Marshal, Please Calm Down (MARSHAL)
As long as there are Guide Institutions in the various planets within the Federation, they can conduct sentinel-guide spiritual power matching. Of course, appointments can also be made online.
This is similar to a pre-marital health check; as long as both the sentinel and guide are ready to board the plane for marriage, they generally do this. The result is not important; it is merely a record of information.
Wu Zimo and Scott are fully aware of their 100% compatibility; those in the know, like Madam Alman, are also aware. However, the public is filled with shock and doubt. There’s no way around it, as Wu Zimo had secretly arranged this and even created a fake account.
If he hadn’t revealed it himself, no one would have known that the guide was him.
To show their seriousness, Scott and Wu Zimo decided to personally go to the headquarters of the Guide Institution on Capital Star to conduct a spiritual power matching.
This would also allow the missing Marshal to make an appearance, reassuring the worried public. At the same time, it would create a buzz, drawing public attention and facilitating the cleaning operations led by Xuanyuan Chengtian and his team.
Those traitors hidden within the Federation have been operating for many years, and their identities and influence must be significant. Now, uprooting them will surely cause panic among the public, who are unaware of the true situation. With the Marshal's wedding taking precedence, everyone’s attention would be diverted from other matters.
As for the issue of registering their marriage so early, Wu Zimo had already calmed down. Under Madam Alman’s nervous yet expectant gaze, along with the implicit threat from the Marshal, how could he dare to voice any objections?
However, to be honest, after uniting with Scott, Wu Zimo was actually quite eager to stamp a seal on his Marshal.
One must understand how many fans Scott has in the galaxy. What puzzled Wu Zimo was that among the fans in the galaxy, it was not popular to refer to their idols as husbands or to talk about wanting to have children with them.
In this regard, Wu Zimo could only conclude that the mindset of interstellar people was different from the environment he lived in during his previous life.
The Marshal of Heaven Wrath Corps was going to the Guide Institution on Capital Star for a spiritual power matching, and such a significant event would surely have the Guide Institution in a flurry of preparations.
Only the main characters, Scott and Wu Zimo, remained very relaxed, having been awakened by the anxious Madam Alman that morning.
The two did not sleep together; this was Wu Zimo's final insistence!
—It’s too dangerous! Even if they were to do that, it should wait until after the wedding! If it can be delayed, then delay it...
After getting ready, they had breakfast with Madam Alman, and then, under the ambiguous gaze of Rocard and the blessing-filled gaze of Madam Alman, they boarded the Alman battleship and flew towards Capital Star.
Capital Star, or rather, the entire Federation was in an uproar after seeing the statement issued by the Alman family on their official website from the StarNetwork.
Although there had been a statement from the presidential office earlier, it was nothing like the Alman family’s. The Alman family’s statement clearly stated that Scott Alman would be conducting a spiritual power matching with Wu Zimo at the Federation Guide Institution today, and they would register their marriage, with the wedding date to be announced later.
When the Alman family’s statement was released, the StarNetwork seemed to have been paused. Initially, the public had been mentally prepared, but now that it was made so clear, it evoked an indescribable feeling.
Their idol was preparing to get married!?
[By the way, is this Wu Zimo the one who was quite famous at the First Military Academy?]
[Yes, yes, didn’t they say he hadn’t awakened as a guide? Then he transferred to the logistics department.]
[Could it be a coincidence?]
[Absolutely not! My brother’s boss’s good friend’s husband’s brother is an insider at the Heaven Wrath Corps headquarters, and I can guarantee with my life that this Wu Zimo is the one!]
[...Is the person above speaking in riddles? But it feels gloomy that our idol is getting married.]
[Oh, what’s there to be gloomy about? We should be happy; our idol finally has someone!]
[The person above, you might get a bag thrown over your head by the brainless fans... ]
[Is anyone planning to go to the Guide Institution tomorrow to watch our idol and his lover? Should we group up?]
[Yes!]
[+1]
...
[No need to group up; I’m an employee of the Guide Institution, wahahaha! I can observe our idol and his lover up close!]
[So envious!]
[So jealous!]
[Waaah, I have class tomorrow and can’t leave school!]
...
Wu Zimo had no time to pay attention to the various comments from the Marshal's fans on the StarNetwork. The Alman battleship was very fast, and within an hour, Capital Star appeared before them.
When the Alman ship landed at the designated docking point, he and Scott boarded a flying vehicle to the headquarters of the Guide Institution. Looking at the dense crowd below, he was relieved he didn’t have a phobia of crowds; otherwise, he would definitely have goosebumps.
“Is today some kind of holiday?”
Why else would there be so many people at the Guide Institution? It was comparable to a train station during the Spring Festival!
Scott glanced at the bewildered youth who was startled by the crowd below and, after a moment of silence, decided not to tell him that those people were there to watch them.
Scott had long learned to ignore being watched. After the flying vehicle landed, he directly wrapped his arm around Wu Zimo and walked down, heading towards Madam Maria, who had been waiting for them at the entrance.
As Wu Zimo and Scott stepped off the flying vehicle, the distant crowd erupted in various screams.
