Chapter 118
Shi Nian felt that he had figured it out. So, he showered and changed his clothes before going to have dinner.
Then he found out that he was going out with Lu Bo Ting tomorrow.
He took a look at Mrs. Lu and Marshal Lu, who were whispering something. Without paying attention to them, he leaned over and whispered, âA date, boss! But I havenât promised⦠yet.â
ââ¦â¦â Lu Bo Ting hurriedly said, âitâs just for work.â
Shi Nian nodded, âOh.â
âWork, then I wonât be wearing my best outfit tomorrow.â
Lu Bo Ting wanted to say that he should wear it, but then he suddenly realized what Shi Nianâs best outfit looked like and thought that it was better not to wear it.
The next day, Lu Bo Ting took Shi Nian to the places he had spent all night preparing.
The first stop was for ice skating.
Of course, the Shih Nian in the background check did not know how to do it, but Lu Bo Ting had no doubt that the current Shih Nian would definitely know how to do it.
As expected, Shi Nian didnât even have to adapt; he just put on his skates and went out.
He had obviously done this before.
Not just skating, but skiing too. Of course, it wasnât as stress-free as it is now, but there were stages in the game with such places.
At that time, he couldnât turn into a human; he was a phoenix anyway.
The NPC, after being confused for a couple of seconds, gave him a pair of skates that his claws could wear.
It was the first time he had ever done this as a human, but he was so good at balancing that it was a small feat for him.
Shi Nian skated around quickly, then returned to the same spot and looked at Lu Bo Ting: âBoss, change your shoes!â
Lu Bo Ting withdrew his gaze from him as he had been staring and changed his shoes.
By this time, someone had already spotted the two of them.
âShit, is that Marshal Lu?â
âMarshal Lu is here to play? Donât guys like him play with mecha as toys? â
âObviously, heâs here.â Another pointed at Shi Nian, âLook, brother Shi is here too. I guess they came here together.â
âSo pampered!â
âYes, Iâm so jealous. How come the Lu family has been producing good men for generations? If I didnât know any better, I would have wanted to marry him. â
âWho wouldnât want to? Look at Mrs. Lu. Her husband spoils her, her son is reliable; what a dream life. Oh, they have their own money and are among the strongest on the main star. Who dares to mess with them? â
âBrother Shi is great too. I just hate myself for being a guide. If I were a sentinel, I would definitely have to chase after him⦠â
Zhu Lizheng happened to be over with his friends today, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Shi Nian gliding past, turning and coming back very smoothly, not to mention being able to do all the difficult movesâ¦.
âYou say, can he do everything?â
He could still see the scene from the last time he was abused in the billiard room.
The Wu family had fallen, and Bai Zihan had been stabbed a few times⦠He was still quite distressed, but in the end, he didnât dare to provoke Shi Nian.
His cousinâs words scared him last time, and then he watched Shi Nianâs performance in the big game. Was he someone human beings could deal with?
Not even a cadet could do that. He couldnât even beat a cat, and he had been scratched twice yesterday, so what else could he do?
Of course, he had to stay as far away as possible.
Without thinking, Zhou Lizheng waved his hand and said, âBrothers, letâs get out of here.â
Then the group of people went to change their shoes and prepared to leave.
As they were leaving, he glanced back and seemed to see Bai Zihan.
He frowned, but thought he had seen wrong.
After all, Bai Zihan had just been discharged from the hospital. His face was as white as a ghost, and he was walking weakly, so how could he possibly come to play this game?
Forget it, heâd better run. Every time he meets Shi Nina, nothing good comes out of it. If the big Wu family could fall, how about him? So he has to runâ¦â¦
Zhou Liezheng was running out of the arena while still pulling his friend beside him, âHurry up, hurry up.â
He went out today without taking a proper look. It was not appropriate to go out and have fun; it was good to go drinking.
âThe next time we discuss where to go, donât say anything. You have terrible ideas!â
And of course, Shi Nian had no idea about any of this.
He was having a good timeâ¦. no, doing figure skating.
He was already good-looking and did all the complicated moves well, which attracted a lot of people to look at him.
Lu Bo Ting skated with him for two laps before he was left behind and he danced alone on the ice, attracting a large number of people to watch him.
Marshal Lu suddenly rushed over without thinking, and pulled the person for another lap.
Of course, Shi Nian didnât refuse. After all, even if someone like Lu Bo Ting had never done this kind of sport before, his balance was not comparable to that of ordinary people, and his skating skills were quite good.
There were a lot of people watching from the outside, and there were even people who had turned on their light brains to record videos.
It didnât take long for the hot searches to have topics about Marshal Lu and his lover showing affection climbing up the rankings.
âThe two of them are so good that people canât afford to be jealous.â Someone sighed, âMarshal Lu is a good-looking and powerful man, and he has a rare physique that hasnât been seen in over a hundred years.â
âYes, this pair is a perfect match.â
Right next to them, Bai Zihan bowed his head with a resentful look on his face.
