Chapter 101
From a young age, Marshal Lu Bo Ting was more stable than other children, especially when he grew up. They did not need to worry about anything.
Old Marshal Lu could give him a few pointers once in a while, but Mrs. Lu could only take care of the welfare.
It was a rare opportunity to laugh at her son.
âWhat a surprise!â She said to the old Marshal, âOur son is better than others in everything, but heâs really â¦â¦ bad at relationships.â
Lu Bo Ting, who was already far away, could still hear the conversation because of his good hearing.
He even heard the crisp laughter of Shi Nian upstairs.
After his mental power had increased, his five senses were even greater than before. He would never have been able to hear this before.
When he reached the first floor, he saw that the door to Shi Nianâs room was open, and was stunned.
The latter was standing at the door, his quantum beast flying beside him. When it saw him, it flew over in a habitual manner.
Lu Bo Ting raised his hand to stroke it, but then thought that if their relationship was still in the unknown, it would be a bit too pro-active, so he stopped there.
But Shi Nian was not so embarrassed, and made the little phoenix crouch directly on his shoulder.
He asked, âIâve thought about it for a while. Given your character, you couldnât have thought of such a way out on your own. Tell me, who gave you the idea. â
Mrs. Lu was not the only one who wanted to know how Lu Bo Ting came up with such a stupid idea, Shi Nian was also curious.
ââ¦â¦â
Lu Bo Ting really didnât want to say anything, but seeing Shi Nianâs curious face, he answered.
I asked my cousin what to do if I broke a contract. He probably thought it was a serious matter and told me to ask the legal department or to check the consequences of breaking the contract first. â
Shi Nian: ââ¦â¦â
Lu Bo Ting: ââ¦â¦â
After a short silence, Shi Nian let out a burst of laughter.
Even a man like Lu Bo Ting could not have expected to dig such a trap for himself. He probably did not realize that this day would come!
Shi Nian remembered the day when the two sides met for the first time to sign the contract. The other party suddenly became serious when he heard his question about adoption.
Tsk tsk, Marshal Lu probably never imagined he would have this day!
Lu Bo Ting; ââ¦.â
Laugh it up. He no longer has much status in this family anyway.
âFortunately, fortunately!â Shi Nian laughed and didnât forget to say: âFortunately, when your mother asked just now, you didnât mention your cousin. Otherwise, you would have pitted him. Ah, Iâm laughing my ass off. â
ââ¦â¦â Lu Bo Ting said helplessly, âDonât laugh, I know. Forget it, just give me back my money! â
What?
Shi Nianâs eyes widened suddenly, â You gave me the money and now you want it back? What are you thinking about? This is evidence of your breach of contract. Donât try to get away with it. â
Marshal Lu looked at him, at a loss as to what to do.
He didnât care about the money, but it was so stupid that everyone laughedâ¦
Shi Nian looked at his expression, but he wasnât embarrassed at all. Instead, he turned on his light brain and took a picture.
Itâs rare to see such an expression on Marshal Luâs face, so he had to keep a souvenir!
After getting a souvenir, Shi Nian turned around and closed the door.
He didnât forget to leave a sentence, âRemember to go to bed early. You should get enough rest. The quantum beast is reserved for you. After all, three million coins a month should not be spent in vain.â
Lu Bo Ting: ââ¦â¦â
Lu Bo Ting raised his hand and stroked his forehead. He felt that he knew Shi Nian, and he could also guess one or two of the other partyâs behaviors.
However, when it came to relationships, he was still perplexed.
What exactly was Shi Nian thinking?
It was clear that they had always gotten along well, but now he was talking about three million coins.
The canary next to him was looking at him with a tilted head, as if it didnât understand what was bothering him at all. When those eyes looked over, he seemed to be asking:Â âWhy arenât you leaving, standing guard at the door?â
Lu Bo Ting: ââ¦â¦â
The marshal could only go along with the original plan to continue the study.
In the past, Shi Nian was quite careful in this area. After all, the study, especially the marshalâs study, is full of secrets.
But now itâs different. He had been directly involved when Lu Bo Ting was in a coma. So he wasnât afraid of accidentally knowing something he shouldnât.
In the end, he didnât go out of the study and sat on the top of the personâs head.
He told himself: âThis is the closest to the spiritual sea, so it works best.â
Lu Bo Ting had nothing to hide from him, and he took care of some business that needed to be done.
Shi Nian could see clearly from the position of the little phoenix. He could also see Lu Bo Tingâs usual habits. It was not the same as him, no wonder the Wu family realised that it couldnât be Lu Bo Ting in charge some time ago.
It was impossible for Marshal Lu to be ignorant of conspiracies and tricks, but perhaps because of his upbringing and his personality, he was more open and honest in his approach to things.
Shi Nian was not so much a tactician as he was a trickster.
He was full of tricks, such as when he destroyed the Tsunami Star Piratesâ mark and signed his own name when the Wu family made a move for the first time.
If it were Lu Bo Ting, he would not have thought of such a trick.
Perhaps it was because Shi Nian had met so many scumbags since he was a child that he found he had a preference for people with such high moral character.
