Chapter 63 Meeting
Mai Dongzi and Adjutant Chen were talking in the landing ship area. She saw a dozen military landing ships that looked exactly the same docked not far away.
Mai Dongzi noticed that there were more than a dozen mechanical soldiers inspecting the landing ships. There were five young officers wearing the same uniforms as Adjutant Chen. He paid special attention to the results of the inspection by these mechanical soldiers.
This... Prince Arthur didn't go through the security check before getting off the command ship. After all, this is a heavily guarded military space station, and only special people don't need such a check.
Mai Dongzi was deeply moved when he thought of all the assassinations that had been reported about Prince Arthur since he was a child.
The bounty for this person should be incredibly high. If he can't be the top, he'll be at least second.
It's typical that the more glorious the surface, the more dangerous it is behind the scenes. No one knows how many people want his hidden position as crown prince.
As an outsider, she was able to board Prince Arthur's command ship and wait here, which must be a rare treatment.
At least, she was judged to be harmless to Prince Arthur.
The mechanical soldiers quickly checked more than a dozen landing ships, then left the landing ships and scattered around, becoming one of the mechanical guards.
At this time, Mai Dongzi heard the sound of orderly footsteps coming from the passage leading from the command ship to the landing ship area behind her. Adjutant Chen and Captain Fu, who were already standing very straight, immediately adjusted their posture and stood as straight as javelins.
In this situation, Mai Dongzi naturally did not dare to use her mental power to "see" who was coming down from the command ship, but as long as she looked at the reactions of the two people in front of her, she could tell who the person was.
Mai Dongzi turned around instinctively and saw five young officers wearing the same black military uniforms. All five of them had the same upright and handsome figure.
Mai Dongzi's gaze naturally turned to the young officer walking in the second place.
The young man was wearing a neat black military uniform. Except for the gold shoulder straps and the shape of the collar buttons which were slightly different from those of Adjutant Chen and the others, everything else was the same.
Regardless of her memory or the unique aura of this man, Mai Dongzi recognized at a glance that this man was Prince Arthur.
Prince Arthur has a strong aura, not only because he is an early-stage first-level warrior, but also because of the noble temperament he exudes.
After Mai Dongzi confirmed Prince Arthur's identity, she was about to look away and stand behind Adjutant Chen when Prince Arthur felt her gaze, raised his head and looked at her, and their eyes met.
Mai Dongzi thought she was seeing things. When she and Prince Arthur looked at each other, she felt that the look in his eyes was familiar. She shuddered...
But in the blink of an eye, this feeling completely disappeared. She saw the indifferent ice-blue eyes and heard Prince Arthur's cold voice: "Hello, Miss Lucy."
Mai Dongzi immediately gathered all his thoughts, stepped back behind Adjutant Chen, and said respectfully, "Hello, Your Highness."
"You are very good! Work hard on your training!" said Prince Arthur.
"Your Highness."
Prince Arthur said nothing more to her. He walked past Mai Dongzi with four bodyguards and seemingly randomly picked a landing ship to enter. Two of the four bodyguards went in first, followed by Prince Arthur, and finally the other two bodyguards.
"Little Lucy, are you going back to the Xi family or going directly to the Special Talent Training Center? A separate residence has been arranged for you there. As long as you have no objection, you will have your own dormitory in the future." Adjutant Chen asked.
"Let's go back to the Xi family first. I'll go to training after I've dealt with the Xi family's affairs." Mai Dongzi said without hesitation.
Since the end of the survival game, Mai Dongzi has been receiving messages and texts from the Xi family. The contents of these messages all told her to go back home first after returning to the Imperial Capital Star.
The most important message was from the new head of the Xi family, Yuandong Xi.
The new head of the family should be Lucy's cousin in terms of blood relationship. He is younger than Nigri Xi.
The Xi family business that the new head of the family was in charge of was not in the Imperial Capital Star, so he was rarely in the family compound. Apart from family gatherings, Lucy had hardly ever seen him in other occasions, and she had never even spoken to him in her memory.
Mai Dongzi didn't know and didn't want to know how this person was chosen. To her, as long as Nigri Xi continued to be the head of the family, it was enough.
As the elder head of the family called her personally, Mai Dongzi would have to go back to the Xi family first unless she wanted to sever ties with the Xi family.
Because the new head of the family mentioned in the text message that this time he asked her to go back to discuss her father's inclusion in the family tree in order to resolve the issue of her identity in the family.
You have to know that when Lucy left the Xi family, she was still the daughter of Nigri and Zhao Fanny.
Now that things have gotten to this point, everyone knows that Mai Dongzi can't continue to recognize Mrs. Nigri as his parents.
The current Mai Dongzi is no longer the unknown girl in the past. If the Xi family cannot give her an identity that most people can recognize, not only will this peerless genius be pushed away, but she will also become a laughing stock among the aristocratic families and face pressure from Prince Arthur.
The new head of the family and those who come after him should want to record Atom Xi in the family tree, so as to resolve Lucy's embarrassing identity.
But Atom was an illegitimate child, and making him a legitimate descendant of the Xi family would definitely have a lot of voice in his favor.
In the novel, Atom Xi did not die. His wish was always to be recognized by the Xi family, and for this reason he always stayed with the Xi family.
However, the world deeply rejects illegitimate children, and Atom's wish has been delayed. In the novel, it was not until the heroine was reused by Prince Arthur that he was finally recognized by the Xi family.
But in the world that Mai Dongzi was reborn into, not only did Atom Xi die early, his daughter's identity was also switched by someone else, and his wife disappeared without a trace.
Although Atom Xi had passed away seventeen years ago, his wish to be recognized by the Xi family had come true. Now that Mai Dongzi was the adopted daughter of the Xi family, he naturally wanted to fulfill his wish.
Mai Dongzi compared the real situation with the plot in the novel, and after much thought, he felt that these changes were probably related to Zhao Fanni.
However, there was not enough information about the case, so she needed to go back to the Xi family to visit Zhao Fanni in order to confirm her suspicions.
In addition, Mai Dongzi also wanted to meet the friends who had supported Lucy when she was trampled in the mud. In order to reward her, these friends emptied their small coffers.
The newly elected head of the Xi family happens to be the father of two of the young friends.
