Reincarnation: Multi-skilled Goddess Is So Beautiful!

Chapter 411: Too Arrogant

When Zhang Hongliang brought Zi Yi to the control room, the group of technicians with a solemn expression on their faces was tapping on the keyboard.

Zhang Hongliang clapped his hand and said, "Everyone, stop."

All of them stopped their hands and looked towards him and Zi Yi.

Zhang Hongliang did not immediately tell them what to do. Instead, he turned to Zi Yi and asked, "Miss Zi, how do you intend to do this?"

"When I upgrade the system, I need you to adjust the various equipment inside the case. You can bring them all out to carry out the work."

"..."

Zhang Hongliang opened his mouth, but ended up nodding. "Okay."

He then angrily shouted at the group of technicians. "What are you still blanking out for, Everyone, follow me."

After a moment of silence, one of the bespectacled men finally recovered his senses. "No... Boss... If we leave, who would mend the loopholes caused by hackers?"

"Her."

Zhang Hongliang pointed at Zi Yi and deliberately said nothing.

The group of arrogant technicians turned their attention to Zi Yi as their gazes contained unfriendliness.

Following that, all of them laughed. Their laughter was mocking.

"Boss, what joke are you trying to crack? Do you think our security system is a plaything for a child? How could you randomly let a... hey, babe, how old are you?"

That person's tone of voice was not very polite.

Zi Yi coldly gazed at him and did not respond. She lowered her head and her hands quickly swiped across the tablet.

The group of technicians looked at her and were confused.

What was this beautiful lady doing?

Zhang Hongliang seemed to have guessed something and hastily stomped his foot. "She must be attacking your computers. Quickly block her!"

The group of technicians subconsciously turned to look at their computer screens.

It was already too late.

Special symbols appeared on their screens.

They quickly tapped on the keyboard, but the keyboard lost its functions.

One of them loudly shouted, "Cut off the terminal, quick!"

Another voice sounded. "It can't be cut off."

When the group of technicians was in a powerless situation, Zi Yi stopped and lifted her head to look at them as she asked, "Do you want to continue playing?"

The group of technicians felt that their abilities were challenged and were about to say yes.

Just then, the sound of Zhang Hongliang grinding his teeth could be heard. "I dare you to say yes!"

The technicians hastily swallowed the words that were about to come out of their mouths.

Zhang Hongliang looked towards Zi Yi.

She said, "Everyone, wear your communicators. I'll tell you what to do in detail shortly."

Zhang Hongliang nodded his head and shouted to the group, "Everyone, follow me!"

"Boss, what about here if we were all to leave?"

Zhang Hongliang said grumpily, "Can't you tell that she was the one who breached the system?"

The group of technicians: "...!"

As soon as everyone left the control room, Zi Yi randomly sat down in front of a computer and quickly tapped on the keyboard.

Strings of codes were typed out and the instructions were soon generated. She started to give instructions to the technicians.

...

Three hours later, Zi Yi typed the last string of code and said to the group outside, "It's done."

She then waited inside the control room.

Half an hour later, everyone returned from outside.

When the group of technicians returned to the room, the first thing they did was to return to their seats and do a quick check.

What followed after were their widened gazes and opened mouths.

Zi Yi then explained to them about the upgrade and what other functions the system had.

She then looked towards Zhang Hongliang and said, "The security system upgrade is complete. I'll be heading to do experiments. Don't disturb me if there's nothing important in the future."

Zhang Hongliang subconsciously asked, "What if a problem occurs in the security system you had upgraded, are we not allowed to look for you either?"

"Don't worry, the security system I upgraded would not have any problems."

She then left the control room.

Zhang Hongliang turned to look at Zi Yi who left and gnashed his teeth. "Too arrogant. Isn't she afraid of what she said coming back to bite her? If something were to happen, who would be responsible then?"

He was prepared to report this to the Second Young Master shortly. He could not afford to take responsibility if something really were to happen.

Thinking of this, he turned back to the technicians with the intention to get them to find out any loopholes, so that he could slap her in her face.

However, the group of technicians were tapping on their keyboards with expressions that were radiant with vigor. They also gave off an aura that seemed to say, 'They do not wish to be disturbed.'

Zhang Hongliang: "..."

This was his first time seeing such radiant expressions from the group of technicians. He was unable to control himself and spoke eccentrically, "Is the system upgrade that Zi Yi has done so great?"

"Definitely," one of the technicians replied without even lifting up his face. "Boss, if you have nothing for us to do, you can go out and play. Don't disturb us if there's nothing."

Zhang Hongliang: "..."

Was he too nice to these people that they aren't even afraid of him!

...

When Zi Yi returned to the lab, she first checked up on Lu Yunxiao's condition with Elder Hu.

While entering the data, Elder Hu said to her in excitement, "Even though there are no changes on the surface, the condition of his body is obviously getting better. In less than two days, the blood vessels protruding from his body will disappear."

Due to the brain blockage, the blood vessels on Lu Yunxiao's body had protruded and they were cyan I'm color.

Zi Yi responded and said, "We can add other chemicals to his nutrient solution tomorrow. After his body gets better, we can continue to increase the quantity."

"Yes, yes."

After they were done with the data, they headed towards the door together.

As soon as they walked out, they just so happened to see Ji Dekun walking over.

When Ji Dekun saw them, he asked, "Elder Hu, Miss Zi, how is the Third Young Master's condition?"

Elder Hu explained to him briefly.

Ji Dekun breathed out a sigh of relief and said to them, "Let's go, dinner has been prepared. Another manager, Lu Yi, will be returning today and you can meet him."

The two of them followed Ji Dekun to the dining area.

There were several canteens in the secret base and the canteen Zi Yi and Elder Lu went to was the place where the five managers ate.

As soon as the three of them made their way inside, the other three managers were already waiting inside.

Zhang Hongliang's expression changed several times at the sight of Zi Yi. In the end, he looked at her with an odd expression.

Wang Biao greeted them warmly. "Elder Lu, Miss Zi, come and sit down quickly. Old Lu returned to the dormitory to freshen up. He will come down shortly."

Tian Dongquan laughed at Zhang Hongliang's expression and jokingly said, "Old Zhang, why are you looking at Miss Zi with such an expression? Could it be that you're still mindful about the fact that Miss Zi breached the defense system?"

"There's nothing like that." Zhang Hongliang refuses to admit it with the gazes of several people on him.

He could not possibly tell them that he has still yet to accept the fact that Zi Yi overpowered his entire group of technicians.

The sound of footsteps came from the door and they saw a man with stiff facial features along with a straight posture walking in. At first glance, it was obvious that he was someone who did not like to talk

After he came in, he first nodded to the other four managers before he turned to Zi Yi and Elder Hu.

"Hello."

He then took a seat at the place reserved for him.

Chapter 412: It's Cold in the Base, Wear Your Clothes Properly

Ji Dekun was worried that they might be overly sensitive and specially explained. "Old Lu's personality is just like that. Elder Hu, Miss Zi, please don't take it to heart.

Elder Lu and Zi Yi naturally would not mind it.

When Lu Yi arrived, everyone sat down and ate.

After the meal, Zi Yi and Elder Hu made their way back to the lab again.

At night time, Zi Yi hacked into the satellite communication system and used a foreign account to send a video call to Lu Jingye.

Lu Jingye had unexpectedly guessed that it was her and immediately answered the call.

It was already 12 a.m at that time and Zi Yi looked at Lu Jingye wearing home clothes and sitting upright. She smiled and asked, "Ah Jing, are you going to sleep yet?"

"No."

Lu Jingye turned the camera lens around.

He was in his study room.

Lu Jingye shifted the camera back to his face and said, "There's a backlog of work to be done due to the trip and I have to finish it all in two days."

Zi Yi felt bad for him. "Don't stay up too late working."

"Ok."

Zi Yi told him about what she did that afternoon. "I upgraded the security defense system in the base this afternoon. Guess what I found?"

"What did you find?"

"Someone has planted a virus in the system and it is a type of deeply hidden virus."

Lu Jingye's expression sank when he heard her words. "Did you find out who planted the virus?"

"It's an expert among the worldwide hacker community. I'll send you their transaction information shortly. The person who contacted the hacker was very discrete. You're familiar with the people here, do take a look and see if you can find any clues according to their transaction records."

"Okay. Pay attention to your safety over there. If there is really a mole in the secret base, they will definitely find a way to deal with you."

"I know. I've already made adequate preparations here."

Lu Jingye was relieved to hear that.

After they finished talking about this, Zi Yi asked about Mrs. Lu's condition, "How's Auntie's mood today?"

Traces of worry flashed past Lu Jingye's eyes. "Mother isn't doing too well. She has trouble eating and sleeping."

He had brought his work home today so that he could accompany Mrs. Lu.

