It has come to the moment when the empire needed Marshal Qi Qing to go on an expedition.

His Majesty the Emperor quickly organized a temporary meeting. As a person involved, yet not a staff member, but a family member of the marshal, Ji Xingjue could not leave the palace for the time being.

Of course, he couldn’t go to the meeting either.

Ji Xingjue heaved a sigh helplessly. Seeing that Qi Qing was about to enter the conference hall, he teased, “Then I’ll be waiting outside for the Marshal to return from working overtime.”

Qi Qing raised his eyebrows and sneered, “The last time you said that, when I came back, you were hand in hand with that second prince.”

“What hand in hand?” Ji Xingjue thought about it with his head full of fog. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and leaned in and asked with a smile, “Marshal, are you a primary school student who blushes when someone holds your hand?”

Qi Qing: “…”

The Marshal refused to answer him, and threw something at him with a cold face before turning around and hurried into the conference hall.

Ji Xingjue looked down at it just to find that it was Qi Qing’s personal terminal device.

Although there was a signal shielding device nearby, personal terminals were not allowed to enter this kind of meeting, regardless of whether it was shielded or not.

The personal terminal only supported binding one person’s identity information, and after binding, only the terminal holder could operate it.

It would be a lie to say that he wasn’t curious, but he had no this kind of hobby to invade other people’s privacy casually.

Due to the deep suspicion of the Marshal, and in order to rebuild trust, Ji Xingjue didn’t go too far. He just strolled outside the council hall, admiring the gorgeous style of this palace that a commoner could never enter in his life.

When Qi Qing was on the front line, the Star pirates would just go straight ahead to create a crime and offend him. Mostly, they never made a successful move. Now that they finally managed to make a successful sneak attack, of course they wouldn’t keep a low profile and couldn’t wait to send a notice to promote in All Star Network.

And the spy from the Alliance wasn’t something that could be overlooked either, since the news had probably quickly reached a group of foreign envoys. Ji Xingjue wandered for a while, and then arrived at the conference hall where the foreign envoys from the Alliance entered.

A good while later, the envoys walked out of the hall again, and their faces were generally not good-looking.

Obviously, with Qi Qing inside, this group of people wouldn’t be very satisfied with the outcome.

Thinking of Qi Qing’s cold face while oppressing other people, the corners of Ji Xingjue’s lips curved indiscernibly, giving birth to a strange wonderful pride.

He placed the matter of this group of people behind his mind and planned to continue walking around. Unexpectedly, An Tang’s extremely keen eyes glanced at him, and after seeing him, he whispered a few words to the people around him, then walked over and greeted him friendly: “Is Professor Ji waiting for Marshal Qi here?”

Ji Xingjue politely and amicably nodded.

“I heard that Professor Ji is focusing on the direction of bionic intelligence,” An Tang didn’t care about his perfunctory, “The Alliance is also tackling this problem. I wonder if it’s an honor to invite Professor Ji to the Alliance as a guest and talk about it?”

Ji Xingjue replied with a rising tone of “Oh”.
