It's quite obvious.
Han Qingxue is actually very pleased about marrying Xu Lingjun.
But she fears Xu Lingjun might see her as a re childbearing tool, that once he completes the tasks he promised to Han Xu Yang, he might discard her like an old shoe... She doesn't want to be just a tool; she wants to be a proper wife to Xu Lingjun.
For this reason, she forced herself to suppress her shyness and extended an invitation to Xu Lingjun, even humbly trying to please him.
However, Xu Lingjun had no ulterior motives...
No feelings?
Then they'll just have to be cultivated.
Since they beca a couple in the whole Blue Star's eyes, he would naturally fulfill the obligations and responsibilities of a husband.
People are not plants, even raising a cat, after being around for a long ti, one would develop deep feelings.
Bathing with Han Qingxue, comforting her uneasy heart along the way...
By the ti they finished bathing, dawn had already co.
The two went together to pay respects to Han Xu Yang and served him tea.
Having finally arranged the succession matters, Han Xu Yang seed much relieved, accepting Xu Lingjun's filial offerings with a cheerful smile, then... inford him that he had so personal matters to discuss with his daughter, Han Yun City was waiting for him in the side hall.
It seed there was sothing very important to discuss with him.
Xu Lingjun nodded, his gaze naturally drifting to Han Xu Yang's back...
There, a cute little girl with delicate features was timidly looking at Xu Lingjun, her eyes overflowing with curious glint.
Clearly, she was actually looking forward to her future husband, but being shy, she was too embarrassed to approach.
Xu Lingjun smiled at her...
The little girl panicked imdiately and quickly hid behind Han Xu Yang.
After a pause, she shyly peeked out again, secretly glancing... only to find that Xu Lingjun had already disappeared without a trace.
The little girl was at once disappointed.
He was such a handso person, she actually wanted to look at him a bit longer.
He arrived at the side hall.
In the main hall, there were only Han Yun City and Yi Shiqi...
Perhaps because Han Yun City was from the Yun Yi clan, there seed to be so connection with the Iron Wing Clan?
Or perhaps because they both had wings, Han Yun City had always shown Yi Shiqi a certain courtesy.
For this reason, Yi Shiqi actually enjoyed interacting with Han Yun City.
But today, the two clearly hadn't slept all night, drinking tea here the whole ti... giving off a heavily worried vibe.
Especially when Yi Shiqi saw Xu Lingjun, his eyes lit up, as if he saw a savior.
"Is there sothing you need to report to ?"
Xu Lingjun ca over, poured himself a strong cup of tea, and drank it in one go.
Although with his cultivation, staying up all night wasn't an issue, if he worked hard throughout the night, a slight feeling of fatigue would still linger.
"A big event occurred, an event that threatens the entire Blue Star; if it is not handled properly, Blue Star may cease to exist."
Han Yun City spoke with seriousness, but his posture remained quite leisurely.
The bouncing of his crossed legs even beca more pronounced.
Xu Lingjun couldn't help but feel awkward looking at him... Father Wang had taught him that shaking one's leg would shake away all the wealth...
He slapped down on his leg.
Even after hearing Han Yun City's warning, Xu Lingjun showed no sign of solemnity as he asked: "Yi Shiqi, you ought to be aware of sothing, right?"
"Yes...yes."
Yi Shiqi's eyes revealed a trace of anxiousness and unease as he said: "Commander in Chief, just a few days ago, our Iron Wing Civilization received an invitation, inviting to Bingshuang Civilization for an oath-bound eting, claiming to discuss a partition agreent for Blue Star."
"Oh? Then what?"
Xu Lingjun's deanor remained calm.
Seeing him that way filled Yi Shiqi with admiration; both Xu Lingjun and Han Yun City seed utterly unconcerned about the mysterious races of the heavens plotting against them... or perhaps everything was already part of their strategy.
He felt like he was more worried than the Emperor.
He said: "I've heard that this ti, the Star Lord Crowley of Bingshuang Civilization invited many civilizations. Unlike the previous Silicon Civilization invasion of Blue Star, where they aid to monopolize Blue Star and thus invited only us, the Iron Wing Clan, the Fla Race, and a few other vassal clans, this ti it's different. They are seeking the secrets of Blue Star's continuation, hence the number of invited civilizations is at least three tis more than before!"
Yi Shiqi curled his finger and said: "At the very least, there are no less than five civilizations, with strength on par with or surpassing that of the Silicon Based Planet's Level 2 Civilization."
Xu Lingjun asked in surprise: "Level 2 Civilization?"
Han Yun City replied: "This is a cosmic classification system for civilizations... I only learned about this grading while chatting with Yi Shiqi over the past few days."
"Hmm, it seems to be an implicit universal ranking system, determined by the level of planetary developnt. Just like before, Blue Star was classified as a Level 0 Civilization, characterized by not having ventured beyond its planet, confined to internal power struggles. Therefore, they could only exploit natural resources from within the planet. Humans used to be a Level 0 Civilization."
Yi Shiqi continued: "But now, humans should be considered a Level 1 Civilization because Blue Star has achieved political unification and ventured beyond, truly facing the cosmos. Speaking as a planetary civilization on a cosmic scale."
