chapter 26
Sinian's test and Louis are scheduled on the same day, and usually special admissions can not participate in the re-examination, because the re-examination results have little impact on whether they are admitted or not. The reason why Si Nian participated was just to accompany Louis and them, but he didn't expect that he would become the one who was taken care of after he went in.
Louis didn't think about it that much, they felt that Si Nian was already very powerful as a sentinel (ordinary person), and there was no need to be embarrassed at all.
The four of them rested for a while, and Barton received a text message from his parents. So he said goodbye to Si Nian and the others, and took the lead in leaving the branch campus of Interstellar College.
Si Nian and the others were wandering around the rest area, and Louis suddenly received a text message from Wuhua.
"Uncle Hua, they have already arrived at the Emperor Star, and they will feel it immediately." Louis said.
There was a hint of joy in his voice, but it wasn't very obvious, but it was a sign that his happiness was real.
Louis is a man who is very good at disguise, and he is often able to confuse the truth with the false.
Si Nian had seen Louis smile shyly at a greasy uncle in his forties, and took advantage of the moment when the other party was stunned to give a fatal blow. That leg was really deadly, hitting the most vulnerable part of the man, and it hurt Si Nian for a while.
The more false it is, the easier it is to be exposed, and the more real it is, the more subtle it is.
That's probably what makes Louis different, a little awkward and a little cute.
The branch of the Interstellar Academy in the Imperial Capital was divided into two parts, one for the use of the candidates, and the other for them to rest for the exams that had completed the re-examination. They are not allowed to move around freely, and can leave the Interstellar Academy directly, and a small number of family members are also allowed to visit in the rest area.
When Wuhua and the others arrived, Louis had already regained his calm, and his arrogant little appearance made Si Nian can't help but want to laugh, but he probably naturally lacked that aspect of nerves, at most he just touched the corners of his mouth.
The perfunctory nature of the facial nerve can be seen.
The relaxed atmosphere didn't last long, and Wuhua straightened his face and said to Louis, "Someone in the Johnson family is trying to contact me. You know what I mean, right? ”
Louis was silent, but everyone knew that he just didn't want to answer.
"What do they mean!"
When he said this, Louis's tone was indignant, helpless, and aggressive.
Wuhua shrugged and replied, "The Johnson family is a family that respects the strong, and although your parents were defeated because of kindness, this does not mean that the other party can take charge of the overall situation. Otherwise, they wouldn't have just exiled you to the Trash Star and allowed me and Joe to go with them. This is an opportunity, but it is also a test, victory means a comeback, and a defeat may make your team even more miserable. ”
Although Si Nian didn't understand what they were discussing, he also heard the danger.
Fortunately, Wuhua continued: "I don't approve of your contact with the other party now, with your current age and the resources in your hands, there is nothing that can compete with other heirs, the only thing you can barely get your hands on is the unknown and potential, but who can be selected as the heir of the family, which one will lack these?" No one can predict whether his future will soar or fall without growing into an eagle. ”
Wuhua's expression was very flat, he was not giving a speech, he was not trying to persuade Louis, he was just stating his long-standing opinion.
Louis nodded, he understood what Wuhua meant.
With Louis's nod, Wuhua stopped persuading. He was Louis's mentor rather than nanny, and Louis's decision was not going to intervene unless there was a serious mistake.
It's a habit he's been cultivating for a long time.
Si Nian thought that this matter was over, although the atmosphere seemed a little dull, but nothing major happened in the end, and he was relieved.
On the way to the special test, Louis explained to him in a whisper.
"The Johnson family is a huge family, and he already has many family members in the planetary era, and in the cosmic era, it has evolved from quantitative change to qualitative change.
"My father, who was one of the last generation of the Johnson family, was already dominant, but he didn't strike a fatal blow when his opponent was at rock bottom. Then my father and mother fell in love, and my mother was a very good guide, beautiful, brave, strong, independent, and she could be said to have gathered all kinds of attractive shining points on her body, except for one thing that was very bad, and that was her family background, which could almost be called a standard commoner.
Her father was a poet and her mother was a literary creator, what a literary work, but in the eyes of the family, this status has no value.
"My father's choice caused his family's status to plummet, and at this time, his rival suddenly brought in foreign aid, and the two sides worked together, so my parents were knocked off the altar and fled the Johnson family's sphere of influence in a hurry."
