With the cold snow and ice of the forest as the background, Chi Yao walked in front of Shi Xing against the wind and snow.

Without wasting words, he asked Shi Xing to repeat the shooting action.

Shi Xing was a little nervous, but he still did it. Chi Yao: "Don't move, hold it."

The tall man in black combat uniform walked around Shi Xing and suddenly pointed out his posture, "Feet as wide as shoulders, backhand grip."

"Fu Qing is good at fighting, Xiang Fei is used to using mechas, and Qin Jue is best at opening battleships. The combat style of the North is because of their strong individual mental power, so people are weapons, and they are more accustomed to entering the battlefield alone."

"Among them, Fu Qing is the most likely to teach you these. He doesn't like cold weapons. He likes energy 'guns' and cannons stimulated by mental power as auxiliary weapons."

"But your grip is very standard."

Shi Xing's heart was lifted.

Chi Yao said firmly, "You won't learn these things if you don't go to the military academy."

"I participated in the customization of the Shuchao course, and I won't teach Blue Star people to fight."

Every time Chi Yao said a word, Shi Xing felt that the words hit his heart heavily, deafening.

Chi Yao walked in front of Shi Xing and stood still. His smoky gray eyes looked particularly cold against the background of the heavy snow.

"So, where did you learn all this?"

It was like the last sound of a bell, with a powerful voice, catching Shi Xing off guard.

It was unexpected, but also reasonable.

Perhaps, Chi Yao had doubts since he took the initiative to mention that he could use a crossbow as a weapon. His proficient use of the crossbow today only confirmed the doubts in the other party's heart that had not yet been asked.

Shi Xing's throat rolled a few times, and in the extremely cold weather, because of nervousness, sweat actually seeped out of his forehead.

Shi Xing couldn't control his reaction.

And these reactions fell into Chi Yao's eyes... Knowing that it was another sideways confirmation of "something fishy", Shi Xing closed his eyes, unwilling to see the disappointment in Chi Yao's eyes. There was

a long silence, and Shi Xing's heart was very confused.

After a long while, he opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse, "I'm going to tell you, Your Highness, you may not believe it."

Everything was too unbelievable.

Chi Yao hit the pain point directly, "Is it that I won't believe it, or you don't want to say it?"

The bell in Shi Xing's heart rang again, knocking him all over his body, and there was no place that was not numb.

Shi Xing's thoughts were confused, and he didn't even know what he was saying. "I don't want to lie to you."

Chi Yao: "Then don't lie to me."

Shi Xing was completely speechless.

Chi Yao's unyielding attitude made him feel like he was forced into a dead end for a moment or two, and he had to surrender immediately before he could beg for the other party's leniency. He...

"I..."

Just as he started, his hand that had suddenly taken a shooting posture was pushed back by someone. Shi Xing saw that Chi Yao had stood in front of him without knowing when. The next moment, the long fingers clasped his upper arm and lifted it up, allowing him to stand up straight.

"You are shaking."

With his eyelashes drooping, the four words were very light, almost uttered close to his ear.

Chi Yao was determined, "It doesn't look like a good memory."

After he finished speaking, Shi Xing shuddered again.

It was an instinctive reaction from the tension of his body, which was not under his control, nor was it what he wanted.

His thick long eyelashes were lifted, revealing his smoky gray pupils, and he looked at Shi Xing in an intimate and almost close manner.

Chi Yao was calm, while Shi Xing was uneasy and flustered.

Unable to bear being looked at, Shi Xing wanted to close his eyes again, but Chi Yao patted his hand on his shoulder and said, "Follow me."

Then, Chi Yao led Shi Xing and walked towards the snow bear hunting point.

Shi Xing's whole body was stiff. He didn't know where he was in a trance, and he didn't know what day it was. Chi Yao led him, and he followed the force and moved forward. His mind was unusually confused.

"Give me a gun."

Chi Yao ordered, and quickly placed several guns in front of him for him to choose.

Chi Yao took a small-caliber gun and used his mental power.

The long fingers holding Shi Xing were firm, but Shi Xing felt as if he was tied up by something. In his cognition, this contact had nothing to do with intimacy at the moment, but was just a movement to prevent him from running around.

Chi Yao asked him, "Can your mental power cure the beast core of the snow bear?" Shi

Xing said truthfully, "It should be possible."

The principles of treatment are the same, but they, the Blue Star people, never treat monsters like star beasts.

Chi Yao nodded, waving the muzzle of his gun in the air, and ordered, "Another one."

A snow bear was soon led in front of Chi Yao. Because of his strong mental power, people did not consume the snow bear as much as they did to Shi Xing. Therefore, when the snow bear walked in front of Chi Yao, it was so energetic that Shi Xing couldn't help but take a step back.

Subconsciously.

He reacted and his body had already retreated.

"Afraid?"

Shi Xing was speechless.

He was afraid, but not of the snow bear, but of some star beasts in his memory.

And when the spirited snow bear approached, the feeling of the past and the present strangely overlapped.

Chi Yao did a move that Shi Xing didn't expect.

