Chapter 791 - World-class Paintings
Xiang Huai had been looking for her.
Xue Xi had long known about this. Back in the capital, the mysterious organization had sent her a message and asked her out to meet them. In order to show their sincerity, they had sent her an SSS-level confidential document from the special department. There was a missing person notice inside.
At that time, she found out that Xiang Huai had been looking for her.
Judging from the date, it must have been five years before he found her.
As for why he was looking for her…
Xue Xi had a guess in her heart, so she said, “Speak.”
Xiang Huai took a step forward. He had on his usual black pants, black shirt, and leather boots. He was wearing a black coat and a scarf that did not match his clothes. It was the one that Xue Xi had given him.
At this moment, when he approached Xue Xi, a faint sense of oppression hit her.
Xue Xi looked up at him.
Xiang Huai sighed silently. “Because of your special power.”
Indeed.
Xue Xi clenched her jaw.
On that missing person notice, there was information about her age, gender, and special abilities. They knew she could learn other people’s special abilities, but they did not know her name and identity.
Hence, when Xue Xi saw the SSS-level confidential document, her first reaction had been this.
Xiang Huai explained, “You should be able to tell that I’ve been expanding the special department’s influence. I want to gather all the specialists in China. Everyone’s special abilities are different, but your learning ability is the only one in the world. Your combat power is too strong.”
She could learn anyone’s special power and use it. From the looks of it, she was indeed invincible!
Xue Xi recalled that when she was overseas, Nicholas Xiu seemed to have been very interested in her identity. From the standpoint of Nicholas Xiu and Xiang Huai, it was natural to want to rope in a specialist like her and increase the strength of their respective countries.
Xue Xi understood. When she returned to her senses, she realized that Xiang Huai had his head lowered. He had one hand on the wall and was pressing her against the wall. At this moment, his face had become too close to hers…
Xue Xi’s cheeks turned red instantly. She bent down and slipped out from under his arm before walking in front. “Let’s take a look at the room I stayed in.”
Xiang Huai tilted his head and smiled as he looked at the girl’s retreating back.
He coughed and stood up. He then slowly followed behind Xue Xi and walked over.
The two of them first went to a large room with several small beds inside. She explained, “I lived here when I was young. When I got older, the orphanage mother prepared a separate room for me.”
Xiang Huai nodded and casually took a look.
It was noon and the children were taking an afternoon nap. It was not good for the two to disturb them. Xiang Huai shot a glance and moved his gaze away. Instead, it landed on the paintings hanging in the corridor.
After seeing those paintings, he narrowed his eyes and pointed at Xue Xi. “Have these paintings been hanging here since you were young?”
Xue Xi nodded. “As far as I could recall, they’ve always been here.”
As far as she could recall…
Xiang Huai was curious. “When did you start having memories?”
Xue Xi’s memory was shocking and her brain capacity was very high. She could do a few things at the same time, so when she heard Xiang Huai’s words, she hesitated for a moment and said, “When I was about five to six months old. I still remember how I was being carried by the orphanage mother while admiring these paintings.”
Xiang Huai: “…”
Geniuses were truly extraordinary.
At five or six months old, everyone was still ignorant, right? This fellow’s memory was actually so good.
Xiang Huai then pointed at the paintings. “What do you think of these paintings compared to the ones your mother drew and the ones that Recluse drew?”
Xue Xi sighed silently. “I don’t have the ability to appreciate art. In my opinion, they’re are all about the same. I can’t differentiate between good and bad.”
“…” Xiang Huai fell silent and could not help but tell her the truth. “Do you know that these paintings are world-renowned?”
Xue Xi: “?”
