Arc 3.19: Black Face1Raw 黑脸(Hēi liǎn); lit. black face, use to describe  a person who ‘looks’ serious, emotionless, and cold. In other words, he ‘looks’ unapproachable, or unfriendly. You will know who it refers to in this chapter as you read on (^○^) And White Face

—

After finishing the mecha tactical theory class, Ye You and the others went to the last class in the morning, the combat practice class.

Ye You now was the student with the highest grade in the fighting class. He was also the latest student to enter among these students. It won’t take long for him to become the fastest student to graduate. His excellence has made many students felt admiration for him.

After Ye You put on the protective gear, he walked to Jin Lan’s side and said, “Want to compete?”

Jin Lan was stunned for a moment and then looked at Ye You. When Ye You’s fighting level was not as high as his before, he couldn’t beat Ye You. Now that Ye You’s level was so much higher than him, it was even less likely that he will be his opponent.

“It’s just a confrontation practice. Don’t worry, I won’t use my full strength.” Ye You looked at Jin Lan gently. Jin Lan had said the same thing to him before, but now the situation has changed.

Jin Lan thought for a while before agreeing, put on the protective gear to prepare, and Ye You went to the fighting ring to wait for him.

“Your Highness…” Bowen called out in a low voice, looked at Jin Lan worriedly and said, “Do you really want to compete with him?”

“Don’t worry, he won’t do anything to me. If he really intends to hurt me, it’s more than I could wish for.” After Jin Lan finished speaking coldly, the moment he turned around, he put on his usual gentle expression and walked towards Ye You.

The other students saw that Ye You was going to compete with Jin Lan again, so they couldn’t help but went over to watch. Ye You had beaten two sparring robots with his fists until it broken before, and they were wondering whether Ye You would directly beat Jin Lan until he was seriously hurt this time.

After the two settled their positions, Jin Lan waited for Ye You to make the first move.

Ye You punched, and Jin Lan raised his hand to block it. At this moment, Jin Lan groaned, and knelt on the ground with his hands folded in pain.

Ye You was taken aback for a moment, because Jin Lan fell a little too fast, and he didn’t use much strength just now.

Jin Lan also knew that this was a bit exaggerated, because Ye You didn’t seem to use much strength, but just now, he was really in pain, not pretending.

Jin Lan could only gritted his teeth to endure the pain, then stood up and continued to fight with Ye You. This time it was him who punched first, but Ye You just blocked it with a little force, Jin Lan couldn’t hold back and shouted, and fell to the ground with a face full of pain.

The other students on the sidelines couldn’t help discussing in a low voice.

“Tell me, is Prince Jin Lan in real pain or fake pain ah? I feel like he’s just pretending.”

“Isn’t it too exaggerated to pretend like this? At least fight a few more times before pretending.”

“That’s right, what do you think Prince Jin Lan is thinking? This is not a fight at all, it’s just a fist punch and then each of them block. He pretended to be in pain too early.”

“I think, maybe he doesn’t want to fight with Prince Ye You at all, but it’s not easy to refuse, so he deliberately pretended as soon as he came up, so that Prince Ye You couldn’t continue to fight with him, and he wouldn’t lose too badly, and he could make others think that he lost to Prince Ye You on purpose. ”

“Makes sense.”

Ye You originally planned to be upright and win Jin Lan once easily, but before he had exerted half of his strength, Jin Lan was in pain as if his hand was about to break off. This kind of performance was indeed too exaggerated, and he was very sure of his own strength control.

But after Ye You stood and looked at Jin Lan for a while, he felt that Jin Lan didn’t seems to be pretending. After quickly looking at his palm, he asked someone to come up, helped Jin Lan to the side to rest, and then let the teacher notify the school doctor to come and check Jin Lan to see if his hand was really injured.

After the school doctor checked Jin Lan, he didn’t find any injuries on his hands, and then left immediately. Now the other students felt even more that Jin Lan was just pretending.

But Jin Lan felt that he was wronged, because his hand was obviously still hurting.

And Ye You also felt that Jin Lan was not pretending, but he also felt very puzzled.

After leaving the academy, Ye You did not go back to the palace directly as usual, but went to the Duke’s Mansion to find Du Yao.

Du Yao was processing some important documents in the study, when he suddenly saw Ye You opened the door and walked in, he raised his eyebrows unexpectedly and said, “It’s really rare, His Royal Highness actually came here on his own initiative.”

Ye You ignored Du Yao’s ridicules, walked towards him directly, and then punched him fiercely.

Du Yao easily held Ye You’s fist, and asked doubtfully, “What’s wrong?”

“Do you feel it hurt?” Ye You asked as he looked at him.

“It doesn’t hurt.” Du Yao replied.

