Every step the competitors took would be enlarged and broadcast live. The other competitors’ techniques had already been seen in previous competitions, so this time most of the crowd’s attention was on Xue Ling, and the officials in charge also showed more screens of him.
But as a result, the screen was filled with frenzied comments from his fans. If viewers didn’t make any adjustments, they wouldn’t be able to see Xue Ling’s face at all, let alone his methods.

Of course, other than those coming to lick his face, there was also another group of fans who were there to see his technique. They could analyze whether his methods were superior or not based on his movements, but in the end there was nothing they could criticize. After all, Xue Ling’s movements were too accurate and effective, and they could not pick out any flaws. Eventually, they could only shut up and express their admiration for Xue Ling.
After studying for half a month, Xue Ling could not possibly be more clear about how to sculpt a SSS Grade energy crystal. Every step he took seemed to have been measured precisely as Xue Ling purified the energy in the crystal to exactly match with the pattern of the ring he wanted to create, ensuring the energy was condensed in the parts that he would need, while the sections he planned to chip away had no energy left.
The audience could see every small action that Xue Ling took during the sculpting process through the zoomed-in lens. One after another, they turned into Xue Ling’s fans, and for many people, how loudly they had shouted ‘this shady piece of trash should get lost’ was directly proportional to how much it hurt to be figuratively slapped in the face.
Of course, it was not that there was no competition at all, but their opponent had a SSS Grade energy crystal and the ability to make perfect use of the stone. Victory or defeat was no longer full of suspense.
Xue Ling successfully obtained the Senior Sculptor’s qualification certificate, and at the same time, announced to the entire Star Net that another Senior Sculptor was now on the rise.
Once again, his past and present identity was pulled out and dissected by others. How miserable his past was, and how his spiritual powers had originally been damaged by his damned stepmother. But he was still able to become so strong now, which showed how hard he worked and how high his original potential had been.
This was a world where strength ruled supreme. As long as he proved his ability, no matter how fast he got ahead or how short the events leading up to his promotion were, his brainless fans and some experts and scholars would always be able to find a way to help him convince others of his strength.

The strong would not be doubted. After all, their strength was there for everyone to see, and any doubt would become simple and fragile in the face of absolute strength.
When the competition and award ceremonies were over, Xue Ling stepped down from the stage and was almost blocked by frenzied fans. Fortunately, Yin Jia had already been on guard against this and called over his personal escort to bring them out into the aircraft.
Nobody dared to confront the Marshal at this moment. Everyone also had to re-evaluate the Marshal’s Palace, and think about how they could get close to Xue Ling. After all, the Marshal’s Palace was not an easy place to enter. If Xue Ling stayed there all day long, they would really have no way to get in.
Mu Xi had already prepared a celebration banquet for them back at the mansion. Yin Jia even let the guards stay behind to eat. Xue Ling had not returned to the Marshal’s Palace for a long time now and had really missed the food there. He ate a little too much, and only felt a little more comfortable after going back upstairs to shower. He brought out today’s work and prepared to make a move on Yin Jia.

He had already been in this world for over half a year. It was about time for a breakthrough in his relationship with Yin Jia. Xue Ling did not intend to slowly grind away the time until adulthood with Yin Jia; right now, he particularly wanted to let everyone else who was thinking those messy things, who wanted him to be their son, to stop dreaming.
It wasn’t that he was anxious, but everything he needed to achieve had already been done. Xue Ling only needed to consider himself now, and wanted to properly settle into a relationship.
Simply based on his and Yin Jia’s identities, if they really started a relationship, based on identity alone it would be a very big problem. But this world did not stipulate that an adoptive son cannot be with their adoptive father, and he believed that Yin Jia would not care about these things either, so he was ready to let loose and clear these things up with his Lord Father.
He was tired of all the guessing back and forth.
Yin Jia seemed to have some official business to deal with. He was busy with his work when Xue Ling came to him wearing a bathrobe. Xue Ling didn’t say anything else, and simply dropped his entire body onto the sofa in Yin Jia’s study. His movements were incredibly gorgeous, and seemed to accidentally expose his long, slender legs. He put on his nano-computer in the form of a pair of virtual glasses, and then jumped into the virtual world to play games.
Yin Jia’s gaze lingered on him for a good while before he finally turned his head and meditated to calm down.
But he capitulated in the end. After being stuck at a stalemate for half an hour, Yin Jia pulled the person on the sofa into his embrace.
Xue Ling felt that someone outside was touching him, so he quit the game and removed his glasses. He raised his gaze to look up at Yin Jia, who had covered his legs with the bathrobe. “You shouldn’t dress like this no matter how high the temperature is. What if you catch a cold?”
Xue Ling blinked, then his lips curved as he laughed and asked, “Is this all father has to say?” He lifted himself up and pretended to leave Yin Jia’s arms. “If that’s all, we have nothing to talk about.”
Yin Jia tugged on his hand and pulled him back, then bowed his head to kiss Xue Ling on his forehead. He spoke helplessly, “What else can I say when you’re dressing like this to provoke me?”

Xue Ling spoke cheerfully, “Don’t say anything, and just do it?”
Yin Jia wanted to, but… “Behave. You’re not an adult yet. I won’t touch you.” He reached for Xue Ling’s somewhat oversized bathrobe. “No matter what you might be thinking, don’t do this kind of thing again. I’ll be angry.”
Xue Ling wondered out loud, “Is it bad for me to do this?”
Yin Jia’s face was full of helplessness. “Yun’er, I don’t know what you’re doing this for, but I want to let you know that I don’t despise you. You deserve better; I should offer up the best of everything and hold it up in front of you. You don’t have to worry that the Marshal’s Palace will abandon you, and you don’t need to do this… in order to please me… Even if you don’t like me, you won’t be separated from the Marshal’s Palace in your life. I will protect you under my wings forever.”
