When Qin Yun woke up in the morning, he found Moschery’s letters crumpled in his embrace. After staring blankly for a while, he carefully smoothed out the paper and placed it beneath his pillow.
There was an eerie silence in the cabin. Qin Yun opened the sunshade and realised that it was not completely bright yet.
The communication device at hand rang, and Tristana’s serious face appeared on the holographic image, “Stay in the room, and don’t come out. Don’t make any noise, and I’ll come down to pick you up.” As soon as she finished speaking, she didn’t wait for the other party to reply. The female general immediately closed the call.
Qin Yun frowned. After waiting for a while, he heard Tristana knocking on the door outside.
“Have you put on the bulletproof vest?” The whites of Tristana’s eyes have turned light red, “Let’s go to the c0ckpit.”
“What’s wrong?” Qin Yun followed her, “Did someone from the Cabinet attack us?”
Tristana opened the aisle door cautiously and leaned over to take a look, “There was a spaceship following us when we left the port. I thought they wouldn’t take action so quickly… but it turned out they were less calm than I expected.”
The female general motioned for the other party to lower his body. The two of them had only taken a few steps forward when Tristana’s expression turned ugly, “High-level guide… Damn it! They released the mental web!” She pushed Qin Yun, and the whites of her eyes almost turned bloody red, “I’ll hold them off. Hurry to the c0ckpit.”
Qin Yun didn’t even hesitate for a second; he turned around and ran away. In the end, when he just walked through the corridor, he bumped into a guide. The whites of the eyes were emerald green, and the pupils were staring at him for a moment.
Qin Yun: “…”
The guide’s expression was a little surprised, “Eh…it’s useless?”
Qin Yun said nothing and knocked the opponent unconscious with a knife.
When Tristana rushed over, Qin Yun had already knocked out 5 or 6 guides in a row. He looked very relaxed and did not seem to be under attack.
“…They didn’t hypnotise you?” Tristana didn’t believe it, “What on earth did you do?”
Qin Yun scratched the back of his head. His expression was honest, and his tone was very innocent, “I don’t know…it seems like their mental power is of no use to me?”
“…” Tristana: “How is it possible… you are no longer a guide.”
Qin Yun shrugged. He actually didn’t know how to explain it, so he just kept silent.
When the two rushed to the c0ckpit, Chen Xiao was confronting a sentinel. Qin Yun only heard Tristana yelling, “Scum!”
A slap mark instantly appeared on Chen Xiao’s face…
Qin Yun: “…”
Chen Xiao was so angry that he almost vomited blood, “Can you be gentler when you are doing mental assistance?! You slap me with the guiding tendrils every time! It hurts so much!!”
“You have the nerve to ask for my help in beating up a stupid bear!” Tristana counterattacked nonchalantly, “You’re impotent, aren’t you?!”
Chen Xiao gritted his teeth, “I’ll let you taste whether I’m impotent or not… I’ll fvck you to death, you little bitch!”
Tristana let out a ‘ha’ sound, “You’re all talk! If you are a man, come here!”
Qin Yun: “…”
Chen Xiao’s scimitar was like a silver-white moon hook. He jumped behind the opponent, grabbed the handle of the knife and slashed the sentinel’s throat.
Tristana curled her lips in disgust, “Finally, it’s settled…”
Chen Xiao ignored her with a sullen expression and looked at Qin Yun, “How many guides have you guys finished?”
Qin Yun calculated, “The general finished one, and I knocked out six…”
“Knocked out?” Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows, “You’re quite formidable, aren’t you?” He wiped the blood on his scimitar casually on his pants, “The remaining guides probably have sentinels accompanying them, which could be more troublesome.”
Tristana sneered, “Just take them down; no need for so much nonsense.”
“Um…” Qin Yun raised his hand weakly, “Can you give me a weapon?”
“This is a high-energy cannon.” Tristana struggled to lift an oversized barrel, “The recoil is too strong for guides to use normally, but it’s quite effective. A headshot from this, and even sentinels can’t handle it.”
Qin Yun took it easily and put it on his shoulder. He glanced at the alignment lens, “Not bad, it should be fine.”
“…” Tristana, “I didn’t expect that you are quite strong…”
Qin Yun smiled, “When I went to the front line, I had to carry a 20 kilogram medical bag… bbut it’s a struggle to get up to 40kg, and I can’t stand it too much with the Dragon Scale.”
“Dragon Ccales can’t even be lifted by an ordinary sentinel.” Tristana rolled her eyes, “Do you think everyone is as sick as His Majesty?”
Qin Yun smiled and said nothing. Perhaps in the eyes of others, Moschery was powerful and invincible, crushing everything in his path, but in Qin Yun’s heart, it wasn’t so.
His Majesty, the Emperor, was childish yet strangely romantic. He might have a bad temper but was very good at taking care of others, stubborn with words, adorable in a quirky way, yet headache-inducing when being stubborn.
“Even without the guide ability, I don’t consider myself useless,” Qin Yun said calmly, his gaze steady and determined. “I want to stand by his side openly and honourably.”
In the palace, Lin Dongliang was staring nervously at the transmission system. He was slowly reading the holographic images and pictures sent by Chen Xiao. Skarter stared at the screen and squinted slightly, “Pull back the picture just now.”
Lin Dongliang glanced at him and dragged it back obediently.
“It’s Paulie.” Skarter confirmed, looking at Moschery standing by the window, “This year’s Averio Academy representative, the one who wanted to give you mental guidance but almost had a nervous breakdown herself.”