Zi Yi thought for a moment and said, "Go to my courtyard and pick a Blood Lotus, then mix it with..."

Zi Yi told him a method of preparing a type of tonic. In the end, she did not forget to say, "You and Uncle Lu can consume it too. It's mainly to soothe the nerves and replenish vigor."

"Alright." Lu Jingye nodded and said to her, "Go to bed, it's very late."

"You should sleep early too."

"Okay, I still have a small portion of work to settle. It'll take half an hour at most."

Zi Yi decided not to disturb him any longer.

The two of them ended the video call.

Early the next morning, Zi Yi walked out of the small building and was just about to go for a morning jog.

Not long after she started jogging, she saw someone coming towards her from in front of her.

When he saw Zi Yi, he came towards her.

"Miss Zi." Lu Yi called out and said nothing else.

Zi Yi stopped and looked at him as she asked, "I heard that you're responsible for purchasing equipment?"

"Yes." Lu Yi nodded.

Zi Yi casually asked, "Among the five of you, would you communicate with each other about your work?"

"We would for some of it."

Zi Yi nodded her head and continued her morning jog.

Zi Yi and Elder Lu ate breakfast at their place of residence today.

After breakfast, the two of them went to check on Lu Yunxiao. Together with them were Tian Dongquan and Lu Yi.

When they saw that the protruding blood vessels on Lu Yunxiao's body were slowly disappearing, Tian Dongquan was moved as he said, "Third Young Master looks better than he did yesterday. Elder Lu and Miss Zi are indeed good at what you do."

Lu Yi looked toward Lu Yunxiao and asked, "Will leader be able to regain consciousness very soon?"

Zi Yi glanced at Lu Yi and guessed that he was most likely Lu Yunxiao's subordinate and so, he had called him his leader. "Currently, Elder Lu and I are trying to nourish his body, and only after his body is restored to a stable condition would we be able to perform brain surgery."

"How long will it take?" Lu Yi's voice was slightly hoarse. He was clearly worried about Lu Yunxiao.

"At the quickest, we'll need to nourish his body for half a month."

Lu Yi was silent.

Tian Dongquan who was standing next to him patted him on the shoulder. "Old Lu, half a month passes by really quickly."

Lu Yi nodded and turned to Zi Yi. "Miss Zi, do you require anything else?"

"Not for the time being."

"Okay. Tell me if you need anything, I'll immediately go out and procure it for you."

"Ok."

After Zi Yi and Elder Lu finished checking up on Lu Yunxiao, the four of them left the room.

Zi Yi and Elder Lu headed for the lab while Lu Yi and Tian Dongquan went to do other things.

One day passed by very soon. Zi Yi did not get Little Loli to keep guard in the lab tonight and instead, she brought her away with her. She wanted to see if she could lure out the spy tonight.

The night ended and Little Loli reported to Zi Yi. "Master, no one entered your lab last night."

Zi Yi merely responded with an ok and she did not reveal any disappointment

In the following days, other than staying in the lab, Zi Yi would observe the five managers. She wanted to find flaws from their usual behavior and actions.

At the same time, she had Little Loli monitor the whole base and check through everyone here. However, nothing happened at all.

"That person is really patient!"

Zi Yi and Lu Jingye shared a video call at night and Zi Yi had a distressed expression. "I've used all sorts of methods but I didn't manage to draw the mole out. Say, do you think he has noticed something?"

Lu Jingye sat there and pondered for some time before he said, "That person has clearly decided to stay low and lurk around. I didn't clarify who you were when I brought you there. Your skills in the medical field and technology field must have made him afraid."

Zi Yi was lying on her stomach on the bed and she had the tablet propped against the head of the bed.

She rolled around in annoyance and messed up her hair. Not only did it not affect her beauty, instead, it gave off a sexy image and her loose pajamas had also slipped down her shoulders.

Lu Jingye reminded her. "It's cold inside the base, so wear your clothes properly."

Zi Yi casually arranged her top and continued to worry. "I will be leaving the day after tomorrow. If I don't personally fish out the mole, I will be very annoyed."

Lu Jingye lowered his eyes and thought for a while. "Since that person did not take action these days, he would definitely take action after you leave. At that time, we can still find out who he is."

"I'll be worried about your younger brother in that case." She had to find a way to test those people again before she leaves.

Zi Yi asked, "Are there any movements over there?"

"No."

Lu Jingye also found it weird. If they truly wanted to deal with the Lu Family, they should have immediately released the news after he had the accident.

After all, there was no lack of people who wished for the downfall of the Lu Family.

"That person will contact Rick again."

Lu Jingye was very sure of it. After all, Rick was determined to marry Aisha to him. The man in the dark had purposely found Rick instead of other people and they clearly had other purposes.

In fact, Zi Yi had also thought of this aspect. "When I return to the capital, I'll go meet with that woman named Aisha."

For those who dare to have designs on what's hers, they have to be prepared to suffer.

Chapter 413: Roasted Lamb

Lu Jingye did not want Zi Yi and Aisha to meet. He said, "Rick is overly protective of Aisha and also holds grudges. If you and Aisha were to meet, he would definitely think of a way to get back at you. Let me take care of both of them."

If he could not even resolve these two people, then how was he to protect his woman in the future?"

When Zi Yi heard what Lu Jingye said, she did not continue asking anymore. As to whether they would encounter each other in the future or not, it would depend if they appear before her and seek death.

...

Zi Yi would be returning tomorrow and when Elder Hu and her went to check up on Lu Yunxiao, she passed him a tablet. "Elder Hu, I will contact you every day to discuss Yunxiao's condition. You can directly press this if anything were to happen."

Elder Hu took the tablet and revealed a surprised expression. "Isn't it impossible to communicate with the outside inside the base? Would we be able to communicate with this?"

"Yes, it's possible." Zi Yi randomly made up a story. "Ah Jing specially got someone to custom make this and the tablet can only connect to my phone."

Elder Hu was still uneasy. "Would the situation inside get leaked out?"

"It won't, Ah Jing will monitor our communication every time."

Only then did Elder Hu relax.

Following that, Zi Yi brought Elder Hu to the lab.

Elder Hu would visit Zi Yi's lab every day to take a look and he would be shocked by what he saw every single time. Today was no exception. He wore his reading glasses and looked through the microscope for a while before he raised his head and said in surprise, "Little friend, the active cells are responding?"

"That's right. When the reaction is stronger, you can use it to experiment on the body."

"Okay."

The two of them stayed in the lab until noon before they went out to have lunch. After that, Zi Yi took her tablet and started to walk around the base.

She would always spend one hour every day walking around the base. At first, everyone was slightly wary of her, in particular, Ji Dekun. He had simply tagged along with the reasoning that he could make adjustments to any loopholes she finds.

Zi Yi did not mind it.

A few days later, Ji Dekun was even more impressed with her.

He would chat with Wang Biao and Tian Dongquan in private. "Say, Didn't you say that Zi Yi was brought over here by Second Young Master to treat Third Young Master? Why does Elder Hu appear so busy and yet, she seems to be doing nothing all day."

Even if it were the five of them, they did not know what kind of experiment she was doing.

They only knew that Elder Hu and her would enter the lab together every day.

"Do you think that it was by luck that she managed to cure the dark spots on Third Young Master's body?"

Zi Yi's skills in the computer field were already god-like and he did not believe that an eighteen year old young lady would be knowledgeable about so much.

Wang Biao joked and said, "Perhaps she's a descendant of a hidden expert."

He patted Ji Dekun on the shoulders and said, "Since Second Young Master told us to cooperate with her fully, and has given her such high authority, it proves that she's not a simple person."

Tian Dongquan agreed with Wang Biao. "In any case, Miss Zi is leaving tomorrow. It's useless even if you really suspect her. Don't tell me you still want to test her?"

Of course Ji Dekun would not try to test Zi Yi. "I'm not going to. It's alright if I manage to find something suspicious, but if nothing comes up, wouldn't the Second Young Master skin me alive if I cause trouble? It's just like what Old Wang said, she'll be leaving tomorrow."

Wang Biao and Tian Dongquan were silent.

So this person had talked for so long just so that he could complain?

Tian Dongquan stood up and walked around while he said, "Since Miss Zi is leaving tomorrow, we have to prepare a farewell dinner tonight. I'll go and see what we have available to eat. If there is anything good, we'll have hot pot tonight."

"Does Miss Zi eat spicy food? The spiciness of the hotpot we eat is so spicy. Why don't we go for a barbecue instead? It just so happens that we have a whole lamb we can barbecue tonight."

When Zi Yi heard that they were inviting her to eat barbecue lamb for tonight, she agreed enthusiastically.

Elder Hu saw her reaction and smiled. "Little Zi must have been tired of eating light food with me for the past few days. Sigh, youngsters don't know the concept of maintaining your health."

