At the top of the stairs on the second floor, Su Lingyue looked at Ding Meng and Lu Qing with a sly smile.
Lu Qing didn't blush. She said naturally, "It's okay to hug. What's so strange about that?"
When she said this, she secretly used her eyes. A towel on the sofa flew up on its own and floated towards Su Lingyue as if it had eyes of its own.
Su Lingyue caught the towel and was pleasantly surprised. "Qing Qing, you've recovered?"
She had already sensed a trace of cold energy from the towel. Lu Qing was of the ice element.
Lu Qing let go of Ding Meng and smiled. "It's all thanks to Mr. Ding Meng's careful treatment."
Su Lingyue quickly ran downstairs and walked up to Lu Qing, looking her up and down carefully.
Lu Qing's complexion had obviously improved. In the past, although Lu Qing was also radiant, that was an illusion given by her beautiful appearance and beautiful appearance. At this moment, Lu Qing was truly bright and moving. That kind of brilliance was naturally emitted by her skin and not brought about by makeup.
Lu Qing smiled and opened her palm. With a soft "clang", a crystal blue icicle was formed in an instant. She shook her hand and the icicle was vaporized.
Su Lingyue was overjoyed. "You've really recovered."
Ding Meng's eyelids drooped. "Miss Su, you didn't rest in the middle of the night just to peek?"
This time, Su Lingyue didn't dare to act rashly in front of Ding Meng. She bowed respectfully. "Mr. Ting, you're really a master. You've cured the hidden illness that has troubled Qing for years. Thank you, Mr. Ding Meng."
Ding Meng waved his hand. "You're welcome."
Su Lingyue looked at Lu Qing with a smile. Of course, Lu Qing knew why Su Lingyue was smiling. For so many years, Su Lingyue had always kept people at arm's length. This time, she actually took the initiative to hug another person. Su Lingyue would never believe that she wasn't interested in Ding Meng.
Lu Qing said, "Sister Yue, don't misunderstand my relationship with Mr. Ding Meng. We are friends."
Su Lingyue's smile widened. "Yes, yes, yes. Friends. Boyfriend and girlfriend, right?"
"They're definitely not boyfriend and girlfriend."
Lu Qing vetoed the idea, but her tone changed quickly. "But … if he's really my boyfriend, then Mr. Ding Meng is my first choice."
Su Lingyue was grinning from ear to ear. "Ding Meng, you've got a great deal this time. My Xiao Qing has never had a target before."
Ding Meng said helplessly, "There are risks in choosing me."
Lu Qing looked at him. "What risk?"
"There are many risks involved. You'll know in the future. It's better for you to be cautious."
Ding Meng was obviously not interested in the topic. He changed his mind. "Right. It's time for you to tell me what the recruitment of the Water Sakura Union is about."
Lu Qing had learned of Ding Meng's background. She knew very well that Ding Meng was not from her world and would certainly find a way to return to the Holy Grail Federation. Therefore, she took the initiative to say, "In fact, you're very suitable for the recruitment. Technically speaking, it's not a recruitment but a joint reconnaissance operation."
"Oh?" Ding Meng was finally interested. "What kind of reconnaissance operation?"
Su Lingyue knew that her friend had truly trusted Ding Meng after her explanation. Therefore, she explained, "Mr. Ting, you may not know this because you're new here, but the Long Voyage Alliance has developed a very special starship. The materials of the starship are extremely difficult to get. It can resist the scourge of space storms."
Ding Meng asked in surprise, "Are you trying to open a wormhole and perform a space jump?"
Lu Qing shook her head. "It's not as exaggerated as a space jump, but it does require mid-long distance space transmission."
Ding Meng frowned. "Where are you going?"
Su Lingyue opened her hands and said, "We don't know. Only the president and Xi Wen know the specific coordinates."
Lu Qing said, "The Water Sakura Union has always been dedicated to the development of energy. Just like the Long Voyage Alliance, we lack experts. That's why we have this recruitment operation."
Ding Meng looked at her and said thoughtfully, "You don't lack experts, do you?"
It was not unreasonable for him to say that. Let's talk about Lu Qing first. In terms of talent, Lu Qing was not inferior to him at all. It must be noted that Lu Qing had stopped training for eight years. Although Ding Meng had been training all the time and had many adventures and skills like the anti-gravity force field, it had been more than ten years. If they really had the same training conditions, Ding Meng did not think that Lu Qing would be worse than him.
Then, there was Lin Aoxue. In fact, when he saw Lin Aoxue during the day, Ding Meng felt tremendous pressure because there were only two people in this place that he could not see through. One of them was Heaven's Peak, and the other was Lin Aoxue, the leader of the Water Sakura Union.
Ding Meng asked, "So, you want to recruit some experts?"
Lu Qing smiled bitterly. "In fact, we can't recruit real experts. For example, we can't pay a top expert like Heaven's Peak to work for us."
Ding Meng was puzzled. "But Heaven's Peak still came today."