Moschery had a cold expression as if he didn’t remember who she was.
Skarter didn’t expect him to remember. He asked Lin Dongliang to download all the parts with Paulie and handed them to him, “Are you going to the Cabinet now?”
“No, we are not going to the Cabinet.” His Majesty the Emperor arranged his gloves. He motioned to Ba Jin to hang up his cloak and said calmly, “Since the Cabinet has the right to break into the Secretary of State’s residence, then it is not a big deal for me to go to the Prime Minister’s house.”
Mrs. Berlin was drinking morning tea in the courtyard. She had already put on formal clothes, and her hair was meticulously done, so when her butler ran over in a panic, the Iron Lady was not in a very happy mood.
“What are you doing so rashly?” Berlin frowned and put down the teacup gently, “Don’t you understand the rules?”
The butler was so anxious that he couldn’t speak. He shook his hands and pointed backwards desperately.
Only then did Berlin realise that something was wrong. She quickly turned around and saw the Imperial Royal Guards landing in a row on the lawn in her yard.
Berlin: “…”
The leading aircraft covered with rhinestones slowly opened the hatch, and Moschery looked down at the Prime Minister of the Cabinet.
“Good morning, Madam.” The young emperor took off his military cap, and the mask on half of his face covered the cold and hard lines of his face, “I hope you will be in a happy mood like me today.”
Berlin: “……”
Mrs. Berlin looked calmly at Paulie’s clear face in the holographic image. Moschery drank tea leisurely. Only Lin Dongliang’s expression was solemn, “According to the Imperial Act, anyone who endangers the safety of His Majesty and the Queen will be punished with serious consequences for treason.”
Berlin sneered, “Even if Paulie is the representative of Averio Academy, she cannot represent the Cabinet. Moreover,” She glanced at Moschery: “Guide Qin is not a Queen yet.”
“I remember.” Moschery tapped the teacup lightly, “Madam, you were also present when I proposed.”
Berlin: “But the Cabinet has not acknowledged it until now. Your Majesty, marriage is not a child’s play. Aren’t you being too willful?”
Moschery sneered, “Then who do you think has the right to decide my marriage?”
Berlin opened her mouth. She wanted to say something, but she was unable to get a word out after seeing the Emperor’s cold eyes.
“The Cabinet has always advocated hierarchical rule, so I will follow your rules.” Moschery stood up. He was tall, and the scarlet cloak behind his back was heavy and gave pressure, “I believe you must have heard a lot about it in history. The Emperor’s foolish deeds in order to favour his concubine.”
Berlin’s face turned pale. She straightened her back and said sternly, “Your Majesty, please pay attention to your status!”
“My status?” Moschery smiled contemptuously, “My status is the Emperor, a god-level sentinel. I have absolute dominance over you, including this Empire.” He looked at Lin Dongliang and calmly ordered, “From now on, all military activities of the Cabinet will be cancelled, Prime Minister Berlin will be grounded, and we will find out who ordered the academy to attack the Queen’s spaceship.”
Berlin could barely stand, and she stared at the young emperor in horror.
Moschery: “I will let the Cabinet see what hierarchical dictatorship is.” He took back his military hat again, and the shadow cast by the brim of the hat covered his cold mask, “If my Queen loses even a hair, I will make the entire Cabinet cease to exist forever.”
“Of course, the Cabinet can also try to challenge my authority. As for the consequences.” Moschery said coldly, “It is not something you can afford.”
Tristana extended the guiding tendrils as far as possible, but she still couldn’t reach Qin Yun, who was hiding in the dark. She couldn’t help but be distracted from time to time.
“Believe in your comrades on the battlefield.” Chen Xiao inserted the machete back into his back. He kicked the corpse on the ground and looked at Tristana’s tired expression, “Do you still have enough mental strength?”
Tristana said harshly, “Go to those who want to kill you.”
Chen Xiao curled his lips and suddenly reached out and grabbed Tristana’s chin, lowered his head and blocked her mouth.
The sentinel’s abundant pheromones nourished the guide’s overdrafted mental energy. Tristana didn’t even have the strength to struggle. She wanted to tear the other person to pieces while she couldn’t control herself and sucked in more.
The two of them were kissing, and they were inseparable from each other. Suddenly, a loud ‘bang’ exploded behind Chen Xiao.
Tristana was startled, and Qin Yun’s joking voice came from her communication device, “I’ll help you take care of the troublesome individuals… Do you want to continue, General?”
Chen Xiao cursed. He looked down at the sentinel on the ground with half of its head blown off and was speechless for a long time. However, the next second, another sentinel two meters away from him was once again blown to cinders before he could get close enough.
“…” Tristana, “Was he really a guide?!”
Chen Xiao was also a little speechless. He had never seen Qin Yun’s archery skills, and his accuracy was indeed good. But then, after all, this man had been well protected by Moschery before and did not have much room to show off.
“How many have you killed?” Chen Xiao silently counted his head count with uncertainty. For the first time, he felt unsure…
“15…16? It seems to be a few more than you.” Qin Yun said nonchalantly, “By the way, I also arrested a guide. She said her name was Paulie. Do you know her?”
Tristana: “…How is her mental state now?”
Qin Yun said awkwardly, “Not very good. She’s been crying… Can you stop her from crying?”
“Haha.” Tristana mocked, “The representative of Averio Academy this year was caught by a person who used to be a low-level guide. If it were me, I would cry too.”
Qin Yun: “…”
