"Actually, it's not like there aren't any."

Barbara had come downstairs sometime ago, finishing her conversation with Mingmei. As soon as she came down, she heard Galen and Louis talking about something.

The more she listened, the more she felt she should voice her opinion at this moment.

"Hmm?"

Hearing Barbara say this, the two of them looked at her. Barbara generously admitted and looked at Galen, saying, "My student, don't you remember?"

Barbara had abandoned her imperial rank and glory to follow Galen to the Federation, and her reputation wasn't particularly good between the Empire and the Federation.

Although he had taught at the Federation Military Academy for a few years out of respect for Galen, there were very few who could truly be called his students.

Therefore, Galen quickly knew who she was talking about.

Because that was the student Barbara had truly taught hand-in-hand. At that time, his presence in the Federation was rather awkward. Therefore, after the other party graduated, he wanted to use Galen's name to take care of his student in the future.

After all, his unlucky student didn't have any backing. Judging from the atmosphere in the Federation before Louis came to power, it was really difficult for the other party to get started.

But what he didn't expect was that soon after, almost all of Galen's last students died on the battlefield, or rather, died in the political games of the Federation at that time.

After that, the only two survivors resolutely withdrew from the military and entered politics.

As a result, his student never met Louis and the others from beginning to end.

Not to mention receiving any secret care.

"Your student?" Louis's eyes lit up, but then he thought of something and asked cautiously, "He is now..."

"Well, as your son saw, probably dead." Mentioning his student, Barbara snorted in dissatisfaction, seemingly not wanting to mention him, but then thought for a while and said, "What your son saw—he was still wearing your combat uniform from back then, right?"

"Yes."

The characteristics of his combat uniform were still very obvious, and generally speaking, it wouldn't be mistaken.

"I wonder what the other party's name is..." Louis understood that someone who could be appreciated by Barbara and taken as a student must not be an unknown person.

"Him..." Mentioning her student, Barbara's thoughts were drawn back to a long time ago, to the two young men who ran out of the underground slave market, one of whom was thin and his eyes were full of hope and longing when he looked at her.

"You should indeed know him. That Colonel Mo Wenshu, who was publicly declared missing but actually perished with the Zerg Queen, with no remains left."

"It's him?!"

Of course, Louis remembered that man, who had become famous in his early years and, before his disappearance, had single-handedly blocked an army of Thousand-Eyed Zerg containing a Zerg Queen.

That time, when the Federation's reinforcements arrived, it was full of Zerg corpses and broken mecha fragments.

Although many people guessed that he was dead, the Federation's military had always filled in the "missing" status in his identity column.

Now, when mentioning anyone in the interstellar who can kill the Zerg Queen, everyone will mention Mei Qiu, but few people know that someone completed this feat many years earlier than Mei Qiu.

"Originally, if he had survived that time, perhaps, the current Marshal of the military..." Louis's tone was a little regretful, and then he remembered that the other party was now in that game, and his eyes lit up, and said, "Actually, he can..."

"No, he can't. The fact that he can exist until now..." Barbara immediately cut off Louis's thoughts, her eyes were cold as she looked at him, and said, "The Marshal of the Federation, not to mention strength, at least he is for the people of the Federation... he is different."

"What supported him to go to that point in the beginning was only for revenge, only to rebuild his planet." Barbara looked at Louis and said again, "In order to avenge and rebuild the homeland in his heart, he has done everything..."

Barbara reminded Louis that such a selfish person might not be as good as he thought.

Even if that was her student, Barbara still didn't say good things about him.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Shu actually has advantages. Back then, you said that no one could withstand your poisonous tongue and your methods of training people, right?"

Now that the person was dead, Galen was still willing to help Barbara praise her student. Even though he had just said that the other party was so unbearable, Barbara's smile never stopped for a while when Mo Wenshu had just entered the military and quickly risen to the rank of colonel by virtue of his military exploits.

"What you said makes it seem like your vision is not good."

"Heh, if I had good vision, I wouldn't have taught two students in a row who were such trash~"

…

"Achoo!"

At this time, Mei Shi, who was traveling on an unknown planet, was chatting with Mingmei.

Mingmei herself didn't expect that she would receive two video calls in a row while she was soaking her feet on her day off.

"Mom, are you okay? Do you have a cold?"

Mingmei looked at the green scenery behind Mei Shi's projection and felt that her question just now was wrong.

"I don't have a cold. My nose suddenly itched. Someone must be scolding me!" Mei Shi rubbed her nose with a tissue, looked at Mingmei, and said, "Today is your day off, so I deliberately sent you a video call at this time~ Even if you sleep in, you should be awake by now."

"I didn't sleep in."

Mingmei shook her head. There were only a few people in their family who liked to sleep in.

Her mother was one, her sister was one, her godfather was one, and it seemed that there were no others left.

According to her second brother, the others would feel uncomfortable if they didn't open their eyes and do something every day.

Oh, this doesn't include Mingmei herself.

She wasn't the kind of person who stirred up trouble.

"Well, what are you doing now? Dating?"

Mei Shi poked her head in the camera, trying to see where Mingmei was at the moment and what she was doing. As a result, it was dark all around, and she couldn't see anything.

Mingmei was about to open her mouth to say that she was soaking her feet when she heard Mei Shi clear her throat at the other end and say, "Actually, we don't object to you being in love, but you are still a few years away from the age of marriage in the interstellar world. Everyone will follow the current ID card and not your actual age, you know?"

Mingmei: "…"

She had never seen a lawless person like her mother who spoke so frankly about her age being tampered with.

"There are still some things you shouldn't do. Kissing and hugging... are okay in private, but anything closer than that is not allowed! Absolutely not!"

"I know, I know..."

Mingmei's ears were about to get calluses from Mei Shi's constant reminders. Her mother had to say this at the end of every video call with her.

"If you and Mu Chen quarrel, communicate more. Your dad and I have no way to give you any advice... Ah! And and and, eat more, don't wrong yourself at school!"

Seeing her mother's tone suddenly become hurried, Mingmei silently counted one, two, three in her heart. Sure enough, as soon as she finished counting three, her mother's projection was pressed off by a big hand that stretched over inexplicably.

Very good, a very standard ending. Her dad took action.
