After Shi Xing finished speaking, he thought he had expressed his meaning very clearly and powerfully, but when it fell into Chi Yao's ears, it didn't seem to stir any ripples.

When they looked at each other, the other party lowered his head as usual and looked at the documents.

Chi Yao: "Xu Jin has come to you."

It was not a question, but a statement, an affirmation.

Chi Yao: "I'm curious, what did he say to you?"

Shi Xing's eyes wavered for a moment, and he said truthfully: "Minister Xu didn't say much. He said two things."

"One is that you are on the list of candidate matches."

"The second is that you have not been matched before, partly because there are no Blue Star people with the right level."

The second reason has been proven after Chi Yao's answer earlier in the evening.

Chi Yao thought about it, "So you think you are suitable, right?"

This question came too abruptly and too directly, catching Shi Xing off guard, not knowing how to answer.

After hesitating for a while, his knuckles tightened unconsciously, Shi Xing said: "It is said that I am the first Blue Star person who is not rejected by your mental power."

Rather than saying it was an answer, it was more like stating a fact, using facts to indirectly prove his qualifications.

Chi Yao's pen for marking the document paused again, as if it was difficult for him to do two things at the same time. He closed his eyes for a moment, and finally put the pen down with his long fingers.

His eyes were still on the document, and he spoke again, still asking the same question, "So, do you think you are suitable?"

He just repeated it once, without emphasizing it, and his tone could even be said to be normal.

But repetition itself means dissatisfaction with Shi Xing's answer.

Chi Yao wanted a more direct answer.

Chi Yao wanted Shi Xing to answer this question... directly.

Shi Xing's breathing became tight. He was a little confused about the other party. He didn't know how to respond to make the other party really satisfied.

He also didn't know what kind of answer the other party wanted in his heart...

The room was silent, and the two began to confront each other silently again.

It takes a lot of courage to confront Chi Yao. After experiencing it twice in the commercial street in one night, it is obvious that Shi Xing lacks this thing at the moment.

Since he can't support the hard shell, he simply exposes his soft part. Shi Xing answered according to his thoughts.

"Your Highness, I want to try."

After that, he promised solemnly and sincerely,

"Although I am very weak now, I have great potential. I will work hard to make myself qualified."

Even if he is not suitable now, he will work hard to make himself suitable.

It was not a completely direct answer, but Chi Yao understood the meaning.

The study became quiet again.

After a moment, Chi Yao asked softly: "Why?"

Just three words, Shi Xing was dizzy.

Why "why"? Why do you want to choose him? Why do you think you are qualified? Or why do you want to give it a try? ?

Too many possibilities flashed through Shi Xing's mind in an instant, causing his thoughts to stagnate for a moment.

Chi Yao stopped talking after he finished speaking, and obviously had no intention of helping him clarify the specifics of the problem.

In this situation, Shi Xing's throat rolled, and he was afraid of the tense atmosphere, so he did not dare to ask rashly.

For about dozens of seconds, or perhaps a minute, his mind was filled with various possibilities, making Shi Xing feel deeply confused.

His throat rolled again. Shi Xing's throat was a little dry because of the tension and attention.

He spoke again by instinct.

The answer was also the first answer that he could think of in his mind.

Shi Xing followed his heart and said, "I know you, Your Highness."

Chi Yao shook his head for a moment and laughed, "You know me?"

The faint question made Shi Xing feel uneasy.

The next moment, Chi Yao looked directly at Shi Xing, stood up from behind the desk, and the powerful mental power filled the entire room in an instant, sweeping, no, or it would be more appropriate to use the word siege. Shi Xing only felt that he had nowhere to hide, and he could not even think of any resistance or self-defense.

The difference in strength was too great. It seemed that he would be annihilated on the spot as long as the opponent had a thought. He had no way to resist and had no ability to resist at all.

But the mental power was only released for a moment. When it was released, the opponent seemed to have thought about taking it back.

There was no time to generate more emotions in it, no time to feel it more deeply. At the same time that Shi Xing was shocked by its strength, the power was taken back.

Chi Yao walked out from behind the desk, his tall figure straight, and said firmly: "No, you don't understand me."

"Even, you don't know what you are talking about!"

Shi Xing instinctively wanted to refute, but Chi Yao did not give him this opportunity.

Taking a step towards Shi Xing with great pressure, Chi Yao asked: "Do you know who I am?"

"Do you know my true identity?"

He took another step forward, his voice was steady and almost emotionless, sounding official and stern and cruel.

Chi Yao: "Do you know what choosing me means? Do you know which side of the Empire you have chosen?"

"It is well known that the stronger the Blue Star people are, the more fragile they are in the mature stage. Since the matching dinner was held, the Empire has produced a total of 28 Blue Star people with A-level talent assessment. There are only 11 S-level doctors left in the Empire. One of them left the Empire due to special circumstances, and 9 died of unknown diseases of Blue Star people in the mature stage."

