Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 1023 Guards

"How about we go pick one out today..." Marshal Cheng suggested.

Shi Jia's suggestion is not entirely unreasonable.

"Wait!" Fron quickly interrupted, "There's no rush to choose guards. Little Slana is living in the Imperial Palace now, she's very safe."

As he said this, he glared at Marshal Cheng without any attempt to hide it. You old rascal, you think you're so quick?

"The most important thing now is for you, Little Slana, to learn the correct treatment methods." Fron's expression was serious, his eyes filled with reproach. "Although you have a high talent level, you can't keep exhausting yourself with energy and mental depletion every time you treat someone!"

Shi Jia felt a little guilty. Actually, she could control herself, but she just wanted to see what the little black dragon would be like after it fully recovered.

The others also looked grave upon hearing this. "Indeed, this was extremely dangerous. Fortunately, nothing serious happened."

"However, we can't entirely blame little Slana. It's still because you, Fron, didn't teach her the correct healing methods. Fortunately, little Slana is alright, otherwise, Fron, you would bear a great deal of responsibility!"

They looked at Fron with disapproval, but glanced at Qin Heng out of the corner of their eyes. In the end, it was His Majesty who was too impatient!
Qin Heng, who had been inexplicably stabbed, well, he was indeed anxious. "Ahem, Fron, I'm leaving this matter to you. Make sure you strictly teach Slana how to use her talent."

Somewhat frustrated, Frohn said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely keep a high standard for Slana."

Feeling like he'd missed out on a good show, Shi Jia nodded, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will study hard!"

The selection of the guard team was scheduled for two days later. In the following days, Shi Jia first followed Fron to learn the control of mental power, and how to control the output of his talent energy in subtle ways.

How subtle? To give an analogy, a reservoir faucet that could only drip at most has been modified into a sprayer. A single drop of water that flows out instantly becomes a spray that can last for at least ten seconds.

The biggest advantage of doing this is that it conserves talent energy. Although Shijia purifies pollution by absorbing energy, don't forget that healing also consumes energy. Every little bit saved counts, right?

Moreover, the contact area covered by an energy spray is always larger than that of an energy droplet!
Of course, Shi Jia felt that there were many benefits, but it was not so easy to achieve. First of all, it required a very high level of mental strength.

After receiving the method, she practiced for a day but still had no clue how to proceed, as it was not as simple as adding a sprayer to a faucet.

Wait for the sprayer...

“Little Slana? Any leads?” Fron asked with a smile.

Shi Jia shook her head. "It's a bit difficult, teacher. How long did it take you to master the energy spray technique?"

"What?" Fron's eyes widened. When did he say he had mastered the energy spray technique? "Ahem, little Slana, you misunderstood. I'm just an A-level healer, and my mental strength is also only A-level. Being able to control healing energy to the thickness of a 2-millimeter hair is already my limit."

Goodness, he seemed to have just made a metaphor, right? Did the little girl really take it seriously? But a 3S talent doesn't seem impossible.

"Ahem, but I believe Slana can do it, good luck!"

Shi Jia stared wide-eyed in disbelief. It turned out that she had racked her brains and practiced for two days, only to tell herself that it was just a hypothetical scenario!

"teacher!"

Fron didn't dare look at her. "Ahem, little Slana, we healers must avoid being overly ambitious. We must take it one step at a time. Energy sprays and such are not impossible. Do this: first condense the energy into a thread, try a thicker one first, and then a thinner one."

Although Frohn didn't seem very reliable, he was indeed very capable. Shi Jia asked several questions he had encountered in his cultivation, and they were all answered quickly.

Over here, Shi Jia was diligently practicing energy control, while over there, Marshal Cheng and the others had already selected the candidates for the guard team.

"But, Mu Zeyuan, you're really willing to do that. If I remember correctly, Mu Jingtian is about to graduate and join the military, right?" Marshal Cheng stared unfriendly at the group of people standing straight in front of him.

Let him see who they are! Qin Xiaoliu, Mu Jingtian, Florina, the girl from the Si family, the Li family, the Feng family... These people are all shameless!

No sooner had the news spread than these shameless people started crowding around! Marshal Cheng was utterly disgusted.

"Hehe, the Marshal is not to be outdone. I remember Cheng Ying is the most talented kid in your Cheng family this generation. What? You're willing to let him be a bodyguard?" Mu Zeyuan rolled his eyes.

Haha, it's like he had no intention of doing anything!
Don't think he doesn't know; just a couple of days ago, this old bastard was trying to get Little Slana to choose her guard team while they weren't looking. "Hmph, so what if they're talented? Everyone who sent these kids here knows that only by Little Slana's side will they truly have a future!" Marshal Cheng's eyes gleamed.

Mu Zeyuan nodded and said, "Little Slana should be here by now, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a black flying car drove up from a distance, then slowly slowed down and smoothly stopped in front of the two of them.

From the moment the flying car appeared, everyone on the training field fell silent.

Their eyes were fixed intently on the flying car.

The flying car door opened, and two people stepped out first: the chief steward of the Imperial Palace and the director of the Healing Center. Immediately after, a petite girl dressed in long black clothes, a hooded top, and a face mask stepped out.

Is this a 3S healer?
Everyone was somewhat disappointed that they hadn't seen the healer's true face.

Someone nudged Qin Duo, "Little Brother Qin, have you ever seen a healer? Does he look like this?"

Qin Duo frowned. "Don't speak, the Marshal is watching us."

Marshal Cheng was very dissatisfied when he heard the whispers. There was no discipline at all! He felt that most of the people in the group did not meet the requirements for guards.

However, each family was quite powerful, and since His Majesty did not intervene, he could only turn a blind eye.

“Little Si, here are fifty candidates. You will choose ten to be your personal guards today.”

“Okay.” Shi Jia nodded. “Marshal, could you separate them a bit? That way we can see them more clearly.”

Soon, the 50 people stood apart, each one meter apart.

"Alright, little Si, how are you going to choose?" Marshal Cheng asked with a smile.

Shi Jia glanced over and thought, "Hmm, the man is handsome, and the woman is dashing!" Appearances alone are not enough for selection.

Huh? I think I actually see someone I know!

She took two steps closer. "Sixth Prince? What are you doing here?"

"Hi, Slana." Qin Duo smiled.

"Marshal, is this... a mistake?" The dignified Sixth Prince of the Empire is going to be a candidate for her guard? Isn't this a bit outrageous?
Marshal Cheng shook his head. "No, little Slana, these candidates are the most outstanding warriors of the Aoxing Empire. You can choose whatever you like."

Shi Jia was a little confused. "Are you sure I want to choose? Is it really okay?"

"of course."

“But…” Shi Jia noticed again that some of the faces looked familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before.

But since Marshal Cheng repeatedly assured her, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and make her selections. She walked into the formation, weaving through the candidates. Based on her intuition, she chose ten people: two girls and eight boys.

"Are you sure these are the ten?" Marshal Cheng was pleased to see his eldest grandson selected.

Just as Shi Jia was about to nod, Qin Duo objected.

"Sister Slana, why didn't you choose me?"

Am I not capable enough?

"Um, Sixth Prince, your status is not suitable." Shi Jia didn't want to have a member of the royal family as a bodyguard when she went out in the future. Not only would it not make her feel prestigious, but it would also make her feel uneasy.

Of course, this is Shi Jia's current thought, and perhaps she will have different thoughts when she holds a higher position of power in the future.

"Why is my identity unsuitable?"