Zi Yi smiled, "There are many methods to maintain one's health and it's not necessarily through eating."

Elder Hu can't help but laugh.

Before Zi Yi headed to the barbecue location, she even went to the lab to do something first. Elder Hu asked what she was doing.

She said, "There are medicinal ingredients that can be used as a seasoning. I'll use some."

Elder Hu scolded her and said, "The medicinal ingredients here are so precious and rare. Be careful that Second Young Master Lu doesn't come looking for you when he knows of this."

"So be it. If he comes looking for me, I'll pay him back then."

Zi Yi giggled and thought of using herself as repayment.

By the time Zi Yi and Elder Hu went to the barbecue area, the five of them had already set up a barbecue grill to roast the whole lamb.

The entire dining hall was filled with the strong scene of lamb.

"Elder Hu, Miss Zi, come over and take a seat. I'll take at most ten minutes before you can get to eat."

Zi Yi handed one of the condiments she prepared to Wang Biao who was roasting the lamb. "Sprinkle this on the lamb. It'll make the meat tender and fresh."

Wang Biao took the small bottle Zi Yi had passed to him. He looked at it in curiosity and asked, "What seasoning is this?"

The other four were also curious about the small bottle in his hand.

"I used two medicinal ingredients to make this." She told them the names of the medicinal ingredients.

Wang Biao was so shocked that he nearly dropped the bottle. "Miss Zi, you actually used the medicinal ingredients that Second Young Master specially sought? What if there's not enough for the Third Young Master to use?"

"Why are you worried about that? I've cultivated some of these medicinal ingredients for the past few days and they will soon mature. At that time, there'll be many of these."

Zi Yi's expression and tone of voice sounded very casual. It made them feel that those medicinal ingredients were really that easy to cultivate.

However, they knew that the Second Young Master had spent a great deal of effort before he managed to get his hands on them, not to mention how rare these medicinal ingredients were!

Elder Hu saw that their expressions had changed several times and he smiled before he said, "What Little Zi said is true. These medicinal ingredients have already been cultivated."

The five of them: "..."

Since that was the case, Wang Biao sprinkled the seasoning on the lamb unsparingly.

The thick aroma instantly spread out and they subconsciously swallowed their saliva.

"It's so fragrant."

"This is the first time I've known that these medicinal ingredients can be used as a seasoning."

"It's a pity that we can't drink. Otherwise, how good it'll be if we could eat this delicious lamb together with some alcohol."

Drinking was strictly forbidden in the secret base.

Zi Yi heard what they said. "Isn't there home-brewed alcohol here? Even if you can't drink, you can always drink the water inside.

Zi Yi placed special emphasis on the word 'water'.

The five of them were momentarily stunned before Ji Dekun said, "Miss Zi must also be a drinker."

Zi Yi looked at him with bright eyes. "How did you know that?'

"Haha, the way you said about drinking the water of home-brewed alcohol had exposed your true nature."

"..."

The others could not help but laugh at that.

Chapter 414: Someone Trespassed Into the Base?

Just then, Wang Biao said to Zi Yi, "Miss Zi, if you're really fond of drinking, I do indeed have several jars of good alcohol at my place. I'll gift you a few jars after we're done eating and you can take them back to drink."

Zi Yi was a little surprised. "I thought the base did not allow drinking? How did you get the alcohol?"

"I picked up some wild fruits while I was patrolling in the mountains and used them to brew it."

When Wang Biao said that, Ji Dekun seated next to him could not help but expose his background. "In fact, Old Wang is an alcoholic. He only gave up drinking after he came to Second Young Master's bodyguard training camp. He has indeed given up drinking, but he developed a strange habit of smelling the scent of alcohol. If he does not smell it once a day, he would feel uncomfortable all over."

Zi Yi narrowed her eyes at his words and asked, "Then would you feel extremely uncomfortable if you were to encounter a situation where you're unable to smell the scent of alcohol?"

"I won't," Wang Biao said in certainty. "I'm someone who is capable of tolerating."

Zi Yi nodded her head and did not continue to ask.

However, a good idea surfaced in her mind.

The whole lamb was finally done while everyone was looking at it with expectant gazes. Zi Yi liked eating ribs, so Wang Biao gave her two large portions.

Tian Dongquan had also gone to bring over a jar of homemade brew.

The moment he opened the lid, the aroma floated out.

Everyone each had half a bowl and the rest went to Zi Yi.

"This also counts as alcohol and we can only drink a little. Miss Zi, you can have the rest."

Zi Yi did not act reserved with them. She felt that eating lamb had to be accompanied by alcohol, even though it was just a homemade brew.

Everyone casually chatted as they ate.

The few middle-aged men were curious about what Zi Yi does.

When she said that she was a freshman in M.Uni, they were all surprised.

"To think that Miss Zi is studying in M.Uni? Are you studying in the Medical School there? I heard that the Medical School in M.Uni is rather reputable." When Wang Biao asked that, the rest of them looked at her curiously.

Ji Dekun also made a suggestion. "Perhaps Miss Zi is studying Computer Science."

Zi Yi shook her head. "No, I'm majoring in Archaeology."

"What?"

"No way!"

They were all surprised. Even Elder Lu was no expectation. He thought that Zi Yi majored in medicine.

"Little Zi, why don't you study medicine? Your medical skills are great and you should develop in this field."

"Miss Zi's computer skills are also good, you can also try developing in this aspect."

They started discussing what Zi Yi should specialize in.

Zi Yi listened to their discussion as she ate the lamb and did not interrupt.

Soon, the whole roasted lamb entered seven people's stomachs.

Sure enough, it did not take long before Wang Biao sent over a few jars of homemade brew to Zi Yi.

She gave her thanks and happily hugged them as she carried them into her own room.

Everything was calm and silent.

Half an hour or so later, an alarm suddenly sounded throughout the base.

When she heard the alarm, Zi Yi wore a set of pajamas with deep pockets. Her phone was placed inside her pocket and she ran outside without even tying her hair.

As soon as she ran outside, the alarm sounds could be heard everywhere. Elder Hu, who stayed beside her, ran out while wearing a haphazardly thrown on outer garment. The moment he saw Zi Yi, he said to her anxiously, "Little Zi, let's head to the lab at once.'

Zi Yi nodded her head and the two of them ran in the same direction.

However, not long after they started running, a group of men ran over in their direction under Wang Biao's lead.

Wang Biao hastily walked over and said in a loud voice, "Elder Hu, Miss Zi, we're here to protect you."

Zi Yi asked, "Did something happen? Why did the alarms go off?"

Wang Biao said with a serious face, "Someone has trespassed into the base."

Elder Hu hastily asked, "How did they break into the secret base? Wasn't it said that the security level here is very tight?"

Wang Biao was also confused. No one had ever managed to break into the secret base!

The three of them continued to run towards the lab. After they ran for some time, Wang Biao's communicator suddenly rang. He stopped and listened to what was conveyed on the other end before he said to Zi Yi and Elder Hu, "We can't go there anymore."

"Why?"

Zi Yi and Elder Hu stopped running at the same time.

Wang Biao's voice sounded even deeper. "The intruder might have headed over there. It will be dangerous for you to go there."

Zi Yi and Elder Hu's expressions changed.

"Then what should we do? It'll be over if the intruder were to do something to Lu Yunxiao!"

"Don't worry." Wang Biao said, "People without the right level of authority are unable to enter the Third Young Master's ward, even if they were to forcibly try to break in. Moreover, the bed he is lying on is also special."

Elder Hu was still worried. "Then what about our lab? If the research were to be ruined, it'll be troublesome to do it again."

It takes time for them to cultivate everything.

Wang Biao's expression sank even further. He then said, "Return to your residences first. I'll go over to take a look."

Zi Yi and Elder Hu looked at each other.

Zi Yi said, "Elder Hu, why don't we go back? Otherwise, we will cause trouble for them instead."

Elder Hu knew his own strength no matter how anxious he was. He nodded his head and said, "Alright then."

The two of them stopped walking.

Wang Biao then led his men towards the direction of the lab.

Zi Yi and Elder Hu stood at the same place for some time. Elder Hu was clearly anxious. "What is all this that is going on? Isn't it said that the security system here is tighter than the National Security Agency? How can someone break in? What if something really happens?"

Zi Yi had also revealed an anxious look.

Just then, the phone in her hand vibrated.

She said to Elder Hu, "Let's return first. It's not safe here either. The most important thing for us to do now is to protect ourselves."

Elder Hu nodded and they walked back to where they stayed.

After entering her room, Zi Yi took out her phone and took a glance. She saw the video Little Loli sent to her.

There was a large group of people keeping guard outside the research lab.

