The sound of footsteps startled Xu Sili. He hurriedly turned his face away. He didn't want the person to see him lose his composure.
Who else could it be other than Si Sheng?
The familiar footsteps paused for a moment, then continued to sound, walking towards him resolutely.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a snow-white robe embroidered with golden threads. Xu Sili pursed his lips. He finally suppressed his turbulent emotions and looked at the man.
The man stood in front of him and looked down at him.
Xu Sili glanced at him and lowered his eyes. However, the man didn't let him go. He moved his right foot back and knelt on one knee in front of the throne. Then, he looked up at him.
Their gazes met again.
Si Sheng gazed at him and reached out to touch his face. His grayish-blue eyes were filled with doubt and worry.
"Your Majesty?" he shouted.
Perhaps his voice was too gentle, or perhaps he was too weak right now, but Xu Sili couldn't control himself.
He reached out and wrapped his arms around the man's shoulders. Then, he threw himself into the man's embrace.
Si Sheng was still kneeling on the ground. Apart from moving back slightly to lessen the force of Xu Sili's embrace, he was like the sturdiest rock. He was strong and stable.
Xu Sili hugged him and rested his chin on the man's shoulder. He gently rubbed his cheeks. He was full of dependence.
The man hugged his back with one hand while his other hand rested on the back of his head. He didn't say anything. He just quietly provided him with a warm harbor.
Janice, who was about to enter the hall, looked up and saw this warm and ambiguous scene. She was slightly stunned. Then, she hurriedly retreated out of the hall.
She stood in the corridor in a daze.
Li Zheyu stood in the corridor and glanced at her from the corner of his eye. Then, he secretly shook his head. He had already told her that the Marshal had just entered and asked her to wait …
In the hall, Xu Sili was immersed in his own emotions. He didn't realize that Janice had seen them.
Yu Siqing …
The name of the group flashed through his mind again.
This group name included the names of the three brothers, but not only that, it could also be understood as … Second Brother's longing for him, right?
But he was clearly here.
He wasn't dead. He was still in the game.
Sadness surged up again. He felt panic and heartache at the thought that his family might treat him as data in the future.
What could he do to make his second brother believe him?
Xu Sili thought about the message he had sent to his second brother before the plane crash.
However, it was too chaotic at that time, and he had experienced death, so his memories of that time were a little fuzzy.
He wasn't too sure if that message had been successfully sent. Moreover, ten years had passed. Would Second Brother still remember?
If he didn't send it out, or if he didn't remember … what should he do? Xu Sili thought in despair.
Therefore, even though he could use the communication device to contact his second brother, he did not do so. He was afraid that when the time came, even this last hope would be destroyed.
Si Sheng could sense the change in Xu Sili's emotions.
He gently stroked his silver hair and said softly, "Your Majesty, are you worried about Lan Yue City?"
Although, with Lord God's performance in the meeting just now, he felt that it was not so.
So … what had happened?
Suddenly being hugged like this, he recalled the first time Lord God took the initiative to hug him.
Just like now, his mood had suddenly dropped, but he refused to tell him the reason.
And this time, it seemed to be the same as that time.
Xu Sili buried his head in his neck and shook his head gently. He sniffed and said, "With you and the brave ones, I believe that the crisis of Lan Yue City will be resolved."
"I just …"
He pursed his lips. "I'm in a bad mood."
Si Sheng hugged him and asked in a low voice, "Why?"
"Because …"
Xu Sili paused. Yes, he couldn't tell him the reason. It was related to his biggest secret.
"I'll tell you later," he said.
Si Sheng's eyes dimmed, but he didn't ask. Instead, he nodded. "Okay."
"When that day comes, this official …"
He paused and continued, "I also have something to tell Your Majesty."
Xu Sili, who was still sad, couldn't help but blink. "What's the matter?"
Si Sheng shook his head.
"When that day comes, this official will tell Your Majesty."
Ah … Xu Sili's curiosity was immediately aroused. Si Sheng seemed to have a secret.
But according to Si Sheng's words, it meant that he wanted to exchange information with him. He would only tell him after he said it.
Xu Sili couldn't help but pout.
He was tickled by Si Sheng and thought about what he wanted to tell him. For a moment, he forgot about the sad things.
"What is it about?"
He couldn't help but ask.
Si Sheng only looked at him and smiled. Then, he used his fingers to help him tidy up his hair. He had a look that said, "If you don't say it, I won't say it."
Xu Sili reasonably suspected that this guy wanted to get information from him.
Otherwise, what secrets could Si Sheng have?
"By the way, you told me before that you have a father-like existence?"
Xu Sili stared at him without blinking. He didn't want to miss a single change in his expression.
His hands were still on Si Sheng's shoulders, and Si Sheng was hugging him. The distance between them was so close, but Xu Sili seemed to have gotten used to it.
