The meeting was over.

Shi Xing got back half of the military power that belonged to him.

Before he could be happy, the chief clerk Wei Wan had just shouted that the meeting was over, and everyone hadn't moved yet. Suddenly, Ren Yanyong's projection disappeared.

Shi Xing was stunned, and the officers standing around were also surprised.

"What's wrong?" "

The device is offline?"

"It shouldn't be, it's not inside the Elders' Council..."

Without waiting for the officers to murmur, Vice President He Zhen took the lead and bowed, "Sorry, it's really rude, Your Majesty, please wait, I will go to the president's office to see what's going on?"

Chi Yao nodded.

He Zhuang also went offline. Within two minutes, she came back online and said, "President Ren just accidentally knocked over the equipment. The maintenance robot is still checking it. We have called the technicians from the Council of Elders to come over."

She used the communicator to project the scene of her office. Ren Yanyong bowed in their direction with a shy face. A robot beside him was repairing the equipment. After two seconds of display, He Zhuang smiled and closed it.

"The meeting is over. Your Majesty, do you need the president to use my equipment to go back online to say goodbye?"

Chi Yao: "No, you can go and help too."

"Okay, thank you very much, Your Majesty."

He Zhuang bowed gracefully again and disappeared.

"Wow, I've never seen such a scene before. President Ren can even knock down the equipment. Tsk."

"I really haven't seen it before. I thought the rules in the Elders' Council were all measured with a ruler. This kind of situation would never happen."

"Hahahahaha, are you guys immoral!"

A voice interrupted politely, "Normally this wouldn't happen. Maybe the equipment hasn't been inspected, so..."

The military officers then realized that Xu Mirou from the Elders' Council hadn't left yet, and they were suddenly embarrassed. After

a few seconds of silence, they didn't know who it was. The first person to say, "Well, ha, the meeting is over. Your Majesty, I still have a pile of military affairs to deal with, so I won't stay any longer. Goodbye." After

performing the ceremony and getting Chi Yao's approval, he disappeared with a whoosh.

The other officers looked at each other, too lazy to act anymore, and began to report to leave, all with eyes that were unwilling to interact with Xu Menrou.

When the last few officers were left, it was Xu Menrou who saluted again and took the initiative to say, "The Elders Council was really rude today, please don't take it to heart."

The officers dug their toes on the ground, repeatedly waved their hands and said no, but left the line faster than anyone else.

After the officers had left, Xu Menrou solemnly apologized to Chi Yao again, then asked to leave the line, got the nod, bowed again, and disappeared.

Fei Chu fanned himself with his hands, "The etiquette of the Elders Council is too perfect, it makes me sweat."

It's too complicated, and the rough officers can't stand it.

Chi Yao: "I didn't ask you to perform the ceremony like this normally, so why are you sweating?"

Fei Chu quietly shut up when he realized that the topic was not right.

He was afraid that he would make him feel the full set of etiquette, which would be counterproductive.

Secretary Wei Wan smiled and said, "I didn't expect that President Ren would make such a mistake."

When it comes to following the rules, no one is better than Ren Yanyong.

Tang Mi teased, "You are so shocked~"

Everyone smiled knowingly, and Wei Wan coughed twice to stop him, "Maybe, don't keep talking about President Ren."

After speaking, he looked at Shi Xing and congratulated him.

Shi Xing was not restrained and smiled back.

Happy.

He didn't care what Ren Yanyong's situation was. He got the military power, so he was happy.

Simple and genuine.

Chi Yao: "After the meeting, go and do your own things. Don't crowd here."

Chief clerk Wei Wan said, "I'll go sort out the meeting minutes. The elders' meeting will be urging you later."

Tang Mi thought for a moment and said, "I'll encrypt the video footage that Admiral Fei has, set it to self-destruct after a few plays, and send it to the officers at the meeting who want to take a closer look."

Fu Qing: "I'll go to training."

Fei Chu: "I'll go back and rest."

After a while, everyone left one after another. In the conference room with projection, only Shi Xing and Chi Yao were left.

Chi Yao then looked at Shi Xing.

He received Shi Xing's brilliant smile without any concealment.

"Are you so happy?" Chi Yao was infected by Shi Xing's emotions, and the corners of his lips curled up.

Shi Xing nodded heavily, his eyes smiling into crescents, "I'm happy, Your Highness, aren't you happy?"

