Chapter 96 Chapter 96 I love puppies the most.
Feng Yue didn't expect Ye Ning to refuse so cleanly and neatly.
She wanted to raise her voice and vent her anger, but she didn't have the confidence to be arrogant in front of Ye Ning.
The pot of spider plant and the osmanthus tree have been placed in the center of the military hall of the capital area these days. Everyone who passes by can smell the fragrance of the osmanthus tree.
She also tried to stimulate the growth of an osmanthus tree, but it was unusually thin, with thin, dry branches and sparse, dull leaves. Only a few scattered blossoms dotted the branches, their faint fragrance almost indistinguishable unless one took a closer look. It was a stark contrast to the rich, mellow aroma that permeated the hall.
Everyone was saying that Ye Ning was a pure human being with top-level talent, a talent that only appears once in a hundred years or a thousand years. All the words of praise in the world were piled on her, even Xiru was on her side.
Feng Yue suppressed the jealousy, anger, and resentment that welled up within him and continued, "Originally, I was the most gifted pure human, and they clung to me like dogs. Now that you're even more gifted than me, he's come looking for you again."
"He's been by my side for five years, yet he betrayed me without even turning back. Can you really trust someone like him by your side who's so disloyal for the sake of profit?"
"Give him to me. If you want anything else, people, money, or resources, I can exchange them with you. And from today on, I won't cause you any more trouble."
Feng Yue said this very bluntly, and she didn't care what expression Gu Su had when she said this.
As long as Ye Ning agrees, Gu Su will leave here with her today no matter what.
Forget about the previous ones, from the last sentence, Ye Ning really heard her determination to want Gu Su.
As for what kind of trouble Feng Yue had caused her, she did, but she didn't take that little bit of public opinion or trouble to heart. She had enough to do every day, so how could she have the time to pay special attention to people who didn't like her?
Gu Su was standing between them, closer to Feng Yue, but his gaze was fixed on Ye Ning. His inner anxiety and uneasiness reached a peak. His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his nails digging into his palms, and his knuckles turned slightly white.
He wanted to explain, wanted to tell Ye Ning that it was not like that, but he felt that whatever he said would make him seem like a feeble and weak defense.
Ye Ning turned to look at Gu Su, "Do you want to go with her?"
Gu Su immediately shook his head, and then said: "Master Ye Ning, I will never betray you."
In truth, he didn't feel like he'd betrayed Feng Yue. When he'd been with her, he'd always been dedicated and dedicated, without a single slackness. After five years together, it wasn't like they had no feelings at all. But Feng Yue's appearance today had completely eroded the last bit of affection he had for her.
Gu Su's tone became firm again, "Master Ye Ning, I don't want to go with her."
Ye Ning nodded and looked at Feng Yue, "You heard it, he doesn't want to go with you."
"He is a person with his own thoughts and judgment. He is not an object that we can dispose of casually. I respect his choice."
Ye Ning checked the time again. "You can rest in Xisha District today. There are many activities in Xisha District these days. You can participate if you want, but it's best to return to the Capital District tomorrow."
There have been enough people coming to the Xisha District in the past few days. If Feng Yue doesn't go back, they will have to leave someone behind to protect her.
After Ye Ning finished speaking, she stood up and prepared to leave.
Hou Lin walked up to Feng Yue and said, "Master Feng Yue, please go. We will arrange for you to rest."
Feng Yue's voice rose several degrees, "He is dispensable to you, why can't you give him back to me?!"
This time, Ye Ning looked at her seriously and said, "Because he doesn't want to."
After Ye Ning finished speaking, she continued walking inside.
She didn't care whether Feng Yue listened or not, because she had already expressed her meaning very clearly.
But these few simple words made Gu Su's heart seem to be wrapped in a warm and powerful force, and a feeling of being respected and understood that he had never experienced before arose spontaneously.
No, he didn't want to. He absolutely didn't want to endure Feng Yue's temper. He didn't want to be sent on missions by her to find independent designers. He didn't want to be bossed around by her 24/7. But he was an orc, and Feng Yue was a plant therapist even more gifted than Yan Gang.
Feng Yue "likes" him, and everyone says that this is his greatest luck. Everyone envies him, so he has no right to say no.
But just like a long drought finally meeting a downpour, all his negative emotions were released and nourished in an unprecedented way the moment Ye Ning said these three words.
Ye Ning gave him the right to refuse and respected his ideas!
Ye Ning didn't notice the change in Gu Su's expression behind her, but Feng Yue saw it.
Touched, happy, close and...longing.
These were emotions that had never appeared when he was with her. Such an undisguised look once again deeply hurt Feng Yue.
Feng Yue suddenly saw Long Qi and immediately said, "Do you think they really came here for you? They just want to come here to kill Di Long!"
