Beyond the Triad system, a dazzling planet.
The old man stood on the platform and casually waved his hand, causing a screen of light to pour down behind him, changing shape with his gesture.
The old man explained, "This is the closest galaxy to us that harbors life, called the Tripartite Galaxy. People live there..."
He suddenly frowned and said to the students below, "Class, I'll be right back in a minute."
But he didn't leave; instead, he remained frozen in place, motionless.
Below sat rows of students who looked to be around ten years old. They seemed quite used to this scene and started laughing and joking while the teacher was lost in thought.
One of the students reached out towards the water cup on another student's desk, and the water cup simply floated into the air!
The student whose water cup was snatched snorted disdainfully, his eyes flickered slightly, and the cup seemed to be held down by something, falling back onto the table.
This is a contest of mental micro-management skills. These children are all old enough to practice this, and they are already used to this kind of play.
"Shh, stop fooling around, the teacher is back."
The old man's eyes moved, and he regained his figure, as if his spiritual power had not crossed tens of thousands of light-years to save a dying girl.
He casually remarked, "Who do you think you are, daring to touch the people I've marked?"
The students below weren't afraid of their teacher at all, chattering and asking, "Teacher, teacher, where have you been?"
"Teacher, who are you yelling at?!"
"Teacher, is someone bullying you? We'll help you when we grow up!"
The old woman looked kindly at the innocent and adorable children below. "Many years ago, I took in a student. She was in a bit of danger just now, and I went to help her."
"Is that your older sister?"
"I want an older brother!"
"Teacher, when will she come to class?"
How old is he this year?
Is he good? Is he better than us?
"What's her mental strength level? Is it higher than ours?"
A faint smile appeared in the old man's eyes as he recalled the girl's growth over the years. "She's the older sister, she's amazing, she's... the darling of the universe."
-------------------------------------
Ruan Chen opened her eyes and was greeted by a somewhat old ceiling.
The air smelled clean, without the disinfectant smell of a hospital.
She turned her head with difficulty, and this small movement caused a wave of dizziness, making her stomach churn.
Ruan Chen hadn't felt this mentally exhausted in many years.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw an IV drip in the side and a coat draped over the back of a chair next to the bed; it belonged to Fu Jianzhi.
The sound of turning the lock came from the doorway. Fu Jianzhi walked in, unshaven, his shirt sleeves rolled up unevenly, and his eyes bloodshot.
He didn't look at Ruan Chen's bed after he came in, as if he had been disappointed many times.
"How did you handle it?" Ruan Chen didn't want to create any surprises, and she was too lazy to pretend to be asleep after waking up. Putting aside the past, she and Fu Jianzhi were now in a cooperative relationship, and the Ruan Group and the Fu Group were now business partners. It was only natural that Fu Jianzhi saved her.
Fu Jianzhi paused for a moment, then looked at Ruan Chen. Unable to contain his excitement, he took two quick steps toward Ruan Chen and reached out to touch her face.
Without thinking, Ruan Chen dodged to the side, the movement being a bit too large, causing her face, which had just regained some color, to turn pale again in an instant.
Fu Jianzhi's fingers froze awkwardly in mid-air. Then, as if nothing had happened, he naturally lowered them to tuck Ruan Chen in and began to talk about business.
"My explanation to the outside world is that I just arrived and got sick due to the change in environment." Fu Jianzhi kept talking while his hands were busy pouring water for Ruan Chen, testing the water temperature, and carefully helping Ruan Chen to sit up.
“I took out the agency contract and said that you entrusted me with handling the cooperation with the Spirit Clan,” the agency contract was naturally a forgery of Ruan Chen’s handwriting by Fu Jianzhi. “Our two families have always been in a cooperative relationship, and as you know, there have always been a lot of rumors between us, so no one has any doubts.”
"But I didn't hide this from Yan Qian. After all, I smashed both of our cars to pieces while trying to stop your out-of-control car."
Fu Jianzhi spoke in a relaxed tone, but only he knew how dangerous the scene had been.
“Yan Qian said this is a matter of her clan, and as the Holy Maiden, she will handle it herself. However, she will give you an explanation when you wake up.” Fu Jianzhi naturally took the empty cup from Ruan Chen’s hand. “What I know so far is that Yan Qian has placed those old geezers under house arrest.”
Ruan Chen spoke, her voice no longer hoarse, "Those old men are very strange. Can Yan Qian control them?"
“Even tigers don’t eat their cubs. Yan Qian has assigned the young people of the Spirit Clan to guard them. Even if those old fogies want to run away, they will have to consider the lives of the young people in the clan. The Spirit Clan has suffered a severe population decline in recent years, especially the number of people with pure bloodlines. Every single one of them is as precious as the eye of their clan.”
Yan Qian has become more shrewd, Ruan Chen smiled subconsciously.
"Sis, you rest, I won't bother you anymore," Fu Jianzhi said, seemingly patting Ruan Chen's head as if petting a cat. "The doctor said that your mental strength was severely damaged before, and this time it has triggered your old problems. If you don't rest properly, you will suffer from sequelae in the future."
Ruan Chen originally wanted to reprimand Fu Jianzhi for making such frivolous gestures, but upon hearing Fu Jianzhi's words, she immediately forgot the reprimand she was about to utter. "Do I know this doctor?"
“Sister, it’s an old friend of yours.” Fu Jianzhi squinted with pleasure, savoring the feel and warmth of the hand she had just rubbed. “Lin Fengzi, he participates in medical relief operations without borders for several months every year, and he happens to be in the Northern Islands this month.”
