I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Although she was used to Huo Linyuan's encouragement, hearing him say this still made Qi Yan feel relieved.

After entering the event venue, adopters with their little mermaids came to say hello.

Because she didn't want to behave differently from the other mermaids, Qi Yan kept a wooden face, wide eyes, and tried hard to make a silly expression.

After a while, he felt his whole face was stiff and his eyes were a little sore.

Huo Linyuan tried his best to choose areas with fewer people, but he would still meet a few acquaintances occasionally.

"Marshal, how are you? This is your little mermaid. She is so beautiful."

A middle-aged man came over holding a fish tank.

Qi Yan's facial expression, which had just been relaxed, immediately turned into a dazed look again when he saw the person coming.

In the other person's fish tank was a mermaid with red and white patterns and a large tail fin, a bit like a butterfly-tail goldfish.

The little mermaid seemed very happy to see Qi Yan. She swung back and forth in the fish tank, grabbing the ground with her hands, as if she wanted to swim to Qi Yan.

In comparison, Qi Yan's reaction was much calmer.

"Lieutenant Kuloy, how are you?" Huo Linyuan nodded slightly.

Chloe smiled cheerfully: "Don't call me Lieutenant. I have retired from the army now. Since my mental strength was damaged, my condition has been getting worse day by day."

"Thanks to the old marshal's kindness, I can now spend my old age in peace. I thought that this was all I would live out my life like, but I didn't expect Xinghe to revive the mermaid."

"Although it's just a lifelike mermaid, you know what, just looking at it makes me feel much more relaxed."

Huo Linyuan glanced at the other party's little mermaid and said, "That's good."

Chloe used to be the bodyguard of Huo Linyuan's grandfather, but was later transferred to the logistics unit because of mental injuries.

Seeing that Qi Yan didn't react, the little mermaid became even more excited. She kept clapping the fish tank with her hands and making "ah ah" sounds with her mouth.

Chloe smiled helplessly and said, "It seems that Jingjing likes your little mermaid very much."

Jingjing is a very lively mermaid. After seeing Qi Yan, she was obviously excited to see a companion.

On the contrary, Qi Yan was a little overwhelmed by its enthusiasm.

At this moment, Jun Yan walked over from a distance.

"I didn't have time to greet you last time. Marshal, are you doing well?" Jun Yan said with a smile.

As he said this, he glanced at Chloe and said apologetically: "Did I bother you two?"

Seeing that the other party seemed to have something to discuss with Huo Linyuan, Kuroi tactfully left the place for the two of them: "You are joking. Since the Marshal has something to do, please excuse me and leave first."

Huo Linyuan nodded, then looked at Jun Yan: "It's OK, how are you?"

Seeing this mysterious man again, Qi Yan couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

Coincidentally, Jun Yan also noticed him at this time.

When Jun Yan saw Qi Yan for the first time, he was slightly stunned.

Qi Yan felt somewhat uncomfortable being stared at by him, and swam to the other side seemingly unintentionally to avoid the burning gaze.

This person's eyes seemed to see through Qi Yan.

Huo Linyuan was somewhat displeased and turned slightly to remind the other party to restrain himself.

Jun Yan came back to his senses and coughed lightly as if to cover up: "I wonder what the relationship between this mermaid and the marshal is?"

Seeing that the other party seemed to be interested in Qi Yan, Huo Linyuan frowned: "This seems to have nothing to do with Mr. Jun."

Hearing Huo Linyuan's cold and distant tone, Jun Yan didn't take it to heart. Instead, he became more concerned about Qi Yan.

"If the Marshal doesn't mind, could you please let me have this little mermaid? I'm willing to use it..."

Before he could finish his words, he felt a violent mental force coming towards him.

Jun Yan was somewhat helpless. He did not expect Huo Linyuan to launch a direct mental attack on him. If he had not had protective equipment on him, he would probably have been injured by now.

However, this also made him realize the position of the little mermaid in Huo Linyuan's heart.

Jun Yan realized that he could not get what he wanted, so he made a gesture of admitting defeat and said apologetically: "A gentleman does not take away what others like. I apologize for what I said just now."

"I hope Mr. Jun can remember what I said today." After leaving this sentence, Huo Linyuan turned around and left.

Jun Yan looked at his back, his eyes suddenly becoming unfathomable.

After a long while, he opened the terminal and sent a message: Ali, I seem to have found...

Today, he originally came to discuss with Huo Linyuan about investing in the mermaid project.

Others may not know the relationship between the Vincent family and the Huo family, but Jun Yan knows it very well.

I thought I could reach a cooperation agreement based on our past friendship, but now it seems to have had the opposite effect.

Sure enough, Jun Yan received a rejection from Ai'er not long after.

However, Jun Yan was not too disappointed because he had found something that he cared about.

-

After leaving the corridor, Huo Linyuan kept a gloomy face, so that his aura of "keep away from strangers" became stronger.

As a result, people passing by were afraid to come forward and say hello.

It was the first time that Qi Yan saw him angry, and she couldn't help but use her mental power to circle his hand.

Huo Linyuan looked down at him, the coldness in his eyes faded a little.

Since today's purpose was just to let Qi Yan show up in front of the public, now that the goal had been achieved, Huo Linyuan took him out of the backstage and went directly to the top floor of Xinghe.

In the lounge, Qi Yan could finally ask the questions in her mind.

"Who is that Jun Yan?"

"He was once a partner of the Huo family and is an old acquaintance of mine," Huo Linyuan said.

In fact, the relationship between Jun Yan and the Huo family cannot be explained in a few words.

In the past, Jun Yan had provided help to the Huo family more than once. Simply put, the relationship between the two was more like friends than enemies.

But Jun Yan has always done what he wants, been both good and evil, and never participated in political struggles.

Therefore, we cannot simply identify them as being on the same side as the military or the Huo family.

After Huo Linyuan's introduction, Qi Yan roughly understood Jun Yan's identity.

At this moment, he was lying on the table covered with a moisturizing film, with Huo Linyuan's hand beside him.

Qi Yan placed her hand on his fingers: "Don't be angry, okay."

Although Qi Yan also didn't like Jun Yan's gaze, he could feel that the other party had no ill intentions.

More importantly, he didn't want Huo Linyuan to get angry over such a trivial matter, as it would make him worried.

Huo Linyuan gently squeezed his little hand and smiled faintly: "Okay."

Seeing this, Qi Yan smiled sweetly in return.

At this time, Huo Linyuan's terminal rang.

It was a video message from Ling Qing.

In the screen, Ling Qing and Anita were sitting side by side, behind them was the central control desk of the 12th Army's headquarters command room.

Because Qi Yan had hatched, Huo Linyuan's original plan to go to the mining planet was delayed.

At this time, there happened to be some problems on the mining star, so after the crisis on the star was resolved, Zoe temporarily returned to the mining star.

Anita went to Motiya to assist Ling Qing in his place.

This was the first time Qi Yan met them after she broke out of her shell.

"Brother Ling, Anita, hello."