Shi Xing counted his fingers very seriously, "I got the military power in a reasonable way, I'm happy; I have four legions supporting me, and one legion is unclear, which means that only two legions are seriously opposed, I'm happy; in the end, President Ren and his men have to admit it even if they don't want to, well... I'm still very happy."

"The last one sounds a bit schadenfreude to me."

"Just listening to it, doesn't it look like it?" Shi Xing couldn't help but laughed out loud while asking back.

This answer... Chi Yao looked at Shi Xing, the child was laughing so hard that his eyes were almost invisible, and suddenly reached out and pinched Shi Xing's face. Well, it was just as imagined, soft and chubby, young, and full of collagen.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?"

Even though Chi Yao's movements were quick and he didn't use much force, Shi Xing still widened his eyes.

"Pinch someone's face to see what made him so rampant all of a sudden."

At the end of the three sentences, Chi Yao couldn't control himself and started laughing.

Seeing Chi Yao laughing, Shi Xing teased, "So what did you pinch out?"

Chi Yao looked at Shi Xing without saying a word. Their smiling eyes stared at each other for a while. In the silent atmosphere, Shi Xing felt something different. He blinked, but before he could open his mouth, he saw Chi Yao raise his hand and said abruptly, "It's hard to describe. Otherwise, I'll pinch it again..."

Halfway through his words, Shi Xing's body moved faster than his brain, and he covered his face and shook his head.

Chi Yao's smile deepened, and his hand bent and fell on Shi Xing's head and rubbed it.

"You need to work on being thick-skinned."

He turned around and pressed the main switch on the wall, then hooked his finger at the stunned Shi Xing with his back to him.

"Let's go."

Hmm, Your Highness, did you tease him on purpose just now?

Shi Xing realized it belatedly and tapped his forehead, feeling annoyed.

Chi Yao called him again, and Shi Xing ran and followed him obediently.

Shi Xing was not a person who remembered things, so he quickly put this farce behind him. The ownership of military power made him happy the whole day. When

the dust settled, his appetite was opened at noon. After studying in the afternoon, Shi Xing finished Tang Mi's class and ran to Chi Yao's study in his free time. He took a basket of crystal stones and absorbed them while enjoying himself.

Chi Yao wanted to say something, but when he looked up, he always saw Shi Xing smiling, so he swallowed his words to spoil the fun.

It would not be too late to talk about it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. There was no need to spoil Shi Xing's fun when he was in high spirits.

After they came to their senses, the marshals, vice marshals and high-ranking officers of other legions immediately contacted their friends in the Seventh Army to ask about Shi Xing.

Because there were too many private chats with Tan Baishan, Tan Baishan didn't have the time, so he simply created a group and asked the remaining five legions who had questions about Shi Xing to ask together.

Lu Guangyu was straightforward, "Your Highness Shi Xing, what level are you at now?"

Tan Baishan: "In principle, it is 3s, but it is very similar to your majesty's 3s, it's just a baseline."

Tan Baishan: "Shuchao should have tested your talent twice. You can ask the administrator. If he answers, it must be that your majesty has approved. If he doesn't say, don't ask any more questions."

Lu Guangyu lowered his eyes, thinking about something.

The messages in the group chat were refreshed quickly, and no one noticed his silence.

The marshals and vice marshals asked all kinds of questions they could think of.

From Shi Xing's abilities, personality, and healing abilities, which were relatively normal, to Shi Xing's hobbies, preferences, and personal quirks, which were relatively strange and private, all of them were thrown at Tan Baishan.

When Lu Guangyu looked at the group chat again, the topic had deviated to a direction that was difficult to explain.

"So, does Your Majesty like His Majesty Shi Xing very much?"

Lu Guangyu found it hard to imagine that this question came from the mouth of a marshal, not some aunts or uncles.

Tan Baishan was silent for a moment, "If there is no problem, we can close the group. I am still busy."

"No, this is a serious issue, not gossip. Let us consider how to deal with it in the future!"

Someone echoed, "Yes, tell us about His Majesty's attitude. We are not familiar with each other. You have to let us know how to treat His Majesty Shi Xing in the future, Lao Tan."

"Okay." Tan Baishan thought seriously, "I think he likes it."

"Can you elaborate?"

Tan Baishan was alert, "Are you really not trying to pry into His Majesty's privacy?"

"...If you want to talk, we can listen to a few words?"

Tan Baishan: "."

