Faced with Qi Yiming’s rejection, Wang Zhengfeng did not appear surprised.
Wang Sen, who was sitting aside, was particularly anxious. After all, it was great news for him that Qi Yiming could join the elders.
But in this situation, Wang Sen could only be anxious.
Wang Dong sat behind Wang Zhengfeng with a smile on his face.
“Why did Mr. Qi refuse? The treatment of the elders is no better than that of ordinary retainers. The elders have decision-making power on some matters.”
Qi Yiming interrupted Wang Zhengfeng before he could finish his words, shook his head and said: “Let me tell you clearly, I will leave here sooner or later. The reason why I won’t leave for now is because I haven’t collected enough energy for the journey. Just a block.”
Wang Zhengfeng’s face was slightly startled, and then he quickly returned to normal. He looked at Qi Yiming in confusion: “I don’t know where Mr. Qi is going to go. As far as I know, you got 35 energy blocks today. Are you going?” Where? There are not enough energy blocks for you to use?”
Qi Yiming wanted to tell Wang Zhengfeng that he was going to the former capital galaxy of the Human Federation, but unfortunately Wang Zhengfeng and the others had never even heard of the Human Federation, let alone the capital galaxy.
Qi Yiming had no choice but to say tactfully: “A place far away really requires a lot of energy blocks to support my trip.”
Wang Zhengfeng was not curious about the place Qi Yiming mentioned, and just asked him about when he would set off.
Qi Yiming thought for a while and said: “The specific time is not yet certain, but I won’t be leaving soon. I still have a lot of work to do. After all, there are still a lot of things to prepare for a long trip.”
At this time, Wang Zhengfeng completely let down his guard. After all, a person who was going to leave sooner or later did not pose a big threat to their Wang family.
So Wang Zhengfeng said generously: “Mr. Qi, don’t be polite. If you need anything, just tell me.”
Qi Yiming unexpectedly shook his head: “Master, there is no need to be so polite. Since I am a retainer of the Wang family, I can just take what I deserve. As for what I need, I will figure it out myself.”
It’s not that Qi Yiming is so noble, on the contrary, Qi Yiming is very greedy.
Is Qi Yiming’s help to the Wang family really worth the position of an elder and some highly concentrated energy blocks that are not scarce resources?
If Qi Yiming is simply a retainer of the Wang family and will hang out with the Wang family in the future, then the position of an elder is indeed worth the price. After all, the elder is already tied to the Wang family.
As the power of the Wang family grows, the benefits that the elders can get will become greater.
But Qi Yiming is leaving. Even if the Wang family unifies the Xuanwu Star Territory in the future, what does Qi Yiming have to do with him? In other words, the chips given by Wang Zhengfeng are too low.
In fact, when Wang Zhengfeng learned that Qi Yiming was leaving, he already understood that the Wang family owed a favor that could not be repaid easily.
Since I can’t afford it, I can only find a way to remember this favor.
“Since Mr. Qi insists on refusing, how about temporarily living in my Wang family as a guest of our Wang family? When there is an opportunity to use our Wang family in the future, we will definitely refuse.”
Qi Yiming thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Qi Yiming knew about the position of guest minister. The Wang family had had many guest ministers, all of whom were gifted.
But Keqing is different from the elders. They have a high degree of freedom and can come and leave as they please without being bound by the Wang family’s rules.
Wang Sen, who was staring at Qi Yiming with a resentful look, suddenly became happy when he heard that Qi Yiming would be appointed as the guest minister of the Wang family.
Although Ke Qing cannot be regarded as a formal retainer of the Wang family, he still has a certain say in many matters.
In other words, Wang Sen can finally get some help from Qi Yiming.
Wang Dong still sat behind Wang Zhengfeng with his expression unchanged and his heart not beating, as if everything happening in front of him had nothing to do with him.
The rest of the group chatted. Except for Qi Yiming and Wang Zhengfeng, who exchanged their merits for some energy blocks, neither party mentioned the reward for the rescue.
The next day, Qi Yiming fell asleep for the first time since he woke up. The string in his head during the half month since he came to Wang’s house was indeed a little too tight. Qi Yiming really felt tired.
When Qi Yiming opened the door after getting up, he found that there were a bunch of people blocking the door, all coming to congratulate him, and all of them were holding gifts in their hands.
It was Liu Bishu who squeezed in from behind the crowd, looked at Qi Yiming and said excitedly: “Mr. Qi, congratulations on your appointment as the guest of my Wang family. Please accept this small gift.”
Then he handed a small box in his hand to Qi Yiming.
Qi Yiming opened the box in front of him. What surprised him was that inside the box was a military emblem from the era of the Human Federation.
Qi Yiming looked at Liu Bishu calmly, then said with a smile: “This gift of yours is very special.”
“This is something left by my ancestors. I have always regarded it as a treasure. I will give it to you today.” Liu Bishu looked at the military emblem with a look of pain on his face.
“You just gave me such a commemorative thing?”
But Liu Bishu did not answer Qi Yiming’s question. He just stepped forward and whispered to Qi Yiming: “Mr. Qi, the day you first came to the Wang family, the funeral ceremony was very special! I have seen the military flag on the coffin before. ”
“What do you want to explain?” Qi Yiming suddenly became alert.
“Mr. Qi, don’t be nervous, I don’t mean any harm!” Liu Bishu held Qi Yiming’s shoulders and told him not to get excited: “If Mr. Qi is free tonight, I hope you can come to my house as a guest.”
The crowd around him gradually crowded in, and Qi Yiming had no choice but to nod calmly, indicating to Liu Bishu that he would be a guest at Liu Bishu’s house on time in the evening.
Then Qi Yiming was overwhelmed by the excited crowd.
After finally sending everyone away, and planning to celebrate with a drink at a high-end hotel in the residential area at noon, Qi Yiming hurried to the airport and took a transport boat back to the Xuefeng.
Holding the military badge in his hand, Qi Yiming couldn’t calm down for a long time, for fear that the badge was just a fake.
Putting the badge into a device designed to verify authenticity, Qi Yiming anxiously waited for the result.
This federal badge is not as simple as it seems. The badge not only expresses identity, but also serves as a personal data storage device.
Stored inside are the name, place of origin and position of the badge owner, as well as some logos used in the military.
Each Federation battleship has a specialized instrument that reads the information stored in the badge.
Soon detailed information appeared on the holographic display of the instrument, and Qi Yiming knew that the badge was real.
“Name: Liu Zhen.”
“Age: 27 years old (not counting dormant time).”
…
A string of personal information about Liu Zhen was displayed on the screen in detail.
Qi Yiming looked at the information in front of him and shed tears of excitement unconsciously.
“It turns out that world really hasn’t left me yet.”
With this incident, Qi Yiming didn’t show so much concern at the noon banquet. After expressing his gratitude to the retainers who came to congratulate him as usual, he never showed up again.
It wasn’t until evening that Qi Yiming’s figure appeared outside Liu Bishu’s house.
As soon as he entered the door, before Qi Yiming could ask questions, he saw Liu Bishu wearing a corporal uniform from the federal era. He stretched out his right hand and raised it to eyebrow level in a not-so-standard federal military salute.
“The glory of the Federation illuminates the stars.” Liu Bishu earnestly shouted out a greeting that Qi Yiming had engraved in his heart.
