”But mom, I wanna hang around Sam. People in House of Li are too strict. They make me uncomfortable.”

”Haha, don’t worry. Ruo-Er is an energetic and happy-going girl. More importantly, your condition is still unstable after your EMF reached Level Five, and Ruo-Er will be able to take care of you in Capth.”

”Oh? How come I have no idea about my tactics reaching Level Five? Was it a blessing from that accident?” Ma Xiaoru immediately checked on her EMF after hearing about that, and it was definitely a sudden surprise.

”Calm down, you don’t have to rush. Right now, you need to rest. Are you hungry my dear? You want mommy to get you anything?”

”Cool, I’m starving mom. I missed your food!”

Meanwhile, Ma Dutian was having a conversation with another man dressed in a black outfit.

”Do you think it’s coincidence, or perhaps there was something wrong with her tactics?”

”There was nothing wrong with her tactics, probably she was just being careless during the progress of her tactics advancement. Judging from the reactions of the people from House of Li, it seemed like they really didn’t expect milady would be able to advance to Level Five within such a short period of time. Yet, I have a feeling that Li Ruo-Er did know about this after her duel against milady. Nevertheless, those are only my speculation. After all, they are only kids.”

”Kids huh...” Ma Dutian looked solemn, ”Hmph, yet this happened right on the day that we got our hands on the new technology. My guts are telling me that Li Taoche was particularly interested in on our latest VZPE Battery.”

”Don’t you think it’s too dangerous to send milady to Capth?”

Ma Dutian shook his head, ”That’s the safest place since it’s one of the areas of House of Li. They’ll be held responsible if anything happens. I won’t let them get away with it!”

Anyone that messed with House of Ma and infuriated Ma Dutian would never be able to get away unharmed!

”What do you think about Li Shimin?”

”Better than his old man.” The man in black outfit commented.

Ma Dutian closed his eyes and said nothing. Again, he was different from his timid character that got bullied by Wu Xin a while ago.

After Ma Dutian ended the conversation, the man in black outfit stepped back and walked through a door that suddenly appeared on the wall. The door vanished as soon as the man disappeared.

Rumors had it that House of Ma’s Sky Mansion was filled with secrets, as new technologies would emerge every couple of decades…

Honestly, Ma Xiaoru’s transfer didn’t affect Ayrlarng very much as her role in promoting Ayrlarng has been done. Moreover, the academy had also improved significantly based on the recent performances of fellow students. In fact, Ma Xiaoru leaving Ayrlarng would also increase the competition amongst students. After all, her uniqueness had overshadowed the other students in the academy.

Right now, Ayrlarng had become the academy of ordinary people.

Nevertheless, this wasn’t made public yet.

”Sam, didn’t you promise to let me help you? Why did you listen to my mom in the end?” Ma Xiaoru was chatting with Samantha through Skynet.

”Miss genius, your sudden advancement to Level Five had shocked everyone in House of Li. So, of course, they’ll prefer you to stay with them at this moment. And since your EMF is still unstable, you should be more careful in your future training, okay?” Samantha advised.

”I’m surprised too, I really didn’t expect that I’ll be able to unlock Level Five after taking a nap. Hehe, I might really be a genius indeed!”

”Xiaoru, promise me you’ll take care of yourself after enrolling in Capth, alright?”

”You sure you don’t need my help, Sam?” Ma Xiaoru was still looking adorable as always. Perhaps she would be happier by forgetting what happened in the past six months.

”Haha, I’m only using your name as a gimmick in order to achieve my goals. Are you trying to ask for an endorsement fee?” Samantha laughed.

”Alright, I’ll listen to mum. But I really hope that I’ll be able to help you, Sam.”

”I still have a few things to handle right now, Xiaoru. I’ll get back to you later, promise.” Samantha felt guilty every time she looked into Ma Xiaoru’s innocent eyes. Samantha felt like she had done the worst thing and broken Ma Xiaoru’s heart.

Samantha remembered the time Ma Xiaoru confessed to her about fancying Wang Tong, yet in the end, she had ”stolen” Wang Tong from her.

Samantha had always been a fearless and honest person, but she was deeply depressed about this matter. Somehow, she even felt ashamed to look at Ma Xiaoru.

As for her story, Samantha told Ma Xiaoru that she had later found someone pretending to be her and helped out Ayrlarng during the time she was unconscious. Fortunately, Ma Xiaoru didn’t participate in any METAL Combat matches during the tournament against Capth. But even if she did participate, they could say it was a stand-in hired by the House of Li. Moreover, people from House of Li would make sure that no one talked about this in the future.
