Chapter 231 Bring me that kid Xilin.

Xilin thinks Peter is possessed now. Why? Perhaps it's because he's mentioned too many of Peter's tragic past experiences, so now he can't stop talking about them. (_)

As Peller was recounting his miserable experience of being beaten up by his father for the seventh time and then being thrown into the royal army and trained with the guards along with Ulagano of the Blizzard Wendiceka royal family, Peller's communicator rang.

After glancing at the unfamiliar code on the communicator, Peter frowned and pressed the connect button.

"Your Highness Skopje..." Tosen's face appeared on the screen.

"Beep—"

Upon seeing Tosen's face, Butler immediately disconnected and blocked the number.

"Where were we?" Peter asked Sirin.

Xilin made a "7" shape with his fingers.

"Oh, right, speaking of being caught for the seventh time..."

Just as Bill was about to continue, the communicator rang again. He looked at the code and saw that it was from Musso's communicator.

  

"What is it?" Peter asked impatiently.

As for the impact, Musso's smile was somewhat stiff. "Your Highness, Tosen just said..."

"Beep—"

Peter disconnected, took off the communicator from his wrist, looked around the room, and threw it into the oven with a thud.

Xilin: "..."

As for?

On the other side, Muso looked at the disconnected communicator with a wry smile, then turned to the other side, where the display screen showed Tosen's image.

"As you can see, that's just His Highness's temper. When he gets stubborn, he won't give anyone face. Besides, the two of us have never had any face in front of His Highness."

"Alright, I'll contact Prince Yuan Xingming directly and have him contact Prince Skopeller himself."

As for Tuosen, after disconnecting the communicator, he propped his legs up on the table, his fingers pressing against his chin.

Originally, he hadn't sought out Tuosen about Xilin's matter, but rather to help deliver a message. Before coming to Valenbato, Tuosen had encountered Yuan Xingming of the Yuan family of the Fudge royal clan on a planet. Yuan Xingming had asked Tuosen to pass on a message to Peter, instructing Peter to find him there. However, it now seemed that Peter didn't want to hear Tuosen's voice at all, treating him like a thief.

The more this was the case, the more curious Tuosen became. Although his exchange with Xilin lasted only two seconds, those two seconds were enough to prove Xilin's strength. (Linglong Library!) Besides that and the fact that Xilin had unknowingly removed the gun from its holster in a single exchange, what else did Xilin have that warranted such treatment from Peter?

Although Prince Pierre is an unreliable, somewhat eccentric, and often foolish prince, every member of the royal family is extraordinary. Sometimes Pierre seems confused, but at other times he's more shrewd than a fox. What could possibly motivate him to try and bring Xilin into the Firehawk Royal Family?

Looking at the information his subordinates had gathered about Xilin, he realized it was far too little; it revealed almost nothing. The presence of the Szel family behind it clearly obscured Xilin's past. What kind of abilities could someone possess to warrant the attention of both the powerful Szel family and the prince of the Firehawk royal family?

The joint military exercises are approaching, and everyone in every military region is busy recruiting top talent; otherwise, Tuosen wouldn't have come to Barumbato to try his luck. After all, every school has some exceptional individuals. These are students specifically trained for the military, with their curriculum geared towards military needs.

Barenbato was Tuosen's fifth stop. He hadn't found anyone satisfactory in the previous four stops. Originally, Tuosen hadn't expected to find anyone outstanding in the intermediate education school, but unexpectedly, he met someone like Xilin here.

Xilin didn't give Tuosen the impression of a student at all; he reminded Tuosen of the students from the First and Second Affiliated High Schools. However, Xilin possessed an aura that clearly distinguished him from those students. What was that?

Like an assassin, yet different from an assassin. Like someone from the top two wards, yet clearly distinct from them—it's all too difficult to understand.

It's no wonder Tosen couldn't understand. After all, in the Lansa Empire, hunters didn't make up a large proportion like in the Star Alliance. The Lansa Empire also had hunters, but their numbers were far inferior to those of the Star Alliance. The high nobility controlled absolute manpower and resources, and the royal army and the Imperial Joint Guard would never allow a large group like a hunter's guild, which could pose a destabilizing threat to the Empire, to emerge.

