Louis discovered that he has S-grade spiritual power, and this also meant that he already knew that Chi Zhao was his lifesaver. No wonder he agreed to this marriage so quickly. It was because he wanted to repay him for the favour.
Chi Zhao turned over. He never thought that Louis would come to like him in such a short time. Very soon, he started thinking about something else.
After today's experience, Chi Zhao felt that he probably might not be able to provide the rebels with intelligence.
As soon as he thought this, the system reacted.
[How can you think that?! If you don't give them information, let along completing the plot points, host you will be killed!]
Hearing the system's outburst, Chi Zhao was speechless, "Look at the world you found for me. We have already been together day and night for several decades so shouldn't you know me well enough by now? In the last world, I couldn't kill Li Yihan and this world is asking me to kill tens of millions of people. What makes you think I can do it here?"
[This world wasn't selected by me…..It's random. What's more, you couldn't do it to Li Yihan because you love him. You don't love the people here….]
This had nothing to do with love. Any normal person wouldn't be able to do such a psychotic thing. But speaking of Li Yihan….
Chi Zhao touched his chest. It felt a little empty. Before, when he thought of Li Yihan, he would still feel a little sad but now that they were on this topic, he didn't feel any sadness anymore. It was just a feeling of something missing from his heart. Although it wasn't painful or uncomfortable, it felt very strange.
Chi Zhao then asked, "System, did you do something to me?"
It had only been a few days, not even a month had passed. No matter how strong Chi Zhao's mental fortitude was, it was impossible for him to forget about Li Yihan so quickly. Something like this can no longer be described as having a strong mental fortitude, it was clearly more in line with being heartless!
For a long time, Chi Zhao didn't hear the system speak. His expression darkened, "Speak! I know you're there. Did you think it's going to work playing dead?"
[Umm....]
Chi Zhao: "...And no system maintenance allowed!"
The system froze. After debating between shamelessly going into maintenance mode or confessing, it finally chose the latter.

[I was afraid that you would be affected by the emotions left from the last world and would not be able to complete the task in this world properly so I....filtered your memory.]
Chi Zhao frowned, "What do you mean by filtering my memory?"
[That is, screening through your memories and taking out the emotions, leaving only the memory. But don't worry, I have carefully stored it aside. Once you have gone through a few more worlds and your mental fortitude is strong enough to bear with those emotions, I will surely return it to you!]
So, it was like that. Hearing that it would be returned to him in the future, Chi Zhao was relieved. He was however still a little unhappy, "Do you really have so little trust in me? Maybe I can complete the task very well even without it being filtered."
The system ruthlessly tore apart that notion.
[I still have a recording of you hugging Li Yihan's gravestone while crying. Do you want to see it?]
Chi Zhao: "....No thanks."
With this topic coming to an end, the system asked him what he planned to do if he couldn't bring harm to the innocent.
Chi Zhao laid in bed and narrowed his eyes, "The plot points require that I act it out successfully and not let the plot collapse. The general plot direction should specifically refer to the ending of my character and the protagonist."
Combining it with his experience from the previous world, Chi Zhao noticed that, apart from the protagonist, the system didn't care much about the other people. It was as if only the protagonist was important. He had said that to test his conjecture out so when he heard the system hum in agreement, Chi Zhao was relieved.
"Then that's simple. I will still act out the role of a spy and I will also provide the rebels with intelligence but when I give it to them, I will manipulate it a little to prevent the rebels from succeeding. When Louis leads his troops to attack the rebels, I will leak out Louis's location and left the rebels beat him half to death. At that time, I will tell Louis that I'm a spy. Like this, wouldn't the outcome be the same?"
Sounds like it's very simple….
[But how will you manipulate with it and how will you ensure that Louis will only be beaten half to death instead of being killed?]
Chi Zhao pulled up his quilt and closed his heavy lids, "We'll think about it when the time comes. Wasn't there a saying that goes; when you get to the mountain, there will be a way through? Let's figure it out when we're there."
"I'm sleepy. I'll see you tomorrow."
System: "..." In the end, the host didn't actually know what to do.
Rubbish host! Go eat some jujube pills!
Tonight was a sleepless night. Chi Zhao fell asleep very quickly, but many people lost sleep.
The Star Network was chaotic. Photos of Admiral West and the young man hugging were circulating everywhere and there were also news articles reporting that Admiral West was so worried about the young man's safety that his spiritual power went berserk. Many of his fans expressed disbelief at this news but they soon had their faces slapped by Admiral West himself.
