Chapter 38: Stripping



Although it's "maybe", everyone has a scale in their heart. In silence, everyone has almost acquiesced to this situation.

After saying the most crucial sentence, Shi Xing didn't make any sound again.

With a guess in his mind, Chi Yao pinched the back of the child's neck, felt his steady breathing, and confirmed that he fell asleep because he was too tired. He stroked Shi Xing's back gently.

No one was at ease that night.

"Let's take the temperature." Chi Yao said, and his voice was hoarse after such an experience.

The nurse hurried forward and measured several places, confirming that "it's going down."

Chi Yao took a look, "It's still a little high."

He touched Shi Xing's cheek, and the contact was normal. The spontaneous mental absorption of mature Blue Star people seemed to have stopped working.

It should be because of absorbing too much energy at one time. "I'll

hold

him. Those who can be tested, get ready. Test them all."

Chi Yao ordered.

In the blink of an eye, another half hour had

passed. Xu Jin saw that Chi Yao's pajamas were really wrinkled by Shi Xing. Seeing that he was not tidy at all, he was afraid that Chi Yao would feel uncomfortable. He quietly suggested that he put Shi Xing down and take a shower and tidy up, but Chi Yao refused.

"If there is no problem, Shi Xing should be able to return to normal soon. I'll wait a moment."

"Don't worry."

Chi Yao said.

On the one hand, Xu Jin felt sorry for Chi Yao, but on the other hand, he felt that it should be so.

Time passed by, and among all the people on the two spaceships, only Shi Xing, who had fallen asleep, was the most relaxed.

Two hours later, Shi Xing's body temperature returned to normal. Under the persuasion of Xu Jin and Yan Changyue, Chi Yao was finally willing to put him down. The moment he let go of the sofa, Chi Yao realized that half of his shoulder had been numb.

"Uncle Xu, you stay for a while. When the data of Shixing's spiritual sea returns to normal, you ask the nursing robot to give him a bath and change his clothes."

"Changyue, change the bedding."

"Fu Qing, you stay and help them if they need anything."

"Withdraw half of the people from the main ship to rest, and the other half continue to build a barrier to cover the two spaceships and guard it."

"The doctors and nurses who are usually in charge of Shixing will stay, and the others can go back as well."

Feeling that there was nothing left out, Chi Yao said, "I'll go back and clean up, and come back when I'm done."

Xu Jin: "You have consumed a lot of mental energy today, otherwise..."

Chi Yao refused, "No, it feels better to look at me."

Xu Jin knew that his persuasion was useless, so he shut up.

After toiling until late at night, when Shi Xing saw that there was indeed no major problem, he arranged for medical guards to keep watch. Chi Yao asked the officers on duty to remove the barrier. The next moment, he used his mental power to completely sweep the area and used his mental power to cover the energy aura leaked by Shi Xing.

"It's not safe here. Let the driver go at full speed tonight and put some people on duty on both ships."

Rubbing his tired forehead, Chi Yao finally said, "That's it. You've worked hard. Everyone go back and rest." After

a few hours of light sleep, when he woke up the next day, the doctor reported that all of Shi Xing's data had fallen back to normal thresholds.

There was no problem in any aspect, but he was still sleeping and not awake.

Chi Yao: "It should be a self-protection mechanism of the spiritual sea. Let's wait for him to fall asleep first. It's okay

." After breakfast, he went to see Shi Xing. The child was sleeping so hard that he was buried in the quilt. Chi Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he pulled the quilt off Shi Xing's face. He

said helplessly, "Isn't he afraid of suffocating himself?" After taking a nap, the elders' meeting called in. Xu Jin hung up on the grounds that Chi Yao was resting.

Chi Yao knew what it was, but he didn't care after waking up.

He called Shuchao first. He told the manager about Shi Xing's situation, which made him stunned.

"A second talent?"

The administrator's head was buzzing, "Hasn't he already awakened a talent? Is the polarization of the Blue Star people so serious? Can the high-level ones awaken a second talent?!"

It was really unheard of.

Chi Yao: "I just don't know, so I contacted the Tree Nest."

