Chapter 316: Chapter 108 Song Sao Fish Soup
"The Chengjian Empire?" Du Xixi raised her hand in confusion, brushing the hair by her ear to the back of her head, "I seem to have never heard of it."
Du Xixi had been in the Star Era for a long time, and under the daily discussions with Ke Lian and the others, she had long imbibed the knowledge. Among the empires that could rival the Blue Star Empire interstellarly, she couldn’t say she knew everything clearly, but she had a general understanding.
The mention of this Chengjian Empire’s name made Du Xixi feel it was unfamiliar. It was neither an enemy country of the Blue Star Empire nor an ally.
"A small empire that’s just emerged in the past few years, with nothing noteworthy in its military or national strength." Ke Lian timely offered an explanation, while also couldn’t help but join Du Xixi in showing a mocking smile.
Such a small empire, which they did not deem worthy of attention, actually had the audacity to join with this bunch of brutes to target the Blue Star Empire’s Marshal’s son.
However... including the Minister of the Military, Du Xixi and the others exchanged a few secretive glances.
They couldn’t help but think more; just a small empire, even if it developed rapidly in recent years, but could "Needle Grinding" poison be obtained so easily? Could the public opinion on the Star Network be guided so easily?
Behind all of this, there might be a real mastermind controlling everything. But the seven people in front of them, who carried out the act, likely only understood to the level of the Chengjian Empire.
The general course of this poisoning incident had been understood, so the next matters needed to be handed to the Military Department and Chen Yin to handle.
Du Xixi rubbed her temples, feeling somewhat fatigued as she watched the Minister of the Military take everyone away. Currently, she was just a housewife from a noble family with spare time, only needing to take care of the children and cook. Those sordid things hidden in the shadows didn’t require her to trouble herself.
After a hastily eaten dinner, Ke Xing, as the grandfather, personally coaxed the children to sleep. Miao Miao also went upstairs to help, leaving Du Xixi and Ke Lian somewhat wearily leaning on the sofa, quietly listening to 2569 tidying up the dining table.
"Xixi, how do you think they should be punished?" Ke Lian held Du Xixi’s hand, using his warmth to warm her slightly cold palm, "The Military Department will follow our wishes."
The real culprits behind this incident were yet to be found, but those seven people were indeed the poisoners, and the grave crime would not go unpunished. To have given "Needle Grinding" poison to two innocent infants was intolerable, and even according to the Military Department’s regulations, it would be nothing less than a death sentence.
Therefore, no matter what opinions Du Xixi and Ke Lian, as the parents of the two children, proposed, the Military Department would listen. No matter how painful the punishment, they couldn’t escape the word "death."
"Following my heart, naturally, I hope they get torn to pieces and die a horrible death." Du Xixi rarely spoke such harsh words, but Ke Lian could understand and even hugged her to comfort the anger in her heart.
Du Xixi obediently leaned into Ke Lian’s warm embrace, taking a deep breath, with a hint of helplessness, "But I think that aside from some issues in their thinking, their abilities could be very well utilized."
The awakening of spiritual power talent naturally comes to those with extremely strong spiritual power, like Ke Lian, or Du Xixi.
But these seven individuals appeared quite ordinary, yet their actions were extremely vicious. Each had awakened a spiritual power talent, which showed that if they used their abilities on the right path, they would certainly not live a mediocre life. Instead, they would become exceptional talents!
"So you mean..." Ke Lian thoughtfully lowered his head, gazing into Du Xixi’s gentle amber peach blossom eyes, feeling that these eyes were truly beautiful, and couldn’t resist kissing the corner of her eye.
Du Xixi’s eyes were already slightly red, and being kissed by Ke Lian dispelled much of her sorrow, her flower-like eyes giving Ke Lian a slight glare. She cleared her throat before saying, "Our Blue Star Empire lacks exactly this kind of talent. If the Empire needs them... I’m not opposed to letting them live!"
"But!" Du Xixi at once turned cold-faced, showing some gritted teeth, "They can be spared from death but not from living hard! They’re not allowed to appear in front of me again!"
Du Xixi was no longer the person with a narrow vision she once was. Now, she knew how to look further ahead and how to utilize advantageous talent resources.
The Blue Star Empire currently didn’t lack resources or talent. But when useful talent presented itself at the door, they naturally couldn’t be turned away. Du Xixi believed that the Blue Star Empire had ways to keep these dangerous individuals under control and make them willingly serve the Blue Star Empire.