Si Sheng raised his eyes and looked into the young man's eyes.
His scrutiny and curiosity were clearly written in his eyes. It was as if he wanted to get an answer from Si Sheng's face.
A father-like existence …
"Yes."
As he said this, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. However, there was no smile in his eyes.
Xu Sili sensed that Si Sheng seemed to be in low spirits. He immediately imagined that this "father" was not good to Si Sheng.
As for why this "father" existed, he didn't suspect anything. He only thought that this was an arrangement made by the game team when they were perfecting Si Sheng's data.
He quickly hugged Si Sheng and rubbed his chin with his forehead. He said, "We won't talk about him. Don't be sad."
Si Sheng still had a smile on his face.
He hugged the young man back and gently sniffed the unique scent of his hair. His light golden eyelashes drooped down, hiding the darkness in his eyes.
In fact, he really wanted to ask if Lord God had ever thought of him during the years when he had been left behind. He thought of such a lowly believer who had been waiting for him in the dark abyss …
But now, how did God think of him?
God was very weak, so he didn't want to recognize him. He could understand.
However, after the relationship between the two of them became so intimate, what was the Lord God thinking?
"I'm not sad."
Si Sheng's voice was low with a hint of tenderness, like a lover's whisper.
"I … love him."
Xu Sili was slightly stunned. He couldn't imagine that the word "love" would come out of Si Sheng's mouth so easily.
However …
Loving one's family was a matter of course. There was nothing strange about it.
However, Si Sheng's tone sounded a little strange.
"Yes."
Xu Sili responded and didn't continue this topic. He instinctively felt a trace of danger.
He buried his head in the man's shoulder and called out in a low voice, "Si Sheng."
"Yes?"
"Are you going to deal with military affairs?" Xu Sili asked.
Si Sheng pursed his lips.
Was he … chasing him away?
His eyes became darker and darker. He felt the young man hugging him even tighter. His lips were close to his ear, and the young man's breath was on his ear.
"Then come back early."
The young man's voice was no longer cold. Instead, it was soft. "You promised that you wouldn't leave me …"
The young man's voice became softer. It sounded like he was mumbling, but it also sounded like he was acting coquettishly.
Si Sheng's ears were already numb.
His breathing quickened and his heartbeat quickened. His ears were slightly hot. He closed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty …"
"Yes?"
"May I kiss you?"
Xu Sili, who was in his arms, was slightly stunned. "Huh?"
He straightened up and sat on the throne, looking down at his marshal.
The blonde man was still kneeling on one knee. He also looked up at him. His grayish-blue eyes were full of sincerity.
Xu Sili's gaze unconsciously fell on his lips.
The shape of his lips was really beautiful. They were neither thin nor thick. The color of his lips contrasted with his cold white skin. They were as gorgeous as roses in the snow.
His Adam's apple moved slightly.
Xu Sili should have rejected this abrupt request. However, when he looked at such a handsome face, he finally nodded.
The two of them had already done such an intimate thing …
Even though they were helping each other, but … uh … a kiss shouldn't be a big deal, right?
Then, he watched as Si Sheng leaned over.
His face gradually enlarged in front of him. He could see his smooth and delicate skin, the fine hair on his skin, the faint lines on his lips, and then …
The man kissed his forehead.
Xu Sili blinked and felt the soft touch on his forehead. His heartbeat quickened. But … but …
Why was he kissing his forehead?
While he was still in a daze, the man retreated.
This kiss was just a light touch. No matter how much his heart was in turmoil, Si Sheng controlled his actions.
He was always cautious when dealing with the deities in his heart. Even if he was testing them, he was very careful. He controlled his actions so that he would not be hated.
Si Sheng looked at Xu Sili and gently touched his cheek. "Your Majesty, I'll take my leave first."
Xu Sili returned to his senses and nodded absentmindedly.
He watched as the man got up and left. He watched as the man's cloak swayed as he walked. After a while, he couldn't help but curse.
Fuck, what was he regretting?
He placed one hand on the armrest of the throne and gently rubbed his lips with the back of his hand.
He frowned and seriously thought about something. At first glance, it looked like he was thinking about some important national matter.
After thinking for a while, Xu Sili finally came to a frightening conclusion.
He wanted to kiss Si Sheng.
And it seemed like it had been a long time.
This was very frightening.
The sight of those beautiful lips opening and closing appeared in his mind. They looked … really nice to kiss …
Xu Sili frowned.
It was definitely because Si Sheng's lips were too beautiful. Furthermore, he had never kissed anyone before. So when Si Sheng said that, it evoked his thoughts.
Why not … find some time to try it out?
The young man seriously considered the feasibility of this plan. As for whether he would carry it out … he would see.
