"The Clairvoyant?
Him again. "
Lan Qing paused for a moment. "There's still about a month until our appointment with the Clairvoyant. You should be back by then.
Remember to remind Ali and Ah-Cheng.
Since you're back safely, you should let them know you're safe. "
"Yeah, I know.
Bro, I plan to leave tomorrow to see Dad. If not, I'm afraid I won't have the courage. "Lan Jue suddenly made up her mind.
Lan Qing asked, "Are you bringing that girl with you?"
Lan Jue hesitated. "Forget it. I'll go back myself."
He had wanted to bring Zhou Qianlin with him, but after everything that had happened, he was a little hesitant. After all, if they weren't close enough, he didn't want to bring anyone to disturb Dad.
The uncertainty of Qianlin's situation made him shrink back.
Lan Qing said, "Send my regards to Dad."
"Of course."
After hanging up with Lan Qing, Lan Jue immediately called Chu Cheng's number.
Compared to the time on Planet Luo, this time the call went through.
"You're here?" Chu Cheng's voice came through.
"Yeah, I just got here. Don't worry." Lan Jue smiled.
Chu Cheng was silent for a moment. "I'm sorry, I wasn't able to help."
Lan Jue laughed. "We're brothers. What's the point of saying that?
Don't tell me I don't know what you've done for me.
Alright, don't think about it.
Are you guys alright? "
Chu Cheng said, "His Majesty the Terminator doesn't seem to be in a good mood. I heard Titan got beaten up."
Lan Jue said, "Don't forget to come to Skyfire Avenue in a month. We'll see the Clairvoyant together.
Perhaps, this was the last chance for her to see him.
Is Ali alright?
He helped me at the closing ceremony. "
"He's fine," Chu Cheng said.
Even the Terminator and the Spacetime Sovereigns wouldn't easily make a move against the Hanhai Group.
The power of the Neptune Group will only be stronger than you think.
Ah Li was probably already on his way back to Europa.
By the way, watch out for those bastards from the Pontiff's Citadel. The Pontiff himself is here to deal with you. "
Lan Jue: "I know.
Be careful yourself, don't get sucked dry by women. "
Chu Cheng snorted.
"I won't. I have a true love now.
I've decided to go to Europa soon. I'm going to pursue Liliana. This time, I'm serious. "
Lan Jue was a little speechless as she said, "You really change three times in a day.
I really want to know how long you can be serious this time. "
Chu Cheng said, "All right, all right, let's hang up.
I'll see you in a month. "
Hanging up with Chu Cheng, Lan Jue dialed in Huali's number. Generally speaking, on a long-distance ship, communication was impossible.
There was no way to conduct interstellar communication. Only some special spaceships with enough high-tech equipment could do it.
Of course, this wasn't a problem for the Hanhai Group.
Tomorrow, home!
Lan Jue took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. She crossed her arms in front of her chest, her eyes unfocused.
The next day, the sun shone brightly.
Zhou Qianlin walked quietly down Skyfire Avenue, clad in a long white dress. In her arms was a heavy black box.
She walked down Skyfire Avenue's cobblestones.
She seemed to be in a daze, her steps slow. She seemed to be struggling with something.
There were dark circles under her eyes, a sign that she hadn't slept well the night before.
To be precise, she had been struggling all the time. She had used all her strength to finally make up her mind.
Zeus Jewelry Shop wasn't far ahead. Looking at the blue wall and the golden lightning symbol, she suddenly gritted her teeth and strode toward Zeus Jewelry Shop.
Some things couldn't pass the test of her heart.
She couldn't avoid it forever. She had to face it eventually.
Instead of affecting her feelings, it was better to make it clear.
"Ding Ling Ling." The doorbell of Zeus Jewelry Shop rang.
Inside the shop, Xiu Xiu and Kerr looked at the door at the same time.
"Welcome." Kerr walked over with a smile.
She had a professional smile on her face.
When she saw that it was Zhou Qianlin who walked in, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"It's you!
Miss Zhou.
Hello. "Kerr greeted her with a smile, but it was obvious that she was keeping a certain distance.
Zhou Qianlin nodded to her and forced a smile. "Hello, I'm looking for Lan Jue. Is he here?"
Kerr saw that she was in a trance and felt it was strange.
At this time, Xiu Xiu had already walked over. "Sorry, Miss Zhou. The boss is not here."
Zhou Qianlin was stunned for a moment, but she seemed to be slightly relieved. "He's not here?
Where did he go?
When will he be back? "
Xiu Xiu said, "The boss went far away. He left early in the morning.
