Chapter 102

The night was thick and dark, with countless undercurrents surging.

Bright light rose from the east, hiding the darkness in the shadows.

When Xia Yan woke up in the morning, both he and Grover had been removed from the hot searches, leaving only a few well-known and powerful warriors being enthusiastically counted by netizens.

#Judith Evelyn#

#Antonia Cleveland#

#Who is the No. 1 in your heart#

#Those major generals with great looks and fighting skills#

On the surface, everything seemed calm, no different from the past. Xia Yan glanced at it roughly, then turned off the computer in boredom and threw it in the direction of Ludwig.

"Give it back to you."

Ludwig put the things away, and stole a glance at the young man with the corner of his eyes, hiding his true feelings, and pretended to ask casually: "How was the date last night?"

?

The young man looked at him with a strange expression.

To be honest, Ludwig is not at all related to gossip. He looks very cold and inhuman, like a flower on a mountain ridge, making it difficult for people to approach him.

Such a person would actually care about his love life?

"It's okay." Someone who has never seen Ide lied without blinking, "That idiot was fascinated by me and used me like a dog."

Who hasn't had a chance to brag these days?

In order to consolidate his character as a scumbag, he burst out with 100% acting skills.

Xia Yan touched his nose with guilt.

However, what he didn't expect was that Ludwig was not angry, but rather had a kind of indescribable... happiness, and even the coldness in his eyes dissipated a little.

Xia Yan: "???" Confused.

The military school's courses were very full, and there was no time for them to chat. After the two of them washed up, they left the dormitory one after the other. During the time, they met people from other dormitories in the corridor.

Some of them looked at Xia Yan strangely, and kept peeking at him.

It was not like the positive gazes of admiration and envy in the past, but rather a kind of ridicule and contempt that made people uncomfortable.

Xia Yan was completely confused. He walked out of the dormitory with a calm face and a confused heart. As soon as he walked out, he was stopped by a senior in the third grade: "Young Master, the Duke has something to discuss with you and wants to ask you to go home."

"What about my classes today?"

"I have already asked for leave. Someone is outside to pick you up."

"Okay."

Xia Yan said goodbye to the senior and quickly rushed out of the school and got on the aircraft. Duke Xia's confidant was a man who looked very young.

He handed over the newly purchased intelligent computer and briefly told what happened last night during the flight.

Xia Yan sneered and pretended to be disdainful: "A mere A-level dares to compete with me?"

The confidant wore gold-rimmed glasses, had thin lips and thin cheeks, and looked very shrewd. He followed Xia Yan's words and flattered him without leaving any trace, making the stupid and arrogant young master very happy.

Approaching the Duke's manor, Xia Yan became nervous belatedly.

He had never come into contact with the original owner's family in the two worlds he had traveled through so far. What should he do when he meets them later? What if he can't call mom and dad?

The Xia family has inherited the title from generation to generation, has a long history, and has accumulated great wealth.

Especially this generation's Xia Jiuqian married the youngest daughter of the richest man in the empire. The strong alliance and mutual benefit have pushed the status of both parties to a new height.

Even the current emperor needs to be courteous to them.

Because the emperor's only offspring was lost, Xia Yan had the highest status among the younger generation. Even Grover had been plotting behind his back and did not dare to confront him in person.

While thinking, Xia Yan walked into the living room.

"Baby!!! Mommy misses you so much."

A fragrant breeze blew in, accompanied by the sound of high heels. A sexy and beautiful woman held the young man's face with both hands and kneaded it affectionately.

"Are you busy with schoolwork? Have you eaten well? Don't worry about the things on the Internet. Mommy will not let go of any of those who bully you."

At the end, the originally light voice was a bit cruel.

"Lina, you are too excited." The man who lagged behind helplessly raised his lips and gently pulled his wife away.

The woman let go of her hand and complained with a pout: "It's been hundreds of years. When will the rules of the Imperial Military Academy be changed? Why do we have to live in the school? We can only go home once a month. Baby will forget what mom looks like?"

Xia Jiuqian put his arm around his wife's waist and whispered to comfort her.

Xia Yan looked at them inconspicuously.

The average life expectancy in the interstellar world is 500 years old. This couple with an average age of over 100 years old looks like young people in their twenties to the naked eye.

As the daughter of the richest man, Lina Carter has been pampered since childhood. She has a sense of laziness, charm and relaxation. When she raises her eyebrows and looks at people, she appears a bit stern.

Xia Jiuqian has a typical Chinese appearance, with black hair and black eyes, a smooth jawline, and no obvious sense of bones. He looks gentle and elegant, like a friendly and kind senior on campus, and very reliable.

Many people were deceived by his appearance, and only realized that he was a black-hearted fox until they were cheated out of their pants.

They were so young, but the way they looked at him was full of familiar love that only belongs to elders. In a trance, Xia Yan thought that his parents had traveled through time with him.

"Mom... Dad..."