Watching their idol embrace a petite youth as they descended, matching his steps with the youth’s, and caring for him along the way, even though they couldn’t see the youth’s face, the fans who loved to imagine could already conjure up thousands of words in their minds.
[So our idol can be this gentle!]
[Yes! The live audience says our idol will definitely be very happy with his lover!]
[Indeed, the ice mountain melting turns into a volcano.]
“Welcome, Marshal Alman.”
As soon as Madam Maria saw that Scott had finally arrived, she immediately greeted them with a radiant smile. She first greeted Scott, and when her gaze shifted to Wu Zimo beside him, it turned into one of affection and warmth.
“Hello, Wu Zimo. I am the head of the Guide Institution; you can call me Madam Maria. I am so pleased to meet you today.”
Madam Maria was very excited to meet Wu Zimo. She should be the second person, after Wu Zimo, to know their matching result. When she saw the 100% data, it shocked her greatly, and now that she finally saw the main character, she couldn’t help but admire him.
“Hello, Madam Maria.” Wu Zimo certainly wouldn’t be rude to an elder who showed him kindness.
“Haha, you really are a good child. I won’t waste your time any longer; Marshal Alman, please follow me.”
Although Madam Maria cherished Wu Zimo, she didn’t forget the main business. After speaking, she turned and led the two to the spiritual power matching room.
Wu Zimo had already heard about the large spiritual power matching equipment from Luo Ye, and now seeing the actual device, it was indeed quite large. Under Madam Maria’s guidance, they officially began the spiritual power matching.
The results came out quickly. Looking at the red 100% on the screen, even though Madam Maria already knew the result, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth with her hand, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she gazed at the display. Not to mention the staff who had come under the pretext of watching.
Seeing the result with their own eyes was far more direct and impactful than the rumors circulating online.
Scott had finished first and was standing aside. As for the result, he didn’t even look at it; he directly moved to Wu Zimo’s device, and when the result came out, without waiting for the staff to assist, he opened the device himself and helped Wu Zimo out.
As soon as Wu Zimo’s feet touched the ground, he looked up and saw the bright red 100%.
To be honest, it was a bit hard to look at, but his mood was much calmer now compared to when he first saw the result. Turning his head, his black pupils met the silver eyes of Scott, who was gazing at him with deep affection.
Naturally, Wu Zimo smiled at Scott, who was staring at him. The atmosphere between the two made it hard for anyone to interrupt.
“Ahem.”
Even though it was hard to interrupt, Madam Maria had to break their tender gaze. “Although I already knew the result, I still want to congratulate you. Your match is simply a match made in heaven. Of course, the future of your relationship will still depend on the two of you to nurture it carefully.”
As someone who had been through it, Madam Maria had seen couples with high matching rates who were not harmonious after marriage. So the data does not necessarily represent everything; it is merely a foundation.
“Alright, the results are out, and your information has been registered. Although the Civil Affairs Bureau is only a three-minute walk from here, I won’t disturb you any longer.”
It was rare for Madam Maria to make a joke with Scott, and when she looked at Wu Zimo, she playfully winked at him.
“Thank you for your help, Madam Maria.” Scott still held Wu Zimo close, nodded in gratitude to Madam Maria, and without further pleasantries, led Wu Zimo out of the Guide Institution towards the nearby Civil Affairs Bureau.
Before leaving, Wu Zimo turned to glance at Madam Maria, who was seeing them off. He could clearly see encouragement, blessings, and satisfaction in her eyes.
On the way, Wu Zimo suddenly turned to Scott and said, “That lady is a good person.”
Wu Zimo’s sensitivity allowed him to clearly feel that she was a Guide Institution Head who genuinely cared for all sentinels and guides.
Scott didn’t know Wu Zimo’s feelings but nodded nonetheless. Madam Maria was indeed a very warm-hearted lady; one could tell just by seeing how she prepared invitations for Xuanyuan Chengtian at every banquet.
The Civil Affairs Bureau was right next to the Guide Institution. The two walked through the internal passage, so they didn’t see the fans outside. Those fans, upon seeing the newly updated announcement on the Guide Institution’s official website, were straightforwardly informed that the match between Scott Alman and Wu Zimo was indeed 100% and not fabricated.
Once this announcement was released, the uproar it caused was beyond Wu Zimo’s current concern; he was now curious about how marriage registration worked in the interstellar era.
He then discovered that marriage registration in the interstellar era was very simple; they just needed to take a photo together and sign a DNA verification, and that was it.
Well, modern marriage registration isn’t troublesome, but it’s not as straightforward as in the interstellar era.
However, despite the simplicity of the process, there was a lot of knowledge behind it.
In the interstellar era, the entire Federation was interconnected. When the two registered their marriage, all their personal information was recorded. Because they were partners, both could access each other’s personal data. Most importantly, in the interstellar era, there would absolutely be no cases of bigamy [1]!
[1] the act of marrying someone while still legally married to another person.
When they walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Wu Zimo looked at the line on his light brain indicating his marital status as married, with Scott Alman’s name listed as his partner.
As for the line with his name—
“Dear, can we discuss what the name ‘Zimo Wu-Alman’ means?!”
