[Career is the foundation of love.] Lin Su answered him and walked towards the reception room.
Love without foundation is like a castle in the air, existing only in fantasy and will be shattered by reality with the slightest poke.
There were many sentries following, but they all stopped at the door.
Although they really wanted to see how this popular guide met their legion leader and whether they fell in love at first sight, the fragile guides could not see too many sentinels at one time, especially unmarried guides, as that might cause them to have a stress response and make their inhibitors ineffective.
Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Lin Su stepped in. Without shifting his gaze, he looked at An Bingde who had risen from the sofa and saluted: "Captain An."
"That's too polite." An Bingde also saluted him and said, "Just call me Uncle An."
"Uncle An, what brings you here today? Sit down and tell me." Lin Su didn't mind the issue of title. After all, the An family did help him a lot. Even if he would reorganize the legion, he would only make it more fair, rather than expelling those who had made contributions and had not done any major mistakes.
The legion relies on unity of all people, and he cannot accomplish everything alone.
"It's not a big deal. I just came here to discuss with you the border issue between the First Legion and the Second Legion on the Cerro River. My wife left our youngest son to me halfway through a party, so I brought him here. Do you mind?" An Bingde asked.
Even if they want to get married, there are some things that they should keep in mind.
Lin Su didn't respond, but An Bingde turned around and beckoned to the little guide sitting on the sofa: "Yixi, come over and say hello to General Lin. This child... This is my youngest son, An Yixi."
Lin Su also looked over. The guide who was one of the top three most wanted women in the empire was indeed very beautiful, especially her eyes, which had a kind of calm, clean and well-behaved look. He was sitting there holding a pure white fawn. If other sentries saw him, they would easily feel a natural desire to protect him.
When the guide who was sitting obediently heard An Bingde's greeting, he looked up. As soon as they looked at each other, a blush appeared on his fair face. He stood up, but before he could go over, the little deer in his arms had already jumped in front of Lin Su, looking at him with a pair of watery eyes.
"Ah!" An Yixi screamed, quickly put away the deer, stood beside An Bingde and said, "Hello, General. Sorry to bother you."
An Bingde was amazed by his state. It was rare for his youngest son to fall in love with someone at first sight.
"Well, I won't bother you." Lin Su responded, "Since we want to discuss the matter of the Cerro River border, it's better not to let non-military personnel hear it. Uncle An, let's talk about it somewhere else."
It's just the border of a river, so there's no need for the legion commander to come in person to negotiate. An Bingde was originally happy that his son had found his sweetheart, but looking at Lin Su's state, that look was definitely not the look he should have when seeing a guide he likes.
But this can't
An Bingde's heart sank slightly when he heard this in front of his youngest son. He said, "Okay, let's go to another place. Yixi, you can rest here first. Dad will come back after he finishes talking to General Lin."
"Well, business is more important. I'll wait for you here," An Yixi looked at Lin Su and said, "Take care, General."
Lin Su nodded and turned to leave. When the two men left, the soldiers who had been standing at the door with their ears perked up but actually could not hear anything stood straighter than each other.
"Guard this place well, don't let anyone in, and don't let anyone in either." Lin Su said.
Regardless of whether it is rejected or not, a guide's safety must be guaranteed.
"Yes." The guarding soldiers responded one after another.
An Bingde was pleased with his attentiveness, but it also made him feel a rare sense of unease. After entering Lin Su's office, he said bluntly, "You should know why I came here today."
The matter of the Cerro River was just an excuse; the key to coming here today was to get them to meet.
Lin Su looked at him and said, "Yes, but I'm sorry."
"You look down on him? What's wrong with him?" An Bingde couldn't suppress his anger after hearing his blunt rejection, even though he knew it wasn't Lin Su's fault. "Is it because of Ye Shu from the royal family?"
"It has nothing to do with the royal family. Your son is a good person. As one of the best guides in the entire empire, how could he not be good? But I'm sorry, I already have someone in my heart. He is not a guide from any family."
It may not even be a guide. Although the little guy's quantum beast form is relatively small, the fox is a carnivore. The original world line records that it was a sentinel until its death.
But no matter whether he is a sentinel or a guide, even if he has to rely on tranquilizers to heal the scars of quantum beasts and quell the riots of quantum beasts in this life, the only person he wants is that person.
An Bingde took a deep breath and looked at him: "You didn't make it up on purpose just to reject me, did you?"
"Of course not." Lin Su looked at him and said.
"What kind of guide do you like?" An Bingde asked. "Is there an S-level? If you like her, why don't you marry her?"
"In fact, I haven't caught up with him yet. I couldn't give him stability before, but I can now. But no matter what level he is, he is the best in my heart." Lin Su said seriously.
It was obvious that he was deeply in love. Any sentry could tell whether the other sentry was attracted to him or not. Feelings could not be forced, and An Bingde did not want his son to marry a man who had another guide in his heart.
"Okay, today just pretend that I haven't been here, not even for a night. If someone asks..." An Bingde sighed.
"Just say that Young Master An doesn't like me." Lin Su said.
He really saved his face. An Bingde sighed deeply and left.
When he left, Lin Su didn't go to see him off. When he boarded the spaceship, An Yixi, who was sitting next to him, hugged the slightly wilted little deer in his arms and said, "Dad, does he not like me?"
"Yi Xi, he's not the only sentinel in this empire. There will be better ones in the future." An Bingde coughed and said, "My son doesn't need a sentinel either, right?"
"But he is the best." An Yixi said, pursing her lips.
There were so many sentinels, but none of them looked like the hero in his mind, except Lin Su... When he appeared, it was like someone walked out of a dream, and just standing there made people's heart beat fast.
"But you can't force feelings," An Bingde said. "He's already in love with someone. Yixi, Dad hopes you can receive all the love a future Sentinel can offer, rather than the complete indifference of a Sentinel with someone in his heart."
