In fact, Li Shiming's personal strength did not need to be mentioned. He was the leader of the younger generation of the Earth Federation, and he was strict with himself. There had never been any scandals about him. Wu Xin had seen him a few times, and every time, his attitude was the same: respectful and confident. He did not have the arrogance of a member of an aristocratic family. It was not easy to be born into the Li family.
Li Shiming had the demeanor of a big shot.
After Li Shiming and the others left, Wu Xin immediately called Samantha in. Unlike his anxious wife, Ma Dutian stopped Wu Xin who was about to interrogate her.
"Shasha, I heard from House of Li that Ma Xiaoru's EMF is very unstable. I want to know the reason, and I know you must know the reason, so I hope you can tell me, so I don't have to investigate further."
Ma Dutian said with a serious face. He was the ruler of the Earth Confederation's economy, and although he was not a powerful fighter, he had an inviolable aura about him.
Samantha had expected this, and she had been thinking about whether she should tell Ma Dutian about it or not.
"Shasha, you and Ma Xiaoru are the closest. Even if she doesn't want to tell us, she will definitely tell you who messed with Ma Xiaoru!" Wu Xin had a bad temper when she was young, and she had become much calmer after marrying Ma Dutian. However, she would never let anyone bully her precious daughter off. Wu Xin had defeated many suitors in the military academy, and somehow, she fell in love with the mediocre Ma Dutian. At that time, Ma Dutian was still studying under a different name, and Wu Xin didn't know that he was the heir of House of Ma.
"There's nothing much going on lately, so the only possibility that could affect Ma Xiaoru is..."
Samantha tried to avoid the main point, and simply put, Ma Xiaoru had fallen in love with a boy from Ayrlarng, but the boy only treated her as a friend.
Before Ma Dutian could finish, Wu Xin said angrily, "You're saying that bastard doesn't like Ma Xiaoru? Where is he? I'll teach him a lesson! "
Ma Dutian looked at his wife and said, "Xin, calm down first. Are you going to blame him for not liking Ma Xiaoru? Shasha, you have a lot of things to do, you should go back first, I'll let you know if anything happens."
"Uncle, I think I should wait for Ma Xiaoru to wake up."
"Samantha, you're not a child anymore. You should know what's more important. There's an elder of the Li family here. Nothing will happen."
Ma Dutian's tone was firm, and Samantha nodded in agreement.
"Remember the oath you made back then. You've performed well so far, but this is just the beginning. You must understand the burden on your shoulders and the dangers ahead!"
Ma Dutian glanced at Samantha and said.
When only Ma Dutian and Wu Xin were left in the room, Wu Xin put her hands on her waist and stared at Ma Dutian, "Little Tian Tian, what do you know? Tell me now, or I won't forgive you!"
Ma Dutian could only smile bitterly. When there were outsiders around, Wu Xin would always pretend to be obedient. She would never go against Ma Dutian's words. But when there were no outsiders around, Wu Xin was the most powerful person in the room.
"Fine, honey. Just ask me what you want to know. There's no need to be so fierce." Ma Dutian smiled bitterly.
"Humph, who exactly made our Xiao Ru angry!"
"It's a matter between youngsters. Actually …"
"Actually what? Cut the bullshit and tell me everything. If you dare to hide anything from me, you'll have to kneel on a washboard!" Wu Xin peeked at Ma Dutian's ear with an evil intention.
"Fine, fine. It's a young man named Wang Tong. Ma Xiaoru might be in love with him, but this kid might be in love with Samantha or another girl named Zhou Sisi. Coincidentally, Ma Xiaoru's EMF was unstable because of her recent breakthrough. Just keep it to yourself and don't go and beat her up." Ma Dutian laughed.
"Humph! How can you still laugh?" Wu Xin held back her anger and said. No wonder Samantha was hesitant just now. But it couldn't be helped. Wu Xin was just a straightforward person.
"It's always a special feeling when it comes to first love. Don't worry about it. If Xiao Ru really gets together with him, we'll have a headache."
Wu Xin felt relieved. "Oh right, Shimin is a good kid. I think he likes our Xiao Ru as well. If they get together, they'll be a match made in heaven."
"Xin, let's talk about this later. You know that the outsiders are already afraid of us. If we were to get married again, we might become the target of public criticism. Most importantly, Ma Xiaoru is just like you, she's not interested in being a member of a noble family." Ma Dutian looked at his wife with deep love.
"Fine, fine. But what should we do? Ma Xiaoru will be upset again when she goes back."
"I'm sure House of Li has already come up with a solution." Ma Dutian said calmly, "Since Ma Xiaoru is no longer in danger, let's hear what they have to say."
The elder of House Li suggested that Ma Xiaoru's memories of the past few months in Ayrlarng be sealed, and that she would be transferred to Capth. Li Ruo-Er would take care of Ma Xiaoru there, so it would be safer for her to improve her Tactics of the Enchantress.
