Shuchao provided three agreements that Shixing had to sign: a matching confirmation, a marriage agreement, and a Blue Star People's Maturity Empire Convention.

Chi Yao had to sign more.

He didn't mention the three that Shixing signed, but the others included -

a life commitment.

A responsibility commitment.

A risk notification confirmation.

A confirmation commitment for the Shuchao reminder clauses for marital relations.

There were also two other preconditions that would take effect immediately if something happened to the Blue Star people in their maturity period:

a consent form to be thoroughly investigated.

And a consent form to accept all the verdicts of the special court after the investigation.

After Shixing signed, the treaty in his hand was transferred to Chi Yao's desk.

After memorizing the royal family's surname for two days and being stuffed with the marriage history of the past two thousand years, Shi Xing looked at Chi Yao's hand signing and couldn't help but be curious about what name was written.

The two tables were not far away. Shi Xing slightly raised his chin and looked around, and saw it.

To his surprise, it was the two words Chi Yao.

Well, he thought...

"Very disappointed?" Chi Yao, who was signing with his head down, suddenly spoke.

Shi Xing: "?"

Chi Yao: "I saw that you looked very disappointed when you saw me signing." Shi

Xing glared: "When did you see it?"

Chi Yao: "I can feel it."

The mental perception is too high. If Chi Yao wants to, it is very easy to use his ability to stare at an entire tree nest.

But on weekdays, Chi Yao's mental power is mostly restrained. It

was only when it was suddenly mentioned that Shi Xing realized it.

Shi Xing choked, "I'm just curious, shouldn't you sign with... the royal name?" He spoke

in a lower and lower voice. There was curiosity, but there was also some joking in his heart.

Chi Yao raised his head and stared at Shi Xing. Shi Xing was sure that all his little thoughts had not escaped the other party's eyes.

After a playful look, Chi Yao did not care, but instead explained, "The royal name is too long, and all the names of the members are announced to the outside world. The treaties between planets will use the official name, the first name is handwritten, and the surname is stamped with the signature, but for the treaties within the empire, we generally use another name."

Without waiting for Shi Xing to ask again, Chi Yao took the initiative to explain, "It's convenient, and there are fewer cases of forgery."

People who have no intersection with the royal family generally don't know this situation. Once a contract with a royal signature and seal appears, there is no need to distinguish, just grab it and investigate.

Shi Xing: "Oh~"

Hearing that Shi Xing still had some disappointment in his tone, Chi Yao smiled, took a piece of white paper, wrote a few words, and threw it into the air. The paper floated and fell on Shi Xing's desk with the help of his mental power.

It was Chi Yao's royal name signature, but...

"The royal family surname also has abbreviations, which are also recognized in the country."

There were only four words on the paper: Yao~Berman

All the in-marriage families in the middle were included in a wavy line.

Shi Xing was amazed.

Shi Xing: "But, didn't Xu Shiguan say two days ago that omission is disrespectful to the history of the empire?"

Chi Yao said in a brisk voice: "Yes, so we use the second name."

Shi Xing: "..."

He understood, meaning, why can't he see Chi Yao write his full name, right!

Shi Xing's silence made Chi Yao's mouth curve even more as he bowed his head to sign. Shi Xing realized belatedly: "You deliberately explained it in such detail,

didn't you?" Chi Yao's smile did not fade: "Didn't you ask first?" "

."

Not denying is admitting, it was intentional.

Seeing Shi Xing's silence getting longer and longer, and Chi Yao's smile showing a faint tendency to be more cheerful, worried that the Blue Star people who had finally come back would tear up the agreement on the spot, Officer Xu interrupted and said, "Sign quickly, don't tease Xing Xing, the people from the Elders' Council are still waiting in the back, and there are still a lot of documents that need your confirmation today."

Chi Yao raised his eyebrows and finally stopped talking.

After Shi Xing signed, Shuchao stamped his copy and gave it to him. When carefully putting it into the file bag, Shi Xing looked at Chi Yao's cursive signature, moved his fingers slightly, and put the casually written one into the agreement and put it into his own file bag.

After that, Shuchao gave instructions to the responsible persons individually. They were personally responsible for the management.

Shi Xing was taken out by Xu Shiguan to formally inform him of some living arrangements.

Xu Jin's first sentence had nothing to do with future plans. He explained in a rather fatherly way, "His Highness is now very stable in dealing with the outside world, but in fact, his personality is not entirely dull. You will know later what kind of person he is..."

"In short, he will be more casual with people who are close to him."

The words "close to him" made Shi Xing dizzy, and he said very unconfidently, "Really, really?"

Xu Jin's expression was gentle and affirmative, "Of course, you are his family."

The word "family" has such an unusual meaning that Shi Xing felt bubbles of fantasy rising in his heart, gurgling, and giving him indescribable joy.

Xu Jin: "Let's talk about the future arrangements."

"When Blue Star people enter maturity, their mental power is unstable, and their skin will involuntarily absorb the mental power they come into contact with, so Tree Nest has always suggested waiting until after maturity..." What

Xu Jin said is also the situation of the vast majority of Blue Star people in the Empire after they are matched.

Because the situation of Blue Star people is unstable, even if the marriage relationship is effective, Tree Nest has suggested, and it has been recognized by the vast majority of families in the Empire - it is best to live separately before maturity.