If a noble family wants to find a rare mineral deposit or explore an unknown star field, they will pay a high price to gather a group of people to do it, and the harvest will belong to the noble family.

Therefore, Shirin, as a hunter, is also misunderstood by others.

Unable to figure it out, Tuosen took the communicator and entered a series of characters, which looked like a combination lock.

A short while later, the communication connection was established. A stunning blonde woman with a hot body appeared on the screen.

"Hey, Little Tuosen, what brings you to contact me? You haven't called us since you were sent down to the countryside. We've missed you terribly!"

If anyone else had heard a hot girl say such things, they would definitely have all sorts of wild thoughts, but Tuosen shuddered and quickly laughed, "Teacher Ge Lifen, please don't think about me, I can't handle your antics." (Linglong Library!)

Although Tuo Sen previously attended the Third Affiliated School, he had received training at the First and Second Affiliated Schools during his time there. That training was very helpful for Tuo Sen in carrying out military missions. Among those who trained Tuo Sen was the blonde beauty, Ge Lifen.

Despite her hot figure and youthful appearance, Ge Lifen is actually about the same age as Tuosen's grandmother. She's also incredibly skilled in combat, and carries the rank of colonel on her back.

Tuosen couldn't help but shudder at the thought of the horrific training he endured back then.

"Ms. Ge Lifen, I need to talk to you about someone today."

Tuosen, who had previously acted dignified in front of Principal Barumbato and so many others, was now a well-behaved student in front of Griffin, even more so than in front of his father.

"Sigh, I knew you'd be like this, you heartless little thing. You never think of us when you're daydreaming, and you only remember we exist when something happens." Griffin twirled a strand of her hair with her fingers and sighed.

Tuosen chuckled awkwardly. He knew that Griffin wasn't angry; it was just their usual way of speaking.

"Tell me, who are you looking for? Make it clear first, don't come looking for people from us. I don't want to leave my people in that godforsaken place."

So, in your eyes, the 23rd Military Region is just a godforsaken place?!

"Well, it's like this, I wanted to ask if there's a person named Xilin in either the First or Second Affiliated Hospital? Oh, I have his video here."

Tuosen showed the video of Xilin to Ge Lifen.

The footage shows the moment Tuosen first walked towards Xilin, with Xilin sitting on the person he had trampled to the ground. Xilin looked up and stared directly at Tuosen, then his gaze shifted to the flying vehicle behind Tuosen—the one Tuosen had driven. A military flying vehicle. It had a surveillance camera on it, and Xilin was looking in the direction of that camera. The camera captured this entire sequence of images.

Griffin couldn't clearly see the look in Xilin's eyes as he looked at Tuosen, but the moment Xilin glanced at the monitor, that look... Griffin narrowed her eyes. The fingers that had been playing with her hair now gently caressed a canine tooth along her red lips.

Seeing Griffin like this, Tuo Sen felt a chill run down her spine. As someone with experience, she knew all too well what Griffin's habit meant. This meant their military region could forget about getting anyone over there.

"Um... Professor Griffin, since you're both busy, I won't bother you any longer..."

"Um?"

A soft, rising tone made Tuosen hesitate to disconnect the communicator. He waited patiently for Griffin's next words.

"Little Tuosen, tell me. What's this child's name again?" Griffin asked.

"Xilin," Tuosen obediently answered. In his mind, Tuosen had already cursed himself a thousand times. How could he have been so infected by that idiot Peter and couldn't see things clearly, actually going to find Teacher Ge Lifen! Oh no, oh no, he tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead!

"So his name is Xilin... Little Tuosen, when will you have the chance to bring that kid Xilin over to me?" Griffin said with a bright smile.

Tuosen wanted to cry. Get it over there? How am I supposed to do that?!

"This... Ms. Griffin, it seems a bit difficult." Tuosen's voice trailed off.

Tell me about it.

"Well, he has the shadow of not only the Szel family, but also the Firehawk royal family. I also want to bring Xilin to our 23rd Military Region, but that guy Skopeller treats me like a thief. I can't find an opportunity."

