The laboratory on Jingyue Star is located in the suburbs, and it takes more than three hours by hovercar to get there from the hotel where they are staying.
Qiao You took a nap in the hovercar before arriving at his destination. After getting off the hovercar, he still had to walk for more than ten minutes.
"Follow this path and keep going in." Lin Yuan pointed to the narrow path ahead, which was surrounded by tall and lush bushes. The path was so narrow that it was not even wide enough for two people to walk side by side.
After walking along this winding path for about ten minutes, the view suddenly opened up, revealing a wide expanse ahead, where a tall metal wall rose from the ground.
Lin Yuan jogged a few steps, walked to the front gate, and explained his purpose to the electronic screen.
A voice came from the screen on the other side, telling them to "wait a moment," and then the electronic screen turned off.
Qiao You was led by Helian Jue, looking here and there.
After the three waited for a few minutes, the small door in the high metal wall opened, and a man wearing a white lab coat came out.
"Greetings, Your Highness. Please come in."
"I am Dr. Troy's assistant, Song Shen. The doctor is currently conducting an experiment, which will take approximately another half hour. Your Highness, please wait." Song Shen treated Helian Jue with great politeness, and Qiao You couldn't help but glance at this person a few more times.
In the interstellar era, although Helian Jue was the Crown Prince of the Empire, some top figures in various industries were not afraid of the royal family at all. These people had their own unique pride, and they did not need to be polite or respectful to anyone they disliked or looked down upon, no matter who they were.
From the moment Helian Jue first saw Song Shen, he felt that this person was very familiar, and he must have seen Song Shen before.
"We apologize for disturbing you, Dr. Troy, please continue with your work," Helian Jue replied politely.
Qiao You noticed that Song Shen's eyes dimmed for a moment after hearing Helian Jue's answer. (Little Fish puzzled jpg)
Something feels off.
Does this person know the older brother? Are they close?
Qiao You scratched his head in confusion, his big eyes darting around, and followed Song Shen to the reception room.
The laboratory is very large, and after entering through the metal gate, you have to take a hovercar.
Song Shen sat in the front, occasionally offering a brief introduction.
"This place was established by Junior Sister Su Shu. Our teacher and we fellow disciples joined later."
"When my junior colleague proposed the theory of time reversal device, we were all shocked and excited."
...
Qiao You listened with great interest; this was yet another side of Aunt Qingyue that he had heard.
In the royal family, she was an empress who commanded the utmost respect; in the Su family, she was the highly anticipated successor to the family head; in her field of research, she was an undisputed genius.
Helian Jue didn't say much along the way; he seemed to be lost in thought.
They finally arrived at the reception room. Song Shen poured water for everyone, saying, "We have no tea here, only plain water. Please forgive us, Your Highness."
Helian Jue's lips curled into a slight smile. "Uncle Song, you're too kind."
Uncle Song?
Upon hearing Helian Jue's address, Song Shen laughed and rubbed his hands together excitedly, "Your memory is quite good. You're much more composed than before."
“Back when you got into a fight with your classmates at school, your junior sister happened to have an emergency, so she asked me to go and help her.”
"I saw you at the classroom door, your mouth was bruised, and you looked defiant."
When the topic of those days came up, Song Shen's eyes were full of nostalgia. "You were only thirteen or fourteen years old back then, a time when you were young and full of vigor."
"Yes, Uncle Song advised me to admit my mistake on the surface, and then he accompanied me to beat up that guy," Helian Jue recounted. At that time, he was in his adolescence, arrogant and disrespectful to everyone, and often caused trouble at school.
Whenever he had to ask his parents to come, Helian Jue would only contact his mother, but his mother was very busy at that time, so she would usually ask a friend to go instead.
"Hey! I thought you'd forgotten about Uncle Song!" Song Shen exclaimed. The moment he saw him, he recognized the composed and dignified future emperor of the empire as the bruised and eccentric teenager from back then.
When they first met, Helian Jue really didn't recognize Song Shen; it had been too long since they last met.
Qiao You was shocked. His brother had gotten into a fight with other people?
Song Shen and Helian Jue chatted for a while longer, reminiscing about the past.
Although Helian Jue was chatting with Song Shen, he never neglected Qiao You, handing him water, getting his personal computer, and peeling oranges. His thoughtfulness even caught Song Shen's attention.
After a while, Song Shen received a phone call. "The teacher has finished."
"They're coming this way."
After waiting for about ten more minutes, a series of strong and powerful footsteps came, and Qiao You looked over first.
He was still wearing a white lab coat, his hair was gray, and he wore glasses on his nose. He looked to be around seventy years old, but his eyes were sharp and he looked somewhat dignified.
But when Dr. Troy looked in their direction, his gaze softened instantly, losing its initial seriousness and profundity, and transforming into that of a kind old grandfather.
“Teacher,” Song Shen stood up and said, “this is my junior sister’s child, Helian Jue.”
Dr. Troy took two quick steps forward and stopped. "Child, do you remember me?"
Helian Jue tried his best to control his emotions and nodded, "I remember."
When his mother first disappeared, he was still studying at military academy. During that time, he was in a daze. Helian Cheng then made Leidenxin his empress. In an instant, his parents, who had loved him since childhood, distanced themselves from him in various ways.
Helian Jue fell into a vicious cycle of depression, listless and unsure of what to do, showing no interest in anything.
One early morning, Helian Jue sat alone on a bridge in the center of the capital city, enjoying the evening breeze and watching the shimmering river.
