4 Yun Xiuzhu's identity
◎Layer after layer of vest◎
Late at night, the starship sails slowly in the vast universe.
"Great Elder, this mission to track down the legendary Obsidian Royal Family's secret treasure may require you to personally go to the Council to explain. I wonder if the sudden appearance of an unknown SSS-level energy will have an impact on your current status?"
The middle-aged man on the light screen, the head of the Yun family, looked at Yun Xiuzhu with some worry.
After all, Yun Xiuzhu's current identity when traveling outside is just a junior of the Yun family's side branch, not the chief elder of the Yun family, one of the seven major families on the main star of the Yunchen Federation.
The reason why Yun Xiuzhu needed such an identity was to protect his search for an opportunity to break through to the SSS level of supernatural powers. If this news were known by the other six major families, it would probably cause a lot of trouble.
Yun Xiuzhu raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone remained calm:
"No, the Fifth Legion wouldn't be unable to protect a mentor like me. Besides, isn't the secret treasure important right now? I heard that when this secret treasure was first unearthed, there was an image of a huge black shadow on the nearby stone wall mural. Now it seems that this secret treasure is that black shadow."
"Yes, and after discovering this mural, the exploration team later unearthed another mural depicting a blazing fire. Now it seems to have come true. The natural planet where the Carter family's power was located was suddenly hit by a meteorite and destroyed."
The head of the Yun family shook his head and sighed.
"The Carter clan was too eager to show their goodwill to the Huaxi faction and went to steal this treasure anonymously, but this is the result. I wonder how the Obsidian Empire will react."
"Was it destroyed by a meteorite?"
Yun Xiuzhu whispered softly, his golden eyes beneath the transparent frames were cold and indifferent, without a trace of fluctuation.

StarNet
An extremely magnificent building complex floats in the blue sky, and complex array patterns radiate outward from this building. This is the emergency meeting room belonging to the Federation in the star network.
"So, based on the clues provided by Mr. Yun, the chronological order is:
This treasure was stolen and opened by Cass Carter, a hidden agent of the Carter Family. It unleashed an SSS-grade energy explosion, and he activated the SS-grade, rarest item, the Gilded Pillar, to block the energy. The treasure then vanished without a trace. Simultaneously, a massive meteorite fell upon the Carter Family, destroying the entire planet.
In the elegantly decorated conference room, a lady in formal attire solemnly reported the intelligence compiled by Yun Xiuzhu and others.
In addition to the people who appeared from spiritual bodies in the conference room, there were of course more projections on light blue screens.
"So, after all, what exactly are this SSS energy and that secret treasure? Haven't we figured it out yet? However, the Yun family has produced another good seedling. An S-level person can actually activate an SS-level heavenly treasure. It's really amazing."
A slightly rough male voice came from a blue light screen, which showed a tall and mighty man. This was the commander of the Third Legion.
"I wonder why Young Master Yun brought this SS-level artifact with him? Is it just a coincidence? Do you really not know where the treasure is?"
Another old voice sounded from the light screen, slowly but with a hint of oppression.
"How can Councillor Li make random guesses about others without any concrete evidence?" The head of the Yun family immediately interrupted.
"Then how can he carry such a rare SS-level protective item?"
Councillor Li ignored Patriarch Yun's defense of Yun Xiuzhu and continued questioning. The voices discussing other issues also quieted down upon hearing this, awaiting Yun Xiuzhu's response.
Yun Xiuzhu, who had materialized as a spirit, had a calm expression and replied with an awkward smile, "I think the commander of the Fifth Legion can answer this question."
"? Why is that?"
"Alas, I was originally reluctant to tell you this, but now that things have come to this," the Fifth Legion Commander also spoke up at this time: "Xiuzhu is the last disciple of Master Forger Yunmo. This SS-level artifact is for him to use for self-defense."
"!! This..." Such an answer made everyone in the parliament hall quiet for a moment.
