His Majesty, Aldrich the Great Lion, lay sprawled on the soft carpet, his long, golden fur gleaming like pure gold, without a trace of other colors. Sunlight streamed through the large French windows onto the great lion's sleek fur, the reflected golden light nearly blinding Neil's presbyopic eyes.

"Your Majesty." Neil leaned on his crutches and saluted the Great Lion with trembling hands.

Neil was nearly four hundred years old, too old even for a superpower. Aldridge suspected that if he opened his mouth a little wider and blew out a stream of air, he could blow the old man apart.

Did the Academy of Sciences send this old man to commit fraud?

The big lion, who had finally recovered from his sleepiness, turned back into human form with an unhappy look on his face. When he turned back into human form, the expression on his furry face was exactly the same as that of Arthur with the inverted triangle eyes.

Aldridge sat down on the chair and motioned Neil to sit opposite him. The secretary immediately brought two glasses of warm water.

Aldridge glanced at the secretary, who smiled back. "Your Majesty, please be patient and drink something else. I'm afraid it might cause problems for old man Neil."

Aldridge silently drank a sip of the bland water and said, "Are you here for the live broadcast of Sanatorium No. 1?"

Neil asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, can you allow that young man named Mingyou to enter the Academy of Sciences?"

Aldridge said without hesitation: "No."

Neil: "..." Is this just a polite way of saying it? He's here to make a request! Your Majesty, how could you refuse so bluntly?

"Since the Academy Elders invited you out, they know I absolutely won't agree to this," Aldridge said slowly. "They can't find any information about Mingyou at all. They must be very worried, right?"

"The Academy of Sciences has been researching for so long, and they told me every day that my brother was hopeless and could only wait to die. Now a young man who came out of nowhere seems to be about to cure my brother, and you're anxious?" The Emperor raised his lip corner, and his serious face had a bit of sarcasm and rogueness, which made Neil's heart beat fast.

The Academy only knows that His Royal Highness Prince Arthur has a difficult personality. Does that mean His Majesty the Emperor is good-tempered? They don't even consider who raised His Royal Highness.

"I'm anxious." Neil had long since stopped caring about the Academy's affairs. This time, he agreed to the Academy's elders' request, not just for the sake of the younger generation who had already lost faith in him. "But the Academy has the seeds planted by His Royal Highness. Even if it means the current system of the Academy falls apart, I think our Star Alliance needs more people to learn Mingyou's cultivation techniques."

"Didn't I ask him to start a livestream? If you want to learn, just watch it yourself." Seeing that Neil wasn't siding with the Academy Elders, Aldridge put away his sarcastic smile, but still insisted, "Teacher, when you go back this time, you can tell the Academy Elders the news they're most concerned about."

Neil sighed. His Majesty the Emperor already called him Teacher, so he couldn't do anything about it.

"Teacher, they are different from you. You care about the health of the Covenant warriors, but they only care about whether this young man who suddenly appeared will steal their honor. They really don't need to worry, because he is the only one left in his school." Aldridge's serious expression revealed three parts of sadness, three parts of anger, three parts of heartache and one part of sarcasm.

It was clearly nonsense, but he pretended to be so. Thanks to the Tan family's cover-up on Tianlan Star, they erased all traces of Mingyou's previous life and even created a record of the death of the "fake Tan Changgeng", turning Mingyou into a living ghost.

From then on, the Star Alliance was left with only Mingyou, the only heir to the ancient academic school.

"Besides him, there are no other spirit beast masters in the Star Alliance."

"The spiritual beast fruit trees and other food and medicinal herbs suitable for spiritual beasts cultivated by the spiritual beast masters were all burned."

"When he escaped, he took everything he could, but it wasn't enough for Arthur to recover on his own."

"It was just an academic dispute, but it eventually turned into a heresy trial, which is what the Elders Council is best at. Mingyou is a foolish child, he knows nothing; the spirit beast masters were completely wiped out, and the dead cannot speak. I have no evidence, and I don't know who did it, or who has hidden the spirit beast masters' scientific research results until now. I can only do my best to protect this only hope."

"We'll have to wait until Arthur can transform into a human form before he can show himself in public." Aldridge sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, looking very tired. "With his reputation as a protector, even if all the experts and scholars in the Star Alliance who specialize in spiritual beast cultivation come together to attack him, he can still protect Mingyou."

Neil's body was shaky, as if he couldn't catch his breath and was about to faint.

The secretary immediately appeared and took out heart medicine for Neil to take.

Neil patted his chest and finally caught his breath. He couldn't believe it and said, "Gone? All gone? Really all gone?"

Aldridge nodded slightly and sighed again.

"How come it's gone? How come it's all gone?" Neil stood up and walked around the room twice like a headless fly with his cane. Then he slammed his cane down on the ground. "Who did this?! There's not even a trace left?!"

"No. Mingyou, that fool, even thought they were simply struck by a natural disaster, not a man-made one." Aldridge continued to make up stories, making them up at random. "He came to Sanatorium No. 1 and said he could cure Arthur. I was desperate and tried everything, but I didn't expect to meet such a treasure."

