Chapter 30 The Best Partner

Jiang Yunqi pursed his lips, not understanding why Gu Bingchen was so angry.

"You can rent a house at the mission center. I rented the villa next door." He thought for a moment and explained, which was very rare. "I asked. One villa is fifty crystal cores a month. I have it."

"Is this a question of whether it is available or not?" Gu Bingchen still had a sour face.

"I need to form a team." Jiang Yunqi was not good at speaking, so his words could always hit people unintentionally. "Therefore, it is not suitable for us to continue living in your house."

Gu Bingchen opened his eyelids and looked directly at Jiang Yunqi. A complex emotion flashed through his eyes. He hesitated to speak, and finally left a snort of "Whatever you want!" and turned to go upstairs.

"Bang!"

The door was slammed shut.

Several people downstairs looked at each other.

Tang Yichao came over with a laugh to ease the atmosphere: "I haven't asked yet, Brother Yunqi, what is the name of your team? Our team is the eighth rich team, doesn't it sound vulgar, hahaha."

"Hahaha...? Isn't it funny?"

His dry laugh slowly stiffened, and then there was no sound at all.

"Xuanbei." Jiang Yunqi retracted his gaze from the stairs and whispered, "Our team is called Xuanbei."

Tang Yichao: "Xuanbei? Does it mean anything?"

Jiang Yunqi: "It doesn't mean anything, I just picked it randomly."

No wonder, the location of the empire is on Xuanbei Star.

And on Blue Star two thousand years ago, no one could discover this beautiful planet.

"If he...if he..." Jiang Yunqi sighed helplessly, "Forget it, I'll come over later."

After that, he returned to the villa next door.

The interior layout of the villa is exactly the same as the one next door. In the living room, Xie Er took out a household robot from the space button.

"Hello, master." The robot looks like a human. It bends slightly and moves very gentlemanly.

Xie Er operated twice on the indicator board, and the robot began to operate.

"Okay, leave the cleaning to the housekeeper." Xie Er sat on the sofa and pinched his eyebrows a little tiredly.

Long Yilan leaned over and asked, "Can this thing be used here?"

Xie Er: "Of course it can, and..."

He paused, and a milky white crystal core appeared in his palm: "You should have discovered that the energy contained in the crystal core is very similar to that of the energy stone. It can not only relieve mental riots, but also be used as energy."

"Do you have a laser gun in your space button?" Xie Er asked.

Long Yilan shook her head: "No, my space button is mostly filled with nutrients and supplies I searched here."

Jiang Yunqi glanced at the space button: "Yes, there is. Do you want to use the crystal core instead of the energy stone to activate the laser gun?"

Xie Er smiled: "Ayun still understands me."

"I haven't asked yet, how did you get here?" Long Yilan was chewing a cucumber, which she had taken from Tang Yichao when she left. It was sweet and juicy, and she liked it very much.

Xie Er glanced at the gray sky outside the window, and his expression was covered with a layer of gloom.

"You two had accidents within half a year. Everyone in the star knows that you are gone, and I am the only one who knows it last." Xie Er kneaded the lace on the sofa pillow and said softly.

Long time no see, how long is it?

It was 1825 days, 43800 hours, and he traveled all over the stars alone, but he didn't find any trace of his two best friends.

Xie Er regretted all the time, regretting that he was soft-hearted and agreed to enter the Academy of Sciences to participate in research, and this research took him a full year.

When he walked out of the Academy of Sciences, all people and things had changed dramatically.

If it weren't for this incident, at least he could stand by his best friends.

"I traveled all over the galaxies and finally found some clues."

Jiang Yunqi had a guess in his heart. Unlike him and Long Yilan, who were passive, the one in front of him, who was praised by the stars as the "best Beta", might have come here on his own initiative.

Just as he thought.

Xie Er first discovered the parts of the "Empty Shadow" and "Iris Tail" in the asteroid belt closest to the wormhole, and then followed the clues to find the scrapped "Empty Shadow" and "Iris Tail".

The mechas that were once famous all over the stars became a pile of broken copper and iron, and they stared deeply at the direction of the wormhole.

At that time, Xie Er had an absurd idea.

He used to be a cautious person, but this time, he chose to act impulsively without hesitation.

"Mingfeng, you miss them too, don't you?" Xie Er looked at the bottomless wormhole, touched the silent mecha beside him, with a little smile on his lips, and said with nostalgia and determination, "Then let's go find them."

An unprecedented storm swept across the entire interstellar space. Xie Er used the energy of the storm and the mecha's self-explosion, and jumped into the wormhole without hesitation with a faint hope.

When he woke up, he saw an endless ocean.

He floated on the ocean, and under him was a piece of Mingfeng's wreckage.

Xie Er made an axe from the wreckage.

Jiang Yunqi's throat was dry: "You... the wormhole is very dangerous."

"Of course I know it's dangerous." Xie Er raised his eyes, "But I won't give up the last glimmer of hope."

Long Yilan's eyes were slightly red. She and the admiral passed through the wormhole unconsciously, and the pain was not very obvious, but Xie Er passed through the wormhole with clear consciousness.

She couldn't imagine what kind of pain he experienced.

"This is the chip of 'Empty Shadow' and 'Iris Tail'." Xie Er took out two chips as thin as cicada wings.

Jiang Yunqi gently stroked 'Empty Shadow', and the bottom of his dark eyes flashed with stars.

The mecha that accompanied him for many years, separated by more than two thousand years of time and space, they met again.

