"Oh dear, what are we doing standing here? It's such a waste of energy... Madam Yang, come, come, let's go rest over there first, have someone bring some snacks over, and let's chat for a while."

Seeing the restraint and timidity on Yang's mother gradually dissipate, Tong Su finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to the husbands of the ladies with a smile to express her gratitude.

General Xu Kai sighed, "My brat is such a spoiled brat. I've beaten him so badly I broke several whips, but it's no use. He insists that his father's high position and power mean his son's status depends on his father, and that he'll live off me for the rest of his life. Now, after seeing Miss Yang, I realize that the true glory comes from the strength and achievements of one's children..."

Speaker Hilly sighed, "If only they didn't rely on their parents' status to cause trouble every day, I would be content. How could I dare to hope that they would learn from Miss Yang!"

Tong Su just smiled.

After Yang's mother left and everyone flattered her, the main event began.

Several scientists from the research institute couldn't wait to ask Tong Su about her knowledge of dagger forging.

The official exhibition of the dagger will begin at 8 p.m. tonight. At that time, agents dispatched by the royal family will place the dagger in a special display case and push it out to the center of the exhibition hall for public viewing.

"Did you use forging or casting? Do you have a comparison of the two methods?"

"The inclusion of spiritual energy has always been the key point. Refining methods alone are probably not enough; special mineral crystals need to be added..."

Do you think the radiation from the white hole has any impact?

"If we're going to promote it, cost control is key! What are your plans in this regard?"

Faced with questions that were either questioning or provocative, Tong Su remained unfazed and spoke eloquently.

The more he talked, the brighter the scientists' eyes became. Their doubts and provocations vanished, and they became more convinced. They wished there was a laboratory in the exhibition hall so they could go in right now and try it out on the spot.

Seeing Tong Su, who was the center of everyone's attention, and Xuan Ting floating beside her in his spiritual form, his eyes shone with even more pride and self-satisfaction.

This is the girl he likes!

This is his person!

That's how it should be.

Such confidence, such pride, such power, so convincing and admirable!

Unbeknownst to many, Tong Su had become the central figure at the event, and her speech was increasingly technical. Yet, more and more people gathered around her, unwilling to leave even if they couldn't understand her explanations, and stayed to listen to her.

The speaker and the general couldn't help but worry as she talked more and more, fearing that she might inadvertently reveal some secrets. They wanted to give her a hint, but they never got the chance.

Tong Su could see their worries at a glance. With a slight smile, she changed the subject when she was talking about the refining method, amidst the restless and eager gazes of the crowd.

“That’s right, casting and forging each have their own merits. I’ve heard that the Royal Research Institute has the most advanced laboratory in the Galactic Empire. If I have the chance, I’d really like to try it out there. But I’ve also heard that to join the Research Institute, not only do you need outstanding personal research achievements, but you also need a guarantor from the royal family…”

Before the general could even say "No problem," someone in the distance suddenly laughed, and the laughter grew closer and closer.

"What is Miss Yang worried about? It's just a guarantee! I am a prince, I should be qualified to provide such a guarantee, right? The royal family is eager for talent, why would they have a problem with Miss Yang joining the research institute? I can write a letter of recommendation for the research institute right now..."

Everyone was stunned, turned around, and dispersed.

Then a plainly dressed man walked over with a smile.

Prince Ross!
