"Oh, it's the little boy you saved. He was also in the hospital two days ago, but his injuries were relatively minor and he was discharged soon. He always wanted to come and thank you, but before you recovered, we drove him away."

"I see...let him in."

After getting Qin Jiu's affirmative answer, Dr. Lu opened the door for the man.

The man first stuck his head in and took a look. He found Qin Jiu half sitting on the bed. Although his face was still a little pale, he looked in good spirits. He breathed a sigh of relief, waved at the door, and then politely asked, "Can I come in?"

"Of course." Qin Jiu smiled, his voice still a little weak.

The man then slowly walked in from outside, holding a fruit basket with many fresh and expensive fruits on it. Right in front of the fruit basket was a huge red paper with the words "Wishing you good health" written on it.

Under the gaze of Dr. Lu, the man placed the fruit basket on the table beside him. He stood there shyly, playing with his fingers.

Qin Jiu looked at the fruit basket that almost covered the entire table. She smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have cost you a lot of money to buy such a big fruit basket."

"No, no!" The man shook his head and waved his hands, his ears reddening. He stuttered, "I, I was just passing by... I just bought it casually."

Doctor Lu was speechless when she heard this. She patted the man on the shoulder and joked, "How come I didn't know you stutter? Aren't you usually very fluent?"

"I..." The man became even more nervous after being teased by Dr. Lu. He said "I" for a long time but couldn't say the second half of the sentence.

Doctor Lu sighed and said, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. When will you be able to change your stuttering habit when you see strangers?"

After she finished speaking, she shook her head and said, "I'm going to go out first, you guys can chat by yourselves."

Qin Jiu nodded and waved goodbye to Dr. Lu, and the man also said goodbye to Dr. Lu.

He didn't turn around until Dr. Lu disappeared at the door of the ward. But he didn't dare to look Qin Jiu in the eye, his dark eyes were hidden under his long eyelashes.

Qin Jiu did not take the initiative to break the tranquility of the moment. She stared at the man silently, waiting for him to speak.

After a long while, the man took a deep breath, and as if he had finally mustered up the courage, he said to Qin Jiu: "Thank you!"

Qin Jiu knew that he wanted to talk about what happened that day. She shook her head and said, "You're welcome. It's what I should do. After all, in that situation, no matter who was there, I would not stand by and watch them die."

For some reason, after Qin Jiu finished speaking, the man seemed to be able to see circles of light behind her. Under the shining of those warm lights, her face seemed to become softer and more sacred.

"You are such a nice person..." The man smiled, and a trace of loneliness suddenly flashed in his eyes: "It would be nice if he could wait a little longer..."

Qin Jiu knew he was talking about her companion. She felt very sorry for the loss of a life. She whispered to him, "Please accept my condolences."

The man forced out an unpleasant smile and replied, "Thank you..."

After some conversation between the two, they finally broke the initial strangeness and awkwardness. The man also slowly opened up and seemed less uneasy than before.

"I've heard that you're Director Tian's chosen adopter of the Swift Leopard. You're amazing."

"what?"

Qin Jiu could understand every word, but the whole sentence put together sounded like an encrypted conversation, making it impossible to understand.

"Ah, you don't have to hide it anymore. Director Tian has already told Commander Jin Cheng, and your application has been submitted. To be honest, this is the first time I've seen an intern being chosen as an adopter. You're really outstanding! I hope you can demonstrate your super strength in the Beast Taming Army in the future!"

Faced with his sincere blessing, Qin Jiu was confused, but it seemed that things were developing in a direction she could not understand.

In order not to alert the enemy, she asked cautiously: "Apply? How come Director Tian did it so quickly..."

She deliberately left her words unsaid, leaving room for the other person to imagine. She looked a little surprised, as if she was puzzled by Tian Qing's decision.

The man thought she was being modest, so he said, "You don't have to hide it, we all know it! Director Tian has submitted your application to join the Beast Tamer Army for training. I asked for your help before I came here, and the Beast Tamer Army has passed the review. You can officially join the Beast Tamer Army when you are discharged from the hospital! Isn't it something worth being happy about?"

Qin Jiu:…………?

Wait, what is he talking about???

Beast Taming Army? Who? Who joins the Beast Taming Army???

In Qin Jiu's expectation, she might have turned a disaster into a blessing in disguise in this matter, and escaped the suspicion of being a wanted criminal. At most, she would be taken away for questioning and then be allowed to leave.

Whether it was because the alien toxin bullets were useless to her, or because she didn't have healing abilities beyond human range, or because she didn't have that iconic tattoo...

These things combined all point to one result -

She is not Qin Jiu.

In this situation, she only needs to act crazy and stupid and pretend that she doesn't know anyone, and she will be able to leave Zhongtian Star soon.

Things turned out just as she expected. She was cleared of suspicion of being Qin Jiu. Instead, she was being well taken care of because she had minimized the losses of the War Beast Management Center.

But she never thought that there was another solution to this problem...

——She will join the Beast Taming Army as the Master of Meteor, recommended by Tian Qing...

Seeing Qin Jiu dumbfounded, the man showed his innocent side. He smiled and said, "Are you surprised too? Congratulations on graduating early!"

Qin Jiu forced a smile, but her smile did not reach her eyes: "Thank you...thank you..."

The man didn't notice anything unusual about Qin Jiu at all. He attributed it all to the fact that Qin Jiu was too excited and couldn't control his expression.

He put on an "I know all" expression and said, "Don't get too excited, it will cause you to lose sleep. I was also very excited when I was selected..."

He began to talk about some interesting things in his past, as if he was passing on some experience to Qin Jiu as a person who had experienced it.

Qin Jiu couldn't hear what he was saying at all, and just mechanically nodded at the appropriate time in response to the man's words.

Her brain was working rapidly, trying to analyze the meaning of the man's words.

No matter how she thought about it, she only got one conclusion -

She is going to join the Beast Taming Army.

What a horrifying answer!

Thinking that the man kept talking about Director Tian, ​​it meant that this matter was related to Tian Qing. Qin Jiu was still willing to believe that Tian Qing would not harm her, but the current situation was completely beyond her expectations, and she had to know what happened after she left.

After the man finished speaking, Qin Jiu responded perfunctorily before saying, "Um... do you know where Director Tian is now?"

"Right now..." The man glanced at the floating clock on the wall and said, "He's probably registering Meteor Army's war beasts for Meteor!"

Qin Jiu: ...It’s over!

She and Xiao Liuxing are going to be forced to work!!!
