Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 859 Confrontation
"Brother Wenzhi?" Shi Jia shouted in surprise.

"Where did you go just now?" Xue Wenzhi said seriously.

"Ah? I just felt sick in my stomach. So I went to the bathroom." Shi Jia was a little embarrassed. "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Xue Wenzhi looked behind her and it was indeed the direction leading to the bathroom.

"There's something abnormal about the energy in the training ground. The military is investigating the matter. Everyone who has entered the training ground must be investigated." Xue Wen said.

"Ah? Abnormal energy?" Shi Jia looked puzzled.

"I heard from Ye Yuan and the others that you were the last one to leave. Did you notice anything strange?" Xue Wenzhi said as they walked with Shi Jia.

There weren't many people walking along the road, and it was so quiet that even the humming of machinery could be heard from far away.

Shi Jia shook his head. "No, after Ye Yuan and the others left, I suddenly felt uncomfortable in my stomach. So I went to the bathroom and just came out."

Xue Wenzhi nodded. He didn’t think this matter had anything to do with Shi Jia.

"Brother Wenzhi, can I ask if there's anything abnormal about the energy in the training ground?" Shi Jia looked curious.

"We're still investigating." Xue Wenzhi naturally knew the truth, but everything related to the breath of life was confidential. The two soon arrived near the training ground.

Shi Jia saw from afar a huge group of people standing there. He knew without counting that there were more than a hundred of them.

"Major General, I found Shi Jia."

Huo Shiyuan came over with a sullen face, "I understand, go ahead."

"Yes!" Xue Wenzhi saluted and turned to walk towards the crowd.

Shi Jia felt guilty when she saw her adopted brother had a serious face. She felt that her adopted brother already knew that she was the one who caused the commotion?

"elder brother?"

"Jia Jia." Huo Shiyuan looked at her seriously.

"Hmm?" I had a bad feeling.

"The Marshal just sent me the surveillance footage near the training ground."

Finished!

Shi Jia sighed. There was no way to hide it.

"You were the last person to show up at the training ground."

"Is it me? I was indeed the last one to leave. Was there no one else going in after I left?" Shi Jia pretended to be dumb. She thought Shi Ze would not let the surveillance camera capture him.

In that case... No, how could we explain her sudden appearance near the restroom? Could it be that all the surveillance cameras along the way were broken?

Hmm, it seems like it can’t be explained.

Forget it, I'll just take it one step at a time. My brother can't hurt her.

Huo Shiyuan shook his head. "Maybe the energy is too strong and the surveillance at the back is out of order."

Shi Jia nodded.

"Jia Jia, you..." Huo Shiyuan thought of the scene when they absorbed the crystal of life. With Jia Jia's ability, it is very likely that she can absorb all the breath of life within a radius of ten kilometers.

"Don't worry, the marshal won't do anything to you."

Forget it, I failed at playing dumb.

Shi Jia was dejected and looked at Huo Shiyuan pitifully, "Brother, can I still absorb the breath of life to practice?"

Huo Shiyuan was stunned when he heard this, and hesitated a little, but thinking about the situation of the three parties competing for the breath of life, he nodded, "Okay."

"That's good." Shi Jia looked relieved, "Brother, let's go." Huo Shiyuan glanced at the crowd, reached out and touched Shi Jia's head, "Wait a moment."

Shi Jia understood instantly that leaving now would be too obvious.

Therefore, outsiders only saw Shi Jia and Major General Huo exchange a few words and then walk back into the crowd.

After returning to Ye Yuan and the others, Shi Jia was inevitably questioned again. Especially Mo Heng looked at Shi Jia with an expression that said, "I know your secret."

Shi Jia rolled his eyes and refused to admit that he had done anything. It didn't matter if his adopted brother and the marshal knew about it, after all, they had strong evidence in the form of surveillance footage.

