Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 1031 Manor
The flying car stopped at the entrance of the manor, which was shrouded in a faint halo of light—a protective shield that Shi Jia had purchased at a high price.

"Huh? Why did it stop?" Shi Jia looked at Si Liyue in confusion.

"Sir, your permission is required."

"Oh, oh." Shi Jia slapped his forehead and turned on the smart device.

The next moment, the flying car received permission to enter the manor. Qin Yue started the flying car, which entered the manor and drove along the road.

Shi Jia couldn't wait to open the car window and admire his estate. Nearby was a garden, and in the distance were rolling hills.

She listened intently; the sound of rushing water was very close. Curious, she peered over to find the source of the sound.

"My lord, be careful!" Li Shengsheng quickly shielded Shi Jia.

"It's okay, I heard the sound of running water, but I didn't see the water. I want to see where it is." Shi Jia withdrew her head with some regret.

"Sir, would you like to see your estate?" Qin Yue, who was driving, asked.

Shi Jia blinked. What did that mean?
"My lord, how about I give you a ride around first?" Qin Yue suggested.

Shi Jia's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously, "Okay, let's take a look at the manor first."

Qin Yue immediately turned his flying chariot around and flew towards the river.

Soon the flying car hovered above the river. The river wasn't very wide, only about one and a half or two meters. The water was very clear, and the sand and stones at the bottom of the river were visible to the naked eye. There were also some small fish hiding behind some of the large rocks.

The river water seemed icy cold; Shi Jia could feel the chill even while leaning out of the flying car. Hmm, it felt so comfortable. She almost wanted to jump in and play for a bit.

"Has a bridge been built?" Shi Jia asked.

"It has been built. This river flows down from the Snow Ridge Mountain next to the manor, and the section flowing through the manor is 213 meters long. The designer designed a total of three bridges based on the future farming plan."

"Okay." Shi Jia nodded. "Hey, isn't there a lake over there?"

"Yes, the lake is newly excavated, and its shape was specially designed by the architect so that it can be used for both irrigation and aquatic plant cultivation. Of course, the shape of the lake, the artificial hills along its shore, and the plants planted have all been designed. I wonder if you like it?" Si Liyue asked nervously.

"Yes, I really like it, especially this spot by the lake. We can have a picnic here." Shi Jia was very satisfied.

Sili Yue breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes, going up this river leads to the hills belonging to the manor, and the plants on the hills have also been selected and cultivated by botanists. In addition, because our manor is adjacent to Snow Ridge Mountain, the designer also specially designed a mountain road leading to Snow Ridge Mountain..."

As Shi Jia listened to Si Liyue's explanation, her eyes gradually became blank. "Si Liyue, is the bill you gave me wrong?"

"Ah?" Si Liyue quickly waved her hand, "No, no, we wouldn't dare to lie to the adults."

"But according to what you're saying, can 100 million star coins really turn this manor into what it is now?" Shi Jia recalled the bill, which included not only the house renovation costs, but also environmental modification costs, the purchase costs of various intelligent machines, and, oh right, the protective shield covering the entire manor.

That's an incredible amount of purchasing power!

Shi Jia looked at the group with suspicion.

The group felt a chill run down their spines from the stare.

“Sir, you treated us without charging us last time, and we want to repay you,” Si Liyue said.

"That was your employee perk last time!" Shi Jia glared at them. Damn it, it wasn't the first time. But why wasn't she angry at all? Instead, she felt a warm feeling.
Siliyue looked at Shi Jiadao and said, "My lord, you may not know the pain of having your spiritual power eroded by pollutants. Our current easy life is unprecedented."

The entire human star system, not just the entire Aoxing Empire, is permeated with spiritual pollutants. Anyone who awakens their spiritual power will be constantly eroded by these pollutants.

The others nodded vigorously.

"Sir, compared to what you have given us, the little bit of money we paid is nothing."

"This is different!" Shi Jia puffed out her cheeks. "How about this, I'll give you another intensive mental therapy session, not a group one. Don't spend any more money on me this time!" she warned. But the money still had to be paid back slowly. Because this was her manor, all by herself.

The group exchanged glances, their expressions a mixture of warmth and helplessness.

Shi Jia was very satisfied with the manor. That very night, she ordered many items from the Light Network. For the next two days, she did not go to the Healing Center but instead decorated her room at home in preparation for her housewarming party.

That morning, Avril had just gotten up when she saw the latest model flying by in the distance, followed by another brand-new model, a custom model, and a Master Limited Edition...

She frowned. "Lin San San, what's going on outside? Why is it so lively?"

"Lady Avril, someone has checked into Manor No. 1 in Snow Ridge Mountain." Lin San San relayed the information he had gathered to Avril.

“Isn’t that His Majesty’s private estate? Is His Majesty staying here?” Avril raised an eyebrow.

Lin San San didn't speak, but gestured for her to look at the AI.

"A month and a half ago, the ownership of the manor changed hands, and it was suspected to be a 3S healer?" A surge of anger rose in Avril's heart. That was Snow Ridge Mountain No. 1! What right did that wild healer, who came from who-knows-where, have!
"Are you sure it's a 3S healer!" Avril stared at Lin San San. The latter did not hesitate, "Yes, I have confirmed that it is a 3S healer, but I have not seen the person in person, so I can only mark it as suspected."

Avril clenched her fists, her chest heaving, clearly indicating her unstable emotions. After a while, she said, "Hmph, so what if I'm a 3S healer?"

“Go prepare a gift and send it over.” Avril smiled.

Lin San San didn't understand her healer's purpose, but she obediently did as she was told.

*
While greeting her teacher, Shi Jia didn't pay much attention when she heard someone giving her a gift. In the past month or so, she had treated quite a few people, and many people knew that she was moving today.

Anyway, she had already received several gifts that morning.

"Okay, please register the gift giver and the gift."

"My lord, it was a gift from Healer Avril," Li Shengsheng said. Their healer wasn't familiar with Avril, so why would she send a gift? What was her purpose?
Did they find out about the identity of their healer through some means?
Li Shengsheng was thinking exactly what everyone present was thinking at that moment.

"Avril?" Shi Jia asked in surprise. "What did she give me?"

Li Shengsheng said, "It's just an ordinary gift, a small ornament."

"Hmm." Shi Jia nodded and looked at Fron. "Teacher, why do you think Avril gave me a gift?"

Fron pondered for a moment, "I remember the Ai family has a villa near Snow Ridge Mountain, perhaps Avril lives there! I suppose they saw flying cars coming and going from your place so often that they had someone inquire about it."

"You should know that this is Snow Ridge Mountain Manor No. 1!" The significance of Manor No. 1 is something that the upper echelons of the entire Imperial Capital Star must understand.

"Whether Avril sent a congratulatory gift out of consideration for befriending the Qin royal family or for other reasons, it is perfectly reasonable."

Fron made some sense, but Shi Jia felt that Avril might have other intentions, especially if she knew her true identity.

“Don’t worry, little Slana. Avril is the most popular healer in the empire and is proud. Even if she knows your identity, she might be resentful, but I don’t think she will do anything outrageous.” Fron admired Avril.

Shi Jia nodded. "Then, Sheng Sheng, you can just send a return gift as usual." Since the other party hadn't said anything, she would pretend she knew nothing.

"Yes!"

……

"That's all? You didn't say anything?" Avril looked at the box Lin San San brought back in disbelief.

"As I said, thank you for the congratulatory gift, Healer Avril."

"Bang!" Avril swatted the box away. "So this is a 3S healer? You don't even respect me, Avril, at all?"

Lin San San remained silent.