Just then, Lu Yi, Zhang Hongliang, and Tian Dongquan arrived outside of Lu Yunxiao's ward while Tian Dongquan was outside the research lab.

Lu Yi and Zhang Hongliang opened the door with both their passcodes and quickly approached Lu Yunxiao's bed. They did a swift check on the medical equipment around him. After checking that nothing was touched, they breathed out a sigh of relief.

Following that, they stood in a protective stance on both sides of Lu Yunxiao's bed.

There were no signs of anything unusual on their faces.

Zi Yi observed them for quite some time before she shifted the screen to Tian Dongquan.

Tian Dongquan was also doing a quick check around the research lab and did not do anything to her research.

Wang Biao soon arrived and there was no problem with him either.

In the end, Zi Yi changed the screen to where the control room was.

Ji Dekun who was standing in the control room looked very agitated as he constantly asked the technicians, "Have you found the person who trespassed yet?"

The technicians all said, "We've yet to locate them."

He was even more irritable. "Why haven't you found the trespasser? Didn't our security system just get upgraded? Now, you can't even find the person who broke in!"

As soon as Ji Dekun said that, he seemed to have thought of something and his expression instantly turned livid. He took out his communication device and touched it. Immediately after, he heard outside in large strides.

Zi Yi knew that Ji Dekun was coming to look for her.

After all, the trespasser got in after she had upgraded the security system of the base.

Chapter 415: Lu Jingye Said, Yiyi is My Future Wife

When Ji Dekun led his group of men towards where she was, she sent Lu Jingye a video call.

Lu Jingye seemed to have been waiting for her call and he immediately asked upon answering, "Yiyi, how's the situation at your side?"

Zi Yi recounted what happened to him tonight. "I got Little Loli to create some chaos within the base..."

She then told him about the few manager's reaction and shrugged her shoulders in the end. "None of the five of them revealed any flaws or suspicious movements. Moreover, Ji Dekun should be coming over here with his men to arrest me so..."

When he heard what she said, he furrowed his eyebrows and said, "When he arrives later, point the camera at him. I'll take care of it."

Zi Yi responded with an okay.

While they were waiting for Ji Dekun, Lu Jingye told her about the situation in the capital. "The news of Yunxiao has been spread around the capital these past two days."

"Who spread the news?"

"The Jiang Family. That person had also heard of it at the airport. However, my men have already located the person who went abroad. He had taken money from someone and deliberately spread the rumors. As to whose money it was, he said that the person was wearing a mask and shades so he did not see his appearance."

"Ha! It's really well planned." Zi Yi released a sneer. "In fact, the person wearing the mask is easy to locate."

"Yes, my men have already locked onto the target, but they will not immediately take action to take him in. Yunxiao has to appear in the capital the day after tomorrow. I will use his identity to take care of these people when the time comes. It just so happens that we can identify who are the ones who want to deal with the Lu Family."

Zi Yi agreed with him and asked, "What about your grandfather's reaction?"

"There was no reaction for him. Since he said he would wait one week, he will definitely wait until then."

Zi Yi was relieved.

They chatted a while more and the sound of footsteps could be heard from outside the door.

Immediately after, her door was knocked on.

At the same time, Ji Dekun's unfriendly roar sounded. "Zi Yi, open the door."

Zi Yi pursed her lips and Lu Jingye's faint voice sounded from the video call. "Yiyi, go and open the door."

She walked over and opened the door and hastily took a step back. At the same time, she directed the screen of her phone to Ji Dekun.

"Zi Yi, the intruder in the base must be in cahoots with you. No problem has ever occurred in the base, but ever since you... ugh... Second Young Master?"

"Ji Dekun."

Lu Jingye's voice sounded very gentle, but it had inexplicably contained traces of sternness.

Ji Dekun's body subconsciously trembled. "Yes!"

The group of men behind Ji Dekun had also subconsciously stood upright.

Lu Jingye asked, "What is it that you wish to say?"

Ji Dekun opened his mouth, but his mind had blanked out for several seconds.

Lu Jingye saw his expression and said, "Yiyi is my future wife and Yunxiao is her brother-in-law, why would she want to harm him?"

"Huh?" Ji Dekun felt that there was something wrong with his ears. What had he just heard?"

Lu Jingye's voice instantly turned solemn. "Do I need to repeat myself again?"

"No need, no need." Ji Dekun suddenly felt that he had understood everything. His heart was rolling around thunderously and he hastily tried to explain himself. "Second Young Master, no intruders have been able to trespass into the base and because Miss Zi had recently upgraded the defense of the security system, I had then thought of her."

Lu Jingye responded with a hum. Ji Dekun knew that the Second Young Master was not blaming him and relaxed. He was just about to speak again when Lu Jingye said, "There's no intruder. I was the one who got a robot to test the safety inside the base."

"Ah?"

Ji Dekun was dumbfounded.

Lu Jingye said, "You can leave. Get the others to wait for me in the meeting room. I will explain to all of you clearly."

"Oh okay."

Ji Dekun turned with the intention to leave.

"Hold on." Lu Jingye called out to him.

Ji Dekun turned back and looked at the screen.

"In the future, if something were to happen, you can report to me first. Yiyi is a female and how is it appropriate for a group of men to break into her room?"

Feelings of embarrassment surged forth from deep within and Ji Dekun hastily said, "Second Young Master, I was too rash."

He even apologized to Zi Yi immediately after. "Miss Zi, I'm sorry. Please continue to rest."

After he said his piece, he led away his group of people and left soon after.

Zi Yi directed the screen back to herself and said, "I've not managed to detect anything problematic with these people through the test."

Speaking of this, she revealed a frown. "There must definitely be a mole inside the base. Otherwise, no one would have known of Yunxiao's condition. However, this mole is hidden extremely deep. There's another possibility, which is that the mole had left the base before we arrived."

Lu Jingye furrowed his eyebrows even tighter before he said, "I will get someone to continue investigating this matter... It's getting late, you should go to sleep soon. I'll have my men drive you to the airport tomorrow."

Since she had said that she was enjoying herself abroad, she would definitely have to return from the airport.

Zi Yi had installed the most advanced surveillance system in the research lab. Moreover, she had also placed something on Lu Yunxiao's bed. As long as someone dared to do harm to him, that device would immediately protect him.

She was not worried about his safety and responded with an okay. The two of them then ended their video call.

The moment Ji Dekun walked out, he immediately contacted the others who were standing guard in the research lab. "Second Young Master wants us to immediately head to the meeting room. There's no intruder, the Second Young Master was the one who sent a robot to test the safety system in the base."

The other managers breathed a sigh of relief at his words.

As to what Lu Jingye had said to them after, it was none of Zi Yi's business.

Early the next morning, just as Zi Yi walked out of her room, she saw the five managers standing outside.

She stopped in her tracks and looked at them with a puzzled expression.

Ji Dekun was the first to speak. "Miss Zi, I'm really sorry for what happened last night. I was too rash and I would like to sincerely apologize to you once again."

Zi Yi said, "I accept your apology."

Ji Dekun who still had something to say found himself not knowing what else he should say.

Wang Biao smiled and said, "What happened yesterday was that the Second Young Master had sent a robot to test the safety system of our base along with our response abilities. The security system you have upgraded is very good. Even though the entire base was in action, and the alarm had resounded throughout every corner of the base, the outside world had not noticed a single thing."

The others were also satisfied with the upgraded security system.

Zi Yi nodded her head.

Ji Dekun said, "Let's go, we're here to pick you up for breakfast. After that, I will send you out. The Second Young Master will send someone to meet us halfway."

Thus, Zi Yi followed them to the canteen.

Elder Hu was already seated and waiting there.

He had not managed to sleep well the entire night due to the emergency yesterday. He had woken up before dawn and heard what had happened yesterday. Only then did he go out to do some light morning exercises before he came to the canteen.

"Little Zi, you're here."

"Elder Hu."

Two tables were placed together and they sat down. Other than Lu Yi who was a man of little words, the other four treated her more enthusiastically.

Clearly, when Lu Jingye said that she was his future wife last night, it was very useful.

Zi Yi was at ease knowing that they weren't the moles.

After breakfast, Elder Hu and Zi Yi went to the laboratory for a routine inspection of Lu Yunxiao's condition. Following that, they stayed in the lab for some time before Zi Yi left

Of course, Little Loli left with her.

Ji Dekun who was in charge of driving would occasionally glance at Little Loli and in the end, he could not help himself but say, "This robot looks too realistic. Just that its appearance is too young."

"Hehe." Little Loli felt that Ji Dekun was praising her and said proudly, "I'm not young. I'm Little Loli!"

Ji Dekun laughed out loud and said to Zi Yi, "In fact, I really didn't expect that the Little Loli the Second Young Master brought here is so capable. The incident last night honestly frightened us."

