Accidentally Choosing the Strongest Alpha in the Galaxy on a Blind Date
In less than two days, news spread that the palace was about to host a grand banquet for the recently found duke’s son.
The Star Network was buzzing with this news for two consecutive days.
Because the old duke’s affairs were linked to the second prince’s death, the news had been suppressed.
Over the years, the old duke kept a low profile and most people only knew that he had lost his only son without knowing the details.
A small number of people who knew the truth didn’t dare to bring it up at this sensitive time, fearing it might remind the emperor of the second prince’s death which would only cause trouble.
It wouldn’t end well for them.
Yiya’s lost background was somehow leaked, especially the part where before being found, he was targeted by the nobility due to his status as an S-rank healer.
His adoptive parents were harmed and imprisoned, nearly driving him insane.
After being found, the old duke had already avenged him and his adoptive parents.
From being a pitiful figure oppressed by the nobility, Yiya transformed into a royal noble with those who once bullied him punished.
Coupled with his status as the duke’s only son and a healer, Yiya dominated the Star Network’s trending topics for two days, stealing the spotlight.
The old duke still needed two more pills to completely rid his body of poison.
Not knowing who was behind it, he and Lin Jing decided not to reveal that most of the poison had been neutralized.
They only mentioned that his health had improved due to healing powers.
Upon returning to the castle, he pretended his condition worsened and would not attend the banquet.
Ji Anli thought this was a good strategy.
With the enemy in the shadows and them in the open, it was better not to reveal that the old duke’s poison wasn’t fully cured.
If the enemy decided to strike again, he didn’t have extra touch points to exchange for an antidote.
That night, Ji Anli praised Lin Jing a lot, not only earning five hundred touch points but also completing several daily touch tasks.
With the previous five hundred plus, he now had over a thousand touch points.
Unfortunately, it seemed he praised Lin Jing too much that night, scaring him off.
Lin Jing was busy for the next two days, only sending messages and not showing up.
On the day of the banquet, Ji Anli donned a formal white suit.
His two bodyguards, Xie Lie and the others, accompanied him along with a new addition—Jiang Jun who had finished dealing with the old duke’s previous attack and was on leave, staying on the capital star.
Lin Jing has been genuinely busy these past few days.
The matter with the old duke needs further investigation and the banquet was hastily organized.
However, the attendees this time are all from the noble families and aristocrats of the capital star so security precautions are necessary, leaving him with no time to rest.
But he still remembered that he had to appear at the banquet with Ji Anli that evening.
This would be their first appearance since getting their marriage certificate.
With Ji Anli’s parents not currently on the capital star and the unreliable Ji family, along with the scheming Ji Xingwang’s family, Lin Jing was worried that Ji Anli might suffer if he went alone so he naturally had to protect him.
Just as he rushed home and opened the door, he saw someone fluttering around Ji Anli like a butterfly.
Not only did this person circle around Ji Anli but he also smugly shook his white suit, saying, “Little Anli, if we show up at the banquet hall like this, won’t everyone think we’re wearing couple outfits?”
Ji Anli glanced at him upon hearing this.
Having reunited for a few days, he had come to understand this childhood friend.
Jiang Jun was afraid that Lin Jing wasn’t sincere and repeatedly tried to test him to give Lin Jing a wake-up call.
Unfortunately, he and Lin Jing weren’t what Jiang Jun thought.
They were in a cooperative marriage but this was a private matter that wasn’t convenient to share with Jiang Jun. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the door open and his eyes lit up, “Why are you back at this time?”
Lin Jing’s face remained impassive but he cast a resentful glance at Jiang Jun, “Hmm.”
If he hadn’t come back, who knows if his partner would still be his partner on the star network tomorrow.
Jiang Jun clicked his tongue.
Despite being so busy, Lin Jing still rushed back to accompany Little Anli.
At least he had some heart but who stays away from home for two days right after getting married?
Lin Jing and Ji Anli spoke softly about the busy matters of the past two days before heading upstairs to change clothes.
Jiang Jun sat back on the sofa, no longer in a hurry.
It seemed he didn’t need to do anything this time.
Lin Jing rushing back now was surely because he was worried about Wen Zhen and Ji Chenhao bullying his Little Anli.
The reason Jiang Jun stayed an extra two days was to back up Anli, ensuring those two wouldn’t bully him.
Jiang Jun took a sip from his cup, pondering how to embarrass those two at the banquet later.
Hearing a noise, he looked up and choked.
What grudge? what resentment?
Was General Lin doing it on purpose?
Every time he saw him, he choked.
Was he trying to choke him to death out of jealousy to eliminate a potential rival without bloodshed?
Ji Anli was also looking at Lin Jing who was coming down the stairs with a face full of amazement.
He had seen Lin Jing in white before as his original skin was white but it was rare to see him dressed so formally.
The last time he was this stunning was when he wore a black suit.
But this time was different.
The white suit with dark patterns was even more formal and luxurious than the previous black suit, especially with the gem-studded cuffs and collar pin.
Coupled with his aloof demeanor that kept people at a distance, it formed a stark contrast with the white suit, making him even more dazzling and eye-catching.
Jiang Jun looked at him with resentment. He was sure General Lin had heard what he said earlier and was doing it on purpose
He came to the capital star on a whim and the white suit he was wearing was a cheap, last-minute purchase.