"Of course, it's only temporary. You and His Highness... I think there should be some time in between for you to get to know each other. You can live together anytime you want in the future."

Shi Xing's ears blushed at the last sentence, and she quickly clarified, "Just arrange it normally, that's all."

Xu Jin: "Another consideration is that His Highness's mental power is unstable, and the disorder period will be advanced this year. He has already had a mental power leak in the Tree Nest. For your safety, this is the best arrangement."

Speaking of this, Xu Jin's voice sank slightly. The doctor's examination of Chi Yao's spiritual sea two days ago did not turn out well.

"But I will arrange your room on one side. My room and the rooms of the accompanying military officers and attendants will be a little further away."

"You can get the paper and electronic versions of the marriage certificate when you leave the tree nest."

"Due to the need for strict protection and low-profile during your maturity, the royal family will not disclose any information about you to the outside world during this period."

"Therefore, the royal family will officially announce you and your relationship with His Highness, and your wedding will be held after the maturity period according to custom. Is there a problem?"

Shi Xing shook his head.

In the past, alien forces invaded and used Blue Star people to capture Imperial military officers. Since then, the whereabouts of Blue Star people in their mature period have been kept secret.

"You will have to learn a lot in your future life. You already know this. The details..."

Officer Xu did not talk for long. After the routine notification, he let Shi Xing go free to meet the people of the Elders' Council.

Shi Xing returned to the small living room with a smile on his face, holding several documents belonging to him and Chi Yao's perfunctory signature.

Not long after sitting, he received a message from Chi Yao on the communicator.

[I still have a long time to finish my work here]

[I will stay in Ancheng for a few days, but after leaving the tree nest today, I probably won’t come back]

Chi Yao: [If you are tired of waiting, you can walk around the tree nest. If there is anything you want to take away, take it with you] Shi Xing

looked at it several times and confirmed it. He was probably afraid that he would miss the place where he grew up after leaving the tree nest.

Although he should not be in this situation, Chi Yao asked him to walk around because he really wanted to go somewhere.

He wanted to go to the orchard and say goodbye to the mother tree.

I don’t know when I will come back next time. This year’s blue fruit is not ripe yet, and I won’t be able to see the next batch of little blue star people.

The mother tree is alive. Although it can’t speak, there is a subtle connection between it and the blue star people.

Once they enter the area of ​​the mother tree's spiritual power, they will be able to feel the unique spiritual power fluctuations.

There were no words, but Shi Xing knew clearly that he was leaving.

The spiritual power projected from the mother tree to Shi Xing increased, as if it was reluctant to let him go. Shi Xing went all the way from the outer circle to the inner garden. The guard saw him and asked the administrator. Chi Yao's voice cleared him through the communicator.

"I'm leaving again."

"Next time I come back, I shouldn't be as ferocious as last time."

"Do you think I can successfully survive the maturity period this time?"

Shi Xing said to himself, putting his face against the tree trunk.

Shi Xing smiled and murmured, "I think so."

After a while, a leaf brushed against Shi Xing's cheek driven by his spiritual power. Shi Xing held the leaf in his hand and decided to take it as a souvenir when he left the tree nest. He

walked a little further away and waved to the mother tree. The tree, which was so tall that the top was invisible, swayed slightly with the wind, as if it was also saying goodbye to him.

It was nothing at first, but after seeing the mother tree, he really felt a little reluctant to leave.

It reminded Shi Xing of the last time he returned to Ancheng after his spiritual sea withered. The mother tree cast a lot of spiritual power. Even though he knew it was in vain, he still tried for a long, long time.

So when Shi Xing stepped on the fallen leaves and lowered his head to see a pair of high heels, he was stunned for two seconds.

Her eyes were raised, her calves were straight, and her skirt was below the knee. It was the elegant and reserved length that older women in the imperial capital loved the most. She had a slender figure and her clothes were gorgeous. She was holding a small retro sun umbrella, which was covered with embroidery and reflected sparkling colors in the sun.

The umbrella cover blocked most of her face.

Only a pair of red lips were exposed.

Shi Xing's heart suddenly seemed to be grasped by someone.

The umbrella cover was slightly raised, revealing a delicate face. When he looked into the eyes that looked exactly like Lu Lu's, Shi Xing certainly knew who was coming. Sometimes he even felt that even if he forgot Lu Lu, he would not forget his mother.

Princess Tan Shao.

It was exactly her.

"Hello, sorry to bother you with your request."

The voice was neither fast nor slow, revealing a natural superiority.

Shi Xing's face showed no expression.

It was difficult for him to have any expression either.

Tan Shao smiled and waited for Shi Xing's response.

There was a moment of silence between the two of them. The woman just smiled like that, without introducing herself, as if she had to wait for Shi Xing to respond to her previous sentence.

She finally waited.

Shi Xing said in a flat voice, "If you know it's presumptuous, you shouldn't have come."

Tan Shao's smile froze.

He didn't expect Shi Xing to speak to him in this tone.

Tan Shao hesitated: "Do you know who I am?" Shi

Xing asked instead of answering, "Then do you know who my boss is?"

After confirming that there was no joking on Shi Xing's face, Tan Shao could no longer laugh.
