At the royal banquet, eleven master humanoid masters sat on soft chairs specially prepared for them by the royal family, with all kinds of rare and rare fruits and vegetables placed in front of them.

The oldest of these eleven master-level humanoid masters is gray-haired, and the youngest is 35-[-]. Without exception, they are all highly sought after by the world, and even the high-ranking Blue Star Emperor respects these eleven humanoid masters. Amicable.

Such an honor, apart from his own younger brother, other princes of the royal family can hardly even get a smile from the emperor.

"It's just a bunch of shabby guys, how can they deserve to sit with us."

In the corner, the young Viscount muttered something, his eyes were full of disdain and embarrassment, as if seeing a wandering beggar eating at the same table as himself, he felt very worthless.

The baron next to him who had a good relationship with him also agreed.

In their view, it is ridiculous to be so sought after after making a few toys.

Having said that, the voices of both of them are very small, it is the emperor's order to invite this group of puppet masters to the royal banquet, and it has been carried out for five years, no matter what they think in their hearts, they will not be foolish to show it.

There are not a few people who have the same idea as the two, and these people have one thing in common, that is, they have no access to the center of power.

Anyone present who has heard the news will know how important a master humanoid master is, and the bright future of the empire will definitely be indispensable to the help of these people.

Qingyu looked at the normally aloof emperor smiling at him, his face flushed with excitement.

"I hope you can make more S-rank dolls."

The aged emperor's eyes were filled with approval and expectation.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best."

Qingyu blushed, his mind was already filled with all kinds of gold, silver and jewels, his desire for power and money made him try to win the emperor's favor, "I have an S-rank doll by my side, if Your Majesty doesn't mind , I am willing to dedicate him to His Majesty for enjoyment."

"I remember that you have donated a doll before, and there are still S-rank dolls?" The emperor was a little surprised.

"Qingyu's talent is very strong, and he can make one doll a year, which is much faster than us old bones."

Before Yao Ji was made, there was a puppet beside Qingyu. Because of its strange deformity, it was invisible to the public, and it has never been released, but the ability of that puppet is very outstanding.

As the president spoke, he glanced at several master puppet masters beside him. These are all non-guild puppet masters. Although they are all for the empire, there is still competition between the association and the non-guild.

A few non-association master humanoid masters on the side were discussing in a low voice, looking at Qingyu with shocking eyes, they are all nearly forty years old, and with their abilities, it is possible to make an S-class one in two or three years puppet.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible not to be shocked to hear that Qingyu can produce S-class dolls in one year.

Emperor Lens is very satisfied with this speed.

In fact, he always felt that the speed of this group of humanoid masters was too slow, which caused his army to be delayed. If he could be like Qingyu, his army should have been formed five years ago.

"Are the S-class dolls made in one year very powerful?"

In the corner, the Viscount said doubtfully.

The baron didn't know either, but he had heard that the eldest son of the richest man made an S-class doll within half a year. He had only been making dolls for a few years, and he wanted to know that the other party was just for fun. Thinking about it, he said: " Not great, even an amateur can't compare."

Hearing what the baron said, the viscount suddenly looked at Qingyu with even more contempt.

Amateur player Qi Chao didn't know what happened at the banquet. With Xiumei's help, he went to the association's library again.

Thanks to today's banquet, there are fewer puppet masters in the association than yesterday. Qi Chao entered the library smoothly and found the small tree picture that was placed in the mezzanine yesterday.

The painter's painting skills are very strong, the small trees drawn with marker pens are lifelike, and the textures of the branches are drawn very carefully.

Qi Chao looked at the small tree drawn with a marker pen on the paper, and found nothing wrong no matter how he looked at it. Why did he lose sleep over this thing?

He was lost in thought, his thumb stroked the piece of paper, the next second, Qi Chao suddenly noticed something, he paused his thumb, stared at the small black tree with dark brown eyes, and rubbed it again along the lines just now.

Why are the textures from the bottom of the trunk to the crown of the tree almost the same as those on the faces of Xuanjian and Shuangjian?