Zi Yi tilted her head to look at Little Loli as she smiled without speaking a word.

Chapter 416: Sure Enough, the Thought Process of Geniuses is Beyond My Comprehension

When the car was halfway down the road, there was another car waiting on the other side.

As soon as their car reached the destination, a man in a suit alighted from the other car and came over to greet Zi Yi. "Miss Zi, the Second Young Master has instructed me to take you back."

Zi Yi nodded her head and said to Little Loli, "Take out the luggage and alcohol in the trunk."

"Okay!"

Little Loli and the bodyguard went to get her suitcase and alcohol. Ji Dekun called out to Zi Yi and looked like he had something to say.

Zi Yi saw how he was acting and said, "You can speak your mind."

"Then I'll go ahead and say it." Ji Dekun touched his head before he said, "You're very skilled in both the computer and medical field... In fact, I personally feel that you can choose either of these fields for your major. It's really a waste to study Archaeology."

"How do you know if it's a waste? I feel that the major is pretty good. It can allow me to better understand China and even the ancient culture worldwide."

Ji Dekun: "..."

A genius in the field of computers and medicine had unexpectedly thought of learning about ancient culture? He could not understand her thought process.

Zi Yi knew of Ji Dekun's thoughts and so she explained and said, "My skills in the computer and medical field have far surpassed everyone. I don't need to waste time on subjects I already know. What's wrong with learning someone I like instead?"

Ji Dekun: "..."

He had seen confident people before, but not someone as confident as Zi Yi.

However, he merely said it in passing. Since Zi Yi had already explained herself, he did not continue to persuade her.

At this moment, Little Loli and the bodyguard had already put her belongings in the other car's trunk.

Zi Yi said, "Then I'll be leaving."

She headed for the other car after saying that.

Ji Dekun looked at the departing car and lamented. "Sure enough, the thought process of geniuses is beyond my comprehension."

...

When Zi Yi walked out from the airport's VIP route, there were many people who could not help but look in her direction.

There just so happened to be someone who knew who she was. The moment they saw her, they immediately took out their phone and snapped a photo of her to upload on their social media.

[Guess who I encountered? It's Zi Yi!]

In less than half an hour, the news of Zi Yi returning from abroad had spread throughout the entire high-society of the capital.

Zi Yi first returned to her villa.

She has not been home for half a month but the housekeeper had kept her courtyard clean and orderly.

The housekeeper stood in the courtyard and welcomed her with a smile. "Miss Zi, welcome home."

The corner of her lips curled up and she said, "Long time no see."

"Miss Zi, long time no see."

After the housekeeper greeted her, he walked over and helped Little Loli carry the two jars of alcohol. Thus, one man and one robot headed towards the backyard together.

While walking, the housekeeper informed her about the situation in the house during her absence.

"Miss Zi's blood lotuses are growing well, but the blooming phase has already passed. I have dried the remaining blood lotuses as per your instructions.

The robots would also come and maintain the racing cars in the courtyard every two days.

Also, the quilts in your room are all changed today."

The housekeeper informed her about these small matters along the way. When they entered the living room, Zi Yi asked, "Did Ah Jing stay here at all during this period of time I was away?"

"Second Young Master has come here once." The housekeeper smiled and said, "He had directly made his way here."

Zi Yi could not control the smile creeping on her lips.

The housekeeper stored the alcohol in the cellar while Little Loli helped her bring her luggage upstairs.

Zi Yi took her phone and walked over to the sofa as she sent Mrs. Lu a video call.

Mrs. Lu was bored and feeling depressed these days at home. The moment she heard that Zi Yi had returned, she said, "I'll come over and look for you shortly."

Without a doubt, Zi Yi definitely would not object to her visits.

Mrs. Lu arrived at her villa very soon.

The moment she saw Zi Yi, the depression accumulated over the past few days had finally dissipated ever so slightly.

In particular, Zi Yi had sweetly called out to her. "Auntie Lu."

Mrs. Lu nearly burst into tears. She walked over to Zi Yi in large strides and tightly held onto her hand as she asked, "Little Zi, how is Yunxiao doing?"

After she asked that, the strong front she had put on in front of her husband and son had finally collapsed as tears burst out.

Zi Yi did not expect that Mrs. Lu would cry. She hastily grabbed some tissues and passed them to her. "Auntie Lu, don't cry anymore. I'll let you look at how Yunxiao looks now."

After she said that, she took out her phone under Mrs. Lu's expectant gaze. She quickly swiped around and directly connected to Lu Yunxiao's ward.

Mrs. Lu wiped her tears and said as she looked at her youngest son whose body was covered all over with tubes, "He seems to be in a better condition compared to the previous time Jingye showed me."

"That's right. We have opened up the blood circulatory system in his body and right now, and as long as we manage to cultivate the active cells, we can operate on him. He'll be able to regain consciousness very soon."

Mrs. Lu stared at her son for quite some time before she choked back her tears and said, "It's really great."

She wiped the tears trickling down from her eyes.

Zi Yi then told her about the physical condition of Lu Yunxiao.

The more she listened, the greater her hopes were. In the end, she stretched out her hand and held Zi Yi's. "Little Zi, you are the lucky star of our family."

The corner of Zi Yi's lips curled up.

Mrs. Lu also could not help but reveal a smile.

She looked at her youngest son in the video and said, "I've already chosen the date for your wedding with Jingye. January 1st of next year is a good date. I'll discuss with Jianlin for you and Jingye to hold a wedding at that time."

Zi Yi nodded without the slightest feeling of shame.

Mrs. Lu looked at Zi Yi and thought of Patriarch Lu's stubbornness along with Aisha who was staying at the main residence. She suddenly had a bold idea.

Mrs. Lu stayed here all afternoon and the smile on her face had also returned.

Lu Jianlin saw the photos the housekeeper had sent to Lu Jingye and his solemn expression finally eased slightly. "Your mother has been feeling down these days and it's good to have someone around that can bring up her mood again."

Speaking of this, he looked towards Lu Jingye standing next to him. "Are all the preparations ready?"

Lu Jingye knew what he was asking and said, "It has already been prepared."

Lu Jianlin had confidence in the way Lu Jingye did things and he said, "When Yunxiao returns tomorrow, return to the main residence first. I will head there in advance when the time comes."

"Alright."

Mrs. Lu ate dinner at Zi Yi's place before she reluctantly left.

As soon as Mrs. Lu left, Zi Yi received Lu Jingye's call.

He said over the phone, "Yiyi, come to the bar."

"Alright."

She went to her bedroom to change her clothes before she drove her racing car to the bar.

When her racing car ostentatiously parked outside the bar, it had immediately attracted the attention of the whole street.

"Isn't that Zi Yi? She actually drove her flying car again."

"This woman went abroad for half a month and even when she's back, she's still so ostentatious. Isn't she afraid of attracting attention from people that might harbor bad intentions?"

"Eh, quick! Look over there. There's another car that parked behind that attention-grabbing car of hers. Why is that license plate number so familiar?"

"What the f*ck?! Isn't that the Lu Family's Second Young Master's car?"

"It's really Second Young Master Lu!"

"It's no wonder Zi Yi dared to be so arrogant the moment she returned!"

"If not for the fact that advance booking needs to be made to enter her bar, even I would like to go in and see the two of them."

Chapter 417: Zi Yi and Lu Jingye Dancing

When Zi Yi and Lu Jingye entered the bar together, those who saw them would inform others who had not. At the end of all the whispering, everyone who was originally enjoying themselves had suddenly stopped what they were doing and turned to look over in their direction.

Zi Yi and Lu Jingye did not even bother to look at other people.

The deafening music suddenly changed into a soothing, romantic music genre.

Zi Yi said to Lu Jingye, "Ah Jing, I want to drink."

Obviously, Lu Jingye would not have any objections.

The two of them headed to a two-seater seat and sat down.

The manager robot walked over and asked, "Master, Mr. Lu, what can I get for you?"

Zi Yi said to him, "Mix two cocktails for us."

As soon as Zi Yi said that, the bartending robot received the instruction, as it started preparing two cocktails.

Zi Yi leaned back on the chair and asked the manager robot, "During this half a month when I was absent, did anyone come looking for trouble?"

The manager robot responded, "No, those who came looking for trouble were all thrown out of the premises by us."

Zi Yi was satisfied with his response. "Good job."

Everyone present: "..."

One of the servicing robots had soon delivered their cocktails.

Zi Yi's drink had a slight pink hue gradient with the color of lemon. It looked very beautiful.

The color of Lu Jingye's cocktail was more monotonous, similar to a cup of plain water.

However, those who had drunk that type of cocktail were all surprised. The reason being, it was the strongest drink in the bar.

Zi Yi had actually ordered the strongest alcohol for Second Brother!

