Chapter 88: Ulterior Motives



After hanging up Captain Lin's message, Ruo Manni sat there, repeatedly recalling the scene when she met Li Qixing as soon as she walked into the telekinesis training hall.

Because of her excellent memory, Ruo Manni remembered the scene very clearly. She didn't have time to think about the strangeness at the time, but the more she thought about it now, the more she felt that the strange feeling she had when her eyes met Li Qixing's was not wrong.

The look Li Qixing gave her at that time showed that he had been waiting for her for a while.

That was definitely not the first time I looked into the eyes of a stranger.

Moreover, after he took a quick look at her face, his eyes were blank for a moment, as if he was looking at someone through her.

At that time, she clearly felt that his eyes revealed a very complicated emotion, but he quickly restrained the emotion, and when he looked at her again, there was a hint of liking in his eyes, just like the liking he had when he saw an outstanding young person from his own family.

Ruo Manni did not feel any malice at all. Now that she had thought about everything, she couldn't help but have a guess in her heart. Li Qixing really wanted to take her in as a disciple, but someone had specially recommended her to him first, which attracted his attention.

Ruo Manni could only ponder these speculations by herself. Without exposing them, she had no way of explaining them clearly to Captain Lin and his wife.

However, the person with ulterior motives had good intentions by letting such a big boss accept him as his disciple.

Ruo Manni felt a little annoyed. She didn't want to have anything to do with the person with ulterior motives, and naturally didn't want to accept that person's favor.

But judging from the situation, the other party didn't want to expose the matter, and she herself didn't want other people to know the inside story of the past, so Rumanni couldn't go up and refuse it herself.

Ruo Manni thought about it over and over again but couldn't think of a good way to get out of the current situation without leaving any trace. She sat there worrying for a long time before she angrily threw the matter aside.

At that time, she was not smart enough and did not think of this in time. Now that the master has acknowledged it, how could she dare to return the goods without reason to such a big master?

This matter was not something she could solve with her current ability. Anyway, not only did she not suffer any loss, but she also gained a lot. Why should she worry about it?

She would just pretend she didn't know the mystery behind this master-disciple relationship. But Ruo Manni hoped that she would never need to "know" the "inside story".

Ruo Manni put the matter aside and went to study, but just as she clicked on the learning website, Teacher Fang called her.

Instructor Fang learned from Captain Lin that Ruo Manni had become a disciple of a high-level telekinetic master, and expressed to Ruo Manni that she was very happy.

"Manny, you must learn well from Colonel Li. It is your luck to have such a teacher. Of course, it is also Colonel Li's luck to have such a good apprentice." Teacher Fang said in a tone as if his own child was the best.

"This morning I received a comprehensive report from your instructor Dudley on your special training over the past two months. Instructor Dudley said that you have been very hardworking. Manny, you have done very well and have made great progress. Your uncle Lin and I are very proud of you."

A kind of speechless touching hovered in Ruo Manni's heart. Captain Lin and his wife were indeed good guardians. They were concerned about her feelings, so they would feed her chicken soup for the soul whenever they had the chance.

"Your Highness, I just received a message that General Li suddenly went to the Xuan Gu First Military Academy this morning." Hua Deqi sent a message to the eldest prince.

The eldest prince was silent for two seconds, then asked in a low voice: "Purpose?"

"He must have planned it in advance. Someone should have informed him that he arrived at the telekinesis training hall ten minutes before 01 did. He accepted 01 as his disciple on the spot. For this matter, he even called 01's guardian in person to obtain the guardian's consent." Hua Deqi said with mixed feelings.

The eldest prince pondered for a long time and did not speak.

Hua Deqi was silent for a while before he continued, "To be honest, Admiral Li is the strongest telekinetic master in the Gus Empire. No one is more suitable to be 01's teacher than him. And with Admiral Li as her backer, 01 will also get the best..."

"Colonel Li is indeed an excellent teacher to her. But don't forget Colonel Li's identity. You have to make sure that Colonel Li has no other intentions towards 01. After all, she is just a child, and her guardian is far away... Has your second aunt made any moves recently?"

"If you want to say there is something strange, there are still some differences. Ever since Ali was admitted to the No. 1 Military Academy of Xuan Gu, Second Aunt has obviously spent more time at home. She has also shown unprecedented concern for Ali, and especially asked about his special training outside." Hua Deqi analyzed.

The cousins on both sides of the message looked at each other in tacit understanding. The eldest prince rubbed his forehead and said tiredly, "So, she may have discovered it."

"It's very likely. Second Aunt is not an ordinary person. How could an ordinary person do such a thing?" Hua Deqi said half sarcastically and half with admiration.

"It's hard to say what happened back then because the queen intervened first. Over the past decade or so, your second aunt and the queen have hardly lived together. Before that, they were very good sisters. Given the queen's personality, if she knew 01's identity, she would definitely suppress him." said the eldest prince.

"What should we do? Should we tell our second uncle? He probably doesn't know about this." Hua Deqi asked hesitantly.

The eldest prince thought for a moment and said, "No, I still maintain my original opinion and don't let her know these terrible things before she comes of age. I will talk to General Li first. If he really wants to take him as a disciple, his identity is also the best protector. The queen dare not touch Li Qixing."

When Manni crawled out of the holographic game cabin in the morning, she was not in good spirits, but after she went into the bathroom and took a shower, she recovered a lot.

Ruo Manni ate something casually and went out for a run like yesterday.

At night in the battlefield, Ruo Manni used the whip technique taught by Teacher Li Qixing. After practicing for a while, the damage value increased by more than 20 points.

She also tried to follow her teacher's instruction and used her telekinesis to simulate a flying knife to attack the monsters in the war world, and it actually had a damage value of 36 points. This was her first time trying to simulate a weapon attack with telekinesis, and she didn't expect it to be successful at the first try, and the damage value was not low.

However, the consequence of doing so is that the consumption of mana and health points is very large. She has to follow what her teacher taught and first learn to compress and condense her mental power to reduce consumption, so that she can better use her telekinesis to simulate weapons.

Because completing tasks in the war world was too strenuous and consumed too much mental energy, Ruo Manni felt a little tired after getting up.

However, after Manni finished running the warm-up circles, her mental strength had fully recovered. Only then did she discover that her source of mental strength had actually expanded a little bit.

This made Ruo Manni very excited, and she felt that it was a good thing to cling to someone powerful.

You have to know that ever since Ruo Manni's telekinesis level was promoted to level five, she always felt that her cultivation was not as smooth as before, as if there was some layer between them, which she could not clearly grasp or see through, and her cultivation had therefore been stagnant.

Unexpectedly, with the targeted teaching from the big boss yesterday, she seemed to have broken through the bottleneck overnight. The barrier disappeared and her cultivation level also improved a lot.
