"Excuse me, it's me." Mu Qingyun snapped out of her reverie, nodded politely, and smiled. She had been lost in thought and had left the other person standing there for quite a while.
"Then let's give it a try. If it really works, we'll be the light of the entire universe!" The earth-powered lieutenant raised his hand, smiling with anticipation. He was genuinely looking forward to making a name for himself.
However, upon hearing his words, both the doctor and Su Qiluo gave a cold laugh, their meaning unclear.
"Come here." She lowered her eyes and stepped forward, her left hand flashing with green light. Because she had rested well yesterday, the energy in her body was inexhaustible.
The doctor took out a pile of soil that he had recently brought back from the ground and placed it in front of them.
Mu Qingyun raised her hand, and her plant-based superpower was activated first, being injected into the soil. The earth-based superpower general also raised his hand, and both superpowers were injected into the soil together.
The earth-elemental lieutenant's abilities were higher than hers, but purifying a patch of soil was not difficult for him.
The soil emitted a shimmering green light, mixed with a yellow glow within.
Before long, the two simultaneously withdrew their energy.
The earth-elemental lieutenant's gaze towards her changed noticeably. "Impressive." He had initially thought that this Brother Mu was only impressive in terms of background and cunning, but he hadn't expected her abilities to be even more formidable than he had imagined.
Mu Qingyun nodded in acknowledgment of his praise, said nothing more, and returned to Su Qiluo's side, taking his hand in hers.
Su Qiluo understood that the light-based superpower was flashing, and energy was surging into her body, helping her to recover the energy she had lost more quickly.
No wonder people say that if you have someone with light abilities by your side, they are a treasure in the team. Light abilities are not only exceptional in their recovery capabilities, but also in their attack capabilities.
Not to mention Su Qiluo's powerful light-based abilities; having him by your side is like having an inexhaustible energy pool.
"Huh, you two, you're a couple!" The earth-powered lieutenant stared at the two holding hands, his mouth agape in shock, pointing at them in disbelief.
What happened? He doesn't know?
Mu Qingyun frowned. The temple bells and drums were so loud yesterday, and Su Qiluo's confession to her was also quite loud. There were so many onlookers around, yet the news that they were together hadn't spread.
Those bystanders are a bit too weak.
"Can't you tell?" Su Qiluo glanced at him lazily, then deliberately raised their hands and waved them. "Lieutenant, do you not go online much?"
Given the commotion yesterday, he didn't believe there wasn't a single word about it online.
The lieutenant, caught off guard by the sudden question, thought he had touched a nerve. His mouth opened and closed, and the usually uninhibited man was now unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.
"Speak properly." Su Qiluo frowned slightly, her tone already showing some impatience.
"Okay, okay, speak properly." The lieutenant's face flushed red, and he lowered his head, not daring to meet Su Qiluo's gaze. "I... I went online, but I didn't see what happened between the two of you online."
No?
Su Qiluo took out his phone from the storage bag with his other hand, opened several search apps, and specifically typed in his and Mu Qingyun's names. However, the search results only showed the relationship between a military academy general and a military academy trial contestant.
...I'm impressed.
"The soil has indeed been purified." The doctor's words came at the right time. The earth-elemental lieutenant breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied, "Well, I'll be going now. Call me if you need anything."
Without waiting for the doctor's response, he nodded to Su Qiluo and Mu Qingyun in front of him, and then ran out of the laboratory in a flash.
Why are you so scared?
Mu Qingyun watched the earth-elemental lieutenant run away, filled with confusion. She reached out and shook their clasped hands, asking, "Why is he so afraid of you?"
“Rank suppression.” Su Qiluo chuckled lightly: “There are not many generals in the military academy. I have many merits and a far-reaching reputation in the military academy. I am the only one who became popular online but is still respected.”
"After all this talk, it still comes down to your strength." Mu Qingyun curled her lips, looked up at him, and said, "Merit, fame, these are all things that rely on ability and are built upon ability."
"I'm blessed by God." Su Qiluo couldn't help but feel proud when he said this. He has three supernatural talents, excellent looks, and a good figure. He can be described as God's favorite.
Looking at him, Mu Qingyun suddenly thought that perhaps heaven was fair. Although he was given three superpowers, he not only couldn't use Hellfire, but also had to suppress it with all his might.
Although he was exceptionally handsome and had a great physique, his parents abandoned him when he was young. If the doctor hadn't found him and raised him, he might not be alive today.
"With great power comes great responsibility. I don't know what you're so proud of." Mu Qingyun lowered her eyes, hiding the heartache in them. "Whatever happens, aren't you always pushed to the front lines, and even expected to face death calmly?"
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it.” Su Qiluo gripped her hand a little tighter. “At least I have the ability and courage to face death calmly, instead of choosing to live a life of ignominy.”
“You can go and rest, you don’t need to wait here. I need a long time,” the doctor said after studying the soil for a while. He suddenly turned his head and realized that the two of them were still standing there.
"Tomorrow is the military academy's new student enrollment ceremony. Qi Luo, please tell Qing Yun about the important points."
...Qing Yun?
Mu Qingyun looked up at the professor who was still working on the soil with his head down, and couldn't help but smile. She looked up at Su Qiluo and found that he was also trying hard to suppress his laughter.
That old man changes his mind really fast. Last night he wanted to kick them all out, but now he's even calling Qing Yun.
As soon as the two left the laboratory and stepped outside, Su Qiluo said with a smile, "It seems that from now on, you'll be this old man's darling."
"Isn't that great? He's like your father, so I've already gained the approval of my father-in-law..." Mu Qingyun raised an eyebrow, in a good mood.
"Okay." Su Qiluo nodded, quite pleased with her suggestion. "There's nothing special to note about the entrance ceremony tomorrow. It's up to you: do you want to stun everyone in women's clothing, or stay in men's attire?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyun raised an eyebrow. "Then I must stun everyone. So, are you going to take me shopping for clothes?"
"Buy it, buy whatever you want." Su Qiluo said confidently. His girlfriend would definitely stun everyone tomorrow and let those snobs see what kind of nonsense they were spouting about an ugly man with skinny meat.
"Come with me to the palace first, we'll buy it after we come out." Taking Su Qiluo's arm, she led her towards the parking area.
...
Inside the palace, Mu Jingfeng stared at the subordinate who came to report and coldly said, "What is she making a fuss about? What is there for her to make a fuss about? Didn't you tell her that she has nothing to do with me?"