What do they look like? They donât match each other. How could Shi Nian have become like this in such a short period of time when he was just a bum who was driven out to the Edge star?
First the Bai family, now the Wu family, and even the Yue familyâs back road had been cut off.
All of this started with the return of this man.
It was all because of him.
If it werenât for him, how could he, the beloved young master of two families, have ended up in such a state?
Shi Nian! Itâs all Shi Nianâs fault!
It was him who took my luck. As long as he died, I would get it back.
Next to him came a female voice, saying, âThere is no way to make a move here. Do you have a solution or not? â
âDidnât you say they would go to the amusement park afterwards? What can happen here? But the park is differentâ¦.â Bai Zihan said quietly.
In the midst of the intense cheering, their voices did not stand out at all. No one even paid attention to them, and no one noticed until they quietly went out.
After having a good time, Shi Nian and Lu Bo Ting changed their shoes and went out for a bite to eat.
The place they went was one of those that Lu Bo Ting had searched for on Star Network yesterday and had very good reviews and reputation.
Shi Nian had a great time eating.
However, it was not in his character to be so âquietâ. When he had almost finished eating, he finally asked, âBoss, didnât you say you had serious work to do?â
ââ¦â¦â
âEating is a serious business, âLu Bo Ting said.â
Shi Nian laughed and said, âYes, who can deny that eating is one of lifeâs major events.â
After all, you can skip everything else, but you can never skip a meal.
Lu Bo Ting said with a tense face, âNo, itâs not!â
But in his heart, he was thinking, âXue Chi is right, Shi Nian is so arrogant. But who canât be impressed by such a beautiful, little arrogant person?
The best thing to do is to stop teasing him.
The more he smiled, the happier he was.
There was a dessert on the table that was so good that Shi Nian couldnât resist ordering another one.
After eating, he went to the washrooms.
On the way, he met someone he knew, or had met before.
Shi Zha.
Itâs the scumbag ex of his classmate, Xiaomu. The last time he saw him was at a banquet hosted by the Wu family, where he was brought by Miss Hua.
It seems that the two of them were broken up by the old man, who knew the truth, and the scumbag tried to eat his way back.
But scum is scum, and it was only a matter of time before there was a new woman in his life.
The new girl was a charming female guide, and the two of them were stunned to see him.
Shi Zha hugged and kissed her for a short while in front of a large crowd, and then sent the female guide aside with a few words.
âShi Nian! Mr. Shi.â He said, âI later realized that it was you who told Xiaomu about me and Miss Hua, and it was you who told Elder Hua that I was in two different boats.â
Shi Nian was not very good with scum and looked at him, âWhat? You want to settle accounts with me? â
âI donât dare.â Shi Zha hurriedly shook his head, âLetâs say that I would never do anything to a guide. And even if I fight, I guess I canât beat you. â
Damn, this dead scumbag is quite self-aware.
He was too lazy to talk to this kind of person and was ready to go back to Lu Bo Ting.
At that moment, he heard Shi Zh say, â Mr.Shi, in the future, just ignore this kind of business! Itâs okay when itâs Xiaomu, but the Hua family has nothing to do with you. The lady pesters me and loves me to death. You justâ¦â
Shi Nian: âGo away.â
After he finished speaking, he passed over him and walked directly to Lu Bo Ting. Halfway through, he suddenly stopped, âThatâs not meddling, itâs to save innocent girls from scumbags.â
âHahahaha! â Shi Zha was laughing.
He seemed to be about to say something else, but in the end he shook his head and said, âForget it, you can do whatever you want anyway. Who cares?â
After these words were said, the two of them were so disgusted with each other that they simply parted ways.
When Shi Nian went back, Lu Bo Ting had already finished settling the bill. As they walked out, Marshal Lu took a look back at Shi Zha.
âYou know that guy?â
âA scumbag.â He said, and he briefly explained what had happened at the time. Lu Bo Ting had a slight impression of it. After all, it seemed to have temporarily damaged the cooperation between the Wu and Hua families, and Xue Chi had mentioned it.
âSpeaking of which, the Hua family should really be grateful to me.â Shi Nian muttered, âOtherwise, if something happened to the Wu family, their family would have been affected as well.â
âBut boss, what are our arrangements after here?â
Lu Bo Ting said, âAn amusement park.âShi Nian was instantly interested.
He had never been to an amusement park in a normal world.
An amusement park where there were no spirits, no roller coasters that suddenly broke in the middle of a ride, and a carousel that spun people off.
It was not too crowded, so they didnât even have to queue up.
The ice skating rink was a very expensive âaristocratâ rink, but the dining area was very ordinary. The amusement park they were now at was the kind with high admission fees, so not many people could come.
After all, who wouldnât go to a cheaper place for the same thing, except for those who have a certain amount of money?
But then again, the service here was relatively better.
Once inside, one could choose between a robot and a real person to guide you around, so Shi Nian chose the robot and followed him all the way in.
The amusement park in the interstellar was a bit different from what he had known before, and he even saw a trapeze from inside.
