Chapter 396 Visiting the Nine-Tailed Fox
Ning Xuan frowned and asked Yu Mingche, "Didn't you ask someone to cut out that scene of mine?"
As early as the Alchemist Competition, in order to protect Ning Xuan, Ying Yaoshi had told Yan Fuzhen not to let Ning Xuan's image leak out. Later, Yu Mingche came to Ning Xuan's side and also handled those reports that might expose Ning Xuan's appearance for Ning Xuan.
"I'm sorry, Master. When the military propaganda department received this video, they were just about to inform the public about the situation of this large-scale battle. The war videos left on other battlefields are all scenes of human defeat on the battlefield, with heavy casualties. If it were to be circulated, it would inevitably affect the public's morale and affect the new round of recruitment plans."
"Only Lan Xin's fight was very intense and evenly matched, and she won in the end, so we unanimously decided to post the video on Starnet."
"At the same time, because the Life Research Institute received the active gene of the semi-transformed SSS-level space beast submitted by Lan Xin, the usually aloof and mysterious Life Research Institute reposted this video on its official website. As a result, the situation became out of control, and Ying Shuai had no way to withdraw the video."
Yu Mingche already understood the cause and effect of this matter clearly. All he could say was that it was inevitable due to current events.
Ning Xuan listened to Yu Mingche's explanation and didn't think any more about it. The protagonists in that video were the star beast and Lan Xin, and she was not filmed from many angles. People who had seen her before could recognize her based on some guesses, but people who had never seen her before would not be able to describe her appearance through that blurry image.
Of course, this only applies to ordinary people. It does not rule out that some people have special abilities.
Ning Xuan watched the video of Lan Xin being interviewed. His face was abnormally pale, and his brows were wrinkled from time to time. When he stood up to leave, his legs and feet were so weak that he almost fell down. Barrages of comments flashed above the video from time to time. Most of them felt sorry for Lan Xin's injury. It was obvious that he was seriously injured and in pain. It was really not easy for him to be pulled out for an interview. Some people asked in the barrage who Lan Xin's master was, and called on the master to quickly treat General Lan's injuries. After all, General Lan was so powerful, his master was really lucky, and now he is soaring to the sky.
Yu Mingche was so angry when he saw those comments that his face turned pale. His knuckles were clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound. Unfortunately, this video was not live and he could not edit the comments. Otherwise, Yu Mingche would have scolded Lan Xin. What did he mean by his master was just lucky? It was Lan Xin who was just lucky. If Ning Xuan hadn't linked him, would he have had a chance to go to the battlefield? This time, if Ning Xuan hadn't saved him, would he have been able to walk off the battlefield alive?
Ning Xuan didn't feel anything about these comments. The military intended to build momentum for the autumn conscription and promoted Lan Xin. It was normal for ordinary people on Starnet to be influenced by this environment and to follow Lan Xin.
After returning to the Central Star, Ning Xuan closed the door to visitors under the pretext of recuperating from injuries, and turned away most visitors. However, there were always some personal relationships that could not be refused. For example, President Lan of the Orc Association sneaked into Ning Xuan's villa under the pretext of visiting the younger generation of the tribe.
President Lan watched Jiuwei kneading the dough slowly and leisurely. The originally bumpy dough soon became smooth after being kneaded and pressed by him.
Even in a place like Central Star where the rich and powerful gather, only a very small number of people can afford to eat exquisite grains like wheat.
The kitchen was filled with the sweet smell of butter and vanilla. The dough that Jiuwei kneaded must not be ordinary dough, but something more precious was added to it.
"Xiao Jiu, look at yourself. In the past, you seemed more gentle and lovely than Lan Xin. You also have a very impressive appearance. I thought you had a promising future. But why haven't you made any progress? Lan Xin has already been awarded the rank of general, but you are not in a hurry at all. Do you know what you are here for?" President Lan said to Jiuwei with a look of disappointment on his face.
President Lan was followed by two handsome young men, one of whom was Lan Xin's half-brother.
The two young men looked at Kyuubi's kitchen with curiosity. The kitchen was very large, and there were several servants busying around inside. Those people obeyed Kyuubi's orders and treated Kyuubi with great respect.
"I know. We are all here to serve the master. Uncle Lan, Lan Xin and I are very grateful to you. Thank you for using President Wang's relationship to assign a good master to us." Jiuwei spoke while busying himself with the work in his hands.
Jiuwei's slender fingers were very dexterous. He had divided the dough into small pieces and molded each piece into an exquisite shape.
President Lan noticed that he was pinching a little fox, and with a light flick of his fingertips, a little fox's ear popped out. He used a bamboo stick to carefully carve out the texture of the fur, and each line was just the right depth, as if the fur would tremble in the wind in the next second.
Finally, he dipped a little bit of edible gold powder and dotted it on the fox's eyes. The cunning eyes suddenly seemed to come alive.
"You were trained in an underground training center. Did they teach you these skills there?" President Lan asked, his eyes sweeping over the lifelike snacks.
He reached out to poke the white tiger-shaped one, but Kyuubi slapped him unceremoniously, "Don't touch it."
"The training center only teaches rules, and these are pointed out by the master. The master likes cute things, especially the animal-shaped snacks I make. The master will be happy when he sees them." Jiuwei thought of Ning Xuan, and there was a warm smile in his eyes.
Kyuubi didn't react at all to President Lan's words that he was a loser, and was completely immersed in his own world.
"Brother Jiuwei, the menu you prepared is ready. There are still five minutes before the head of the family's meal time. Please come over and check it." A young servant came over and said to Jiuwei.
"Uncle Lan, you said you wanted to visit me, but you have already visited me. The host is about to have dinner, so why don't you go back first?" Jiuwei politely ordered him to leave.
When President Lan heard Jiuwei say this, he couldn't help but smile, "Jiuwei, since you are here, how can you not pay your respects to your master? I also want to thank Miss Ning in person for her support of Lan Xin. Lan Yu, sake, come on, help serve the dishes later."
President Lan originally wanted to visit under the pretext of visiting Ning Xuan, but was rejected. It was then Lan Yu who suggested changing the excuse and saying that he wanted to visit Jiuwei. Unexpectedly, he was let in, but as soon as he arrived, he was taken to the kitchen to see Jiuwei.
President Lan didn't consider at all whether his actions would bring trouble to Nine-Tailed Fox. Nine-Tailed Fox sighed and didn't want to chase him away, so he could only let him wait here while he went to report the matter to his master.
