Is there a conspiracy in Chapter 621?
"Uncle Shi".

Jiang Ci pulled Bai Mianmian toward Marshal Shi, saying, "Sorry we're late."

Marshal Shi maintained his serious expression when he saw Jiang Ci, but he couldn't keep it up when he saw Bai Mianmian next to Jiang Ci.

His smile instantly spread across his face, and he said, "It's not too late. Your dinner time has only just begun. You've come back at the perfect time. Please take a seat."

Although he was quite annoyed that he had waited for them all day, he couldn't get angry and scare Bai Mianmian.

A purification ability user who is more capable than Sun Yuxin and who selflessly taught other purification ability users to achieve zero pollution value purification, he absolutely cannot leave a bad impression!
"?!" Shi Sijin blinked uncertainly, and for a moment he thought he was seeing things.

However, reality is cruel. He really wasn't seeing things. His father was indeed questioning him seriously one second, and then smiling broadly at someone else the next.

Over there, Jiang Ci pulled out the chair that was one seat away from Marshal Shi, and only after Bai Mianmian sat down did he sit down in the seat next to Marshal Shi.

But even though I've sat down, why are the gazes from those around me so piercing?
Jiang Ci, sitting upright, was speechless.

After less than two seconds of silence, Marshal Shi saw that he still wouldn't move aside and was still standing there blocking his view, so he reached out and pushed his body back a little.

Jiang Ci, forced to lean back: "...?"

Am I... getting in someone's way?
Marshal Shi didn't care what Jiang Ci was feeling. His gentle gaze fell on Bai Mianmian, and he smiled, "You must be Mianmian. We met this morning, remember?"

Jiang Ci realized he was indeed in someone else's way. He sighed and sat back down.

However, Marshal Shi did not put his hand down on Bai Mianmian's shoulder. He was still focused on speaking to her, "The situation was chaotic at the time, and we didn't have time to get to know each other. I am Shi Sijin's father. You can call me Uncle Shi, just like Jiang Ci does."

The conversation ended there. Marshal Shi looked at Bai Mianmian with a smile, as if waiting for her to call him.

Bai Mianmian did not call out for help immediately. Her gaze first fell on Marshal Shi's hand on Jiang Ci's shoulder, and then she looked at Jiang Ci beside her.

Jiang Ci immediately noticed her questioning gaze and nodded slightly to her.

At this moment, Bai Mianmian called out to Marshal Shi without any hesitation, "Uncle Shi."

Seeing the interaction between the two, Marshal Shi's smile deepened, and he responded with a satisfied "Yes~"

Listen to that soft voice; it's a hundred or a thousand times more pleasant than Jiang Ci's cold, harsh voice.

"Here, Mianmian, this is a gift for you." Marshal Shi then withdrew his hand from Jiang Ci's shoulder, took out a square box from his spatial storage, and handed it over.

Jiang Ci watched as the box was passed over him and delivered to Bai Mianmian: "..."

Marshal Shi completely ignored Jiang Ci and continued speaking to Bai Mianmian: "This is also compensation for you. I want to apologize to you for what happened this morning."

"!" Bai Mianmian suddenly looked up at Marshal Shi, her astonishment undisguised.

But her first reaction wasn't one of being flattered, but rather that he had a scheme against her.

However, her vigilance was so subtle that Marshal Shi couldn't detect it for a moment.

"Don't worry, I've punished those people. They'll come to apologize to you in person tomorrow," Marshal Shi said with a smile.

"No need," Bai Mianmian shook her head and refused. "There's no need to apologize in person."

She had no desire to put on an act of saying sorry and forgiving them. Marshal Shi, however, was taken aback by Bai Mianmian's decisive refusal and paused for a moment.

“Mianmian said it’s not necessary, and that apologizing in person would be enough.” Jiang Ci, who had been quiet all along, looked at Marshal Shi and said.

Marshal Shi snapped out of his daze, glanced at him, and then smiled at Bai Mianmian, saying, "Alright, Mianmian doesn't want to see them anymore, so let's not let them go. Here, take this box."

Seeing that Bai Mianmian didn't intend to take the box, Jiang Ci reached out and took the box from Marshal Shi's hand, then placed it in front of her and said softly, "Take it, it's alright."

"Mm." Bai Mianmian nodded in response, paused briefly, and then said to Marshal Shi, "Thank you, Uncle Shi."

After seeing Bai Mianmian put the box into her spatial storage, Marshal Shi smiled and changed the subject, asking if they had fun in the forest that day, what they saw, and what they gained.
Bai Mianmian smiled politely throughout, nodding when appropriate and responding when necessary.

Although Marshal Shi was warm towards her, he did so in a way that didn't offend her, so she was happy to treat him with a friendly attitude.

The atmosphere here was harmonious and joyful, but over there, Shi Sijin saw her father's extremely kind and amiable face and suddenly clutched her chest with a pained expression. Then, she pretended to be weak and leaned against Gu Yue, who had just come to her side.

It's heartbreaking, so heartbreaking. This is his own father, and he's never been treated like this before.

However, before Shi Sijin could fall onto Gu Yue, Marshal Shi's sharp gaze fell on him first.

"!" Shi Sijin's body stiffened instantly, and she straightened up abruptly, her body already leaning to the side. She stared at Marshal Shi with a serious expression and without looking away.

Seeing Shi Sijin's expression as if he hadn't done anything, Marshal Shi couldn't help but show a look of disdain. How old is she? Still acting silly!

"Aren't you coming over to prepare dinner?" Marshal Shi said in what he considered to be his gentlest voice.

The robots have already started distributing dinner to them, but that brat Shi Sijin is still standing there without sitting down. Does he want him to wait for him to start serving dinner?!
"?!!" Shi Sijin, who was originally nervously waiting to be scolded, was startled by his words and subconsciously took a half step back.

Could there be some kind of conspiracy?!
"Hmm?" Noticing Shi Sijin's little movement, Marshal Shi's eyes narrowed dangerously.

Shi Sijin immediately snapped to attention, her retreating foot stepping forward as she shouted urgently, "They're here!"

With a swift step, Shi Sijin appeared beside Marshal Shi, almost falling on him because she couldn't stop in time.

Marshal Shi gave a cold glare, →_→

"!" Shi Sijin's eyes widened, and she forcefully stopped herself from falling. Then she plopped down in the chair next to Marshal Shi.

"Ahem, dinner's ready, dinner's ready!" Shi Sijin grabbed her chopsticks, her eyes fixed on the table, not daring to glance at Marshal Shi out of the corner of her eye.

However, even though he called out "Dinner's ready," he hesitated to pick up his chopsticks when the robot brought him the meal.

Marshal Shi gave him a deep look before slowly withdrawing his gaze.

When she realized that the gaze that had been on her had moved away, Shi Sijin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Phew~ I thought I was going to get a lecture again!
Bai Mianmian glanced at Shi Sijin and felt that he was a bit more...lively than usual tonight.

Is it because Marshal Shi is here?
