Qin Houqing was taken aback by the retort, then slowly smiled and said in a clear voice, "As the saying goes, guests are always welcome. Your Highness of the Troya Empire, as the host, is this how you treat your guests who have come to your home?"

Ginger shreds: "..."

Oh my!

Moral blackmail?

Is he perhaps suffering from some serious illness?

He's so spoiled, he deserves a beating.

"Who are you trying to morally blackmail?" Wei Chi may be simple-minded, but he never falters when it matters, and his IQ soars: "Qin Houqing of the Federation, I'm talking to you. What does that have to do with my Jiang Jiang? Are you using the relationship between the two countries to morally blackmail her?"

"Good grief, is it because I didn't let you take me home last night that you're taking this opportunity to get revenge, trying to pick a fight, is that it?"

Ginger shreds: "..."

Xiaoweichi v5555.

Playing by your own rules means catching people off guard and making them scream.

Look, look, look! The people in the room who were looking at them started whispering and discussing Qin Houqing. Their voices were just loud enough for her to hear: "This Qin Houqing from the Federation is very outstanding. Are all outstanding people arrogant, lacking in manners, and interrupting others at will?"

"Interrupting casually isn't the point. The point is that this guy is going to take the Fifth Military Academy cadets home. If he's taking them home, their homes are definitely on the capital planet of the Troya Empire. Since their homes are on the capital planet, do they really need him to take them? Don't they know the routes better than he does?"

"Oh, I see, I see. Qin Houqing is pursuing this young man from the Fifth Military Academy. No way, that young man is His Highness's friend, and he doesn't seem very 'refined' at all!"

“You’re right. The young man with His Highness, I just looked him up. His name is Wei Chi. He lives on the capital planet and is the chief mecha pilot in his second year at the Fifth Military Academy. He came out on top in the freshman military training a little over a year ago. He’s a rising star.”

"Look, the rankings of the mecha competition on the big screen. His Highness is ranked first overall, Wei Chi of the Fifth Military Academy is ranked second, and Qin Houqing of the Federation is ranked third."

"Mom, those three are rivals. Is Qin Houqing planning to infiltrate the enemy ranks and sow discord?"

"As a military academy student, you must act uprightly and win honorably. What's the point of infiltrating the enemy? Can't you afford to take risks? Surely not, such a large Federation can't afford to take risks?"

Qin Houqing also heard the whispers of the crowd and cursed inwardly. He had indeed deliberately raised his voice so that everyone around him could hear him and see how the young prince of the Troya Empire treated his guests.

Unexpectedly, Wei Chi appeared and disrupted his plans, making it impossible for him to get close to the young prince of the Troya Empire—a zombie…

"Speechless now, huh? You're just looking for trouble." Seeing that he didn't say anything, Wei Chi continued to nag, "If you want to cause trouble, then have a real fight with mechs and real weapons. Don't just whine and play petty tricks here, it's despicable."

Qin Houqing took a barely perceptible breath, revealed a polite smile, and said unhurriedly, "Wei Chi, you misunderstood. I wanted to take you home last night because I saw you at the space station and thought you had no one to pick you up and no spacecraft."

"I thought it was on my way, so I gave you a ride home. I didn't expect you to misunderstand so much. I'm so sorry, please don't be angry."

"On the way?" Wei Chi pointed at himself, then at him, his words sharp: "Dear, the Federation, the Orcs, the Fourth Civilization, and the Zerg who come to compete have special hotels. After getting off the spaceship, they are taken to their accommodations by special hovercars."

"You're going the same way as me. Do you know which ring road I live on? Oh, right, the competition hotel is on the Fifth Ring Road, and I live on the Third Ring Road. You really are going the same way."

Ginger shreds: "..."

Xiao Weichi is really good at finding loopholes in other people's words.

Look... Qin Houqing's face looks like a spilled five-color palette, with all sorts of colors: blue, yellow, green, and purple.

The people around burst into laughter. This Qin Houqing was really trying to cover up her mistake by making up an excuse that the clothes would fall apart easily. She even spoke so righteously, but she was mercilessly exposed.

Qin Houqing gave Wei Chi a deep look, then her gaze passed over him and landed on Jiang Si behind him, saying affectionately, "Your Highness, do you know what I mean?"

Jiang Si peeked out from behind Wei Chi, looking at Qin Houqing with an adorable smile that didn't reach her eyes. Her voice was clear and sweet: "Honey, do you mean I should tell everyone here that you brought Wei Chi back to pursue me, a married man?"

He's truly a prodigy.

It's oily.

Everyone: "!!!!"

Wow.

What explosive news is this?

They also liked the strong-willed young prince.

but…

I may like him, but he's already married. I can only vent online and think about stealing him away, but I don't dare to take any action.

Qin Houqing... This is incredibly audacious! Disregarding the laws of the Troya Empire, she's wielding a hammer and striking a corner wall, and she's even pursuing the young prince of the Troya Empire?

Oh my god.

What is his status that allows him to pursue the noble young prince of the Troya Empire?

Shouldn't we all praise him? He's a true hero!

Qin Houqing's pupils constricted as she stared at Jiang Si. She didn't play by the rules, and neither did the people around her. But that was good; it was the unpredictability that made things challenging.

"Your Highness is too kind. Everyone appreciates beauty, and Your Highness's excellence is evident to all..."

"The match is starting! The match is starting! The match is starting!"

Before Qin Houqing could finish speaking, someone shouted, "The first 20 groups have entered the arena! My God, my God, the mechs used by the Troia Empire in the semi-finals are high-level mechs! Ahhh, I've never seen so many high-level mechs before! My God, as a poor student, I'm so envious!"

"Ah, look at the big screen! The last 20 groups have appeared on the big screen. Tell the last 20 groups to prepare in advance, check their mechs, and hurry up and check the list to get ready."

This shout drew everyone's attention to the big screen, which displayed the first 20 groups to perform and the next 20 groups that needed to prepare.

The next 20 groups saw their names and immediately went to prepare.

Since Jiang Si wasn't in the top 40, she took out a willow chair, and the two of them sat down and looked at the arena.

Twenty small arenas, twenty groups, forty people, as the bell tolls, piloting mechs to fight, mech lightsabers flashing and swords clashing.

Qin Houqing didn't look at the stage or anything else; his light brown eyes were fixed on Jiang Si until the personal terminal on his wrist vibrated. Only then did he look away and look down at the personal terminal.

His pupils constricted at the sight, and he quickly retreated to a secluded spot. He connected to his personal terminal, but before he could speak, a hoarse, aged voice came from the other end: "Qin Houqing, you've become so slick with your pursuit of a zombie that you could cook a whole feast. You've truly disappointed me. From this moment on, you are not allowed to approach her again!"