He should be going to another planet.
We don't know what he's going to do. You know, we're just shop assistants. It's not good for us to ask too much. "
Left?
He left?
To another planet?
Zhou Qianlin's delicate body swayed slightly. She pursed her lips, trying hard not to let the tears fall. She nodded gently. "Thank you."
Ke 'er watched as Qianlin pushed open the door and left. Then she turned to Xiuxiu. "There's something wrong with her!
The boss was in such a hurry to leave. Could it be because of her? "
Xiu Xiu shook her head. "I'm not sure.
But we can't tell her where the boss is. "
At this point, her usually gentle and beautiful eyes revealed a hint of coldness.
After leaving Zeus Jewelry Shop, Zhou Qianlin leaned against the wall outside as if she had lost all strength.
"He's still angry at me after all. He must have gone to see Jueti.
But he didn't bring me. "She knew very well where Lan Jue was going.
She tried to summon him with the Spirit Caller gem, but there was no response. It was obvious he wasn't on Skyfire.
That's right!
Under such circumstances, I rejected him like that.
How could he not be angry?
A bitter taste formed at the corner of her mouth.
She closed her eyes as tears flowed down her cheeks, drenching her cheeks.
It took her a long time to recover, and she staggered back in the direction she came from.
Lan Jue left early in the morning. He seemed to be avoiding something.
Zeus Two flew steadily through space. The stars were always so beautiful, so beautiful that it took one's breath away.
What is she trying to tell me?
Although Lan Jue was alone, Zeus Two's mainframe could help him with most of the controls. He had plenty of time to think.
He didn't know why, but he was afraid of what Zhou Qianlin would bring. That was why he left early in the morning. He felt like he was avoiding something.
Perhaps a temporary separation was the best choice. Giving each other some time to calm down and think things through was always a good thing.
Zeus Two and Zeus One were basically the same.
The Bookworm had helped him upgrade Zeus One, and he'd left behind the instructions. He just hadn't had the time to upgrade Zeus Two and Zeus Three yet.
Even so, Zeus Two could still fly at the speed of light.
Piloting a ship alone in space was a different experience. The solitude of the environment made one feel more at peace, and allowed one to sink deeper into thought.
Lan Jue sat in front of the controls, his fingers moving rhythmically as he tapped away at the keyboard in front of him.
On the screen in front of him, all sorts of parts and data flashed by.
Now he finally had the time to settle down and do what he should have done earlier. He began to design the blueprints for Thor's evolution. No one knew Thor better than he did, and it was time for his old friend to evolve as well. He had the Phylactery Stone, and he'd purchased a large number of high-grade power gems.
The Zeus Jewelry Shop had ample funds, and Mika and the others had upgraded their suits. All that was left was Lan Jue's.
First he had to complete the design, then he could gather the materials. The final assembly and upgrade process would be much simpler.
As for the technical aspects, with the Bookworm and Keeper there, they were not a problem.
But when it came to the design, Lan Jue had to do it himself.
Only then could it be perfect.
When a person was concentrating on something, time would always pass very quickly.
Zeus Two flew steadily through space.
Before he knew it, two days had gone by.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! An ear-piercing alarm roused Lan Jue.
He was immersed in an important design, and his head snapped up to look at the main controls.
Then, his eyes suddenly became serious, and his pupils instantly shrank.
On the ship's screen, a purple dot of light was approaching him at an alarming speed.
The radar had locked on to it.
"Zoom in and see what it is.
Charge the main cannon! "
Lan Jue's voice was low. From the way it was approaching, he could tell it was coming for him.
When an unknown object approached in space, the first thing to do was to be alert.
"Attempt to contact the target has failed. Radar detected as a lifeform." The computer's human-like voice answered.
The image on the screen zoomed in.
It was a purplish-red object, shaped like a giant date pit. Its tail was emitting a purplish-red light, and it was moving at an incredible speed.
But Lan Jue quickly discovered that its flight pattern was rather unique. It didn't just fly at high speed, but it would suddenly accelerate, then slow down again, as if gathering strength. Then it would emit a burst of purplish-red light and accelerate again.
Every time it sped up, it was like a flash of purplish-red light.
"Main cannon charging complete." The AI's voice rang out.
Lan Jue quickly switched to manual control of Zeus Two. The ship slowed down, and the main cannon slowly peeked out, locked on to its target.
Both sides were fast, and the distance between them was fast.
The radar showed that it was about three times the size of Zeus Two.
Lan Jue's eyes narrowed, and she pressed the launch button. A blinding blue light burst forth from Zeus Two, heading straight for the creature.
