My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1352 Firm
Zhou Xing stood in the control room, frowning, looking at the data on the simulated battlefield. Suddenly, an abnormal energy fluctuation attracted his attention, and a mecha operated by a student was in danger.

"What's wrong with this student?" Zhou Xing quickly issued an order and personally controlled the command system to rescue the mecha from danger. During the rescue process, he discovered that the operating system of the mecha actually contained unconventional codes.

After the exercise, Zhou Xing decided to check the list of students who violated the rules. When he got the list, his eyes fell on the name "Ling Xue". He frowned and prepared to find the student who violated the rules.

At the same time, Ling Xue was called to the dean's office for illegal operations. She walked into the office with an unconvinced look on her face, and when she saw Zhou Xing sitting behind the desk, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Reporting to the Dean, I think there is no problem with my operation. Those so-called violations are just trying new tactics." Ling Xue looked directly into Zhou Xing's eyes and said in a firm tone.

Zhou Xing looked at the stubborn girl in front of him and admired her courage. "I understand that you are trying new tactics, but you cannot violate the rules of the academy. Moreover, the unconventional code hidden in the mecha I gave you was a test for you, but you did not pass it." Zhou Xing said seriously.

Ling Xue was surprised when she heard this. "I see, Dean. I am willing to accept any punishment." She held her head high, looking like she was ready to take responsibility.

Zhou Xing looked at her and something moved him. "Since you are so courageous, I will give you a chance. I require you to complete the actual combat modification of the 'scrap iron' mecha within three days and pass my inspection."

Ling Xue answered without hesitation: "Yes, Dean! I promise to complete the task!"

After receiving the mission, Ling Xue immediately came to the abandoned hangar. Looking at the pile of "scrap iron" mechas covered with dust and rust, she did not flinch, but instead her eyes sparkled with excitement.

She picked up the tools and began to carefully disassemble the mech. During the disassembly process, she gradually discovered some hidden problems. It turned out that the core furnace of this mech had a design flaw, which seriously affected the performance of the mech.

In order to find a solution, Ling Xue stayed up all night to look up information. During the process, she accidentally found the old version of the drawings annotated by Zhou Xing. With her outstanding professional knowledge and innovative thinking, she proposed a solution of "energy reverse perfusion".

Late at night, Zhou Xing quietly came to the hangar. He wanted to see Ling Xue's progress. When he saw the plan proposed by Ling Xue, he was very surprised, but he still looked cold on the surface.

"Your plan is too risky. I don't approve it," Zhou Xing said.

Ling Xue was anxious when she heard this. "Dean, I think this plan is feasible. As long as it succeeds, the performance of this mecha will be greatly improved."

Zhou Xing looked at Ling Xue's anxious look and laughed in his heart. "Well, let's talk about it after you have achieved results. However, I want to warn you that if you fail, you will have to bear the corresponding responsibilities."

Ling Xue nodded firmly. "Don't worry, Dean, I won't let you down."

In the following time, Ling Xue worked even harder. She constantly debugged the mecha and conducted various experiments. Finally, within the specified time, she completed the modification of the mecha.

Zhou Xing came to the hangar again to inspect the modified mecha. When he saw the excellent performance of the mecha, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. But he still deliberately criticized it and said, "It's barely passed. Don't be proud."

After hearing this, Ling Xue felt a little dissatisfied, but she still smiled happily.

One day, Zhou Xing received an anonymous letter of complaint. The letter accused Ling Xue of "stealing confidential technology" and attached a forged data log. Zhou Xing frowned and decided to ask Ling Xue for clarification.

He called Ling Xue to his office and threw the letter of complaint on the table. "Ling Xue, what's going on?"

Ling Xue looked at the report letter and was very angry. "Dean, someone is deliberately framing me. I definitely did not steal confidential technology. This data log is forged."

Zhou Xing looked at her determined eyes and believed her words in his heart. "I believe you, but this rumor must be clarified. From now on, you will suspend your command and follow me."

Although Ling Xue was somewhat reluctant, she still obeyed the order and followed Zhou Xing into the underground secret room.

In the secret room, Zhou Xing took out a holographic sand table. "This is the terrain data of a trap planet. I will give you a task. If you can formulate a reasonable combat plan, I believe you have the ability to clear your suspicion."

Ling Xue looked at the sand table and fell into deep thought. She carefully observed the terrain and analyzed various possible situations. Suddenly, she picked up a light pen and drew a route on the sand table.

"Dean, I suggest adopting the 'spiral luring enemy' tactic. First send out a small force to attract the enemy's attention, and then the main force will outflank the enemy from the flank, lure the enemy into the trap, and finally annihilate them in one fell swoop." Ling Xue said confidently.