Hearing Tuosen's words, Ge Lifen chuckled. "Little Tuosen, since you were sent down to the 23rd Military Region, you've really been living a worse life than ever. Oh well! I'm in a good mood today, so I won't hold it against you. Don't even think about things in Xilin. I won't let any military region drag Xilin into this."

That sounds a bit arrogant. How could a mere school teacher and a colonel from a military academy have the confidence to say such a thing? The Empire has so many military regions, how many lieutenant generals and major generals are there? How could it be your place, a colonel, to speak?

However, this was precisely the ability of Griffin, something Tosen was well aware of, and many generals had risen through the ranks under Griffin's command.

"Yes, sir!"

"Good boy/girl."

After Griffin finally disconnected the communicator, Tosen breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had been away from school for several years, he still couldn't help but feel terrified when he saw this teacher.

It seems like... I'm about to do something bad! Tuosen stroked his chin. Forget it, I won't inform Biller and Xilin anyway; Biller won't let him finish speaking. Let them worry about it themselves. It seems that even if their 23rd Military Region can't get any people, other military regions won't be able to either.

After ending her call with Tuosen, Ge Lifen opened a display screen and scrolled through the records. She found a video recording, pulled it out, and compared it with the video of Xilin that Tuosen had shown her.

That look is so similar. Of course, one knows their own student well; they know his experiences, personality, and habits. But what kind of person is Xilin? It seems there are still many treasures hidden beneath their notice.

At that moment, Xilin was eating roasted frogs with Peter, Chang Xiaosan, and Chang Xiaosi, unaware that he had already been targeted by many people.

After dealing with Chang Xiaosan and Chang Xiaosi, Xilin planned to go back to Chang Laohan's place first, but after receiving a communication, Peller pulled Xilin to another planet in the 23rd star sector.

Before setting off, Xilin contacted Old Man Chang to check on the progress of the shop and Chang Xiaowu's recovery. However, he didn't use his own communicator, but rather the public communicator provided by the vice-director's office at the Barumbato School. In Peter's words, this way they wouldn't have to pay for communication. Compared to Xilin's own crappy communicator, the image was much clearer, so why not use the readily available resources?

The Lansa Empire has this advantage: all of its branch star systems are within the same large communication network, making communication much easier.

Xilin and Peter had been in Valenbato for less than a day, but the sensation they caused was enough to be recorded as one of the ten most influential events in Valenbato. Because on this day, some people in Valenbato witnessed His Highness the Prince of the Firehawk Royal Family, a student at the coveted Third Higher Education School affiliated with the Royal Academy of Sciences; witnessed Major Tosen, a member of a high-ranking noble family, fighting a young man to a standstill—although their fight was brief and no one clearly saw their movements; and witnessed the school principal and other leaders trembling in their presence…

Regardless, Chang Xiaosan and Chang Xiaosi are no longer looked down upon by the nobles. In the eyes of others, these two have the backing of a prince from the Firehawk Royal Family. The school leaders also regard them as promising talents with a bright future.

Nakut, who helped roast the frog, often boasted to others afterward that he and His Highness the Prince had once sat at the same table eating roasted frogs.

Xilin seemed to become a supporting character, a foil relegated to a position below Prince Firehawk and Major Tuosen. Only a small minority paid more attention to Xilin, and these few individuals went on to achieve great things, including Lu Jie and Taitu.

Xilin and Pierre traveled to the planet where Yuan Xingming was located in Pierre's four-person flying vehicle, while Muso and Ikechi stayed behind to smooth over the commotion caused by the departure of the two.

Sitting inside the aircraft, Xilin's fingers caressed the area around the scroll-patterned ring. Not long after arriving in the Lansa Empire, Xilin put on gloves, covering his palms and a section of his fingers. This was one of the reasons why Peller had not discovered the secret on Xilin's fingers.

Yuan Ye once said that when the ring resonates, it will be time to send Yuan Ye home, but when will the resonance occur? Will the resonance occur when encountering a direct descendant of the Yuan family?

Will Yuan Xingming, the current King Fuji's biological son, cause the ring to react? Xilin is eagerly anticipating it. (..)
