On how to avoid being cannon fodder

The welcome dinner prepared for Ji Wenyuan is not too formal, the main purpose is to let the high-level of the empire get to know him.

It is 07:30 now, and the dinner will start at eight o'clock, but Ji Wenyuan, who is sitting on the sofa at this time, just wants to put his head in the ice bucket to cool off.

He, last night, actually invited Luo Qiubai to attend the dinner with him.

Ji Wenyuan sat motionless on the sofa, the light blue supernatural light in his dark blue eyes flickered on and off.

The formal dinner in the Norman Empire can only bring your relatives or partners, and the inauguration welcome dinner is not so formal, but it can't be casual.He invited Luo Qiubai, which is equivalent to announcing to his colleagues - if there is no accident, this is my future partner!

Ji Wenyuan raised his hand to cover his forehead, using supernatural powers to cool down his feverish brain.

The most troublesome thing is that that kid Luo Qiubai actually agreed.

But they have only known each other for two days!Only met twice!The understanding of each other is still so shallow!

Is this the power of love?

How can it be? !

After the inexplicable touch last night subsided, he quickly regained consciousness, and was immediately frightened into a cold sweat.It stands to reason that Luo Qiubai is a third-level ability user of the cold system, and there is no possibility of successfully performing mental intervention on him, but his behavior is so abnormal.

Ji Wenyuan took a deep breath, put his hands back on his knees, his eyes regained his composure.

At this point in the matter, he has nothing to do, he can only take a step forward, but he must pay close attention to Luo Qiubai.As for the method...

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

According to the laws of the Norman Empire, it is forbidden to use detection robots to monitor people of sound mind, so even if Ji Wenyuan can make a miniature detection robot, he will not do it.But the Norman Empire is too big, and the surveillance equipment that can withstand the irregular energy storms can't cover every area, and most of them can only monitor images and abilities below level six. As long as you have the heart, avoiding surveillance is not too difficult .

That's why the Norman Empire has now established a dual intelligence monitoring organization-the intelligence department directly under the council of supernatural beings and the independent Overwatch Council.The Intelligence Department mainly focuses on incidents involving supernatural beings and strange beasts, and all members are supernatural beings; while the Overwatch Council is completely opposite, composed of ordinary people, and mainly supervises and supervises ordinary people's crimes.

But no matter which side it is, it is impossible to focus on a supernatural person for no reason, and it is also a harmless supernatural person from a top family.

He can only rely on himself.

A long time ago, when he was studying the history of the Norman Empire, he had seen a tracking method——

"Tracking Gu, created by the few feathers, does not require mental power to control it. It can travel thousands of miles a day without resting for three days."

It has long been eliminated, but if there is really something wrong with Luo Qiubai, then it can help Ji Wenyuan find this person.

When Ji Wenyuan arrived with Luo Qiubai, the dinner hadn't started yet.

Zuo Yaxi, who also arrived earlier, saw Ji Wenyuan and immediately went up to meet him.He glanced at Luo Qiubai with a very surprised look, and said via voice transmission with his mental power: "You have a companion!"

Ji Wenyuan didn't know what to say, so he could only slightly nodded.

Mental power sound transmission is the exclusive method for high-level abilities in the control department, and neither the ice nor fire department can learn it.Moreover, this method is very difficult, and generally fifth-level supernatural beings with slightly weaker mind control ability cannot learn it.

Zuo Yaxi just sighed casually just now, and didn't hold on to this topic.He turned and said: "At present, only the minister and the people from the mechanical department of the research institute have arrived. You can say hello to them first. Of course, even if you don't go, they will definitely come to talk to you." After all, these people are all Knowing that Ji Wenyuan has great potential, he is definitely willing to come and make friends.

Ji Wenyuan nodded to express his understanding.

Zuo Yaxi was not a talkative person either, and she didn't know what to say to Ji Wenyuan, who was even less talkative, and the two chatted to death within a short while.The two looked at each other speechlessly, Zuo Yaxi took the lead to find a reason to withdraw, and signaled Ji Wenyuan to go in and play slowly.

Ji Wenyuan looked at his back in a hurry and felt that something was wrong, and he was stunned for two seconds before he remembered the most reasonable words that the instructor told him before he left the training institute for advanced supernatural beings——

"Keep smiling when you don't know what to say."

Ji Wenyuan silently recalled the demonstration chart that Nord instructor found for him to adjust his facial muscles.

Luo Qiubai next to him just looked curiously at the arrangement in the field, and when he turned his head to see Ji Wenyuan, he immediately saw the man who was almost always expressionless two seconds ago smiling softly and gracefully.His dark blue pupils seemed to be the sea shimmering in the sun, so charming and intoxicating.His mind was blanked by the beauty of the melting iceberg.

Ji Wenyuan noticed that the people around him had stopped, and turned his head to look at him slightly.

Luo Qiubai only felt that Ji Wenyuan's deep blue eyes seemed to contain infinite affection, which made people blush and heartbeat involuntarily.

Seeing his reaction, Ji Wenyuan's heart moved slightly, he deliberately deepened the smile on his lips, and said softly in a low and magnetic voice: "We should go in."

"...Okay." Luo Qiubai was fascinated by him, and he hasn't recovered yet, still staring at him stupidly.

