I came out of Yu Danqing's office.

As soon as Ye Xingxue boarded the aircraft, his personal computer beeped.

It was a call invitation from Ye Zhenyan.

"Grandpa."

"Um."

After Ye Zhenyan responded, he got straight to the point: "Is Luo Luo very busy? I've tried to contact her several times but haven't been able to."

"He must be very busy. What does Grandpa want with Luo Luo?"

Despite asking this question, Ye Xingxue knew that Ye Zhenyan and Ling Luo didn't have much interaction.

His search for Ling Luo could only be related to elixirs or mecha.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the latter is more likely.

Ye Zhenyan knew his grandson was smart enough. They had never talked about the mecha and pills that Ling Luo made, but they both knew the truth.

He said directly, "The military wants her to manufacture a batch of mechs at levels five to seven. The more the better, no matter how many, the military can afford them!"

Initially, Gu Qing's mecha was highly regarded, but because the identity of the master craftsman who created the mecha was unclear, when they applied for funding to purchase the mecha, they only bought a small batch on a trial basis.

Later, they guessed the master's identity.

However, they couldn't reveal Ling Luo's identity to others.

In addition, the cost of purchasing mechs is enormous. Even though he and Wang Honghai have considerable influence in the military, they still need to use the hundred mechs made by Ling Luo and let people see the effects of Ling Luo's mechs before they can continue to apply for funding from their superiors and start purchasing mechs in large quantities.

A few days ago, a Zerg invasion broke out, and the role of the mechs made by Ling Luo became apparent.

The funding from above is coming in quickly; now it's just a matter of getting funding from Ling Luo's side.

Ye Xingxue had already guessed what Ye Zhenyan had said.

"Okay, I understand. I'll tell her."

"You can discuss the specifics with Luo Luo later, Grandpa."

"However, Luo Luo is very busy right now and may not be able to respond to you in a short time. You will need to wait patiently."

Ling Luo's cultivation technique and the Five Elements Beads have been delivered to the military headquarters.

He and Wang Honghai and the others had already learned Ling Luo's martial arts techniques.

It has also been taught to the soldiers in the army.

Due to the short timeframe, the specific effects have not yet been demonstrated.

However, the Hellow Military Academy implemented it early, and Yu Danqing had already told them about the specific results.

Therefore, he naturally didn't need to worry about the effectiveness of the technique.

He was studying mecha, and when he got the Five Elements Beads, he subconsciously studied them.

However, apart from its weight far exceeding what its size should be and its excellent texture, the Five Elements Bead looks like an ordinary bead.

There didn't seem to be any high-tech stuff inside, and he couldn't figure out how the Five Elements Beads were made.

Mecha, elixirs, cultivation techniques, Five Elements Beads...

Each of these things was far more powerful than he had ever imagined.

It would be strange if someone who can research so many amazing things wasn't busy.

After all, even the most talented person needs to spend time and effort on research before they can achieve results.

Therefore, although Ye Zhenyan was anxious when Ye Xingxue said that Ling Luo was very busy, he understood.

He said, "Okay, I understand. Let me know when Luo Luo is free, and I'll contact her then."

Night Snow: "Okay."

Days passed by.

Another month has passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, Ye Xingxue suddenly tagged everyone in the group chat: "What do you want to eat tomorrow night?"

The others looked completely bewildered.

Ye Zeru: "Brother, you want to treat us to dinner?"

Night Snow: "Mm."

Ye Zeru: "Anything will do, as long as it's a big meal."

Ye Zeru: "Brother, why did you suddenly decide to treat us to dinner?"

He asked this not because he thought Ye Xingxue was stingy.

It was just that Ye Xingxue suddenly acted this way, which seemed a bit strange.

When Ye Zeru asked this question, others also appeared.

They're not as polite to Ye Xingxue as before, and they've all said that as long as it's a big meal, they're fine with it and won't be picky.

At this moment, Ye Xingxue sent a message: "One-year anniversary."

One year anniversary? Or a special day?

At first, everyone was a little confused.

Jiang Xingliu reacted the fastest: "Tomorrow is your wedding anniversary with the Crown Princess?"

Night Snow: "Mm."

Upon seeing this, the group chat was filled with nothing but "Holy crap!"

Then came a string of blessings.

Ye Xingxue looked at it and sent another message: "Remember to bring a gift."

Others: "..."

Others: "Received +6".

the next day.

Ye Xingxue posted a message on social media: "Happy first anniversary."

The accompanying picture is a photo of two people holding hands.

The rings on the fingers of the two people in the photo are particularly eye-catching.

Ye Xingxue rarely posts updates online.

Night Snow suddenly posted an update, and it was even a post showing off her love life!

"Holy crap, this dog food (a Chinese slang term for public displays of affection) came out of nowhere! It's almost overwhelming for a single person like me!"

"His Highness the Crown Prince and Crown Princess have been married for a year already? Wow, that's fast! Congratulations!"

"Waaaaah, His Highness the Crown Prince still loves to show off so much, I'm so jealous."

Night Snow has many fans.

Hundreds of thousands of comments were added in just a few minutes.

However, netizens quickly discovered a problem.

"??? Where is the Crown Princess? On such an important day, why isn't she showing up?"

"By the way, does the Crown Princess have a registered account?"

"His Highness the Crown Prince posted this update, but hasn't tagged anyone yet. Does that mean the Crown Princess hasn't registered an account yet?"

"However, on such an important day, His Highness the Crown Prince has already posted such an update. Shouldn't the Crown Princess register an account and respond to His Highness?"

