Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Going to See

Vice Admiral Fred didn’t understand why a strange young female like her existed in the world.

Whenever she appeared, people couldn’t help but follow her with their gaze.

“From the moment I met her, she’s always been this way. She hasn’t changed at all,” Admiral Hans said with conviction.

Though he hadn’t known Lu Xiao for long, the young female just had an ability to inspire trust.

People were naturally inclined to believe her.

“She just told me she wants to go see Regal.”

Regal was Fred’s younger brother, and his Spirit Sea’s danger assessment had reached a peak level.

A state of Advanced danger.

They could only meet through a heavy door.

Hans was a little surprised, but not overly so. “You mentioned Regal to her?”

“She must have remembered what you said earlier and asked me about him herself.”

“Lu Xiao is quite the kind soul, isn’t she?”

“I didn’t expect it either.” Vice Admiral Fred gazed silently in Lu Xiao’s direction, the ardor in his eyes slowly becoming apparent.

Hans seemed to notice something. He raised an eyebrow. “It seems Lu Xiao doesn’t have a main husband yet.”

Fred’s gaze fell, his expression suddenly tinged with sorrow. “She’s already rejected me outright.”

Now Hans was genuinely surprised. “So you two have already…”

“Admiral Clan gave me the opportunity, but it seems I wasn’t up to the task.”

Hans hadn’t expected Admiral Clan to arrange something like this. “That doesn’t really seem like his style. Still, it’s clear he thinks highly of you. I hear she and her side husband have a very good relationship.”

“I met Major General Ares last time as well. He’s a very distinguished officer.”

Hearing this, Hans couldn’t help but chuckle. “Sounds like she made her rejection quite clear.”

“Yes. She made it clear when we parted ways, too.”

Hans patted Vice Admiral Fred’s shoulder. Beyond that silent gesture of comfort, there was no other help or advice he could offer.

That’s just how some things were.

He didn’t ask what Fred intended to do, either. Whatever happened next, it was a matter for the younger generation.

Lu Xiao had no idea what Hans and Fred discussed while she was performing Spiritual Soothing on Dean.

Having completed the treatment, Lu Xiao was no longer as weak as before. This time, even the color in her face looked completely normal.

Teacher Sherry and Teacher Ai Li, who had been standing by, ready to support her, both breathed a sigh of relief at the sight.

Clearly, it wasn’t just them who had improved during this time; Lu Xiao had made great strides as well.

Still, they handed her the water they had prepared and prompted her to sit and rest.

Lu Xiao, however, only took the water. Instead of sitting, she went straight to the monitoring equipment to check the current level of Dean’s Spirit Sea danger assessment.

When she saw the reading on the display fall back to the Mid-stage Junior level,

Lu Xiao smiled. It was just as she’d expected; Dean had indeed recovered to the Mid-stage Junior level.

Admiral Hans came over, and a smile touched his eyes as he saw the result. “Excellent. Our efforts are paying off.”

“So, Admiral, I believe it’s time to change the way the sanctuary is structured.” Lu Xiao’s single sentence was all it took for Hans to understand her meaning.

In fact, Hans had already been thinking the same thing after seeing the result.

“You’re right. It is time for a change. Don’t worry, as long as I am here at the sanctuary, I will see this through.” He had already prepared the report for the Queen; now, all he needed was the right moment.

And that moment was fast approaching.

After interacting with Hans for so long, Lu Xiao had a good sense of the man. She nodded. “I’ll leave it in your capable hands, Admiral Hans. If there’s anything I can do to help, please don’t hesitate to ask.”

“You’ve already helped immensely. If it weren’t for you, the sanctuary would still be what it once was.” ’How could they have this day? How could it be so full of hope?’ He felt that even the dead, stagnant air within the sanctuary had begun to dissipate, replaced by a new vitality.

“This was a joint effort from all of us.” Lu Xiao wouldn’t take all the credit for herself. It truly wasn’t her achievement alone, but the result of everyone working together. Without the sanctuary’s cooperation, even with all her skills, she would have had no way to apply them. “Oh, by the way, I heard that Vice Admiral Fred’s brother is already at a High Stage danger level. May I go see him?”

“Right now?” Admiral Hans hadn’t expected her to bring the matter up again herself. “Perhaps you should rest first? We can find another time.”

“Don’t worry. With Dean at his current level, performing Spiritual Soothing on him isn’t so difficult anymore. I’ve just never seen a High-level S-class Beastman before, and I’d like to understand what it’s like. I hope you’ll grant me the opportunity, Admiral.”

Since Lu Xiao put it that way, Hans naturally wouldn’t refuse. Besides, this was a good thing for them.

When Vice Admiral Fred heard that Lu Xiao was going to see Regal, it felt as if a jolt of electricity had shot through his chest. A tight, aching sensation spread from there to his fingertips, making them tingle.

’Lu Xiao… she actually remembered.’

“Thank you.”

Hearing his thanks, Lu Xiao paused for a moment, then smiled. “There’s no need for that, Vice Admiral Fred. I’m just genuinely curious about High-level S-class males.”

She wanted to make it clear to Vice Admiral Fred that she wasn’t doing this for his sake.

She didn’t want him to get the wrong idea.

Fred nodded. “I understand what you mean.”

But this only deepened the sense of dejection in Fred’s heart.

Seeing his response, Lu Xiao said no more. However, when Teacher Ai Li heard that Lu Xiao was going to see a High-level S-class male, she flatly refused. “No, absolutely not! I’ve already notified Ares. He’s waiting for you outside right now!”

“I’m just going to have a look, I won’t do anything else. I’m just really curious about what a High-level S-class male is like.”

“What could he be like? Just think about how Dean was the first time! This will only be worse. You’re insane!” Teacher Ai Li shook her head, vehemently disagreeing.

Seeing the situation, Admiral Hans tentatively began, “Perhaps…”

“You shut up! Who gave you the right to speak? If you people hadn’t put ideas in her head, our Xiao Xiao would never want to see some High-level S-class male!” Teacher Ai Li wished she could slap Hans a couple of times and teach him to keep his mouth shut!

Having been summarily shut down, Hans didn’t know how to explain himself. After all, Teacher Ai Li was clearly furious.

Lu Xiao hadn’t expected such a strong reaction from Teacher Ai Li and was at a loss for a moment. It was Teacher Sherry who spoke up. “Since she wants to see him, just let her. The worst that can happen is we all go with her. Or would you rather she snuck off to see him when you’re not looking?”

Lu Xiao felt a pang of guilt and stole a glance at Teacher Sherry. ’It feels like Teacher Sherry understands me better and better these days.’

’That’s exactly what I was planning to do.’

At this reminder, Teacher Ai Li instantly came around. “You’re right! Fine, if you want to see him that badly, we’ll go with you. And we’ll supervise you personally!”

Lu Xiao rubbed her nose sheepishly. “Okay, okay, we’ll all go together. I promise I’m just going to look!”

On the way over, Lu Xiao sent a message to Ares, telling him something had come up and asking him to wait a little longer. She didn’t want him to worry that something had happened to her inside.