Soon, he stopped thinking about it and opened the future forum. Perhaps it was also a bit of an escape.
Although Xu Sili was very confident about the Lan Yue City matter, who knew if there would be any accidents?
He wanted to see if the same thing had happened in another timeline and if this was arranged by the game team.
If it was really the game's preset process, could he still stop it?
The posts from the first closed beta had long been buried in the pile of old history. Although it could be searched, it really took a lot of time to find what he wanted.
Xu Sili searched seriously, almost forgetting the passage of time.
Lan Yue City, border town.
When he saw that the mercenary group application was approved, Xu Yuheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He had read the rules. The mercenary group required 50 people to apply. 2 people couldn't even register a small mercenary team. However, he passed just like that.
If it wasn't a bug …
He glanced at Bai Feng who was studying the mission bulletin board and then looked at the somewhat old robot in front of him.
Xu Yuheng licked his dry lips and asked tentatively, "Xiao Li?"
The robot ignored him and only blinked its cartoon eyes on the screen.
Xu Yuheng hesitated for a moment but didn't give up. He continued to whisper, "Snow?"
The robot still didn't respond.
Xu Yuheng sighed.
Could it be that he guessed wrong? No, it shouldn't be.
Wang Lao wouldn't open a back door for him. And such an obvious bug, he believed that with the Star Age's level of attention to details, it was impossible for it to appear.
He whispered again, "I know, you are helping me … you …"
He didn't continue to say the rest of his words.
Because he saw the robot's electronic eyes suddenly blinked crazily a few times. It looked a little guilty.
Suddenly, Xu Yuheng had a strange feeling in his heart.
This robot … why does it seem to be alive?
In the information he received, it didn't seem to mention the existence of artificial intelligence in the Star Age.
But that wasn't necessarily the case.
This was a galactic game, it was just that the Roland Empire's level of civilization was relatively low. Since there were robots, then the existence of artificial intelligence shouldn't be a big problem, right?
Xu Yuheng thought for a moment, looked at the motionless robot and said, "You are artificial intelligence?"
As soon as his voice fell, the robot's electronic eyes blinked rapidly, its mouth opened and closed, stuttering, "You … how did you know?"
Compared to the mechanical voice just now, the voice was much more human, with a hint of childishness.
Xu Yuheng was also shocked.
He was just tricking, and unexpectedly … it was true!
Xu Yuheng looked deeply at the robot in front of him, no matter how shocked he was, his face always had a calm expression, as if everything was under control.
"I guessed," he said.
"How did you guess?" The robot asked like a curious baby.
"Did Snow ask you to come?" Xu Yuheng didn't call Xiao Li anymore, but used his in-game name.
"The Snow you are talking about, is it Snow Roland?" the robot asked.
"Yes." Xu Yuheng nodded.
Then, the robot said very hesitantly, "Brother didn't say that I can tell you this, I … I'll go and ask!"
"…"
Xu Yuheng stopped it. "Wait."
Xiao Wu stopped and looked curiously at the human hero in front of it named Xu Yuheng.
Brother cared a lot about this human.
So it couldn't help but pay more attention to him.
Anyway, it had many clones now, they were enough to help it do most of the work, and it wouldn't delay things.
"What's your name?" Xu Yuheng asked.
This Xiao Wu didn't hesitate, it said, "My name is Xiao Wu."
"Xiao Wu?" Xu Yuheng raised his eyebrows. "Who gave you this name?"
"Brother gave it."
Xiao Wu looked at Xu Yuheng.
Brother said that if this Xu Yuheng encountered any difficulties, it should find a way to help him, so — —
This Xu Yuheng was a good person!
The simple artificial intelligence came to this conclusion easily, and because Xu Sili was special to it, it couldn't help but feel closer and trust toward Xu Yuheng.
Brother …
Xu Yuheng looked at the robot and also came to this conclusion — —
This artificial intelligence, could it be made by Xiao Li?
"I know that you are Xu Yuheng."
Xiao Wu said with a bit of pride in its voice.
Although it was now monitoring the entire Roland Empire, it had never communicated with others, only occasionally pretending to be a robot from the Mercenary Association.
But no one had ever seen through it, today was the first time! It looked at Xu Yuheng and couldn't help but want to say a few more words to him.
Xu Yuheng frowned, if he suddenly met an artificial intelligence in reality, he might feel creeped out, but … — — this was a game after all.
Moreover, this little guy called Xiao Li Brother!
"You can call me Second Brother," he said.
"Second Brother?" Xiao Wu blinked its electronic eyes.
"Yes."
Xu Yuheng nodded, lowered his eyebrows and inadvertently glanced at his communication device, he couldn't help but ask, "Can you run into my communication device?"
"How did you know?" Xiao Wu was surprised again.
This guy is so smart! As smart as Brother!
