"Oh?" Wang Baole's expression was normal as he listened to the Big Tree's words. The smile on his face was still the same. His gaze swept across the crowd, and he nodded politely at the few cultivators who bowed to him. He also saw Lin You, who was surrounded by a group of people in the distance, looking at him.
Wang Baole smiled slightly and nodded at Lin You. Lin You's appearance did not seem to have changed much compared to before. After all, when one's cultivation reached a certain level, the traces of time on one's body would become fainter. Other than one's aura, one's appearance would no longer be easy to judge.
Lin You had been paying attention to Wang Baole all this time. At that moment, he noticed Wang Baole's gaze. His expression was solemn, and he bowed deeply to Wang Baole across the crowd. After he got up, a hint of hesitation flashed across his eyes, but it quickly turned into determination, and he walked towards Wang Baole.
Big Tree's expression did not change at all when he saw Lin You, whom he had just mentioned, walking towards him. His expression was still respectful, but his words had changed to a report of his work on Mars over the years. His voice was not loud, but it was just enough for Lin You, who was walking over, to hear some of it. Then, when Lin You came closer and laughed, Big Tree turned his head and smiled at Lin You, cupping his fists.
"Fellow Daoist Osmanthus, I hope I'm not disturbing you. Can you give me a moment of Baole's time?" Lin You joked, his eyes filled with kindness.
"President Lin, you must be joking. I've already finished my report. I wouldn't dare to continue disturbing you." Big Tree's expression was still the same as usual. He smiled and cupped his fists again, then respectfully left.
As he watched Big Tree leave, Lin You's gaze swept past him in a seemingly casual manner. When he turned his head to look at Wang Baole, a look of regret and regret appeared on his face. Even though he didn't immediately speak to Wang Baole, his expression clearly showed what he was about to say.
Among the upper echelons of the Federation, Wang Baole had only seen Duan Muque and Li Xingwen possess the ability to make others understand without needing to open their mouths. They could even make others think of the past through their expressions.
"In the blink of an eye, many years have passed …" Lin You sighed softly. Then, his expression became solemn again. He took a step back and bowed deeply to Wang Baole.
"Yuexing Sect's honorary disciple, Lin You, greets Senior!"
Wang Baole raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked at Lin You with a faint smile and asked.
"Moonstar Sect? When did such a sect appear in the Federation? What do you mean, Brother Lin? "
"Baole, don't tease me." Lin You smiled bitterly and cupped his fists again.
"Baole, I don't know if Brother Osmanthus said anything to you, but to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings, I have to explain myself."
Lin You was silent for a moment before he spoke softly. "Many years ago, I went missing in a relic on Earth and returned many years later. Although I have told the Federation most of the things that happened during that time, there are still some secrets that I haven't told you …"
"The place where I went missing is called the Moonstar Sect. This sect should be related to the ancient Earth, so I wasn't the first, nor was I the last person to be sent there. After a series of inspections, I became an unofficial disciple and was taught a cultivation method … In the end, I was sent back here with a mission."
"What mission?" Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and asked slowly.
"To record the history of Earth's evolution since the Spirit Inception Era and participate in it. In the face of danger that could affect the survival of the entire Federation, I sent someone who I thought could be called a seed into the relic." Lin You's eyes were honest. He didn't hide anything.
"I don't know what the Moonstar Sect's goal is, but I know that the Federation is my hometown. That's why I didn't send anyone there after I returned. Instead, I took the initiative to report it. That's why the number of relic disappearances has decreased over the years."
"But … Baole, if the Federation really faces an irreversible crisis, I might still carry out that mission and try my best to leave a seed for the Federation."
"The reason why I'm telling you this now is because I, Lin You, have a clear conscience!" With that, Lin You bowed deeply to Wang Baole again. He raised his head and didn't avoid Wang Baole's gaze. He wanted to show his sincerity.
After staring at Lin You for a long time, Wang Baole nodded slowly. There was a thoughtful look in his eyes, and he suddenly asked.
"Tell me more about the Moonstar Sect."