Hadn't Ye Ning specifically praised Long Qi and cleared his name at the military visit? She wanted to see if she could remain calm and allow Gu Yu and Gu Su to stay with her after knowing their true intention of killing Long Qi.
Ye Ning did not respond to her, but just waved back as she walked.
But at the same time, Feng Yue discovered that the way Gu Yu and Gu Su looked at her had completely changed.
Both of them looked at her with extremely cold eyes, especially Gu Yu, whose voice was filled with unprecedented indifference, "Master Feng Yue, let's go."
In the end, Feng Yue was "asked" to leave. Even though she was unwilling, she knew that there was no turning back in this matter.
But she had already said what she shouldn't have said, and the ugly expressions on their faces had already given her the pleasure of revenge.
Gu Yu contacted his father that night. The Tiger Tribe was also very angry when they learned what Feng Yue had said in front of Ye Ning.
"What does she mean? Is she deliberately trying to seduce the Tiger Tribe? Gu Su has followed her for the past five years. Even though he has made some contributions, he has worked hard. She even injured him a while ago. If she had just shown a little consideration for Gu Su, would he have left?! She's still angry."
"I found out. It was Xiru who allowed it. And if Xiru hadn't said anything, how could she have taken a group of people on board the aircraft without being discovered?"
"We're going to settle the score with Xiru right now. Don't worry, this won't happen again. When she comes back, we'll definitely send more people to follow her."
"You should explain this matter clearly to Lord Ye Ning. We are doing this for the sake of pure humans and orcs."
…
Gu Yu hung up the phone and looked at Gu Su. Both of them saw worry in each other's eyes.
Gu Su: "Go and explain to Lord Ye Ning first."
Gu Yu nodded.
Several hours had passed since they finished dealing with Feng Yue's affairs.
The sky had completely darkened, and the red moon hung high in the night sky. Both of them felt uneasy.
Ye Ning went straight to the study.
Before she sat down, she saw that Le Song looked a little unhappy.
Ye Ning asked him: "What's wrong?"
Le Song said a little aggrievedly, "She just said that we should rush up to her like dogs. We are just enthusiastic, and we won't rush up to everyone we see. I just don't like her."
We are all orcs, why use the term "dog tribe" to insult others?
Ye Ning couldn't help but rubbed his head, "Ignore her, I like puppies the most."
Puppies are so wonderful! They're cute, smart, loyal, and lively. If she could have a pet, she'd definitely choose a puppy.
Le Song is also a very nice person. Every time she sees him, she feels very happy.
For example, now, after hearing what she said, Le Song's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Really? Do you really like the dog tribe the most?" Le Song rubbed her palm and kept trying to get closer to her.
"Yeah. So don't let other people's words affect your mood. Her opinion of you is not important at all." Ye Ning held him down, rubbed him twice, and then put her hand down.
Le Song nodded happily.
When Ye Ning said this, Long Qi also looked over.
His expression was cold and hard, and no emotion could be seen, but his eyes were fixed on her hand that had been rubbing Le Song, and Ye Ning suddenly felt as if a thorn in her back was on her.
Thinking of what Feng Yue had just said, Ye Ning looked at Le Song again, "Go out and take a look at the situation. If they can't handle it, tell me immediately."
Le Song was still immersed in joy. After hearing Ye Ning's request, he walked out happily without saying a word.
Only Ye Ning and Long Qi were left in the room.
Ye Ning looked at him, "Is what Feng Yue said at the end true?"
Long Qi paused and nodded slightly.
Ye Ning: "Did you know this a long time ago?"
Long Qi: "Yeah."
He looked calm, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
But she had clearly heard that Long Qi was also a member of the First Team, and everyone cared about him. Gu Yu even requested a plant from the Tiger Tribe in the Capital District just for him.
She also always thought that the relationship between them was pretty good because they were the few people who had no prejudice against Long Qi.
But Long Qi confirmed what Feng Yue had just said.
Ye Ning didn't know how to describe his current mood. This environment was too bad. It seemed that everyone around him was untrustworthy. No wonder he had always refused to contact anyone.
But Gu Yu and the others couldn't just kill him without a reason, right? Moreover, Gu Yu had been in the Xisha District for so long and had brought other people from the Capital District with him.
If he really wanted to kill Long Qi, he would have had plenty of opportunities to do so. There must be something else she didn't know about. When she left, she heard Gu Yu and the others' tone had cooled. After they were done with this, they would probably come and explain the matter to her.
Finally, Ye Ning tiptoed and patted Long Qi's shoulder, "It's okay, you are so powerful, he definitely can't hurt you."
"But in this case, it's best not to bring Gu Yu and Gu Su with us when we go to the ocean."
