Zheng Yiran and Ju Yiqiu were shocked when Meng Huai actually sat up. They had only told Meng Huai about the matter on a trial basis.
Zheng and Ju exchanged a look, unable to do anything about Meng Huai's greedy nature.
Meng Huai, still thinking about her three hundred million star coins, opened the betting link as soon as she woke up. She saw that it was indeed confirming identity information, and it was marked that the amount could not be transferred to her card without confirming the information.
"But it's not the last day, is it? There are still two days left!"
However, Meng Huai still filled in the information and submitted it. Seeing that it said the amount would be deposited into her card after identity confirmation, she finally felt at ease.
When Zheng Yiran and Ju Yiqiu heard this question, they didn't give Meng Huai any face at all. They wished they could pinch Meng Huai's ears and lecture her! However, considering that Meng Huai had just woken up and had been in a coma for several days, they decided to let her off the hook.
But they still had to lecture her: "Do you know how worried we were about you!"
"Exactly, exactly. For the past two days, we've been calling out to you to wake up, and we never expected that our feelings would be inferior to three hundred million star coins! It's truly heartbreaking." Ju Yiqiu said, pretending to wipe away tears.
Meng Huai quickly expressed her loyalty to her two good sisters upon hearing this.
"Oh, I was just recovering from my injuries. I was recuperating, and couldn't wake up! It wasn't because of three hundred million star coins that I woke up, but because I heard the voices of my two good sisters!"
Who couldn't pretend to be pitiful?
Seeing Meng Huai's demeanor, Ju Yiqiu couldn't say anything harsh. Zheng Yiran looked at Ju Yiqiu's expression, truly disappointed in her.
Zheng Yiran thought: You should have held out a little longer!
However, Zheng Yiran also quickly asked, "How is your body?"
After being struck by lightning for so many days, anyone else would have been dead long ago. It was unexpected that Meng Huai only fainted for a few days; she didn't know whether to be glad or not.
Ju Yiqiu also looked at Meng Huai's condition, waiting for her answer.
Meng Huai felt the spiritual energy within her body and said to them with a smile, "My strength has increased quite a bit!"
Hearing Meng Huai's words, the two were completely confused. Ju Yiqiu curiously asked, "How did your strength increase?"
She really couldn't figure this out.
Meng Huai told them, "The cultivation technique I practice is like this. After reaching a certain realm, I need to be struck by lightning. If I can't endure it, my strength will greatly increase, and if I can't pass, that's the end..."
...
The two found Meng Huai's simple explanation of the lightning tribulation difficult to understand. They didn't know why she had to go through such things, thinking it sounded terrifying.
However, Zheng Yiran also said, "The temptation of absolute power makes it understandable."
Ju Yiqiu didn't understand these things because her own strength was not high, so she was accustomed to going with the flow. Compared to the two, she still felt that life was more important.
The three chatted in Meng Huai's room for a long time, completely forgetting about the people anxiously waiting outside for the results. Finally, Hui Xingxiu gently knocked on Meng Huai's door: "How is it? Any reaction?"
Hearing Hui Xingxiu's voice, they remembered they hadn't reported their safety yet!
Zheng Yiran also said to Meng Huai, "They are all waiting for your news outside! They are all very worried about you."
Meng Huai and the other two came out of the room: "Sorry, you all were worried."
After another round of greetings, everyone gathered around Meng Huai to inquire about her health. They were all relieved when Meng Huai said her body had no problems.
The medicinal cuisine restaurant had not yet opened, so these people sat in the lobby. There were too many people, so they pushed several tables together to form a circle. This made it easier to talk, as everyone wanted to participate in the conversation at this moment.
Teacher Wang first told Meng Huai: "After this turmoil ends, all the star systems have returned to peace. The organizers of the Military School League have contacted us, saying they want to hold a make-up award ceremony. After all, no military school participated in the award ceremony that day, so it's not right."
The five participants in the Military School League nodded in agreement. Zheng Yiran asked, "When will it be held?"
"It hasn't been finalized yet. I'll notify you when it is. Just know that it's happening."
After this topic, Teacher Wang wanted to ask something else, but he hesitated whether to say it, but finally decided to speak. He cautiously asked Meng Huai, "Do you have any relationship with Marshal Meng?"
Meng Huai raised an eyebrow upon hearing this question. What was this? Why was he suddenly asking this? Meng Huai pondered the question with confusion.
However, Meng Huai stated with certainty, "No relationship."
Teacher Wang looked at Meng Huai's expression but couldn't detect anything amiss. He couldn't figure anything out from Meng Huai's expression. He didn't know if Meng Huai actually knew about her relationship with Marshal Meng, or if she was just pretending not to know.
The reason Teacher Wang brought this up was that the actions of the Meng family behind Marshal Meng in recent days were somewhat disgraceful.
So he decided to tell Meng Huai about it: "It's like this, the Meng family is now saying that you are Marshal Meng's daughter."
Upon hearing Teacher Wang mention this, everyone present fell silent. Even Jing Yuancheng and the others showed expressions of disgust upon hearing Teacher Wang mention this. It seemed that their recent actions had also earned them hatred.
When Teacher Wang mentioned this, he was still observing Meng Huai's expression. Seeing that she showed no surprise, he thought: So Meng Huai knew?
Teacher Wang continued, "A few days ago, your battle with the demon king was live-streamed by the citizens of Lan Hai Star. And before that, you had been traveling all over the place, resolving various incidents. You also helped many garbage stars overcome difficulties, and these things were also dug up by citizens and netizens. Everyone is very grateful to you!"
"But during the time you were in a coma, the Meng family suddenly claimed you were their daughter. And behind the scenes, they made many covert moves, guiding everyone to attribute the credit to the Meng family."
