The manager returned to the office, but did not see Tan Shao, so he was shocked.

He asked the assistant at the door and was told that Tan Shao had left about half an hour ago. His mind raced, and he turned and hurried to the orchard.

But before he left the main building, he ran into Shi Xing who had returned.

The manager called out hesitantly, "Shi Xing..."

Shi Xing greeted the manager politely.

After thinking for a moment, the manager took Shi Xing to his office.

"Did you meet anyone on the way?"

The manager asked nervously after closing the door.

Shi Xing understood, "Are you asking me if I have met the princess?"

The manager: "."

Since he could ask in this way, the answer was already very clear.

Shi Xing said frankly, "I saw her on the way back from the tree garden. She came to see you today, right?"

When he saw Tan Shao, Shi Xing probably guessed how the other party came.

The security of the Tree Nest has always been good. Today is the day when he and Chi Yao come back to sign the contract. The entire Tree Nest must have been prepared early in the morning, and no idle people will be allowed in.

In addition, His Highness's mental power level is very high. Five officers of at least SS level can sneak into the Tree Nest and cannot escape his perception. Then there is only one possibility for Tan Shao to enter the Tree Nest smoothly. She walked in openly through the main gate.

Tan Shao is not a candidate, but she has a prominent status. She can enter the Tree Nest at this time and be allowed in. It goes without saying who she wants to see.

The administrator said: "Yes, recently Lu Lu seems to be... Young Master Lu is young and has no sense of propriety. It is not a good idea to keep pestering you. The news that His Highness took you away has been reported back to the Council of Elders. After a while, the entire imperial capital's senior management should have heard about it. This matter cannot be kept secret for long."

"She wants to know who your supervisor is, so I thought it is better to open it than to block it. When she sees His Highness, she will naturally restrict Lu Lu."

In fact, this is indeed the case. Without even waiting for the administrator to tell him in person, when he met Xu Jin in the corridor, Tan Shao knew who Shi Xing was in charge.

After knowing this, his attitude changed drastically, from wanting to see two people at the beginning to wanting to see Shi Xing alone.

The administrator said: "I rejected her request to see you."

"She insisted on staying in my office until I changed my mind. I couldn't chase her away because of her status. I didn't expect..."

Tan Shao saw Shi Xing going to the orchard and followed him out. Shi

Xing nodded, not surprised, and didn't want to embarrass the administrator, saying: "It's really hard to handle from your perspective."

"You have planned it very well for me."

Without waiting for the administrator to ask what he and Tan Shao had said, Shi Xing took the initiative to say, "The princess has promised me that she will restrain Lu Lu. I don't want to bring this matter to His Highness. After a year or two, Lu Lu will wake up and everything will be fine."

Realizing that Shi Xing didn't want to talk about the content of the conversation, the administrator finally nodded.

He then instructed, "His Highness is a very responsible person. If there is anything that cannot be solved, you can discuss it with him. Don't force yourself."

After that, he looked Shi Xing up and down and said in a tone of an elder.

"Spend your maturity well."

Knowing that the manager was wholeheartedly considering every Blue Star person in Tree Nest, Shi Xing nodded.

"Why is there only this? What about the others?"

Chi Yao flipped through the treaty sent by the Elders Council and raised his eyebrows.

He handed it to Xu Jin, who checked it and found that a lot was missing. He flipped through the documents and said, "There are only the most basic confirmation materials from the Elders Council for Your Highness's marriage, the royal assets of the partner after marriage, the confirmation of the partner's corresponding responsibilities and rights in the empire, and the detailed confirmation of the partner's rights with the Elders Council. None of them are here."

Chi Yao looked at the person who came from the imperial capital, "There are only the most basic consent to join the royal family, the royal identity verification form, etc., which are just for formalities. The important one is missing. And you rushed here from the imperial capital overnight. The Elders Council handled this matter. Do you want me to exaggerate or do you want to hear any other comments from me?"

Ren Hong had a smile on his face since he entered the door. Now that his work was pointed out, he bowed respectfully with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, it's like this."

"You didn't hear anything about the imperial capital before the match, and there are many documents to prepare after the match. The ones you and Minister Xu pointed out are extremely important. In view of the special ethnicity of your Majesty's partner this time, the Elders' Council has been meeting every day to draft them urgently."

"The president asked me to bring the basics first, and the important ones. Once they are drafted, he will contact you in person for your review."

Chi Yao did not comment.

