Lin Hao’s gaze swept around, but he still couldn’t find that gaze.
He thought to himself, had he been too tired from traveling these past few days, or had he been the Bug King for too long?
Was he developing a persecution complex?
That shouldn’t be the case.
He felt quite normal now.
At this moment, after his thoughts, Xie Wen reluctantly let go of Lin Hao’s hand, turned sideways, and smiled at Lin Hao, saying, “Please follow me.” After saying this, he led the way.
The Bug King’s hand was so soft, like cotton candy.
Thinking this, Xie Wen immediately interrupted his dangerous thoughts and forced himself to stop thinking about it.
This was the King of the Bug race, a treasure of the Bug race, and moreover, he was followed by the three great commanders of the Bug race.
If they knew his current thoughts, wouldn’t they just end him?
Therefore, this idea absolutely could not be known to them. Nor could they feel any discomfort or danger, otherwise, any one of the commanders could easily deal with them.
They couldn’t afford such a price.
Xie Wen thought to himself as he walked ahead.
Lin Hao, hearing the words of the person in front of him, silently followed behind him.
This new president of the Federation was better than the previous one. The old man didn’t care about anything, he just ate until he wasn’t hungry.
It was truly not easy for the Federation to survive with such a president. Fortunately, a new president was elected, otherwise, the Federation would have been ruined sooner or later.
Lin Hao looked at the back of the person in front of him and suddenly thought of some past events.
Alas, time flies so fast.
The three bugs following behind Lin Hao, however, looked gloomily at the human leading the way.
This weak human had held the cub’s hand for one minute and thirty seconds and fifty milliseconds. They hadn’t even held it for that long, which was truly unforgivable.
Seeing this, Xier silently extended her hand.
Then she looked down at her hand. The bright red nail polish on her fingernails made her hand look even more fair.
If this hand were stained with blood, it would look different, wouldn’t it?
After thinking this, Xier slowly clenched her fist.
A little anticipation.
Then, she looked up at the back of the person in front with a smile.
Xie Wen, who was slowly leading the way, suddenly felt a chill and many scrutinizing eyes, which made him shiver.
Why did the weather suddenly turn cold? Wasn’t it summer?
Xie Wen seemed to suddenly realize something. He secretly glanced back and saw that the three bugs behind Lin Hao were staring at him intently.
The problem was that they were smiling. When he saw their smiles, he shivered again.
He thought bitterly to himself, had he done anything that angered gods and men? Why were those three great gods staring at him like that?
Xie Wen didn’t look back again and continued to lead the way silently.
Lin Hao followed behind him and suddenly felt someone looking at him. He turned his head and saw Qin Mohan looking at him.
His heart skipped a beat.
His heart pounded.
Could it be that he had been recognized?
No, no.
They hadn’t spoken yet, so they probably hadn’t recognized him.
Lin Hao calmed himself down.
Then he smiled politely at Qin Mohan.
But when his gaze fell on the girl behind Qin Mohan, his smile froze for a moment, and then he slowly shifted his gaze.
Then he continued to follow the person forward.
Lin Hao lowered his head. The joy in his eyes had almost burst out.
Fei’er.
Fei’er.
Had his Fei’er become so beautiful now?
He glanced at her and saw that Fei’er’s gaze was always following Qin Mohan, not giving any attention to anyone else. It seemed she liked Qin Mohan.
After interacting with Qin Mohan for those two years, he understood him quite well.
Although his old classmate had a grumpy face and spoke harshly, he was decent to people and was someone worth entrusting.
Seeing that Fei’er had found the person she liked, he was somewhat relieved.
Although he might not have the chance to acknowledge her now or in the future, seeing Fei’er happy was a good experience.
Qin Mohan’s heart pounded wildly when he saw his favorite streamer smile at him. This heartbeat was developing uncontrollably.
Although he was very happy, he did not miss the special look the streamer gave Zhao Feier.
Did he know Zhao Feier?
Or did he like her?
Love at first sight?
He turned his head to look at Zhao Feier and remembered what Bai Han had told him.
“Miss Zhao is so beautiful, why don’t you like her?”
“I don’t know why Miss Zhao likes someone like you.”
Could the person he had a crush on now actually like Zhao Feier?
Thinking this, Qin Mohan’s good mood from the streamer smiling at him was instantly dispelled.
This kind of thing absolutely could not happen.
He would not allow it to happen.
He glanced at Zhao Feier and followed behind them.
Zhao Feier, who had been standing beside him, did not miss the subtle expression on his face.
Mohan, are you jealous?
Are you jealous because the Bug King gave her a special look?
Does he have feelings for her?
Has his effort finally received a response from him?
Thinking this, Zhao Feier did not ponder his expression when he looked at her carefully, but smiled and followed behind him.
At this moment, at the entrance of the Mayor’s Palace, Li Huan, who was sitting on the stone lion at the entrance, kept looking in the direction of the square, but after a long time, he still didn’t see anyone.
Then he turned to Bai Chen and said, “Bai Bai, when do you think they will come? Why haven’t we seen anyone for so long?”
They had already been gone for more than ten minutes, why hadn’t they returned yet?
Are they not planning to hold the meeting?
Then, can he go home and eat?
He had been so stressed from attending meetings lately that he hadn’t hugged his beloved bed for a long time. If he didn’t go back soon, his bed would almost not recognize him.
What kind of situation was this?
If he had known, he wouldn’t have come.
“They should be here in a few more minutes,” Bai Chen said, looking at Li Huan, who was becoming impatient, and comforted him.
He knew that Li Huan didn’t like waiting for people or things. The fact that he could wait for such a long time was already a great improvement.
“Aren’t you going home?” Li Huan suddenly turned to Bai Chen and asked.
