Chapter 206: Shrewdness

Translator: Double_LEditor: Hitesh_

Without a doubt, Li Shimin was a fine young man. Not only was he the top-notch elite amongst the younger generation of Earth Confederation, he was also a well-disciplined person who had zero negative news about him. Wu Xin had met him a few times and noticed that the young man was polite, confident and wasn’t as arrogant as those boys from rich families, not to mention Li Shimin had never caused any troubles during his training days in the military base.

Such a fine gentleman!

Wu Xin then summoned Samantha into the room right after Li Shimin left. This time however, Ma Dutian halted his restless wife from her series of interrogations.

”Sam, people from House of Li told me that Xiaoru’s EMF isn’t very stable. I want to know why. In fact, I’m sure you that you know what’s been troubling her, so please tell me everything so that I don’t have to go find out by myself.” Ma Dutian said with a solemn face. Although this dominator of Earth Confederation’s economy wasn’t a top-notch fighter, yet he did have an irresistible majesty.

Nevertheless, Samantha knew that this would happen someday, and she was in the dilemma of telling the truth or not.

”Sam, you’re the closest person to Xiaoru. I know she’d definitely tell you all of the things that she wouldn’t want to let the both of us know. So tell me, who bullied Xiaoru?” Wu Xin had been a hot-tempered lady since she was young, and even though her temper had become better after marrying Ma Dutian, still she would go ”berserk” if she found out that her precious daughter was bullied by someone else. Back then, Wu Xin was very popular in school, and almost all of her admirers got their asses kicked after getting rejected. Yet somehow, she ended up fancying the average looking Ma Dutian, who at that time was still hiding his identity as the successor of House of Ma.

”Nothing much happened recently, but I think there’s only one thing that would affect Xiaoru...” Samantha replied with a simplified version of the story, mentioning that Ma Xiaoru fell in love with a boy in Ayrlarng, yet the boy only treated her as a friend.

Wu Xin was pissed off before Samantha could finish her words, ”That sonuvab*tch, how dare he treat Xiaoru like that? Find him! I’mma kick his ass!”

Ma Dutian looked at his wife and said, ”Calm down honey, we can’t force someone to fall in love with our daughter anyway. Sorry for taking your time, Sam. I’m sure you’re very busy at the moment. Don’t worry about Xiaoru, I’ll keep you updated.”

”I’d like to stay, uncle. Right now, Xiaoru is more important than the other stuff.”

”Samantha, you’re not a kid anymore. Hence, you should learn what’s important and what’s not. Don’t worry, the Elder from House of Li is with us. I’m sure it’ll be fine.” Ma Dutian insisted, hence Samantha had no choice but to compromise.

”Remember what you’ve promised in the beginning. So far, you’ve been doing a good job, but from now onwards, you’ll be facing a tough road ahead. So be prepared!” Ma Dutian gave Samantha a solemn advice.

After Samantha left, Wu Xin and Ma Dutian were the only ones in the room, then Wu Xin crossed her arms and stared at Ma Dutian, ”Looks like you know something, my dear husband. Why don’t you be a good boy and spill it all out for your beautiful wife here? Don’t say I didn’t warn you!”

The manly Ma Dutian instantly became a timid little man as soon as his wife said that. In fact, Wu Xin would behave like an obedient wife who stayed behind her husband whenever there were outsiders around. But when there was no one else, Wu Xin would become the boss.

”Relax my dear wife, I’ll tell you whatever you want to know. Calm down.” Ma Dutian said with a wry smile.

”Hmph! Tell me, who on earth had the balls to upset our dear daughter?”

”Well, it’s just a small matter amongst youngsters...”

”Cut the crap and just tell me everything, and don’t you dare hide anything from me, unless you prefer to have your bones broken today!” Wu Xin threatened Ma Dutian while pulling one of his ears.

”Alright, alright, his name is Wang Tong, Xiaoru fancied him but the kid fancied Samantha. Aside from that, Xiaoru also had another love rival named Zhou Sisi. Actually, this was just a small matter that triggered the instability of her EMF after achieving a great advancement in her tactics. Now that I’ve told you everything, promise me not to release your anger on the other kids, okay?” Ma Dutian said with a smile.

”Hmph, you think this is a joke?” Wu Xin was pissed off. No wonder Samantha acted like she was trying to hide something from her just now. Yet, even though Wu Xin was hot-tempered, she was not an unreasonable person.

”Don’t worry too much my dear, it’s just puppy love. Instead, we should be worried if they were mingling with each other.”

Wu Xin began to calm down, then said, ”Oh, by the way, I think Li Shimin is a good kid, and it seemed like he’s interested in Xiaoru as well. Wouldn’t it be a match made in heaven if the two of them got together?”

”Let’s see how it goes, honey. As you know, both Houses are still being targeted by the public. If there’s another marriage between both families, we would definitely become the enemies of the state. Most importantly, Xiaoru is similar to you, she has no interest in boys from rich families at all.” Ma Dutian gazed passionately at his wife.

”You and your sweet talk. So, what are we gonna do next? Going back would only make Xiaoru even more upset.”

”I’m sure the people from House of Li have already found a solution for that.” Ma Dutian replied calmly, ”Since Xiaoru’s condition has gotten better, I think it’s time to see what’s their suggestion for this.”

The Elder from House of Li’s advice was to seal off Ma Xiaoru’s memories of her past months at Ayrlarng, and transfer her to Capth immediately. She would be taken care of by Li Ruo-Er in Capth, and at the same time, helped out with her tactics of the Enchantress.

”Sealing off memories? Would it have any side effects?” Wu Xin seemed worried.

The Elder who was in his forties gently shook his head and said, ”This is the safest way to handle her Soul Energy fluctuations. Xiaoru’s memories would be released after her Level Five tactics and EMF had settled down. It would be just like having a dream, and wouldn’t cause any harm to her body.”
