Chapter 469 Sentinel to the World: The Delicate and Useless Guide VS The Cunning and Super-Powerful
Su Jinyue sighed, saying that if the people present hadn't already known Xia Qingqian's true colors, they might have actually been fooled by her performance.
No wonder he's a top-tier mission taker who's been through so many dimensions!
It can only be said that first impressions are very important. When Nangong Mingheng and the other two were in the grove, they had already formed a preliminary impression of Xia Qingqian, which was not a very good one.
Therefore, when Xia Qingqian suddenly appeared to offer them psychological counseling during this Zerg attack, Nangong Mingheng and the others' first reaction was to be on guard, rather than to accept it.
Another point is that, thanks to Su Jinyue's involvement in this Zerg attack, Nangong Mingheng and the other two were not seriously injured, so there was no need for on-site psychological counseling.
Su Jinyue felt that Kongkong's premature absorption of the charm aura's energy, rendering it ineffective, was one of the reasons for Xia Qingqian's failure.
Xie Linchuan had seen Xia Qingqian once at the Su family's door. Although Xia Qingqian wasn't the main character that time, he knew about her because it involved Su Jinyue.
Although he didn't know why Xia Qingqian was here, Xie Linchuan understood that she was not well-liked, given the attitudes of Su Jinyue and Nangong Mingheng towards her.
"Mingheng, the three of you just fought against the new type of Zerg. Were your mental bodies affected by the Zerg's mental attacks? If your mental bodies are contaminated, Jinyue can check on you first."
Xie Linchuan's thinking was simple: Xia Qingqian was determined to provide mental support to Nangong Mingheng and others, but this was not something that only she could do.
Su Jinyue had already revealed her guide abilities during the Zerg attack. Since she couldn't hide them anymore, she might as well be more open about it. With him and Prince Nangong Mingheng there, Su Jinyue was only a second-stage mutation of her spiritual body, so they could protect her.
But to everyone's surprise, as soon as Xie Linchuan finished speaking, Xia Qingqian subconsciously retorted, "How could Su Jinyue do that?"
Realizing that her rebuttal was too blunt, Xia Qingqian quickly explained, "What I mean is that Su Jinyue's mental strength level is only F level. The difference between her mental strength level and Senior Nangong's is too great. Her mental guidance has no effect on Senior Nangong at all."
"Su Jinyue, don't be so stubborn. Senior Nangong is an S-rank Sentinel; for mental guidance, it's more appropriate for me, an S-rank Guide, to handle it."
As soon as Xia Qingqian said this, everyone looked at her with strange eyes, which Xia Qingqian found somewhat puzzling.
"What's wrong? Am I wrong?"
During the Zerg attack, Xia Qingqian hid in a corner to protect herself and never saw the full picture of the battlefield.
However, Nangong Mingheng and the other two were eyewitnesses to the Zerg attack. Su Jinyue's spiritual entity, the Wutong tree, was so conspicuous and was wandering around the battlefield that it was hard for them not to know about it.
Moreover, judging from the size of the sycamore tree and the time it appeared, one can tell that Su Jinyue's guide level is definitely not the rumored F level.
Although Xia Qingqian saw the paulownia tree, she didn't associate it with Su Jinyue at all.
Xia Qingqian saw that the spiritual entity, the Wutong Tree, was helping the low-level sentinels. She even mocked it in her heart, thinking, "What's the use of helping those low-level sentinels? It won't help the guides' future development at all."
But the guide under the sycamore tree didn't help Nangong Mingheng and his companions any better, so she seized the opportunity to win their favor.
Su Jinyue smiled: "Xia Qingqian is really confident. But how do you know I'm definitely worse than you?"
"Su Jinyue, stop being stubborn. Everyone knows about your spiritual body. Otherwise, why would you have chosen the plant-based system instead of the guide-based system?"
Su Jinyue remained noncommittal: "Whether I'm just putting on a brave face or not, we'll find out after the competition."
There are quite a few sentinels here with injured mental entities. How about we each choose one sentinel to provide mental support? Whoever has the best healing effect can then treat Senior Nangong and the others. What do you say?
Xia Qingqian's eyes flickered: "Such a big matter, you can decide it all by yourself? How could someone as noble as Senior Nangong possibly listen to you?"
Xia Qingqian did not mind comparing herself to Su Jinyue. Su Jinyue was just a useless F-level guide. Comparing herself to her would only be humiliating. How could she not grant her wish?
What she cared about was whether she could treat Nangong Mingheng, Chu Guanzhong, and Song Shucheng if she won against Su Jinyue.
Su Jinyue turned to look at Xie Linchuan, and Xie Linchuan understood what Su Jinyue meant.
"I can guarantee that whoever wins will provide psychological counseling for the three of you, including Nangong."
Xie Linchuan is Nangong Mingheng's cousin. Since his cousin has said so, none of Nangong Mingheng and the others have any objections.
Although he didn't know what Su Jinyue wanted to do, Xie Linchuan could still do something as simple as this.
Moreover, given Su Jinyue's abilities, Xie Linchuan knew she wouldn't lose, so he decided to let her play.
Once the agreement was reached, Xie Linchuan had his men bring over two sentinels whose minds had been corrupted during the battle. The two sentinels were of the same level and were both on the verge of mental berserk.
To ensure fairness, Xie Linchuan let Xia Qingqian choose first.
Xia Qingqian randomly chose one. She wasn't an S-level guide, and her healing methods all relied on the items from the Quick Transmigration System 233.
With her charm, the illusion of a nine-tailed fox, and healing items, Xia Qingqian could guarantee that she wouldn't be exposed at all.
Of course, to maintain her high-class image, Xia Qingqian rarely provides mental counseling to people after discovering her S-level guide talent.
Now it's time to show off, Xia Qingqian feels this is her moment of glory.
However, things backfired.
Xia Qingqian struck a very stylish pose, but the nine-tailed fox had just appeared and before she could take the next step, the illusion of the nine-tailed fox suddenly disappeared.
Xia Qingqian smiled awkwardly, then anxiously called out to the Quick Transmigration System in her mind 233.
"233, what's going on? Why isn't the Nine-Tailed Fox's illusion item working? Didn't the main system just replace it for me?"
After quite a while, the Quick Transmigration System 233 slowly replied to Xia Qingqian.
[Host, I don't know what happened either. The Nine-Tailed Fox illusion item stopped working, and I just checked all the items returned by the main system, and they're all invalid! ...]
Xia Qingqian couldn't accept this devastating news. She was undergoing treatment right now; how could the props have malfunctioned?!
"233, this has happened twice already, and you still don't know where the problem lies?"
I'm currently working on a strategy quest, so you absolutely can't let me down!
233: [Host, I might really have a problem. The key is that the self-checking system can't find out where the problem is.]
The current situation can only be resolved by the host himself. I can appeal to the main system again, but waiting for the main system's response will take time...