"When the Tree Nest was first established, the optical computer imported a series of data brought from Blue Star. They also intervened and participated in the formulation of the talent assessment that year."

Administrator: "Yes."

Chi Yao: "Then bring the optical computer over."

For a moment, the administrator thought he was hallucinating.

Chi Yao: "We are staying outside a city now. Shi Xing's condition is not completely stable yet, and we don't know if his mental power will leak again. For safety reasons, the two spaceships will stay here until his condition is confirmed before leaving."

"So it's impossible to turn back to Ancheng."

"But I want to know his specific situation now and what happened, the sooner the better."

The administrator understood.

Shi Xing was not convenient to move, so His Majesty decided to let them move the optical computer that took up at least three classrooms to meet them.

Administrator: "..."

The administrator thought hard and said, "What should we use to transport it? A spaceship?"

Chi Yao: "Last night I ordered the escort team to empty a mothership and send it to Ancheng. It will arrive in the afternoon. Bring the optical computer and detection equipment, and arrange a few teachers who are familiar with the Blue Star people... Can we meet tomorrow?"

Administrator: "…………"

Even the mothership has been arranged. Knowing that there is no room for maneuver in this matter, and also worried about Shixing, the administrator and Chi Yao asked again about the personnel requirements, and set the arrival date as tomorrow.

After turning off the communication and dealing with the documents sent by the House of Representatives, Xu Jin knocked on the door.

"Come in."

"Your Highness, the palace has reported back today about what you asked me to find out."

Chi Yao took the document box handed over by Xu Jin and opened it. It was an encrypted copy. He read it quickly, and his finger tapped the table unconsciously, moving slower and slower. At the end, he stopped.

Chi Yao: "Interesting."

Chi Yao threw the document to Xu Jin and sneered, "I stayed at the border for too long. The people in the imperial capital have lived too comfortably in the past few years. They really thought I would agree to anything."

Xu Jin lowered his head and said nothing.

Chi Yao was well educated by the late emperor and empress on domestic affairs. He had his own ideas and did not need to intervene.

Sure enough, Chi Yao had already made up his mind, "Didn't the Council of Elders say they wanted to have a meeting with me? Let's schedule it in the afternoon. Let all the managers attend. I want to see how many people there are... That's what I mean."

Xu Jin didn't say it explicitly, and he didn't ask. As an attendant, he quietly contacted and arranged it.

But there was no meeting in the afternoon. It didn't happen.

Because Shi Xing woke up.

A group of people rushed to Shi Xing's room. After waking up, Shi Xing was not in a very good mood. He ate something and did another test.

Chi Yao accompanied him throughout the whole process. When he was drawing blood, he looked at the dense needle holes on Shi Xing's arm and sighed softly.

Shi Xing thought Chi Yao was worried about him, and whispered, "It's okay, Your Highness, I'm not afraid of needles."

Chi Yao glanced at Shi Xing, shook his head, and said anxiously, "You can still disobey the instructions. When this hand is full, the other one will be on top."

Shi Xing: "..."

Having said that, Chi Yao asked about it after the blood was drawn. He was told that the blood test data was just a routine check, and that if it was not necessary, this test could be skipped recently.

Fortunately, all the test results fell back to the normal range.

The doctor came to record Shi Xing's physical condition, and Shi Xing answered one by one.

"I still don't have much strength, I feel very tired."

"My spiritual sea has changed, I don't know how to describe it."

"Talent and ability... I don't know, I haven't found anything different about myself yet."

Chi Yao reminded, "Your spiritual strength seems to have increased." Shi

Xing was stunned, tried it, but still unsure.

As soon as he used his ability, his fatigue increased exponentially. Knowing that it was the self-protection mechanism of the spiritual sea, Chi Yao stopped Shi Xing from mobilizing the spiritual sea again, "Don't be stubborn, have a good rest."

After the medical staff left, Chi Yao said that Shuchao would come to test Shi Xing's ability again.

"Of course, the premise is that you are fine."

"If you are still tired tomorrow, you have to let them wait for a while until you feel better."

Shi Xing was a little embarrassed, "If I can't mobilize my spiritual sea, then the administrators will have to wait for me all the time."

