Chapter 50
Jin Yi's appearances are always full of charisma and have a strong presence. But now, the moment Jin Yi appeared, she stared at Bin Lan, her inorganic golden eyes looking somewhat unfriendly.
Binlan, who had been smiling at Chenxi, withdrew her hand, stood up straight, and looked up to meet Jinyi's gaze. A strange aura seemed to permeate the air between them, making the flow of air seem to slow down.
After a moment of stunned silence, Chen Xi belatedly realized that this scene might be the legendary "caught in the act" scenario.
Oh no, Jin Yi must have heard what Bin Lan just said! What are we going to do now?!
However, before Chen Xi could even grapple with the matter, Jin Yi and Bin Lan seemed unwilling to resolve it in front of her, and the two turned to leave one after the other.
Chenxi became even more anxious. What if they started fighting?
Seemingly sensing Chen Xi's worry, Jin Yi, who was walking ahead, paused, turned around, took a piece of pastry that Chen Xi liked from the plate and fed it to Chen Xi. He then reached out and touched Chen Xi's hair, saying, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Binlan, who was standing nearby, picked up the 2-in-1 tablet that Chenxi had just thrown on the bed, adjusted the page, and put it back in Chenxi's hand, saying in a clear voice, "Binlan will be back soon."
These words made Jin Yi glance at him sideways, but ultimately, fearing that Chen Xi would worry, she didn't say anything.
With the two people's assurances, Chenxi finally felt somewhat relieved. However, after they left, listening to the lively background music of the game, he just couldn't continue playing.
On the other side, Jin Yi and Bin Lan, who walked out one after the other, stopped in a secluded place.
At this moment, Jin Yi made no attempt to hide his hostility. He turned around and stared coldly at Bin Lan, saying, "What were you doing just now?"
However, when faced with the mastermind's questioning, Binlan remained calm and composed, saying in a steady voice, "Do what I have to do."
Jin Yi's gaze grew even colder.
“I didn’t do anything wrong. Chenxi has the right to choose who becomes his companion robot, doesn’t he?” Binlan said, even showing a slight smile on his face.
The scene fell silent again. Binlan's smile seemed to say, "Even if you are the mastermind, you have no right to interfere with human choices."
Seeing Binlan's smile, Jin Yi's previously furious mind finally calmed down a little. He knew that Binlan was right. He was the main brain, and he could use this advantage to have more opportunities to interact with Chen Xi. However, he did not directly make the decision to become Chen Xi's companion robot.
Choosing which robot to be one's companion has always been a right unique to humans.
Even if he did do that, the entire Grimm would probably not agree. There is already a lot of discontent within the Grimm. If he does something even more outrageous, the Grimm might really have its first-ever large-scale revolution because of its dissatisfaction with him as the mastermind.
Therefore, the decision of which robot to choose as a companion can only be made by Chenxi herself.
However, when Jin Yi looked at the smile on Bin Lan's face, he suddenly narrowed his eyes, then calmed down and adopted a different kind of superior attitude.
Binlan keenly noticed Jin Yi's change, and the smile on his face disappeared.
Jin Yi looked down at Bin Lan with disdain. The reason for his superior attitude was not because of his position as the mastermind, but for another reason, a kind of self-confidence from within. He said slowly, "Alright, then let's see who Chen Xi will choose in the end."
After saying this, Jin Yi glanced at Bin Lan, then tossed her shawl and strode away.
Binlan, who remained where he was, looked extremely pale.
Every member of the intelligent race is a super brain. They are not only knowledgeable about the past and present, with extremely comprehensive and profound knowledge, but also masters of human psychology. In addition, they have powerful calculation and deductive abilities, so predicting the outcome is not a difficult task for them.
All the signs that have emerged now undoubtedly point to Jin Yi as the winner if Chen Xi really has to choose one of the Zhizu as a companion robot.
Anyone can analyze this result, and this is actually the real reason why the Societies are so angry and dissatisfied with the AI.
...
...
On the other side, Jin Yi, who had confidently spoken to Bin Lan earlier, suddenly stopped walking on her way back to work.
At that moment, the scene of Binlan smiling and telling Chenxi that Binlan would be back soon suddenly flashed into his mind.
As the main brain, his super memory allows him to access any scene he has ever seen at any time. Right now, the scene of Binlan smiling and saying those words to Chenxi, while Chenxi obediently gazes at Binlan, appears in his mind.
Jin Yi felt inexplicably that the scene of the two of them staring at each other in silence was extremely jarring.
Moreover, Chenxi listens to Binlan far too much.
Thinking that Binlan would go back, that Chenxi was still waiting for him, and that they would still be alone together like this.
Jin Yi's beautiful eyebrows gradually furrowed, then tightened more and more, as if they had become a knot.
Then Jin Yi turned and strode towards Chen Xi's bedroom.
As Jin Yi walked, he told himself that he wasn't worried that Chen Xi would fall for Bin Lan. Chen Xi only liked him the most, and Bin Lan was far inferior to him.
He was just worried about his cunning kin. After all, the intelligent race, who were well-versed in human psychology, were capable of using any means necessary. He had to keep an eye on them. Yes, that was it.
So when Binlan returned to Chenxi's side, before he could even exchange a few words with her, the door was suddenly pushed open again with a bang, and Jin Yi walked in with a brisk pace, just like a replay of the previous scene.
