Chapter 41 I am dying.

Once these noble children go to Wangxing, it's like having one foot under the nose of the royal power. If any family makes any moves in the future, the younger generation will be in Wangxing. If any family wants to take sides, they'd better think about how their most outstanding children are still being treated like servants in someone else's hands.

As expected of Old Wang.

His words were like a soft knife.

If Su Mobai could think of it, then Veslan could naturally think of it too.

Vislan held his wine cup, his expression unchanged. Only after Hua Que finished speaking did he slowly nod, "Your Majesty's actions are indeed for the sake of the younger generation's future."

As soon as he said this, the noble representatives from Merlo Star echoed his sentiments.

Hua Que looked at Vislan, a smile in his eyes.

The two old friends exchanged a glance.

Liang Bing sat down next to her, her smile fading slightly.

She doesn't usually like these roundabout ways, but that doesn't mean she doesn't understand them. With the name Wangxing Academy now in effect, many families will have to send their young people there.

Does that include her and Keisha?

She instinctively looked at Vislan.

Vislan didn't look at her.

Keisha didn't speak immediately, but instead looked down at the tea in her cup.

Su Mobai sat between the two, feeling that the meal was becoming more and more like a meeting.

Or the kind where you might be called out by name after the meeting.

really.

Hua Que's gaze quickly turned to them.

"Su Mobai".

Su Mobai's heart skipped a beat. He immediately put down his wine cup, stood up, and bowed, "Your Majesty."

Hua Que looked at him and said, "You can come too."

All eyes in the hall once again focused on Su Mobai.

The king personally extended the invitation.

An artist from out of town with an unknown background.

Entered King Star Academy.

The significance of this goes without saying.

Hua Ye's eyes immediately turned cold.

Su Mobai could sense it.

That gaze was like a needle piercing my side.

He knew very well that this was not the time to refuse.

Refusing Hua Que is to publicly disrespect the king.

To agree to Hua Que's request is to willingly walk into Wang Xing's trap.

Is there even a need to choose? He's the man who's going to wreak havoc in the world of Super Gods!

"It is my honor to be valued by the King."

Hua Que asked, "Are you willing to come?"

Su Mobai raised his eyes and smiled. "If Keisha and Liang Bing both go, then I'm naturally willing."

The hall fell silent once more.

Liang Bing never expected Su Mobai to be so cheeky at a time like this!

Also no one.

Keisha glanced at him sideways.

Hua Ye's face turned even greener.

That's such a cleverly chosen statement.

He agreed to Hua Que's request.

He then tied himself to Keisha and Liang Bing.

He didn't say he wanted to go to the King's Star, nor did he say he wanted to curry favor with the King; he only said that if they went, he would go too.

It sounds like the feelings of young people.

But to these old foxes, it wasn't that simple.

Hua Que looked at him for a moment and then chuckled.

"Young man, you're certainly straightforward."

Su Mobai lowered his head. "I don't have many good points, but being straightforward is one of them."

Liang Bing covered the corner of her lips with a cup.

Keisha calmly replied, "If Your Majesty establishes an academy, Keisha is willing to go."

"I will be able to meet the talents of Wangxing and learn about things from outside Mero."

Hua Que nodded, "Okay."

Vislan slowly took a sip of his drink.

From the main table outwards, the minds of all the nobles in the hall were already stirring.

Keisha looked ahead and wrote on Su Mobai's thigh with her hand, "Wang Xing is not comparable to Meiluo Xing."

Su Mobai hummed in agreement.

Of course he knew.

On Mero Star, there's also Vislan, Keisha, and Liang Bing protecting him.

When they arrived at Wangxing, Hua Ye was already there.

Hua Que was there too.

The ground is full of traps.

But he wasn't afraid. To be honest, he was strong enough to stand up and slap Hua Que, or even kill him.

But it is not necessary.

Because once he actually did it, he couldn't escape.

After the banquet.

The lights in the floating banquet hall had not yet gone out, and the sea of ​​clouds outside was pushed away by the night wind. Guests left one after another, and the music gradually faded from the heights, leaving only the sound of armor and boots stepping across the corridor.

Hua Que did not return to the main ship immediately.

Vislan did not escort him to his guest room.

The two walked one after the other through the side corridor behind the main hall and entered a secret room that was not open to the public.

The door closed.

Fine energy patterns lit up the surrounding walls, like a net, completely isolating all external sounds.

Hua Que sat down at the stone table, slowly unbuttoning the outer button of his royal robe. Vislan walked to the opposite side, poured him a cup of wine, and then poured one for himself.

Neither of them rushed to speak.

The wine in the glass was a deep color, reflecting the cold white light on the wall.

Hua Que looked at the glass of wine and smiled, "It's been hundreds of years since I've sat here like this."

Vislan picked up his glass. "Almost."

"You weren't this old back then."

"The same goes for Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this form of address, Hua Que shook his head. "There are no outsiders here, don't try to intimidate me with those formalities."

Vislan didn't take it, but simply put the glass down gently.

Hua Que took a sip of wine, his Adam's apple bobbing slowly. After swallowing, he closed his eyes for a moment, as if sensing the sensation. When he opened his eyes again, his weariness was still evident.

"I'm dying."

The room fell silent for a moment.

Vislan looked at him.

Hua Que's smile remained unchanged. "You're about the same."

"We can still hold on."

"The word 'hold on' already sounds unpleasant." Hua Que put his wine glass back on the table. "What we achieved back then relied on our blood and the swords in our hands. Later, with genetic technology, divine bodies, and starships, we thought we could go very far."

He looked at the energy patterns on the wall, "But these past few years, I haven't been able to move."

Vislan did not refute.

Hua Que tapped his knuckles lightly on the table. "When technology stagnates, lifespan also comes to a halt. No matter how good the armor, it cannot repair broken genes."

He spoke very calmly.

There was no lamentation, nor any resentment.

As the king who founded a race, he had no regrets in his life.

Vislan picked up his glass and took a sip.

Hua Que then looked at him and asked, "Where did you get that Su Mobai?"

Vislan paused for a moment.

Hua Que laughed, "Don't say he's just an artist. With my computing power, I can't see through him."

He looked up, a faint light flashing in his eyes before disappearing quickly. "There's no entrance to the mental layer, no response from the dark information layer, and the genetic sequence seems to be covered by something. It's not a countermeasure, nor a disguise. It's more like he shouldn't have been read in the first place."

Vislan put down his glass. "I don't know either."

Hua Que looked at him.

Vislan remained unmoved. "He was already in the manor when I returned."

"And you even seduced both of your daughters?"

Veslan's brow twitched slightly.

Hua Que laughed out loud.

The laughter wasn't loud, but it was much more genuine than the polite words exchanged at the banquet.

Vislan said calmly, "Keisha is interested in him, and Liang Bing is protecting him. This person's origins are unknown, his abilities are unknown, and he has already sided with them. After testing him, I have no way to deal with him for the time being."

"so?

39

"So we can only keep it under our noses."

"Keeping him right under your nose, and then letting him be with your two daughters as well?"

Hua Que held his wine glass, swirling it slowly. "Vislan, how many years have we been brothers?"

Vislan did not answer.

Hua Que looked at the gleaming wine in his glass and said, "Do you still need to lie to me?"

The secret room fell silent again.

The energy patterns on the wall flowed silently, pressing the shadows of the two people against the edge of the stone table.

Hua Que's smile faded. "You also think serving a ruler is like walking on thin ice?"

After those words were spoken, Vislan finally looked up.

The two looked at each other.

One is a king.

One is a lord.

They are all old friends who fought their way up from their youth.

Vislan offered no explanation.