Tan Baishan nodded, dismissed the group chat, and went offline.

Such words can be said, it seems that there is no serious problem.

Tan Baishan left, and not long after, Lu Guangyu was pulled into another group chat. Everyone was carefully analyzing the news they had just heard.

[It has already passed the 3s level, which is unimaginable]

[Er Ya is only 2s, but Er Ya only treats His Majesty and will never treat other people in the empire]

[In this way, the young prince may really be able to cure His Majesty] As soon as

the last sentence came out, everyone thought about it at the same time.

Lu Guangyu was in a complicated mood.

After a moment, another officer pointed out, [Then how to treat His Majesty Shi Xing really needs us to consider carefully]

If...

Thinking of the uncertain possibilities in the future, the officers fell silent again.

After a long while, one person typed, "I hope so."

These four words hit the mark of everyone's heart, and the rest echoed:

"I hope so"

"Hope"

"Definitely."

Shi Xing was happy during the day, but at night, he began to worry again.

Nothing else, except for the first day, when he was worried about the issue of military power, Shi Xing subconsciously ignored the embarrassment of living with Chi Yao.

And when the dust of military power settled... this point became something that could not be ignored.

Shi Xing rolled around on his bed, and around again, and finally dawdled to the door of Chi Yao's master bedroom.

Take a deep breath, take another deep breath...

The first time he was strong, the second time weak, the third time exhausted...

The fourth time, Shi Xing still didn't push open the bedroom door. After thinking about what to say, what to do, how to get along with each other, etc., Shi Xing began to worry again. Without the military power issue bothering him, how could he fall asleep.

As bad as it is, His Highness can even hear his heartbeat.

Shi Xing suffocated.

But before he could think about it again, he suddenly heard two coughs, and his thoughts stagnated. It didn't

sound like a normal cough, but rather, it seemed that he was trying hard to endure something.

Wait, didn't His Highness feel it when he was standing at the door? If he felt it, then...

Shi Xing pushed open the door. When

the door opened, he saw Chi Yao sitting on the edge of the bed with his head lowered and his brows wrinkled.

The flow of air brought the answer.

Feeling the fluctuations of spiritual power, Shi Xing knew what was going on. Chi Yao's spiritual sea was unstable again.

Reaching into the bedroom space, Shi Xing's heart sank again. There was still no offensive leakage of spiritual power.

It was getting more and more frequent.

It took Shi Xing a long time to stand in front of Chi Yao before he realized there was someone.

"You're here."

He wanted to say this lightly, but his slightly hoarse tone exposed his true state and feelings at the moment.

"Your Highness, your spiritual power leaked."

"Yeah." Chi Yao closed his eyes, frowned, and lowered his head.

"Are you feeling very uncomfortable?" Shi Xing was worried, and his voice became lighter.

"Some." After a moment of silence, Chi Yao did not deny it. Shi

Xing stretched out his hand, and the calming spiritual power of the Blue Star diffused from his fingertips and gently gathered into Chi Yao's spiritual sea... but it didn't work.

Chi Yao held Shi Xing's fingers, interrupting the release of spiritual power, and shook his head, "It just entered a chaotic cycle. Don't use spiritual power, it's useless."

Shi Xing discovered something, and held Chi Yao's hand back, from the wrist, and then the knuckles followed into the sleeve. When Chi Yao wanted to refuse, he knew it was too late. Shi Xing felt the stickiness on his skin.

The next moment, Shi Xing put his hand on his neck and squatted down.

Chi Yao smiled, not very energetic, a bit like a bitter smile of being discovered.

Shi Xing squatted and looked at Chi Yao, his pupils shrank unnaturally for a few moments, and said with difficulty, "Your Highness, you sweat a lot."

Chi Yao closed his eyes and did not answer, which was regarded as tacit consent.

After a moment, the hand came to his face, touching the clear cold sweat on his cheek.

Shi Xing pursed his lips, his voice a little uncomfortable, "You lied to me, it's not just a little, it's obviously very uncomfortable."

People with problems in the spiritual sea will feel uncomfortable. Chi Yao has been coexisting with his broken spiritual sea for a long time. In terms of tolerance, it is definitely beyond the level that most people can do, but...

Usually he can act like nothing happened, but now he can't even pretend.

Shi Xing didn't believe it, he was just a little uncomfortable.

It must be very uncomfortable.

Chi Yao smiled silently, "You don't have to be so smart."