"With my identity, it is impossible for me to stay in the Empire forever."

"It's my duty. I'm going to places farther than any officer you might be matched with nowadays. It's possible to go to the farthest end of the border of this galaxy, to a planet that is not open to the outside world and has unknown conditions. If you get sick on the way, the medical team and equipment we bring with us can't treat you. We won't have time to return to the Empire in a short time!"

Yes, mature Blue Star people are very weak, and because of the difference in race and the disappearance of Blue Star, the Empire's understanding of them is also very limited.

The pathology of Blue Star people before or after maturity is similar to that of Imperial people, but in maturity, it is a completely different matter.

This is a very special and strange period. Some diseases cannot be detected by the medical means of the Empire. Many mature Blue Star people have no physical problems, but as long as they feel discomfort in their spiritual sea, and the existing medical means cannot alleviate the progress of this discomfort, they will die within one to two days, or at most a week.

Chi Yao: "The remaining 9 people were all killed by the sudden attack of high-level star beasts and swallowed. Their partners and their teams also died to protect them."

"My team will go to many dangerous places. C-level and D-level mutant star beasts are often encountered. Even king-level star beasts are not impossible to encounter. Under this premise, the overflowing spiritual power of the mature Blue Star people has a fatal attraction to the star beasts..."

"With your level, do you know how delicious you are in the eyes of these high-level star beasts?!"

Chi Yao went further, "Do you really know the risks you will face after choosing me?"

Once the three key words, alien beast, devour, and blue star people, were mentioned, they suddenly reminded Shi Xing of the past hidden deep in his mind, making his eyes flash with a moment of confusion and... deep fear.

But Chi Yao had not finished what he wanted to say.

Chi Yao: "Finally, you don't understand the condition of my spiritual sea. If I'm not mistaken, you can't use your talent to fully explore my spiritual sea now."

The difference in the level of spiritual strength is too great, and Shi Xing is completely suppressed.

Shi Xing realized it later, it should be that he used his talent that night and was discovered by Chi Yao.

"Yes, my mental power does not reject you."

"But this is completely different from you being able to cure me."

"The level given by your talent assessment computer is SS+. I am not sure how much you will grow in the future, but there is one thing I can tell you for sure, SS-level doctors cannot completely cure my spiritual sea."

Taking another step forward, Chi Yao finally stood in front of Shi Xing, with deep features and a firm look. His smoky gray eyes were shining with an inorganic luster, as if... without any emotion.

There was no emotional fluctuation, it was completely, purely rational.

Chi Yao: "Do you know what kind of patient you are facing? Do you know the price you have to pay to cure me?"

"Do you know that once you stay at SS level and fail to cure me, you will face strong pressure from many forces in the empire?!"

Maybe Chi Yao's words were too firm, or maybe this question touched on the blind spot that Shi Xing could not reach in his previous life, and the entanglement with the past disturbed his mind.

One after another, the problems that had never been imagined came down, and Shi Xing's mind went blank.

When Chi Yao's tall figure stood completely in front of him, he only felt that something was pressing close to him, gripping his heart and making him unable to breathe. Involuntarily, Shi Xing took a step back. As soon as

the movement of retreating began, Shi Xing realized that he was showing his cowardice.

He stopped again, but it was too late. Even if he took only half a step back, he was completely seen by the person in front of him.

Chi Yao naturally understood the deep meaning and behavioral language it represented.

Chi Yao saw the panic on Shi Xing's face, and he stopped and stopped moving forward.

But he didn't retreat either. He

softened his tone and asked, "Which of these questions can you answer?"

Shi Xing was speechless. He... couldn't answer any of them. They

looked at each other in silence.

Chi Yao: "Can you still tell me now that you know what you are saying?"

Chi Yao: "Can you still say now that you understand me?"

At this moment, Chi Yao's gaze did not carry any sense of oppression, but it fell lightly on Shi Xing's face.

His voice was not loud, and it could even be said to be gentler than when he was watching the fireworks, but the meaning of these two questions was like a revelation to Shi Xing.

Shi Xing's breathing became heavier and faster, and his chest began to rise and fall.

Some emotions were accumulating.

He wanted to prove it urgently, to prove that he was not talking nonsense and that he knew everything.

At least, it was not like what Chi Yao's words revealed, that choosing him was just a childish thought that came to him on a whim.

No, he had considered it seriously.

He had his own reasons.

Shi Xing looked back at Chi Yao, slowly clenched his teeth, and after a long while, he struggled hard and said.

"Even if I don't know all of you, at least I can see part of you."

The moment these words came out, something in Shi Xing's heart suddenly settled, and he stopped retreating.

"I know that Your Highness has been well-educated."