The lines on the branches are like coquettish flower vines, entangled with this small tree, Qi Chao rubbed his thumb against the paper, the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt, he squatted down and began to search the nearby mezzanine.

But no matter how hard he searched, Qi Chao couldn't find another piece of paper. The piece of paper in his hand was like a mysterious reminder, telling Qi Chao silently that as long as he found out this small black tree, he could find Xuanjian. And the secret of the pattern on Shuang Jian's face.

Qi Chao clenched the piece of paper in his hand.

Since it can be drawn by someone, it means that someone knows what the pattern is. Qi Chao took a picture of the paper with his optical brain, and will look it up after preparation.

He put the piece of paper back in its original place, got up and thought about it, and instead of leaving the library directly, he called the system silently in his heart.

It's not normal for me to care so much about Xiaoshu for some reason. Most of the time, the system doesn't know what to ask, but sometimes it can tell me something.

However, to Qi Chao's surprise, the system never responded. In the past, as long as he called out, the system would appear immediately.

What was the delay?

Qi Chao temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, turned and left the library without calling the system again.

The banquet is about to end, and a large number of puppet masters will come back later, if they stay any longer, it will cause trouble for Xiumei.

However, as soon as Qi Chao walked out of the library, he saw Xiumei stomping her feet, her face was a little anxious, there was a lot of noise not far away, it seemed that something happened, and the red alarm light on the wall kept screaming.

"What's going on here?"

Qi Chao frowned slightly.

"Someone who doesn't have a good eye comes to rob the association again, let's leave quickly." Xiu Mei took a sip, "I really don't know what there is to snatch from this broken association."

"Isn't robbing a bank more profitable than coming here to steal dolls?" Xiumei likes money, although she has no guts to do illegal things, but since the group of robbers have decided to commit crimes, it's better to be a big one.

It's useless to go to the association to grab things.

The surroundings were in a mess, and the uniformed puppet masters rushed towards one direction. It was conceivable that the incident should be there.

Qi Chao glanced at the alarm on the wall and nodded in agreement. Instead of following along to join in the fun, he said instead: "Let's go first, there will be too many people later, and I'm worried that it will cause trouble for you."

Originally, Xiumei wanted to mention this matter, but when she heard Qi Chao take the initiative to say this, Xiumei was taken aback for a moment, but then her heart warmed.

This man is rich and warm-hearted.

If Xiumei had no intention of getting married at all, she would definitely not let such a person go, but being friends is also good, Xiumei thought, this was the first time she wanted to make friends sincerely after leaving the slums.

Qi Chao followed closely behind Xiumei and was about to leave the association. He was in such a hurry that he didn't notice that the camera next to the siren was slowly turning his head as they moved.

"Father is finally leaving."

A Gu looked at the monitor screen, tilted his head and looked at the calm Moss with a smile.

Moss didn't answer, and Ah Gu curled his lips, saying it was better for Xiangyue. Even if Xiangyue didn't answer himself, the tail behind him and the dog ears on his head would still reveal his inner thoughts.

On the contrary, the elder brother really didn't want to take care of himself.

A Gu ignored Moss, he turned his head to look at his father who was standing in front of the screen, thought for a while and approached Shen Yuxi, and asked, "Does father want to wait for father to leave before doing anything?"

As he spoke, he shook the optical brain in his hand: "Auntie Cuckoo has successfully located it, and it is estimated that the robber will be solved in half an hour."

Shen Yuxi looked away from Qi Chao, turned her head to look at A Gu, her thin lips parted slightly, and her voice was cool: "Half an hour is enough."

The implication is to wait for Qi Chao to leave before doing anything.

Ah Gu has no objection, after all he doesn't want Qi Chao to see his cruel appearance, that's not fun.

"Fortunately, my father came to the monitoring area first, otherwise it would be a bad thing." A Gu said, walked to the door, and patted the heads of the two tied up humanoid masters.

