Traveling in a black mecha was too high-profile, so Li Ze simply bought a small flying vehicle and spent a morning learning how to use it in the wilderness. After mastering it, he piloted the flying vehicle, sometimes in mid-air on Planet 1, and sometimes flying close to the ground.

When I get tired, I find a hotel to sleep in, and then continue on my way after I wake up.

After exploring the entire planet 1, Li Ze's magic core has returned to normal.

After that, Li Ze set off for the nearest planet, Planet 2, using the warp portal. It took him less than an hour to get from Planet 1 to Planet 2.

The moment Li Ze opened the mecha hatch, he couldn't help but smile. "The concentration of malevolent energy here is almost the same as that of Planet No. 1."

If the remaining planets are all like this, his strength will be restored in no time. At that time, he will be able to travel between the sky and the earth without needing to rely on mechs and aircraft.

Meanwhile, He Xingjue, who had returned to Suzaku Star, received a report from his subordinates: "Commander, the lady is currently on Planet 2 in the Exile Starfield."

He Xingjue hummed in agreement. "What is he doing there?"

The subordinate was stunned. "You didn't allow us to send people to protect Madam, so our men didn't notice what she did."

He Xingjue choked on his words.

"How about I have someone follow Madam from a distance?" the subordinate suggested.

He Xingjue hesitated for three seconds, but ultimately did not refuse, "Okay."

No sooner had his subordinate left than He Xingjue received another visitor.

"If I hadn't come to your door in person, were you planning to never see your grandfather again?" Old Master He stared directly at He Xingjue, his face full of anger.

“When you secretly registered my marriage with Li Ze, you should have expected this outcome today,” He Xingjue said expressionlessly.

Old Master He's face stiffened, then he defended himself, "The doctor said you wouldn't wake up, and our He family can't break the contract."

"So you just squeezed every last bit of value out of me?" He Xingjue said with a self-deprecating laugh. "It wasn't my parents who took a large sum of star coins from the Li family back then."

Old Master He choked, his mouth opening and closing repeatedly, continuing to argue, "The facts prove that Li Ze is not bad either, is he? He is rich, handsome, and capable, and he is a good match for you."

"Oh--"

He Xingjue seemed to have heard a joke, "Two people who are unconscious, who have never even seen each other, how do you know they are a good match?"

Grandpa He sighed, deciding to go all in, "The matter is settled. If you're not satisfied with Li Ze, you can negotiate a divorce with him."

He Xingjue looked at his grandfather with a strange expression in his eyes. "Divorce? Is Second Uncle planning to return the money the Li family lent him?"

"What's there to repay? We're already married, and the promise has been kept, so there's no need to repay it," Old Master He said matter-of-factly.

He Xingjue was not surprised at all by the old man's shamelessness. He had no patience to continue arguing with him and went straight to the point, saying, "What brings you here today? Just say it."

Grandpa He glared at him, "I can't come unless there's a reason."

“Okay.” After saying that, He Xingjue ignored him and continued to handle his military affairs.

Upon seeing this, Old Master He was so angry that his blood boiled. "Fine, since you don't welcome me, I'll get straight to the point. This Saturday, your younger brother is getting engaged to the youngest son of Commander Gao. It will be at 7 p.m. at your second uncle's Xingyang Hotel. Come early and don't be late."

"I'm not going." He Xingjue refused without leaving any room for negotiation. "Besides, I don't have a younger brother."

"You—" Old Master He pointed at He Xingjue, trembling all over.

“From the moment he pushed his fiancé to me, he was no longer my brother. You can help me convey this to him,” He Xingjue said calmly.

"Are you serious?" Old Master He looked at his eldest grandson in disbelief. "Your brother is also an SS-rank; his future achievements are limitless. Once he marries Commander Gao's son, with Commander Gao's support, he'll quickly establish himself in the military. Then you brothers can support each other—"

"I don't want a younger brother who schemes against his older brother. I don't want to entrust my back to such a younger brother. You can leave now. From now on, everything concerning my second uncle's family has nothing to do with me." He Xingjue said calmly, as if he were talking about something insignificant.

"Are you really that resolute?" Old Master He questioned.

“You were the ones who abandoned our family ties first.” He Xingjue stood up. “I have some things to take care of. Please leave.”

After saying that, He Xingjue strode away.

As he watched He Xingjue's retreating figure, Old Master He swayed slightly. It seemed that his grandson had truly become estranged from him.

but--

Grandpa He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, let's get a divorce. My second grandson is no less capable. He's also an SS Sentinel and is about to marry the commander's son. He might achieve even greater things in the future."

Thinking about it this way, Grandpa He's regret and reluctance vanished instantly.

Li Ze flew continuously on Planet 2 for two days until the magic core was filled and he felt a throbbing pain. Only then did he control the spacecraft to land.

The magic cores were full, but my stomach was hungry.

Li Ze chose a restaurant with many customers and went inside without covering his face.

The moment he stepped into the restaurant, the entire place seemed to brighten. Those who saw his face froze on the spot.

After a long pause, the first person to regain their senses cautiously asked, "Are you Li Ze?"

In other star systems, those who don't regularly browse the Star Network might not know Li Ze. But the Exile Star System is different. The people here respect, love, and are grateful to He Xingjue. They pay attention to and collect all news about He Xingjue, including about He Xingjue's partner, Li Ze.

Especially after Li Ze single-handedly eliminated more than 100 criminals and rescued more than 100 children some time ago, they admired Madam He even more.

So the moment Li Ze appeared, they knew his identity.

“Yes, that’s me,” Li Ze replied.

The staff member greeted us, "Would you like to eat?"

Li Ze nodded and glanced around the store. "It seems there are no seats available."

"Yes, yes, yes!" the shop assistant hurriedly replied, afraid that Li Ze would turn around and leave. "I'll add a table and chair for you by the window."

Before Li Ze could even get away, the shop assistant immediately went to make arrangements.

If Li Ze is made to go on an empty stomach, he won't be able to work tomorrow either.

The shop assistant quickly brought over tables and chairs and carefully wiped them clean, asking solicitously as they did so, "Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

"No," Li Ze replied, while secretly wondering if he should be given the menu first.

However, Li Ze did not receive the menu until the staff left.

Ten minutes later, the staff brought the dishes over. "These are all our signature dishes, please try them."

Li Ze: "......."

Forced sale?