"I know that you are thoughtful and will not leave only one solution or one way out when doing something."

"I know that you are strong, I know that you are independent, and I know that you are someone who can fully control your own life and will not be manipulated by others."

"I..."

He paused slightly.

"I know that you are very good to me."

"Even if it's not just for me, this kindness is based on the foundation of all Blue Star people, and I just happen to be one of the Blue Star people who happens to enjoy this kindness and feel it in the same way."

Shi Xing looked deeply into Chi Yao's eyes, and looked into the ash with an unwavering gaze.

"I... can feel your respect for me."

"Even though our statuses are very different, even though you don't need to respect me at all, as long as I'm in front of you, you've never looked down on me, not even once."

"Of course, maybe this is just because of your good upbringing and your high standards for your own conduct."

"But I know it's not that easy to do this, especially with the blessing of power for many years, people's perspectives on people and things will change, and they will become... become all kinds of things that normal people can't understand, but you don't seem to be like this. I can feel you as an individual, and I can see the real you behind the identity blessed by power."

A layer of mist appeared in those ocean-blue eyes, wiping the eyeballs until they were sparkling. Shi Xing asked word by word: "Aren't these you?"

"Even if I don't know all of you, the part I can see is not the real you, right?"

These eyes were so clear that for the first time, Chi Yao felt like someone had seen into his heart.

He... hadn't been asked this question for a long time, unable to answer.

Neither of them retracted their gazes, and silence spread again, but something in the air changed silently.

Chi Yao raised his hand and did a move that Shi Xing did not expect.

Chi Yao stretched out his hand to cover Shi Xing's eyes.

Yes, covered.

As if he could not bear his gaze.

Shi Xing subconsciously denied this cognition, he did not think Chi Yao was that kind of person.

"Now you are..." It was originally a joke, trying to lighten the atmosphere, but the voice was hoarse, and Chi Yao knew he had failed halfway through. He paused, took a breath, and still finished the next sentence, as if with emotion, "You are not afraid of offending me at all." After speaking,

Shi Xing subconsciously shrank, and Chi Yao's hand was on the other's face, and he could feel it.

"Relax, it's just a joke."

A failed joke.

Chi Yao took a rare deep breath.

After a long while, he thought about something before speaking again.

"Except in the imperial capital, wherever I go outside, people call me Your Highness. On the one hand, I don't want to reveal my whereabouts. On the other hand, it may be because the empire values ​​martial arts, and I grew up among a bunch of military officers. I don't like to make too much of a fuss. I think it's troublesome."

"In order to have stronger offspring, the royal family has had many marriages since ancient times, aiming to add strong blood genes and give birth to offspring with better mental power and stronger. "

"Therefore, there are many branches of the royal family. Most of the important branches serve in the Elders' Council, but there are very few true direct descendants of the royal family. So few that this branch currently has only two people."

"I have two names."

"Most members of the royal family have two names. One surname comes from the imperial royal family, and the middle names of the marriage partners from many planets are added in the middle. Only the last name has not changed, which is Bellman."

"My other surname comes from the other side of the blood relationship. My mother's surname is Chi, and my other name is Chi Yao."

"The Yao in my name is taken from the Yao star in the burning binary star in the center of our galaxy."

"I won't tell you directly, you can go back and search the star network and you will know who I am."

Regardless of his identity and name, Chi Yao felt that he should tell Shi Xing himself.

"As for the rest..."

After a pause, Chi Yao said: "After knowing my identity, if you have any questions about the questions I asked, go find Xu Jin."

"I know your thoughts."

"I heard it clearly."

"You should understand the questions I asked, if you are completely clear and have thought it through."

"What I mean is that you should think carefully and really consider it clearly..."

The words paused again, and Chi Yao's last voice was very soft, like a whisper.

"If your mind still hasn't changed by then--" "

I will give you a clear answer."

There was no time to digest the content of the royal family, and no idea of ​​Chi Yao's name had yet to be formed. When he said the last sentence, Shi Xing had only one thought in his mind.

The other party has backed down!

It gave both sides room to advance and retreat.

In other words, the words were not final.

That is to say... maybe, really, it is possible...

Shi Xing forgot how he returned to the room. He was in a daze. For a while, he felt that he had confronted Chi Yao three times that day, and he didn't know how he got through it. Then he was happy that his delusion might really come true.

So when Shi Xing really opened the Star Network and sent an inquiry message to Xu Jin at the same time, it was already very late.

Just when he tacitly agreed that there would be no reply.

The news search page and Xu Jin's voice message arrived at the same time.

[Chi is the surname of your majesty's mother￥#％… Your majesty's real name: Yao · #￥￥％# # · Qiu · Bellman]

[Your majesty told you? ]

Shi Xing was stunned.

Shi Xing: "?"

Your majesty?

Wait, Your majesty? ? ? !