This reason obviously could not convince him.

He did not speak, and Xu Jin pointed out mercilessly: "These documents are clearly stipulated in laws and regulations. The redrafting is only to add and delete some details in response to the differences in each emperor's partner. Meetings every day? Is it necessary to hold meetings every day for such a small workload?"

Ren Hong just smiled.

Chi Yao tapped the table with his long finger. "That old fox Ren Yanyong, is he planning something? He is afraid that the Elder Council and I will disagree when the documents are sent to us, and he will make me not sign any documents in the end?"

Ren Hong's mouth stiffened.

Xu Jin also came to his senses.

The Elder Council and he have the same attitude on the matching. They both hope that Chi Yao will take a Blue Star person away. It was Chi Yao's idea that the Elder Council brought the documents today, saying that they should be signed together with the documents of Tree Nest.

And the documents of Tree Nest happened to include the matching confirmation letter and the marriage agreement.

It can be said that the matching is settled and officially takes effect only after signing.

If the Council of Elders has any objections to Shi Xing's duties and rights in the royal family, they would not dare to bring it up at this time and confront Chi Yao. If there is a commotion, His Majesty will not even sign the information of the Tree Nest, and the Council of Elders will end up losing more than they gain...

So...

"Does the Council of Elders have any objection to the duties and rights that the young prince should have in the royal family in the future?" Xu Jin asked seriously.

Ren Hong's forehead was slightly sweaty, and his voice became more respectful. "How could that be? It's just that this is the first time that the Imperial Majesty's spouse is a Blue Star person, and they don't have the concept of family and parents. Some important documents will have more changes, and the elders will inevitably be more cautious in the wording and details, wanting to do it perfectly."

Chi Yao sneered, "It's better this way."

Chi Yao: "You know my temper, go back and tell your dad that everything must be done according to the regulations, and there is no room for negotiation on other things."

Ren Hong is the eldest son of Ren Yanyong, the president of the Elders' Council.

Xu Jin also felt something was wrong, holding the documents and hesitantly asked, "Then Your Highness, are you going to sign these today?"

Chi Yao stretched out his hand, "Sign, first settle your identity, and then you can move forward with your personal property and the renovation of the palace rooms. The Elders' Council is procrastinating, I want to wait for them, I want to see what surprises they can give me later."

Ren Hong's smile was already very reluctant.

Fortunately, after this wave of ridicule, Xu Jin and Chi Yao cooperated very quickly in signing. It took only a few minutes to sign and stamp. After Ren Hong took it back to the Elders' Council for filing, it would take effect.

Ren Hong said a few more congratulations on the newlyweds.

Just then, Xu Jin informed Fu Qing that the meeting was over. Shi Xing, who had already met up with Fu Qing, and the two of them went to the door to wait for them.

When Ren Hong saw Shi Xing, his eyes lit up.

This look was too familiar. Shi Xing had seen it on Xu Shiguan's face and on Fu Qing's face. Now...

Shi Xing smiled politely and nodded to Ren Hong.

Ren Hong immediately introduced himself, "Hello, young prince. I'm Ren Hong from the Elders' Council. Today I'm here to deliver some paperwork to His Majesty. We will have many opportunities to meet in the future. Please give me your guidance."

Shi Xing was not yet accustomed to the official language and uttered two words: "Hello."

Ren Hong looked at Shi Xing with bright eyes, "Can I take a picture of you? Our president has always wanted to meet..."

Before he could finish his words, Shi Xing was picked up by Chi Yao who had walked up to him out of nowhere and said, "No."

"Since those documents have kept you in meetings every day, I guess Ren Yanyong doesn't have time to look at photos now."

Ren Hong: "..."

Chi Yao: "When he finishes it, he will meet him. There's no rush."

​​Without waiting for Ren Hong to stop him, Chi Yao had already pushed Shi Xing away. After walking

a distance, Shi Xing still looked back at Ren Hong in confusion. The staff of the Council of Elders stretched out their hands and stood still, as if they wanted to keep him, but they didn't dare to touch Chi Yao.

It looks a bit, pitiful?

But when the group walked a distance, everyone's attitude seemed to be completely different.

Fu Qing asked, "Has the Council of Elders come up with any new tricks?"

Shi Xing had a big question mark in his heart.

Chi Yao's attitude was also intriguing, "Not yet."

Another attendant who had been following Chi Yao and usually spoke little, the attendant Yan Chang Yue Yan, rarely spoke, "But I can't guarantee that I won't do anything naughty in the future."