Although they were wearing protective clothing that could block out the heat, Long Qi could still feel the warmth from Ye Ning's palm, which was transmitted to his body with a little bit of warmth.
He lowered his eyes slightly and looked down at her, his tone not so cold and hard anymore, "You will be safer with them around."
Ye Ning: "We'll see what happens then."
Feng Yue thought she was a pure human, so naturally she could control others. But orcs are also human. Even if orcs naturally prefer pure humans, they are still normal people with their own will. Since they are human, they must have their own thoughts. Humans can't even fully control themselves, so how can they completely control others?
After this delay, Feng Yue had almost digested her food.
Ye Ning took some time to look at the materials for tomorrow's global climate seminar.
This is the first time that Xisha District has held such a large-scale conference. In addition to professors from various districts, other stakeholders such as environmental organizations, business leaders, government representatives, etc. will also attend the conference.
The meeting mainly discussed global climate change and jointly discussed solutions and strategies.
This kind of meeting usually involves in-depth discussions.
So tomorrow morning, we will first conduct a global climate assessment and forecast, interpret relevant reports, and present our latest research findings. We will then discuss specific emission reduction targets and reach a new emissions reduction agreement.
We will then focus on how to enhance ecosystems' adaptability to the current climate. While vegetation coverage is undoubtedly the greatest influence on climate, human activities also have a significant impact.
Finally, and most importantly, we need to establish relevant financial and technical support. Development is highly uneven across regions, and technology is relatively limited. Therefore, if we can reach an agreement and increase the flow of funds and technology between regions, we can achieve greater energy conservation and emission reduction, and expand global planting areas.
There are professionals promoting this aspect, and she is mainly there as a special guest, using her influence on the public to make this seminar more valued.
She didn't really need to read the materials, as her main expertise was in planting. But if she didn't understand anything, it would be a waste of time to just sit there. And learning more is always a good thing, so Ye Ning felt she should read the materials beforehand, as a sign of respect for everyone.
When Ye Ning had almost finished looking, Gu Yu and Gu Su also came back.
Gu Yu explained the current situation to her, "The district chief has already arranged a new place for Lady Feng Yue. She will board the aircraft back to the capital district tomorrow."
"She is still very angry, but much more rational now. We have already checked her residence in advance to ensure there are no sharp objects, and have arranged for someone to watch her."
Gu Yu explained in great detail, but it was too detailed. There was actually no need to tell her Feng Yue's current situation in such detail.
But Ye Ning did not interrupt him, but just listened to them quietly.
After a while, Gu Yu finally finished saying everything he could say.
He looked at Hou Lin and the others, "I have something I want to say to Ye Ning alone."
Hou Lin also guessed that there was something that could not be said in public. The things inside involved the capital area and could not be heard by others. He nodded and retreated with Le Song.
But thinking of what Feng Yue said, he bumped into Le Song and asked him in a low voice if he knew about this.
Le Song: "That must be Feng Yue's nonsense. The captain is very good to Long Qi. When Long Qi was injured before, the captain personally took us to the restricted area to look for plants. If we hadn't gone to the restricted area that day, we wouldn't have found Ye Ning."
The topic returned to Ye Ning, who Hou Lin was still very interested in, and the two began to chat about what happened that day.
In the room, Gu Yu looked at Ye Ning, and Ye Ning also looked at him.
After a while, Gu Yu spoke with some difficulty, "I really came to Xisha District for him in the first place."
If Long Qi showed any signs of mental disorder, they would have to kill him in advance.
Otherwise, once he completely riots, a lot of orcs will be lost if we try to kill him.
Of course, the Tiger Tribe did this mainly for political purposes.
The last Emperor Dragon was strangled by the Tiger Clan at the risk of their lives. This is a great achievement worthy of being recorded in history.
Gu Su also continued: "But you also saw that we did not cause any substantial harm to Long Qi."
"And it's necessary to be prepared for any eventuality, especially since he's with you now. Even though you value Long Qi very much, we must be wary of him. Otherwise, if the Emperor Dragon riots, you'll be the first to be harmed."
Ye Ning: "Is it really just because of the awakening of the Emperor Dragon that they became mentally ill?"
Gu Yu shook his head: "We are not sure, but the Emperor Dragon after the riot is extremely destructive. You know Long Qi's strength. Even dozens of orcs are no match for him."
Ye Ning nodded and then said, "You are all very important to me, and you are by my side every day. You are the people closest to me, so I don't want to see you guys being suspicious of each other and fighting among yourselves around me."
"Pure humans are dying young one after another, and we have to be careful about being taken away by the rebels. There are already many people and things to be wary of, so I hope you can get along well."
"If you notice anything strange, tell me first so I can pay more attention and we can work together to find a solution."
