The warship was suspended in the air at night, and Shi Xing suddenly disappeared the next day.
The talent assessment was postponed and Shi Xing suddenly entered the mature stage and the gossip came one after another.
If you say there is no connection between them, Lu Lu doesn’t believe it.
Especially since Tree Nest forbids people from visiting Shi Xing. If he had entered the maturity period normally this would never have happened.
Lu Lu had never heard of not being allowed to visit the blue star people during their maturity phase.
Lu Lu suppressed his feelings for another three days. When he finally heard from the imperial capital that the Tan family, which controlled the Seventh Army, might participate in this year’s matching dinner, Lu Lu could no longer sit still.
He and Shi Xing had always gotten along naturally, but this time, he felt that he had to do something otherwise Shi Xing would be taken away by others.
In the medical room, Shi Xing was in a daze. After half a glass of water went down his throat, Shi Xing could finally speak with difficulty and realized what he had asked Chi Yao, who had a royal background, to do.
Chi Yao had already pressed the call bell before he could say anything. The healers in white coats filed in, instantly separating Shi Xing and Chi Yao.
Shi Xing found a way to have a good outlook and thought that this was a good thing, so they wouldn’t feel embarrassed.
The diagnostic devices again covered Shi Xing’s body.
“Body temperature has returned to normal.”
“Mental sea is stable.”
“Mental power fluctuations are within the normal threshold for the maturity period of the blue star person.”
As medical reports kept coming in, Shi Xing felt dazed.
Soon, the medical healer concluded, “He has recovered. After observing for another two days, he can be discharged.”
Shi Xing suddenly remembered something and urgently asked, “The talent assessment…?”
The healer replied, “You’ve slept for three days, and the talent assessment has already been postponed.”
“The administrator will set the time for the talent assessment after you are discharged…” Chi Yao’s voice was not loud, but everyone in the room could still hear it clearly.
Shi Xing thought, oh, then that’s fine.
The healer finally handed Shi Xing a small basket of crystals, “There are no high-level beast cores stored in the Tree Nest. If you feel inadequate energy in the next few days, use these crystals. If your condition doesn’t improve after absorption, remember to call me.”
After receiving Shi Xing’s assurance, the healer came and went promptly.
Holding a crystal in his hand, Shi Xing noticed it was not a red crystal, but the kind of crystal provided beneath the Mother Tree. If he remembered correctly…
Shi Xing slowly asked, “Are these crystals taken from the battleship’s energy storage?”
Crystals and beast cores were common energy sources in the interstellar era.
Hearing the question, Chi Yao sat back down on the chair in front of the hospital bed and nodded his head in acknowledgment.
Shi Xing instantly felt the crystal was a little too hot in his hand. He couldn’t stop but said, “Is it…too wasteful for me to use it?”
Clearly, the battleship supported by these high-level crystals couldn’t be an ordinary ship.
“Why did you say that? As long as it’s useful for anyone, it’s not called waste.” Chi Yao found Shi Xing’s question odd.
Assuming that the person in high position wouldn’t care about those things, Shi Xing could only smile at him.
Lowering his head, Shi Xing suddenly caught a glimpse of the serious and intricate embroidery on Chi Yao’s collar and cuffs.
His gaze seemed to linger for a moment on the special insignia and then he subtly withdrew his gaze.
Had it been someone else, Shi Xing might have thought all those details were too extravagant, but Chi Yao’s noble demeanor completely carried that attire.
Moreover, Shi Xing faintly had the feeling that this outfit was too simple compared to Chi Yao’s aura, not knowing whether it was because people from the royal family inherently matched formal attire so well…
The hospital room slowly fell into silence, before Chi Yao suddenly said, “There’s no need to be formal.”
“It’s me who asked you to take over Fei Chu’s case. I must bear the responsibility, and it’s only right to come see you.”
Hearing that, Shi Xing raised his eyes slightly. The pair of solemn gray eyes before him curved slightly.
“Also, since I brought you over, your attending physician has already said to me in person that we have been too reckless at least ten times…”
“Fei Chu is fine now. If I don’t come to check on you, who knows how she’ll scold me behind my back.”
Shi Xing, “!!!”
Hearing Chi Yao’s words, Shi Xing hurriedly clarified, “No, she wouldn’t.”
“How do you know?” Chi Yao casually asked.
But Shi Xing’s mind, which had just started working, blurted out without even thinking, “She wouldn’t dare.”
Having realized what he’d said, Shi Xing immediately understood this was bad.
He assumed Chi Yao’s identity was significant in the Empire, but some things were better left unspoken. He didn’t know if he had committed some taboo…