You know, Master Yun Mo's reputation is well-known throughout the entire alliance. He is one of the only two people who can forge SSS-level artifacts. I have never heard that he has accepted any disciples before!
Because the origin of this SS-level wonder had been explained, and Yun Xiuzhu's identity was very clean, and with the intimidating name of Master Yun Mo, the parliamentarians did not dare to ask any more questions.
After much discussion, the incident was finally concluded with the "treasure being a mysterious black mist." The subsequent discussion was about the Black Jade Empire's diplomacy, which had nothing to do with Yun Xiuzhu.
H-9612 Star
Yu Li stood at the starship docking platform and looked out at the scenery of the desolate planet from afar. It was basically the same as she had imagined. Except for some patches of green in the platform area, the rest of the place was basically barren.
"So, do we have to wait for the next starship? Don't you need to report back immediately on your mission? And what will happen to those pirates?"
Yu Li was a little confused and tilted her head slightly. The pink little octopus on her head swayed, looking very cute. Of course, in Yun Xiuzhu's eyes, it was not cute at all.
"As for the mission, I've already reported it that night, so we still have plenty of time. Furthermore, your current physical condition doesn't allow for a space-time jump, so we need to wait for the next starship. You'll probably need to stay here for about a day."
Yun Xiuzhu replied in a gentle voice:
"As for those pirates, I will notify the nearby patrols to come and detain them."
He stared at Yu Li with his golden eyes, looking at the girl's doubtful eyes gently and without any aggression, and asked softly:
"Since we have one day, we can just rest for a day. Besides, Yuli, I have some clues about the thing you asked me to investigate before. How about we go to that hotel first?"
"So soon? Okay, let's go then."
Yu Li nodded, thinking back to when she had rested well and discussed with Yun Xiuzhu the contents of the Yunchen University entrance exam, and then solemnly asked him to help check her identity. After all, based on the fragmentary memories she had, nothing was right and it was full of coincidences.
After the two of them settled in, Yu Li learned from Yun Xiuzhu a story that was completely different from the interstellar sweet love story she had just received.
Yu Li's father, Yu Xinwei, is not her biological father, but a distant cousin. Her biological parents died unexpectedly when the original owner was 2 years old and could not remember anything. The Yu family's property was occupied by her distant cousin Yu Xin, who claimed to the outside world that he was the brother of the head of the Yu family and took over the Yu family naturally.
Because Yu Li had an engagement with the male protagonist Ling's family, they adopted Yu Li as their daughter. In order to establish a relationship and form an alliance with the Ling family, they instructed their original self to please the male protagonist.
Later, Yu Xin's biological daughter, the heroine Yu Mengyi, who was later raised outside, fell in love with the hero Ling Yu, so she framed her original self and got together with him. When her adoptive father Yu Xin learned that his daughter was hooking up with Ling Yu, he took the opportunity to get rid of the useless original self and sent it to a desolate planet to destroy itself.
This is too ridiculous! Ahhh! Yu Li looked at Yun Xiuzhu with a shocked expression.
"If that's the case, then why doesn't Yu Mengyi return to the Yu family, but instead keeps her outside?"
Yu Li was really confused. Logically speaking, there would be no impact in bringing her daughter home to raise her, but in the original body's memory, the adoptive mother didn't seem to be pregnant?
"This is because Miss Yu Mengyi is not your adoptive mother's child, so she has been raised outside." Yun Xiuzhu replied indifferently.
"Ah, this..." What a complicated family! What a melodramatic story! Yu Li was shocked.
"Also, I think your adoptive father must have special abilities to be able to do so well. His abilities probably affect people's perception of him, just like how you've always believed you were his biological daughter. You must be a special type."
Yun Xiuzhu gently pushed his gold-rimmed glasses with his white-gloved hand and speculated.
At the same time, he was also observing the changes in the girl's expression. It seemed that she was amazed and shocked by the stranger's story, but she was not angry or sad about her adoptive father's deception.