Gu Yu nodded, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
After the two came out, Gu Su still felt a little unbelievable.
"I thought Lord Ye Ning would be angry or ask us a lot of questions."
As a result, none of the scenes he had imagined in his mind appeared.
This feeling was so wonderful, being trusted, respected, and expected. In Gu Su's mind, the scene where Ye Ning seriously told Feng Yue that "he didn't want to" emerged again.
Gu Su covered his heart and kept recalling this feeling.
It’s not because she is a pure human being, nor because of the plant scent on her body, but simply because she is Ye Ning.
"She just said that we are all important to her."
A smile appeared on Gu Yu's face, "She has always been like this."
So far, the only time he saw Ye Ning angry was when Feng Qi became her substitute and got injured. But even that time, she remained calm.
Gu Su was completely relieved, "I can finally stay here with peace of mind."
The next morning, Ye Ning packed up, put on a light green protective suit, and arrived at the climate seminar.
There is a huge signature background wall at the door.
After Ye Ning arrived, she also signed her name on the wall with a pen.
People came in one after another.
Because she was an important person, she was directly placed in the most central position on the stage.
The entire conference hall is divided into two parts: the stage and the audience. The stage is where the main seats are, with about a dozen seats. On the other side is a dedicated speaking platform, and below are other relevant personnel who are attending the event.
Ye Ning arrived neither too early nor too late, and was the last to appear.
Next to her seat was Cang Hao.
Cang Hao looked very happy, especially after she walked over and sat down, Cang Hao moved closer to her.
"Lord Ye Ning."
The meeting hadn't started yet. Ye Ning looked at him and asked, "Are you the speaker today?"
Cang Hao propped his chin with one hand and nodded. The red at the corners of his eyes seemed to have intensified, and his emerald eyes were more lustrous.
He hadn't seen Ye Ning for several days. Every time he watched Ye Ning's live broadcast, he could see Cang Chen following her.
But with so many people around her, Cang Chen was almost standing at the farthest distance, always watching her silently.
She had a face exactly like his, and he didn't dare get close to her. He felt annoyed just looking at her.
The gold wire frame of the glasses shone with white light, and for a moment, Ye Ning seemed to see a certain sharpness in his eyes.
But the feeling was fleeting, as if it was just her illusion.
Ye Ning encouraged him as usual, "Come on, today's meeting is very important, you must perform well and let them see the strength of our institute."
The word "we" made Cang Hao feel extremely happy. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already made preparations."
What Ye Ning values is his ability, so naturally he has to perform well.
"Master Ye Ning, I wonder if you still remember me. I am..."
People kept coming up to greet Ye Ning, and she smiled and responded to each one. She remembered those whose names she had seen once before. Many of them were players who had been there during the visit.
No one expected that, after only meeting them once before, Ye Ning not only remembered that they had met before, but could also call out their names and identities accurately.
Everyone whose name was called by Ye Ning was extremely excited, and their favorability towards Ye Ning suddenly increased by several levels.
Cang Hao looked at the people who kept coming and he felt irritated. Cang Chen noticed his mood and looked over from the audience.
When their eyes met, Cang Hao suddenly laughed again.
When Cang Chen looked at him again, he found that his mood had returned to normal, and he felt a little relieved.
Cang Hao has a strong possessiveness for the things he likes. This possessiveness is extremely paranoid, but it must not fall on Master Ye Ning, otherwise he will be the only one who gets hurt. Therefore, if Cang Hao can't control himself, then he can only keep Cang Hao away from Master Ye Ning completely.
The meeting started quickly. After the host finished his opening remarks, Ye Ning went up to give a speech.
She has read the manuscript, but she still prefers to improvise on the spot, which is more in line with the current situation and can also prevent her brain from being stuck due to recalling the content.
Everyone's eyes fell on Ye Ning. Cang Hao looked at Ye Ning, who was shining brightly on the stage, and just wanted to block out the sight of everyone around him.
But the rational part of him kept suppressing the crazy thoughts in his mind.
Ye Ning quickly and successfully finished today's speech.
When she came down, it meant that today's activities officially began.
Cang Hao adjusted his mood and went on stage to seriously start the first part of today's activities, evaluating and analyzing the current situation.
This was Ye Ning's first time listening to his lecture, which had nothing to do with plants, so she was a little surprised when she first saw him. But she hadn't expected him to be so knowledgeable about this subject. He was indeed the first place winner, scoring ten points higher than Shi Cong.
Ye Ning was listening to the explanation and looking at the materials when she suddenly felt a strong gaze coming from below.
She raised her head slightly and looked over, and her eyes met with someone's.
Ye Ning had good eyesight and immediately noticed the nameplate on his desk, which read...Shi Ren.