Ji Wenyuan stretched out his hand in a gentlemanly way, and after Luo Qiubai put his hand up, he pulled him into the arena.The place where his hand touched Luo Qiubai seemed to suddenly become very sensitive, and a numbness spread from his fingertips to the depths of his heart.A sense of joy that can be called happiness enveloped his whole body, making every cell of him feel extremely satisfied.

His common sense is telling him: you like Luo Qiubai.

But at the same time, his heart was sharply warning.

Ji Wenyuan took a subtle breath.

He didn't know whether he fell in love with Luo Qiubai or there was something weird about this person, but the best way at this time was to keep him by his side and observe.

He thought that there was definitely something weird about Luo Qiubai.

He hoped that there was nothing weird about Luo Qiubai.

Ji Wenyuan didn't know how long it would take him to break free from this strange state, but he knew that he would never allow himself to sink like this.But what if Luo Qiubai really has some ulterior secrets and turns to confuse others?

So, so be it.Keep Luo Qiubai by your side, it's all good.

He gritted his teeth secretly, thinking silently: For the empire.

The importance of the Ministry of Intelligence is indisputable, and every high-level force in the Norman Empire sent representatives to congratulate the new deputy minister on his appointment.The Congress, the Research Institute, the Council of Espers, the Military Department, the Overwatch Council, and even the imperial royal family who were not in charge all sent Emperor Garon's youngest son, the Third Prince Hayden, to exchange feelings.

Ji Wenyuan had been chatting with various representatives, so he didn't stay with Luo Qiubai anymore.The head of the Luo family, as a top family, also received invitations, but the status of the junior Luo family was almost the bottom among those who came tonight.Luo Ninghai, who had no one to talk to him, saw Luo Qiubai eating dessert alone in the corner almost immediately, and was shocked and quickly called someone over to ask why he was here.

Luo Qiubai slightly opened his eyes wide, his light brown pupils seemed to reflect water under the light, making him appear extraordinarily innocent.He showed a bright smile and said, "Ji Wenyuan brought me here!"

Of course the head of the Luo family knew who Ji Wenyuan was, and his eyes widened in disbelief and surprise: "When did you meet?" Everyone present knew that Ji Wenyuan had extraordinary potential, and the identity of the representative who came to the banquet was also more than usual. higher.For example, the head of the executive department, Luo Zhentao, came directly.If Luo Qiubai can marry Ji Wenyuan, it will be a great thing for the Luo family!

Luo Qiubai's face turned red all of a sudden, and he said in a low voice, "Just yesterday morning, he lived across from me! Dad, he is really handsome and has a good temperament. I like him so much."

The head of the Luo family was overjoyed, and asked: "Did he invite you to come?"

Luo Qiubai nodded quickly.

"Okay!" Patriarch Luo rejoiced, patted Luo Qiubai on the shoulder and praised: "Great! He really deserves to be a good son of Dad! I didn't understand when you said you wanted to move out by yourself. Sure enough, it is easy to meet good opportunities like this!"

"Dad!" Luo Qiubai was a little annoyed, "It's just a coincidence! This is fate!"

Patriarch Luo laughed so hard that he lost his eyes: "Okay, okay, Qiu Bai, you are right in everything."

Luoqiu pursed his lips and said nothing.

While chatting with Luo's father and son, Ji Wenyuan on the other side met Luo Zhentao, the head of the executive department who came in person.Luo Zhentao can basically be regarded as the one with the highest status among the people who came to the banquet tonight, even higher than the third prince who has no real power.He is also a top talent who has received the highest standard training from the Advanced Ability Training Institute.He is 176 years old now, and he is already a level seven peak flame power user, and he may even break through to level eight at any time.Part of the reason why he will come tonight is because Ji Wenyuan has the same background as him.

Luo Zhentao is still very young as a seventh-level power user who can live to more than 400 years old. He looks only 27 or [-] years old on the outside. Walking hormonal divergence.He was about the same height as Ji Wenyuan, standing side by side at this moment, his sense of presence did not lose to Ji Wenyuan, the protagonist of the banquet.The head of the executive department held up a red wine glass, and chatted with Ji Wenyuan, and suddenly pointed to Luo Qiubai's direction with the wine glass, and asked, "Did you bring that child?"

Ji Wenyuan responded in a low voice.

"What a beautiful little guy." Luo Zhentao casually praised, and then said, "You decided to lock yourself up so quickly?"

Ji Wenyuan didn't answer.

If one day he finds out what's wrong with Luo Qiubai, then everything will be over.But if no evidence is found, he might actually marry Luo Qiubai.This is no longer a matter of being locked in or not, it's just his choice.

After all, the two met for the first time, and soon separated.Luo Zhentao leaned against the wall to drink, and didn't intend to talk to others, but his eyes stayed on Luo Qiubai more than once, and there was a trace of infatuation in his eyes that he didn't even notice.

No one noticed that Luo Qiubai, who was looking for Ji Wenyuan with the dessert, seemed to casually glance at Luo Zhentao, with unclear meaning in his eyes.

Ji Wenyuan noticed that Luo Qiubai was looking elsewhere, his heart tightened slightly, and he asked, "What's wrong?"

Luo Qiubai turned his head and showed an innocent smile: "It's nothing, I just think the arrangement of fate is really wonderful."
