Jueti's expression also became calm.
The cabin shook and they arrived at their destination.
Jueti got up first and walked out.
Lan Jue looked at Roxanne and said worriedly, "I, you …"
Roxanne suddenly smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't be defeated so easily.
The more he wants me to go, the more I won't leave.
One day, he will get used to me being by his side.
Let's go, let's go out too. "
Lan Jue and Roxanne walked out of the cabin one after another. Lan Jue naturally didn't have the right to say anything about the emotional entanglement of these two old people, nor did she dare to say anything.
But in her heart, she had begun to slightly lean towards Roxanne.
His father was right, he was indeed a person who couldn't stay idle. Even when he and Lan Qing were young, his father often disappeared, and it was normal for him to disappear for a year and a half.
"Chi Bupang." Roxanne suddenly called out.
Jueti stopped and turned to look at her, "You've thought it through?"
Roxanne smiled lightly, "I've thought it through.
You don't want me, right? "
Jueti's expression softened a bit, and he smiled bitterly, "It's not that I don't want you, it's that I don't dare to.
I know myself very well, I can't settle down at all.
I know I actually like you, but … "
"Alright, no need to say more.
That's enough.
I'm leaving! "With that said, Roxanne strode out.
This change was too fast, didn't she just say that she wouldn't leave?
Why did she leave again?
Lan Jue was completely confused, and so was Jueti himself. He knew Roxanne too well, this exceptionally intelligent girl, and he had been entangled with her for nearly a hundred years.
The two of them had split up many times.
How could she let him go so easily?
That couldn't be right?
This wasn't like her!
As he thought about it, Jueti couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
How could it be so easy?
But Roxanne had indeed left.
He left without looking back. No one knew what he was thinking.
However, both Jueti and Lan Jue felt that something was wrong.
"Follow me!" Jueti beckoned to Lan Jue.
Lan Jue hurriedly followed.
Soon, they arrived at a spacious metal room. This was a typical mecha manufacturing room.
All kinds of machinery were available.
"Show me your design."
Jueti had always been able to pick up and let go. He was relieved that Roxanne had left. In his perception, this woman had indeed left.
Lan Jue hurriedly went to the computer at the side and copied her design blueprint.
Ziluo Planet's civilian spaceship base.
Roxanne, who had changed into a fresh outfit, boarded the spaceship and sat down in the first-class cabin.
A sinister smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Chi Bupang, you old bastard. You'll be begging me soon enough.
I won't have to find you myself.
Heh heh heh heh. "
Just then, a melodious female voice sounded.
"Welcome aboard this flight, dear passengers. Our destination is Skyfire, Skyfire City."
Planet An Lun.
Lan Qing stood in front of a large window, watching the bustling scene outside. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
The time for his meeting with the Clairvoyant was fast approaching. It looked like it was time to depart.
Planet An Lun was like a giant machine, constantly churning away at it.
As one of the most important military planets in the Eastern Alliance, resources were constantly being sent in.
Due to the expansion of An Lun's military, training had become more rigorous.
Beep! Beep!
"A-Cheng!" Lan Qing answered the interstellar comms.
"When are we going to Skyfire, boss?" Chu Cheng's lazy voice answered.
"The day after tomorrow." Lan Qing's answer was succinct.
"Oh.
Then I'm ready to depart.
Right, I haven't seen that Ah Jue kid lately. It's like he's gone missing. He won't even answer my calls.
It's been half a month, I wonder where he's gone. "
"He's fine," Lan Qing said. "He'll be back on time."
Chu Cheng said. "The atmosphere here in the Northern Alliance is tense.
The planets at the edge of the system are under military control. Fleets are being mobilized frequently.
Boss.
Any news from your end? "
"Top military secret," Lan Qing replied.
Chu Cheng laughed. "You're still so boring!
Speaking of which.
Now that Ah Jue's gotten stronger, I wonder if you can beat him? "
"Ah Jue said you've gotten stronger, too," Lan Qing said.
"Uh … boss, pretend I didn't say anything."
Hanging up, Lan Qing's lips curled into a faint smile.
"Sir!"
"Come in."
"Marshal, the Bloodiron Khans are ready. Please inspect." An officer bearing the insignia of a major saluted.
"Mm." Lan Qing nodded. "Let's go."
The Bloodiron Khans were a mecha legion that had been reorganized on An Lun. All of them were equipped with the latest Yanhuang mechas. The Bloodiron Khans consisted of three thousand mechas, and every pilot was an Adept.