He pulled the person in front of him and hugged Shi Xing from behind.

The arm on his waist was firm, and it was stretched out in front of him. Shi Xing felt that he was completely enveloped by the other party's aura.

Strong and safe.

"Your Highness?" Shi Xing's voice trembled.

Chi Yao rested his chin on Shi Xing's shoulder, and his warm breath drilled into Shi Xing's earlobe, slightly itching, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Chi Yao: "Where is the beast core?"

Shi Xing realized belatedly that Chi Yao was going to use a gun and bullet to hit the beast core to verify the possibility of what he said at the time.

Knowing that, Shi Xing still obediently told the location. Chi Yao moved his right arm slightly down, just beside Shi Xing, and noticed that the aim was a little off. Shi Xing took the initiative to reach out and hold Chi Yao's wrist to help fine-tune the target position.

Bang——

Shi Xing reported: "Hit."

Chi Yao stood up straight and did not let go of Shi Xing. He carried the man all the way to the snow bear. The wind drilled into the wound and cut the skin. Very quickly, the beast core that was hit by the bullet was cut open and exposed within the field of vision.

The bullet hole was tiny, and the beast core was indeed not broken. After observing for a while, the self-healing ability of the beast core was also working accordingly. The beast core that was not completely cut out was connected to the flesh and blood, and the mental power was repairing the outer wall at a very fast speed.

After getting the answer, there was no need to look anymore.

"Heal it." Chi Yao said.

Snow bears are an integral part of the ecology of the ice and snow forest. It is best not to kill them if possible.

Shi Xing nodded, and just as he stretched out his hand, he was held by the warm long fingers again. He asked him, "Will it be strenuous?"

Shi Xing shook his head: "No, Your Highness, they are only A-level."

The long fingers loosened, and Shi Xing's mental power pushed the shell from the wound to the snow. The beast core healed rapidly under Shi Xing's mental power. Chi Yao's mental power pressed the snow bear so hard that it could not move. Shi Xing raised his hand, and the flesh and blood wrapped around the beast core. After a while, the beast core sank into the body again, leaving only a small wound cut by the wind.

Chi Yao held Shi Xing and walked out for a distance, then released his mental power. The snow bear immediately stood up, suffered some torture, and ran into the depths of the forest without looking back.

On the way back, the airship was very quiet. Chi Yao did not speak, and Shi Xing sat upright and looked down at his legs, and did not speak.

Fu Qing praised Shi Xing loudly for a few times, but was interrupted by Xu Jin's look. He was silent the rest of the way.

The two snow bears that were killed were undoubtedly dinner. No matter how stupid Fu Qing was, he didn't understand at first. When he returned to his residence to observe Shi Xing and Chi Yao, he also felt something was wrong. He was very conscious of dinner. If Xu Jin didn't speak, he would keep his mouth shut.

Shi Xing ate without any taste.

Just after putting down the bowl, a chopstick of vegetables and a chopstick of bear meat were picked up in the bowl. Chi Yao said: "Too little, eat more."

Shi Xing nodded, and ate another bowl of crystal rice without knowing how hungry he was.

"Shi Xing, come with me, the others are free."

After dinner, as expected, Shi Xing was called into the room by Chi Yao.

It was not the study, but Chi Yao's bedroom.

"Sit down."

After entering the room, Chi Yao saw Shi Xing standing outside the suite in a restrained manner, and said.

Shi Xing did not sit on the sofa, but moved a chair and sat opposite Chi Yao, with his back straight and his palms down on his legs.

He looked like he was about to be scolded.

Chi Yao did not mean that at first, but seeing him like this, he did not force him and said directly: "I have a few questions to ask you, answer them truthfully."

Shi Xing nodded, heavily.

"Do you know that bullets cannot penetrate the beast core?"

Shi Xing nodded.

"Can the crossbow be improved according to your physical condition? Do you know this?"

Shi Xing nodded.

"Have you practiced fighting?"

Shi Xing closed his eyes in pain and nodded again.

"To what extent can you do it?" Chi Yao asked.

Shi Xing whispered, "You know the basics in the military academy, but your physical fitness is not as good as that of the imperial people, so you can only catch them by surprise, and practice some tricks."

"You know all?"

Shi Xing nodded painfully.

Chi Yao became interested, stood up, and went to the bedroom, but his voice did not stop, and asked again: "What else did you learn?" Shi

Xing answered in detail, "Some basic military knowledge, basic combat formations."

That's all, after all, he only stayed in the imperial capital for more than a year.

"No more?"

"No more."

Chi Yao came out, already changed into daily training clothes, and called Shi Xing to get up. After Shi Xing changed into training clothes, he took people to the energy shielding room. Xu Jin, Fu Qingyan and Changyue seemed to be unconcerned. As they passed by, the eyes of the three people were glued to them from behind.

After the people walked away, Fu Qing whispered: "Your Highness, are you going to take people to the training room?"

Xu Jin: "It seems so?"

Yan Changyue: "What happened?"

The three looked at each other, all of them couldn't figure out the reason.

All they could see was that the atmosphere between Chi Yao and Shi Xing was not right.