Su Lingyue sighed. "He didn't come for the event. He came to support Sheng Tianming. This time, we are not only recruiting experts who are strong, but also teams with good teamwork. For example, Mr. Ding Meng. We can tell that you and your companions are not simple."
Ding Meng was curious. "You can tell?"
Su Lingyue blushed. "I can't tell. But the president told me that you and Miss Jun are not simple."
Ding Meng thought to himself that Lin Aoxue was not a simple person. She did have a sharp eye.
Lu Qing's eyes flashed and she said in a low voice, "Mr. Ding Meng and Miss Jun are not simple, are you?"
Ding Meng glanced at her. "You think too much. I'm not interested in your so-called beauties."
"Oh —" Lu Qing seemed to be unwilling to give up, but in fact, the corners of her mouth curled up. She only needed to know that Ding Meng was not Ding Meng's woman. But even so, she was not afraid. She had her pride. If she really wanted to pursue Ding Meng, she dared to say that she was the most competitive one. She had this confidence.
Of course, she would never believe Ding Meng's answer. According to the psychic information that Ding Meng showed her, Ding Meng was basically a thousand-year-old bachelor. It would be strange if such a person was not interested in women.
There were no women that men were not interested in. There were only women who could not attract men.
Ding Meng muttered to himself irresolutely, "Can I understand it this way? The people you are recruiting this time are relatively young?"
Su Lingyue said, "That's right. Starlink has always advocated for young people to travel to outer space. First, they can increase their qualifications, and second, they can train themselves. Sheng Tianming is actually very ordinary, but since Sheng Tianfeng came to our Water Cherry Society, the president has no choice but to give him some face."
Ding Meng said, "So he can also be selected?"
Su Lingyue nodded. "That's for sure. After the banquet last night, the president decided on the list. Sheng Tianming and the others have a total of five people."
Ding Meng's gaze turned to Lu Qing. "Is the fluxer who injured your mental force on the list?"
Su Lingyue immediately answered, "Are you talking about Ying Tianlong?"
Lu Qing's expression was somewhat unnatural. "Yes, him!"
Su Lingyue's expression was also unsightly. She sighed. "Unfortunately, he came here with Sheng Tianming. He's on the list."
Ding Meng said, "It's fine. He better be obedient and not do anything out of line."
Su Lingyue curled her lips. "What if he doesn't behave?"
Ding Meng sneered. "Then I can make him forget about using origin energy for eight years."
Su Lingyue immediately looked at Lu Qing. "Oh, your future boyfriend is pretty good to you."
Lu Qing giggled. "Look at your jealousy. Why is it so sour?"
Ding Meng was too lazy to joke with them. "Alright, I won't disturb your rest. I'll go back first."
Since he wanted to leave, Lu Qing and Su Lingyue couldn't force him to stay. The two beauties personally escorted him back to the villa. This treatment was definitely unique among all the guests.
At this moment, Jun Ling was actually on the first floor of the villa. It seemed that she had just come out of the induction cabin and was sitting alone on the sofa, drinking a drink.
Seeing Lu Qing and Su Lingyue send Ding Meng back, she was neither surprised nor greeted them. In fact, the way a woman of steel greeted them was very special. Jun Ling's wrist shook slightly, and a drink can on the coffee table flew toward Ding Meng.
Ding Meng reached out and caught it. He was a little surprised. "Eh?
How long has it been? You've improved so quickly? "
There were many types of energy attached to the jar: heat energy, ice energy, electromagnetic energy, rigid body, biochemical energy, and traces of telekinesis. Moreover, they were attached very evenly, proving that Jun Ling's understanding of telekinesis had deepened in a short period of time.
Jun Ling said indifferently, "There are some questions that I don't understand, so I came out to find you. In the end, you weren't here. It turns out that you went out to find a woman to play with."
"What do you mean by find a woman to play with?" Su Lingyue was dissatisfied. Are we used to be "played"?
Jun Ling glanced at her. "Isn't that so?"
Su Lingyue looked like she was about to go forward and argue, but was unexpectedly pulled back by Lu Qing. She secretly gave her a look, meaning that after all, this was Ding Meng's companion. She must not be rash.
Lu Qing smiled and said, "Miss Jun, please forgive me for not being a good host."
Jun Ling also sized her up. "Your complexion is better than during the day. Is it because of Ding Meng?"
This … Lu Qing really didn't know how to answer, but she was still very honest. "Yes, Mr Ting cured my illness."
Jun Ling nodded, got up and walked toward the inner room, leaving behind a sentence that made Lu Qing and Su Lingyue dumbfounded. "Your aura is so strong, but I advise you, you must not have children with men."
No matter how generous Lu Qing was, she couldn't help but blush when she heard this.
Su Lingyue, on the other hand, was so angry that her willow branches stood up. "This girl, what kind of nonsense is in her head?"
Ding Meng also drooped his eyelids. "Forget it. She's always had a novel way of thinking. I can't keep up. Please go back. I appreciate your kindness."
