"What’s wrong with you?"

Seeing the girl's aura suddenly change, becoming fierce and menacing, as if she were about to go back and settle scores, Yi Jun asked curiously.

Lian Han took a deep breath. "I suddenly remembered that I left something on the enemy warship. Can I go back and get it?"

"Of course. If the general agrees as well."

To get Ning Jue to agree—if he could agree to let her go back, he wouldn't have remained silent after receiving the news and instead agreed to let her go to the Heavens!

Lian Han's gloomy expression gradually improved, but his brows were still furrowed. "Never mind, it's nothing important. Do you have a room for me? I want to rest."

"Come with me." Yi Jun smiled, without asking why she changed her mind.

Lian Han looked at Yi Jun, "I tricked you once before, and you can still laugh?"

“It all happened more than a year ago, is it necessary to be so petty?” Yi Jun replied. “Besides, although Miss Ling’s card caused us to sacrifice a branch base, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise for me.”

"It's alright to tell you. Because of the mental fluctuations you showed on the card, Miss Ling, I had the honor of seeing the Master."

"Sir? How big are you?"

"It's hard to say. You'll know when you get back and see him." After saying that, Yi Jun reminded him, "Because of the base's secrecy, the warship will activate its signal jamming device tomorrow morning. If you have anything to do, it's best to resolve it today. After that, the AI ​​will lose signal."

"I understand." Lian Han nodded, indicating his understanding.

Signal jamming is normal procedure; Zhutian wouldn't be so stupid as to let her reveal the location of someone else's base.

Yi Jun led Lian Han to stop in front of a room. "This is your room. I'm right next door. You can call me if you need anything."

"Thank you for your trouble," Lian Han said.

After closing the door, Lian Han first scanned the room with his mental energy to confirm that there were no surveillance devices. He then immediately opened his smart device and contacted An He, asking, "What exactly happened?"

On the other end of the AI, Anhe's face was also bitter. "I don't know the specifics either. Just an hour ago he said he was going back to school, and now he's killed someone. Even I was shocked."

What could make Lian Han change his expression on the spot was certainly not a trivial matter—Jiang Chenrui killed the Ice Clan's Prince Bingmo, and he was caught red-handed.

"He said that?"

“I want to know too. By the time I received the news, it was too late. When I arrived at the scene, Senior Jiang's AI had already been confiscated and he was being held in custody. This matter is probably going to be difficult to resolve.”

Lian Han frowned. "It mainly depends on the Ice Clan's attitude. Let's leave it at that for now. I'll go ask Qianya, and you can see why he killed someone."

“No problem. He’s my partner after all, so I’ll take care of him.” Anhe paused after saying that, “You should talk to the general about this, it should make things easier.”

"Ha!" Lian Han sneered. "Men are all big pigs, I don't want to hear his name right now!"

Hearing the anger in her voice, Anhe touched her nose and didn't dare to express her opinion. "Then I'll go check it out. I'll contact you again when I have the results."

“No problem.” After Lian Han finished speaking, he added, “An He, try to resolve anything today. Something happened here, and my AI will lose signal after tonight.”

"Uh, okay."

After their conversation ended, Lian Han immediately tried to contact Qian Ya again, but no one answered.

Lian Han frowned, guessing that their mission wasn't over yet and they were probably busy right now. Just then, her smart device beeped; it was a communication from Ning Jue.

The girl raised an eyebrow, then muted the AI, completely ignoring him.

[Um—isn't Xu Yaoka still on the Imperial Capital Star? You can remotely control this matter and let him handle it.]

Lian Han raised an eyebrow, then thought it was theoretically feasible and began to contact Xu Yao.

She had initially wanted Xu Yao to bring her a purification card, but after thinking about it, she felt that it would be better for her to sell the card through Jing Li and Xu Yao instead, as this would make it less likely for her to be exposed.

Xu Yao accomplished this task very successfully. It is said that on the day the Chosen Ones ended, many people were seeking to purchase purification cards, and most of them successfully eliminated the Blood Nether Flower.

The system took away more than ten character cards but only gave her one, Xu Yao. There was a reason she didn't make a fuss at the time: Xu Yao—well, let's just say he had the potential to evolve further. And above the Special Grade, isn't that a god?

...

General Ning's warship.

Ning Jue glanced at the ignored communication and knew she had received a message about Jiang Chenrui's murder. The young girl probably held a grudge against him this time.

However, General Ning still believed that he needed to ascertain Jiang Chenrui's harmlessness before he could feel comfortable letting Lian Han make contact with him.

Before that, she should go and have some fun in the myriad realms—after all, with Yi Wei as the middleman, the myriad realms wouldn't harm her...

Command room of a military starship.

The man stared at the large screen, his face grim, or rather, his expression had been grim ever since he received the news.

"Marshal, location confirmed, coordinates near Justin Starfield."

Didn't Ning Jue say he was going to pick someone up? What's he doing there? Ling Xuanyu frowned and said, "Go there immediately."

"Marshal, traveling from here to Justin Starfield will delay your inauguration. The Han family is still finding fault with you. At this time, it's really—" the adjutant beside the man reminded him, "Only when you are well can your family be better off..."

The man frowned, but finally relented, "Who's nearby?"

The adjutant checked the officer's schedule, then unconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "It's General Ning."

Ning Jue? The man raised an eyebrow. "Contact him. He said he wants to return the jade intact, so he has to give me an explanation."

"Yes," the adjutant replied, but he felt he might be doomed. He couldn't afford to offend either side; those caught in the middle would be the ones who suffered the most.

I just hope that nothing bad happens to that little rascal.

...

Lian Han was unaware that someone was thinking about her. Qian Ya finally replied, but not through a communication, but through a message.

"I read the message you sent me. Are you sure Bingmo is dead?"

"They've already arrested him, and they're still saying he was caught red-handed? He's definitely dead. Why do you ask that?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end. "You don't understand the Ice Clan, so you don't know that for an Ice Clan member to die, one condition must be met—high temperature. Otherwise, even if their body is shattered, they can still survive, but it will take a long time to recover, which is why I asked."

"I'm not on the capital planet and I'm not entirely clear on the situation. But let me ask first, what will happen if he dies?"

Qianya quickly replied, "A blood debt must be paid in blood."

Before Lian Han could refute, he added, "If Luo Feng hadn't come along, and if you were the one who did the killing, things would be much simpler. But since Luo Feng is here, I can't cover everything up, and I can't protect that person."

"What if he's not dead?"

"That makes it even simpler. Identify the conflict, and once he's recovered, whoever is at fault should apologize. If he doesn't want to apologize, punishment is fine too. Luo Feng won't have any objections."

Therefore, the Ice Clan's protectiveness only extends to their own members who are still alive. Lian Han concluded...