Xu Jin finally said, "Let them adjust on their own, maybe they will be fine after they come out?"

Yan Changyue and Fu Qing thought it made sense, but they couldn't help but glance towards the training room from time to time.

Once again, Chi Yao easily grabbed his throat, and Shi Xing's heartbeat was violent.

Chi Yao let go of his hand, not ready to continue, and sat down to summarize, "I do know a little bit, but I'm not proficient."

"It's the same training in military academy, but it's not particularly suitable for your physical fitness."

Chi Yao sat down, and Shi Xing felt it was not good to stand, so he sat down next to him and listened.

Chi Yao thought for a while, and asked Shi Xing again, "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Shi Xing lowered his head, "There are some personal things, some experiences, but these are all I know, and I won't hide anything else from you."

Chi Yao was sharp: "Is it experience or grudges?"

Shi Xing said nothing.

And silence is sometimes a kind of tacit consent.

Just when Shi Xing felt that it was time, Chi Yao didn't scold him outside, and now there were only two people, Chi Yao should not allow him to hide anything, only to hear Chi Yao let out a light breath, like a sigh.

"You remind me of some of the stories about the Blue Star people that my father told me."

The topic changed abruptly, and Shi Xing couldn't help but look up.

Chi Yao said: "The large-scale beast tide three hundred years ago united all the planets in the Twin Galaxy for the first time, creating a border and uniting to fight the enemy."

"But even so, Blue Star and the Blue Star people are still the most mysterious existence in our galaxy."

"Do you know that the Blue Star people have great destructive power?"

Shi Xing shook his head.

After hearing this, he couldn't help but feel a little yearning, and asked in a low voice, "What is it?"

Chi Yao shrugged, "I don't know."

"The top leaders of all planets know that they have abilities, but no one knows the details. The reason is probably that in a battle with an imbalance of power, only one strong Blue Star person can survive and return to the team." "

My father also asked the Blue Star companions of that year in private, and the answer he got was very interesting. He said that this ability cannot be used easily and can only be used when there is no way to retreat. In short, it cannot be used in normal combat."

"Of course, Blue Star is also very mysterious. Before Blue Star disappeared, no one from other planets in the Twin Galaxy had ever set foot on the territory of Blue Star. They were like an unknown mysterious existence. After the Empire and Blue Star signed the relevant treaty, the people of the Twin Galaxy also knew for the first time that you were born from trees."

Chi Yao looked at Shi Xing suddenly and said, "Just like you, mysterious."

"I have checked all the records of your life in the Tree Nest."

"From the time you were born to now, you can be seen in the video footage every year and every month. In other words, theoretically you have never left the Tree Nest since you were born."

"But this knowledge cannot be learned in a short period of time. Your behavior doesn't match your records."

Facing the light, Chi Yao's eyes were firm, "You have a temperament that is not cultivated in the Tree Nest."

A long finger suddenly stretched out, and Shi Xing was pressed on the back of his head. Chi Yao's facial features instantly enlarged in front of his eyes. The eye contact was abrupt, and Shi Xing felt as if the other party wanted to see deep into his body and see his soul.

The restraints were soon released, and Chi Yao said, "But you are not a liar. Your emotions are all in your eyes, and you can't hide them."

"If I have to say it, it's like you have a life experience that I can't understand."

"I think it's incredible, and you also think I won't believe it if you tell me."

"Is that right?"

Because of the eye contact, the two people were so close that Shi Xing could even feel Chi Yao's breath brushing against his cheek.

Shi Xing's whole body was stiff. He didn't expect Chi Yao to be able to guess to this extent.

After a long while, he nodded his chin lightly, which was considered as tacit consent.

Shi Xing's voice was hoarse, "It's not a particularly good experience. Your Highness, do you want to hear it?"

Chi Yao pointed at Shi Xing's eyes, "I've given you the answer."

"?"

Chi Yao: "I'll wait until the day you want to tell me."

"In fact, you may have thought of something wrong. I'm not curious about secrets."

The history of the royal family is complicated, and there are many secrets buried in the long river of time.

Secondly, as a monarch of a country, everyone has his own thoughts and it is impossible for him to be completely honest with him. If Chi Yao knows everything about everyone, it would be too tiring for him.

As long as it doesn't affect him or the empire, to be honest, Chi Yao can't even get interested in listening.

Shi Xing was puzzled and looked directly at Chi Yao, "But Your Highness... you keep asking."

His eyes were so cute that Chi Yao couldn't help but put his palm on Shi Xing's cheek.

Shi Xing's movements froze when he felt the warmth in his palm, but he didn't feel disgusted.

Chi Yao: "I asked you these questions today because I need to adjust your training plan according to your situation. There is also an important thing that I think is time to tell you and let you make a decision."

"I asked you before, not because I was curious about your experience, but because..."

Chi Yao's gray eyes were deep.

There were emotions rolling in his eyes that Shi Xing could not understand.

"What I really want to ask you is,"

the voice was light and fell into Shi Xing's ears, but the concern contained in it was particularly heavy.

"Xingxing, have you been bullied?"
