The Marshal’s Wife is Wild
Chapter 83 - 82: Where Eyes Meet

Chapter 83: Chapter 82: Where Eyes Meet

"Little girl, take me to your house. I have a healing chamber, just two hours and I’m good," Old Yuan guessed that Qu Tong was amenable to softer approaches, so he softened his tone as well.

"No."

Qu Tong’s refusal was unexpected.

This made Old Yuan quite frustrated.

He had originally gone after this girl. He’d wasted a month on Luyi Star, and didn’t even catch a glimpse of her.

It was only after asking around that he found out the girl had left Luyi Star to attend the First Military Academy.

Just two days ago, he took advantage of the Planetary Shield being down to sneak out, visited an old friend at the academy to chat and incidentally inquired about the girl’s whereabouts. After leaving through a back path in silence, he stumbled upon this mess.

He wasn’t sure if he should consider himself lucky or unlucky.

"If you take me back, I’ll pretend I didn’t see anything today. I won’t expose the fact that you’ve awakened your special ability, nor will I reveal your pharmacist identity. How about it?"

Old Yuan looked at Qu Tong with sincere eyes.

Qu Tong narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, which shone with profound depth, and her icy gaze fell upon Old Yuan.

"Are you joking?"

Old Yuan met Qu Tong’s gaze without a hint of fear, instead giving off an inscrutably profound presence.

"Why would I joke with you? I may not be capable of much, but I can smell the Advanced Mind Stabilizing Potion on you. It was even stronger when I was on that remote star."

Qu Tong approached and looked down at Old Yuan, spoke slowly, "How can you be sure the scent is from a pharmacist? And not just because I’m carrying an Advanced Mind Stabilizing Potion?"

Old Yuan confidently lifted his chin a bit and said with emphasis, "That’s experience~"

Qu Tong pursed her lips, pondering something to herself.

Old Yuan hurried to continue before Qu Tong could speak again, "Don’t worry, others can’t smell it. But for a little girl like you to mix an Advanced Spirit Power Potion, isn’t that a bit abnormal? Let me go back with you to heal, and I’ll help you solve it."

Qu Tong looked suspicious, "What is your surname?"

Old Yuan grinned, "You’re sharp, girl. I waive formality; my surname is Yuan."

Qu Tong showed no expression on her face, her tone cold, "Your purpose."

"I find your planet to be a very suitable place for retirement," Old Yuan answered very frankly.

A sly smile flashed in Qu Tong’s eyes, and her lips curved slightly, "Very well."

After people left,

A lean and tall silhouette emerged from the end of the shaded path.

The tall bushes cast shadows, making the place seem dimmer.

On the ground, the two men were still unconscious.

A pair of feet wearing golden-cloud-patterned boots stopped in front of the crew-cut man. The gaze lingered in the direction the two had gone for a moment before looking down, the stunning face outlined with a trace of disdain.

Ice-blue spiritual threads, substantial as reality, pierced into the crew-cut man’s spirit sea, shattered and stirred it.

The man’s body convulsed involuntarily, then returned to silence.

The person by the wall was not spared either.

Throughout this episode, no one noticed what had actually happened here within this hour.

When Old Yuan followed Qu Tong home, and faced Butler Chi with mutual stares,

Old Yuan thought to himself: I was too hasty!

It was his own fault for being in such a rush and not finding out that the girl was the wife of Empire War God Si Yuting. He would have been better off staying on Luyi Star digging holes.

Tears welled up in Butler Chi’s eyes as he gazed deeply at Qu Tong, his voice choked with emotion, "Madam, you are truly wonderful! His Highness will be very pleased to know."

Qu Tong: ???

Qu Tong looked at Elder Yuan, who lay on the stretcher looking utterly devastated, and then at Butler Chi, whose expression was so excited that it seemed he might glue his eyes to Old Yuan. She was completely baffled.

But she had things to take care of, so she didn’t ask further, and simply instructed the butler, "Elder Yuan has injured his lower back, he is my guest. Please lend a place for him to recuperate from his injury. I have other matters to attend to and will be back in about a week. Please trouble Uncle Chi to help take care of him during this period."

"Rest assured, Madam, I will take good care of Elder Yuan," Butler Chi promised earnestly.

Qu Tong nodded, boarded her flying vehicle and took a detour to the military hospital, bought some medicine, and then returned to school.

Meanwhile, as soon as Old Yuan had stepped out of the healing chamber, he was "invited" by a group of Royal Guards into the Imperial Palace, and Si Yuting was urgently summoned back overnight.

Early the next day, Elder Yuan was respectfully sent back to Yuelan Bay.

Elder Yuan glared at Si Yuting angrily and returned to the guest room Butler Chi had prepared for him.

Si Yuting stood at the entrance of his flying vehicle, his gaze lingering on a green vegetable garden at a corner of the lawn.

Following Si Yuting’s gaze, Butler Chi cheerfully introduced, "Your Highness, these were all planted by Madam. Madam’s energy plants are thriving. In two or three months, you will be able to enjoy them."

Si Yuting came back to his senses and nodded indifferently.

"It’s all thanks to Madam that we were able to find Elder Yuan. She really cares a lot about Your Highness."

Si Yuting nodded again.

Butler Chi continued to press, "Your Highness, Madam is still attending classes at school, would you like me to accompany you to find Madam?"

Si Yuting gave Butler Chi a look that was hard to decipher.

Butler Chi was taken aback, quickly wiped the ingratiating smile from his face, and stood up straight.

After a moment, Si Yuting finally said to Butler Chi, "You stay at home, I’ll go by myself."

"Certainly, Your Highness!" Butler Chi’s lips curled up in a smile.

Needing some personal space, I understand!

Si Yuting’s flying vehicle parked directly at the landing pad behind the school, and Principal Wei, having received the message in advance, came out to meet him personally.

"Marshal Si, you haven’t visited the First Military Academy in a long time. Are you here to see your wife this time?" Principal Wei asked while observing Si Yuting’s expression.

Seeing that Si Yuting’s expression remained unchanged, he continued, "Rest assured, Madam is doing very well at our school. We have not publicly revealed Madam’s identity, and no one has troubled her in the past half-month."

As they walked, Si Yuting suddenly halted, his brows furrowed slightly.

Unknowingly, Principal Wei had led him to the doorstep of Qu Tong’s classroom.

Almost at first glance, Si Yuting saw Qu Tong sitting in the middle of the classroom.

The instructor was explaining potion knowledge at the front, while the girl had a textbook in front of her. She tilted her head slightly, bit the cap of her pen, and then lowered her head to write something, her hair falling over her fair cheeks.

As she wrote, she seemed to sense something and looked in Si Yuting’s direction.

Their gazes met through the one-way glass, one without any awareness of the other.

One was cold and indifferent, the other was calm and perplexed.

Qu Tong paused for only two seconds as if it were an illusion, then quickly looked away and continued to listen attentively to the lecture.

"Let’s go," Si Yuting said as he withdrew his gaze, his tall and handsome figure moving away from the window.

Marshal Si stayed in the Principal’s office for less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before departing.

Principal Wei watched the distant flying vehicle, filled with questions.

Had the Empire’s Marshal come personally for such a trivial matter?

If he said he came especially to see his wife, yet he only glimpsed her once and even stopped him from calling her out.

That class wasn’t anything important, just basic knowledge.

It made no sense.
