Chapter 87

In the tall tower of the portable armory system, there are two places that are particularly special. One of them is the prison cell that was once used in the Armory World to detain Volpe and Brian. Living people or animals can be placed inside, but only under complete suppression. After entering the cell, the prisoners are confined to individual cells and lose their original powers, unable to break free and leave on their own.

In addition to the prison, there is another even more special place, which is the guest room. Since there are prisoners, there are also guests. Living people or animals can be placed here under simpler conditions, as long as there is no violent resistance. Inside the guest room, the guests do not lose their original powers and can communicate with the host, which is He Ping, if they wish.

The prison and the guest room are essentially two separate spaces, or two different worlds, similar to the Armory World and other realms. However, these two spaces are not as large as others, and He Ping is almost like a god within these spaces. The time laws in these spaces are the same as in other spaces, and time continues to flow regardless of where He Ping is.

At this moment, He Ping stood in front of the door to the guest room in the tower. He extended his hand and slowly pushed open the door, then stepped inside. The guest room was not just a single room as the name suggests. Most of the things inside could be adjusted according to He Ping's wishes. Therefore, what appeared before He Ping was a villa built in a mountain basin. Although it looked no different from the ordinary world, even with day and night cycles, food and energy had to be supplied from the outside.

As He Ping entered the villa, a black streak flew toward him. He Ping gently tilted his head, and the black streak passed by his ear, lodging into the door frame with a thud. It was an arrow from a crossbow, the tip still trembling. In the next moment, a shadow darted out from He Ping's left side, and a cold gleam shot toward his neck at lightning speed. He Ping, still standing in place, quickly extended his left hand and caught the cold gleam between his index and middle fingers. It turned out to be a small dagger.

An assassination attempt as soon as he entered the guest room! What was going on? This was the guest room in the tower, his own private domain. How could there be an assassination attempt? Then, the answer was revealed. The one holding the dagger was a girl who looked to be about ten years old, with a shoulder-length hairstyle. The one who shot the arrow from the second-floor balcony of the villa was another girl with a similar appearance, but with a ponytail. These two were none other than the sisters Ye Nan and Ye Tong, whom He Ping had encountered before.

"Brother!" Ye Tong, who had put away her dagger, came forward and hugged He Ping's left arm, asking, "How was it? Did we improve today?"

And Ye Nan, who had just jumped down from the second-floor balcony, also hugged He Ping's right arm, not to be outdone, and said, "Brother, have you been a bit busy lately?"

Looking at the two girls, He Ping's gaze softened. Compared to when he first met them, the two girls were no longer as thin as before. After rescuing them, He Ping had arranged for them to stay in the guest room and bought many nutritional supplements to nourish their bodies. After these days of supplementation, they gradually regained the physique appropriate for their age, and their faces became more rosy.

The two sisters were now wearing sportswear, but it did not detract from their delicate features. Although they were not as beautiful as Zhao Yuke and Zhao Xiaoyue, they had already shown good potential. Perhaps due to their physical constitution, even when malnourished, their bodies were still in good shape. Now, with the supplementation, both of their heights had exceeded 1.6 meters, and their figures were even better than those of Zhao Yuke and Zhao Xiaoyue. Feeling the warmth and softness from both arms, He Ping seemed to be quite enjoying it.

Ye Tong, although a bit timid and reserved when she first met him, had gradually become more familiar with him over the past few days. Without the abuse from the Zhang couple and the young men, her naturally lively and active personality had gradually emerged, and her affection for He Ping was not hidden at all. Whenever she had the chance, she would run over and snuggle up to He Ping. Ye Nan, on the other hand, was more composed and reserved. She would only actively show affection to He Ping if Ye Tong initiated it first or if they were alone together.

"Very good, both of you. I didn't even notice your positions before you launched your attacks. Your auras were completely concealed, and the timing of your attacks was perfect. Keep it up. I've been busy with school lately and haven't visited you for some time. How have you been here?" He Ping led the two sisters into the villa, sat down in the living room, and gave a brief evaluation of their attacks.

After adjusting their bodies, He Ping began training them. The sisters had a natural talent for concealing their auras, something that most people find difficult to do. Li Yutang, for example, could also do it, but only after systematic training, and he still leaked a bit of killing intent during the attack. However, as a sniper, he usually attacked from a distance, so unless the enemy was very sensitive, they wouldn't easily notice it.

The sisters' talent for concealing their auras was even better than Li Yutang's after training. Even a skilled expert like He Ping couldn't react before the attack. Moreover, this was just the foundation. On top of that, Ye Nan had sharp observational skills, and Ye Tong had a flexible and agile body. These were all very strong talents, and with training, they would surely make significant progress.

Actually, such talents are quite common in children, but the dull education system gradually erodes them, eventually transforming all talents into reading and studying, turning everyone into similar individuals and smoothing out their unique traits. Therefore, He Ping did not intend to let Ye Nan and Ye Tong be overly consumed by their studies. Whether it was ordinary knowledge from school or combat skills, He Ping planned to teach them personally.

"In a few days, I have to go on a long trip. Although I can come back to see you whenever I want, the frequency of my visits might not be as high as it has been these past few days. During this time, don't slack off and practice what I've taught you. When I feel you are qualified, I'll take you out to play!"
