When Glek saw the message his adjutant sent him, he was completely stunned.
He felt that he recognized every word on the computer, but he couldn't understand them when they were put together.
What does it mean that Xia Qingqing came to the Marshal's Mansion to find him?
How could Xia Qingqing possibly come to the Marshal's Mansion? No, Xia Qingqing could never appear in interstellar space!
Glek quickly opened the system panel to make sure he hadn't missed any system messages.
Even if Xia Qingqing really wanted to come find him, she should have sent him a message or made a video call, but she didn't do anything!
But surely the adjutant wouldn't joke about something like this, and a look of confusion appeared in Glek's eyes.
Regardless, he had to rush back to the Marshal's Mansion immediately; he wanted to see Xia Qingqing in person and ask her what had happened.
Glek quickly asked his captain for leave, and fortunately, his captain had also received orders from his adjutant and approved Glek's leave application without hesitation.
Since Glek had taken leave to return to the Imperial Star for personal reasons, the team's spaceship couldn't be made available for him alone. So he had to buy the next available spaceship back to the Imperial Star on the StarNet himself.
It was the next day when Glek arrived at the Marshal's Mansion.
After he entered the Marshal's Mansion, he was taken to Xia Qingqing's room by Xize, who then left without any intention of disturbing them.
"Qingqing, it really is you!" Glek stared wide-eyed at Xia Qingqing, who was still wearing her pajamas, his voice filled with shock.
Xia Qingqing smiled and nodded: "It's me, Glek, long time no see."
"You... how did you get to the Marshal's Mansion? How did you get to interstellar space?" Glek asked impatiently.
Xia Qingqing's eyes flickered slightly, and she shook her head in distress: "I don't know either. Anyway, I woke up here and was almost arrested by the steward of the Marshal's Mansion because he mistook me for a bad guy. I remembered that you said you are now the Marshal's personal guard, so I told the steward, and he took me to see the Marshal..."
After hearing her recount her experiences over the past two days, Glek was still somewhat stunned.
This is amazing. But since the interdimensional trading system allows them to exchange resources in different dimensions, it's normal for it to take them across different dimensions, right?
Glek asked, puzzled, "Qingqing, why didn't you message me directly when you arrived?"
"My system won't open; only the system repository is still usable," Xia Qingqing shrugged helplessly.
"Oh, is that so? Will you be able to go back?" Glad asked with concern.
Xia Qingqing shook her head dejectedly: "I don't know either. Maybe one day I'll suddenly wake up and find myself lying in my bed at home again."
Glek patted her on the shoulder: "I'm here for you. Aren't we friends?"
"Yes, thank you, Glek," Xia Qingqing said, a smile returning to her face.
After chatting in the room for a while, Glek was about to take Xia Qingqing to resign from her post with the Marshal. Staying at the Marshal's mansion indefinitely wasn't a good idea, so he planned to take Xia Qingqing home.
When Morris heard that he wanted to take Xia Qingqing away, he frowned almost imperceptibly: "It's alright, the Marshal's Mansion is very large, just stay here."
"That would be too much trouble for Marshal. I'll take Qingqing back with me," Glad said with a simple smile. He thought the Marshal was quite nice and had no idea that the Marshal had other motives.
Xize quickly chimed in, "Greek, you still have training to do, and Miss Xia won't be able to see you even if she goes to your house. It would be more convenient for you to stay at the Marshal's Mansion, don't you think?"
Hearing this, Glek wavered: "Wouldn't this be bad? After all, Qingqing isn't a member of the Marshal's Mansion."
“There’s nothing wrong with that, it’s decided then,” Xize said gently but firmly.
Glek pulled Xia Qingqing aside and whispered, "Qingqing, what do you think? Would you like to stay at my house or at the Marshal's Mansion?"
"Can't I stay in a hotel?" To be honest, Xia Qingqing didn't want to stay in either place. She felt that neither the Marshal's Mansion nor Glek's house was very convenient, and subconsciously she always felt that they were other people's places.
Glek looked a little embarrassed and whispered in Xia Qingqing's ear, "You don't have an ID card, so you can't check into the hotel."
Management may be more relaxed in other remote areas, but hotels on the Imperial Star are managed very strictly to prevent various criminals from sneaking into the Imperial Star.
"Alright, then let's stay at the Marshal's Mansion," Xia Qingqing quickly made a decision, too lazy to bother with any more trouble, since the two places were pretty much the same to her anyway.
Glek nodded: "Alright, I'll talk to the Marshal."
After Xia Qingqing returned to her room, Morris began to ask Glek about Xia Qingqing.
"Greek, is Miss Xia the trader from the ancient Blue Star you mentioned?"
"Marshal, how did you know?" Glek looked at Morris in shock. He thought he had kept it a secret.
Xia Qingqing's identity is too incredible. Glek really didn't want Morris and the others to know Xia Qingqing's identity, worried that it would have any negative impact on Xia Qingqing.
Morris chuckled softly. "It's too obvious; she's completely unfamiliar with everything here."
Glek touched his nose guiltily. It turned out that Qingqing had given him away. He had thought he was the one who had been exposed.
He looked at Maurice with a serious expression: "Marshal, Qingqing is my friend, and I will not allow anyone to hurt her."
Although he knew that his strength was insignificant in front of the Marshal, he was the only person Xia Qingqing knew in this world. If he didn't care about Xia Qingqing, how helpless she would be in this strange world.
"Don't worry, I have no intention of doing anything to her," Maurice said in a cool tone.
Upon hearing this, Glek secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the Marshal was a man of his word, and if he said he wouldn't touch Xia Qingqing, he definitely wouldn't.
Xize looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Greek, you've got some nerve these days, daring to speak to the Marshal like that."
"I...I didn't mean it, Marshal, I was wrong, please punish me," Glek realized that his behavior was disrespectful and pitifully apologized to Maurice.
A smile flickered in Morris's eyes: "Well then, let's run fifty laps around the Marshal's Mansion."
Fifty laps? Glek felt dizzy. The Marshal's Mansion was so big that even fifty laps wouldn't be enough to finish in a day and a night.
"What, don't you agree with the Marshal's decision?" Xize asked with a smile.
Glek immediately shook his head: "No, no, I'm convinced, extremely convinced."
Waaah, he really sacrificed so much for Qingqing. I hope Qingqing will treat him better in the future.