What ulterior motives does she have in mind?!

"Ah Jing, why aren't you drinking?" Zi Yi revealed a charming smile. "We've not seen each other for several days, you should drink more tonight. If you are not able to go back on your own, I have beds available here."

Everyone present: "..."

Can this woman be any more shameless?

Even though they knew Second Brother fancied Zi Yi, the women were still extremely jealous and could not swallow it down.

Zi Yi was trying to get their immortal-like Second Brother drunk, and she even wanted to sleep on a bed with him!

Just then, a woman wearing a black suspender skirt with tiny rhinestones walked over in her high heels.

"Zi Yi."

Yang Manman purposely avoided looking at Lu Jingye who was seated next to Zi Yi and immediately questioned Zi Yi, "Zi Yi, long time no see. If I remember it correctly, this should be your bar, why haven't I seen you dancing before? I heard that you're good, so I believe you should be rather skilled at dancing?"

As soon as she said that, Yang Manman sized up Zi Yi who was wearing an oversized light purple T-shirt and three-quarter length jeans, an outfit which had basically covered up her figure. She deliberately flipped her large wavy curls behind her shoulders and revealed her deep cleavage.

Zi Yi coldly looked up at her and asked instead of answering, "What does it have to do with you if I can dance or not?"

She swirled her glass with one hand while the other hand of hers gestured for Yang Manman to come closer.

Yang Manman deliberately leant her body towards her and the expanse of her chest was without a doubt, exposed.

Zi Yi leaned forward and said in her ears, "Stop showing off your bad figure here, do you not know the meaning of bringing disgrace to yourself?"

"You–"

"You're wearing chest pads and I honestly wonder where you have found the courage to expose yourself and show off before me."

She even pressed her chest in a rogue-like manner.

"AH-!"

Yang Manman bounced back and subconsciously hugged her chest as she moved a step back. The next second, her cheeks were flushed with anger and she screamed, "Y-you-you... you rogue!"

"Rogue? You're a woman so why would I want to take advantage of you?"

Zi Yi took a sip of her cocktail and her eyes revealed disdain. The pink colored cocktail had tinted her beautiful lips and coupled with that smirk on her lips, it was so seductive that everyone's heartbeats sped up.

Yet, a sharp and chilling gaze swept across them.

Everyone came back to their senses and hastily looked away.

Zi Yi was about to take another sip when a hand stretched out from the side and took away her glass before she could react.

Zi Yi tilted her head and looked over.

Lu Jingye had a serious expression on his face. "You're drunk."

Zi Yi: "..."

Everyone present: "..."

After several seconds of silence, she suddenly curled her lips at him and stood up. While everyone's widened eyes were on her, her long legs took a step forward and she sat on his lap, while putting her arms around his shoulders. She then said to Yang Manman, "Have a good look, I only take advantage of my man."

Having said that, her tender lips moved forward.

"Sii-"

"AH-!"

While the crowd was gasping, a large palm covered both their faces, which had basically blocked everyone's view.

Just as everyone felt their hearts exploding from the scene in front of them, Lu Jingye let go of her and moved her to the seat next to him before he said in all seriousness, "You're not to fool around!"

Zi Yi smiled at him and stood up while pulling him along with her. She then purposely said, "I'm drunk and it's normal for drunk people to do something out of line... I feel like dancing now, accompany me?"

She pulled him towards the dance floor.

Lu Jingye was wearing a suit jacket, suit pants, and white formal T-shirt underneath, giving off a strict and noble aura. At first glance, he did not look to be someone who would dance at such places.

Everyone looked on helplessly as they saw Zi Yi pull Lu Jingye onto the dance floor.

Those who were mingling around the dance floor had subconsciously given way to them.

When Zi Yi and Lu Jingye were standing in the middle of the dance floor, Zi Yi wanted to tie a knot on the side of her oversized T-shirt. However, Lu Jingye stopped her.

"Dance just like that."

Zi Yi was somewhat unwilling. "It's kind of bothersome to dance like this."

"It doesn't matter."

They looked at each other for two seconds before Zi Yi gave up. "Alright then."

She asked, "Ah Jing, what kind of dance do you prefer?"

"Waltz."

Zi Yi snapped her finger at the DJ.

To everyone's knowledge, the waltz was an essential type of dance for the high-society balls. One should wear formal clothes, so that it'll look nice when they dance.

As for the two of them standing in the middle of the dance floor... One of them was wearing an oversized T-shirt, jeans, and closed toe flat shoes, while the other wore a business suit. No matter how they looked at it, their attire did not seem to match.

However, when both of them started dancing, everyone was stunned.

A waltz mainly revolves around rotating. Through the moving of one's knees, ankles, soles, heels, palms, and toes, combined with the lifting, tilting, and swinging of one's body, it would allow the dancer to move their body around and showcase their dancing in a different intensity.

Zi Yi whirled around and started dancing, while holding onto Lu Jingye's hand. Her dancing posture was elegant and beautiful while her wide T-shirt moved with the flow. There was not the slightest sense of abruptness. Instead, it appeared so amazing that the spectators were unable to shift their gazes away.

When the song ended, Lu Jingye held onto Zi Yi's hand and headed towards the control room.

The spectators could only look on helplessly as they left and grumbled deep down: "Can't you dance for one more tune..."

After they disappeared from everyone's line of sight, the crowd exploded.

"What the f*ck?! The way Second Brother and Zi Yi danced to the waltz is so amazing!"

"This is my first time seeing Second Brother dancing. It's so sensual, gentlemanly, elegant, and noble."

"I feel that Zi Yi looks like a queen when she dances. How I wish I was the one dancing with her."

Some of them excitedly talked about their dancing, while another group of people sent videos that they managed to capture earlier to their circle of friends.

Soon, the entire young masters and young ladies of the high-society had seen the scene of them in the bar dancing.

Chapter 418: In the Future, Let Me Be the One Who Does Such a Declaration Instead

Lu Family's main residence.

Chu Xiang, who had been residing in the main residence during this period of time, saw the video shared from her circle of friends and showed it to Aisha.

When Aisha saw the video of Zi Yi and Lu Jingye dancing together, she bit her lips while her hand tightly gripped onto her clothes. Her appearance looked as if she had been wronged

Chu Xiang looked at her and said, "This is Zi Yi, she must have done this deliberately. Just because you major in dance, she decided to show off for you to see."

Aisha covered her face and burst into tears at her words.

"How could they do this?!"

Chu Xiang looked at Aisha and sneered as she thought to herself, "A princess living in her own fairytale. I merely stimulated you slightly and you are already unable to take it. Yet you're still thinking of marrying Second Brother? Why don't you reflect on yourself to see if you are deserving?" On the surface, she comforted her in a friendly tone.

"Don't be too upset. If you can't take it lying down, you can go and teach her what dancing is. You're a dancing genius and you can easily embarrass her in this aspect."

"Ugh..." Aisha looked at her with tears staining her cheeks. Her eyes revealed hope, but several seconds later, her gaze dimmed. "I can't. My brother won't allow me to go to a bar."

"I'm not telling you to go to the bar. Zi Yi is a student of M.Uni. You can go there and look for her."

Aisha was still hesitating. "This isn't good. If grandfather knew I did that, he would get angry. How could members of the Alysseus Family do such a shameful thing that's beneath their status?"

"I'm not telling you to directly confront her." Chu Xiang had already planned everything out for her. "It just so happens that our school's dance club is looking for a dance teacher. With your reputation, you can definitely get hired. When the time comes, you'll be able to use your identity as a dance teacher to exchange pointers with her."

At that time, her brother would have the opportunity to get in contact with Aisha.

At the thought of this, the corner of her lips curled up.

Aisha's eyes brightened and she lowered her eyes as she started to think about it.

Just then, the sound of footsteps came from the door.

Chu Xiang did not like the sharpness Rick had concealed within his eyes when he looked at others and so, she said to Aisha, "Aisha, I still have lessons tomorrow and I have to go back. You should rest early."

She left after saying that.

Chu Xiang and Rick bumped into each other at the door.

She merely nodded her head slightly and took her leave.

Rick tilted his head and after seeing that she had walked far away, he said to Aisha, "You've seen it yourself, she clearly has other motives."

Aisha pursed her lips and remained silent.

Rick asked as he could not understand it, "This woman obviously has ulterior motives so why aren't you distancing yourself from her? Such people don't deserve to be friends with you."

Aisha pursed her lips and remained silent

Rick was a little irritated. "As long as you give grandfather a call and get him to talk to Patriarch Lu, there's no need to worry that Ah Lu won't marry you!"

Aisha looked at Rick. A few seconds later, she said, "What I want is his heart and not a marriage only in name."

"You-"

Rick wanted to scold her, but he could not bear to do so. In the end, he sighed and said, "You better not regret your decision."

