The Commander's Useless Wife Is Actually a Hidden Boss!-Chapter 209 Celia’s Invitation

Lin Fu was quite satisfied with the food in the school cafeteria, especially the ingredients used in Cafeteria No. 2, which were top-quality Exotic Beast Meat.

"Mervin, where do you think we should go?" Lin Fu sought Mervin’s opinion. fгeewebnovёl.com

"I have some family matters to attend to and need to go back."

"Oh, I see! Alright then, off you go!"

Since Mervin left and the group was no longer complete, everyone else also dispersed.

Lin Fu, standing on her newly acquired flight device barely a meter off the ground, glided gracefully through the air. Although the device was small, it could surpass the speed of sound and was simple and flexible to operate.

Humanity had developed to an interstellar civilization stage where flying as described in cultivation novels, riding on swords through the sky, was no longer a fantasy.

Ever since she got her hands on the flight device, Lin Fu was completely enamored with it.

She finally understood why so many were eager to join the Military Academy and enlist. After all, it was very difficult for ordinary people to obtain the rights to use flight devices, not to mention Mechas that were Taboo Weapons.

"Lin Fu."

A call came from behind, and Lin Fu tapped her toes lightly to control her speed and turned around to look back.

"Huh? Why is it her?"

Lin Fu felt a slight surprise in her heart, as she didn’t think she was acquainted with this person.

"I’m so glad I finally caught up with you." Celia wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and revealed a relieved smile.

"Celia, is there something you want from me?"

"I was wondering if you’d like to have dinner together tonight, if you’re free?"

"Dinner?"

Lin Fu’s gaze turned odd when she looked at Celia; she had a certain understanding of this young lady. She was not the kind to be easygoing or to invite someone out for a meal on a whim.

Celia noticed Lin Fu’s suspicion and took the initiative to explain, "Here’s the thing, Nolan and I would like to discuss with you about coordinating in the upcoming competition. Although we’re not on the same team, we are still from the same school, and I think how we perform in the competition should be very important to you as well."

That last sentence hit Lin Fu’s soft spot.

Yet she kept her composure, "I am not the team leader, nor the soul of our team. You and Nolan should look for our leader, or Mervin would be more appropriate."

"I’ll just say it directly!"

Celia spread her hands in a straightforward manner, "During the annual competition for new students, there is often a lot of dark scheming involved, after all, it’s common for siblings from the same family to end up in different Military Academies. When weighing family interests against school interests, many will choose their family without hesitation."

Lin Fu caught the implication, "You mean some people might deliberately lose the competition, or even become a drag, tripping up their own kin?"

"Exactly, I am not familiar with Ivan, so I can’t be sure if he is trustworthy." Celia turned the conversation, "But you are different. If the school loses, you will not only lose your Military Academy Students’ status but also face imprisonment. Your future would be ruined and even..."

Celia paused for a moment with significant implication, "You would lose the status you currently possess."

"But, how can I be certain that you and Nolan are trustworthy?" Lin Fu seemingly didn’t catch the hint in Celia’s words, sharply countering.

Celia blinked and then smiled wryly, "I have many siblings. If I can’t always stay ahead of those below me, I would immediately lose my current status. How could I possibly joke about my future and standing? We, born into such families, cannot afford to step back, for there is a steep cliff right behind us."

Since Celia had made her point so clear, and their goals aligned, Lin Fu had to show some sincerity as well.
