"Yiqiu, we"re busy with the preparations for the a.s.sessment of the Flying Dragon Special Forces. Why are we wasting our time here?" A warm and gentle voice asked with a hint of curiosity.

"Su Pei, although we want to enter the Flying Dragon Special Forces, we can"t let them govern our lives forever," a lazy voice was heard from the handsome young man on a sofa. The fingers on his right hand were dancing in the air. A silver light flickered faintly on his fingers. "Don"t be too nervous. It might affect your performance. It"s better to play hard and work hard."

These two people were Ling Lan"s schoolmates during her mission on Planet Azure more than a year ago. They were Su Pei and Xiao Yiqiu.

Su Pei scoffed in response. "No matter how much you need to relax, you shouldn"t have come to the casino, right?" He was fooled into coming here by Xiao Yiqiu. When they were deliberating on what to do for their holiday, he was told by Xiao Yiqiu that they were going to a faraway planet to have a short break from the military.

Xiao Yiqiu laughed. "What is a better place to relieve your stress?"

"That is kinda true." Su Pei thought and his anger of being fooled slowly died down. Plus, he knew Xiao Yiqiu wouldn"t harm him so there must be a reason why he wanted them to come to a well-known gambling hub.

"Did you bring me here to watch the mecha tournament?" Su Pei asked.

Although their mecha piloting had improved significantly, battling in the virtual world and battling in the real world was vastly different, and they had both reached a bottleneck in the former. They now needed more experiences in real battle or gain experiences from monitoring other people"s battles to improve their skills. If not, they wouldn"t be able to achieve a breakthrough for a very long time. This was what caused Su Pei to feel agitated about their lack of preparedness for the a.s.sessment.

Xiao Yiqiu clenched his right fist in happiness and smiled brightly, "Su Pei, you finally noticed it."

"However, that"s not all." Xiao Yiqiu changed his tone. "We"re partic.i.p.ating in it too."

Su Pei frowned. "Yiqiu, what do you mean?" The Su family forbade their descendants from gambling.

Xiao Yiqiu knew the rules of the Su family very clearly so he understood why Su Pei was acting up. He smiled and explained, "I won"t make you break rules. Here, take a look at this."

He flicked his fingers and a small black plate flew towards Su Pei.

Su Pei grabbed the black plate easily. He opened his hand and saw that it was a miniature chip. Without needing Xiao Yiqiu to say a word, Su Pei gently inserted the chip into his communicator and an image of an invitation slowly appeared in front of him.

The words on the invitation stunned Su Pei so he took a while to react. His entire body started trembling in anger. He was planning to hold his anger in but he could no longer control his anger anymore. He turned around and shouted angrily, "Xiao Yiqiu!"

A leather whip materialized in his hands and it slashed towards Xiao Yiqiu who was lying lazily on the sofa.

The whip slashed the sofa forcefully. A deep scar formed on the sofa. But, Xiao Yiqiu was not there.

"Su Pei, don"t be angry. I"m partic.i.p.ating too. Take it as if you"re accompanying me." Xiao Yiqiu quickly slammed his door shut after he finished saying his piece.

Su Pei looked at the closed door helplessly. The mainframes in Mai"er Fa were very advanced. Even in the same suite, if the door was closed by the person inside the room, the people outside the room would never be able to open it. There were only two ways to open a closed door either opening it by force or by hacking into the mainframe. However, doing any of these two actions would be seen as a provocation towards Mai"er Fa. They would be punished accordingly.

Su Pei couldn"t vent his frustrations at Xiao Yiqiu anymore. He looked at the electronic invitation again and smiled bitterly. He didn"t expect Xiao Yiqiu to be so bold. He actually went to partic.i.p.ate in the mecha tournament and while doing so, his good friend also helped him to register.

That"s right, this invitation was for the mecha tournament on Mai"er Fa. Su Pei and Xiao Yiqiu wouldn"t be spectators this time. They were partic.i.p.ants.

After Xiao Yiqiu hid inside his room, he retracted his smile before it turned into a cold sneer.

"The game is starting!"

The next day, the two young miss didn"t stay in the casino. They came to the biggest trading center in Mai"er Fa for shopping. Ling Lan followed beside them quietly. She was the human shopping bag holder for Miss Seven.

"This, this and this. Pack them up for me." An arrogant voice resounded through the entire shop. Miss Seven looked over curiously.

It was a handsome young man. Of course, in this era, no one looked bad. The young man noticed people frowning at him, and he, in turn, glared at them. When he saw Miss Seven and her group, the arrogance on his face disappeared and instead was replaced with an expression of surprise.

The young man rushed towards Li Yinfei and said in an excited but deep voice, "Miss Li."

It wasn"t a question. It was a statement. Although Li Yinfei had put on a disguise, she was unable to fool people with sharp eyes.

There were two men hovering behind the young man. When they saw Li Yinfei and Miss Seven, they held their foreheads in their palm helplessly and muttered, "Trouble."

Ling Lan looked at the two people behind the young men. Her innocent smile froze too. In her heart, a word popped out: Trouble.

Li Yinfei seemed used to such a situation. She smiled and nodded as a reply.

The young man seemed rash but he was very thoughtful. He knew that exposing his idol now would cause trouble for her so he didn"t make any other sound. He just stayed beside Li Yinfei excitedly. It seemed like no one would be able to pull him away.

"Cough, Young Master Lin, Chief Lin is waiting for you." Mu Chaoran coughed to remind his stubborn young master who was enchanted by beauty.

When Tang Ningyu saw Miss Seven, he immediately hid among the crowd. If his ident.i.ty got exposed by his cousin, his plan would go down the drain.

Since Tang Ningyu wasn"t here, Mu Chaoran had to persuade the young master himself. They were Chief Lin"s a.s.sistants so only the two of them were able to hold this stubborn young master back.

"It"s still early. There"s no need to go back so soon." Young Master Lin replied impa.s.sively. He turned around and looked at Li Yinfei. His att.i.tude turned a 180. "It"s my pleasure to meet Miss Li here. This must be fate. How about this? You can get whatever you want. Take it as my gift to you."

Li Yinfei frowned when she saw Young Master Lin"s att.i.tude. He acted like someone who suddenly became rich overnight.