"I don't plan to tell Mingyou about these speculations. Since his elders didn't tell him anything, it means they don't want him to bear too many dark things. Teacher, when you see him next time, don't tell him about these speculations." After the sticks were distributed, Aldridge began to distribute candies.

"This child has been living in an isolated place and doesn't have a deep understanding of the Covenant. While treating Arthur and the others, he is also studying the Covenant's current spirit beast breeding, looking for replacements for the destroyed ones and correcting the fallacies in spirit beast breeding."

"I've sent people to search for everything in the wild beast's diet. Mingyou said we might be able to find a substitute for the ingredients in the nutrient cubes from these items."

"If the teacher still has the energy, could you ask him to email you questions? In the current academic community of the Star Alliance's spiritual beasts, the only person I trust is the teacher, as he's knowledgeable and willing to suppress heresy."

"Very spirited! Very spirited!" Neil roared immediately with full energy, "I will teach this student myself... No! He and I will learn from each other, improve together, and be teachers to each other! Don't worry about the affairs of the Council of Elders, just protect this one young man! When His Royal Highness Arthur comes back, I'll see who dares to speak ill of me again!"

After all, His Royal Highness Arthur is a great man who almost dismantled the Elders Council of the Academy of Sciences.

When the war against the Zerg invasion broke out, the Elders Council of the Academy of Sciences wanted to take the opportunity to expand their power. They used the name of spiritual beasts to treat and recuperate to seize resources on the front line, and even wanted to use seriously injured soldiers for experiments.

His Highness Arthur drove a mecha and led a group of S-class warriors into the Academy of Sciences. Not only did he rob all the supplies, he also demolished the Senate Hall, the symbol of the Senate's power.

Even more astonishingly, while His Majesty the Great was demolishing the building and looting, someone within the Academy had disabled its protective shield, leaving the doors wide open for His Majesty's arrival. The Elders sought accountability, but found the younger members of the Academy acting with unanimous rhetoric, clearly protecting each other and engaging in irresponsible behavior. From that point on, the Elders' control over the Academy was significantly weakened. Had His Majesty the Great "disappeared" after the war, the Academy Elders would now exist in name only.

After Neil learned about this, he slapped his thigh and said with gritted teeth, "It's your duty."

Given the Emperor's temper, if it weren't for the injured soldiers, this group of people would not have been touched for the time being and he would have sent them to a military court long ago.

So in a sense, Mingyou is the death warrant for this group of people.

Neil felt the Emperor's determination to protect Mingyou, and he was so happy when he got home that he even ate half an extra bowl of rice. He was just waiting to see the death of those members of the Senate, even if they were his disciples.

After learning about this, Aldridge laughed and scolded the old fox.

The old fox was also worried about his position. After all, the elders had blamed him for the disappearance of Arthur and the ten heroes.

As long as Arthur didn't show up, the rumors would persist. Their best hope was that Arthur would be injured and step down on his own.

Although he became emperor because he lost the lottery, he still became the emperor. Unless he wanted to step down, who would dare to touch him?

Aldrich thought about who he would pass the throne to after he voluntarily stepped down.

Arthur? This brat will never handle his official duties honestly. If he were to become emperor, he would definitely run away in the middle of the night.

Son? That silly kid only grows muscles and abilities but not brains. He gets a headache if he reads for more than half an hour.

The other nephews and nieces? Everyone has an excuse for not wanting to do it.

When the time comes, we'll just draw lots. First, find an excuse to exclude Arthur and his son from the drawing. They absolutely must not suffer the same pain I've endured. His Majesty the Emperor looked resentful.

…

Mingyou wanted to do a live broadcast in the evening, but Arthur slapped him on the forehead with his cat paw and rejected it!

It will take a few days for the outside public opinion to ferment and his brother to handle things smoothly before starting the next live broadcast!

Mingyou opened his almond-shaped eyes wide, with an expression that said, "I understand."

Arthur pushed Mingyou's head with his cat paw, and Mingyou's head shook. Arthur clearly heard the sound of tofu dregs colliding with each other in Mingyou's head.

He pushed the big white bear's head with his cat paw again, and the big white bear's head shook, making the same sound as Mingyou.

Arthur understood that when it came to such complicated matters, Mingyou's brain was like a crazy polar bear, and all the brain water turned into tofu dregs.

"I'll just listen to Dahei!" Mingyou was in a very good mood as he knew that he knew nothing about those conspiracies and plots.

"Oh." Arthur responded listlessly, feeling tired.

The big white bear nodded. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no need to think! Listen to the big black cat!

Arthur was so angry that he kicked the polar bear in the head. "Hey you! Hurry up and get back to normal! Use your own brain to think about the problem!"

The big white bear groaned and fell to the ground, covering his head.

Then with a "bang", Arthur, who was standing on three legs and had an unstable center of gravity, fell heavily to the ground and turned into a pool of black cat liquid.

“Ouch!!!”

"Ahhhh Dahei, where did you fall? Let me see!"
