Sui Yi thought for a moment, then picked up the tablet next to her and began to check where all these people were staying, preparing to go there as well, because she was afraid that someone might cause a big disaster that she couldn't get back.
Meanwhile, Thor and Wen Xuerou rushed to a seven-star hotel in the central city and went straight inside.
"Brother Lei, do you know who's coming this time?" Wen Xuerou was still a little uneasy because she had never met anyone from the capital before, so why would they specifically name her?
"I don't know either, but you don't need to worry. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. It's best to be cautious."
"Hmm!" Wen Xuerou nodded, her eyes filled with even more worry. The person beside her was unreliable, and she hoped he wouldn't let himself go today. If something happened, no one would be able to cover for him.
"Who is the visitor?"
Led by a robot waiter, the two arrived at the entrance of the luxurious lobby on the seventh floor, only to be stopped by a guard as soon as they got there.
The two exchanged a glance, and Thor smiled at the guards, saying, "I am an instructor at the War God Academy, Thor. This is Wen Xuerou, whom the adults inside specifically requested to see. May I inform them?"
"Okay! Just a moment!" One of the guards nodded, turned and went inside, and came out a short while later, seeing the two of them.
"You can go in now!" After saying that, he returned to his post.
Thor led Wen Xuerou across the threshold and inside. There were about ten people inside. Besides the two familiar dean and vice-dean, there were some high-ranking local officials, and five unfamiliar faces. He guessed these five were from the Imperial Capital Academy.
"You've arrived?" The Dean saw Thor and greeted him.
"Come here quickly, let me introduce you! This is the Third Prince, and these two are Instructor Shen Qiu and Instructor Niu Ke from the Imperial Academy."
"Greetings, Third Prince! Greetings, both instructors!"
"These two are the best students from Imperial Capital Academy. The one on the left is surnamed Nie, and the one on the right is surnamed Long. The girl on the other side is the dean's granddaughter, Shen Jingyi!" The dean didn't mention their names when introducing them, as it was somewhat taboo. After greeting the two, they stood aside.
The Third Prince looked at Wen Xuerou with a mixture of amusement and relief. It was good she was alright! He stood up and walked towards her. The others stared at his actions, bewildered.
"Raise your head!" He walked up to Wen Xuerou and said.
"Yes!" Wen Xuerou raised her head, and upon seeing the person, her pupils contracted, and she was startled. It was him!
"Surprised? Unexpected?" The Third Prince smiled and pulled her hand, leading her to the side.
"Huh~" Thor was dumbfounded. What was going on? Did these two know each other?
"Third Prince, do you know him?" She couldn't help but ask the question.
"Yes! She was supposed to go to the capital with me, but something unexpected happened along the way, so we separated!"
"Oh!" Thor suddenly realized that he was the companion that Cheryl had mentioned, and one with such a high status.
"Congratulations to the Third Prince for finding his former companion!" Everyone present was perceptive, so upon hearing his words, they all offered their congratulations with smiles.
"Hehe!" He pulled Wen Xuerou to Nie Shangheng and laughed smugly.
"Is this the amazing person I told you about who can cook such delicious food? Would you like to see him?"
Nie Shangheng leaned back lazily, looking at the two of them expressionlessly, and said in a cold voice, "No need! I'm tired, I'm leaving!" After saying that, he got up and headed towards his room.
"You..." She felt a pang of disappointment, but remembering that someone was beside her, she quickly recovered and changed the subject. "Hehe! Rou Rou, don't mind him, that's just how he is, incredibly arrogant, he doesn't talk to anyone. By the way, how have you been lately?"
"Yes! I was saved by Thor, and I've been staying with him for a while now. So, what's wrong with you...?" He hesitated for a moment before asking the question.
"I went out to have fun!"
In short, it makes it very clear that people of high status generally lack a certain degree of freedom.
"Third Prince, we've prepared some delicious food for you later. As for that Young Master Nie..."
"Don't worry about him, he'll find food himself when he's hungry."
"Alright! Now that preparations are almost complete, Your Highness and everyone else, please proceed to the front hall." After wandering around outside, the vice-dean returned to consult with everyone.
"Okay!" He turned to look at Wen Xuerou, gazing at her tenderly, "Let's go too!" After he finished speaking, everyone in the hall left.
"At the dinner table, drinks are exchanged, one after another."
The Third Prince said, “I’m sorry to bother you this time. I can tell you’ve put a lot of thought into preparing such a large table of delicious food. Although we are currently eating plenty of nutritional supplements, it’s always nice to have something different to eat every now and then.”
"No, no, this food is all Thor's doing. I hope everyone won't find it offensive," the Dean said modestly. He had started preparing this after hearing that people from the capital were coming half a month ago. Resources on the planet were scarce, and many food ingredients mentioned in ancient books were no longer available. Preparing this had indeed been quite a task; they had sent people to Water Blue Star to find it. They were very grateful for Thor's help; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to obtain these things. And let me tell you, this food is truly delicious.
"Oh? This must be the famous Thor? Haha! It's a pleasure to meet you!" The Third Prince laughed heartily as he looked at Thor.
"You flatter me! It was all thanks to everyone's concerted efforts that we were able to get our hands on it, so the credit belongs to everyone!"
Thor's words were well-received; although he was a bit of a chatterbox, his straightforward personality made him quite popular!
"Come, come, have a good taste. You've come all this way, so this is how we show our hospitality."
"good!"
"What's this dish called? It tastes so good!"
"Yes! Its name is Thousand-Layer Cured Meat!"
"Oh! How was this meat made?"
"Your Highness, this is the meat of a Star Beast, smoked, hence the name 'smoked cured meat'."
"No wonder it tastes so good!"
"Hehe!" Thor felt a surge of pride, not even realizing who came up with the idea.
"Your Highness, these are all rare dishes. Shall we invite Young Master Nie down to try them?" the dean tentatively suggested.
"No need, there should still be some left. I'll just send some up to him later. He doesn't like being disturbed when it's quiet," the Third Prince said casually. As a friend of several years, he knew him very well. If he hadn't gone to great lengths, the Third Prince wouldn't have come here with him.
"All right!"
...
After the meal, the group was supposed to go out for entertainment, but since everyone had important matters to attend to, they decided not to go and instead planned to rest early so they would be energetic the next day.
Thor and the Dean also stayed at this hotel, planning to return to the academy together the next day.