He murmured unconsciously.

Xia Jiuqian: "Hmm?"

"Nothing." Xia Yan came back to his senses and recalled the memory of the original owner and his parents. He maintained his persona, frowned, and complained unhappily: "There is a bunch of idiots in the law enforcement team. Even the physical evidence was stolen. I highly doubt their ability to do the job."

Duke Xia did not respond. Instead, he glanced at the servants around him and said, "All of you go down."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke."

The servants filed out, and the entire hall was suddenly left with only their family of three, which seemed a little empty.

Xia Yan curled his lips: "A bunch of commoners, so what if they knew? They wouldn't dare to tell anyone anyway."

Duke Xia: "..."

Lina: "..."

The young man's arrogant and naive look... made the married couple feel both cute and a little headache. Lina picked up a cup of scented tea and said worriedly for the hundred and first time: "Dear, is our child really suitable to be the king?" "

..." Xia Jiuqian rubbed his brows, "I didn't want him to compete for the throne from the beginning."

"Father! Mother!!" In front of his parents, the always arrogant young man widened his eyes in disbelief, and acted like a child, "I am better than Grover, and I have golden eyes. I am born to sit on the supreme position. How can you not support my dream? This makes me sad."

The young man in his early twenties still had a bit of childishness on his cheeks, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and his peach blossom eyes were filled with a layer of disappointment, like a cub beaten by a lion.

Lina's heart was broken.

How could he remember whether it was suitable or not?

They could never reject their own children.

"Baby! Of course Mom supports you." The woman stood up, hugged the young man, and patted his back soothingly, "No matter what you want to do, Mom will help you do it at all costs."

"Thank you, Mom." Xia Yan nodded obediently, and looked at his father silently.

Even when facing the Zerg slapping his face and the line of life and death, the Duke remained calm. At this time, he was a little stiff. He changed the topic stiffly: "Take a look at this document."

The young man urged: "Dad."

"..." The Duke surrendered, "You know, Dad will always support you, I just don't know how to express it directly."

"Of course I know, Dad." After getting the affirmative answer from his parents, the young man finally smiled, "But I want to hear you say it." He let go of his mother and walked over to give his father a warm hug.

No matter how the outside world judges them, they are indeed a loving family of three.

The duality of human nature is fully displayed here. The outside world always thinks that Xia Yan wants to fight for the throne because Duke Xia is ambitious and manipulates his son to gain supreme power.

Who would have thought that it was Xia Yan himself who was ready to move?

Duke Xia said that he had a document for Xia Yan and he was not lying. He did receive a very interesting intelligence from the border. Although the Grover Gillingham family is not as powerful as the Xia family, it should not be underestimated. There are many talented people under his command, but such a person... has recently been pestering a mecha master and wants to recruit him.

"So?"

"The one who can be invited by him personally must have some talent." Duke Xia took out an invitation to the auction: "You can go with us. It would be best if you can recruit someone. If not, Grover cannot succeed."

Lina: "Baby, just treat it as a place to relax. Buy whatever you like."

As for the school, they will naturally take care of it.

"I understand." The young man took the invitation and raised his eyebrows nonchalantly. "Although I don't think this mecha master can be more powerful than the one I like, I don't mind playing with them."

This part does not seem to be in the original plot, but the plot that Xia Yan received was fragmented.

The auction lasted for three days, and it was completely possible to return to school before the duel with Huo Ruihe. As long as he did not deviate too much from the plot and could complete the task, Xia Yan did not care about some small details.

The other side -

the distant border.

The tall red-haired man carefully looked at the information in his hand, his eyes lingering on the strange yet familiar head portrait for a long time. When he was let go last night, he was anxious to catch the young man and lock him by his side viciously.

But after seeing the real photo, he lost his impulse in an instant.

He couldn't even figure out why he was obsessed with him like a demon before.

"Cool!" The confidant beside him whistled in a vulgar tone, "Sister-in-law is actually a noble of the empire, and she may inherit the throne in the future. We will have someone behind us in the future."

Yide nodded indifferently and threw the information into the trash can uninterested.

The man thought that Xia Yan was still upset about being stood up yesterday, so he turned on his brain and explained on behalf of Xia Yan: "My sister-in-law's brain was taken away by the law enforcement team last night, so they couldn't contact you."

"Oh."

"But if your sister-in-law is Xia Yan, then Grover and I are enemies. Are you still going to the auction he invited you to?"

Yide glanced at him, and the man laughed: "By the way, you said before that you were going to see your sister-in-law. I guess you don't have time to go to the auction, so I refuse this."

"...No." Yide stopped him, "I'll go."

The subordinate: "???"

"Some people...it's better not to meet." Yide's expression was complicated. Since he only liked Xia Yan's image in the holographic world, it would be better to maintain the identities of both parties and keep this feeling.

The subordinate looked at the boss who suddenly became literary and artistic from his melancholy and fell silent.

This is not your style!
