Chapter 52 Lu Chi, calm down
Over there, Fei Ziming explained to Lu Junliang, "Major General, Lu Chi and Ye Qiao performed a great service in this secret sentry incident."
Lu Junliang asked in a low voice: "Where is Wei Guan?"
Fei Ziming shook his head: "The few who died were all sentries below S-rank. It's a pity that this operation failed to lure him out."
Lu Junliang pondered and said, "This action has already alerted the enemy. It may be difficult to lure him out next time."
Fei Ziming lowered his head: "It's all because of our inaction."
Lu Junliang: "Dealing with the secret sentinels is not something that can be done overnight. You have done a good job. This is none of your business."
Lu Junliang changed the subject and said, "By the way, you said to record the military points, right? I'll tell Qiao Xiu later and ask him to record it."
Fei Ziming coughed twice and complained, "Major General, forget about Ye Qiao, but why did Lu Chi put his name on the Third Army? Don't you care about this?"
Lu Junliang was puzzled: "What does it matter? I don't think it's a big deal. Chief Instructor Fei, it's okay. The First Army and the Third Army are as close as family."
Lu Junliang thought: Hey, his brother wants to marry into his family, he doesn’t care at all.
Huo Xi, dressed exquisitely, sat weakly on the sofa. She was the only female among this group of sentinels, and also a rare S-level guide in the interstellar space. She was always noticed and respected wherever she went.
But none of the sentries in front of her noticed her.
Everyone's eyes, attention and topics were all on Ye Qiao, and they really couldn't stop talking about Ye Qiao.
There was a hint of coldness in Huo Xi's noble eyes.
Qiao Ye had to pee urgently, so he got up to go to the bathroom. Huo Xi found an excuse to follow him.
Qiao Ye came out of the bathroom and Huo Xi stopped her.
Qiao Ye was stopped and was a little confused: "Senior Huo Xi, is there something wrong?"
"Classmate Ye Qiao." Huo Xi's expression was calm. "Can I talk to you?"
Qiao Ye instinctively didn't like the girl in front of him very much: "It seems that we are not familiar with each other. I don't think there is anything good to talk about with you."
Seeing that she was being rude, Huo Xi didn't respond either. She warned her, "Student Ye Qiao, you should know that the Lu and Huo families have financial entanglements. I will definitely marry into the Lu family and become the mistress of the Lu family in the future. So, Student Ye Qiao, I have an obligation to remind you that you and Lu Chi are not getting too close. I know that there are male chauvinists in the empire, but the Lu family doesn't need them at all. I can guess your purpose. You just want to use the Lu family to rise to the top. Your behavior and purpose have made people feel a little disgusted and uncomfortable. I am talking to you as Lu Chi's future sister-in-law. I hope you can keep your distance from Lu Chi in the future."
Qiao Ye clenched his fists instantly.
Her tone was calm: "What do you think my actions and purposes are?"
Huo Xi: "You are just an ordinary person. You have no background and no ability. So you want to rely on improper relationships to get more opportunities."
Qiao Ye's eyes changed. "You have a really dirty heart. I'm afraid only someone with a dirty heart like yours could make such a guess."
Lu Chi's voice suddenly came from behind.
"Student Huo Xi, is the Huo family's education to let you say such disgusting words in other people's homes and do such things to sow discord?" Lu Chi's voice was loud, attracting Lu Junliang who was still chatting in the living room.
Lu Chi walked in front of Qiao Ye, his tall body blocking her behind.
The violent gene in his body was aroused, and at that moment he made Huo Xi feel terrified.
Lu Chi said gloomily, "It's my honor that Ye Qiao is willing to be my friend. You are not even worth a hair of Ye Qiao. As a member of the Third Army, I don't care what deal you have with the First Army. If you dare to make trouble in the Lu family again, and dare to bully Ye Qiao again, I will make you regret it. I mean what I say. You can try it."
