13.6 –I’m certain it’s him

Xue Ling couldn’t explain why he had a subconscious fear of Yin Jia. In fact, it couldn’t be considered fear, but more of a subconscious sense of acknowledging allegiance to the other party. After transmigrating through so many worlds, this was the first time he’d had such a reaction. It made Xue Ling very curious; he pulled the system out to inquire about it, but the system had no way to explain it. It only said that this was a reaction caused by Xue Ling himself.

Xue Ling found it very strange. What kind of problem could he have? What kind of problem could it be that would make him want to hug the other party’s thighs when they met?!

Although he was a little indignant, by the time he arrived at the third floor and met Yin Jia’s gaze, he instantly became stifled. His footsteps paused, and he didn’t dare to go up any further, standing on the stairs as he raised his head to look at the Marshal.

The two of them silently looked at each other, and the atmosphere turned awkward. Xue Ling stood there for a long time before finally scratching his head and asking, “Marshal… Is something wrong…”

Yin Jia frowned and emphasized again, “Call me father.”

Xue Ling choked, the corner of his lips twitching slightly. He really wanted to beat this person up, but his power level was absolutely not a match for this person. He could only bow his head and call out again, “Father, what’s wrong?”

Yin Jia was finally satisfied. Although it was impossible to tell if he was satisfied or not from his icy face, he told Xue Ling, “Follow me,” and turned to lead the way. Xue Ling was dazed for a while before hurriedly catching up.

The third floor covered a very large area. Other than the reception room that could be seen from the stairs, the rest of the floor was actually Yin Jia’s private space. Xue Ling was like a small insect who had accidentally wandered into his private quarters, and could only make his way forward carefully, afraid that any small mistake would upset this big Lord, causing him to lift his hand and squish him to death.

Personally, he didn’t really want to go to prison, escape and then become a star pirate. If his man was not that pirate boss, wouldn’t he be making a big loss…?

And Yin Jia was not someone he could escape from just by becoming a pirate! He had only let them off because he hadn’t concerned himself over them. If he really wanted to kill those pirates, ten of those pirate bosses would not be enough for him to slaughter…

System: “Haven’t you considered the possibility that this person might be your man?”

Xue Ling: “…” Oh, that would be rather terrible. He didn’t like this feeling of being pressured and crushed to bits at all! And this time, they had an adoptive father and son relationship!!! It was too shameful to try and implement a strategy for seduction in a setting like this!!!

System: “… So you also understand what ‘shameful’ means…”

Xue Ling: “… Get lost.”

This round of conversation went nowhere, and Yin Jia probably had no idea about what was going on in the brain theatre of the little nurturer who was following behind him. He brought Xue Ling into the study, and then motioned for him to sit down.

Yin Jia was born to the Royal Family and was very accustomed to luxury. Looking at the décor of the entire Marshal’s Palace, it was evident that his taste was simple but luxurious, noble and elegant, but not extravagant. All the facilities and furnishings in the main house tended towards comfort. His study was the place he used the most often for work, but even if it was used for work, he did not skimp on any of the luxuries that would make the study more comfortable. When Xue Ling sat down, he almost stood straight up again. The chair was too soft, and he felt like he would sink into it if he sat down fully.

Seeing that he almost jumped up before slowly sitting back down again, thinking that his movements were secret but totally unaware that every movement of his had been noticed, the hints of a smile flashed across Yin Jia’s eyes. He poured Xue Ling a glass of milk and handed it to him, saying, “Let’s have a proper talk.”

Xue Ling was somewhat overwhelmed by his gesture as he accepted the glass of milk. Although he did not mean to drink it, he still held it, treating it as a hand warmer. “What does Father want to talk to me about?”

Yin Jia seemed very satisfied with how he addressed him and his self-awareness, and no longer stared at him until he panicked. He said, “I am your guardian now. From today onward, I will be your father.” His first sentence served to emphasize the relationship between them.

Xue Ling nodded.

“I already know about the situation between you and the Hao family. I’ll help you deal with their affairs. You won’t have to worry about them in the future. I will help you get back all the companies and houses that once belonged to your mother’s family, and put them under your name.” Yin Jia spoke as though tidying up the Hao family was as simple as crushing an ant. Xue Ling blinked, and wondered in his heart if he really need to be so aggressive, cool and dazzling…

“In addition, if you feel that your previous school was not suitable for you, let me know. I can have you transferred to the Royal College. There aren’t as many chaotic things happening there.” Yin Jia tapped his fingers on the table as he slowly listed out solutions to all the problems Xue Ling had previously encountered in an orderly manner. “I’ve instructed the Royal Family’s exclusive physician to analyse the remnants of the drug in your body, and they should have come up with a targeted recovery program in the next couple of days. Your treatment will be handed over to them; you can rest assured about cooperating with their treatment program.”

Xue Ling opened his mouth and choked out a sentence, “…I don’t want to transfer…”

Yin Jia had only spoken halfway. He paused, and looked up at Xue Ling.

“They can say what they like, and I will do what I want. I have nothing to be embarrassed about that requires me to transfer schools. I hope that I can solve the things that I can deal with by myself.” Although he felt a little stifled in front of this person, the trash at school was not something that could be solved by transferring to another school. Xue Ling did not intend to run away, and even if it was the original owner of this body standing here, he would also choose not to run away. Therefore, his tone of voice was particularly firm, and when he looked at Yin Jia, the determination in his eyes did not seem to be fake.

Yin Jia nodded. “Understood. Since you’ve made up your mind, that’s perfect. But there are rules that you’ll need to follow when dealing with the problem.”

Xue Ling: “…” Wasn’t he a block of ice? How come he had so much to say?!

Mu Xi: “…” Hey hey, although the Marshal has an icy face, he’s not cold at all when he handles things, and he doesn’t treat his words like gold.~
