118: Chapter 118: Marrying a Male Idol God 118: Chapter 118: Marrying a Male Idol God If there weren’t any benefits and it would just waste her time earning money, it would be totally lame.

Mai Hunter countered, “Isn’t bringing glory to the country and becoming famous considered a benefit?”

“Not really,” Yan Qianyi shook her head.

She naturally wanted to bring glory to the country, but not right now.

After graduating and joining the Military Department, she would have plenty of opportunities to bring glory to the country.

Right now, money was the most important thing to her.

After all, that was the immediate problem she was facing.

“Is there a cash prize?”

Yan Qianyi once again posed the soul-searching question to Mai Hunter.

Mai Hunter was thoroughly stumped.

Understanding his confusion, Yan Qianyi nodded, “Teacher, if there’s nothing else, I’m going back.”

Without any cash prizes, it wasn’t fun.

She didn’t care about those empty honors.

“Wait!” Mai Hunter quickly called out to Yan Qianyi, “I can try to apply for it.”

Yan Qianyi stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at Mai Hunter, showing slight interest, “Can you guarantee you’ll get it?”

“This…

I can’t guarantee it.

If you really need money, I could apply for financial aid for you, but…

from what I understand, your family’s financial situation isn’t bad, so…

it might be difficult to get financial aid.

But as long as you study hard, scholarships are definitely not a problem.”

“Forget it then.” Yan Qianyi, lacking excitement, turned to leave.

How much could financial aid and scholarships amount to?

Combined, they might at most be a few tens of thousands.

That wouldn’t even suffice as pocket change for her.

“Wait!” Mai Hunter dashed in front of Yan Qianyi, blocking her path.

“Is there anything else, Teacher?” asked Yan Qianyi.

If there was nothing, she really needed to get back to making money.

Three days later, she would begin a month-long closed military training.

That meant, apart from these three days, she wouldn’t have any other time to make money.

“Give me a moment, let me think…” Mai Hunter frazzled, scratched his head.

His normally shiny and neatly combed back hair got tousled.

He really valued Yan Qianyi.

He hoped she would participate in the Military Academy’s intercollegiate competition.

Suddenly, an idea lit up in Mai Hunter’s mind, “There’s another benefit!

If you win the championship at the Federation Empire’s military academy intercollegiate competition, the Lord Chief Commander himself will present the award to you and accompany you to intercollegiate competitions between countries.”

Worried that Yan Qianyi might not have the patience to listen further, Mai Hunter spoke very quickly, “You do know our First Commander of the Federation Empire, right?

Having him personally present the award and accompany you is a huge honor!

Many students participate in the competition just for him!”

Mai Hunter rushed through his words in one breath.

Even after speaking, he was still unsure if this point would attract Yan Qianyi.

After all, this student seemed only interested in money.

He tentatively asked, “Does this count as a benefit to you?”

“It does!” Yan Qianyi’s eyes suddenly sparkled.

She excitedly grabbed Mai Hunter’s arm, “Teacher, is everything you said true?”

Mai Hunter, taken aback by her intense reaction, hesitated briefly then nodded, “It’s true.”

“Great!

I’ll participate!”

Mai Hunter heaved a sigh of relief.

He had finally got this little ancestor interested in the competition.

“For the chance to meet him, I’ll work hard!” Yan Qianyi declared fervently.

She was already eagerly looking forward to that day!

She wondered if upon meeting again, he would remember that she was the little girl he had once protected in his arms.

The last time at Kefei Star, she had only caught a fleeting glimpse of him, and at that time, she couldn’t reveal her identity.

“Him?” Mai Hunter puzzled, “Do you mean Lord Commander?”

“Okay.”

She had been worried that after a few years when she graduated from the Military Academy, he might have retired and she wouldn’t be able to see him anymore.

But now, as long as she participated in the fellowship match, she could see him in six months!

Mai Hunter couldn’t help but laugh silently, “Who told you that Lord Commander is an old man?”

“Isn’t he?” Yan Qianyi blinked blankly.

When he rescued her back then, she was only thirteen.

At that time, he seemed to have already been the Commander for two or three years.

To become a Commander, one had to struggle for at least a dozen years, right?

So she guessed, he must be over fifty years old?

Mai Hunter smiled, “Our Lord Chief Commander is still young.”

Hearing this, Yan Qianyi’s eyes lit up, “Really?

How old is he?”

“Not sure exactly, but definitely younger than me.”

“How old are you this year, Teacher?”

“Forty.”

Yan Qianyi’s nimble eyes quickly did the math.

Her idol was at most only a dozen years older than she was!

That meant…

she still had a chance!

Knowing the approximate age of the Commander, Yan Qianyi admired him even more.

He had taken up the position of the Supreme Commander of the Federation Empire at such a young age.

He truly was a god-like figure!

No wonder he was her idol!

She left Mai Hunter’s office happily.

While walking, she pondered in her heart that in a year, his and Mu Yunlie’s marriage of convenience would end, and although she would still be a maiden then, it would technically be a second marriage.

It might be difficult to marry her idol with the status of a second marriage.

It seems that in the future, she needs to work even harder to improve herself, earn more money, and compensate for the stain of a second marriage with other excellent qualities to be worthy of her idol.

With this thought, Yan Qianyi nodded vigorously.

Her life had gained another hope and goal to strive for, making her as spirited as if injected with adrenaline.

She needed to hurry back and make money!

Yan Qianyi, holding her camouflage uniform, quickened her pace.

Suddenly someone appeared in front of her, blocking her path.

Looking up, she saw Qu Yang, her bright eyes dimming slightly.

Not wanting to deal with Qu Yang, she changed direction, but Qu Yang blocked her again.

“What on earth do you want?” Yan Qianyi furrowed her brows.

She really was annoyed by anyone wasting her precious time.

Qu Yang looked at her pleadingly, “Qianyi, I want to have a proper talk with you.”

Yan Qianyi’s face was indifferent, “What else is there to talk about between us?”

“You’re having a tough time living alone out here, right?

I’ll transfer fifty thousand to you, use it first, and let me know if it’s not enough.”

As he spoke, Qu Yang stepped closer to Yan Qianyi.

This scene was seen by Mu Yunlie, who was not far away.

He immediately stopped his steps forward, watching the two with increasingly darkening eyes.

“Thank you for your kindness, I don’t need money,” Yan Qianyi coldly refused Qu Yang.

Qu Yang said sternly, “After all this time, why are you still so stubborn and prideful?”

“After all this time?” Yan Qianyi raised an eyebrow, “Do you think I’m miserable now?”

“Isn’t that the case?”

Even though she left the Yan Family holding five percent of Yan’s shares, those shares couldn’t be cashed out yet, so how would she make a living?

Yan Qianyi found it amusing, “Qu Yang, have you forgotten that I still have a brother?

You should know what status my brother holds, right?”