He flew down from the top of Lu Bo Tingâs head, circled the room, and found a place to crouch on the table.
Not to mention that, after looking at him, he did look quite good for a human.
Although he doesnât have those gorgeous or fancy feathers, his hair is quite suitable for nesting.
Shi Nian murmured and thought, âNo wonder the relationship between them seemed to have crossed the line without him realizing it.â
He hadnât thought about this aspect before, but he was reminded of it because of the rumor that recently broke out. It really wasâ¦
For starters, heâs not that nice. If it wasnât Lu Bo Tingâs dragon that was pestering him, he would have found other ways to get rid of it, and wouldnât have let someone elseâs quantum beast haunt him.
There was also fan fiction on the forum. He may not have been able to tolerate or read them if it was a CP with another person.
If he thinks about it further, there are, in fact, many other signs.
The last time they talked about meeting the parents in class, he got a momentary suspicion, but denied it.
such a good boss.
Who could not fall in love him?
When he saw that Lu Bo Ting was looking at him instead of working, he pecked the table with his beak and reminded him.
What are you looking at? Get to work and rest when youâre done.
Lu Bo Ting withdrew his gaze, but he was just a little confused.
For a moment, he seemed to see that the little canary had changed its appearance. The size of the canary was much bigger than what he usually sees.
But when he looked more closely, it looked the same again.
Was it a blur?
Lu Bo Ting was deep in thought and got a couple of pecks, so he had to get back to work.
During the day, Shi Nian continued to go to school.
There were two physical fitness classes today, and the students were all wailing.
âCome on, letâs go!â one of them said, âIf we suffer now, weâll lose fewer people at the competition. I donât know whose idea this was, but whatâs the point of involving us in this kind of thing? Weâre not even ordinary back-ups, we canât even go to the battlefield. â
If a time came for them to need to escape or fight, it would mean the fall of laboratories and that the main star was in crisis.
âI heard that they wanted to practice the protective abilities of sentinelsâ¦..ââ
Then let them use two robots. Iâm so miserable. I donât want to run anymore. Iâm tired, I donât want to enter that competition as a vase.â
âWho wants to?â
After speaking, several people looked at Shi Nian, who was walking in front. Well, there is one person who doesnât care.
âA person like Shi Nian really makes people jealous and envious.â
âHeâs not a normal guide, thatâs what.â
The class was in agony, but they were fine.
This little exercise was like a piece of cake to Shi Nian. Long before his body became one with the phoenix, he had already started carrying weights when he ran at home, let alone now.
When Lu Bo Ting woke up, he naturally re-joined training with Zhang Jing Kai and his team to work on tacit understanding and other things.
As time progressed, the training sessions became more demanding.
Zhou Xinyun was so tired at the end of each session that he had to be dragged back to the dormitory by Shi Nian.
Meanwhile, he had no burden from training and flew back home in his flying machine, occasionally dragging Lu Bo Ting along for a game or two.
With his higher mental power, Lu Bo Tingâs operation on the mecha were naturally a step higher, and the level of precision was different.
Shi Nian had always thought he had done a good job, but in fact, it was only when he stood higher that he realized that it was far from being good.
At that time, the data of the Phoenix mecha had also been imported, and the two were driving evenly matched mechas, making the fight inseparable.
After the fight, they even had a late dinner together.
Shi Nian habitually took meat from Lu Bo Tingâs bowl, while the latter didnât move and let him pick first.
This pattern of getting along with each other was not any different from before.
Lu Bo Ting at times wondered if it had really happened that he had been put into a coma, that the quantum beast had stalked Shi Nian, that his feelings had been revealed, and that he had been laughed at for breaking his contract.
How in the world did Shi Nian manage to act as if nothing had happened?
But anyway, with such an attitude, Lu Bo Ting himself could not feel any embarrassment.
He occasionally wanted to ask, â what are we doing now?â, but when he looked at the simple, confused eyes on the other side, he held back.
Forget it, heâs still in school. Theyâll talk about it when he graduates!
Thatâs when people from the Federation came.
The people who came were from the Yan family and said they wanted to exchange ideas.
The person they met with was councilor Wu, and the two sides discussed and settled the matter.
Shi Nian: âThey must have some bad intentions.â
Xue Chi said, âThatâs what Iâm thinking too.â
Can anyone who has anything to do with the Wu family have good intentions?
But for the time being, they had nothing to do with them. Shi Nian continued to go to school, and Lu Bo Ting and Xue Chi went about their business as usual.
The welcome and reception were all matters for the Wu family, and there was no need for them to attend the subsequent discussions.
However, this was a big deal, and the scene of them disembarking from the airship was soon filmed and interviewed by journalists.
There was some interest in this kind of thing, but not too much. After all, such visits were not uncommon in times of peace between the two countries. Even some people who donât follow political news were not aware of it.
Not many people in the class discussed it either.
On the other hand, Yan Huaxin was worthy of being the king of gossip and a social expert who followed everything.
Maybe itâs because of the Wu family. People from the Yan family are always radical when they hear the word Wu, not to mention the fact that the Wu family made this trip possible.
