"great."
He quickly ate the second one.
Jiang Jianyue cut the scones into small pieces, put them into his mouth, chewed them carefully, and squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
It didn't take long to solve one of them.
Only Pei Ji had been browsing the Star Network since he sat down. He only tasted one piece of the tempting pancake and put it down.
Jiang Jianyue pointed at the table.
“Don’t use the terminal while eating.”
Pei Ji glanced at her and symbolically ate another piece.
"What are you looking at?" Donald asked.
Pei Ji said coldly, "Look at the gossip between Her Royal Highness the Princess and my wife."
"It's really delicious," Donald commented.
"You really haven't heard of it before?"
Jiang Jianyue asked, and then she regretted it.
Pei Ji stopped eating, turned off the terminal, and leaned back with his shoulders folded.
"I don't like browsing the Star Network."
"He has a lot of negative information." Donald glanced at the scone he had only taken two bites of. "Do you mind?"
Pei Ji took the initiative to push the cake in front of him.
"Let's change the subject."
Jiang Jianyue felt that continuing this topic would only make Pei Ji more upset, so she took out the stack of introduction sheets again.
"I want to know if you received any special...hints before you came to participate in the competition."
She looked thoughtfully at the two Alphas in front of her.
This league isn't normal.
The rules suddenly changed, Owen got into trouble, and now there's a chocolate that can cause people to mutate.
Even further back, it connects to the Shakin smuggling case and the disastrous defeat of the First Fleet...
Jiang Jianyue vaguely guessed something.
She wasn't sure if her guess was correct, but the two people in front of her might be able to give her the answer.
"If you must say, yes," Donald said in a deep voice.
A month ago, the Queen suddenly ordered him to go to a certain fringe star to wipe out a small group of interstellar pirates.
Donald was very confused at first. The coordinates were obviously closer to the Fifth Fleet's cruising route, so why did the Queen choose to go the long way around and send the Sixth Fleet?
Until he discovered a small insect nest near the planet.
Outside of the cruising orbit, there's more than one.
"Me too." Jiang Jianyue said.
Two weeks ago, the Queen suddenly ordered her to go to the Kingdee Auction to complete a negotiation involving a batch of mechas.
After contact, she discovered that the mechas were actually advanced mechas above S-level, and the materials used were gold sand smuggled from Baisha Star.
"The items held at the Kingdee Auction should not be under the jurisdiction of the empire. At that time, I guessed... maybe the Queen was testing something." Jiang Jianyue said.
Having said that, it is already very clear.
This series of temptations, coupled with a series of abnormalities.
"Someone's planning a coup, aren't they?"
Jiang Jianyue looked at Pei Ji.
Donald looked at him at the same time.
In their view, as the true Alpha, he must be the one at the center of the secret.
But Pei Ji laughed: "To be honest, I didn't receive any hints."
There was a hint of self-mockery in his smile.
"Maybe someone did want to do something on the anniversary, but have you forgotten that I wasn't originally on the list of participants?"
He hadn't received any hints, and even Shen Que hadn't told him anything about the Queen's decision.
Carolina didn't choose him at all. If it weren't for the princess's selfish motives, he should be enjoying his final suspension period on Baisha Star.
Whether to arrange Luo Yuan to carry out that mission or to keep the Fourth Fleet on combat readiness was his own decision.
He just... guessed something because he knew too much.
Unlike the other two, the Queen tested them and chose them.
As for him, he was only worthy of listening to Carolina's ridicule and sarcasm in the palace.
"It doesn't matter." Pei Ji curled his lips. "I know everything I need to know. The most important thing now is how to solve this problem."
He clicked on the candy book.
Jiang Jianyue looked at Pei Ji's calm expression, which was completely unlike his own. After a moment of silence, he said:
"According to the anniversary schedule, the Royal Court will host an opening dinner for the exhibition match in two days. This will be followed by a week of interviews and pre-match publicity, and then the competition will officially begin."
"In other words, we have ten days to identify and resolve it."
"It's not as long as ten days." Pei Ji said, "If they have other plans, they might need to divert their attention to other things."
"But we don't know much about candy." Jiang Jianyue frowned as she looked at the booklet. "It will take at least a week to find a reliable candy factory that won't leak the information to authenticate it."
"Someone knows." Donald suddenly interrupted.
"Who?" Jiang Jianyue looked up and asked.
Donald: "Wenty."
