She immediately raised her hands to show innocence, and raised an eyebrow at Si Yi, saying, "I didn't laugh, that wasn't me laughing. And..."
Sili turned her gaze to Luo Zilin, "We're looking for people who, after receiving help, shamelessly turn the tables and insist on sharing the pleasure, not the underprivileged who are bullied at school. Please, this underprivileged young lady, go and study more, don't confuse the two!"
Si Yi was so taken aback that he lost all interest in Si Lili and Luo Zilin beside him.
He sat up straight and tilted his head slightly to the right.
Then, I saw Tao Yao, whose eyes were still full of smiles.
Her eyes seemed to hold a vast galaxy, and her smile was full of starlight, radiating dazzling brilliance.
He had seen the girl's smile at yesterday's banquet, and at that moment he wondered if he could win her heart and make her smile genuinely, would his eyes be filled with stars?
Now that I've seen it for myself, it's true, a beauty's smile can captivate a city.
However, the smile was not directed at herself, and her hands were being held by another man.
Seeing the Fifth Prince looking over, Tao Yao stopped smiling.
After just one incident yesterday, Si Yi's impression on her was no different from Si He's. She even felt that this hypocritical fifth prince was not as good as the fourth prince who openly acted like a rogue.
Shu Yan noticed his girlfriend's change. He turned slightly, released Tao Yao's hand, and the two held each other's hands.
Shu Yan glanced at Si Yi and Luo Zilin behind him, and said with a half-smile, "Fifth Prince? Is the Fifth Prince planning to introduce his future imperial consort to us?"
Tao Yao continued, "Congratulations to the Fifth Prince on finding his sweetheart and joining the ranks of those who are no longer single."
Hu Tiantian also leaned over from next to Tao Yao, shook the personal terminal on her wrist, and indicated that she had seen the trending topic: "The Fifth Prince and this young lady are truly a perfect couple. I saw it on the trending topic, and they both look great on camera."
Xie Langhuan: "Congratulations! I await your invitations."
Slili couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She laughed so hard that her shoulders were shaking.
Si Yi: "..."
He yelled at Silili so loudly just now, these people must have heard it all. Even if they heard it, they still put on this show, it's clearly intentional.
However, royal decorum prevented Si Yi from reacting on the spot.
Looking back now, there are countless ways to save someone. Why did he suddenly become so obsessed that he grabbed Luo Zilin and took her into the auditorium?
Thinking back to his dream yesterday after he was poisoned, the vivid sensation...
Si Yi suddenly felt a chill.
"Young Master Shu clearly heard what I was saying. I was just helping my classmate. Why are you leading the way in making fun of me?" Si Yi could only pretend to be helpless.
He was also afraid that Shu Yan would take advantage of his kindness. If the other party were to say something like, "Is that so? So Your Highness uses your warm embrace to help female students," he would be in a situation where he couldn't clear his name no matter what.
Therefore, Si Yi immediately added, "Young Master Shu and Miss Tao are a perfect match."
Shu Yan nodded, his expression one of natural enjoyment of the compliment: "Thank you for your blessings. When Yao Yao and I get engaged, if Your Highness would be so kind as to attend the ceremony, you may also do so."
Si Yi: "..."
His ability to control his facial expressions forced him to force a smile: "I'll definitely be there."
At this moment, a 3D projection is shown on the stage.
In just a few seconds, the scene of the Zerg invasion in the palace last night appeared before everyone's eyes.
The 3D projection allowed all the students present to personally experience the bloodshed and terror of the Zerg.
The waiters' bodies were like puppets being manipulated; they opened their mouths, and in a moment, countless insect eggs poured out of their mouths.
Insect eggs fall to the ground and become adult insects.
"It's a cercariae, a blood-sucking worm!" someone shouted from behind as everyone stared intently at it.
The transformation from larva to larva also occurs in a very short time, not even enough time for the palace security team to escort the guests to safety.
Fortunately, the guests invited last night were all people with superpowers, and all sorts of superpowers flew around the hall, with fire, ice crystals, and lightning constantly flying and flashing.
Everyone watched the 3D stereoscopic image with bated breath.
The projected battle lasted a full 10 minutes, leaving the students present seething with rage and gnashing their teeth.
Then, the scene changed, the battle scene disappeared, and a three-dimensional Imperial Marshal stood on the stage.
"Hello everyone, I am very happy to stand here today to give this opening speech to you all. Of course, at the same time, my heart is also very heavy, because the enemy we are facing has begun to infiltrate the alliance..."
The Emperor was already over a hundred years old, but thanks to his good maintenance, he looked like an ordinary middle-aged man of about 40.
He stood on the stage and spoke eloquently, first expressing deep remorse for the Zerg infiltrating the palace yesterday, and then analyzing the Zerg crisis that the entire alliance is currently facing.
At the same time, I urge all the new students present to study hard and strive for the future of the entire alliance and for all of humanity.
The Emperor's speech was passionate and lasted for 40 minutes. After it ended, thunderous applause erupted.
Just when everyone thought it was over, another group of people appeared on the stage—that's right, a group of commanders from various legions.
Wearing a dark blue combat uniform, Qin Zheng, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Legion, stepped forward: "I am Qin Peng. On behalf of the Fifth Legion of the Alliance, I welcome all students to enthusiastically sign up for the Fifth Legion! As the Emperor said, the crisis of the Zerg is imminent. Now, our legions are opening up the legion registration quota ahead of time. If the students here can pass the legion assessment, they will enjoy legion contribution points during their spare time training and internship, and enjoy the legion subsidies given by the Alliance."
Then, the commanders of the various legions stepped forward one by one to introduce their legions and their benefits and perks.
The students at the scene were in an uproar.
What the students never expected was that a simple speech by the Emperor would turn into a recruitment event for the Legion.
The students were astonished, and the Fifth Prince, Si Yi, was even more astonished.
Why did his father give this speech today? One reason was to cover up yesterday's internal strife in the palace. More importantly, it was to establish a positive image of the Imperial Army in the minds of the new students, making them more inclined to enlist in the Imperial Army in the future.
He never expected that his father would do the work for someone else, and the army behind him would take advantage of the situation as soon as he finished speaking!
On planet 725, Emperor Siyuan was equally furious. After learning that he had been used as someone else's pawn, he quickly dialed the Alliance Chairman's star telegram.
As soon as the call was connected, Emperor Siyuan roared, "Changdong, why didn't you discuss the recruitment of those legions with me beforehand? This doesn't match the conditions agreed upon when the Alliance asked our Imperial Family to join!"
Zhuo Changdong smiled, but there was a hint of impatience in his laughter. "Commander Yuan, you privately raised the Zerg, and yesterday you released the Zerg in the palace without permission, causing heavy casualties, without consulting us either."
"You!" Si Yuan's pupils shrank. "How could I possibly raise Zerg? Chang Dong, don't spout nonsense!"