Zhou Xing listened to her analysis with an admiring look in his eyes. "Yes, this tactic is very creative. It seems that you have been wronged."

Soon after, the academy received an urgent mission - to rescue a scientific research ship hijacked by space pirates. Zhou Xing decided to let Ling Xue redeem herself from her crime and sent her to lead a team to carry out this mission.

Ling Xue knew the importance of this mission. She carefully analyzed the firepower distribution of the star pirates and found that they had deployed quantum artillery arrays with very strong firepower. In order to deal with this situation, she ordered the removal of the mecha's protective shield and replaced it with a distributed energy network for all personnel.

"Captain, this is too risky. Without the protective shield, we are vulnerable to attacks." A team member said worriedly.

Ling Xue looked at the team members and said firmly: "This is the best way at the moment. Only in this way can we break through the pirates' defenses. Everyone, trust me and follow the plan."

The team members nodded after hearing this. According to Ling Xue's plan, they drove their mechas towards the star pirate fleet.

During the battle, Ling Xue's mecha communication equipment was blown up and she lost contact with her teammates. At this time, the energy of the mecha she was driving was about to run out, and the situation was very critical.

Just as she was about to fight to the death, Zhou Xing's voice suddenly came from the communication channel: "Stupid disciple, save some energy for the master to back up."

It turned out that Zhou Xing had been secretly watching the battle situation. When he saw Ling Xue in danger, he immediately drove his flagship over. He used the powerful firepower of the flagship to suppress the pirates' offensive and bought time for Ling Xue and others.

Under the leadership of Zhou Xing and Ling Xue, the team members fought bravely and finally successfully broke through the pirates' defense line and rescued the scientific research ship.

After the battle, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue studied the wreckage of the star pirates. They found a badge in the wreckage and after analysis, they found that the badge was related to the top leaders of the academy.

Zhou Xing's face became very serious. "Ling Xue, this matter may involve an internal conspiracy of the college. You should investigate it secretly first and don't make it public." Ling Xue nodded. "Dean, don't worry, I will be careful."

At this time, Ling Xue received a notice to attend the celebration banquet. She didn't want to go, but she was worried that it would arouse suspicion, so she had to bite the bullet and attend.

At the celebration banquet, someone deliberately forced Ling Xue to drink. Ling Xue was overwhelmed and gradually became drunk. Zhou Xing was worried that she would say something wrong, so he left early and took Ling Xue away.

On the way back, Zhou Xing couldn't help but scold: "You couldn't even hold it in at the celebration banquet, what if you let it slip?"

Ling Xue looked at Zhou Xing in a daze, and suddenly confessed affectionately: "I can't help it... I have liked you... for a long time."

Zhou Xing was stunned when he heard this. He looked at the drunk girl in front of him, and a ripple appeared in his heart.

A few days later, Zhou Xing found Ling Xue. He took out a piece of evidence, which turned out to be a corruption case involving the mecha project 20 years ago, and the evidence pointed to the vice president.

"Ling Xue, now we have an opportunity to overthrow the vice president. I need you to act as bait and lure the snake out of its hole." Zhou Xing said.

Ling Xue answered without hesitation: "Okay, it's a good opportunity to avenge the old mecha."

Ling Xue followed the plan and pretended to defect by driving a mecha. The vice president fell into the trap and mobilized the fleet to chase Ling Xue.

When Ling Xue led the vice-president's fleet into an ambush, Zhou Xing appeared. He activated the interstellar arrest warrant with the dean's authority and made the vice-president's crimes public.

"Your guilt has been exposed, so surrender." Zhou Xing said loudly.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the vice president became angry and drove his flagship towards Zhou Xing, wanting to die with him.

At this critical moment, Ling Xue rushed over in her mecha and blocked the fatal blow for Zhou Xing. Her mecha was severely damaged, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted.

After the battle, Zhou Xing hurried to Ling Xue's mecha. He dug the unconscious Ling Xue out of the ruins and held her in his arms.

At this time, Ling Xue's hand accidentally touched Zhou Xing's bald head. "It turns out that the dean's hair is fake." Ling Xue said weakly.

Zhou Xing looked at Ling Xue in his arms, his heart filled with distress. He held her and ran towards the medical cabin.

Three months later, Ling Xue returned to the team after recovering from her injury. As soon as she returned to the academy, she was pulled into a secret room by Zhou Xing.

"Dean?" Ling Xue looked at Zhou Xing puzzledly.

Zhou Xing smiled and showed a marriage certificate code: "Happy wedding, Commander."

Ling Xue looked at the marriage certificate code and was surprised and happy. "Dean, when did you prepare it?"