Chi Yao: "That's their job."

Knowing that there was no room for negotiation, Shi Xing looked at Chi Yao eagerly after a few more words, and asked tentatively, "Your Highness, do you want to see my spiritual sea?"

Chi Yao was stunned by the question, "Haven't I recovered yet?"

Shi Xing sat upright, looking particularly well-behaved, "But it's not very uncomfortable to have my spiritual sea checked. I can accept it."

"If you are worried, just take a look."

Chi Yao then realized that Shi Xing was afraid that he would worry, and was comforting him.

He couldn't breathe out the breath stuck in his chest. Thinking of some serious rejections, he swallowed it down. Chi Yao reached out and patted Shi Xing's head, softening his tone. "If you're afraid that I'll worry, just cooperate well these few days. It will be better than anything else."

Shi Xing nodded heavily.

The next day, the mothership carrying the Shuchao group arrived on time.

The good thing was that Shi Xing's condition could also be tested once that day.

Chi Yao had to make up for the elders' meeting that he had postponed in the afternoon, so he asked Xu Jinfuqing to accompany Shi Xing to the mothership while he held a meeting on the main ship.

The meeting lasted for half an hour, and Chi Yao was silent the whole time. He only said a few words at the end.

It was difficult to deal with him as soon as he opened his mouth.

Chi Yao looked at the projection of the portrait in front of him and concluded, "So, what this means is that Shi Xing, as my partner, should have the rights granted by the Empire in the Council of Elders, in the Senate, and in the Royal Guards, but you are going to deprive him of these rights before he reaches maturity, right?"

President Ren Yanyong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it is out of..."

Chi Yao raised his hand and interrupted him, "The considerations behind this decision by the Council of Elders have been made very clear before the meeting and in the past few days. I don't need to hear it again."

"What I want to ask now is, the Council of Elders will not change this decision, right?"

"Just tell me the result."

Ren Yanyong's smile froze.

The vice president spoke for him, "Your Majesty, this is a decision made by the Council of Elders after serious consideration."

"All meetings that make decisions are recorded by holographic projection."

Chi Yao curled his lips, "That means there is no room for negotiation."

"Got it."

Just three words, but no agreement.

The president and vice president wanted to say something else, but Chi Yao didn't listen, "Let's stop here, adjourn the meeting."

Neither agreeing nor vetoing, people were unsure.

Everyone in the Council of Elders looked at each other. As the most important participant, Chi Yao disconnected the communication first.

The moment the holographic projection disappeared, the Council of Elders could not help but whisper.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"Do you disagree?"

"It doesn't look like it. If you disagree, your Majesty will veto it immediately."

President Ren Yanyong coughed, "That's enough. Your Majesty has his own plans. He will inform us when there is a result. The meeting is adjourned."

With the final word, the management staff of the Council of Elders finally left one after another.

In the end, only a few vice presidents and the president were left.

The vice president who spoke on behalf of Ren Yanyong just now said, "Why do I feel that your Majesty will not agree..."

But he did not explicitly refuse.

Ren Yanyong thought about it and just waved his hand, "Your Majesty will return to the imperial capital soon. Let's see what he says when he comes back."

This is ready to counter the situation.

The vice presidents bowed, saluted and withdrew.

On Chi Yao's side, after turning off the projection, there was a knock on the door.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Fu Qing's voice was full of excitement.

When he walked in, his emotions were also high. Chi Yao's mind was still immersed in the unpleasant meeting just now. Seeing Fu Qing like this, he was puzzled and asked, "What good thing happened?"

"Good thing, great good thing."

Fu Qing was excited and ran all the way back, panting while talking.

"Your Highness, Shi Xing really awakened the second talent."

Chi Yao was surprised, "Isn't this what everyone has guessed."

"There's more! Please listen to me!" Fu Qing rarely interrupted Chi Yao's words, and said rashly without regard for etiquette, "Shi Xing's evaluation level has also changed."

Chi Yao was stunned.

Fu Qing smiled brilliantly, "The optical computer gave a 3S rating this time."

"SSS grade!"

He was so happy that he shouted, "Your Highness, Shi Xing has reached the basic level to heal you!"
