After listening to Lu Yang's words of caution, Lan Ping prepared to leave with Lan Shuang. When she was about to leave, Lan Ping paused and her expression suddenly changed.
Lan Shuang looked at him in confusion. What happened?
888 raised his hand. "It's like this. Lan Ping is a knight and is extremely sensitive to pheromones. When he smells pheromones of a higher level than his own, he will automatically enter a state of alert."
"In other words, someone who is much stronger than Lan Ping just passed by?" Lan Shuang thought of the tall figure she saw just now, it should be him.
888 snapped his fingers: "Bingo~"
And he is not only stronger than Lan Ping, but also your future husband.
But I can’t say this for now.
888, the only one who knew the truth, sighed to the sky. It felt so bad to know everything but not be able to say anything!
Lan Ping stared into the corridor for a while and whispered, "Andre, go check who came just now."
"yes."
…
Lan Shuang sat quietly in the hovercraft for a while before Andre hurried back with a serious expression.
Lan Shuang immediately pricked up her gossipy ears.
"Who is it?" Lan Ping's eyes were gloomy.
Andre watched the car door close before he whispered, "Returning to the master, it's the new general promoted by the president. I think his name is Nian Siyan."
Lan Shuang and Lan Ping were both stunned.
Nian Siyan, isn’t that the lover that the original owner missed in her previous life?
"It's him?" Lan Ping narrowed his eyes. "Nian Siyan...what is he doing in the hospital? Is he injured?"
Andre shook his head: "No, I heard it was during the susceptible period and it was a bit difficult to control, so I came to the hospital for isolation."
Lan Ping's expression became subtle: "Is it really that serious?"
Andre curled his lips and said, "The stronger the knight's mental strength, the more severe the susceptible period. I heard that Nian Siyan is SS-level. I guess he is no different from a beast at this time."
Lan Shuang didn't take it seriously. Although she only saw a fleeting glimpse of his profile in the hospital, he looked very rational.
The susceptible period of the Knight is similar to the estrus period of the Messenger, but the Messenger is not very aggressive during the estrus period, while the susceptible period of the Knight is much more dangerous. At this time, their emotions fluctuate greatly, they are very sensitive, and it is easy for them to get stuck in a dead end and go to extremes. Their destructive power also increases exponentially. If they are not careful, they may hurt themselves or attack others. The pain they have to endure at this time is not something that ordinary people can withstand.
So after reaching adulthood, knights would look for matching messengers so that they could comfort each other and resolve the issue.
But Nian Siyan is still a bachelor, so he can only go to the hospital for isolation.
Lan Ping was silent for a moment, his eyes gleaming as he asked again, "Is Nian Siyan still single?"
Andre nodded and said, "Yes, Patriarch, his marriage information is public and can be found on the Star Network. He is indeed single and has no one in a relationship."
Lan Ping suddenly smiled and said, "Very good."
Lan Shuang: “…”
Sure enough, he was setting his sights on others again.
She lowered her eyes to look at her fingertips, revealing a subtle smile, but in this life, she would no longer be led by them by the nose.
…
After returning to the Lan family, Lan Ping called Lan Shuang to the study. Seeing this, the others couldn't help but become curious.
I don’t know what the results of this examination are, but the head of the family looks pretty good, so there shouldn’t be any problems?
Some people looked at Lan Shuang with disappointment in their eyes.
Lan Shuang resisted the urge to roll her eyes. She thought, "Why are you guys so revealing your emotions? You really don't take me seriously. You don't even pretend."
After entering the study, Lan Ping sat down and said straight to the point, "You also know why I brought you back. Andre should have told you."
Lan Shuang didn't need him to say anything and sat down opposite him, calm and composed, with a steadiness that didn't match her age.
She nodded, "You took me back because I haven't differentiated yet and have the potential to become a knight."
Seeing her like this, Lan Ping couldn't help but scrutinize her a bit more. He then pulled a paper contract from a drawer and handed it to her. "We in the Lan family don't keep idlers. If you fail to become an envoy, I will send you away. Of course, you are my child after all. I will give you a sum of money to ensure you have food and clothing for the rest of your life, but you cannot appear on Planet Aquamarine again, and you cannot claim to be a child of the Lan family."
This is where we need to draw a clear line.
Lan Shuang looked at him calmly. Lan Ping handed her a pen and said, "This contract has a paper copy and an electronic copy. If you have no objection, you can sign it."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lan Shuang's terminal rang, and there was an unread message on it, which should be the contract that Lan Ping mentioned.
After a moment of silence, Lan Shuang picked up the contract and took a look. The terms and conditions on it were similar to what Lan Ping had said, and there were no traps, but this was not what she wanted.
She put the contract down and said generously under Lan Ping's indifferent gaze, "I have an objection. I think this contract needs to be revised."
Lan Ping narrowed his eyes slightly, and the aura around him became dangerous. "What did you say? These conditions are already very generous."
The implication is that you should stop when you are ahead and not be ungrateful.
Lan Shuang ignored his threats and said calmly, "I don't want any small mining planet. I'm alone and it's hard to defend. If I'm not careful, it will be plundered by space pirates. To me, this thing is too useless."
Lan Ping was stunned. How could she have thought of this? The previous children had been so happy when they learned about the mining star, thinking they had made a fortune, that they hadn't asked any questions.
How could someone from the slums be so clear about this?
The look in his eyes when he looked at Lan Shuang was no longer contemptuous, but more inquiring.
"Knights are of great significance to the Lan family. If you don't have a knight heir, the family will eventually be divided up among the side branches. By then, you will no longer be the head of the Lan family, and these contracts will naturally be invalid."
Lan Shuang smiled slightly and said, "So, if I successfully differentiate into a knight, my value to you will be immeasurable. If nothing unexpected happens, I will become the new head of the Lan family. At that time, the entire Lan family's wealth will be mine. What does a mining star mean to you?"
Lan Ping's face gradually darkened, but a sense of freshness arose in his heart.
"So what do you want?"
"I want a place in the First Federal College."
"What?" Lan Ping was stunned and asked again uncertainly: "What do you want?"
Lan Shuang patiently repeated, "Admission quota for the First Federal College."
888 was also curious: "Host, what do you want this place for? Do you want to go to school?"
Didn’t you say in the last life that you never wanted to take exams again?
Lan Shuang said to him, "No matter what era it is, knowledge is the only shortcut to changing one's destiny. I can't rely on the Lan family forever. I'm about to be separated. According to the original plot, I will definitely become an envoy. If I don't enter the academy, I will be forced to marry. Although envoys are rare, their status is very low and they are restricted in every way. Only by entering the academy can I find a way out."
This was Lan Shuang's first thought after receiving the basic information about this world.