The two puppet masters, whose mouths were tied with cloth strips and whose eyes were full of tears, shivered. They curled up into a ball, fearing that these frenzied dolls would kill them directly.

Seeing this, Ah Gu became very playful, and was about to say something with a smile on his face, when he was kicked lightly by Moss the next second.

"Stop playing, let's go."

The smile on Ah Bone's face froze for a moment. When he saw the backs of his father and Moss, he immediately got up and waved to them affectionately: "Don't be afraid, someone will let you sleep well later , you won’t remember us when you wake up!”

After finishing speaking, Ah Gu ran away bouncing around, leaving only two people with frightened eyes in the dark monitoring room, waiting for the unknown to come.

After Shen Yuxi heard the slight sound behind her, she glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw Ah Gu's vicious and satisfied expression, and then looked away.

As long as Ah Gu doesn't affect the plan, Shen Yuxi won't care what he wants to do.

"How is the machine data logging?"

Shen Yuxi walked straight to the basement of the association.

"Aunt Cuckoo said there is still half of it."

Moss replied.

Shen Yuxi hummed, then looked at A Gu and said, "You and Moss go to lure them away. We will leave in 10 minutes."

The basement door opened and closed, and Agu and Moss knew that the next thing they would do was to mess up the association even more when their father was going to deal with the machine.

"It's really troublesome." Ah Gu complained, "The core of the machine is so difficult to crack, why don't you just blow it up, anyway, father won't be able to take that machine away this time."

Moss glanced at A Gu and warned: "The core of the machine is very important, and you are not allowed to make your own claims."

Of course Ah Gu knew this. The core of the energy converter is one of the cores of the mother tree. If it were to explode, the mother tree would probably not survive.

That night, when Qi Chao returned home to eat with his children, he saw the news pushed by the projection screen.

The long-haired hostess made an emergency broadcast: [The association suffered an unknown attack, and half of the headquarters building was burned down. 】

The only luck is that there were no casualties, and the suspect is currently being arrested.

Qi Chao glanced at it, and when he saw that no one was injured, he didn't look any further. He just casually told the children a few words: "If you encounter something like this, you must run quickly, you know, don't just join in the fun."

For example, if he didn't come out with Xiu Mei before, but joined in the fun, he might not have come out of the fire scene yet.

"I know dad."

Li Bai nodded seriously.

The other four puppets on the table also agreed firmly.

Qi Chao knew the children in the family very well, and they would not break their promises when they promised themselves. He smiled and ignored the matter.

During the video call with Brother Shen at night, Qi Chao lay on the bed, smiling and telling the dolls' reactions.

When chatting with Brother Shen, Qi Chao always talked a lot, and the content was complicated. Sometimes he would tell jokes he had brushed on his optical brain, and sometimes he would talk about things related to the children at home.

"They know it's good to stay out of danger."

No matter what Qi Chao said, Shen Yuxi would always listen patiently and respond to his words gently.

Qi Chao enjoyed the time chatting with Brother Shen very much, he looked at Brother Shen projected in the air, and traced his outline with his hands, "You too, pay attention to safety, Brother Shen still goes out to gather folk songs every day, right? "

"Ah."

Shen Yuxi looked at Qi Chao's movements, his eyes softened a lot, and the other party would always reveal that he cared about him inadvertently.

He likes Qi Chao's natural behavior, which allows Shen Yuxi to easily feel the other party's strong love for him.

Shen Yuxi's eyelashes trembled slightly, thinking that the two of them appeared in the association at the same time before, if it wasn't because he thought too much, he went to the monitoring room first and saw Qi Chao in the library, there might be many mistakes.

However, why did Qi Chao appear in the library?

In Shen Yuxi's memory, Qi Chao should have gone to the library yesterday. He looked up at Qi Chao, and said in a friendly tone: "What did you do? I heard from Lan Luo that you weren't home today?"

"Correct."

Qi Chao didn't say anything about Xiaoshu. He himself is not from this world, and it is obviously abnormal to suffer from insomnia because of Xiaoshu's picture. Before he finds out, Qi Chao doesn't want to worry Brother Shen for the time being.

