Lin Hao spent several more months there.
He didn't know why, but every time he went out to train at night, there was always an uninvited guest.
Tonight, Lin Hao had scheduled mental power training. He sat on a tree, slowly emptying his mind, then little by little, he felt his own mental power and gradually trained it to do things.
At that moment, Lin Hao's tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open. A flicker of blue light flashed in his dark pupils. He looked at a training dummy in front of him, intending to teleport to its location.
The dummy was about three hundred meters away.
He felt he would succeed.
But when he opened his eyes again, he was not at the target location.
He had only appeared at the base of the tree.
This was a far cry from what he had imagined.
What had gone wrong?
He had clearly followed the instructions from class, guiding his mental power step by step.
Why had he failed?
Seeing the result, Lin Hao squatted under the tree, feeling disappointed, and slowly drew circles with one hand.
He was truly useless.
"Hahahahaha, your attention was completely diverted by me. It would be a miracle if you succeeded! Squatting on the ground and drawing circles, if Old Man Zhao Jianye knew, would he directly find another knight for Fei'er?"
Ye Xue, who had been watching everything from the corner, lowered her head and chuckled softly. A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but it vanished instantly, as if it had never been there.
She slowly emerged from the darkness, looked at Lin Hao squatting on the ground, walked step by step to his side, looked down at the top of Lin Hao's head, and bent down to mock him.
She didn't know if it was because she had been doing too much fortune-telling lately, but she felt that this person who squatted down at the slightest setback was her fated person.
If she had known, she should have gotten her fortune told again now that her body had mostly recovered.
If he really was him, she could truly be free.
Living was too tiring.
Ye Xue looked up at the starry sky, a hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes.
The same sky again, so annoying.
When would these days end?
Lin Hao, who was squatting on the ground resting, immediately stood up upon hearing Ye Xue's words and walked in front of her. He looked down at her distinctive mismatched eyes and asked in a somewhat cold voice, "How do you know about Fei'er?"
Why did this girl in front of him know about the Zhao family? Zhao Jianye had sworn to him back then that no one in this world except the Zhao family would know of Fei'er's existence.
So, who had spread this news?
And what secrets did this girl have behind her, or what background did she possess?
Why had Old Man Zhao Jianye not given him any information about such a dangerous person?
Ye Xue was not intimidated by his tone or height. Instead, she sat down on the ground in a more comfortable position. She casually lifted her head and, seeing Lin Hao's serious face, her discomfort vanished.
Like a little rooster.
Zhao Feng had been right all along.
Alas, she would just have to take it one step at a time.
Perhaps this person in front of her was indeed the one.
"Don't be so wary of me. In this universe, there is nothing I don't know if I want to know. Come sit here. Call me nicely, and I can train you so your mental power isn't so weak." Ye Xue looked into Lin Hao's eyes, patted the spot next to her, and softly gestured for him to come and sit.
Then, she slowly stretched.
Her eyes noticed that Lin Hao was still wary of her, and his expression didn't change much.
Children are naturally suspicious.
She lowered her head and idly fiddled with her fingers. A minute later, she said indifferently to Lin Hao, "Tomorrow, your brother will be back, but he's injured, though not critically. Also, the empire failed to attack the Zerg for the nth time. Tsk, I clearly told them it wasn't time yet. Why was Qin Dongsheng still so impulsive, like a child, not listening to advice?"
As she spoke, Ye Xue couldn't help but mock the empire's king a few times. Then, for some reason, she looked meaningfully at the young man in front of her.
The time was not yet right.
After listening for so long, Lin Hao increasingly felt that the girl in front of him was a charlatan.
Tsk, in this interstellar era, still playing the fortune-telling game, how outdated.
She didn't look that old either.
He glanced at Ye Xue with disdain and then walked towards his dormitory.
If he had known she was so eccentric, he wouldn't have thought so highly of her.
He had wasted his suspicions.
She was just a second-dimensional girl seeking attention.
But this joke was a bit too much, even daring to call His Majesty the King by name.
He could only say, she was too brave.
Lin Hao reached his dormitory, pushed open the door, and saw his new roommate looking at him hesitantly, as if he had something to say.
"What's wrong, Ah Zhao?"
Lin Hao walked past Su Zhao and went to his bed. He looked up at him and asked if something had happened.
This new roommate had been assigned to him by the captain recently. When he asked why he was suddenly being moved to a new dormitory, the captain had only said, "An arrangement from above," and said nothing else.
They were all sensible people, so there was no need to be overly explicit. Lin Hao had already guessed who had arranged this dormitory for him.
After these few days of getting along, he felt that this new roommate was alright.
Moreover, this dormitory was a rare double-occupancy room.
This cheap brother of his was actually somewhat useful.
Hearing his roommate's question, Su Zhao decided to voice the words he had been holding back.
He moved a chair and sat in front of Lin Hao. He looked into Lin Hao's eyes and said seriously, "You should stay away from Ye Xue, for your sake and your family's."
After saying that, he sat on the chair and quietly watched Lin Hao.
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
Lin Hao heard this and looked at his face with some confusion.
He could say with certainty that everyone in the army, especially those in the combat divisions, wanted to team up with Ye Xue from the guidance class. Yet, why did his new roommate's eyes hold deep fear when he mentioned Ye Xue's name?
Even though Su Zhao hid it well, Lin Hao still detected the deep emotion in his eyes.
"How can I explain this to you? There are sayings among the nobles: 'I would rather offend the king than the Ye family, especially the heir of the Ye family, Ye Xue.' Because the king might simply confiscate some property, but the Ye family can destroy your thousand-year-old foundation in an instant."
Seeing the confusion in Lin Hao's eyes, Su Zhao walked to the door, stuck his head out, and looked around carefully. Finding no suspicious people, he then went to the window and, like at the door, looked for a long time. Feeling safe, he quickly drew the curtains and whispered to Lin Hao.
Short sketch:
Finally feeling much better, hehe.
Love you all~