Qiao Ye sensitively noticed that there was something wrong with Lu Chi's mental power. She took a small step forward and grabbed Lu Chi's wrist with her backhand.
She had a feeling that Lu Chi's temper seemed a little difficult to control now. If she didn't control him, he might want to kill someone.
"Lu Chi, calm down."
The moment Qiao Ye's soft and cold hand grasped Lu Chi's wrist, the susceptible sentinel's emotions were instantly calmed.
He grabbed Qiao Ye's hand and explained, "Qiao Qiao, don't listen to her nonsense. Even if she really becomes my sister-in-law, she can't control you and me. Not to mention she's not one yet."
At this time, Lu Junliang had already learned roughly what had happened from Butler Wu.
Huo Xi felt a little embarrassed. She said, "Lu Chi, Ye Qiao is a man after all. If you get too close to him, it will be bad for your reputation and the Lu family's reputation. I really am doing this for your own good."
The tall and long-legged Major General Lu Junliang sauntered out. "Miss Huo, if the Lu family has any reputation at all, it's earned through hard work. Not to mention my brother and classmate Ye Qiao's closeness, even if they were in love, the Lu family wouldn't say a word against it. So, Miss Huo, I think your behavior today was a bit inappropriate. What do you think?"
Huo Xi's expression changed. She said to Lu Junliang, "Major General Lu, I was really doing this for Lu Chi's own good."
Lu Junliang said silently: "Ms. Huo, thank you for doing this for Lu Chi's sake. But the Lu family doesn't need it."
Huo Xi frowned. She could hear Lu Junliang's bias from his words.
With so many deals between the Huo and Lu families, Lu Junliang actually favors Ye Qiao?!
Huo Xi couldn't understand at all: "Major General Lu, I thought we were having a pleasant chat just now."
Lu Junliang: "It's just average, actually."
Huo Xi's expression changed instantly.
A slap in the face. Lu Junliang actually slapped her in the face so blatantly in front of so many people!
Lu Junliang was a little tired of dealing with it. "Ms. Huo, the Lu family hasn't taken good care of us today. Please go back."
Huo Xi: "Major General Lu, my family is a family of infrastructure construction and can provide base construction for the First Army. I am an S-level guide, which is very rare in the empire. I think I am a good match for the Lu family."
Lu Junliang smiled and said, "Miss Huo, you may be mistaken. The Lu family's strength comes from its own strong fighting ability, not from its in-laws. So, Miss Huo, whether the Lu and Huo families are a good match is not up to you."
Huo Xi, who was forced into a corner by Lu Junliang's impolite tone, breathed faster. She walked out of the Lu family's door and turned back: "If you reject me now, I will never do mental sorting for the First Army in the future."
Lu Junliang's face turned slightly cold and he waved his hand.
Huo Xi then left the Lu family angrily.
Watching this scene, Qiao Ye felt speechless and a bit down. She whispered to Lu Chi, "Does it count as ruining Brother Lu's blind date because of me?"
Lu Chi squeezed her hand and answered firmly: "Qiao Qiao, don't think too much. This has nothing to do with you."
Lu Junliang smiled and said to Qiao Ye, "Lu Chi is right. It has nothing to do with you. Brother Lu didn't like her originally. He just thought her conditions were suitable. Since he had to marry a wife, he thought he might as well talk to her. But now he feels that it's a good thing she revealed her true nature in advance, otherwise there would be a lot of trouble after marrying her home."
Lu Junliang: "Marry a virtuous wife. It seems that you should look for a wife with good character. Whether she is an S-level guide or not is not really important."
Fei Ziming nodded in approval, a rare gesture.
In the afternoon, Qiao Ye still had to go back to school for classes.
Even though Lu Chi was extremely reluctant, he couldn't show it too much in front of Fei Ziming.
After Fei Ziming took Qiao Ye away, Lu Chi stayed at home with his head down and a gloomy face.