"I won't regret it."

Aisha said that and came to a decision.

"Brother, I wish to be a dance teacher in M.Uni."

Rick furrowed his eyebrows, but ended up agreeing to her request. "I will help you settle this, but I have a condition."

"What's the condition?"

"You have to bring along the secret guards."

"No..."

"If you don't agree, then don't think of going."

"Alright then..."

...

After Zi Yi and Lu Jingye entered the control room, Zi Yi revealed a sly smile.

"Say, would those people outside feel provoked?"

Lu Jingye lifted his hand and pressed her head. "Naughty."

Zi Yi directly jumped into his embrace, hugged his waist, and leaned her head against his chest as she said, "I'm only declaring to them what's mine. Some people have no self-awareness, so I'll have to be the one teaching the meaning of that."

Lu Jingye looked down at the young lady in his embrace who was being willful. He hugged her back in response tightly and said, "In the future, let me be the one who does such a declaration instead."

Zi Yi looked up at him and her eyes curved into crescent moons.

Her smile was like a blossoming flower.

Lu Jingye looked at her smile and could not help himself as he lowered his head and sealed her lips.

The two of them kissed for quite some time before they finally separated.

Lu Jingye led Zi Yi to sit down.

Zi Yi pressed one of the buttons and said, "Little Loli, bring him inside."

Soon, Little Loli entered with a robot by her side.

The biggest difference between this robot and other robots was that it had a synthetic skin covering all over its body. It was practically impossible to discover that he was a robot.

Zi Yi said to Lu Jingye, "This is the robot I prepared for you."

She then peeled off the skin on that robot and revealed another layer of skin. It was a face that was identical to Lu Jingye's.

Even though he had known of it beforehand, Lu Jingye was still surprised when he saw the robot who looked identical to him.

Zi Yi smiled and asked, "Is it that even you are unable to notice any differences?"

"Yes." Lu Jingye stood up and walked over to stand before the robot. He checked the robot out before he turned around and looked at Zi Yi.

Zi Yi followed him and walked over. "Place your hand on his back. He'll be able to copy your memories. I've given him a two-month limit. Two months later, Yunxiao would have also regained consciousness. When the time comes, we'll have no need for him."

"Would there be any future troubles with regards to these types of robots? Would you be able to recognize who is the real one?"

Lu Jingye felt slightly uncomfortable when he thought of the fact that a robot, who looked identical to him, would meet his young lady during the day.

"There won't be any problems."

Zi Yi smiled and pulled his hand. "I'm very sensitive to robots. No matter how similar the both of you are, the robot won't be able to escape my detection."

In the future interstellar era, everyone was mechanized and Zi Yi was a genius in the field. As long as the other party was a robot, she would be able to detect it immediately.

"However, other people will treat him as the real one."

She raised her hand and touched Lu Jingye. After she finished taking advantage of him, she said, "Stretch out your hand and touch him."

Lu Jingye pursed his lips and looked at Zi Yi's shining eyes.

When Zi Yi saw that he remained motionless, she simply raised his hand and touched the robot's hand.

A cold sensation could be felt.

Lu Jingye looked at her in surprise.

"I've set up a program on him. If Uncle Lu and Auntie Lu were to touch him, he would radiate a cool temperature. However, when other people were to touch him, it would be the temperature of a healthy person. Moreover, I've installed a system for storing blood within. If someone comes over to test you, there's no need to be afraid. In addition, he has also copied your behavior and habits, so each and every movement of his would be identical to you."

Speaking of this, she complained. "If not for the fact that we are trying to prevent your grandfather from detecting any problems, I honestly want the robot to disguise as Yunxiao instead."

Lu Jingye was the only one who was familiar and knew all of Lu Yunxiao's habits. Robots were unable to achieve 100% similarity in terms of behavior and habits without copying from another individual.

It would be easy to fool others, but it might not be possible to get past Patriarch Lu.

Lu Jingye grabbed her hand tightly and said, "I'll disguise as Yunxiao for about ten days at most. My father will then find an excuse to make me go on a mission."

Chapter 419: Little Yi, Which One is My Eldest Son?!

Zi Yi was satisfied with that, but she still said, "After I manage to create another material I need, I can even use human genes to make a robot replicate. At that time, you won't have to disguise yourself as your brother anymore."

Speaking up to here, she sighed. "Little Loli's batch is the crudest."

Little Loli was unhappy to hear that. "Master is biased, and didn't give me such good components."

Zi Yi glanced at her. "Head over to my energy company and help me develop the next batch of materials as soon as possible. The earlier you manage to develop it, the earlier I'll change your components."

Little Loli pouted. "I don't wanna go. I don't want to see A."

Zi Yi was surprised at that. "Don't you like him? Why don't you want to see him anymore?"

Everything was alright when Zi Yi had not asked. However, the moment she asked that question, Little Loli suddenly started to bawl her eyes out.

"A doesn't contact me anymore these days. He's a big baddie. Wuuu..."

The corner of her lips twitched and Zi Yi subconsciously asked, "What did you do to him again? The previous time, you sent him spam videos, what about now?"

Unexpectedly, Little Loli started to squirm.

"Actually... To be honest it's nothing much... I just said that I wish to marry him, but he actually said that there were no laws in the capital that states that robots can get married. I got angry and scolded him and so, he felt that I was disturbing his work and dragged me into his blacklist."

"...Pft-"

Zi Yi originally did not want to laugh, but she could not hold herself back.

"...Pft-"

Little Loli pouted. "Master, why don't you install an emotional system for A too?"

"Because you're robots. There cannot be large quantities of robots with a human emotional system installed."

"Why's that so?"

"Because it would cause confusion in human society."

Even though humans and robots could be together in the interstellar era, it was because science and technology were well-developed in that era. Their main goal was to explore the unknown territory in space, not like the current era she was in, where everything was about interests and schemes. If a human emotional system were to be installed in all of them, they would definitely be made use of by other people.

Moreover, since she was now living in this era, Zi Yi had no intentions of conquering Earth.

Why would she want to add such a workload for herself?

Zi Yi saw Little Loli was pouting even harder and said, "A will at least be staying there until the end of the year. If you really like him, when the time comes, I can install a human emotional system on him."

Little Loli's eyes brightened and she nodded her head. "Yes. Okay!"

"Don't be too happy." Zi Yi brought her to her senses. "I can't guarantee that he will like you after the system is installed."

"It's alright! I'm so adorable and as long as Master installs the emotional system for A, I will ultimately be able to capture him!"

Zi Yi looked at the Little Loli who was grinning foolishly.

Just then, Lu Jingye asked, "Are robots with the emotional system installed, all like this?"

Zi Yi hastily tried to explain. "Absolutely not. In the beginning, I accidentally downloaded X number of dramas for her and she had learned everything from there. In the end, she was the one who liked acting like a green tea b*tch."

"You can see the robot who is a replica of you that I had made, He's not like that at all."

Lu Jingye looked at the robot who looked exactly like him and imagined if the robot who had his appearance had a personality similar to that of Little Loli.

"..."

Lu Jingye felt uncomfortable all over.

"Hehe..."

Little Loli continued grinning.

Just then, the robot Lu Jingye looked at her in all seriousness. "Is it very funny?"

That expression of his, was really a vivid imitation.

Only then was Lu Jingye satisfied and he nodded in satisfaction.

At 9 p.m in the evening, Zi Yi and the robot Lu Jingye left the bar through the main entrance, while Lu Jingye left from the back door.

Early the next morning, Zi Yi received a video call from Mrs. Lu.

She was obviously shocked out of her wits. She moved the camera to her two sons standing in front of her and asked, "Little Yi, which one is my eldest son?!"

Lu Jingye had yet to pretend to be Lu Yunxiao and both of them were warmly smiling at her.

Zi Yi's lips curled up and she deliberately said, "Auntie Lu, make a guess."

Mrs. Lu raised her hand and touched one of their faces. The moment her hand came into contact with his face, she took her hand away and pointed at him. "This isn't Lu Jingye, his face is cold."

Zi Yi said, "I set up a setting. When you, Uncle, and Ah Jing touch the robot, he would be void of any human temperature. However, he would radiate a normal human temperature if others were to touch him."

Mrs. Lu widened her eyes in shock. "So it turns out that there are such advanced robots!"

"That's right." Zi Yi said, "At that time, even Ah Jing's grandfather won't be able to make out any flaws."

Just then, Lu Jingye had already changed his expression and it turned chilly.

Mrs. Lu cried out and subconsciously called, "Yunxiao."

Only then did she react. She was surprised once again. "Jingye, how are you able to imitate your brother so well?"

Lu Jingye's voice was also slightly cold. "This is the only way to make my grandfather believe that I'm Yunxiao."

