Chapter 22

In the end, she couldn't help but stomp on Luo Bi's foot: "Why can't Sister Luo Bi think more about the family?"

Luo Yan spared no effort to smear Luo Bi, undoubtedly aiming to ruin her reputation. Once Luo Bi's reputation was tarnished, public opinion would lean more in her favor. Then, if Huachen chose her over Luo Bi, no one would criticize him.

Luo Yan's understanding attitude made Luo Feifan very pleased. He patted her hand and decided not to waste any more effort on Luo Bi. That child was too任性 (willful). He then turned to probe Feng Ling's stance. As long as it could be solved with interstellar currency, he wouldn't be stingy and would give it to him.

Luo Juan had the same idea and went to talk to Feng Ling together. As Luo Juan's good friend, Wen Yao, even though he thought the hope was slim, still tried to persuade Feng Ling to sell it.

Feng Ling smiled and shook his head: "You know that fire-type red jadeite stones of the fourth grade and above are very rare. Obtaining one is entirely a matter of luck. I also need such a stone, so I'm sorry, but I won't sell it."

Feng Ling, unlike Luo Bi, had no need to consider the Luo family. After saying this, he asked Luo Bi: "Do you want to go back?"

Luo Bi had been eager to leave and nodded with an "Ah."

"We'll go first." Feng Ling said, calling Luo Bi to walk out. Guan Zhuting, who had been silent all along, followed behind.

They completely ignored how the others would deal with Luo Yan, who was crying and making a fuss after they left.

Feng Ling's military hovercar was parked in the glass corridor parking lot under the gemstone guild building. While Feng Ling was getting the car, Guan Zhuting called Hua Ran again, only to find out that Luo Hang was rushing over and would arrive soon.

"Your father will be here soon. I'll wait for him. When we meet the old master, we'll probably have to maneuver a bit. You should go back in Deputy Feng's car first." Guan Zhuting said to Luo Bi after hanging up the communication.

Luo Bi was somewhat against her father meeting the old master at this critical moment, frowned, but ultimately said nothing, only instructing: "Remember not to lose out."

At this moment, Feng Ling drove the hovercar over. Luo Bi got in and explained: "We'll go first. My mother wants to stay and wait for my father."

The hovercar drove off, and Feng Ling asked: "Should I take you home?"

Luo Bi didn't answer immediately. Her mood was very complex. After thinking for a moment, she asked: "Is the status of a Contract Master really that high? Can they bully others at will, ignore the laws of the empire, and no one will criticize them for being wrong?"

Feng Ling glanced at her and said: "It has been like this for over 8,000 years since the establishment of interstellar history."

Luo Bi fell silent. She had always found the Contract Master circle too complicated, with too much intrigue and power struggles. She also disapproved of the overly revealing clothing worn by Contract Masters. There were too many things she disapproved of, which was why she had hidden her awakening.

But after facing Luo Yan's arrogant attitude today, she changed her mind. After hiding it for so many years, it was time to test her awakened abilities.

"Take me to the testing center." Luo Bi said.

"The testing center?" Feng Ling was puzzled.

"Yes, I want to test if I have awakened."

Feng Ling didn't speak. No one would bring up their awakening without a reason, especially since Luo Bi had already passed the age of awakening and had not taken any awakening potions. Clearly, this trip to the testing center was unusual.

Despite his many questions, Feng Ling drove straight to the testing center.

The testing center was located in the city center. The testing methods were simple, but the procedures were complex. It mainly included strong gene testing, soul source power testing, and mental power testing, followed by attribute testing, physical testing, and so on...
