Chapter 118: Transactions
Ling Xiao took two steps back, sat down on the ground again, looked at the demon girl with a smile and said, "I, Professor Charles seems to have given me a nickname, called Doctor, maybe because my profession is a doctor." ”
"Doctor?" As she spoke, the Demon Girl's face became a little ugly, and the meaning of Ling Xiao's words was obvious, he had a good relationship with Charles, which meant that once there was a conflict, the X-Men would definitely stand on Ling Xiao's side, and it would be unwise to clash with him at this time.
The demon girl restrained the killing intent in her eyes, raised her head and glanced at Ling Xiao, and said, "I will tell Magneto about your request, I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." ”
The demon girl who calmed down finally put Ling Xiao in an equal position, and at this time she finally realized the value contained in Ling Xiao's actions just now, and even Professor Charles recognized his ability, so for the mutant brotherhood that was somewhat weak in the medical field, Ling Xiao's value was also very precious.
"No, I'm not trying to work with Magneto, I'm trying to work with you, Raven, I think you should know what to say to Magneto and what not to say to her." Looking at the demon girl who was about to leave, Ling Xiao showed a look of being in control.
The sentence "Ruiwen" made the Demon Girl's footsteps couldn't help but stop, she slowly turned around and looked at Ling Xiao with an incredulous expression, how did he know his name, and how much else did he know.
"Dear Raven." Ling Xiao took out another small porcelain bottle from her body and threw it to the Demon Girl, and said in a low voice, "You can give this to Magneto and tell him that I will only accept gems that contain strange energy." ”
"What is this?" The demon ** looked at Ling Xiao with a calm face, and the green tendons on his right hand holding the small porcelain bottle burst out.
"This is a pill called Ningshen Pill, which has a certain help in the treatment of mental trauma." Ling Xiao smiled lightly and continued, "I can see that Magneto's current state is not very good, it seems that he has suffered a lot during the time he has been locked up. ”
"I'll bring your word to Magneto." The Demon Girl glanced at Ling Xiao deeply, and at this time, she finally understood why Professor Charles would call him a doctor, who could treat mental trauma, which even Charles couldn't do.
With that, the Demonic Girl walked out of Ling Xiao's tent quickly, but as soon as she took a step, she reverted to Jenny's appearance.
Ling Xiao sat cross-legged on the ground and smiled slightly, and the next moment he regained his composure and began to breathe into the crescent moon above his head.
Over the night, Jean and Stormgirl had repaired the stealth plane and made some upgrades to it.
Although the current stealth plane can avoid most radar detections, it is difficult for the most advanced radar systems in the US government to avoid his detection, as last night's World War I said.
Ling Xiao looked at Magneto, who was sitting with the Demon Girl and whispered, looking at his already somewhat radiant face, Ling Xiao knew that Magneto had already taken the Ning Shen Pill he gave to the Demon Girl.
Sensing Ling Xiao's gaze, Magneto nodded lightly at Ling Xiao and continued to talk to the Demon Shape.
Because of Magneto's special abilities, the rest of the cabin couldn't hear what the two of them were talking about.
"You'd better stay away from him." Qin didn't know when, but came behind Ling Xiao and warned him in a low voice.
Compared to Professor Charles's means of being able to infiltrate people's hearts without knowing it, Qin is still far away, and she must be in close contact with people before she can use her mental power to read the memories of others and manipulate them.
Avoiding physical contact with Qin without a trace, Ling Xiao asked in a voice so low that only two people could hear it, "How is your situation, does Ning Shendan still have stock?" ”
"There are a few more, but not much." Qin looked at Ling Xiao, took a deep breath, and said, "I really have to thank you, thank you." If it weren't for this elixir of yours, I would probably have to spend a lot of energy trying to control that power, especially after Professor Charles' disappearance. ”
"Wait until the matter is over, I will refine another furnace of pills, I hope it can help you." Ling Xiao nodded at Qin, Ling Xiao also had a considerable understanding of his situation, as the embodiment of the power of the cosmic phoenix on Earth, Qin had great potential and was an omega-level mutant.
In order to help her control her powers, Professor Charles created a Guardian Shield in Jean's spirit to prevent her from using her powerful psychic powers until Jean was able to control herself.
The Ning Shen Pill that Ling Xiao had refined was for his own cultivation on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was also to help Qin Gray control his abilities.
Professor Charles was able to connect with the minds of everyone in the world through the brainwave amplifier, detect their location, and even secretly observe their behavior, which made him discover it when Ling Xiao successfully practiced the pill for the first time.
Especially after Ling Xiao took this elixir, the impact on the spiritual level made Charles even more impressed, and he couldn't help but contact Ling Xiao out loud.
Compared with other Americans, Charles, who has traveled in the Oriental land for many years, has a clear and correct understanding of Ling Xiao's cultivation methods, especially since Ling Xiao is also a mutant with special abilities.
Charles tried to convince Ling Xiao to join the mutant academy he founded, but Ling Xiao decisively refused, and only agreed to provide Charles with a regular Ning Shen Pill to help Qin control his abilities, of course, in exchange for precious diamonds. At the same time, he also asked Charles to promise not to peep at him again, which was extremely disgusting in Ling Xiao's opinion.
In front of Professor Charles, the only secret that Ling Xiao can keep is his own list of gods and demons and the secret that he is a traverser, once he enters the mutant academy, under close contact, it is difficult for Ling Xiao to ensure that his secret will not be discovered by Professor Charles.
Although Professor Charles has the ability to communicate with others from a distance, he is not able to sneak into the minds of others and read memories thousands of kilometers away.
Even so, Ling Xiao was very careful in his daily actions, he didn't want the most secret things in his heart to be known to Professor Charles, and even the gossip circle arranged in Ling's pharmacy was to avoid Professor Charles's peeping.
With the God and Demon List as the core of the circle, it is not difficult to do this.
"Be careful this time." Ling Xiao looked at the piano in front of him and said in a low voice: "I feel that this trip to Lake Yakali in Canada will be very dangerous, you have to be more careful, especially Magneto, be careful that they put you together at the last moment." ”
"You guys." Qin glanced at Ling Xiao deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Ling, in fact, we are all the same kind of people. ”
"Perhaps." Ling Xiao didn't answer Qin's question directly, he just smiled lightly, and his eyes fell on Jenny who walked over.
Seeing Jenny approaching, Jean took a deep breath, glanced at Magneto, who was sitting in the back of the cabin, and took Ling Xiao's warning to heart. However, even if Ling Xiao didn't mention it, they wouldn't let down their guard against Magneto, the enemy of many years.
Jenny walked to Ling Xiao's side, looked at Qin who walked back to the cabin, and asked curiously, "What are you talking about, didn't you say that you didn't know Qin before?" ”
"We really didn't know each other before." Ling Xiao smiled lightly, reached out to wrap his arms around Jenny's thin waist, and whispered, "But we have a common acquaintance, although I don't have a good impression of Charles's voyeur." ”
"Don't say that, Professor." Jenny squirmed a little uncomfortably, to be honest, she was still not used to being so close to Ling Xiao in front of people.