Mrs. Lu looked at the human and robot standing before her with complicated emotions. She felt as if she had another son.

In particular, the robot Lu Jingye had even gently called out to her. "Mother."

"..." Mrs. Lu remained silent for a long time before she softly muttered, "It feels even more like it now."

Speaking of this, she thought of something and looked towards Zi Yi. "Little Yi, then how would you meet with Jingye in the future?"

Zi Yi smiled. "Ah Jing said that he would come to see me at night."

Mrs. Lu breathed a sigh of relief. She was somehow worried that Zi Yi would put on a show of affection with the robot. If that's the case, wouldn't her eldest son be pitiful?

They continued chatting for a while and since Zi Yi had to report to school, they ended the call.

After breakfast, Zi Yi carried her backpack and drove her racing car to M.Uni.

There was a sea of people in M.Uni in the morning. When Zi Yi's car approached, everyone recognized her at a glance.

"Look, Zi Yi came to class today."

"She's sure relaxed. She went abroad during National Day for a competition and even stayed there to play for a while before coming back."

"Since she's an Archaeology major, I guess it doesn't matter? In any case, she won't learn anything."

"That's right. I just don't understand how her train of thought works. Since she came in first in the independent enrollment examinations, why did she choose to study Archaeology?"

"I don't understand her either."

Zi Yi drove her car to the School of Arts and there were even more people on the road.

She parked her car in one of the parking lots and alighted. After closing the door, she walked towards the School of Chinese Language with her backpack.

However, she did not manage to walk for long, as she was stopped by a female student.

"Zi Yi."

Zi Yi looked at the female student and coldly asked, "What's the matter?"

"Zi Yi, you're Zi Xuan's sister, right?"

Zi Yi did not answer.

When the female student saw her remain silent, she furrowed her eyebrows. "I am the class monitor of Zi Xuan's class. Your sister has been a little out of her mind in recent days and some students saw several cuts on her wrists.. Since you're her elder sister, you should know what happened to her, right?"

Chapter 420: It's Just a Competition and You Should Get Used to It

Zi Yi looked at the female student standing before her and said with indifference, "I don't know, you can find her mother for such matters."

To her, there was no difference between Zi Xuan and a stranger. She did not wish to waste her time on this person.

The female student was stunned for a moment, before she then looked at her with a strange gaze and furiously said, "Your sister has suicidal tendencies and yet, you're so indifferent about it?"

Zi Yi's expression turned chilly. "If she has suicidal tendencies, you should go and look for her parents. Since you're her classmate, you should know that we don't have a good relationship. What's the use in telling me all these things?"

By the time she said that, there was already a crowd around them.

There were many who got angry when they heard what she said.

"How can Zi Yi do this? Her sister is about to commit suicide and she can still be so indifferent about it? She doesn't care for her in the slightest."

"That's right. Previously I had thought that she was amazing to have won the International Painting and Calligraphy Competition and had brought about great honor to the school. But in my opinion right now, even if she has won a prize, someone with a bad character is merely so-so."

"It's really disappointing."

"I was still thinking of voting for her if she ran for the campus belle. But right now, I feel that I won't vote for her even if I must choose another person!"

Zi Yi heard everyone's comments and looked at those people who were glaring at her in anger. She took out her phone with a cold expression and swiped across the screen for a while. Following that, she tapped on her screen and Zi Xuan's unhappy voice sounded from the phone.

"Don't mention her in front of me. What rights does she have to be my sister? She's just an idiot, and doesn't even deserve to be considered my family.

How could that be? How could an idiot enroll into M.Uni? She must have gotten in through underhanded means."

Zi Yi put away her phone as everyone looked at her with expressions of shock. "This is a recording of her saying these things when she was on the phone with her high school classmate. Why do you think someone like her would have suicidal tendencies?"

Speaking up to here, she paused for a second before she swept her gaze across the people around her. "Before knowing the full story, I would advise you guys not to jump to conclusions. Otherwise... don't blame me for being rude."

Everyone looked at her in shock and she left.

After Zi Yi had walked some distance away, one of the male students suddenly said, "Could it be that Zi Yi's younger sister is unable to accept that Zi Yi is better than her and so, has suicidal thoughts?"

The others found it hard to believe what he said, but the expression of Zi Xuan's class monitor darkened.

She still remembers what Zi Xuan said to everyone in the class after they returned from the national holiday. That appearance of hers truly looked like she could not accept that Zi Yi was better than her.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had realized the truth. The female student left with a darkened expression.

After Zi Yi had walked some distance away, she took out her phone and checked the school forum. No one had uploaded the incident that transpired earlier and she put away her phone after she had finished checking it.

The Archaeology Major had an independent courtyard at the School of Language. There was a three-story high building where lessons were held and every floor had at most three classrooms.

If one went around the teaching building, they would see another building. The exterior of the building looked older than that of the teaching building and there were two floors. The first floor was where all kinds of historical and archeological books were displayed, while the second floor had many archeological relics collected from various places.

There were not many people who took this major. There were only a total of two classes for freshmen, and each class had 20 students.

Throughout the whole of the freshmen cohort, there were only two female students. Zi Yi and Li Xia. Together, the whole department of archaeology only had a few dozen female students.

By the time Zi Yi found the classroom, everyone was already present. The moment they saw Zi Yi walking in, they were all excited.

"Zi Yi, you're finally here!"

As soon as Li Xia spotted her, she enthusiastically waved at her. "Zi Yi, come over here and sit."

Zi Yi walked over and sat beside her. While the male students were stealing glances in her direction, she put down her bag.

Li Xia looked at her in admiration. "Zi Yi, you're so amazing. You won the first place position of the International Painting and Calligraphy Competition during the National Holidays."

Zi Yi acknowledged her and opened her backpack to take out her books.

Li Xia had even more admiration at how calm she was. "Zi Yi, are you not excited that you won first place?"

"Not really," Zi Yi said with a calm expression. " It's only a competition, so it's fine as long as you get used to it."

Everyone present: "..."

Listening to her words, why do they feel that she would continue participating in numerous competitions in the future? Moreover, would she also win several more first place positions?"

Wasn't she too confident in herself?

Just then, the professor came in and everyone quickly went back to their seats.

The first lesson was on Ancient Chinese Literature. The teacher was a middle-aged man in his fifties who had his hair combed backwards. He was wearing a slightly worn-out linen robe. In his hand was a tea urn and he gave off the feeling that he had reincarnated from a previous era.

Li Xia blocked her head with her book and reminded Zi Yi in a soft voice. "Zi Yi, this teacher's name is Gu Qian. Do take note shortly. Teacher Gu likes to choose students to answer questions during lesson time and those who can't answer will have their marks deducted.

Zi Yi nodded her head.

Just then, teacher Gu turned to look at her. He flipped open the teaching materials and asked, "The female student who is attending class for the first time, you must be Zi Yi?"

Li Xia hastily said to her, "When answering teacher Gu's question, you have to stand up."

Zi Yi stood up and answered, "Yes."

Gu Qian did not allow her to sit down and he continued asking, "I heard that you participated in a painting competition during the holidays, correct?"

"That's right."

"Since you participated during the holidays, why didn't you show up for lessons last week? Do you know that if you are absent for a week, that's how much progress you have lagged behind in?"

Zi Yi pursed her lips and said, "I've already read the entire textbook."

Gu Qian furrowed his brows at her words and said with a serious expression. "Just because you had read the textbook, does it mean you can play truant at will?"

"Teacher Gu, I applied for leave from the school."

"Applied for leave? Did you get my approval? I've seen plenty of students like you. Don't think that you're all that great just because you're slightly capable. There is no limit to learning and it is you who will suffer if you learn less."

After he said that, Gu Qian picked up a piece of chalk and tapped it on the podium before he said, "I've mentioned it before during the first lesson. Whoever finds my lessons boring and doesn't feel like learning, as long as you can answer the question I ask you, you have the freedom of attending the lessons as and when you like. I won't deduct a single mark.

On the contrary, if you are unable to answer the question, then you better pay attention in class. Don't think of graduating from my class if you don't understand the contents well."

The other students buried their heads into the books.

What they feared the most was the teacher bringing up this matter.

Zi Yi thought for a while and calmly said, "Go ahead and ask."

Everyone present: "..."

Gu Qian was also momentarily stunned and he thought deep down, "As expected of a student who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth." With that, he directly started to ask Zi Yi his questions.

In the beginning, Gu Qian asked questions that could be found in the textbook. He did not expect Zi Yi to have answered them all correctly.

He then increased the difficulty of the questions and even started to ask questions from the contents that they would study in their Second, Third, and Fourth Year.

Unknowingly, half the lesson passed.

A group of students looked at Zi Yi with their mouths wide open as Zi Yi answered the questions easily.