"It's also possible that the Crown Princess doesn't like being disturbed. Although she registered, her account was too small for us to notice?"

This netizen wasn't the only one who thought of this.

Many netizens have thought of this.

However, when they searched for keywords, they discovered that many netizens had registered online nicknames related to Ling Luo's name, responding to Ye Xingxue as Ling Luo...

As for which one is the true Lingluo, no one knows.

Many people tagged @夜行雪 and left comments asking him which one was Ling Luo.

It wasn't until evening that Ye Xingxue gave netizens a debunking reply: "None of them are true, Luo Luo didn't register an account."

Ye Zeru and the others watched as Ye Xingxue replied to this message.

By the time Ye Xingxue replied to the message, they had already sat down in some of the private rooms they had booked at the restaurant.

Not just them.

Night Rain, Luo Yi, Xia Lin and the others also arrived.

The sofa in the private room was covered with gift boxes they had brought.

only……

That's not the point.

Ye Zeru asked, "Brother, where is sister-in-law?"

The others also looked at Ye Xingxue.

When they first arrived, they didn't see Ling Luo and assumed she had gone to the restroom.

But after a while, the food was served, and they still hadn't seen Ling Luo or Ye Xingxue looking for her. They started to feel that something was wrong.

Ye Xingxue exited the personal terminal and said calmly, "She's busy, she didn't come."

"!!!"

Upon hearing this, everyone else immediately stared at him with disbelief.

Ye Xingxue's expression remained unchanged, as if she hadn't noticed their expressions, and she said, "Let's eat."

Others: "..."

They looked at Ye Xingxue cautiously, as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.

For a moment, they even lost their appetite.

Ye Xingxue ignored them and ate heartily.

Seeing this, they all realized that the idea that Ling Luo and Ye Xingxue's relationship had changed was just their overthinking.

After all, they often met with Ye Xingxue, and if their relationship had really changed, Ye Xingxue wouldn't be the way she is now.

Besides, Ling Luo is often very busy, and they often can't contact her, plus she has so many good things...

Although Ye Zeru and the others did not know what important matter Ling Luo was busy with.

That's why they don't even have time to go out for a meal on their wedding anniversary.

However, Ye Xingxue didn't seem to care, so they didn't think much of it.

Time flies.

Another half month passed.

By this time, Ling Luo had been in seclusion for more than three months.

A week later, it will be the time for the twice-yearly combat assessment of the Hellow Military Academy.

But Lingluo had not yet finished her seclusion.

Ye Xingxue didn't know if she would emerge from seclusion in the next few days.

And in the next two days, we need to finalize the team formation arrangements.

After class, Ye Xingxue contacted Yu Danqing at some time: "Luo Luo may not be able to participate in this practical assessment."

Yu Danqing: "Because the Crown Princess is very busy?"

"Um."

Yu Danqing paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, I understand."

She knew less about Ling Luo than Ye Zhenyan did.

After all, she had no idea that Ling Luo could make mecha, nor did she know that the pills she concocted had miraculous effects.

She didn't have much contact with Ling Luo.

But she had enough trust in Ling Luo.

She believed that Ling Luo wouldn't deliberately skip the assessment.

There must be a reason why she didn't participate.

Think about the cultivation technique written by Ling Luo, and then think about the Five Elements Beads.

Yu Danqing became even more determined in her decision.

but……

Over the past month, the Education Bureau has urged her several times to discuss the authorization of the Five Elements Beads and the cultivation technique with Ling Luo. Of course, apart from her, the school principal, and a few teachers, no one else knows that the Five Elements Beads and the cultivation technique were created by Ling Luo.

Annoyed by the constant nagging, she contacted Ye Xingxue once in the past month to ask when Ling Luo would be free.

After that, I never contacted him again.

Now that Ye Xingxue has personally delivered herself to her doorstep, how could she let such a good opportunity pass by?

She couldn't help but urge, "Your Highness, when the Crown Princess is finished with her work—"

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Xingxue said directly, "Understood. Thank you for your help, Principal, regarding the Education Bureau."

After saying that, he ended the call and logged out of the personal terminal.

Yu Danqing: "..."

He complained about how hard it was, but he hung up the phone without hesitation.

She ground her back teeth, and then she actually smiled.

Their Crown Prince of the Lingliu Empire.

Before marriage, she was aloof and cold, like a block of ice, and not easy to get along with.

Now that she's married, she seems to have gained more popularity.

Now they've been in contact more often, and although their conversations are brief, their relationship has inexplicably grown closer.

For this assessment, first-year students can apply to the school to choose other beast zones to participate in the assessment based on their own martial arts skills.

For example, Bai Ying and her group are planning to enter the intermediate beast area for assessment this time.

Based on their understanding of Ling Luo, they believed that Ling Luo's thoughts must be the same as theirs.

Not many first-year students applied to go to the intermediate beast area.

If Ling Luo also goes to the intermediate beast area for the assessment with them, they can form teams freely.

Unable to contact Ling Luo, they had no choice but to tag Ye Xingxue in their group chat.

Night Snow: "You'll find out Luo Luo's specific arrangements on the day of departure."

Since Ye Xingxue had already said so, Bai Ying and the others didn't press further and simply acknowledged it.

Before they knew it, the day arrived for the school to depart for the Beast Star for the assessment.

Before setting off, Bai Ying and the others were planning to contact Ling Luo to confirm her assessment arrangements.

However, before they could contact Ling Luo, Yu Danqing posted a message on her official social media account, stating that Ling Luo would not be participating in this assessment.
