Yu Zhili hesitated for a moment, looking around before offering a helpless, bitter smile,
“Little brother, if you had told me earlier that you and Minister Qin were so close, I wouldn’t have made those mistakes.
Please forgive me, forgive me.”
Qin Xiao?
Li Ming suddenly understood, this guy was trying to win people over.
Yu Zhili apologized repeatedly while Li Ming magnanimously indicated it was no issue and saw him off before returning to Old Yang’s shop.
Only to see Old Yang massaging his back and saying, “Every year brings something strange, but yesterday, people from Minister Qin came over, claiming it has been unsafe recently.
They want to move me and Yu’er to the dormitories near the Guard Building.”
“And today, this Mr.
Yu suddenly doesn’t want his hundred thousand Star Coin house anymore, quite odd.”
“Is that so…” Li Ming paused mid-action, thinking the old fox was really up to a lot of tricks.
“What do you think?”
Old Yang was indifferent, “What’s this about safety?
I’ve been living here for decades and nothing has happened.
All the neighbors are here.
If I moved, I wouldn’t be used to it.”
After a bit of idle chatter, Yang Yu mentioned something, “I heard from a teacher that among the Blue Star personnel accompanying the interstellar inspection team, there is a professor from the Capital University of Science and Technology with high prestige.”
“He has entrusted the Silver Grey Star Education Department to meet some of us who have already been accepted into the Capital University of Science and Technology.”
“Professor?” Li Ming heard for the first time about the Blue Star accompanying members from Yang Yu; he hadn’t expected that.
“Yes…
Wu Yanqing, Professor Wu,” Yang Yu said with anticipation, “His gene seed purification theories were once included in several interstellar laboratories.
It even started a craze across the stars.”
“However, it seems to have been debunked in the past two years, and his reputation in the stars has waned.
It’s a shame he stopped mentoring students years ago, or it would have been great to be one of his students.”
Yang Yu sighed, clearly not holding out much hope.
Li Ming just listened and didn’t pay much attention as he returned home.
……
Outside Silver Grey City
Hum!
A silver-white gull-winged spaceship hovered above the sand dunes, the glowing blue antigravity rings stirring up swirls of sand.
The hatch opened, and several figures jumped down.
“Just one month has passed, and the planet has already changed so much,” the old man with the pipe remarked with emotion.
“Although the Sixth Patrol Fleet is a bunch of good-for-nothings, they’re certainly sufficient to suppress this place.”
“Let’s find our target quickly.
If we’re cornered by the Sixth Patrol Fleet here, we’ll be in trouble.”
“Understood.”
……
“Old Li, your son is really something else.
You must have been fooling me on purpose, afraid he would follow this path,” the limping man muttered as he walked through the silent sewers.
Suddenly, he stopped and looked up, “Hmm, this should be the place.”
The bed was silently pushed aside, and the limping man looked around with a sense of nostalgia.
“Old Li, once again… fuck!”
The limping man shuddered, seeing a figure leaning against the door frame.
Li Ming’s eyes were strange, “Uncle Limp, you really do have a unique way of making an entrance.”
“You little…” the limping man’s face reddened, annoyed by his earlier blunder.
But then a terrifying thought struck him.
The last time he came here, Li Ming hadn’t noticed him at all and slept like a log.
But this time, it was as if Li Ming had been waiting for him, and moreover, he hadn’t detected his presence at all up until now.