The military investigation lasted for an hour, and then everyone was notified that there was a malfunction in the training ground’s facilities and that training had to be suspended, and they dispersed.

Shi Jia said goodbye to everyone, using the excuse that her brother was going to host a welcoming party for her, and then she and Huo Shiyuan took a flying car to Marshal Qin Jun's office building.

"It's you, a little girl, who caused such a big fuss?" Qin Jun has a bright and heroic appearance. Years of killing have given her an aura that makes her look intimidating without even getting angry.

At this moment, a light sentence makes people feel breathless.

Well, Shi Jia would not have such a feeling. Although her memory was incomplete, she was also a person who had experienced thousands of years and gone through many vicissitudes of life.

However, Huo Shijia's age and status meant that he could only act terrified. "I, I didn't know it would be like this." Shijia looked so scared that he was about to cry.

"You don't know? You've really messed us up."

Having said that, Qin Jun's aura was somewhat restrained, and he looked like an elder who was helpless when faced with the younger generation's coquettish behavior.

"I'm sorry, I, will I still be able to practice in the future?" Shi Jia frowned and looked dejected and pitiful.

Qin Jun was stunned. "Yes, why not?"

Shi Jia was stunned when she heard this. This reaction didn't seem right. He let her go so easily? No way?
who cares!
"Really?" Shi Jia looked at Qin Jun happily, "Marshal, you are so kind!"

Qin Jun pulled the corner of her mouth. Sure enough! This little girl was pretending to be like her! How could a little girl who could survive in the pirates' nest for a month and escape from the pirates' pursuit be a little sheep?
"but--"

"Huh?" Shi Jia, pretending to be complacent, looked up in confusion.

"You caused such a big noise and absorbed so much life energy. It's impossible for you not to be punished." Qin Jun looked at the little girl, looking forward to her reaction.

"Ah? Punishment?" Shi Jia's face fell, and he took a deep breath, "Okay, tell me, what punishment will I receive?"

Qin Jun was surprised. She didn't quite understand what the little girl was thinking. Wasn't she going to try to explain herself?

Shi Jia looked like he was ready to correct his mistakes. "Just like you said, I did something wrong. Although I had no idea that it would cause such a big commotion, it did attract the attention of other forces. Marshal, you must have spent a lot of effort to cover up my existence. So..."

"I am willing to accept the punishment. As long as I can continue to stay on the planet HX0581."

Shi Jia spoke sincerely, and Qin Jun listened with admiration. He was indeed worthy of being born into a military family. Although he was young, he had a great vision.

Qin Jun nodded in satisfaction. His heart moved, and he said seriously, "Since you understand, I will give you two choices. One, join the Fifth Legion, two, pay compensation in star coins. The specific amount is calculated based on the value of the life breath you absorbed, and the sum of the manpower, material resources and money spent on resolving this incident."

Shi Jia's eyes widened. The so-called two choices were actually only one. How valuable is the breath of life? How could she not know? If she could not become the richest person in the galaxy in this life, she would probably not be able to pay for it.

"Marshal, isn't it free for us to come here to practice?"

"It's free, but you have absorbed all the life energy within a ten-kilometer radius at once. Then, no one else will be able to practice for the next three days."

"Okay." Shi Jia sighed. What a mistake!
Qin Jun smiled.

"But I'm only 16 now and still in middle school. I can't join the legion yet, right?" Shi Jia tried hard to act the role of a cute little girl.

"It doesn't matter. Sign the contract first. When you graduate from university, you will belong to the Fifth Legion." Qin Jun was in a good mood.

"Oh, okay. I agree." Shi Jia breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally solved. He felt a little tired.

Afterwards, Qin Jun took Shi Jia to take a talent test. When he saw the results, Qin Jun's eyes lit up. He personally gave Shi Jia some pointers before signing the contract.

When Huo Shiyuan took Shijia away, Qin Jun reminded him, "You will be fully responsible for your sister's safety from now on."