"Seal the memory? Will there be any side effects? "Wu Xin asked worriedly.
Elder Li, who was in his forties, shook his head and said, "This is the safest way for House of Li to deal with Soul Fluctuations. Actually, as long as Ma Xiaoru stabilizes her Fifth Sky, she can release her memory. It'll be like a dream to Ma Xiaoru."
"Uncle, it's our fault. We didn't expect Ma Xiaoru to be so talented." Li Shimin said in a self-blaming tone.
"Haha, it's not your fault. Ma Xiaoru must have done it by accident." Ma Dutian said.
"What do you mean by accident? Ma Xiaoru inherited my talent, how could she be weak!"
"Auntie Xin, I'm so envious of you. You can talk and laugh with each other. Your relationship is so good. Unlike our dad who only knows how to keep a straight face all day long. How about I be your daughter?" Li Ruoer held Wu Xin's arm and said sweetly.
"That's great, little girl. I'm just worried that we won't be able to stop your Einherjar." Wu Xin said as she pinched Li Ruo-Er's nose.
"Haha, we're all family. Brother Ma, Ma Xiaoru is still in a coma, so it's best to use the secret spell now. When she wakes up, all you have to do is to give her a reason, like interstellar travel or something." Elder Li said with a smile.
Ma Dutian thought for a while and nodded, "Thank you, Elder Li."
House of Li was divided into different branches. House of Ma was aware of House of Li, and they knew that General Li Feng had a lot of female friends. These two people should be from Zhou Zhi's faction.
"Of course."
Ma Xiaoru was sleeping quietly in the room, just like a little princess in a fairy tale. However, she didn't know that some things and people would disappear after she woke up …
Illness, Demon, Retreat, Death, Injury!
The two elders were talking about the spell formation, and their Soul Energy slowly enveloped Ma Xiaoru. The training of Tactics of the Enchantress was indeed more dangerous than other tactics. Both of them thought that Ma Xiaoru was not interested in practicing Tactics of the Enchantress, and her personality was not suitable for Tactics of the Enchantress. They thought that she would stagnate after leaving the House of Li, and no one expected her to reach the Fifth Sky.
However, sealing one's memory was indeed the best way to deal with cultivation deviation.
Li Shiming and Li Ruo-Er left after Ma Xiaoru woke up. Li Shiming was still a military officer, and he couldn't just leave like that. He was here because of Ma Xiaoru's accident, but he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.
The plane carried the siblings away from the Ma family's manor until they were just a small dot in the horizon.
Li Ruo-Er stretched her body and said, "Brother, I won!"
"Tell me, what do you want?" Li Shiming smiled.
"Pfft, laugh if you want. I really admire you. You're able to keep a straight face no matter what happens. Don't you want to know how I do it?" Li Ruo-Er said proudly.
"Haha, after you found out that Ma Xiaoru had reached the Fifth Sky, you purposely led her into a fight and caused her EMF to become unstable. Then, you purposely revealed to her that Wang Tong liked Samantha, and then you planted a seed in her heart." Li Shiming said.
"Hmph, not fun. Not fun at all. Such an exquisite and perfect design, but you pointed it out with just one sentence. Boring!"
"You're flattering me. You did me a great favor." Li Shiming said.
"That's true. I don't want my future sister-in-law to be sullied by a poor kid. But I don't think Ma Dutian would agree to it so easily. Brother, you still have a long way to go." Li Ruo-Er patted Li Shiming's shoulder.
Li Shiming smiled, but it was a smile that made people uncomfortable. It was a smile that said he didn't care about anything, as long as he wanted it, he would get it.
And Li Ruoer did believe in this.
"What do you want? You can't wait."
"Hehe, I only have one condition, and that is, you can't touch Wang Tong. He's my toy!" Li Ruo-Er said as she played with her fingers. Her eyes were filled with evil, which was the complete opposite of the cute and innocent girl in front of Wu Xin.
"Oh?"
"Brother, I know you well." Li Ruo-Er said with a smile. If she didn't make this request, Wang Tong would have died within three days.
"Alright, but don't make a big deal out of it. I don't want to leave any loose ends behind." Li Shiming said casually as he looked at the document on his Skynet.
"Got it. Don't worry, I'll take care of my future sister-in-law, and no one will be able to get close to her!" Li Ruo-Er jumped up and left the cabin.
The moment Li Shiming finished speaking, the matter was already over for him. He focused on the documents in his hands.
Meanwhile, Wu Xin was taking care of Ma Xiaoru. Ma Xiaoru had just woken up, and she was told that she had gone on an interstellar journey and got caught in a space storm. Fortunately, she was fine, and only missed the first semester of Ayrlarng. Since Samantha had always been strict in her studies, Ma Xiaoru decided to study at Capth. Li Ruo-Er was there to take care of Ma Xiaoru.
