Ni Jin felt a chill run down her spine as she heard this. She snorted in disdain, "You're a spoiled young lady, after all. What's so special about that idiot?"
Akashilia just found it funny: "Miss Ni's words are really inconsistent."
Ni Jin snorted coldly without explaining anything.

When Ai Yu returned home, it was lunch time.
Qian Cheng hurried over to pick her up, smiling: "You're back, come quickly, it's time for dinner."
Ai Yu smiled and said, "Okay."
Qian Cheng patted Ai Yu's shoulder, then put his hands in his pockets and asked, "Is there anywhere you want to go during the winter vacation?"
Ai Yu replied without thinking: "No."
"Is there anything you want to do?"
"Become stronger."
Qian Cheng: ...
"Sister, life is short. Although our current environment is not as good as it was a hundred years ago, we still have to enjoy ourselves. Don't let your nerves be on edge all the time. Holidays are meant for you to relax. If you're like this, what difference does it make whether you take a break or not?"
Ai Yu still said stubbornly: "I don't want to go out and play, I just want to become stronger."
"In that case, let me help you get stronger. After dinner, I'll call dad and ask him to hire some tutors for us."
Ai Yu looked at Qian Cheng with a strange look.
Qian Cheng realized it later.
With the summoner Ai Yu by their side, do they need a tutor?
"Have you decided who to recruit as our tutor?"
Ai Yu is a master of historical figures, and here are a few: "Jiang Taigong, the founder of military strategy in the Western Zhou Dynasty; Guan Zhong, the first strategist of the Spring and Autumn Period; Fan Li, whose brilliant plans led to his hegemony; Li Si, who planned the rise and fall of the Qin Dynasty; Zhang Liang, who won victories thousands of miles away; Zhuge Liang, who devoted his life to the country; Wei Zheng, the counselor of state; Zhao Pu, the meritorious official of the Northern Song Dynasty; Liu Ji, the founding hero; and Hong Chengchou, the meritorious official of two dynasties."
Qian Cheng listened quietly and realized something was wrong: "Sister, these people you mentioned are all first-class counselors. You... what's the use of learning the ability to govern a country..."
"I know." Ai Yu raised two fingers and closed his eyes slightly. "As a strategist, if I can't even protect my own life, how can I plan for people, soldiers, the country, and the world? Using my own strategies to survive and live a meaningful life is the most basic requirement for becoming a strategist.
Step by step, if a person is to "serve the state," he must possess far-sightedness and superhuman insight, which are not possessed by ordinary people. Finally, the ultimate goal is to "serve the world."
Ai Yu raised the corner of his lips slightly. "As a summoner, shouldn't I also be a strategist? First, I must plan for my own life and death; second, I must plan for the thoughts of others; third, I must plan for capturing pawns in chess. On the battlefield, I am the core of the entire group. If I only rely on my summons, then death is not far away."
“There are so many things I need to learn.”
What Ai Yu didn't say was that she wanted to rule the world.
She wants to find Xila and change the current situation in the world.
Qian Cheng gasped: "Sister, you are awesome."
Ai Yu's smile deepened: "I just want... to let someone live a peaceful life." In order to achieve this goal, the complexity involved is self-evident. She is not afraid of hard work, she just wants to repay his life-saving grace.
Qian Cheng felt something was wrong: "Tell me the truth, who is that person? Do you like him? How old is he?"
"No, you're overthinking it." Ai Yu quickened her pace and walked towards the restaurant. "It's not love. I don't understand love, and I won't understand it in the future. Don't overthink it."
"That's not the case. Love is something that most people go through. It's not that I forbid you from dating, but you're still relatively young. You should wait until you're an adult before getting involved in this matter. Actually, as long as you like someone, they're not some unforgivable villain, and they're sincere to you, I'll support them."
Ai Yu was in a good mood today. During the meal, she talked a lot with Qian Cheng.
Qian Cheng was happy to see Ai Yu like this.
In the garden, the family's hired servants were weeding and loosening the frozen soil. It was already early February, and spring would soon arrive. While summer and winter were particularly harsh on Blue Star right now, spring was still just as pleasant. It was just that some people had to guard against the rampant growth of alien plants.
Qian Cheng and the other man sat cross-legged in front of the French window. He held a copy of the Historical Records and pointed at Qin Shi Huang, saying, "Ai Cheng, I want to see our charming ancestor."
Ai Yu was quite helpless: "Why summon him out?"
"Emperor Qin Shi Huang's wisdom, decision-making, and courage—which one of them isn't enough to fascinate us, the later generations? Oh, Ai Yu, let's not rush our studies. Let me just chase some stars first."
"Okay." Ai Yu pondered for a moment, stood up, tidied his appearance, and knelt down.
Qian Cheng understood, walked to Ai Yu's side, tidied himself up, and knelt down side by side.
"In my name, I summon you to the battle formation. Ying Zheng, enter the battle formation!"
From in front of the two of them, a tall dark figure stepped into the air, with a stern face, looking down at them.
Ai Yu said respectfully, "Junior Ai Yu, next to me is my sworn brother Qian Cheng. I'm honored to meet Zulong. I hope Zulong will not be offended by my intrusion."
Ying Zheng leaned forward slightly and helped the two men up. "I have long been a wandering ghost. There is no need for such great courtesy. Why did you call me out?"
Ai Yu didn't answer, her eyes fell on Qian Cheng.
Qian Cheng scratched his head sheepishly and chuckled, "It's like this, Lord Zulong. Every time I open the history books, I'm impressed by your heroic deeds. It just so happens that Ai Yu's Sariel can summon the spirits of past heroes, so I selfishly wanted to meet you in person."
I believe that most people have a special, inexplicable feeling towards Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "Success is death, failure is death. Without immortality, all is illusory."
Qian Cheng shook his head: "Lord Zulong, you are wrong. Do you know how your great unification has influenced countless generations of Chinese people? China has remained prosperous for thousands of years, and you have made an indelible contribution."
Ying Zheng put his hands behind his back, a faint smile on his lips: "That's good. Even if Qin II dies, I will feel comforted."
Qian Cheng opened his mouth several times, not knowing how to appease Ying Zheng with these words.
Ai Yu extended his hand: "Ying Zheng, since you have come here in response to my summons, please respond to my request."
She raised her hand and bowed like the ancients: "Ai Yu, I would like to ask you for advice on the art of ruling. Please be generous with your guidance."
Ying Zheng was puzzled: "You were born in this world and have this ability. What you should learn is the art of using troops. Why do you need the art of being an emperor?"
Qian Cheng was also puzzled: "Yes, Ai Yu, the art of emperorship is... unnecessary, right?"
We were clearly talking about counselors just now, how come it's becoming the art of ruling the country now?
Ai Yu was stubborn and said, "Please, Ying Zheng, teach me the art of being an emperor!"
