Chapter 260: The requirements are not high, the cub is alive and it is a victory

After two times of entering into meditation, Yun Che's cultivation was finally not so bad. He had reached the late stage of Qi training, which was a whole realm lower than Ye Jiaojiao's. In other words, Yun Che had been worn down to the point of losing his temper, so he didn't despise her anymore.

The Mecha League started in early July, and it was almost a month ago. Ye Jiaojiao and Yun Che were preparing to leave the Mining Star.

Ye Jiaojiao is going to study at the Imperial College. As she is a recent graduate, even if she is successfully admitted, she still has to participate in military training before school starts.

The entrance examination will be held in mid-August, and the college will organize a two-week military training for new students from the end of August to September.

It’s just the right time for Ye Jiaojiao to rush back to the capital planet.

The industrial chain on Planet J666 is very mature. Ye Jiaojiao didn't have anything to say, so she explained it to Ryan and boarded the aircraft carrier with Yun Che.

Just like when they came, they landed on planet H12.

Arriving at the Weil residence, Jacob, who had taken the Marrow Cleansing Pill, was in high spirits. He was pushing Edward around the yard and playing like crazy. Suddenly, he saw Yun Che and Ye Jiaojiao. He was startled and immediately rushed over: "Brother Yun! Sister Ye!"

After taking the marrow cleansing pill, Jacob's health gradually improved. He became like an ordinary child, jumping around, lively and healthy.

After greeting the two little guys, Ye Jiaojiao led the Weir couple to the study again. After examining Jacob, Ye Jiaojiao gave a positive answer: "Jacob's body is no longer in danger."

"Mr. Yun, Ms. Ye, thank you so much!" Mr. and Mrs. Weir excitedly hugged Jacob in their arms.

The family of three lived in harmony and happiness. Mrs. Weir even cried with joy.

Jacob was held by his parents, feeling their excitement. Thinking back to the potion he had to drink when he was ill, he choked up a little: "QVQ, it's so good that I don't have to drink that sticky, bitter potion anymore."

Ye Jiaojiao stepped back slightly, not disturbing the Weir family. She caught a glimpse of Edward sitting alone in a wheelchair. She inexplicably felt that his profile revealed a hint of loneliness, so she leaned forward and asked, "How do you feel?"

Half squatting, Ye Jiaojiao released a trace of spiritual power and began to check Edward's legs.

Edward was caught off guard by his name. He blinked, instantly suppressing the bitterness in his heart, and thought seriously: "My legs sometimes feel numb in the middle of the night. I don't know if it's just my imagination."

"Don't worry, it's not an illusion. Your leg is recovering, so you feel the numbness." After checking Edward and confirming that his condition was indeed improving, Ye Jiaojiao injected a ray of spiritual power into his leg bone to nourish him, and then comforted him, "Don't worry, he will definitely recover."

"Thank you, Sister Ye." Edward was young, and due to his early experiences, he was not very good at expressing himself. Feeling Ye Jiaojiao's concern for him, he struggled for a long time before uttering a very soft thank you.

If Ye Jiaojiao wasn't an ordinary person, she would probably have been ignored.

Ye Jiaojiao, who was abandoned as a child, understood this state of wrapping herself up, being covered with thorns, wanting to believe but not daring to believe. She said nothing, rubbed Edward's little head, and went to the kitchen to make some fried snacks that children like to eat for Edward.

Ye Jiaojiao and Yun Che stayed on the aircraft carrier for three days. In the evening, after dinner, Ye Jiaojiao checked Edward's legs again, and then she and Yun Che went back to their rooms to rest.

Yun Che was meditating as usual. Not long after he entered into a state of concentration, the door of his room rang.

As the door opened, Edward appeared in the doorway.

“What’s going on?” Yun Che didn’t even bother letting anyone in, but stood guard at the door.

Ignoring Yun Che's cold expression, Edward maneuvered his wheelchair and squeezed past Yun Che into the room. He turned around only after hearing the door close behind him. "I'm not from the Empire. I'm from the Federation."

Not an Imperial?

Yun Che, who wasn't even an interstellar person, raised an eyebrow: "And then?"

“And then?” Edward was very dissatisfied with Yun Che’s disregard for him. He had a stern face, like a prim old man. “My living here might cause trouble for the Jacob family. You’d better send me away!”

"Send away? Send to where?" Yun Che walked around Edward and came to the table. He took a glass, poured it slowly, and handed it to Edward.

“Orphanage? Boarding school? Remote planet?” Edward didn’t take the cup that Yun Che handed over. He still lowered his head and explained calmly, which was completely unlike the state a child should be in.

After being exiled to the empire, the place where Edward stayed the longest was the orphanage.

Even though he hated it there

But for him, an illegal immigrant, that place is the best.

Remote planets are also good, preferably places with few people.

The environment in boarding schools is slightly better, but the safety factor is too low and it is easy to be discovered.

“Before, you told me that you hated the orphanage.” Seeing that Edward had already decided on a place for him, and was still analyzing the plans for him, Yun Che sighed silently when he thought of the first time he met Edward.

Obviously just a child.

They have no expectations for the future, just want to survive, and are deeply afraid of implicating others.

“I really hate the orphanage, but…” Edward kept his head down, not daring to look at Yun Che. He was afraid that he would reveal his weakness to Yun Che. In fact, his voice was already filled with tears.

"Edward, no buts." Interrupting Edward, Yun Che squatted down, looking up and meeting Edward's gaze. His eyes were cold and icy. "Didn't you say Si Ming was reliable back on the Fifth Army ship? Don't worry. Even if you don't believe I can protect you, you should at least trust him, a major general of the Empire."

He's just a child. Since I've already softened my heart, there's no reason to give up.

Isn’t the identity of the junior brother he picked up also a mystery?

He still successfully raised me.

If there is only one cub, you have to protect it; if there are two cubs, you have to drive them away.

Yun Che's requirements were not high; as long as the cub was alive, it was a victory.

Being stared at like that by Yun Che, Edward's face gradually turned red. He felt a little nervous and suddenly changed the subject: "You left in such a hurry that I forgot to ask. What is your relationship with Major General Si? Can he really protect you? Even if I am from the Federation, would he protect me as well?"

What’s the relationship?

Thinking of Si Ming kidnapping his beloved junior sister, Yun Che turned away angrily and said, "Go back to your room and rest. Stop thinking about nonsense all day long."

With worry and more relief, Edward went out.

After a while, Yun Che came out of his room, knocked on Weier's door, and brought him to the study. He got straight to the point: "Weir, Jacob was able to recover because you spent a lot of money to buy a bottle of high-grade repair fluid. As for Edward, he is the child I entrusted to you to take care of temporarily."

“Hmm?” Yun Che spoke so much right away. Wei Er, being a simple-minded person, didn’t understand at first. Only after Yun Che finished speaking did he react: “Don’t worry, Mr. Yun, I understand!”

Yun Che first helped his family make money, and then asked the people of the Fifth Army to take care of their family's lives. Ye Jiaojiao even cured his son. Wei Er still knew what not to say.
