But who could have imagined that the despondent Mu Feng, following the army to the battlefield, would suffer a severe injury in a battle?
The man who used to be so proud now lay listlessly on the hospital bed.
The doctors said his spiritual power was seriously damaged and that he might never be able to pilot a cha again.
This was even more severe than killing Mu Feng!
Mu Feng began to refuse food and drink and wouldn’t utter a single word to anyone who visited.
After Luo Xixi visited him, she cried all night.
She thought it over and decided to ask Gu Yan to visit Mu Feng.
Maybe then, Mu Feng would cheer up.
Gu Yan shook her head, "For to visit him, it’s not really appropriate."
"No, no, it’s very appropriate! Gu Yan, I’m begging you! Even if he still likes you, I don’t care anymore, I just hope he can cheer up, not remain as lifeless as he is now,"
Luo Xixi said, breaking into tears as she spoke.
The normally proud young lady, always ticulous with her hair, today let her long locks hang loosely, wearing her school uniform, looking utterly dispirited.
Gu Yan hesitated a little.
But because Luo Xixi was crying, many people gathered around to look.
It was Vivian who spoke up, "Luo Xixi, you should let Xiaoyan think about it. And she’s not soone with a lot of free ti on her hands."
"Then, think about it. There’s no rush. Wait till you’re free. After all, he’s just lying there every day..." Luo Xixi’s voice faded, and she couldn’t help but start crying again.
After Vivian agreed on behalf of Gu Yan, she took her hand and they walked away.
Once they had left the crying Luo Xixi behind, Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "I can’t believe Luo Xixi used to make such a fuss over Mu Feng, and now, for his sake, she’s co to in such a deaning manner."
"Because she loves him, I guess."
"That’s true, those two were engaged for a long ti. Maybe when she had him, she didn’t know how to cherish him, and only after losing Mu Feng did she realize she has always deeply loved him."
"So Xiaoyan, will you visit Mu Feng?"
Gu Yan: "I’m not clear on the specifics of his injury. I plan to inquire discreetly before deciding."
"Yeah, that’s good too."
There’s no need to make a rash promise, swayed by emotions.
Nor is there a need to be too cold-hearted.
After all, whether it’s Mu Feng or Luo Xixi, neither of them are enemies.
Gu Yan asked her mother about Mu Feng’s injury.
"Mu Feng is truly injured, with his spiritual power damaged. The Starship Fleet they were part of encountered Star Thieves in battle, the kind who fight without regard for their own lives. Mu Feng got injured while covering for his comrades,"
"This child, he was supposed to be the finest of Mu Family’s younger generation."
Gu Yan couldn’t help but ask, "Is his injury serious?"
"There’s a great chance he will no longer be able to pilot cha, but it won’t affect his daily life. However, for soone who is very proud and aspired to be a Commander, the damage to his spiritual power essentially ans the end of his Star Warrior career."
Su Wan looked at her daughter, asking gently, "Do you want to go see him?"
Gu Yan nodded earnestly, "Yes, I heard that he was injured while saving a comrade, so I don’t think he’s a bad person, and he is an outstanding Star Warrior. Besides, Luo Xixi is quite pitiable. She begged like that, just hoping that Mu Feng can cheer up. If my visit can lift his spirits, that should be a good thing. Moreover, Mu Feng is a relative from my grandfather’s side and was also favored by my grandfather before."
For both public and private reasons, Gu Yan felt she should pay him a visit.
"If you’ve made up your mind, go ahead and do it,"
Su Wan looked approvingly at her daughter.
She noticed her daughter’s perspective was gradually broadening.
Xiaoyan had her own feelings to stick to but at the sa ti, she was not rejecting all the people on the outside.
And when faced with problems, she wasn’t unfeeling, but neither was she sentintal.
That was good.
And quite rare.
Gu Yan’s promise to visit Mu Feng greatly pleased Luo Xixi.
She ca early in the morning in her flying vehicle to pick up Gu Yan.
But Vivian didn’t feel entirely at ease, so she accompanied Gu Yan.
Mu Feng had already been brought back to the Mu Family for recovery, and since he now refused to see or speak to anyone, a gloom hung over the entire household.
The arrival of Gu Yan and the others ca as a surprise to them.
Yet in their hearts, a faint glimr of hope began to rise.
"Miss Gu Yan, it’s wonderful that you’re willing to co see little Feng!"
"Auntie, we’re just visiting our senior, as classmates."
"Very well, co inside. What kind of drink would you like? I’ll prepare it for you!"
Luo Xixi followed behind, sighing softly as she saw how warmly the Mu Family mbers treated Gu Yan. She turned to Vivian and said, "Every ti I co, I’ve never been received with such honor."
Vivian turned to look at her, "Are you jealous of Gu Yan?"
"Of course, I’m jealous. With Gu Yan being so great, probably all the girls on Landis Star are envious. She’s from a good family, beautiful, and also strong in her abilities; and the worst part is, she has a good personality too." Luo Xixi let out a sigh, "How does soone even get so lucky with birth?"
Vivian was sowhat speechless.
If you’re going to put it like that, she didn’t know what else she could say.
anwhile, Gu Yan and company went to the back, to Mu Feng’s residence. The Mu Family had preserved so of the architectural and decorative styles of Ancient Earth, which Gu Yan actually quite enjoyed.
Mrs. Mu stood at the door with a hint of apology, "Could you perhaps go in one by one? The doctor has ntioned that little Feng’s ntal state is very fragile right now and he shouldn’t be disturbed."
Gu Yan pursed her lips slightly.
Luo Xixi looked at her with eager eyes.
In the end, Gu Yan nodded, "Alright, I’ll go in first and take a look at him."
Luo Xixi had just visited Mu Feng yesterday, and since Vivian was there to accompany Gu Yan, she decided to wait outside.
If there were any trouble, Gu Yan could use Instant Teleportation imdiately, so there wasn’t any danger.
Gu Yan pushed the door open. A faint aroma was in the room; she recognized it as Calming Incense from Ancient Earth.
Mu Feng, dressed in a silver howear, lay on the bed with his eyes open, motionless, staring at the wind chi on the ceiling.
He had lost a great deal of weight.
He was drastically different from the vigorous and lively Senior Mu Feng she had seen before.
Gu Yan felt a bit sad because he should have been an excellent Star Warrior and was ant to beco a distinguished Commander.
She walked to the bedside, but he was still unmoving.
"Senior Mu Feng, I heard you were injured, so I ca to see how you were."
After Gu Yan spoke, the room remained very quiet.
She wondered if Mu Feng had heard her at all or perhaps, the deeply affected Mu Feng didn’t want to hear anyone’s words right now.
Her visit seed to be of no use.
Gu Yan glanced at the wind chi in the corner of the room.
With a soft sigh, she turned to leave.
Just at that mont, a hoarse voice ca from behind her.
"Gu Yan, I’ve had so dreams. In those dreams, I saw the scenes of Ancient Earth, and in them, I t you."
