Shen Zhuofan took out a few of the fattest cats and then used the cat teasing stick to lead them to jump up and down. He looked at Qin Yun who was unable to help because his hand was injured and was in a daze, and couldn’t help but ask, “How is it going between you and His Majesty? Is the training still going smoothly?”
Qin Yun was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses. He scratched the back of his head and said, “Ah, not bad.”
Shen Zhuofan glanced at him suspiciously, “It’s not going well?”
“It’s not that…” Qin Yun said with some frustration, “Although I am not a high-level guide, I have always been very confident in my mental strength. I was never so tired when I went to the front line before.” He shook his injured hand, “Yet I still managed to turn myself like this.”
“…” Shen Zhuofan sighed, “I graduated as the representative1some sort the top of the class[/mrn] of guide in Averio eight years ago, you know that, right?”
Qin Yun nodded.
“At that time, His Majesty had just ascended the throne and was not yet able to govern…” Shen Zhuofan said with a smile on his face, “I worked for the royal family after graduation. At first, I just wanted to see if I could help guide His Majesty’s consciousness, learn etiquette, fencing, horsemanship, and diplomacy. But later, I found it to be impossible… I couldn’t even see His Majesty’s spiritual link. The guiding tendrils would be suppressed when they got close to him. If forcefully breached, it would only suffer a backlash from the god-level mental power, and collapse.”
“Although, you are just a loser in the academy.” Shen Zhuofan blinked narrowly, “But you are actually much more powerful than you think.”
Qin Yun: “…… If you’re going to compliment, do it thoroughly, why do you need to add the first sentence.”
Shen Zhuofan flicked his teasing stick. He looked at Qin Yun’s depressed face and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
When Qin Yun returned to the military headquarters, Sennas was poking his paramecium spiritual link with a branch. He saw him greeting lazily, “Hi, buddy, did you have fun with your little lover?”
Qin Yun stretched out his bandaged hand angrily, “Didn’t see that I’m injured, how can I play with my little lover.”
“You are really calling someone your little lover.” Sennas complained sourly, “You have a sentinel.”
“It’s useless to have a sentinel.” Qin Yun glanced at his paramecium and said depressedly, “Even if it’s a small one, you still have it… I don’t even have one… I can’t stimulate bonding heat, and I’m not even qualified to be fvcked. “
Sennas choked and said sympathetically, “…Your analogy kind of makes sense.”
Qin Yun: “…”
Moschery opened the low-level training room, and he saw Qin Yun holding a bow on his back.
“No need to bring it with you.” Moschery frowned, “Just stay with me.”
Qin Yun: “…Why did you choose the low-level training room? Brush up on your time-limit record?”
Moschery took a deep breath. He deeply felt that good intentions were being treated like a donkey’s liver and lungs1with ill intent, he was sulking coz Qin Yun thought he was just being mean. He almost had to grit his teeth to keep himself from losing his temper, “I saw that you were injured, so I just found a simple exercise. You don’t understand?”
“Then let me practice…what are you practising for?” Qin Yun asked inexplicably, “Practising how to beat children?”
Moschery: “…”
Of course, no children were beaten in the end. Moschery sent Heavy Flame to stomp on the waves of slime monsters released, and Qin Yun didn’t even need to use guiding tendrils. He just waved the glow stick, the dragon’s favourite, a few times on the side.
“What are we here for?” Qin Yun yawned boredly. When he saw Zhongyan turning around, he quickly waved the light stick in his hand.
Moschery lay next to him, eyes closed, just pretending to be asleep.
“Hey.” Qin Yun called him, “Didn’t you say you want to practice cooperation?”
“Isn’t this training?” Moschery turned over impatiently and faced Qin Yun, “You go practice with Zhongyan.”
“…” Qin Yun rolled his eyes and threw a light stick into Moschery’s hand, “Then what are you doing?”
Moschery supported his head and stared into Qin Yun’s eyes. He juggled the light stick in his hand, and stretched out one end to lift Qin Yun’s chin, “I’m just watching you.”
Qin Yun: “…”
Moschery didn’t seem to see the reaction he wanted and curled his lips in boredom. He took back the light stick as if nothing had happened, and patted Qin Yun’s leg, “Give me some cushion.”
“Oh…” Qin Yun stretched out his legs stiffly and used them as a pillow for the Emperor.
Moschery closed his eyes and hugged the other person’s waist naturally.
“…” Qin Yun felt as if the lower body no longer belonged to him.
Zhongyan continued to happily step on the slime monster not far away. It was like an old hen chasing her chicks, flapping its wings while running. Qin Yun looked down at Moschery, who was sleeping quietly on his lap and couldn’t bear it. He couldn’t help but stretch out his hand to trace the outline of the other person’s face.
“We will go to Eta Star in a few days.” Moschery closed his eyes and said suddenly, “If you changed your mind… I won’t force you.”
Qin Yun frowned, “Why would I change my mind? You don’t want me to accompany you?”
Moschery opened his eyelids and looked at him quietly, “This may be more dangerous than you think.”
“Then I have to go even more.” Qin Yun said righteously, “If I don’t go with you, who will guide you?”
“…” Moschery’s face darkened, “Who is protecting whom?”
Qin Yun waved his hand indifferently, “It’s the same…guide and sentinel should protect each other, just like Shen and Arthur…”
Moschery interrupted with a cold face, “I won’t let that happen to you.”
“I know.” Qin Yun smiled, “But I still envy them.”
Moschery gave him a strange look, “There’s nothing to envy in being so miserable.”
Qin Yun: “…” Are you really the owner of a girly-hearted dragon spiritual link?!
Moschery felt that Arthur’s love life was miserable, and he definitely meant it. Skarter’s comment on this was, “Your Majesty, you have no idea of the noble sentiment of sacrificing for the one you love deeply.”
Moschery had a look on his face that said, “What the hell? It is so stupid. Letting someone you love sacrifice for you is something only a loser would do.”
“…” Skarter felt dissatisfied, “But Your Majesty, you have to admit that it is very romantic!”
Moschery scoffed, “What’s the point of romance when you lose your wife.”
Skarter found that he couldn’t refute…
“Okay.” He decided to gossip about other things, “Are you sure you really want to bring that little sweetheart with you this time?”
“Do I bring you if I don’t bring him?” Moschery asked rhetorically, “It’s going to make Lin Dongliang cry.”
The general felt very helpless being the subject of the gossip, “Then you can let me and the Secretary of State go. After all, we are deeply uneasy about having you personally involved in danger.”
“Pull back.” Moschery said coldly, “Do you think I don’t know that you have booked a round-trip honeymoon trip for two to Cyprus?”
Skarter: “…”
Moschery waved his hand, “Naturally, there’s a good reason why you’re not allowed to go.”
Skarter: “Actually, Tristana can also…”
Moschery: “Do you know whose ride I hitched for this trip to Eta Star?”
Skarter thought for a while and asked cautiously, “…It can’t be Chen Xiao’s, right?”
“Exactly his.” Moschery crossed his arms with a look of disgust on his face, “Do you think I can endure the non-stop bickering and banter that’s almost like flirting between the two of them all day long?”
Skarter: “…”