Louis said this in a cold tone. Although his words contain a variety of emotional words, he is like the worst reciter, laying out this qiē in front of the audience in a straight way.
Si Nian vaguely felt that something was not quite right, and he recalled what Louis had just said.
"Didn't Uncle Hua say just now that your parents ...... because of kindness," Si Nian asked with some puzzlement.
"Defeat because of 'mercy'? Forget it, if you don't die by fighting a snake, you will suffer from it, since you can't get up again without beating the other party, the other party has found an opportunity to fight back, and naturally you won't be merciful. That's why it's too ideal. Believe it or not, if you give their husband and wife another chance, they will definitely not be so merciful again, maybe they will be even more ruthless than the most vicious gangsters. Louis also showed a fierce expression as he spoke, but then realized that it was Si Nian standing next to him, and quickly restrained his feelings.
It took Si Nian five seconds to completely consume the content of Louis's words, he hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Then you finally said that your parents fled the territory of the Johnson family, so where are they now?" Why did you get exiled to Junk Star? ”
Si Nian was hesitant to ask these questions, but he always felt that there was something in them that he had always overlooked.
"I don't know where they are now, because they fled too hastily, or because they were afraid that they would be discovered if they were too prepared, they left me as a young man and fled to an unknown galaxy with all the remaining forces." Luis concluded, explaining, "You know, the universe is big, and there are always places where humans haven't set foot yet. ”
"They left you and fled?" Si Nian couldn't believe that there were such parents in time, so the volume unconsciously rose a little, attracting Wuhua and the others in front of him to turn back frequently.
Louis didn't expect Si Nian to have such a big reaction, and explained helplessly: "The enemy is tightly supervised, and if you want to leave quietly without people noticing, you must have some 'important items' as collateral." They used to show kindness, so no one thought that they would have the determination of a strong man to break his wrist and leave me there alone. ”
"This is not a strong man's broken wrist! This is cold-blooded and ruthless! Don't they know how you'll be treated if you're left there? Si Nian was still very excited.
On the one hand, Louis is very happy with the time of the year, but on the other hand, he is quite understanding of his parents' choice.
Although he didn't have any feelings for the couple, out of practical considerations, he felt that he should explain a little bit to the other party.
"It's not as bad as you think. The reason why the Wilson family can maintain its longevity is because he is cold-blooded and ruthless enough, but in terms of the regulations of future generations, he is quite open-minded, no matter how fierce and cruel the competition between his parents is, he must not harm the offspring, and all the offspring, as long as they do not die naturally, will have the right to compete for the head of the family. With such a rule, my parents' opponents can't at least attack me directly, and as for the exile of Junk Star, it is not so much to let me die a natural death there, but to curb the possibility of me gaining a resource to strengthen myself. Otherwise, Uncle Hua and they wouldn't have followed. "An old fox like Uncle Hua will not follow an heir who has no hope of getting ahead at all.
Of course, this last sentence Louis was just thinking about it in his heart. He knew that Wuhua had a high status in Si Nian's mind, and he had no intention of destroying this admiration.
Si Nian was still there digesting all that Louis had said, which seemed a little strange to him, who had been born in peacetime.
Probably seeing Si Nian's entanglement, Louis continued: "Actually, I can really understand their thoughts. At that time, although they were at a disadvantage, as long as they rested for a while, they might not be able to start all over again. The Johnson family has always done anything to win, and my father probably was too smooth before, so he capsized in the gutter. Leaving me there will allow you to better preserve your power and threaten the enemy with the power you have in your hands. With the Johnson family's rules and the power in their hands, it was not a problem to ensure my safety. I think it's a natural choice, a fairly wise choice. ”
The reason why he gave such an evaluation as "still wise" was not that Louis felt that his parents' choice was incorrect, but because he felt that such parents were not strong enough and seemed a little weak.
Such a table does not fully match his appreciative vision, so he can only give a more reluctant evaluation.
When Si Nian heard this, he could only be speechless.
Is it true that the gap between him and this era is so great that it is difficult to cross?
Fortunately, the examination room for the special recruitment test has arrived, and Si Nian finally doesn't have to worry about what kind of expression he should use to express what kind of feelings - although his expression is expressionless to others!
Just as he was about to enter the examination room, a man in a black cloak stopped the group at the door.
