Latent Crisis

  Pu Rui pushed open the door and saw Duan Chu sitting on the edge of the bed with a pale face.

  "Seventh Young Master, are you alright?"

  Duan Chu shook her head, glanced at the dining car, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "Just now, I seemed to hear your voice. Is everything okay?"

  Pures nodded slightly, looking a bit embarrassed: "I must have been startled, I suddenly felt a spiritual probe..." He suddenly paused, thinking that the person in front of him was only eighteen years old and hadn't awakened yet, nor was he a warrior, so how could he know what a spiritual probe was? He couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

  Duàn Chǔ's hand on the bedside table had bulging veins, and he let out a clear "oh" as he asked: "Is it the external release of spiritual power that Lord Bevis mentioned? Will being probed be dangerous?"

  Pu Re didn't expect that Duan Chu had actually talked to Bi Weisi and knew the secret of spiritual force externalization. He thought about how he was called away this morning, and his portable recorder was taken away - could it be that the butler himself came to comfort Seventh Young Master?

  "It's only dangerous if you're attacked by spiritual power. But inside the castle, it's very safe after all, General is a 7th level warrior and there's also Lord Kei." Press became even more respectful.

  I didn't expect that in just a short morning, Seventh Young Master would turn the tables on being bullied by his half-sister. And it was after the cunning Eldest Miss reported him. Regardless of what motives the steward had, at least for now, he still attaches great importance to Seventh Young Master. No wonder comrades said that one can't easily join the struggle within a wealthy family, the changes here are too rapid.

  Pres's change in expression was seen clearly by Duan Chu, although it was a good opportunity to probe further. However, Duan Chu didn't ask any more questions. Regarding the awakening, someone who couldn't become a contractor and had given up on themselves wouldn't be so careless as to discuss such topics with their guardian so quickly, it would easily arouse suspicion. Either they would tell others that they were awakening or announce to the outside world that they had changed.

  "I'm not hungry yet, you go out first. I'll contact you after I've finished eating." Duan Chulian said softly.

  He now has energy stirring inside his body, and there are a lot of things he needs to understand. Especially when the doctor comes later, if he is found to be awake, he will not only be unable to escape from the Duan family, but also lose his freedom forever. It's just unknown whether taking the guided medication now would be too late.

  Pu Re's body stiffened for a moment, and he hesitantly asked: "Young Master Qi, this... seems to be inconvenient? Or should I just wait outside the door?"

  Duan Chu narrowed his eyes, and after a moment's thought, he understood Pres' concerns. He secretly made a mental note that the warriors would not be able to detect the electronic defense network and the stellar network tomorrow. Shaking his head, he rejected Pres' suggestion: "No need, I'll notify you when I enter the internal domain network."

  Pres's eyes widened in astonishment, and he subconsciously wanted to check if his recorder was running smoothly. However, his shoulder felt empty, and he suddenly remembered that he had left the recorder in the third-floor conference room. He covered up the unusual feeling in his heart, nodded, and obediently left the room.

  It turns out that even the seal has been lifted, and no matter how high the position of the housekeeper is, it will not openly violate San Ye's decision, which can only be the intention of the general.

  "Press, what are you thinking?"

  Just as he was about to go down to the collective canteen on the first floor for a meal, Kuniel, who was supposed to serve with him in Duanchu, called out to him.

  "Kunier, it's nothing. I just came out from Seventh Young Master's place." Pres said with a smile, feeling grateful for the reminder earlier. If he had called for a doctor to treat Seventh Young Master last night, Eldest Miss would have definitely shifted all her anger onto him after failing to frame him this time.

  Kunier heard Duan Chu's name and couldn't help but frown. He really couldn't have a good impression of that useless young master. Moreover, Third Madame Bai Jinglan was a high-level pharmacist, and Eldest Miss Duan Yaqing was about to be engaged to the eldest young master of the Meng family, they all disliked Seventh Young Master very much, Pres said it out loud, can't guarantee that the servants or guards who tried to curry favor with them wouldn't be squeezed out.

  "Pres, maybe this task can be transferred out soon, don't be depressed." Kunnel said with a glance at Pres.

  Although Pu Re didn't quite understand what he meant, he nodded in agreement: "The Seventh Young Master's Stellaluna Network has been activated, so we probably won't be needed for much longer."

  Kunier stared at Pres in surprise. That was the star domain network that San Ye had ordered to be shut down, and it hadn't even been a day yet. Who had opened it up again?

  Pres approached quietly and whispered in Quinell's ear. "It is the Grand Steward!"

  Kunier hastily composed himself, regaining his usual calm demeanor. If it was a command from the great general's side, then Seventh Young Master's position was still quite secure. That's right, no matter what, he was still the young master of the Duan family, even if he was a bit useless and weak, but not threatening, so there was no need for Eldest Miss and the others to take any action, perhaps it was a good thing.

  Kunier dragged Pres away, completely unaware that the supposedly high-and-mighty young mistress was so furious she could have skinned the useless young master alive at this very moment.

  "Mom, did you hear that? Grandpa not only opened up the Star Domain Network for him, but also assigned a special doctor to him?" Duan Ya Qing's gentle and quiet demeanor was completely gone at this moment, her eyes filled with crazy hatred. Her delicate hands were tightly grasping the soft, white fur of the Bao Yue Purple Crystal Beast, her sharp fingernails digging into its skin.