What was going on? A possession? A personality transformation? Yun Xiuzhu had many theories, but none of them matched the current situation. After all, the image of the young lady he had described in the news and the two days he had spent together didn't seem like the same person...
"So, Yu Li, what are you going to do now?" Yun Xiuzhu continued to ask.
"This... I think I need to think about it carefully." Yu Li was speechless for a moment when she looked at the completed side quest displayed directly on the system panel.
After all, the original owner's various attempts to please the male protagonist were all due to her parents' expectations. However, it turned out that these parents were not her parents at all. They just used her as a tool, and the relatives who truly cared about her were no longer around.
This is too tragic! But we can't just let it go like this! Yu Li turned to look at Yun Xiuzhu with a serious face.
"Mr. Yun, I wonder what the legal punishment is for this kind of illegal appropriation of other people's property? And this should be considered as a large-scale use of superpowers by superpowered people against others."
After all, everyone assumed that the Yu family was the biological brother of Yu Xin's original owner's father. If they used their superpowers, it would have affected many people. According to the basic knowledge of superpower laws that he had learned today on Starnet, superpowers could not use their superpowers on others on such a large scale and for a long time without reporting it.
"Yes, I will arrange for a lawyer to handle the property. If Yu Xin is truly a psychic, then we can contact the Psychic Supervision Department to manage it. After all, this situation is quite serious."
Yun Xiuzhu clasped his hands together and replied.
"Thank you for your help, but I don't know who to turn to." Yu Li was somewhat helpless. She had only been here for two days and didn't recognize many people. Or rather, she only knew Yun Xiuzhu. The people her original self knew had already dispersed as soon as they learned she was going to the desolate planet.
"It's not a big deal, Yu Li. After all, you've been a great help." Yun Xiuzhu smiled, his golden eyes slightly curved.
"You mean the space pirates? I don't think you need me to take you there. You can definitely handle it on your own."
But I was stupid enough to do it! After all, I had to complete the task, but I was still angry!
Yu Li felt a little upset when she thought about Yun Xiuzhu's slacking off behavior at that time, and her little face puffed up slightly.
"Sorry, sorry. After all, I saw that you were very good at mastering your abilities. If you could develop this skill in the field, it would definitely be better for you..."
Yun Xiuzhu was defeated by Yu Li's look that said "you are talking nonsense".
"Okay, I just spoke up because I think your ability is very special and interesting, Yuli. But your talent is indeed very good."
"The big favor I'm talking about is sealing that secret treasure. So, can I be responsible for recovering your abilities from now on?"
The man's waist-length, smooth silver hair was tied up with a black velvet ribbon and rested on his left shoulder. His honey-gold eyes looked at her with gentleness and a touch of tenderness. His voice was low and soft, like the sound of warm jade hitting each other.
"good."
Yu Li looked at the handsome man with eyebrows and eyes like paintings and nodded in agreement subconsciously. Then she felt that she was bewitched by his beauty and lowered her head to drink tea uncomfortably.
He didn't notice at all that the pink octopus above his head was silently staring at Yun Xiuzhu with its dark eyes. A terrifying oppressive feeling as if coming out of the abyss pressed down on Yun Xiuzhu. He was very repulsed by this clone of his who wanted to get close to the girl.
Just when the little octopus was about to take action, Yu Li raised her head and said solemnly:
"I will get good grades in the entrance exams later! I will definitely not let you down!"
The tense atmosphere between Little Octopus and Yun Xiuzhu was instantly broken. Yun Xiuzhu laughed a little, but did not discourage the girl's enthusiasm. He encouraged her:
“Of course I believe you.”
Having resolved her worries, Yu Li continued to study and took away the little octopus that had been staying on her head. Yun Xiuzhu noticed the girl's light and agile steps, as she walked away like a little white cat without any worries.
As he looked at this scene, his heart suddenly softened for a moment. It was a little funny but also very cute. The man just watched the girl walk away quietly.
