Ruan Shu carefully preserved the first letter she had received in her two lifetimes.
If they were to meet again by fate, she also wanted to give him a gift.
Upon reflecting on the three words "good friend" written in the letter, Ruan Shu's heart brimmed with joy.
She had a friend now, and she was so happy!
Originally sitting upright, Ruan Shu's joy caused her to lift her short legs and smile with soft, curved eyes.
In the shadows, the knight watched as the child took the letter and thought, "So sweet!"
How could there be such a well-behaved child in the world!
Thinking about how the Emperor used to cause chaos and destruction, this child was simply an angel!
How did the Emperor find such a child to be friends with? Hopefully, she won't be bullied in the future.
After completing his mission, the knight left without Ruan Shu noticing.
At that moment, she was happily fiddling with the terminal, longing for her father to add her new friend.
Within the Third Army of the military…
Since yesterday, Ruan Xiao had not rested. After leading the army to eliminate the advanced insect race attempting to approach the main star domain, he was immediately taken for a mental health evaluation and prescribed suppressants.
"Marshal, your mental contamination is already very severe." "You can no longer use your mental powers in the future!" The military doctor warned with a serious expression.
Ruan Xiao responded indifferently.
The doctor was angered by his attitude and demanded, "Give me the suppressant he used last time."
"This is it," the doctor replied.
Is there any difference?!
After taking the suppressant, Ruan Xiao pinched his brow, enduring the waves of pain in his mind as he left.
He still maintained his expressionless demeanor, and no one could tell the state of his body from his expression.
Using mental powers less could reduce the degree of mental contamination, but there were some situations that no one could control.
"Marshal," the deputy looked at him with concern.
Ruan Xiao raised his hand to stop him, "I'm going to the training room; none of you should follow."
Under the worried gazes of the deputy and his subordinates, he walked alone to the training room, shielding himself from everyone's view.
By this time, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his complexion was much paler than before.
"Ugh..."
The tall man knelt on one knee, with blue veins appearing on his forehead and arms like earthworms, looking quite frightening.
His head felt like it was being struck by a sharp object, with a tearing sensation. If it were anyone else, they might have already screamed in pain or rolled on the ground, but he only let out a short, muffled groan and continued to endure.
Ruan Xiao's deep blue eyes constantly shifted between his pupils and the eyes of a wild and fierce beast. In an instant, the individuals in the training room had morphed into a massive and incredibly aggressive beast.
The intense mental power surging through his mind felt like sharp knives tearing at his nerves, driving the massive beast to destroy everything around it.
The gravity in the training room was set to the maximum, yet it still took three hours to deplete his strength.
When the beast had no more strength, he gasped for air and returned to his human form. The entire training room had already been destroyed.
"Marshal!" The deputy and others opened the door to the training room and took the unconscious Ruan Xiao to the hospital.
Coincidentally, it was the first hospital.
Ruan Qingran had just finished a surgery and went to see him as soon as she received the news.
"His mental powers are extremely unstable; give him another suppressant," she ordered.
"But the Marshal just took a suppressant when he returned," someone objected.
"Listen to me," Ruan Qingran's tone allowed no room for refusal.
Soon, a high-level suppressant was introduced.
Ruan Qing believed that her younger uncle's willpower would be able to endure, but the mental contamination...
This was a problem that no one could solve at the moment.
By the time Ruan Xiao's condition had barely stabilized, it was already dark outside.
"Oh no!" Ruan Qingran suddenly changed her expression, realizing that she had forgotten about her little cousin.
"You can't enter here, please leave," she told the guards outside the door.
Outside the door, Gu Feixing held the unconscious Ruan Shu and spoke with the guards.
"We won't go in, but could you please help us call Ruan Qingran?" We have called him several times, but he has not answered. His little cousin has been waiting for him for a long time, and she has been crying.
At that moment, Ruan Shu's eyes were red, with tears hanging from her eyelashes, making her look very pitiful and choked up.
The guard hesitated, "Wait here. I'll go call Dr. Ruan."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ruan Qingran had already come out of the ward.
Gu Feixing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her come out.
The sight of this fragile little girl, crying silently, was even more distressing than if she had been loud and noisy.
She wanted to find her brother, but no one could comfort her. That's why she brought her here to find him.
"Brother, wuwuwu… Brother," Ruan Shu almost collapsed towards him as soon as Ruan Qingran appeared.
Her tears, which had already stopped, couldn't be controlled, and fell again as she shook her head while sobbing.
"I... "I don't want to cry, but my eyes won't listen," Ruan Shu complained tearfully and helplessly.
"Have you eaten?" Ruan Shu nodded obediently, "Gu brother took Shu Shu out to eat."
Ruan Qingran looked at the little rice ball in her arms and then at Gu Feixing.
"Thank you for today," she said.
Gu Feixing was taken aback, feeling honored that the aloof and distant male god had actually thanked him!
"Hehehe… You're welcome." "I'm happy to take little Shu Shu out to eat," he said, feeling proud as he noticed the envious looks of many people.
"Dr. Ruan," the Marshal has woken up. Please come and see!
The Marshal.
Upon hearing these two words, Ruan Shu suddenly shivered and looked into the room with wide, watery eyes.
Was it her father? Her father was the marshal.
Ruan Qingran sighed, unable to hide his feelings any longer.
"Brother, is it Dad?" She asked cautiously, her voice tinged with urgency.
"Don't worry, your uncle is fine."
It really was her father!
How could Ruan Shu not be anxious? She was almost frantic.
"What's wrong with Dad?" "Brother, please take me to see Dad."
Seeing the little one about to cry again, Ruan Qingran had no choice but to take her inside.
The guard at the door was puzzled. Is she the Marshal's daughter?
How did they not know that the Marshal had a daughter?!!
As Ruan Shu entered the ward, her eyes immediately fell on the familiar figure. But in just over a day, her father looked so haggard and pale.