âI thought it was a business trip, but why did they bring a 28-year-old girl with them?â
Although he was a bit petulant because of his health, Yan Huaxinâs personality was undoubtedly good.
There were not many people in the class or even in the school who had problems with him, but most of them could be said to have met him or talked to him.
He always spoke in an amiable manner, and was rarely critical.
When Shi Nian heard the barb in his words, he knew that the Yan family must be repulsed by those of the same surname as him (Yan and Yan).
The one from the Yan family was obviously not 28 years old, but was not much older than the original owner, who was 20 years old today.
It is said that she had never been to the main star of the empire, so she had taken time off work to come here.
This was a matter for the Federation. If they didnât mind bringing a young lady with them on their visits, how could the Empire not allow her to come along?
âI heard that she is called Yan Nuo.â He said, âI heard Xue Chi talk about it yesterday.â
But Adjutant Xueâs original words were: âThe youngest lady of the Yan family is here too. Thatâs Yan Nuo.â Glancing at him with a trace as he said that.
It was odd.
He switched on his light brain and looked at the news on Starnet. There were a dozen people in the Federation party, and Yan Nuo was with her father. The two of them were walking in the middle, surrounded by the rest.
The girl was a good-looking girl, with an arrogant face. She didnât panic when she saw the camera and even greeted them.
Two classmates were also paying attention to this matter and boasted: âThis Miss Yan is quite good-looking!â
âWhat a bitch.â Yan Huaxin said immediately.
Classmates: ââ¦â¦â
âAre you hating on the Wu and Yan or just her?â
âWell, she looks pretentious.â Shi Nian said.
Although he didnât see any bit of âbitchâ, he probably encountered too many dangers, and he always had a good instinct about whether a person was a good person or not.
Yan Huaxin had already said, âHow can I be that irrational? Iâve seen a lot of people like her. They pretend to be innocent and naive, but behind the scenes theyâre really bad.â
Okay!
âBut it doesnât matter if sheâs bad or not, we wonât even get to see it.â
Just as they were talking, there was a short interview with the people who had come to visit. The other people were naturally talking about business matters, but when it came to Miss Yan, she opened her mouth and said.
âI came here because of your Marshal Lu, whom I have admired and loved since I was a child. I hope to be with him one day.â
âI participated in a federal experiment for him and now carry the mermaid gene in my body. The singing has a very powerful effect on the spiritual sea.â
The reporter froze for a moment before saying, âPerhaps you didnât know that Marshal Lu already has a boyfriend and has the consent of his family.â
âI know, the Federationâs on Starnet too.â Yan Nuo said proudly, âBut Iâve seen him, and heâs far worse, in terms of both family background and mental power.â
âCan a D-class spiritual guide help Marshal Lu sooth his spiritual sea?â
âEveryone knows that spiritual comforting and soothing agents work best when used together.â
The crowd: ââ¦â¦â
The students couldnât help but look at Yan Huaxin in unison and give him a big finger, âBrother Yan, you have a crow mouth.â
This is really a bitch. Itâs a live interview and she dares to straight out say such things about their brother Shi. Doesnât she care about losing face?
No, she probably did not think anything of it, but she still looks complacent and proud of herself.
âAre all the people in the federation so shameless?â
âThis is the first time Iâve seen such arrogance in being a mistress.â
Not only were they dumbfounded, but people on Starnet were also confused by the remarks.
Many of the face-cons, who at first complimented her on her beauty, were now deleting their comments. What kind of dumbass is this? Canât you be good-looking and have a brain?
Others were shocked and said,
âI almost forgot that Shi Nian is only a D-ranked mental power, Iâm not a qualified black fan.â
The black fans had forgotten, and not many fans remembered, let alone passers-by.
âAfter all, with his appearance and achievements, he doesnât look like a guide with such low mental power!â
There are even posts often saying: âI just learned that the mental power of Shi Nian was only D-level. Is this true?â
However in the end, knowing is knowing. This thing has never been a secret. Black fans could not even throw powder with this.
But now it was being brought up by a federal, wannabe mistress, and everyone was going crazy.
âI donât know what youâve accomplished, but tell me!â
âOf course, there are achievements. Iâve been an experiment in the Federation, you know! â
âHa ha ha, one is an experimenter, the other is an experiment project. PS: Of course, Iâm not laughing at those who volunteered to be the first experimenters, and Iâm very grateful for their selflessness. Iâm just mocking this trash alone who looks down on people and wants to be a mistress because she has the âmermaid gene.â
âTrash! This time the Yan family led the team on to visit. Wouldnât it be because their daughter couldnât get married and they now came to our empire? That would be shameless.â
Yan Nuo was so proud of herself that she didnât even notice the change in the reporterâs face and gaze.
It was not until she returned to the residence she had arranged with the Empire that she turned on her light brain and connected to Starnet. That was when she saw what was being said online.
She was instantly confused: âHow is it possible that Shi Nian only researched a few bottles of potions and he has so many blackâ¦.â
Where are the black fans?
Why not just mention that his mental power is not high enough for Lu Bo Ting.
Are all those black fans fake?