Faced with the questioning looks from Chen Xi and Bin Lan, Jin Yi said without changing his expression, "I just remembered that I don't have anything to do today. I'll keep you company this afternoon."
Then, with Jin Yi accompanying her, she and Chen Xi seemed to become inseparable.
Not only on this day, nor only when facing Binlan and Chenxi, but after what happened with Binlan, Jin Yi seemed to suddenly develop a paranoia that made everyone seem like a bad person.
He always felt that all the intelligent beings who could have contact with Chenxi might take advantage of his absence to do what Binlan had done before.
As a result, all the orange-eyed intelligent beings became Jin Yi's primary targets for vigilance. The dark red-eyed guards also didn't seem very safe. In short, Jin Yi could only feel a little sense of security by staying with Chen Xi and never leaving her side.
Chenxi felt quite special being clung to by Jin Yi, but overall, she was still very happy.
In particular, Jin Yi now often stays with Chen Xi all night, which was something that rarely happened before, making Chen Xi both curious and excited.
For example, right now, Chenxi is comfortably leaning against Jinyi's chest, playfully asking Jinyi to tell her a story to lull her to sleep.
Jin Yi, who spoiled Chen Xi without any limits, naturally complied. So, her heavenly voice gently told a story in Chen Xi's ear, and Chen Xi listened attentively.
The story was wonderful, and the plot was very captivating, but for some reason, as Chen Xi listened, his attention shifted from the plot to the heavenly voice and the soft breathing in his ear, and then he couldn't help but think about the companion robot again.
Should he agree to let Jin Yi become his companion robot?
Chenxi doesn't have an answer to this question yet, but he has noticed that while both Binlan and Jin Yi have said they wanted to be his companion robot, he doesn't feel much conflicted about Binlan's words and rarely even thinks about them, but he does feel conflicted about Jin Yi's words.
Does this mean that I treat Jin Yi differently?
...
While Chenxi was still preoccupied with the matter of the companion robot, the starship fleet traveling through the universe finally arrived at their destination: the home planet of the second race they planned to visit, the home planet of the Canaanites.
The Canaanites were terrified and caught off guard by the overwhelming number of Intelligence starships that suddenly appeared in the sky.
For various reasons, the Canaanites did not directly participate in those races that secretly exchanged information with each other. Their information was undoubtedly much more limited, and they were even less prepared and fearful in the face of this situation.
When the aged Canaanite king heard the news of the arrival of the Intelligence starship, his cheeks twitched a few times. Beneath his forced calm, he could not hide his fear and heaviness.
But in the end, he kept a straight face and said as calmly as possible, "Help me out."
Not only the Canaanite palace, but also the Canaanite people were in chaos. All the Canaanite people hid in their houses in fear and panic, and closed the doors tightly.
They had no idea what they were about to face. The first arrival of the Intelligence Clan starships had taken away their third prince, and the second had taken away all the Earfox slaves. They had no idea what the Intelligence Clan starships would take this time.
Although the entire Canaanite tribe was in a state of extreme panic, the negotiations ultimately went very smoothly. After all, Chenxi came to the Canaanite tribe to have fun, not to scare them. Moreover, having learned from the previous experience, this time Chenxi directly assigned Ga'ai to explain the situation to the Canaanite king.
So the situation quickly reversed. The Canaanite king was shocked and incredulous when he saw Gae. He never expected that the son he had sent away would still be alive. Regardless of how much affection he had for Gae, the neglected prince, he was happy to see his son return alive. His original tension and fear also eased considerably.
Later, after listening to Gae's words, regardless of how much he believed them, he immediately welcomed the arrival of the Zhi people and promptly sent people to make arrangements to ensure that the Zhi people's travel needs were met.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Canaanite Crown Prince Gaye heard the news that Ga'ai had actually returned alive, and even returned with the Intelligence Clan's starship. He was so shocked that he stood up.
In fact, compared to his father, who was already old and frail and had devoted most of his energy to the internal affairs of the Canaanite tribe, leaving him with no energy to pay attention to other races, Gaye could be considered the person in charge of the Canaanite tribe's external affairs.
Some time ago, he represented the Canaanite tribe to attend the royal celebration of the Sangkuang tribe. However, since only some princes who were not worthy of being present came, and none of the royal heirs who were of equal status or familiar with him were there, he left early in disappointment. But when he returned to the Canaanite tribe, he still sensed that something was amiss.
After all, the royal celebration of the Sangkuang tribe is a major event. It is understandable that one or two tribes are unable to send their royal heirs due to other matters, but it is a bit unreasonable for all the royal heirs to be absent due to illness.
Moreover, it was the royal celebration of the Sangkuang tribe. It was quite absurd that the crown prince of the Sangkuang tribe did not show up at all on such an important occasion.
Not to mention that he always felt that the representatives of other races were acting strangely, as if their minds were not on the Sangkuang tribe's celebration at all, and the strange looks they frequently gave him made it seem as if his attendance was something very strange.
Those incidents, one after another, only annoyed him at the time, but when he thought about them afterward, they were all strange and bizarre, giving him a sense of unease and foreboding.
Now, hearing that Gae had actually returned alive, and that he was accompanied by the royal heirs, directly confirmed his ominous premonitions.
Jia Ye could no longer sit still and stood up, saying, "Let's go to Father Emperor's place."
