I don't want to come up with a funny book title anymore.

Looking at his self-important attitude, Xie Fengnan almost began to doubt himself.

Could it be that he went to the wrong place again and ended up in Ye Jingtang's small canteen?

That's of course impossible.

Xie Fengnan was the only one in the entire First Military Academy to receive this treatment.

You're asking about Xie Xinghe?

He wasn't as particular about food as Xie Fengnan, although he wouldn't compromise himself when given a choice.

But they won't actively seek special privileges in such matters.

However, knowing that Xie Fengnan had this small canteen, it was understandable that he came over to eat with him.

They were both brothers, and the Xie family funded the construction.

There's no reason not to let him come.

"Have you been eating at the cafeteria all this time?"

The group found a spot together and sat down, waiting for the food to be served.

Ye Jingtang understood that this meant they were looking for trouble.

He said very sincerely, "I'm so hungry for you guys who haven't come back."

Xie Fengnan: ...

Alright, in this world, only love and food are worth cherishing!

He forgave Xiao Ye's behavior.

“I pay for my meals.”

After thinking about it, Ye Jingtang decided to speak up.

He didn't freeload!

Although the prices inside the small canteen are really affordable compared to those outside.

They probably treated him like that because he was a roommate of three.

But what does it matter!

If we let him buy it outside himself, it'll be expensive and not very tasty, wouldn't that be a waste of money?

The Xie family must have their own industrial chain to sustain their daily expenses.

They should still break even if they offer themselves a "friendship price".

Therefore, Ye Jingtang felt no guilt whatsoever.

That's the thing about human relationships; sometimes they're worthless, and sometimes they're worth a fortune.

"Oh," Xie Fengnan replied casually.

Whether Ye Jingtang pays for meals or not is actually irrelevant.

There's always a surplus of supplies in the small kitchen every day.

Even if they don't eat, the people in the kitchen will eat whatever they can.

Dispose of any leftovers.

Fresh ingredients are always better.

However, extravagance and waste do not occur very often.

If there's really nothing left to eat, they'll give it away, ostensibly to let people taste it and give their opinions.

People who ask for help usually accept it, since they figure it's better to accept something for nothing.

This stuff isn't cheap, so why not treat yourself to it occasionally as a treat?

Then the four of them just sat there in silence.

Seeing that they didn't do anything else, Xie Fengnan opened his terminal and started surfing the internet.

The thing Xie Xinghe didn't tell him should be causing some buzz online, right?

When I searched for the keywords, I couldn't find a single related result.

Xie Fengnan: ...I underestimated the Xie family's capabilities; that was my fault.

He then browsed the campus forum again, but still couldn't find any posts that directly explained these points.

All that remained were some dubious statements.

Guess what that person will do next.

Is the young master still safe and sound?

Xie Fengnan put down the terminal and asked Ye, "After we were tricked and driven away, did anything happen?"

Ye Jingtang looked at him with surprise: "You don't know?"

My family doesn't tell me these things.

Ye Jingtang, who comes from the Medusa family, immediately thought that Xie Fengnan's status in the family was practically nonexistent.

Therefore, they would not tell him anything that happened within the clan, nor would they allow him to participate.

However, judging from Xie Fengnan's tone and the recent commotion the Xie family has caused for him, this shouldn't be the case.

That means he doesn't need to worry about these things.

What a lucky young master!

Ye Jingtang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"The moment I learned you were missing, Marshal Xie almost blew up the school in his Night King car."

"???"

Xie Fengnan never expected that Xie Liuguang, who seemed so gentle and kind, could do something like this.

He really is a wolf in sheep's clothing!

"Is our dad that fierce?" Chu Jiaoyang became Xie Fengnan's mouthpiece this time.

"Who can argue with that? This matter alarmed the old principal, and it was only after he stepped in that he managed to stop the furious Xie Shuai."

Ye Jingtang recalled the scene at that time.

There are few people on the Imperial Star who don't recognize Xie Shuai's mecha.

When the students saw it, they thought it was for a social gathering or something.

Everyone's saying it's no wonder it's the top military academy; it's so prestigious.

They can also get Xie Shuai and Xie Liuguang to support them.

The Night King is a legendary mech that has captured the attention of the entire empire.

When it and Xie Shuai were galloping across the battlefield, their class of students hadn't even been born yet.

"and then?"

How can such a provocative act against imperial law be let off the hook?

And Xie Liuguang hasn't gotten into any trouble yet?

Xie Fengnan increasingly felt that everyone seemed to be secretly plotting something.

"Then, I don't know what they said, Xie Shuai left."

...What's the difference between saying this and not saying anything at all?

However, it's understandable that their conversation was definitely not made public.

Just as Xie Fengnan was pondering something, Ye Jingtang spoke up again.

"I've heard that many families have recently lost some members."

Oh, this sounds like a real sequel.

"Everyone is saying that Xie Shuai is using you as an excuse to profit for his family."

When Ye Jingtang said this, there was a meaningful undertone in his tone.

Xie Fengnan neither agreed nor disagreed.

The benefits gained from eliminating the enemy are simply spoils of war, aren't they?

Making a profit is justified; there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

It is somewhat sad if a person is valued only because of their worth.

But that's the reality.

Besides family, where else would you find someone who would love and support you unconditionally?

Besides, sometimes even family members wouldn't do that.

He's not a real elementary school student who would doubt his family's love because of something like this.

So if anyone is trying to use these kinds of remarks to sow discord between them, then they can stop now.

"I've finished explaining on my end. What's the situation on your end?"

Seeing that Xie Fengnan didn't seem to want to comment on what he had just said.

Ye Jingtang paused for a moment, then threw a new topic at him.

Xie Fengnan picked out some things to say and said them.

"It sounds like you've just come back from a trip."

Surprisingly, they were completely unharmed after being swept into the spatial wormhole.

Even after entering the secret realm where energy molecules cannot be absorbed, they did not encounter any insurmountable dangers.

Chu Jiaoyang also contracted a star beast from it that could attract Zhang Jianning's attention.

As for Xie Fengnan and Jiang Moran, it seemed like they hadn't gained anything, but Ye Jingtang glanced at his earring.

His intuition told him that Xie Fengnan hadn't just put it on because he liked it.

"It seems so, except that the boss almost didn't make it back."

Chu Jiaoyang felt that Ye Jingtang's summary was correct.

Xie Fengnan did not mention the subsequent trouble caused by the Vatican.

In his words, the landing point after leaving the secret realm was on the planet Daoyuan, and he was carrying a positioning system developed by the Xie family.

So Xie Xinghe used faster-than-light speed to bring them back in his warship, and that was it.