Xu Jin: "Just wait and see."

Shi Xing was the only curious baby left in the audience, making a fuss.

I don't know who I was looking at, but in the end, I looked at His Highness beside me, my sea-blue eyes bursting with curiosity.

Chi Yao thought his expression was a little funny, so he reached out and tapped Shi Xing's forehead, explaining, "It's hard to explain it to you now, just remember that they are there to regulate the behavior of the royal family."

"As for the specific performance, it's not complicated to summarize it."

"They can't do two practical things, but they are best at face projects."

Ah...

If you can't understand what they are saying, you're stupid.

Shi Xing asked cautiously, "Yes, they don't get along with us?"

Xu Jin said pertinently, "It's determined by their position. The royal family has great power, and they regulate and supervise the exercise of the royal family's power. The two are natural opposites. Do you think they will get along?"

Shi Xing said "Oh" and understood.

Chi Yao: "Uncle Xu will explain everything to you before we return to the capital. We are not in a hurry to return. We need to go to two nearby cities first. The airship will take a short trip."

Shi Xing nodded and said obediently, "I will learn well."

Before leaving the tree nest, they met another person.

Admiral Fei Chu who has been receiving treatment.

Chi Yao said before that he would take Shi Xing to see Fei Chu after he woke up, but he didn't go because it happened to be before the matching banquet. After Shi Xing proposed to choose Chi Yao, the relationship between the two was not clear at that time, so Chi Yao didn't mention it.

The treatment has basically been completed, Hua Li is no longer coming, and Yun Wu will stay for a while. He will leave only after he is sure that there is no problem.

He asked Shi Xing to prepare the medical expense list himself, but he has never given it to Chi Yao.

After the matching, Chi Yao wrote one himself and brought it with him to meet Fei Chu today.

Fei Chu thanked Shi Xing in person, and the cousins ​​talked for a while. Chi Yao sent the medical expenses to Fei Chu's communicator.

Shi Xing glanced at it and felt that there were a lot of things. He was not familiar with Fei Chu, so it was not good to stare at it all the time.

After reading it, Admiral Fei Chu was silent for a while. After a while, he hesitated and said, "Is this list... the wedding gift I want to give?"

Chi Yao: "No, it's the medical expenses."

Fei Chu hissed softly.

Chi Yao: "If you don't want to give it to me, then send it to my aunt. It's just right. I think she will have a lot to say about your injury when she knows it."

Fei Chu immediately gave up the battle, "No, brother, cousin, considering I'm so badly injured, please leave me a way out."

Chi Yao: "If I don't leave you a way out, I wouldn't have sent you to the tree nest in a battleship."

Chi Yao: "After you are disabled, you won't have to go to the battlefield. My aunt and I won't worry about you disobeying orders anymore."

Fei Chu took another deep breath and felt that every word Chi Yao said was a trap. He became more cautious and prudent from then on and sent this big Buddha away.

Before leaving, Chi Yao threw down the last time bomb, "By the way, I've given you a three-month vacation. After you are discharged from the hospital, you should go directly back to the imperial capital, not back to the army."

When he left, the sad voice of Admiral Fei Chu could still be heard faintly in the corridor -

"Isn't this the same as telling my mother? I have to tell her in person, don't!"

Later, Shi Xing learned from Fu Qing that when killing the star beast, Admiral Fei was a little too aggressive. When he had the advantage, he wanted to kill it with one blow, but he fell into a trap and was seriously injured.

Fu Qing: "But my commander was also considering His Highness. His Highness... His spiritual sea is no longer suitable for using spiritual power before the doctor arrives this year. If it weren't for the heavy blow from my commander, it wouldn't be so easy for His Highness to kill the star beast later."

Fu Qing sighed, "But I can understand why His Highness is so angry. It was too dangerous. If you hadn't happened, and Doctor Yun hadn't arrived in time, and the commander had been killed, His Highness would not have felt good. The royal family itself..."

At this point, Fu Qing gritted his teeth and cursed.

"It would be great if we could kill all these things one day."

"Every year, there is a beast tide, and the level is getting higher and higher. When will it end?"

Shi Xing didn't know what to say. He lowered his head and just agreed, "Yes."

Later, this story was described in more detail by Yan Changyue.

After dinner, when he was strolling in the mansion to digest his food, Shi Xing thought of something else while talking.

