Chapter 360 Encountering an Assassination Attempt

Qu Tong usually stays in bed late, while Si Yuting goes to work early.

The personal terminal left her a message at the top: 【I've gone to the military dependents' hospital. The Flying Yuan Mecha matter has been resolved. If there's anything wrong, just tell me.】

What's been resolved?

She hasn't even seen him yet.

Qu Tong clicked on the business card notification below with some doubt.

The link redirects to the homepage of a user on Xingwang, whose profile picture is a completely black starry sky and whose nickname is a single word, a capital "Y".

The latest post below is a plain text post that concisely and clearly states that he took responsibility for the modification of the Flying Yuan Mecha.

This one post alone has garnered over ten million likes and comments.

【Ahhhhh!!! Y God has returned!】

[Someone pinch me, am I dreaming?!]

[To the person upstairs: I can tell you with absolute certainty that it wasn't a dream, because I saw it too.]

[It's no surprise that it was created by God Y.]

[The Crown Princess even knows God Y! This network of connections is incredible.]

[Looking for the same mecha suit as the Princess Consort! When will Y-God release another new work?]

[Didn't God Y say that with the current resources, only one mech can be modified like this, and there won't be any more in the future?]

[What a pity, but I'm really looking forward to Y-God's other works.]

...

Just by reading the comments, Qu Tong could feel the admiration from netizens.

However, Y God is indeed very powerful, and she is very adept at using her silver mecha.

Scrolling down reveals a few scattered drafts and finished product displays.

Judging from the popularity of the dynamics, it is undoubtedly Y God himself.

She didn't even need to show her face; Si Yuting had already taken care of everything for her.

It's clear that Si Yuting and this God Y have a special relationship.

It's true that capable people associate with other capable people.

Qu Tong called Si Yuting.

It took a while to connect. Si Yuting must have been in the wild, as the sound of the wind and the strange cries of the star beasts could be heard over the communication.

"Your Highness, thank you for this. If your friend God Y needs any medicine, he can contact me," Qu Tong said while dressing.

There was a moment of silence on the other end, then a single word was replied: "Okay."

"By the way, Your Highness, I've decided to go back to school."

Due to an unexpected incident during the midterm exams, Xu An decided to stay at school for the time being.

Since she had nothing else to do, she decided to stay and train with them.

"what ever."

"What about you? Don't you need to go back to the border?" Qu Tong asked casually.

“No need. The Zerg situation has calmed down, and Chengfeng and the other three need an opportunity to train.” After a pause, Si Yuting added, “In a while, I’ll have Jiang Zhou transferred to the military hospital, and you can begin your treatment.”

If Si Yuting hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten about it.

Someone called out "General" in the personal terminal, so Qu Tong hung up the communication and told him to get back to work.

Qu Tong returned to school and found that Old Yuan was not in his own laboratory, but had gone to the public laboratory building instead.

It's the weekend, and there aren't many people in the pharmacy department's laboratory building.

Through the window, one could see Old Man Yuan standing to the side with his hands behind his back, watching Rong Yueqing prepare the medicine, nodding occasionally and offering a profound comment.

It could also be a compliment; Rong Yueqing's beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with joy, and her little face was flushed.

As soon as Old Yuan came out of the laboratory building, he said, "This girl's talent is much better than yours."

After saying that, he corrected himself, "Oh no, you must have some talent for making potions taste so awful."

Qu Tong: "..."

He was subtly insulting her.

She's already immune.

He raised an eyebrow: "If you like, you can take her as your apprentice."

She had already said that she wouldn't interfere with Old Man Yuan taking on other apprentices.

“That won’t do. I told you you’re my only direct disciple, just one.” Old Yuan shook his head stubbornly.

"I am the only direct disciple, but there can be nominal disciples. I believe many people would be willing to do that."

Old Yuan stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and agreed.

However, he is now the dean of the pharmacy department, so he can guide these students whenever he has free time. Whether he is officially named or not doesn't matter.

Old Yuan then looked at Qu Tong and sighed, "She's a princess from a neighboring country. Aren't you afraid of technology leaks?"

Qu Tong didn't take it to heart: "The purpose of the mental energy stabilizing drug is to save lives, regardless of nationality."

Besides, it's just a few apothecaries from neighboring countries, or even a few master apothecaries, which isn't a big deal. In fact, it's more beneficial than harmful to the Canaanite Empire.

The entire empire desires as many apothecaries as possible, but only the Apothecaries Guild will try every means to monopolize the industry in order to demonstrate their supreme status.

"As expected of my disciple." Old Yuan glanced at Qu Tong with admiration, then turned back to organize his notes.

"If only they had thought that way back then."

With a soft murmur mixed with a sigh, Qu Tong looked up at Old Yuan's back, which exuded a sense of dejection.

She had also asked Hu Qing and Si Yuting about Old Man Yuan.

When things were going well, an unexpected event occurred, and he became the one who was abandoned.

Fortunately, Mr. Yuan was an optimist and never gave up on finding hope.

It's about being haunted by the truth behind the accident; even though there are suspects, there's no evidence to prove it.

After completing the task assigned to her by Old Man Yuan, Qu Tong turned and went to the underground fighting arena.

Xu An invited her to practice together.

With a tail following behind her, Qu Tong didn't change her identity to Jun Li.

The arena was simply set to private mode so that spectators could not watch.

Xu An felt that Qu Tong's previous training had been very effective, and now he had accumulated enough practical experience. He wanted Qu Tong to help him identify any weaknesses that needed improvement.

"Let's just fight directly, no need for mechs," Qu Tong suggested.

In fact, many people use mechs less often after their mental strength increases.

Using mental energy directly would be more convenient.

“Okay.” Xu An had no objection.

In front of Qu Tong, Xu An was almost entirely vulnerable.

But there was nothing that could be done; Xu An's mental strength was what it was.

Qu Tong could only point out some of the more serious flaws for Xu An to improve.

Two hours later, Qu Tong withdrew the vines.

"Alright, that's enough for today. We can practice more later."

Compared to Qu Tong's composure and impeccable demeanor, Xu An was much more disheveled, his entire body soaked in sweat.

Xu An caught his breath and said, "Okay, I'll go to the plainclothes room. If you need anything, you can go back first."

"I'll wait for you." Qu Tong removed the isolation shield from the arena.

Xu An quickly showered and changed his clothes before they left the fighting arena together.

The hovercar hadn't gone far when Qu Tong's eyes suddenly narrowed. In an instant, she disengaged the autopilot and quickly turned the steering wheel.

Xu An was jolted so badly that he was thrown against the car door.

"What happened?"

Qu Tong stopped the hovercar, turned around and asked, "We've encountered an assassination attempt. Do you want to test your skills?"

Qu Tong's casual tone startled Xu An.

After only a moment's hesitation, Xu An nodded.

He had killed many star beasts, but he was still lacking in actual combat against humans, especially when facing someone who wanted to kill him.