"I went to the library to find the patterns on the faces of Shuangjian and Xuanjian." Qi Chao said normally: "I saved some of the books I read yesterday, and I finished reading them today."

"Any clues?"

"no"

This answer was not surprising. After Shen Yuxi stared at Qi Chao for a few seconds, she whispered a few words of comfort.

"I know, but I didn't see the records of the patterns on their faces in the pile of disease books, so I was relieved."

Qi Chao watched very openly, and after chatting with Brother Shen for a while, he turned off the video call.

The next day, after Qi Chao woke up, not long after, the optical brain rang, and it was from the two younger brothers.

Now both Qi Feng and Qi Ye have entered university, thanks to Tu Zhuang's tutoring, both of them are in good universities, and they are considered to be ranked high in Blue Star.

The purpose of their posting the video is also very simple, that is to inform Qi Chao in advance that the two will bring Tu Zhuang and Sanyue to the house for dinner later.

After going to college, the two brothers have more free time, and they come to visit Qi Chao's villa almost every once in a while.

This time when they came over, Qi Chao was already used to it, and said casually: "There is no meat at home, so you can buy some on the way."

Qi Feng and Qi Ye like to eat meat.

After the two brothers agreed, Qi Chao directly drew the little tree on the optical brain last night in the living room.

He held up the piece of paper and looked at the small black tree drawn with a marker against the ceiling. He was a little dazed, and he still didn't understand what the inexplicable feeling in his heart was.

After hearing the knock on the door, Qi Chao casually put the piece of paper on the coffee table, got up and opened the door for his two younger brothers.

Qi Feng and Qi Ye were as familiar as they were in their own home. After entering, they went straight upstairs and knocked on the doors one by one to wake up the puppets.

Tu Zhuang and March were a little cramped.

For Tu Zhuang, Qi Chao is his savior. Every time he meets Qi Chao, Tu Zhuang will be very excited. He will show his recent grades and tell him that he is studying hard.

Sanyue followed behind Tu Zhuang, peeking at Qi Chao unobtrusively. In his opinion, Qi Chao was more important than his father.

However, Qi Chao concealed the fact that he had repaired himself, and Sanyue thoughtfully did not take the initiative to get close to Qi Chao. He was worried that his ignorant closeness would cause trouble to Qi Chao.

"Sit down first." Qi Chao looked up at the second floor, "I'll go up and look for those two boys."

His family, Lan Luo, is angry. It would be better if Qi Feng and Qi Ye knocked on the door of Li Bai, Xiang Yue, or Shuang Jian Xuan Jian. If it was Lan Luo who knocked on the door, Lan Luo would definitely be unhappy.

Tu Zhuang and Sanyue nodded. Just as they were sitting in their seats, Sanyue lowered her head and accidentally saw the small tree on the table. Her back stiffened and her face paled a lot.

"what happened?"

Tu Zhuang noticed what was going on in March, and immediately asked aloud, because he was so nervous that he even forgot to control his volume.

For Tu Zhuang, Sanyue is his only family member, and caring is just right for him.

Qi Chao was about to go up the stairs. After hearing this, he turned back to the coffee table and asked with concern: "What's wrong with March?"

March's eyes kept staring at the small tree drawn with a marker pen.

The stick figure is not the same as the tree in reality, but the texture of this small tree is too similar to the giant tree in his dream, and the texture on the trunk seems to be a complete copy.

Qi Chao followed his line of sight and just saw the small tree he had dropped on the table, he paused, then picked up the paper, his dark brown eyes were a bit puzzled: "Have you seen this tree in March? "

Otherwise, why would you show such an expression?

March's breathing was a little short, as if thinking of something, her lips moved: "See... I've seen it."

"I saw it in my dream."

Looking into Qi Chao's eyes, Sanyue clenched his fists on his knees, he breathed out nervously, feeling very absurd in his heart.

Why does the giant tree in his dream coincide with this small tree?