Their cultivation was no lower than Level 4.
It was Lan Qing's application that had been approved by the military.
The inspiration had come from Lan Jue's A.R.I. class.
A mecha regiment wasn't much of a force to be reckoned with, but it was composed of all the best Adepts and pilots in the Eastern Alliance.
Its commander was none other than Prometheus, the An Lun Supersoldier, Lan Qing!
Without a doubt, when the aliens show up and the war begins, this unit will be on the front lines.
…
The God King No. 1 soared through the endless cosmos. It seemed slow, but it was actually fast.
Twice the speed of light made it a lot faster than the average ship.
However, this speed was far from its limit.
There was only one person in the God King No. 1.
It made the ship, large enough to house a mecha regiment, seem a little empty.
Lan Jue sat in the pilot's seat, a faint smile on her face.
This God King No. 1 was amazing. Aside from the fact that it didn't have the cloaking ability of the newly modified Zeus -1, it was far superior to his own Zeus series.
It was bigger, and more powerful.
In terms of speed, it was blessed by the heavens.
This was a gift from his Old Man before he left.
And then his Old Man left as well, in his Zeus II.
Jueti had a feeling that Roxanne was up to no good in leaving so quickly.
As for what she wanted to do, Jueti didn't want to guess. Leaving was the best course of action.
In front of Lan Jue lay the large purple crystal.
With Jue Di's confirmation, the crystal was filled with the power of life. Like an Adept's Core, this crystal was the Core of the alien beasts.
The energy it contained was comparable to an s-ranked power gem.
It was the same crystal he'd found on Taihua that had extended the lives of the Keeper and Bookworm. It could be said that the Bookworm's ascension to Paragon was due in large part to this crystal.
It was also why the two of them had appeared together during the rescue mission to Luo. Both felt they owed Lan Jue a favor.
The energy within the crystal was too heterogeneous. It needed to be filtered by the Tear of Neptune before the vital energy within could be used.
According to the information he received from his father, these crystals had already appeared in the battles between the humans and the aliens.
Most of them were left behind by the dead creatures.
There were already those with a discerning eye heading to Lir to purchase the Tear of Neptune, an s-ranked gem that wasn't particularly valuable.
The first to make a move was Skyfire Avenue, the first to realize what was in store for them.
Su He was the one who represented Skyfire Avenue in this transaction.
As for how many Tears Skyfire Avenue had managed to acquire, Lan Jue didn't know. It was an important secret.
Lan Jue had promised Jue Di he'd get him a Tear of Neptune.
Jue Di's old age made him feel uneasy.
Perhaps, with this gem filled with life energy, he could extend his father's life.
He didn't know if the Clairvoyant would be able to use it.
The three months they'd agreed on was almost up, which was why Lan Jue was in such a hurry to get back to Skyfire.
Because of its increased speed, the Godking's No. 1 only took half the time it had taken him to get to Ziluo.
As they landed in the civilian airship hangar, Lan Jue ran into a small problem. It was difficult to fit the Godking's No. 1 in his hangar, so he had to rent a larger one for the time being.
The verti-car was already waiting outside. Xiu Xiu had come to pick him up.
"Boss."
When he saw Lan Jue disembark, Xiu Xiu smiled sweetly and walked over to open the door for him.
"You're always so sweet," Lan Jue said with a smile.
Xiu Xiu smiled back, then shot him a resentful look before returning to the pilot's seat.
The verti-car began to hover, and Lan Jue leaned back in his seat to make himself more comfortable. "Have you been well these past few days?"
Xiu Xiu replied. "Everything's fine. As you've instructed, we've temporarily suspended business.
Our mechas have been modified as well. "
"Mm, Xiu Xiu.
When I got back, Dad taught me a sword technique. I'll teach it to you later, "Lan Jue said with a smile.
"Alright." Xiu Xiu's eyes lit up.
Lan Jue hesitated for a moment, then said, "Xiu Xiu, it's been hard on you all these years."
Xiu Xiu smiled. "Boss, why are you saying this?
Serving you by your side has always been Xiuxiu's mission! "
Lan Jue said, "Xiu Xiu, you know that I've never treated you as a servant, but as a younger sister.
You don't have to be like this in the future. We're partners, friends, and even siblings.
Is that alright? "
Xiu Xiu's face paled. She pursed her lips. "Boss, what are you trying to say?"