"I don't know where the Moonstar Sect is, nor do I know how powerful it is. But I know that … there should be no less than a hundred Planet realm cultivators like you, Baole."
"As for the stars … Just by looking up from the Moonstar Sect, I can see dozens of stars in the sky! "At the same time, this Sect must have a deep connection with ancient Earth. In fact, it's possible that they were once Earth's ancient people who migrated there." Also … I've seen quite a few Moon Laurel Trees in the Moonstar Sect, Fellow Daoist Osmanthus …. "A look of reminiscence appeared in Lin You's eyes.
"Oh, right. In the Moonstar Sect, people who have reached a certain level of status all wear masks … There are all kinds of masks, and most of them are different."
"Masks?" Wang Baole was stunned and fell into deep thought. After Lin You finished speaking, he heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't lie. He didn't want Wang Baole to misunderstand, and he didn't want them to become enemies because of this.
After all, this was his hometown. Everything he owned was in the Federation. Now that his son was getting married, he was deeply attached to this place. That was why when he saw the conversation between the giant tree and Wang Baole earlier, even though he didn't know the details, he could vaguely sense it. That was why, after some hesitation, he decided to reveal all the secrets he had hidden deep in his heart. He believed that with Wang Baole's intelligence and experience, he would be able to tell whether he was telling the truth.
After he finished speaking, Lin You felt a lot more relaxed. Seeing that Wang Baole was deep in thought, he didn't continue to disturb him. Instead, he cupped his fists and left.
Many people sensed that Wang Baole was deep in thought. After all, those who were able to attend the wedding were all high-ranking members of the Federation. They knew what to do. Therefore, in the following time, no one disturbed Wang Baole.
Just like that, after half an hour, Wang Baole muttered to himself.
"I seem to have forgotten something …" Wang Baole's eyes narrowed. After hearing the word 'mask' and thinking about it, the masked woman in the Graveyard of Stars appeared in his mind!
This figure couldn't be erased. As it became more and more deeply ingrained in his mind, it finally stopped at the beautiful woman's mask. As he thought about it, the eyes of the woman in the mask in his mind became clearer.
Finally, Wang Baole raised his right hand and took out the jade scroll that could be used to contact the Fiery Laozu. After pondering for a moment, he respectfully sent a voice transmission.
"Is Master here? Do you have the complete list of Star Travellers that was sent to the Never-Ending Dao Domain from the Graveyard of Stars? "
Wang Baole knew that this list wasn't available to everyone. Only those who were qualified in the Never-Ending Dao Domain could receive it. However, in the Graveyard of Stars, he could only see himself. He couldn't see the entire list. Originally, he didn't care too much about this matter. However, with the masked woman's figure and doubts in his mind, Wang Baole decided to check the complete list.
Not long after, the Fiery Laozu received Wang Baole's voice transmission and sent the list over. At the same time, he replied to Wang Baole.
"My good disciple, I have arranged for someone to pick you up. When you are done with your matters, I will wait for you in the Fiery Star System!"
"Yes, Master!" After replying respectfully, Wang Baole immediately opened the complete list sent by the Fiery Laozu. After skimming through it, his breathing quickened. His eyes narrowed as he stared at a name on the list!
Li Waner, Moonstar Sect!
"Li Waner … Is this a coincidence?" In Wang Baole's mind, Li Waner's figure overlapped with the masked woman's figure. He couldn't believe it. Hence, he sent a voice transmission to Lin Tianhao, who was toasting with Du Min. Then, he hurriedly left the wedding venue. After walking out of the main hall, he took a step forward and disappeared instantly.
When he reappeared, he was no longer on Mars. Instead, he was speeding through space. In an instant, he landed on Earth and appeared … outside the Head Senator's residence!
Outside the residence, Wang Baole took a deep breath and stood there with cupped fists.
"Junior Wang Baole requests an audience with Uncle Li!"
Although the Head Senator's cultivation had fallen to that of a mortal, his contributions to the Federation, especially his identity as Li Waner's father, made it necessary for Wang Baole to greet him as a junior!
