"What kind of system?" Luo Bi had already figured out that Bai He was either a Contract Master or a Contract Apprentice, not because her eyesight was particularly good, but because Bai He's clothes were too obvious.

Today, Bai He wore a one-shoulder sheer short dress in snow-white, though the fabric was cheap, it was stylish, loose on top, and light and flowing at the bottom, revealing just enough to make it clear that this was a Contract Master's attire.

"Bai He awakened her Soul Source Power and chose the Alchemy System." Bai He often came to the Zhihuang Star military base, so Pei Yu was quite familiar with her.

The Alchemy System? Because they were in the same system, was that why she was targeting me? This thought flashed through Luo Bi's mind. However, seeing Bai He's obvious flattery towards Hu Li, the thought quickly dissipated; it didn't seem likely.

Among the family members visiting today, there were a few well-known Contract Masters, including Hu Li, Fang Cen, and a Level 2 Dual-System Contract Master named Wen Xin. They had similar statuses and naturally sat together.

Bai He and the other family members surrounded the three, their words filled with obvious flattery. Hu Li, Fang Cen, and Wen Xin were long accustomed to this atmosphere, accepting the praise of others with ease, their conversation punctuated by occasional laughter.

Luo Jie was also present today. Though he had little contact with Zhang Cheng, he disdained his behavior. His purpose for coming was the same as Feng Ling's, just to go through the motions. He glanced at Hu Li, then at Luo Bi sitting next to Feng Ling, raising an eyebrow. "Aren't you going to join everyone else?"

He asked this intentionally, not genuinely wanting Luo Bi to go over. Those who knew her well knew that Luo Bi had a twisted mind; if she went over, trouble might ensue again. Luo Jie didn't want a repeat of the last fight involving his wife.

Luo Bi looked at Luo Jie, a mocking smile on her lips, but didn't answer immediately.

Lan Ze, who was drinking tea nearby, had come alone. His wife, An Jing, studied quietly at the Imperial Star Contract Master Academy and rarely came to the Zhihuang Star military base. Luo Jie's words clearly reminded him of the last fight, and his gaze towards Luo Bi was not friendly.

The bruises on his wife An Jing's face had taken a long time to fade, all thanks to this woman.

Feng Ling, sitting opposite Lan Ze, noticed the unfriendly look Lan Ze gave Luo Bi. He met Lan Ze's gaze with a casual, half-smiling expression. Times had changed; Luo Bi was now his wife, and no one could bully her.

Lan Ze still had to give Feng Ling some face and retracted his gaze.

Only then did Luo Bi respond, "I prefer quiet; too much noise gives me a headache."

Luo Bi was well aware of what these men thought of her. Knowing they had prejudices against her, how could she possibly join the crowd? It would be fine if everyone got along, but if someone started a verbal spat and blamed her, what then?

Luo Jie, having been warned by Feng Ling, smiled ambiguously and stopped focusing on Luo Bi. He turned to talk to Feng Ling about the first mission of the First Squadron. He wanted Luo Bi to listen, thinking, "The men are out fighting beasts, while you're at home causing trouble with the star currency furnace. How shameful?"

Pei Yu returned from the balcony, her brows furrowed with worry, as if she had something to say to her husband, Yang Yu. She opened her mouth but ultimately didn't speak, sitting back down next to Luo Bi.

"What's wrong?" Luo Bi asked.

Pei Yu sighed, "The rain is too heavy. If it keeps up, we'll have to go drain the planting fields. It's been raining for a while now, and I'm worried about the crops."

"I often see you come back with farming tools. Do you have a planting field outside?" Luo Bi asked.
