Ling Luo said, "Oh, a few days ago Gu Qing ordered a hundred mechs from me. I made a few samples a few days ago and just delivered them to him. When they arrived, I found that he was accompanied by two experts."

"You know one of them, he's Principal Wang from our school, and the other one is the level nine expert I just fought with."

Speaking of which...

She felt something was off.

Why didn't you ask me whether I won or lost?

If others heard that she was fighting with a level nine master, they would probably be most concerned about who would win or lose, right?

As soon as I asked the question, I noticed something was off about his smile: "What are you laughing at?"

Ye Xingxue coughed lightly, concealing the barely suppressed smile in her eyes, and shook her head: "It's nothing."

As he spoke, he bent down and kissed her: "Luo Luo is so amazing, and she's so happy after the fight, of course Luo Luo won."

Even if she performed exceptionally well in the joint entrance exam, outsiders would certainly not believe her if she said she defeated a level nine expert.

Because there are just too few level nine experts.

But she could purify the flesh of strange beasts using incredible methods, refine elixirs with astonishing effects, and even suddenly appear before him out of thin air—

In their world, no one can currently do these things.

But she did it.

Therefore, it's not so surprising that she was able to defeat their strongest level nine expert at such a young age.

Ling Luo was delighted that he trusted her abilities so much: "Yeah! But even if I lose, I'm still happy to fight against a strong person!"

Ye Xingxue smiled and nodded: "I know."

This can be seen from the students she taught, such as Bai Ying.

"But when I saw Luo Luo's smile, I knew we had won."

"Um!"

At this point, Ye Xingxue looked at her and suddenly smiled, saying, "Luo Luo, you just said that I know one of these two experts, but that's not quite right."

Ling Luo looked up, puzzled: "Hmm?"

Ye Xingxue bent down and kissed her: "If nothing unexpected happens, I also know the other one."

Ling Luo stopped in her tracks: "Could it be... that the other one is also your teacher?"

Ye Xingxue shook her head: "No."

Ling Luo breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could speak, Ye Xingxue asked with a smile, "Luo Luo, the ninth-level expert you just fought, his surname is Ye, right?"

From the moment she mentioned that she was fighting a level nine master, he began to suspect that her opponent might just be his maternal grandfather, Ye Zhenyan.

After all, their empire only has a handful of level nine experts.

It started when she mentioned that Gu Qing had ordered a hundred mechs from her.

He had already determined that the other person was his maternal grandfather, Ye Zhenyan.

His guess was not based on the fact that Ye Zhenyan had returned from the military.

In fact, no one knows that he and Wang Honghai have returned so far.

In other words, they returned secretly.

The reason he guessed it was his maternal grandfather, Ye Zhenyan, was because his maternal grandfather was the chief mecha master of the military.

The military's order for one hundred mechs from unidentified individuals is likely a trial run.

Large-volume orders will only be placed after confirming the other party's trustworthiness.

Wang Honghai's personal intervention was not only to intimidate the other party, but also to demonstrate his sincerity in cooperating.

Besides the two reasons mentioned above, his grandfather's main concern was detecting whether the mecha contained any conspiracy or traps...

"Um."

"Does Luo Luo know why Ye Zeru calls me cousin?"

"Because he's your relative, your cousin—"

At this point, she suddenly realized that the level nine expert she had just fought seemed to have the surname Ye, because Gu Qing seemed to call him Master Ye...

"You mean, you, you and that Master Ye... are related?"

Ye Xingxue smiled and kissed her again: "Luo Luo got it right, you're very smart. Now, Luo Luo, would you like to guess what kind of relatives we are?"

Ling Luo looked at him, her heart pounding: "Could it be... that he's your maternal grandfather?"

Ye Xingxue laughed: "Yes, Luo Luo is indeed clever."

Ling Luo was praised this time, but she couldn't be happy.

She buried her head in his chest and refused to look up.

Ye Xingxue reached out and gently hugged her, laughing out loud: "Is Luo Luo shy?"

Ling Luo's muffled voice came from his chest: "No..."

Ye Xingxue picked her up and kissed her on the cheek: "Didn't Luo Luo disguise herself as a boy? As long as I don't say anything, they won't guess it's you."

"Moreover, even if Grandpa knew it was you, he wouldn't be angry. He would just think that the younger generation is formidable and would be very happy instead."

Ling Luo still didn't want to talk.

I'm mentally exhausted.

Wang Honghai was her teacher.

Therefore, she deliberately avoided Wang Honghai and found a stranger to fight with.

Unexpectedly...

Thinking of this, she covered her face, pushed him away, and suddenly broke free from his embrace: "I... I'm going out to buy materials to build the mecha, I'll be very busy—"

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Xingxue pulled her back into her arms.

"With so many materials, isn't it troublesome for Luo Luo to buy them herself?"

Ling Luo: "..."

Dislike.

but--

"Lingluo, write down what you want to buy, and I'll find someone to buy it for you, okay?" Ye Xingxue kissed her little nose: "Don't worry, Luoluo, I know you're very busy, so just write it down and send it to me."

Ling Luo: "Oh..."

I'm a little tempted...

Her blushing face was so beautiful that Ye Xingxue couldn't get enough of looking at her. He couldn't resist kissing her cheek again: "So, Luo Luo, are you going back to get busy now? Aren't you going to eat?"

Ling Luo: "Eat..."

"Then when the food is ready, shall I call you Luo Luo?"

"……Um."

Ye Xingxue laughed and released her.

Ling Luo disappeared into the corridor with a "whoosh" and went into their room.

Night Snow smiled.

Before his smile faded, his personal terminal beeped.

The person who contacted him was his maternal grandfather, Ye Zhenyan.