The last time he filled the crack in Chi Yao's spiritual sea, he sensed a residual spiritual power of the star beast. He had no way at that time. Now, is this spiritual power still remaining in His Highness's spiritual sea?

Will it be uncomfortable every day?

There is no answer.

If you count it hard, this spiritual power has existed since they met.

But for so long, Shi Xing has never seen Chi Yao show anything unusual in his daily life.

But not showing it does not mean that it does not exist. Only Chi Yao himself knows the details.

As Xu Jinru said during the day, he went back and changed Shi Xing's room, moving it next to Chi Yao. Their room is in a corridor, and Xu Jinfu Qing and Yan Changyue's room are separated from them by a staircase, a long distance away.

Shi Xing thought about what happened during the day for a long time. At night, he hugged a pillow and knocked on Chi Yao's door.

When he knocked on the door, he felt uneasy, as if he felt a fluctuation of mental power.

When he went to explore again, it disappeared again. Shi Xing was not sure if it was his illusion.

After a few seconds, the door was opened by mental power, and Chi Yao's voice came out, "It's so late, what's the matter?"

Shi Xing walked in, Chi Yao was sitting on the sofa in pajamas, and in front of him, from the ceiling to the ground, was crowded with projection screens.

"Your Highness, did I disturb you?"

Shi Xing was uneasy.

"No, I want to deal with tomorrow's official business in advance. While I'm relaxed recently, I'll take you for a walk in Ancheng tomorrow." Chi Yao was multitasking as usual, his hands kept moving, and his mouth kept talking, "Last time Yun Wu suggested going out to play, I saw that you were very happy. Xu Jin also suggested that we go out together to increase our understanding."

Shi Xing was a new member, and there must be a lot of discomfort, so they need to take the initiative.

At this point, he suddenly felt something, paused, and finally turned to look at Shi Xing. After

his eyes settled and confirmed that his perception was correct, Chi Yao was surprised, "Why are you standing so straight? Did you do something wrong?" Shi

Xing didn't know if he had done anything wrong.

His body moved slightly unnaturally, and he said nervously, "I have two things to tell you."

Chi Yao patted the side of his sofa and motioned Shi Xing to sit down.

Shi Xing hesitated, and Chi Yao laughed, "It's not a report between superiors and subordinates. Aren't you afraid that I will drag you over if you keep standing?"

Shi Xing: "..."

There was no room for negotiation in Chi Yao's tone, but Shi Xing still sat over.

He sat down and rested his chin on the pillow he brought with him. He didn't speak, and Chi Yao didn't urge him, and continued to do his own thing.

Information on the cold projection screen changed. As the work progressed, Shi Xing's tension was relieved to a certain extent. After thinking for a while, he said, "Your Highness, before leaving, I want to see my friend again. You know, Shi Ran, the Blue Star man who treated Admiral Fei with me."

"Well, I want to say goodbye to him."

Chi Yao: "Have you set the time?"

"It's set."

Shi Xing reported the time and said, "It's not final yet. I want to ask you and then reply to him."

It was a period of time before they left Ancheng. They were scheduled to leave in the afternoon, and the morning was free. Shi Ran's time was set in the morning.

Chi Yao didn't say anything, just said, "Then let Fu Qing follow you."

He had plans and official business to deal with that morning.

Shi Xing nodded. He knew Chi Yao had other plans.

The next thing to talk about is business. Shi Xing prepared himself mentally before telling Tan Shao about the deal. He

didn't mention the specific name of the person, but just said that it was a classmate from Shuchao who had some problems with his spiritual sea. He used his ability to take a look and help him draw a distribution map of the diseased areas in his spiritual sea, so that he could shorten the treatment time.

Yes, the difficulty in treating Lu Lu's spiritual sea is that it is difficult to find the diseased areas.

After saying that, he added, "You don't use your ability much, so it won't consume much mental energy."

These were all found by him bit by bit for Lu Lu in the past. In fact, there was no need to look at them at all. The problems that troubled him at the time took so much time and energy. Now, with his eyes closed, he can point out the complicated problems. Each of them was the one he spent a lot of effort and time to find a treatment for.

Now I draw it and exchange it for five beast cores, which can be regarded as the waste memory in my mind.

"The main reason is that I just happen to have this talent, and we used to be classmates. He... I had a good relationship with him before."

Shi Xing: "Of course, if you think it's not suitable, forget it, I won't go."

Chi Yao glanced at Shi Xing, and Shi Xing couldn't see his mood.