Just a moment ago, he was on par with General Lin but then General Lin turned around and donned the kind of formal attire usually reserved for grand noble banquets.
Even Ji Anli had never seen him dressed so formally before.
Not only that, after Lin Jing came down, he walked straight to Ji Anli and handed him a box, asking him to open it.
Ji Anli did as he was told and opened it.
Inside were cufflinks and a collar pin identical to Lin Jing’s, just a size smaller but with even more dazzling gemstones and a ring of tiny diamonds that perfectly matched his white suit.
Jiang Jun glanced at this silently and took two steps back.
He decided he definitely wouldn’t stand with them at the banquet.
Originally, there were three of them but now he looked like a butler or a sidekick in comparison.
Jiang Jun squinted at Lin Jing: ‘Is this how you treat Little Anli’s family? Are you doing this on purpose?’
Lin Jing raised an eyebrow: ‘Couple’s outfit?’
Jiang Jun: ‘Is this your way of hospitality? I’ve helped you for so many days, if not for the hard work, at least for the effort.’
Lin Jing: ‘Couple’s outfit?’
Jiang Jun: ‘……….’
He had never met someone so petty in his life!
Ji Anli had just put on the gemstone cufflinks when he looked up and noticed Jiang Jun, who had been standing there, was now gone, “Why did he leave all of a sudden?”
Lin Jing gave a gentle smile, “The Jiang family will also be attending this time. He probably doesn’t want to run into them so he thought it best not to go.”
Ji Anli thought that reason was unlikely but considering that if Jiang Jun were present and he saw Wen Zhen and Ji Chenhao, he would definitely stand up for him.
If the mission couldn’t be completed then, it wouldn’t be ideal.
Jiang Jun probably didn’t want to see the Jiang family either.
The reason he wanted to go with him before was because he was worried that Lin Jing would be too busy and that he might get bullied if left alone in the palace.
Now that he saw Lin Jing, he left?
Ji Anli felt a warmth in his heart and Lin Jing’s expression softened even more.
“I’ve already applied for credit for protecting the old duke on behalf of Major General Jiang.
He performed well on Planet A and he can be transferred to the capital star to serve as a major general.”
The difference between a major general on Planet A and one on the capital star is significant.
Although they are the same rank, the benefits are much better.
Plus, Jiang Jun grew up on the capital star and only had to leave because of the Jiang family.
This place is more familiar to him.
As long as Jiang Jun agrees, he can prepare for the transfer in a few days.
Ji Anli and Jiang Jun have a good relationship so there will be many opportunities to meet in the future.
Ji Anli was clearly surprised and deeply moved by this.
He wanted to say a lot more but time was running out and the banquet was about to start.
Once the mission at this banquet is completed, if he can refresh the praise task from that day, he will definitely praise him again and find a way to earn enough touch points to help him detoxify.
The two of them took a hover car to the palace.
On the way, Ji Anli thought about it and decided not to fight an unprepared battle.
In the book, Ji Chenhao is the main character so most of the perspective is about his storyline.
If he draws a plot, what if he’s lucky enough to draw how Ji Chenhao and Yiya met?
Yiya is Ji Chenhao’s benefactor but he can’t just be his benefactor for no reason, right?
Ji Anli looked at the more than a thousand touch points, gritted his teeth and decided to draw only five times.
If he didn’t get it, he wouldn’t draw anymore and just consider himself unlucky.
Ji Anli pulled up the plot interface and clicked the ‘100 touch points per draw’ button.
The first plot that came up made Ji Anli’s face darken.
He guessed right. Most of it was indeed about the main character but unfortunately, it started with an eye-burning scene between Wen Zhen and Ji Chenhao.
He quickly pressed the button again.
The second time was somewhat useful but not much.
The keywords, however, made Ji Anli sit up straight with excitement, especially the part about
‘Across the vast banquet hall, Ji Chenhao looked enviously at the young man who was being flattered by everyone.
The young man had a melancholic look but was generous and composed.
Ji Chenhao was momentarily dazed by his face which reminded him of someone.
This thought quickly dissipated and Ji Chenhao looked on enviously again.
After this banquet, this person would become the youngest duke in a century.’
Ji Anli focused on the keywords ‘banquet hall’ and ‘duke’
It seemed his luck was neither good nor bad this time as he really drew a plot related to this banquet.
Ji Anli pressed on and drew a third time but unfortunately, this one wasn’t much related to the plot.
The fourth time, still the same.
Ji Anli took a deep breath.
This was the fifth time and also the last.
If there was still nothing relevant, he would have to give up.
He couldn’t use up all his touch points. He needed to save some for backup.
Just as Ji Anli was about to press the button, Lin Jing noticed something was off with Ji Anli’s mood and looked over with concern.
Ji Anli met Lin Jing’s gaze and suddenly reached out to grab Lin Jing’s arm, saying, “I’m just comparing to see if our cuffs are couple buttons, if they’re exactly the same.”
As he spoke, he used Lin Jing’s hand to press the button in the air.
As the button was pressed, a card popped out, waiting for Ji Anli to reveal it.
This time, Ji Anli simply held Lin Jing’s fingers, using them to take a closer look and pressed the button.
