"Child, why are you sitting here all alone?"

"Is there something you need?"

...

That night, the young Helian Jue opened his heart to a stranger for the first time, recounting all the changes that had occurred during this period.

Only now does Helian Jue realize that the person who comforted him that night was his mother's teacher—Troy Vanquish.

"I didn't reveal my identity that night, child, you don't blame your grandfather, do you?" Troy was very kind; the little boy who cried back then was now a grown man.

Helian Jue shook his head and replied, "Thank you."

Unbeknownst to him, so many people had been watching him grow up all along.

For the sake of the empire's future, the mother chose to risk her life, but she never forgot herself.

During his most confused and helpless moments, many people around him cared about him.

Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Su Yinchen, Grandpa Troy, Uncle Song...

“Child, you are very much like your mother,” Dr. Troy said with a smile. “Shushu, resilient, brave, and loving.”

"The same to you."

...

Afterwards, Troy spoke to Helian Jue about the experimental matters.

“There is a high chance that Shushu will be able to return; all that’s missing is a catalyst,” Dr. Troy said. “Based on the data collector Shushu is carrying, we know that she is currently safe.”

At this point, Dr. Troy took out his personal computer and pointed to a small green dot that was flashing on a string of precise data. "Shushu is currently safe."

Helian Jue stared intently at the shimmering little green dot, trying to see his mother through it.

Qiao You also stood on tiptoe, staring at the little green dot. Aunt Qingyue should have met his parents. If he saw the little green dot representing Aunt Qingyue, was it equivalent to seeing his father and mother as well?

Helian Jue gave Qiao You a timely hug; he knew exactly what Xiao Yu was thinking.

The experimental base is full of locks and security doors, because this place is of great importance.

Dr. Troy originally wanted to take Helian Jue to see the core area, but Helian Jue refused.

Song Shen and Troy Wanqi were extremely busy. Almost ever since Su Shu left, they had to keep watch day and night without being distracted for even a moment.

Helian Jue took his leave, and Song Shen and Troy escorted them to the gate of the experimental base.

While Qiao You wasn't paying attention, Helian Jue asked, "Can the time reversal device bring back people from ancient Earth?"

Song Shen was momentarily surprised, not expecting Helian to ask such a question, but quickly recovered and replied, "Theoretically speaking, it is possible."

Helian Jue nodded in thanks.

"Keep in touch." Dr. Troy patted Helian Jue on the shoulder.

Before leaving, Helian Jue bowed to Dr. Troy and Song Shen.

Please contact me if you have any news about your mother.

As they left, there were still three of them, gradually disappearing from Song Shen and Troy Wanqi's sight.

He hopes that one day he and Xiaoyu can come here to pick up his mother and Xiaoyu's parents and go home together.

Lin Yuan was truly surprised that Jingyue Star had gone so smoothly this time. In just one afternoon, he had learned everything clearly. It seemed that when he was looking up information, he had also benefited from His Highness's help.

"Your Highness, what about afterwards..." After getting into the hovercar, Lin Yuan asked, "Will he continue to stay here? Or are there other arrangements?"

After thinking for a moment, Helian Jue quickly gave his answer, "Lin Yuan, you stay here and keep watch. Do your best to meet any needs that Uncle Song and the others may have."

"Yes," Lin Yuan replied.

The hovercar stopped in front of the hotel, and Lin Yuan escorted the two back to the hotel. "Your Highness, the spaceship will depart promptly at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Um."

Helian Jue took Qiao You back to his residence. After leaving the experimental base, Qiao You seemed preoccupied.

"What's wrong?" Helian Jue stroked the stray hairs on Qiao You's forehead.

Qiao You looked up at Helian Jue, "Brother, you said Father and Mother..."

Knowing that Aunt Qingyue had returned safely, Qiao You hoped that his father and mother could also escape this calamity...

"My brother asked, and Uncle Song said it's possible." Helian Jue knew exactly what Qiao You wanted to ask and explained.

Qiao You was overjoyed, "Really?"

"Um!"

Qiao You gave Helian Jue a bear hug, wrapping his entire body around him.

"That's great!"