It was an area surrounded by special transparent glass, and the gravity of the space inside had been adjusted so that people would float when they walked in, and they wore devices on their feet to keep their bodies from floating head down.
It looked like fun.
âThat one! Letâs go play on that one first. â Shi Nian immediately pulled Lu Bo Ting over.
Behind them, Bai Zihan and Yan Nuo, who had already arrived a step earlier, sneered: âHeâs really good. He picked that one as if he was courting death as soon as he arrived. â
âAre you ready?â Yan Nuo asked.
âDonât worry.â Bai Zihan said, âThat Shi Nian is so hateful. The people who helped me are all old members of the Wu family who were lucky not to be caught, and they all want him dead. â
Yan Nuo: âYes, itâs better that way.â
Yesterday, her father got the news, but he didnât even want to do anything.
That it was a waste of time.
He said that she was inferior to Shi Nian. But with Shi Nian dead, she would see who would compare them to each other.
She would see what Lu Bo Ting could do without her.
âAfter this, weâll pretend we donât know each other.â Bai Zihan said.
Yan Nuo said, âIâm not stupid. I canât go around spreading the word.â
âDonât worry, I will never see you after today, and you should never come to me in the future. So we donât know each other, and we have nothing to do with Shi Nianâs death. â
The two of them had somehow gotten together. They looked at each other and said, in unison, âThatâs good.â
When they turned around again, they saw that Shi Nian was already walking towards the game circle.
âWhy are there five more people? Forget it, they are out of luck. â Yan Nuo said.
Bai Zihan also said, âIf only they hadnât come to play at this time of the day⦠tsk, they were simply rushing to be buried with Shi Nian.â
âLu Bo Ting also went in.â
âHe must have his mech on him, so if he reacts quickly, he wonât die. And in that situation, he definitely wonât have time to save Shi Nian. â
âEh?â Bai Zihan suddenly said, âLu Bo Ting suddenly came out.â
Lu Bo Ting had received a call from Xue Chi.
He came out and answered it.
âMarshal.â Adjutant Xue said over the call, âThat Yan group is ready to return to the Federation, but Miss Yan Nuo has gone away somewhere.â
Although they were leaving on their own accord, it was not good to have anything happen in their empire.
The incident with the Wu family a few days ago had caused many departments in the empire to take a hit, and with the uncertainty of whether there were any other loyalists left out of the net, the security of the main star was not only in the hands of the original security departments, but also the Lu and Kang families were helping out.
As for the Yue family and the Emperor, their men had not yet sorted themselves out.
Therefore, this matter was reported to Lu Bo Ting.
Lu Bo Ting said casually, âHave someone go and find her.â
When he looked back, he found that Shi Nianâs side was already in the air, which meant that the equipment inside had been turned on.
Shi Nian and the other five were floating higher and higher, and of course, he had the best balance, floating wherever he wanted.
The others were all sentinels and were already very good, but they were still no match for him, so they flew unevenly, getting closer and closer to him.
The five men seemed to know each other, and he saw the five of them giving each other a wink. Shi Nian suddenly felt something was wrong and rushed to look at them.
The five men immediately shouted, âDo it.â
Shi Nian: ââ¦.â
The next second, the equipment seemed to have suddenly stopped.
The gravity inside instantly changed back to the original gravity of the main star, and people were rapidly falling inside. It felt like jumping off a tall building.
The five men were screaming and shouting as they fell.
âWhat the hell is this, a suicide attack?â
But thatâs not right. You want me to fall to my death by adjusting the gravity from the outside, but you have to add five more to make this accident more normal.
How does that even add up?
Or is it just a brain-dead attempt?
In contrast, the most calm of the six was Shi Nian. When he reached a certain height, he brought out the phoenix mecha and floated it under his feet to support his whole body.
Then he took out the mecha wires from his space pouch and threw them out one by one, tying all five of them up tightly and hanging them in mid-air.
He even yawned with his other empty hand.
Is that it?
It was a breeze, and he didnât even have to drive the mecha.
The staff downstairs were frightened. âWhatâs going on? Whatâs going on? Who turned off the machine? â¦â
âI just got tangled up with a tourist. I didnât turn it off either! â
Lu Bo Tingâs entire body aura was different. He had already rushed in and released the Ink Dragon.
âGo and get him.â
Ink dragon: âYes, master, Iâll go and bring your beloved back to you.â
Lu Bo Ting glared at him. He was still talking too much at such a time.
Even though he knew intellectually that nothing would happen to Shi Nian, his heart was still on edge when he saw him flying so high in the air with five people hanging from him.
Someone suddenly shouted, âThey did it. Come and catch these two people. They are the ones who wanted to kill Shi Nian.â
Lu Bo Ting immediately looked at them and saw two people dressed up in disguise.
A man and a woman.
At that moment, they were panicking and trying to run away, but one of them had lost their glasses, so people recognized them and said, âYan Nuo? Isnât this the one who wants to be the mistress? â
