Half an hour later, Lu Shinian woke up from a state of tranquility.
The familiar yet unfamiliar environnt seed to remind him of sothing.
Lu Shinian frowned slightly, instinctively touched the mask on his face.
Fortunately, it’s still there.
He raised his eyes and looked at Su Ruan, who was sitting not far away, and spoke, "Where am I?"
Su Ruan shook his head, looking innocent and softly replied, "I don’t know, you fell asleep as soon as you logged in."
"Can’t sleep in reality? Why co to the Second World to sleep?"
Lu Shinian frowned, striving to recall the events that happened before.
He rembered he was handling docunts, suddenly sensing sothing was amiss, and then...
Then he couldn’t rember.
Could it be during the Ancestral Stage, he instinctively entered the Second World to find Su Ruan?
After all, only by staying beside her could he calm down.
"Well, can’t sleep in reality." Lu Shinian replied.
He didn’t want to expose that he was Lu Shinian for now, especially as the nickna "Little Sweet" was too embarrassing.
"But I saw you slept quite well just now." Su Ruan stifled a laugh, "How do you feel now?"
"Very good." Lu Shinian stood up, his back straight.
Whether he really slept well or not, he felt that the spiritual sea, which usually ached, wasn’t that painful anymore.
"I feel my spiritual sea has relaxed a lot."
This answer surprised Su Ruan.
She nodded thoughtfully, and then laughed, "Although you rested well in the Second World, you should also rest well in reality."
Lu Shinian’s eyes flashed, and he suddenly said, "I want to sleep, but can’t."
"Oh?" Su Ruan beca intrigued, "Why can’t you sleep?"
"My wife doesn’t let hold her when sleeping." Lu Shinian complained about her behavior, relying on Su Ruan not knowing his identity.
Su Ruan: ???
She tilted her head slightly, corners of her mouth raised slightly, then suppressed it, made a light cough and said, "So you have a wife?"
"Why won’t she let you hold her when sleeping?"
Lu Shinian saw her interest and continued, "She probably doesn’t like ."
With a hint of distress in his voice, "She always wants to escape from my side."
But he absolutely couldn’t allow her to escape from him.
After saying that, he nonchalantly asked, "Su, how about you?"
"Are you single or...?"
"I’m married." Su Ruan replied, "As for the spouse, I can’t tell you, it needs to be kept secret."
Lu Shinian’s hands, hanging by his sides, clenched slightly, his long lashes dropped, covering the light in his eyes.
As the interstellar First Commander, the wedding shouldn’t have been so grand as to be broadcasted across the entire interstellar space.
He had too many enemies, with a special identity, naturally, his other half should be hidden where possible, just like the Second Legion’s commander, no one knows what his wife looks like, only that he has a wife.
But he very much wanted everyone in the interstellar to know Ruan Ruan belonged to him.
He wanted to declare to everyone in the interstellar space that Ruan Ruan was his, soone he cherished in his heart, hence he decided to broadcast the wedding.
Yet no one expected that she would actually flee the wedding.
Perhaps he thought of sothing, a dark gleam passed in Lu Shinian’s eyes.
"Why keep it a secret?" he pressed on.
Everyone knew she was his, why keep it a secret?
Su Ruan shrugged, "Because his identity is special, greatly adored, I’m afraid of being scolded if I say it."
Back then, quite a few criticized her, till now, there are still quite a few abusive ssages piled up in private ssages.
Lu Shinian was slightly stunned.
This was sothing he had not considered.
Faced with those insults and abuse on the Star Network, she must have felt very sad.
"Sorry." He said softly, his figure gradually faded, and he unexpectedly logged off first.
Su Ruan stared at the empty room, blinking.
She hadn’t said anything yet, how did he log off?
Maybe there was sothing important. Su Ruan thought, setting the room to do-not-disturb mode, and picked up another Level 2 Energy Stone to study.

In the Military Departnt, inside the commander’s office.
Lu Shinian erged from the holographic chamber.
The uniform on his body was sowhat disheveled, probably ssed up by his own Ancestral Stage self.
He stood straight, his clearly defined hands buttoned the open two buttons tightly, tidying up his uniform.
The once disorderly uniform beca neat, and he returned to being the calm, self-possessed, and rationally strong commander.
He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, observing the soldiers training in the central square, his gaze deep, pondering sothing.
Ten minutes later.
Vice Wang entered the office, respectfully saluting.
"Commander!"
"Hmm." Lu Shinian’s figure tall, with his back to Vice Wang, light fell on him, iron-blooded ruthless, yet so strong as to be indestructible.
"Investigate the dia that was most active when Su Ruan and I married, and sue them for slander."
He was quite adept at pursuing matters post-event.
Vice Wang was internally surprised, his respect for Su Ruan grew deeper.
Back when Lu Shinian was about to marry Su Ruan, no one took it seriously.
No one expected the commander to hold Su Ruan in such high regard, to settle scores with the dia that were most active back then after all this ti.
Vice Wang felt so bewildernt, having followed the commander for years, he had never seen the commander and Su Ruan have any interactions, except for that one ti at the Shen Family banquet when the commander saw Su Ruan, and decided to have her.
Was this what the ancients referred to as love at first sight?
Vice Wang thought to himself, simultaneously responding, "Yes!"
Lu Shinian replied faintly, then asked, "How’s Li Si’s research coming along?"
Vice Wang was sowhat troubled, "Commander, Li Si said it’s impossible for a spiritual power level of E to pilot a cha, he can’t research it."
"That’s because he’s useless." Lu Shinian’s expression was cold, "Have him co see personally."
"Yes!" Vice Wang responded, quickly retreating.
————
Ti quickly passed until evening.
After dinner, Lu Shinian called Su Ruan over, a smile playing on his lips, "Ruan Ruan, co to the Military Departnt with in a few days to play? Hmm?"
"What to do at the Military Departnt?" Su Ruan asked curiously.
"I’ll have Li Si check your spiritual power level." Lu Shinian explained, "He’s a cha Manufacturing Master at the Logistics Departnt, I’ll have him research a cha you can pilot."
Su Ruan’s long lashes trembled.
Lu Shinian didn’t know her spiritual power level had increased; if he found out, it would inevitably lead to questions.
She needed to find ti to discuss her spiritual power increase with Lu Shinian.
But for now...
"I’m actually not interested in piloting cha." Su Ruan wrapped her arms around Lu Shinian’s and softly said, "I just want to sit in the commander’s side seat."
Lu Shinian’s eyes suddenly deepened, his throat moved, his large hand grasped her wrist, fingertips gently caressed her wrist center, his voice hoarse with a few notes.
"Really?"