It was true. They had been back in the Federation for so long, and no one had mentioned going home. Didn’t he miss home?
“Do you want to go back?” Bai Chen threw the question back to Li Huan.
Whether he went back or not was closely related to the person in front of him. If he didn’t go back, then he wouldn’t go back either.
Besides, there was nothing in that place worth his nostalgia. It felt the same whether he went back or not.
“Me? I’m fine either way.” Li Huan, who was sitting on the stone lion, paused slightly when he heard Bai Chen’s question.
Then, while thinking, he swung his legs and gave Bai Chen an answer after a minute.
In fact, it was all the same whether he went back or not.
Back then, when he wanted to go out and make a living, his father roared at the door, “If you leave, don’t come back if you can’t make it!”
Li Huan, who had already wanted to leave, was provoked by this and left without looking back. However, it had been many years since he left. The only thing that surprised him was that Bai Chen had followed him out.
This robot, who ate and slept on a strict schedule, would actually do something so rebellious.
Seeing Bai Chen with his luggage packed at that time, he was truly shocked for a hundred years.
“Bai Bai, tell me, what does your sister look like now?” Li Huan suddenly thought of something and turned to Bai Chen and asked.
Bai Chen looked at him and then looked into the distance and said, “Why are you asking about her?”
He didn’t know if he was thinking of someone, but a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
“I was just thinking, with her annoying personality, it’s been so many years, surely no one wants her by now,” Li Huan said to Bai Chen with a smile.
In fact, at that time, he had guessed that Bai Chen’s decision to come out with him was mostly related to his stepsister. A blended family, no need to explain too much, everyone knew.
It was nothing more than vying for favor, various schemes, and then acting weak, nothing good.
The only good thing about his family was that there were no illegitimate children or stepmothers, etc.
And Bai Chen probably couldn’t stand the differential treatment, so he impulsively came out with him.
He still hadn’t confirmed this guess.
“I don’t know,” Bai Chen replied to Li Huan’s question.
Ever since he came out with Li Huan, he hadn’t paid attention to news from his family. Even though many people urged him to go back quickly, he chose to ignore them.
Rather than returning to that place of intrigue, it was more enjoyable to be a pirate with this little fool.
“Oh.”
This robot was really boring.
“They’re here,” Bai Chen’s words interrupted Li Huan’s thoughts.
He saw the large group of Lin Hao and the others.
A huge bug race moved in perfect formation. Even from a distance, one could feel the ground shaking.
“Finally, they’re here.”
Li Huan immediately jumped down from the stone lion and looked into the distance. Indeed, he saw Lin Hao’s large group.
It really was him.
In less than ten minutes, Lin Hao walked past them. Li Huan seemed to see Lin Hao glance at them before entering the Mayor’s Palace with the Federation President.
Li Huan turned and looked at their retreating backs, and said to Bai Chen, “Did he just look at us?”
“Mm.”
Bai Chen had also felt Lin Hao’s gaze just now. Although it was only for a few seconds, he had felt it.
So, what did that look mean?
Was he going to acknowledge them or not?
“Xiao Huan’er and Xiao Bai, where have you been these past few months? Why haven’t you returned to the base for so long?”
A clear male voice interrupted their thoughts. They turned their heads and saw their leader – Shi Tian.
Seeing him, they didn’t continue to ponder Lin Hao’s previous gaze. Instead, they immediately knelt on one knee and said to the red-haired young man, “Greetings, Leader.”
“Oh, you know the rules of Red Flower. You don’t need to bow so formally when you see me,” Shi Tian said, looking at the people kneeling before him.
Although he said this, he still didn’t let them get up.
In fact, when he first arrived here, he had sensed that the two of them were here. He didn’t rush to appear before them.
Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with their disappearance for the past few months, for pirates, going wherever they pleased was their freedom, as long as they said something.
However, these two had disappeared for months without saying a word, which made him a little unhappy.
Li Huan, kneeling on the ground, looked up at his boss and said, “We weren’t aimlessly wandering, nor did we intend to betray you. We were captured by the Bug King to be used as backup rations.”
Going out to watch a show shouldn’t be considered aimless wandering, right? It just so happened that Xier captured them, and it shouldn’t be their fault, right?
It shouldn’t be.
At this moment, it was best to tell the truth, as it would be quicker.
“Oh? Really?” Shi Tian heard this explanation and was clearly somewhat disbelieving.
How could it be so coincidental that the Bug race captured them, and they returned safely? The entire statement was full of suspicion.
It was not convincing enough.
“Really.” Bai Chen also raised his head at this moment and said to Shi Tian with certainty.
Shi Tian, who had been somewhat suspicious of Li Huan’s words, saw Bai Chen’s affirmation, and his credibility increased from five points to ten.
Because he knew that Bai Chen had no reason to lie.
“Okay, get up,” Shi Tian said to them and then walked in without even looking at them.
He didn’t have time to deal with them now. The only thing that mattered was the Bug King.
The Bug King’s mental power, the moment he appeared in his sight, felt strangely familiar.
Although it was faint, he could still sense it.
Such an interesting mental power required careful observation in the future.
What if that person had returned?
Lin Hao followed Xie Wen to a lecture hall. They casually found a spot and sat down, not choosing a place too close to the podium, but a corner towards the back.
As for the podium, he didn’t want to go there anymore; he had had enough of it in the past.
Alpha and the others also sat next to the cub to ensure his safety.
Xie Wen had initially intended to lead them back to the conference room, but then he realized that with so many of the Bug race attending, the conference room wouldn’t be able to accommodate them, so he brought them to the lecture hall.
He went to the podium and looked at the attendance rate. He noticed that while the Bug race had more people present, the other areas were mostly empty.
Seeing that most people had arrived, Xie Wen began to speak.
