"Symbiotic Stone..." Pei Ji was stunned for a moment.
Yes...his Symbiote Stone, because of which he missed his wedding.
An Alpha who missed the wedding is not worth liking...
Stop.
Now is not the time to think about that.
His symbiotic stone still remained in its half-cut state...placed in Chenxing Palace.
"You calculate the required amount." Pei Ji said, "I'll go get it."
"No, I have to go with you." Xingyao said in a serious tone, "I need to make sure the ore I bring back meets my requirements. It needs to be identified on the spot."
Pei Ji frowned.
If it weren't for the fact that more symbiotic stones were needed to create Han Ying, he would never have returned to that place.
He recalled the route he had taken.
He remembered most of it, but something complicated happened in the middle, which led to him being separated from Luo Yuan and accidentally entering the area where the symbiotic stones grew. After coming out, he encountered a swarm of insects.
To be honest... he still wasn't sure where that place was.
Although the coordinates have always shown in the asteroid belt, but...
"That place is a bit dangerous." Pei Ji said truthfully.
"I must follow." Xingyao insisted.
"During the last trial, they said it took you twelve days to find the stone. If the one you bring back this time isn't up to standard, it'll take another twelve days to go back and forth. That's too long."
"The oasis' artificial rainy season will soon begin. If the air is humid, it will be very bad for the shaping of the gold sand. We can't wait until then."
Pei Ji frowned and looked at the blond Omega in front of him.
When it comes to mecha manufacturing, he suddenly lost his previous hesitation and became stubborn.
It’s a bit like the feeling of “I’m not bitter at all”.
He turned his head to look at Jin Yi, "Don't you want to persuade him?"
Jin Yi knew Pei Ji, he never joked about serious matters.
If there is danger, then there must be danger.
Jin Yi: "I'll follow."
Pei Ji: “…”
His eyes darkened for a moment before he spoke, "I'm not in great shape right now, so I can't guarantee your safety."
Xingyao really wanted to ask: Can’t we call the director?
But after taking a look at Pei Ji with rabbit eyes, he swallowed the words back.
"After all, I graduated from a military academy and have been to many dangerous places to collect materials. I'm fine."
He patted his chest.
"I can protect Jin Yi."
The Alpha who was named tilted his head and took a look.
Xingyao did not change her hairstyle before going out. She still had a simple high ponytail, and her golden hair was like the dazzling morning light.
Pei Ji's mouth twitched.
"Whatever you want." He seemed to sigh.
Xingyao immediately asked, "When are we going?"
Pei Ji supported his head with one hand, lowered his eyes, and said casually, "The sooner the better."
He wasn't sure how long the search would take this time.
Jin Yi thought for a moment and said, "The ore department's inventory work will be completed in two days."
Pei Ji: "Then two days later."
Xingyao hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "You... aren't going to tell the Director?"
Pei Ji bit his lower lip imperceptibly, and raised his hoarse voice slightly: "He didn't even tell me he was going out, so why should I tell him? Anyway..."
He suddenly choked.
"Forget it." He stood up. "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I still have to go play the game."
He raised his hand and quickly wiped the corner of his eyes, muttering softly: "I'm so annoyed..."
When Pei Ji's figure disappeared at the stairs, Xingyao nervously grabbed Jinyi's arm.
"Is it really okay? We're not going to the desert area for a drink, we're going to the small star belt! In this state, the young lord is too far away from the director, and something bad will happen, right?"
Jin Yi glanced at the anxious Xingyao.
"Don't worry." He drank his lemonade calmly. "He will definitely be exposed."
…
Shenxing Palace.
Demi and Anya stood in front of Shen Que awkwardly.
"Did he really say that?" Shen Que still had his coat draped over his arm, and his hair was a little messy from walking so fast.
Anya nodded and accused righteously: "He insisted that you went to find a mistress, and said that he didn't mind you playing outside. He didn't care."
"Very good." Shen Que turned his head and laughed angrily.
Seeing this, Anya quickly added, "Alphas in their susceptible period are irrational. Madam, please don't take it to heart."
Demi added helplessly, "He probably still feels guilty about what he did yesterday."
Shen Que's face was gloomy.
"So," he gestured towards the empty bedroom, "guilt is the reason he ran away from home?"
Demi and Anya exchanged awkward glances.
Demi: "The surveillance cameras at Shenxing Palace didn't capture anything..."
Anya: "The servants also said they didn't see the admiral... Even Phil said he didn't see him..."
Demi coughed. "Well... the Admiral used to sneak out often. We couldn't control him... When he was in Bright Moon Palace, even the Lord couldn't control him."
A patient in a susceptible period was able to slip away under the noses of so many guards and servants.
Shen Que sneered: "Should I still praise him for being amazing?"
Demi touched her nose guiltily: "Or you can just call us useless..."
Shen Que rubbed his sore eye sockets.
Anya took the coat from his hand and asked quietly, "Do you need Anya to go find it?"
Shen Que glanced at the empty bed and said with lowered eyes:
"Don't go looking for it yourself. Let other members of the Shadow Knights go."
Anya didn't understand.
Shen Que: "He recognizes your spiritual power, and he will find out soon once you go there."
Anya suddenly understood, but became confused:
"But does it matter? Will the Admiral run away if he recognizes me?"
"Who knows..." Chen Que muttered softly with a tense face, "How can I know what's going on in his head..."
Demi and Anya looked at each other awkwardly again.
Shen Que rarely complained in front of them, and he rarely even said anything emotional.
Normally, they would surround him and chatter.
And the deep and rich emotions will only be left to another person.
But what he just said was not only a complaint, but also a complaint with strong emotions, which can only mean that he is already angry.
Good luck to you, General.
Demi and Anya both made the sign of the cross in their hearts.
I hope you can still sleep in your bed tonight.