Ye You punched Du Yao harder again, this time he used 80% of his strength, then looked at Du Yao and asked, “How about this? Do you feel any pain?”

“No.” Du Yao’s expression remained calm.

“How could this be?” Ye You folded his arms and began to think.

“What’s the matter?” Du Yao pulled Ye You to sit on his lap, hugged him and asked, “Did something happen?”

“In today’s fighting class, I originally wanted to win Jin Lan in a dignified manner, but I haven’t used much strength yet  and Jin Lan looked as if his painful hand was about to break off. I didn’t think he was pretending, but I clearly controlled my strength very well. When I usually practiced with you, you didn’t feel any pain, and you didn’t feel any pain just now. Why does Jin Lan feel so much pain? This is too strange, is it his problem or my problem? ”

Du Yao understood what Ye You meant, then looked at him and said, “You compare him to me?”

“Of course I know that he is not comparable to you, but…” Ye You still has something he can’t figure out: “Even if I don’t compare him with you, it’s still very strange. Every time I practice with the robot, it will show the strength I used. The strength I used at that time was not enough to make Jin Lan feel like that, moreover he already hurts so much, but no injury, isn’t it strange?”

“Well, this is indeed something that should be studied carefully.” Du Yao nodded, then got up and said, “Let’s go and test it.”

Du Yao led Ye You to the fighting practice room. After conducting many tests based on Ye You’s situation, he discovered Ye You’s new ability, and then asked someone to make a new sparring robot for Ye You.

………………………………………………………………

Ye You more or less lived the same life every day. After becoming the heir to the throne, he seldom went to the academy to attend classes anymore.

In this way, more than ten years have passed.

In the past ten years, because Ye You has become more and more popular, he received a great deal of support, and the Emperor, the Queen, and Du Yao’s strict protection of Ye You prevented Slyn from directly or indirectly doing anything to Ye You. He became more and more anxious, so he had more contact with the king of Yintian Kingdom, and even started planning to force the Emperor to abdicate and give him the throne by controlling the wheel of Wisdom.

Du Yao has collected enough evidence to convict Slyn to death for the crime of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, and there was another person, who Ye You has been waiting to teach a lesson personally. After waiting for more than ten years, he finally got his chance.

Ye You boarded the royal warship, accompanied by Du Yao, and went to the Federation Star. As a prince, he represented the Baizhou2Raw 白宙(bái zhòu ); White Eon/Eternity. It seem this is the first time the empire’s name comes up, I was like “Finally!” lol Empire and participated in the exchange meeting of the federation countries. Previously, Ye You’s Imperial Father went to the previous federal exchange meeting by himself. Now that Ye You has returned to the royal family, the Emperor conveniently asked him to represent the Empire to attend.

“Hmph!” Ye You snorted coldly, and said disdainfully, “That Aldrich, did he really think that everyone has the same morality and conduct as him? He actually wanted to use a beauty trick on you!”

Ye You got the information and knew that this time Aldrich brought his sister to the Federation Star, the purpose was to let his sister seduce Du Yao.

Du Yao pulled Ye You to sit down on the sofa, hugged him and said: “If his brain is really useful, the Yintian Kingdom will not become weaker and weaker under his rule. Back then, I agreed with the truce because I saw that he had no ability to govern the country at all. Instead of spending more weapons and financial resources to continue attacking them, it is better to let him dig his own grave, our Baizhou Empire can still get a lot of benefits. ”

“If it weren’t for him leading troops to ambush our royal warship, my Imperial Father and Queen Mother would not fail to escape the cosmic storm, and I would not be taken to other time and space by the cosmic storm… My Queen Mother have suffered for more than three hundred years.” Ye You said fiercely: “There is also Slyn who is colluding with him, don’t even think to escape!” ”

“Tomorrow, I will let him experience what life is worse than death!” Ye You’s eyes flashed a fierce light.

After Ye You arrived at the Federal Star on the Royal Warship, accompanied by Du Yao and the guards, he took a car to the Federal Congress Building.

Du Yao got out of the car from the other side first, then helped Ye You open the car door, and stretched out his hand to help Ye You get out of the car.

Ye You put his hand on Du Yao’s, and after getting out of the car with Du Yao’s help, he stepped on the red carpet and walked into the building. The surrounding reporters immediately gathered around to live broadcast the news report.

“The one who has arrived at the Congress Building now is the heir to the throne of the Baizhou Empire, Prince Ye You. Accompanying him to this exchange meeting is his fiancé, the God of War of the Baizhou Empire, Commander Du Yao.”

“The first impression of Prince Ye You is that his appearance is really breathtaking. Few men can be described as beautiful, but Prince Ye You really has a beautiful face. ”

“Although this is the first time that Prince Ye You has participated in the exchange meeting of the Federal States, I personally think that there should be no problem with Commander Du Yao accompanying him. During this exchange meeting, what kind of performance will he have, and will he bring back some gains for the Baizhou Empire? Let’s wait and see. ”

Ye You and the others came to the top floor, and as soon as they entered the conference hall, the people who were talking with each other stopped to look at Ye You.