Admiral West's personal account was taken care of by himself and his way of taking care of it was.....not taking care of it at all. Despite having registered for over ten years, there were no posts at all on his account. Just half an hour ago, however, an update suddenly appeared on this usually blank page.
The tone was official, and it was worded very simply, very consistent with Louis's external image. The content basically said that he and his lover will soon be married and then he thanked the public for their support and requested that they don't disturb his lover's life.
Seeing this news, all his fans finally learnt what a bolt from the blue felt like. They transferred their anger onto Shao Ze'an and started to use all their power to dig out the young man's information, completely forgetting what their idol Louis had just said. It didn't take long for the information to be found. This young man was called Shao Ze'an, a student. At only 23-years-old, he was more than ten years younger than the admiral.
As the fans read through Shao Ze'an's personal information, they sneered. Wasn't this just a kid? They didn't know which part of him the admiral fell in love with.
They continued to complain as they scrolled down. When they saw that Shao Ze'an was the second son of the Minister of Justice, they all fell silent.
When they saw that he was the younger brother of Lieutenant General Shao Zelin, they were shocked.
And when they saw a photo of Shao Ze'an taken at his coming of age ceremony, they were dumbfounded.
With good looks, excellent family background and even having one of the Empire's star duo as his older brother, the fans could only cry tearlessly. Sure enough, good-looking people will only be paired with even better-looking people. If nothing else, just his face was on an entirely different level compared to them.
Shao Ze'an was indeed very beautiful, with the type of beauty unique to young, noble masters during this age. Although he was a descendent of the Chinese ethnicity, the race had been integrated for many years such that the racial differences between people have long disappeared. Shao Ze'an's appearance was the perfect mixed-race look. At the coming of age ceremony, he wore a specially tailored scholarly style suit. The Shao family was a family with both a military and political background and is therefore both proficient in the art of the sword and the pen. The older son had gone down the former path while the younger son had chosen the latter. In the picture, he wore a gentle smile, as if expressing gratitude to the person taking the photo for him. Louis sat in his room and stared at this photo for a very long time.
It was true that the Shao Ze'an in this photo is very beautiful, but Louis felt that the Shao Ze'an he sees usually is even more beautiful. Although the person in the photo looked polite and friendly, somehow, he felt that there was also a sense of emptiness and indifference.
The Shao Ze'an in the photo looked warm and gentle but is in fact cold inside, while the Shao Ze'an in reality may look cold outside but is in fact very warm inside.
In any case, this person always refused to show his true character. Thinking this, Louis's hand passed through the transparent display. He wanted to touch the young man's face and wanted to ask him why he didn't want others to know that his spiritual power was S-grade.

If he was doing it to save face, that was completely unnecessary. His family situation wasn't complicated and there wouldn't be any pressure on him. Each of his family members would be sincerely happy for him if they heard of this news.
But if it wasn't to save face, then what other reason could it be?
Recalling the young man's reaction during the day, Louis couldn't help but furrow his brows.
There must be something he hadn't found out about. What could it be?
Although Chi Zhao had said that he would explain it to Louis in the future, Louis didn't believe in his words at all. His intuition strongly told him that even if he was given an explanation, that explanation would probably be a lie.
Looking at the boy on the screen again, Louis thought for a moment before turning it off and going to the bathroom.
Chi Zhao had gone out with Louis for a day but almost lost his life. Madam Shao was shocked by this and made Chi Zhao stay at home for another few days. Only after confirming that the main star was not at risk of other terrorist attacks did she let him go back to college.
In this world, people study a variety of majors and Chi Shao couldn't understand any of them. Fortunately, the original owner's grades were originally bad so no matter how poorly he did, no one would be suspicious.
When the parents of the two parties met, they had discussed their wedding dates but the dates that were discussed were either the next year or the year after. In short, they had to wait a year or two before getting married. Morris however gave him a month and he wanted him to live in the West's house within a month.
Louis and his parents do not live together. He had a place of his own which was located near the military headquarters. Chi Zhao had thought that he could stubbornly force the marriage to happen to make Louis reluctantly accept him but now, with Louis willing to marry him, there was no need for him to be in such a hurry. If he suddenly said that he wanted to be married in the next few days, the others would probably think he's crazy.
Crazy is crazy. As long as the marriage can happen, who cares about that?
As he left the classroom deep in thought over how he should tell his parents about this matter, he didn't see that there was someone in front of him. That person was also strange. Seeing that Chi Zhao had his head lowered, deep in thought, normally the other person should make way for him, but he didn't do that.
Just as he was about to run into him, the system reminded Chi Zhao who then raised his head. When the other party saw that he had noticed him, he smiled, "I thought you were going to run straight into my arms."