Xie Er walked to the window and said in a deep voice: "Ayun, the empire has collapsed."

! ! !

"What did you say?" Jiang Yunqi raised his head suddenly.

"The Alliance, Zerg, and traitors, they joined forces inside and outside to attack Xuanbei Star. Before I left, I left behind a large amount of research data and a large number of high-destructive weapons."

"But it was useless. The Empire did not resist at all. The newly appointed emperor took the initiative to lead the officials and nobles to surrender. Xuanbei Star was divided and finally became a colony."

What he did not say was that most of the people of the Empire died or were injured, but they did not get

the slightest sympathy from the rulers. Jiang Yunqi clenched his fists, and his joints "creaked". It was obvious that he was extremely angry.

How dare they? !

Anger and sadness immediately enveloped the hearts of Jiang Yunqi and Long Yilan.

The mental power that had been dormant for more than a month suddenly rioted. Fortunately, Xie Er stopped it in time.

"Calm down!" He quickly took out a large number of accumulated crystal cores and piled them on the sides of the two people.

The gentle energy soothed the two people's suddenly soaring mental power.

Long Yilan was silent for a while, then lowered her head and went upstairs.

"I need some quiet time." Jiang Yunqi lowered his eyes and looked at the crescent mark on his palm, his face dark and unclear.

On a summer night, the sky was full of stars, like countless sparkling pearls dotted in the deep night sky, and the stars were like fine quicksand, flowing in the Milky Way.

Everything was shrouded in tranquility, the breeze blew gently, bringing bursts of coolness, and a rustling sound came from the windowsill, breaking the silence of the night.

A black shadow was about to cross the windowsill when he heard the sound of the bathroom door opening behind him. He turned his head and saw Jiang Yunqi's thin waist.

He walked out of the bathroom wrapped in steam, with only a bath towel wrapped around his waist. A drop of water dripped down his narrow eyebrows and fell on his collarbone, swirling around, then passing over his chest and waist, and finally disappeared under the sexy mermaid line.

"You...what are you doing?" Jiang Yunqi paused in wiping his hair, looking at Gu Bingchen sitting on the windowsill with a puzzled look.

Gu Bingchen's eyes flickered, and finally fell on the desk. He coughed twice, and stiffly retracted his other leg: "Nothing, I came to talk to you about something."

Jiang Yunqi's eyes showed a hint of smile, and his gloomy mood brightened a little.

"You...why don't you put on your clothes first?" Gu Bingchen walked to a chair in front of the desk and sat down, not noticing that his steps just now were slow and he was walking with his hands and feet.

"No, tell me what's the matter." Jiang Yunqi changed his mind about changing into pajamas and sat down in front of Gu Bingchen.

Gu Bingchen: "...It's not very important, how about..."

"Does it hurt?" He suddenly put away his subtle discomfort, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at the scar on Jiang Yunqi's chest.

Jiang Yunqi looked down at the scar on his body and smiled: "It doesn't hurt, it was a long time ago."

"Can't the treatment gun remove the mark?" Gu Bingchen bit his lip and asked.

"No need, it won't be a problem." Jiang Yunqi never took these scars to heart. The old marshal said that these scars witnessed his success and failure, and they were the marks that accompanied his growth.

He once thought it was unnecessary, but now he feels that these scars have become one of his few memories of the Star and the Empire.

Regardless of whether the memories are good or bad.

Gu Bingchen noticed Jiang Yunqi's sudden depression and changed the subject: "Do you still remember my remaining two requests?"

Talking about business, Jiang Yunqi regained his usual calmness and composure: "Well, do you want to make a second request?"

"I thought about it, and what you said this afternoon makes sense. You have your team and I have my team members. It is indeed not convenient for us to continue living together."

No wonder Gu Bingchen omitted the two words at the end of the sentence.

"Since we can't be teammates, I hope we can become the best partners."

Jiang Yunqi: "Do you mean, we always cooperate?"

Gu Bingchen: "Yes, the second request is that our two teams can work together."

In fact, even if Gu Bingchen didn't come secretly tonight, Jiang Yunqi was planning to talk to him in detail.

They were unfamiliar with Blue Star and were in urgent need of a partner. After more than a month of getting along, they had a certain understanding of each other's character. It was most appropriate for them to cooperate with Gu Bingchen.

So Jiang Yunqi did not hesitate and smiled: "Okay."

"Well, OK, it's settled." Gu Bingchen was very satisfied with Jiang Yunqi's decision. He stood up, opened the window and was about to leave.

"Eh? You're not going through the front door?"

Jiang Yunqi interrupted. He then realized that there was only a fence between the two villas. His room was facing Gu Bingchen's room. According to the abilities of the two people, it was easy to cross the fence.

Gu Bingchen pulled the corner of his mouth. He was really embarrassed today.

"Ah, I just want to see the moon. I'm going...of course I'm going through the front door." Gu Bingchen closed the window, opened the door and went downstairs.

Fortunately, no one was downstairs, and Gu Bingchen breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Yunqi looked at his leaving back and laughed dumbly.

Long Yilan, who walked out of the room to get a glass of water, witnessed this scene and asked puzzledly: "General, what are you laughing at?"

"No, go to bed early." Jiang Yunqi turned and went back to the room.

Long Yilan shrugged, always feeling that something was wrong.

Tang Yizhao in the villa next door was as confused as he was. He looked at Gu Bingchen who hurried upstairs, and turned his head to glance at the locked door.

Strange, didn't his eldest brother stay at home?

Why did he come back from outside?