  Even if it had sensed the terrifying malice from its master, the delicate and small purple crystal beast remained motionless, allowing the purple blood to seep out, gradually dyeing its white fur purple. A sweet and fragrant aroma began to waft through the air.

  This is also the reason why the Bao Yue Zi Jin Beast has become the most popular pet beast in the Hua Xing galaxy, not only because of its pure white fur without any impurities, but also because it has a special quality that makes even its breathing emit a fragrance, especially the smell of blood. However, due to the rarity and preciousness of the Bao Yue Zi Jin Beast, very few people would be so cruel as to treat them this way.

  Bei Jinglan gazed at her daughter's twisted face, calmly and softly reminding: "Ya Qing, someone who has lost all hope, why are you so concerned about him? Even if there is a doctor who can help, he is still a useless person! As long as Ya Yan finds a suitable partner, life in the interstellar space is full of unexpected events, but everyone knows that."

  "No! Mom, didn't Grandma say he should live a life of luxury? How much longer do I have to endure this?! Especially when this trash dares to threaten me! With Grandpa and Grandma backing him up, he can humiliate me in every way as soon as things don't go his way!" Duan Ya Qing felt like tearing Duan Chu into pieces just thinking about that scene. She took a deep breath and said viciously: "Mom, don't worry, I've already made arrangements with that doctor, I'll make sure his mental strength is completely depleted, leaving him no hope of rising again!"

  Bei Jinglan's face changed, and she suddenly waved her hand, slamming the Bao Yue Zi Jin beast to the ground, angrily scolding: "What are you saying? You actually dare to lay hands on the doctor your grandfather sent! Do you want to ruin your brother?"

  Duan Yaqing was shocked and hastily got up, seeing her mother who had lost her composure. She explained in a nasal tone, "There won't be any problem, he originally took the wrong medicine, it's something everyone knows." After Duan Yaqing finished speaking, her eyes turned red, and she complained about the unease in her heart: "Mom, I'm so scared. Didn't you also receive news from the capital star? Someone can still be in a coma at 25 years old, what if..."

  "No way!" Bei Jinglan said coldly, watching as her daughter began to tear up, and anxiously comforted: "The physical constitution of Earth humans is different from ours on the planet Hua. Moreover, the reason that man needed to awaken for so long was because his spiritual power had almost materialized. And as for Duan Chu, his innate spiritual power was already destroyed by me. Let alone him not being able to awaken, even if he were lucky enough to really awaken, the guiding medicine he privately purchased could also make him a spiritually collapsed waste..."

  "Mom, what are you talking about!" Duan Ya Qing couldn't help but cry out in surprise, her mouth agape and her eyes shining with wild joy: "Isn't that waste's spiritual power value naturally low? And what about that guiding potion..."

  That is to say, even if Duan Churuo was awakened, in the end not only could he not become a contractee, but he might not even be able to stand up. Duan Yaqing had always thought that it was the gods who were helping them, never expecting that it was actually her own mother who had taken action!

  Bei Jinglan saw her daughter blinking her eyes, looking at herself with admiration, and a smile appeared on her face. Her voice also returned to its former warmth: "Of course, Yaqing, how can we entrust our fate to luck? From the day I married into the Duan family, Duan Chu was destined to be a useless person!"

  Hava people can only undergo spiritual power testing after the age of ten, because before the age of ten, minors' spiritual powers have not fully developed. She is a high-level pharmacist and it's too easy for her to take action. Even this time's concentrated agent, she intentionally replaced it just to cut off Duan Chu's possibility of becoming a warrior.

  Meng Jiaxuan is the one she grew up with. If she knew that Duan Chu made such a great sacrifice for him, she would probably really put Duan Chu in her heart. Fortunately, Duan Chu's life is big, otherwise, in order to destroy Duan Chu and sacrifice his son's good future, Bei Jinglan would be the one who vomits to death. Now, it's just letting Duan Chu live for a while longer.

  Duan Ya Qing didn't elaborate, instead she began to advise her daughter: "Ya Qing, what you should focus on now is getting promoted to intermediate pharmacist as soon as possible. Otherwise, a warrior can have one to four concubines or side rooms, and it's fine for now that I'm here, but once you go to the capital planet, being an entry-level pharmacist will be completely unacceptable. If you don't make progress, they'll doubt your talent in pharmacy. And as for the Meng family, they're not someone who can't afford a high-level pharmacist."

  Duan Ya Qing completely regained her composure, and a hint of prudence and self-satisfaction flowed between her eyebrows. She smiled warmly like Bai Jing Lan. "Mom, don't worry, I won't let you down. As for the doctor, I'll ask him to help take good care of Seventh Brother."

  As long as Duan Chu has no chance of turning over, it's nothing to suffer a little temporarily. Who knows, it may even make Meng Jiaxuan feel more pity for him, which would be the greatest blow to Duan Chu. At this moment, Duan Yaqing looked forward to the engagement party even more.

  At this time, on the planet Stras, which was more than a dozen days' journey from Ibiza, Mawi, who had once been proud and arrogant, was now kneeling at the feet of a man with a stern face, his face filled with despair. Beside him, in a crystal coffin, lay a young man as delicate as a painting, seemingly asleep, but whose chest no longer rose or fell.

  "Sheng Ze, two stellar years have passed since then. The Earthling has also been found, but he is already extinct. Let's return to the capital planet immediately and find a suitable matchmaker instead? A 7th-level warrior without a matchmaker can only rely on the high-grade condensed spirit agent allocated by the Queen Mother, which is still very dangerous."
