wei Changtian interrupted directly: "Don't be so precise!"
"This..."
"Young Master, this matter is indeed not..."
"Okay, forget it."
Sighing lifelessly, Wei Changtian didn't force the embarrassed Xu Quan to give a time, but weakly urged:
"Young Master Xu, the Hounds of Heaven Army will arrive tonight."
"I will have someone call you later, and we will go together."
"We'll talk about the rest then."
“. . . ”
Waving his hand, Wei Changtian was too lazy to continue "discussing" with Xu Quan.
And the latter didn't say anything when he saw him like this, and soon cupped his hands and walked out of the room.
"Good fellow..."
Slumping in his chair, Wei Changtian never expected Xu Quan to be such a personality.
To put it nicely, it's called rigorous and meticulous.
To put it bluntly, isn't it just being a perfectionist and stubborn?
If this personality were to do scientific research, it would probably be a good hand...
"Has Xu Quan always been like this?"
Hearing a slight movement behind him, Wei Changtian asked a question without turning his head.
Soon, Xu Suisui, who slowly appeared from behind the screen, replied softly:
"Yes, I only realized he was such a person after I transmigrated."
"Then aren't you tired of getting along with him?"
Wei Changtian muttered: "Everything has to be said so clearly, isn't it difficult to communicate?"
"It is a bit difficult, but there is a reason for his being like this."
Xu Suisui explained seriously: "He will definitely do whatever he promises, so he has to explain everything very clearly."
"Is that so?"
Wei Changtian's eyes froze, but he didn't expect Xu Quan to have such an advantage.
But he didn't take it to heart too much, so after thinking for a while, he stood up and prepared to find Tang Chen to discuss something.
But just as he was about to push the door open, Xu Suisui's voice suddenly sounded behind him again.
"That, that, can you promise me one thing?"
"What's the matter?"
Wei Changtian turned his head and urged impatiently: "Speak quickly, what are you dawdling about?"
"Oh..."
Xu Suisui lowered her head and immediately replied softly:
"Can you, can you not kill him?"
“. . . ”
"This is hard to say. What if Xu Quan becomes my enemy in the future? Or what if he joins someone else like Du Chang? If I don't kill him, am I going to keep him for the New Year?"
"Besides..."
Faced with Xu Suisui's request, Wei Changtian didn't give her face, and after a slight pause, he began to analyze all kinds of possibilities in a reasonable manner.
And as he spoke, he suddenly understood one thing.
It turned out that if a person really intends to fulfill a promise, then they will often become perfectionists.