Zhou Xing looked at her tenderly. "I've been ready for a long time, just waiting for the right time."

From then on, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue walked hand in hand in the interstellar world, writing their own legendary story.

However, the second prince did not give up easily. His men set fire to the shipbuilding department in an attempt to destroy Zhou Xing's ship improvement technology. In order to protect the blueprints, Zhou Xing rushed into the fire. Seeing this, Ling Xue followed him in without hesitation. In the flames, Ling Xue tore off Zhou Xing's bloody clothes and said with a sob: "If you want to die, take me with you. Anyway, I've long been tired of the throne!" Zhou Xing looked at Ling Xue, his heart was full of emotion. He held Ling Xue's hand tightly and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I won't let anything happen to you."

The emperor's illness became more and more serious, and he finally died. The emperor summoned Zhou Xing and Ling Xue. He saw the feelings between Ling Xue and Zhou Xing, and also understood Zhou Xing's ability and loyalty. So the emperor appointed Zhou Xing as a fourth-rank maritime envoy, handed Ling Xue's hand to him, and said weakly: "The girl lost the bet, so I have to compensate her with a son-in-law..."

After the new emperor ascended the throne, the second prince was still unwilling to accept defeat, and he incited his old subordinates to rebellion. Zhou Xing led the improved fleet to raid the rebel port. Ling Xue stood at the bow and shot the enemy flag rope. She looked back at Zhou Xing and asked with a smile: "Is the imperial merchant now considered a royal pirate?" Zhou Xing smiled and replied: "Whatever your highness says is what it is."

After the rebellion was quelled, Zhou Xing resigned from his post. Ling Xue took off her phoenix crown and threw it into the sea, saying, "I never wanted a deep palace." The two lived in seclusion on the island, leading a peaceful life. One day, Ling Xue was in labor when a storm hit. Zhou Xing rushed into the waves to find a midwife, and when he came back, he held the bitten royal red thread in his hand. He looked at Ling Xue and the child, his eyes full of happiness and determination.

Ten years later, a nursery rhyme spread in Ling State: "There is a boat in the sea, carrying the phoenix back to its nest." Someone saw Ling Xue, a fisherwoman wearing a bamboo hat, mending her nets while scolding her son: "If you are naughty again, I will send you to work on a merchant ship with Uncle Zhou!" The scene was warm and beautiful.

Zhou Xing ran into the maid who had informed on the emperor in the past. The maid knelt down in fear, and Zhou Xing handed her a string of copper coins with a smile, saying, "Thank you for your help, otherwise we wouldn't have a peaceful life today." The maid raised her head, her eyes full of gratitude.

At night, Ling Xue, lying on the sea breeze, asked Zhou Xing: "If you could choose again, would you still dare to rescue a troublemaker like me?" Zhou Xing looked at the starry sky and chuckled: "That time the hurricane deviated by three thousand miles, it was to rescue you." The two smiled at each other, and stayed together for the rest of their lives on this quiet island.

Zhou Wentai looked at his wife and said, "Madam, what you said is nonsense. This goes against common sense!"

Liu knelt on the ground and said, "Master, for the sake of the Third Young Master's health, please grant their wish."

Zhou Wentai sighed helplessly: "Forget it, forget it, let's put the gardener somewhere else first and deal with him later."

Ling Xue was taken away, Zhou Xing looked at her back as she walked away, his heart full of worry. He knew that his love journey had just begun, and there would be more difficulties and obstacles waiting for them. But his faith in his heart never wavered, for Ling Xue, for their love, he was willing to give everything.

In the vast interstellar space, a dilapidated small spaceship broke through the silence like a meteor and fell straight towards the abandoned training ground of the Interstellar Military Academy. This spaceship was driven by Ling Xue, a retired interstellar armor commander. At this moment, she staggered out of the spaceship with a strong smell of alcohol and fell into the training ground.

The sharp alarm instantly broke the silence of the training ground, and the students quickly surrounded Ling Xue. Their eyes were full of vigilance and curiosity, and they talked a lot. At this time, Zhou Xing appeared. He was the dean of the Interstellar Military Academy, a scholar with elegant temperament. He raised his hand to stop the students' noise, and his eyes fell on the old armor on Ling Xue. Although the armor was worn out, the medals on it were shining, and Zhou Xing recognized the extraordinaryness of these medals at a glance.

Zhou Xing personally took Ling Xue to the medical room. Seeing her haggard appearance, he couldn't help but sigh softly. While checking Ling Xue's belongings, he found a badge engraved with "Seventh Legion". Zhou Xing's eyes instantly became deep. Seven years ago, the Seventh Legion was completely wiped out for treason.