Chi Yao asked: "Do you charge?"

"Yes, I want five beast cores, S-level."

Chi Yao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Shi Xing again, which made Shi Xing anxious. The man smiled and said, "Sure, it doesn't include treatment, it's dark enough." Shi

Xing was about to say that it would be cheaper, but then he heard Chi Yao continue to affirm.

"Good, from now on, we will follow this standard, starting with five beast cores."

Shi Xing: "..."

Shi Xing was puzzled, "Do you think it's expensive or cheap?"

"It's expensive." Chi Yao's eyes curved, "But I don't want you to go out and take over other patients. This price is just right, just enough to discourage people."

In other words, it was very discouraging.

Shi Xing: "…………"

Chi Yao: "It's not the classmate you have a good relationship with, right? I guess, from your tone, the relationship is very reluctant."

"It can't be the classmate who was pestering you last time that Fu Qing saw, right?!"

Shi Xing: "!"

Shi Xing was confused, and had no idea where Chi Yao had connected the information.

Chi Yao caught a glimpse of his expression and explained, "It's not hard to guess. If you wanted to be good friends, you would definitely throw out the relationship and plead for help from the beginning. But when you first mentioned this matter, you didn't show your willingness to help. You said "look at me", as if you would refuse if I was a little unhappy."

"Plus the last charge...it's quite obvious."

Shi Xing buried his face in the pillow and said in a muffled voice, "I'm transparent in front of you!"

It can be said that he can't hide anything in his mind anymore.

Chi Yao smiled and didn't lie to comfort Shi Xing, "Many people's minds are transparent to me."

"You're not the only one."

Shi Xing wailed, "Thank you, I don't feel comforted."

After saying that, a hand suddenly reached out and ruffled his hair.

Shi Xing almost jumped up because of the sudden contact, but when he realized who it was, he could only freeze in place.

Chi Yao seemed to be just a casual move, and retracted his hand very quickly, and asked him, "What about now?"

Shi Xing's ears were hot, and he covered his head. He didn't know what to say, and it seemed that he still didn't react.

"No, try again?"

Chi Yao said, changing his hand to handle the document, and pretended to raise his hand again.

Just after raising it, Shi Xing moved a long way to the side, "No, no, no need, yes, yes."

"I feel comforted!"

After saying that, he found that Chi Yao laughed happily.

And the raised hand did not move to the next step at all.

Shi Xing realized it belatedly, he seemed to be teased by His Highness again.

Shi Xing: "..."

Shi Xing: "..."

Shi Xing depressed: "If you say you didn't mean it, I will assume it's not true."

Chi Yao replied quickly, without any burden, "I didn't mean it."

Damn, it was obviously true!

Shi Xing buried his face in the pillow again, feeling awkward, but Chi Yao laughed out loud.

After a moment, Chi Yao said, "Go if you have your own considerations. I won't control you in everything. If you don't want to go into details, you don't have to. There's no need to be so cautious."

"Everyone has some privacy. I think I'm open-minded in this regard."

After leaving Chi Yao's room, Shi Xing thought about this conversation again before going to bed. He realized something and sat up suddenly.

Did His Highness...see that he didn't want to answer that question and interrupted him on purpose?

Hmm.

Combining this with Chi Yao's last sentence, Shi Xing realized that this possibility was very high. He held his head in distress.

On the one hand, he felt deeply that Chi Yao was good.

On the other hand, he couldn't help but worry about his future. If he could be seen through so easily, wouldn't he be controlled by His Highness in the future?

Without an answer, Shi Xing felt that he was most likely doomed.

He couldn't beat His Highness at this level, and there was no way he could play.

Lying back on the bed, Shi Xing felt that he was lying very peacefully.

He lay there with an air of resignation.

On the last day, Shi Xing met Shi Ran as promised, and exchanged signals with the officer of his choice.

Turning around, he saw Tan Shao again at the agreed place.

When they returned to the mansion, the attendants and His Highness had already boarded the spaceship and packed up. Shi Xing and Fu Qing could leave when they arrived.

After entering the spaceship, Chi Yao took a look at the beast core that Shi Xing had earned, and returned it to him with a smile.

Shi Xing leaned against the window, looking at the increasingly smaller Ancheng, without saying a word.

Chi Yao whispered from the side, "I'll be back."

Shi Xing nodded.

He knew.

And he'll come back next time.

He should be a doctor.