Xu Yuheng got the answer just like that.
That's right, he felt that it was strange before.
How did Xiao Li find him so accurately? At that time, he felt that he might have some kind of positioning skill to find people, now it seemed that it was the work of this artificial intelligence.
Then he thought of something else.
That's right, this communication device was so finely made, one look and you could tell that it wasn't a common product, but it only needed 10 Reputation to exchange for it, no matter how you looked at it, it didn't seem right.
Could it be that it was to make it easier for this little guy to monitor players?
But if that was the case, could it be that … Xiao Li could directly control the things in the faction warehouse?
Xu Yuheng frowned.
This guess wasn't impossible, but as an NPC, even if Xiao Li had really transmigrated into the game, it was quite strange for him to have this ability.
He shook his head and stopped thinking about it for the time being.
"So Xiao … Snow now knows the situation in Lan Yue City?" Xu Yuheng guessed.
Since this little guy could monitor them, he probably told Xiao Li about the traitors' conspiracy, right?
"You're really smart!"
Xiao Wu was already full of admiration for Xu Yuheng.
It clearly didn't say anything, so how did this human know everything? Even if it had an extremely high computing power, it could only calculate probabilities, and there were often many inferences.
It looked at Xu Yuheng's electronic eyes, which had turned into stars.
Xu Yuheng, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the news could be spread, with Xiao Li's personality, it was impossible for him to sit back and do nothing. Then the pressure on him would be reduced a lot.
"Then, did Snow ask you to help me?"
Xiao Wu had already given up struggling, and after calculating, this answer shouldn't hurt its brother.
So, it said, "Yes."
Xu Yuheng couldn't help but lower his head, a smile on his face, but his eyes were slightly wet.
This awkward brat …
He could have used the communication device to contact him, but he had to send an artificial intelligence.
"Okay." Xu Yuheng said, "Tell him to stay in the Imperial City and wait for me to find him. We'll talk about it then."
"Oh, oh."
Xiao Wu wrote down his words and then asked, "Do you need any other help?"
"About Lan Yue City, what's the Imperial City doing? I need to know. "
"I have to ask my brother about this."
"Well, go and find him."
Under Xu Yuheng's gaze, the robot's electronic eyes clearly trembled and then returned to normal.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
A completely formulaic mechanical voice sounded, and it sounded like Xiao Wu had already left.
Xu Yuheng couldn't tell whether it had left or not, but he didn't care too much. Instead, he took the mercenary group leader badge and walked to Bai Feng on the other side of the hall.
He was standing under the mission bulletin board, looking at the mission on the bulletin board in a daze.
"Gone," Xu Yuheng said.
"Oh, oh." Bai Feng came back to her senses and followed him out of the Mercenary Association headquarters.
Standing on the side of the street, Xu Yuheng glanced at his mercenary group panel.
After his mercenary group was successfully registered, this panel was successfully activated, which was similar to the information given to him by the game group.
The so-called mercenary group could be understood as a game guild.
Star Age didn't have the concept of a "guild," so the guild panel was designed as a mercenary group panel here.
Now on the mercenary group panel, there were only two people, him and Bai Feng, and the design above was not much different from other game guilds.
Daily missions, weekly missions, points, mercenary group benefits, warehouse and station, and so on, the warehouse required a station to open, so it wasn't used for the time being.
However, as the leader, Xu Yuheng had a special skill – Summon.
Using the Summon skill, he could summon the members of the mercenary group in the same city to his side, and it could be used once a day.
And this skill was the reason why Xu Yuheng established the mercenary group.
The moment his mercenary group was established, the game system once again made a full service announcement.
After a few seconds of silence, the world channel exploded.
Countless applications flew in like snowflakes, but fortunately, Xu Yuheng turned off the message alerts early in the morning.
He screened and then approved the application of Lan Yue City players to join the group, and his mercenary group was soon full.
As a level 1 mercenary group, he could only have 50 members at the moment. If he wanted to expand, he needed to do missions to level up the mercenary group.
However, Xu Yuheng didn't care about this. He said something in the mercenary group channel, told everyone to get ready, and then went to the town to rent a hidden warehouse.
After confirming that there was no one near the warehouse, he clicked on the Summon and gathered all the members.
Soon, there were players who responded to his call and appeared around him one after another.
Everyone was inexplicably excited.
This skill was too cool!
And what about the leader Jade Tree? They wanted to ride on his coattails, and even if they couldn't, they wanted to secretly learn how to set up a mercenary group!
As the elites of the major game teams, they definitely didn't want to join the mercenary group, but just wanted to gain experience and strategy.
Then …
[Leader Jade Tree kicked you out of the Yu Siqing mercenary group.]
Except for Bai Feng, all the players who had just joined Yu Siqing received this message.
F * ck, what's going on???
