nAfter the banquet that day, many people came to visit Xi Ning one after another. Most of them were received by Louis, who euphemistically told them that Xi Ning did not like seeing outsiders.

nBut Louis could not stop certain visitors from seeing Xi Ning, such as the president, and Morrison, the president’s eldest son, who also came to visit; and they all brought some gifts, such as cakes or local specialties, all of which Xi Ning asked Louis to accept.

nXi Ning also found that even though Louis was in his sight, he still didn’t want to talk much with other people, and he was often distracted.

nThe president has only visited him once. After Xi Ning was being retrieved, he contacted His Majesty of the Sea Clan and wanted to let Xi Ning personally report to His Majesty the Sea Clan that he was safe now using the communication device, but His Majesty said that there was no need.

nThe attitude of His Majesty Sea Clan disappointed the president a little. It seemed that Xi Ning was not favored in the Sea Palace, but he already assigned one of his favorite sons as his marriage partner.

nHowever, the marriage had already been decided, and His Majesty the Sea Clan also promised to play a part in the confrontation between the Federation and the Beast Clan, which was better than nothing.

nThe last person who came to see Xi Ning was Carl. He was the only person that Xi Ning was willing to see during this period of time.

nCarl came in alone while his subordinates all waited outside the hall. When the servant led him in, Louis poured him a cup of hot tea.

nAfter the servant left, Carl leaned back in the chair in a relaxed manner, raised his chin and said to Louis, “You can have a seat.”

nLouis didn’t keep up his act. He sat down beside Xi Ning and said, “Why do you have time to come here?”

n“I happened to pass by. Can’t I come to see my daughter-in-law?” Carl took a sip from the teacup. “It seems that you are having a good time here.”

nLouis frowned. He wanted to refute this sentence, but Xi Ning was indeed his lover. But if he didn’t refute, wouldn’t he tacitly acknowledge Carl as his father? In the end, he only said, “If the Federal President hears this sentence, it will be troublesome.”

nCarl smiled and didn’t answer. He looked at Xi Ning. “Are you used to living here? It should be better than when you were on the spaceship.”

nXi Ning tilted his head to glance at Louis, and shook his head hesitantly. “No, I like to stay on the spaceship more.”

nCompared to staying in the Federation, he felt more at ease staying with the pirates on the spaceship, and the most important thing was he had more freedom with Louis.

nCarl was stunned when he heard the words, and then smiled. “I insisted on sending you back, you won’t hate me because of it, right?”

nXi Ning hurriedly shook his head. “No…… that was what you ought to do.”

nBesides, Louis can accompany him to the Federal was all thanks to him. Xi Ning was actually grateful to him as he had to rely on Carl to hide the truth for him.

nLouis refuted his words, “If he hates you, can you send us back?”

n“Of course not.” Carl also had his own selfishness. He knew what Louis wanted to do. “Have you figured out how to take His Highness out of the Federation? Do you need me to help you contact your subordinates on the spaceship? Or, you can also consider going back to the General’s Mansion with me.”

nLouis’s plan was exposed, but he was not angry. He smiled and said, “Why are you more anxious than me? Why don’t we exchange our identity, you’ll be a pirate, and I’ll be a general?”

nCarl paused significantly and replied, “Well, it’s not a bad idea.”

nLouis was too lazy to refute him, and Xi Ning didn’t know what to say. Carl quickly got up and wanted to take his leave. As Xi Ning’s servant, Louis still had to see him off outside the hall.

nBefore leaving, Carl took out a small communicator and handed it to Louis, but Louis didn’t reach out to take it.

n“Take it,” he urged, there’s only Carl’s trusted subordinates besides him, “if there is any unexpected situation, you can contact me in time since I can’t come to see you often.”

nThere was still some time before the wedding really started. He was worried about Xi Ning and

nLouis’ circumstances in the federation, but could not arrange for his people to their side in a short period of time, so he used his usual method.

nLouis remained silent for a while, at the end he reached out to take the communicator and replied, “Thank you.”

nIt was the first time that Carl heard him say such words, he felt complicated. He then waved his hand and walked away.

n–

nXi Ning stayed in the Federal Palace for a while, never seeing Morrison again, so the progress of the mission had been stagnant.

nThe system reminded Xi Ning that the divorce period was still about three months away. In the plot of the original book, the killer sent by the Beast Clan wanted to get rid of Morrison when it was near the wedding date, but Xi Ning blocked the fatal blow for Morrison.