They didn’t mean to stare at Ye You on purpose, but after being stunned by Ye You’s appearance, they couldn’t look away immediately.

In the past ten years, Ye You’s physique and appearance have undergone great changes. He now looks more and more like the Queen of more than a thousand years ago, however, although Ye You was really very beautiful now, but he was not feminine, and he can be seen as a man at a glance.

And among those who looked at Ye You, there was one who stared at Ye You’s face in a daze, and then immediately showed a malicious look as if seeing a delicious prey.

The Baizhou Empire was one of the five first kingdoms, so Ye You took the chief seat directly, and Du Yao helped him move the armchair back. After Ye You sat down, Du Yao also sat down on the seat next to him.

When it was time for the exchange meeting to start, the door was closed, and then representatives from various countries began to speak and communicate.

In this kind of large-scale exchange meeting between countries, the main content of the exchange and discussion was nothing more than energy, weapons, medical treatment, and technology. Some countries hope to get help from big and powerful countries, while some countries want to show their country’s strength and advantages, and then conduct various transactions with other countries in need.

Medicine and weapons were the two most important topics in the discussion every time, especially in the past few years, Ye You has developed several new effective drugs, which were not available in other countries, so this discussion on medicine, the Baizhou Empire, that is, Ye You holds the main right to speak.

“As one of the first countries of the Federation, the Baizhou Empire is the country that has made the least contribution to the Federation. Since there are several new medicines this time, which are most needed but not available in other countries, it is time for the Baizhou Empire to make some contributions to the Federation, and also show the tolerance that a big country should have. ”

The person who spoke was Aldrich, the king of Yin Tian, who led his troops to ambush Ye You’s Imperial Father’s and Queen Mother’s warship, which caused Ye You’s Imperial Father and Queen Mother to fail to escape the cosmic storm, but he himself avoided it .

Later, Du Yao led the troops to attack the Yin Tian Kingdom, which weakened the national power of the Yin Tian Kingdom. Under the pressure of the people, Aldrich had to sign a surrender treaty, and then joined the Federation at the cost of handing over a large amount of energy every year.

Aldrich knew that as long as Du Yao was around, he would not be able to defeat the Baizhou Empire with force in upright manner. But his ambition was still not extinguished, and he was ready to make trouble, looking for all possible opportunities to turn around, so he has kept in touch with Slyn all these years.

“Our Baizhou Empire’s greatest contribution to the federation is to maintain the peace and stability among the federation states.” Du Yao looked at Aldrich coldly and said: “Back then, the Yintian Kingdom sent troops to attack and harass other countries many times. If our Baizhou Empire hadn’t sent troops to suppress it, the Federation would have suffered even greater losses. Now you say that our Baizhou Empire has not contributed to the Federation? Would you like me to send you the list of military expenses for attacking the Yin Tian Kingdom?”

Du Yao said a few words that made Aldrich’s face change greatly, but he couldn’t refute it. The meaning of Du Yao’s words was already very obvious. Their Baizhou Empire defeated the Yintian Kingdom, and letting the Yintian Kingdom sign a defeat treaty was one of their contributions to the Federation.

Ye You always maintained a decent but gentle smile, which makes people felt that his character was weak and gullible, but sitting next to him was Du Yao, who was very powerful and capable at first glance. No one dared to force his head on such an occasion to make him agreed, including Aldrich who was still arrogant after the defeat.

However, Aldrich already had a plan, and he didn’t plan to collude with other people to force Ye You to agreed at the exchange meeting. With Du Yao also present, the success rate of this approach was too small. And after he saw Ye You himself, the uncontrollable commotion in his heart added another item to his plan.

“All of you don’t have to worry, as one of the first countries of the Federation, our Baizhou Empire has always hoped to create a win-win situation with the Federation countries, and naturally we will also consider the people of the Federation countries.” Ye You said gently: “The sales of new medicines cannot be determined immediately. We will sign the most suitable sales contract according to the different conditions of each country. We can talk about these later.”

Du Yao and Ye You, one put on a black face and the other put on white face. Because they want to deter those who have ulterior motives with the majesty of a powerful country, but the threat of force may scare people, however it cannot completely conquer people’s hearts. Therefore, it was necessary to occasionally give some benefits to other countries that were attached to the Baizhou Empire, in order to stabilize the status of the Baizhou Empire in the federation, and to gain more support. The so-called whip and sugar were indispensable, and they were the best way to tame.

After the topic of medicines was over, various countries used projection screens to show the weapons that their countries could sell, as well as various new technologies.
