"Whoosh-"
In the still of the night, a figure suddenly flashed across the deserted street. [One second], enjoy reading exciting novels without pop-up ads for free!
"Is this... really okay?"
Looking at the street flashing by, Yu Liu asked uncertainly.
"Sure! I'm here, don't worry!"
Yan Ning carried Yu Liu on her back and ran wildly through the streets, trying to figure out which way to go while also trying to comfort Yu Liu.
"I always feel uneasy..." Yu Liu reached out and put her arm around Yan Ning's neck, her heart pounding with nervousness. "I don't think I'm up to it..."
"Don't worry, if you really can't do it, I'm here for you! If we confirm that this method won't work, we'll think of other methods. Let's try this one for now; it's the simplest and most direct way!"
As they were talking, they arrived at their destination.
"We've arrived, this is the place."
Yu Liu peeked out and saw that they had stopped in front of a retro-style house. The entire house was built with light red bricks and tiles, and there were two stone lions at the entrance. The heavy wooden door creaked in the night wind.
"The people living here... must be of high status, right?"
This is a future world, full of skyscrapers, some of which are even built in the air. Only high-ranking officials or extremely wealthy businessmen can afford to live in such retro-style mansions.
"Yes, this is where the Alliance's diplomat lives, but he's not our target. I've investigated, and our target is hiding here as a gardener, taking care of the flowers, trees, and shrubs in this mansion. He's an inconspicuous person, so it's alright if we're careful."
Yan Ning pulled two masks out of her pocket: "Besides, even if we really alert the people inside, we have a legitimate reason. That guy is a wicked person who does all sorts of evil. If we let him continue to seek refuge in the diplomat's residence, not to mention how many people outside will die at his hands, the diplomat himself might also lose his life. So, we are helping him eliminate the hidden danger!"
Yan Ning pressed one of the smaller masks tightly against Yu Liu's face, and the mask automatically stayed in place: "With this on, we won't be afraid of being recognized."
"it is good."
Although Yu Liu was still a little uneasy, a strange excitement welled up in her heart.
If this time is successful... then Yu Liu will know where to go from here.
Looking at Yan Ning, who was seriously putting on the mask in front of her, she was once again certain that Yan Ning was that person. Although their personalities were different, the habits ingrained in their bones were the same.
……
The reason Yu Liu and Yan Ning appeared at the diplomat's doorstep was naturally to achieve Yu Liu's goal of gaining more people's favor.
"You said you wanted to become famous and have more people like you?"
Yan Ning was somewhat surprised, clearly not expecting that Yu Liu's big event was this!
"Hmm." Yu Liu nodded seriously, "This is... my wish! But I don't know how to make it come true. Can you help me?"
Since Xiao Yinyuan had personally asked for help, how could Yan Ning refuse?
"Don't worry, I've got it covered!" His eyes were full of seriousness: "Tell me your specific requirements, and I'll analyze them and see how to proceed."
"Actually, there are no specific requirements, only one thing: that others genuinely like me, the more the better."
"I like him..." Yan Ning suddenly realized what she meant: "What kind of liking do you want? Romantic love? That won't do!"
"..." Upon hearing this, Yu Liu stared intently at Yan Ning for a few seconds: "What on earth are you thinking? How could you be so filthy?! What kind of person are you to describe me?! The kind of liking I'm talking about is... well, like a fan liking a celebrity, it has nothing to do with romantic love, it's just pure liking."
"I see!" Yan Ning stroked her chin thoughtfully. "That makes things easier!"
"Easy to handle?" Yu Liu tilted her head. "How could it be easy? I'm the marshal's daughter now. Going out and showing my face would be a disgrace to the marshal, so I can't show my face at all. I've been thinking about it these past few days, and I don't have any special talents or anything like that, so I can't possibly excel in any other area. That's why I'm so annoyed!"
“It’s okay if you don’t have any special talents, I never intended for you to go down that path anyway.” Yan Ning stroked Yu Liu’s hair. “We can find another way. You don’t need to know anything, just a little bit of acting.”
"Acting?" Yu Liu asked, somewhat puzzled. "Acting? That still won't work!"
"It's acting, but not the kind of acting you're thinking of. And the method I'm giving you is definitely the fastest way to make people like you!"
Yan Ning's eyes were full of confidence.
"Then... what method is it?"
Seeing Yu Liu's bewildered look, Yan Ning smiled wickedly: "A Shang, do you know what profession has the most fans in this day and age?"
"Huh? The profession with the most fans, isn't that a celebrity?"
"No, you are wrong!"
Yan Ning's smile was full of confidence: "This is not a time of peace. The war is still going on. The Empire has been making frequent moves recently, and the Alliance has been actively responding. In this time of war, the people's hearts are won by heroes!"
"hero?"
"Yes, hero!" Sunlight shone on Yan Ning's profile, and her radiant smile was like a beam of light, warmly penetrating Yu Liu's heart: "Everyone has a hero in their heart."
"We'll create a hero like this. You don't need to carry the title of marshal's daughter. We'll discard everything else; you'll just be an anonymous superhuman. Anyway, as long as you're that hero, the people's love and admiration are yours!"
"As for how to mold you into a hero, that's up to me!"
