After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me-Chapter 1212: The New Generation Surpasses the Old

Her sadness came on suddenly and intensely, leaving everyone around her at a loss for what to do.

Especially Fang Zichong, who had no idea what he'd said wrong to make the young girl so upset.

She had taken them all down by herself, so logically, they should be the ones crying. Why was she crying?

It was so confusing—was it really that hard to understand a girl's feelings?

Xi Mo, on the other hand, understood perfectly. He couldn't help but find it a little amusing. He patted Zhouzhou's head and said, "Alright, stop crying. Worst case, you can just use your talisman, right? Doesn't it make you shoot up in height instantly? You can grow as tall as you want, even tall enough to get oxygen deprivation."

Although he said this, the effect of the talisman didn't last long. Once its magic wore off, she would still be the same Zhouzhou, standing at 1.67 meters.

At this moment, someone, seeing how badly she was crying, offered a suggestion. "You could try going south—travel far, maybe change the environment. That might help you grow taller. It worked for me."

As soon as the person spoke, Xi Mo's sharp gaze locked onto them.

He quickly covered Zhouzhou's ears, warning, "Don't believe that nonsense. If southern water and soil could help people grow taller, they wouldn't be calling people from the south 'little potatoes'."

What was this talk of "going far"? Zhouzhou had already been busy with missions and studies, leaving little time to spend with them. If she went further away, what would they do?

He glanced at the speaker and said with a hint of menace, "You should be thankful that Ye Lingfeng and Qin Lie aren't here."

If they were, they'd have dealt with this person by now. Those two practically wished Zhouzhou could shrink so they could carry her around in their pockets. She was already studying at A University, and Grandma Qin was so emotional just thinking about her living on campus—imagine how upset she would be if Zhouzhou moved away!

The speaker instinctively shrank back, hearing Xi Mo's words.

Zhouzhou, still fuming, glared at him, annoyed at his suggestion. "From now on, you're all training under me," she declared.

At her fierce expression, everyone instinctively shivered, sensing an ominous premonition. They just knew the coming days were going to be miserable.

Help!

Xi Mo, however, was enjoying the scene. He patted Zhouzhou's shoulder and encouraged her, "Go for it."

It was time to teach them a lesson, make them understand that there were always people stronger than them. After all, Zhouzhou's skills were impressive, and if she pushed them harder, they wouldn't be caught off guard in the upcoming competition.

Getting a few bruises from her was better than losing a life.

He certainly didn't trust that the others would be kind during the competition. Yes, it wasn't a life-or-death situation, but a broken arm or leg? That was still career-ending. It was almost as bad as losing a life.

Xi Mo genuinely hoped they could get stronger.

Zhouzhou shot him a glance and added, "You too, Uncle."

She hadn't forgotten how he'd laughed at her earlier.

Seeing her determination, Xi Mo raised an eyebrow, unable to hold back a smile. "You really are petty. You're not just small-minded, you're downright petty."

Zhouzhou huffed and placed her hands on her hips, proudly defending, "I'm doing this for your own good."

"Alright, shut up. I don't even need to hear it," Xi Mo said with a smirk.

Maybe she did want him to get stronger, but she definitely wanted to tease him as well.

After a brief thought, he threw his hat aside. "Alright then, it's been a while since we've fought. Let's see what you've got now."

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou's eyes lit up with excitement. "I'm going all out!"

"Of course," Xi Mo nodded slightly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhouzhou's fist came flying toward him.

Though her hands looked soft and delicate, Xi Mo knew from experience, especially when she was younger, that her punches could pack a punch. And now? She was even stronger.

Xi Mo didn't take the blow head-on. Instead, he dodged to avoid a punch that could send someone flying into a wall, then quickly countered with his own strike.

Zhouzhou was quick to react, blocking his attack almost immediately.

Their movements were so fast that no one could clearly follow them, only seeing two blurred afterimages.

But it was clear to everyone that Xi Mo didn't have the upper hand. In fact, he seemed to be slightly on the defensive.

Everyone was stunned. They stared wide-eyed, even more shocked than when Zhouzhou had single-handedly defeated all of them earlier.

This was Xi Mo, after all!

To many of them, Xi Mo was a god-like figure, much like Ye Lingfeng. Yet now, he was being outmatched by a young girl?

Could it be that they were seeing things?

For a moment, they all stared in disbelief. The only person who seemed satisfied with the scene was Army Commander, who watched with a knowing smile.

As expected, the girl's growth rate was incredibly fast.

She had great natural talent, and though her legs were still short, they no longer posed a significant limitation. With the experience she'd accumulated from her missions, she was now more formidable than ever.

She was only 17 this year, and the next decade? It was going to be her time.

Army Commander could already envision her leading them to greater heights, and he couldn't help but smile with pride.

Her journey hadn't been easy, though. Talent played a huge role, but they had all witnessed the amount of hard work she'd put in.

She could be a bit cheeky at times, but when it came down to it, she was serious and determined.

Watching her grow up had been a blessing.

He nodded silently to himself. He didn't doubt that, before long, Ye Lingfeng would retire, and Zhouzhou would be more than capable of taking his place.

Of course, the transition from leading a team to heading the Fourth Bureau was a whole different ball game. She would face even greater challenges.

But this was inevitable. Even if they were reluctant now, they would one day have to face the fact that Zhouzhou was destined for greatness.

Zhouzhou was a force to be reckoned with.

If only she were one of their own.

Commander couldn't help but think this with a smile.

Just as he was lost in these thoughts, a loud gasp interrupted him.

It was Zhouzhou defeating Xi Mo.

Fang Zichong and the others were stunned, their eyes wide open as if they had seen the sun rise in the west.

Xi Mo remained calm, taking a deep breath to steady himself. Looking at Zhouzhou with approval, he said, "Not bad, you're getting better."

He was genuinely impressed.

With her current abilities, there were very few people who could harm her now.

That was a relief. At least they didn't have to worry about her being bullied when she went out.

Though, that had never really been a concern. Anyone who dared to bully her had probably already ended up in a bind.

Thinking about her past exploits, Xi Mo couldn't help but smile to himself.

Zhouzhou, seeing him smile after losing, thought he must have gone a little crazy. She stood on her tiptoes, patted his shoulder, and comforted him, "Don't be sad, Uncle. It's natural for the new generation to surpass the old. It's totally normal that I beat you."

Xi Mo: "..."

She was perfect in many ways, except for that mouth!
