Chapter 32 Do you want to replace him?
Seeing the muscular man start crying again, Gu Xi couldn't help but wonder, is there a faucet in Chi Yan's eyes?
She pulled a tissue out of her pocket: "Here, wipe your tears, and come down in 20 minutes to get ready to go."
Chi Yan was still touched by Gu Xi's kindness to him. When he heard Gu Xi say to wipe his tears, he raised his hand and wiped his tears with the back of his hand.
After wiping it, she found the tissue in Gu Xi's hand, and her face suddenly turned red again: "Sorry, Your Excellency the Duke, I didn't notice that you handed me the tissue."
"fine."
Gu Xi took the tissue back, thinking about what his father had taught his brother. If one wanted to have a good relationship with male subordinates, one could make some polite physical contact in a brotherly manner when the subordinates were frustrated, and say encouraging words to bring the relationship closer.
In this way, subordinates will feel that their boss's care for them is sincere, which will deepen their sense of belonging to the company.
Now she is a duke and Chi Yan is her personal guard.
This can also be considered as a relationship between superiors and subordinates.
Not to mention Chi Yan, her subordinate, has a bit of an inferiority complex. Maybe she can try the method her father mentioned.
The polite and appropriate contact between brothers...
Gu Xi smiled and patted Chi Yan's forearm, because she could only touch this place of Chi Yan's that was polite and not overly intimate.
While filming, Gu Xi said some encouraging words: "I am very optimistic about your Chi Yan. You have been working hard to live, and you are kind and caring about the elderly males. You are excellent."
"If I can really restore your ability level, I believe you will become a good soldier to protect the empire. In the future, you may become a colonel or even an admiral."
Chi Yan's whole body became stiff after being slapped by Gu Xi.
It didn't hurt. Gu Xi didn't use any strength at all. Even if she did, she was a female and slapping Chi Yan twice would only make Chi Yan feel itchy.
What made him afraid to move was Gu Xi's hopeful eyes and gentle words.
Chi Yan couldn't believe that Gu Xi had such high hopes for him and felt that he could reach the level of Admiral Abis through hard work.
A force immediately rushed from Chi Yan's wildly beating heart to his brain, making his face turn red again.
"Thank you, Your Excellency the Duke! I, I will definitely work hard!"
Chi Yan smiled, and tears fell from her thick eyelashes.
Seeing Chi Yan regain his spirits, Gu Xi nodded with satisfaction: "I will go and prepare first, you can come down on time."
She tried to walk as gracefully as possible and reached the stairs.
No longer feeling Chi Yan's burning gaze, Gu Xi finally relaxed.
It was my first time to be a superior who encouraged subordinates, and I was not quite used to it, but fortunately the effect was very good.
only……
The images of his parents and brothers flashed before Gu Xi's eyes, and his eyes became hot again.
She will never see her family again.
What Gu Xi didn't know was that as soon as she left Chi Yan's door, Abis walked out of the room next to Chi Yan.
The snake beastman with black hair tied into a high ponytail stared coldly at Chi Yan.
The pressure from the high-level psychic made Chi Yan break out in a cold sweat.
After a long while, Abis chuckled and said, "You are quite ambitious."
He obtained the title of general after killing countless Zergs on the battlefield and commanding more than ten battles against the Zerg.
When he was in the military academy, Chi Yan's academic performance was low and only his performance in combat courses was excellent. This is an established fact.
How dare Gu Xi say that Chi Yan can reach his level in the future?
Where did Gu Xi put his talents and efforts?
What? Is he planning to provide spiritual counseling to Chi Yan and create a second 4S level in the empire to replace him?
Gu Xi felt that even if she forcibly removed the mark and caused his ability level to drop, Chi Yan would still be able to protect her, right?
A storm seemed to be brewing in Abyss's purple eyes, and the output of his pressure was even greater.
But it’s hard for Chi Yan.
His ability level had just been raised, and his spiritual sea had not yet reached the strength of the S-level. His knees slightly bent under the pressure of Abyss, and if his willpower was a little weaker, he would have knelt down.
Nowadays, there is no etiquette of kneeling in the interstellar space, unless one is praying to the Beast God.
If males fight each other and are forced to kneel down before the fight even starts, it is a terrible humiliation.
Chi Yan struggled to hold on.
He could salute Abyss, but he could not kneel.
Especially... he thought with his toes that Abis suddenly treated him like this because of Gu Xi.
Since it was because of Gu Xi, Chi Yan didn't want to kneel down to Abis even more.
He...didn't want to lose the will to fight Abyss, even if the possibility of him becoming Gu Xixiong's husband was slim.
But the gap in levels is too big.
Just as Chi Yan's knees were getting bent, footsteps were heard from the corridor. The footsteps were very light and could only be heard from female orcs.
Abis tilted his head to look at the stairs. He did not withdraw his pressure. Instead, he raised his chin and waited for Gu Xi to appear.
Sure enough, Gu Xi turned back.
Seeing Abis and Chiyan standing together, Chiyan was sweating and biting his lips, with blood on the corners of his lips. He frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
Abis sneered at Gu Xi: "My Lord Duke, don't you know what we are doing? Isn't this what you want to see?"
Gu Xi was confused after hearing these angry words: "What do I want to see? What do I want to see?"
Seeing Gu Xi's clear eyes, as if he really didn't understand why this happened, Abis said with a half-smile, "Could it be that the competition between Chi Yan and I made the Duke unhappy, so he pretended not to know?"
Male competition?
Gu Xi stared at Abis, and then she realized that her words of encouragement to Chi Yan must have been heard by Abis.
She said that Chi Yan could become a colonel or even an admiral if he worked hard, and Abis just happened to hold the title of admiral, so she felt that she was making Chi Yan compete with him.
"Abyss." Gu Xi was so angry that he laughed, "Did you lose your mind when you had a mental breakdown before? Chi Yan will become an admiral in the future, which does not conflict with the fact that you are also an admiral or have become a marshal."
"Does the Nor Empire only have one admiral like you? Then you are really arrogant and selfish. You are so old and still think that the world can't turn around without you."
Gu Xi's words made Abis' pupils shrink.
A long time ago, there was also a female who pointed at his nose and called him cold-blooded and selfish, and wanted to send him to the Imperial Prison.
Now the female who had marked him was pointing at his nose and scolding him for being arrogant and selfish.
Abis took back the pressure he had placed on Chi Yan, transferred the counseling fee he owed to Gu Xi, stared at Gu Xi with his erected snake pupils and said, "Your Excellency the Duke has taught me that I am not feeling well today, so I will not accompany you on the hunt."
"Have fun, Your Excellency the Duke."
After saying this, Abis left.
