When Pei Sumei woke up again, she found herself lying in a medical pod in a completely unfamiliar environment.
[Xiao Ya detected that the host was in danger. Because Miss Lian Han was too far away, she had no choice but to contact your mother. They have decided to take you home.]
"What are you afraid of?" he asked, surveying the surroundings. "Going home? If I remember correctly, civilian starships starting with 'S' are all slow-moving, right? By the time you transport me back to that so-called home, my body will be cold by then."
"No, even if your mental consciousness is shattered, your life will not be in danger," Xiaoya replied.
Pei Sumei: ...It's not like they wanted to help her. So what's the point of them putting her on the starship? Why didn't they just let her "shatter her sea of consciousness" at home?
Suddenly remembering something, Pei Sumei quickly checked the time on her smart device—thankfully, there was still time. She had sneaked out of the capital planet this time; if Sister Xiaohan found out, she would be finished.
Xiao Ya asked in confusion, "Xiao Mei, don't you like your family?"
[Damn family! I'm all alone, didn't you know? I didn't even know I had a family!]
And if there is a family, why would the mother be in danger?
However, if this accident hadn't happened, she might never have known that there was some kind of "Lao Zi family" behind them.
[I'm sorry, it was my oversight...]
"Where are you?" Lian Han breathed a slight sigh of relief when the call connected.
"Sister Xiaohan?"
Pei Sumei was also surprised to see the name displayed. Although Lian Han had never neglected to take care of her, she was usually very busy, and apart from their regular weekly phone calls, Lian Han rarely contacted her. And she wouldn't bother her sister.
"How are you now? Are you injured? Are you in any danger?"
"Me?" Pei Sumei's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked Xiaoya, "Did you tell your sister?"
[No.] Xiaoya was also puzzled. [I was asleep the whole time. If I hadn't sensed that you were in danger, Xiaomei, I wouldn't have woken up yet, and I wouldn't have had a chance to contact your sister.]
The main reason is that he doesn't dare. Even if the woman didn't notice him secretly absorbing a huge amount of energy, her system definitely would. If he dared to show his face, she'd definitely come after him. Just thinking about the energy he'd previously recharged for that Butterfly Shadow Card makes his heart ache!
Upon receiving Xiao Ya's reply, and remembering that Lian Han should be on the front lines in the North, Pei Sumei said, "I'm fine."
"Are you really alright?"
"I'm really fine. Sister Xiaohan, why do you ask that?"
Lian Han shook his head. "It's nothing. I just suddenly feel a little uneasy."
Pei Sumei's eyes crinkled into a smile. "Sister, you must miss me. You'll see me when you come back after your mission."
Lian Han was about to say something when a knock came at the door. "Yeah. You should always be careful."
"Okay, got it. Bye." Pei Sumei hung up the call with a smile, then her smile vanished.
[Xiaoya, let's see what my family really is.]
And that package—the delivery package that almost destroyed her sea of consciousness—she had to get to the bottom of this. She had secretly run away to find her brother; she didn't know which bastard had tricked her.
After much hesitation, Xiaoya decided to stick with the host for now and deal with that woman later...
Lian Han hung up the call and frowned again. Xiao Mei was lying. This girl isn't being obedient anymore.
After waiting for a while without receiving a response, Ning Jue pushed the door open and, seeing her distressed expression, asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Lian Han looked at him with displeasure, "Without the master's permission, this is trespassing..."
Ning Jue felt very innocent. "I knocked on the door. And your door wasn't locked."
Lian Han didn't want to argue about this, so he asked, "What do you want from me?"
"It's nothing serious. Tell me what happened to you. Who upset you?" Ning Jue sat down next to Lian Han.
"You're really self-aware." Lian Han gave him a mocking look and sighed softly, "The kid's grown up, he's become unruly. He needs to be properly disciplined when we get back."
"That girl, Xiao Mei?"
Lian Han nodded.
Ning Jue chuckled, "Just because she's dishonest, does that mean you're honest? You should count how many things you've lied to me about."
"Isn't it okay if it's different? I'm Xiaomei's guardian, what are you to me?"
“My brother is your teacher.”
"But I have family, and they don't care about me. Why should you care?"
Ning Jue raised an eyebrow. Did the Ling family not care about her? Or were they simply unable to control her? Only Ling Xuanyu could manage her, but as a marshal, he was busy with affairs and was currently fighting the enemy on the southern front.
"Who told me to meddle when I had nothing better to do? I'll leave aside all the lies you told me before. Now—" Ning Jue's gaze swept towards the medical pod in the room, "Sharing a room, is this the treatment friends of friends should receive?"
"He's in his medical pod, I'm sleeping in my room, is there a problem?"
This is considered no problem? There's a huge problem! Does this mean people won't eat, drink, or relieve themselves? What if they run into Lian Hanxi here—
"So who is he?"
“His name is—” Lian Han’s voice trailed off as he retrieved the old man’s name from his distant memories, “Gu Dan.”
Ning Jue: ...
He couldn't help but think that strange pause in the middle was a pseudonym.
"Say his name again."
“It’s just…” Lian Han quickly covered his mouth, his eyes filled with resentment.
This guy used the power of words again!
"I just wanted to ask for a name," Ning Jue said helplessly.
"I can't say that!" Lian Han glared at him, pointed to the door, and was about to kick him out.
