Two months later, in the No. 6 spaceport of Heavenly Saints City …
"Achoo!"
Xie Anan sneezed. Her delicate nose slightly wrinkled, while she retreated into her red jacket, as if she was trying to hide inside it.
Heavenly Saints City was a space fortress. The weather and temperature were all maintained by magical equipment. It was completely possible to adjust the weather to be like spring all year round.
However, the people living in the sea of stars still missed the days when there were four seasons on a planet. Therefore, Heavenly Saints City had been simulated with spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Rain, snow, haze, and other weather would occur irregularly.
It was now the beginning of spring in Heavenly Saints City. Damp, cold winds were blowing in from the empty No. 6 spaceport and crawling into the sleeves and collars of the travelers.
However, what worried the girl was not the weather but the arduous task that she was about to face.
"Seriously. There are so many students in our department. Why do I have to be the one to receive the visiting scholar?"
Xie Anan sniffed and complained to Long Yunxin in a low voice.
Xie Anan and Long Yunxin were both from noble refining families with a long history in the world of Cultivators. They had been friends since they were little.
In the recent Skyhill Sword Seminar, both of them had dealt with Li Yao. Long Yunxin had even been defeated by Li Yao.
Because she had been eliminated too early, Long Yunxin naturally did not win the favor of the three Crystal Suit Centers.
Thankfully, her basic skills were solid, and she had a lot of connections in the circle of refiners. She was finally recruited as an assistant researcher by the Refining Department of Flying Star University, her alma mater. Right now, she was working in a well-established laboratory affiliated to the Refining Department.
Xie Anan, Long Yunxin, and four young refiners from the Refining Department of Flying Star University had purposely come to the No. 6 spaceport to receive a special visiting scholar.
Most of the hundred foreign students from Iron Plateau had arrived a month ago. It was inevitable that the young people from the desolate land would cause a lot of trouble the moment they arrived at the most prosperous and advanced metropolis of the Flying Star Sector. They also left a lot of hilarious jokes.
However, the visiting scholar, Sand Scorpion, did not come with them. However, he didn't come with the others and arrived late, only arriving today.
The Refining Department of Flying Star University had reached a consensus on how to receive the unusual visiting scholar. They also reached a preliminary consensus.
All the specialists and scholars did not believe that Sand Scorpion was truly capable enough to participate in the refining research of Flying Star University.
However, not only was the guy a local magnate, he was also backed by such an enormous force as Iron Plateau. If he was willing to be the middleman, Li Yao would be able to convince Iron Plateau to invest in certain projects of the Refining Department. It was definitely something that everyone dreamed of.
Therefore, the standard of reception for him was also quite high.
With the position of Flying Star University in the world of Cultivators, the visiting scholars from other places were like pilgrims to the university. Even the most renowned experts in the field would only be received by the reception office of the university.
This time, four young professors and researchers from the Refining Department were sent to the spaceport to greet Li Yao. In Flying Star University … It was quite a grand occasion.
Long Yunxin, on the other hand, volunteered herself.
She was the kind of person who liked to see the world in chaos. Therefore, she was particularly interested in the visiting scholar from Iron Plateau. She smiled and said, "It can't be helped, Anan. You are the only one in the Refining Department who has ever touched Sand Scorpion. He saved your life. Of course, you are the best person to receive him! Speaking of which, you've met him before. What kind of person is the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau? "
Xie Anan blushed all of a sudden.
Half a year ago, in the big explosion after the Skyhill Sword Seminar. She had been kidnapped by the Temple of Immortals and brought to Iron Plateau, only to be rescued by Li Yao.
However, she had only seen Li Yao briefly in the valley before she was handed over to the Great Horn Exo Society and left Iron Plateau. She had never seen Li Yao again.
However, there was a tiny secret in the girl's heart.
When the twenty hostages were all locked in prison, this' Sand Scorpion 'had reached out to her and learned the details from her. That was why he had carried out the subsequent operations.
"I wonder if he still remembers me?"
Xie Anan thought to herself. Then, she was shocked by her own thoughts. Blushing, she said, "It — it was not until we were in a nameless valley that he took off the hood. I was dizzy and didn't see him clearly. I only remember that he was wearing hideous armor, and his messy hair covered his entire face. His voice was hoarse, and he was very brutal. He asked us to dig a hole before we could catch our breath.
"However, we heard a lot of stories about Sand Scorpion from the Great Horn Exo Society. It is said that the man is a newly risen expert on Iron Plateau who claims to be invincible in the six tribes. No one in the six tribes of Iron Plateau dares to challenge him. Even the best warrior of the six tribes two generations ago was beaten to death by him!"
Xie Anan stuck out her tongue and wrinkled her nose. "Such a ferocious guy is definitely not someone to be messed with. What if — what if I infuriate him when I receive him?"
"Don't be scared. We will take care of everything. He is just a simple-minded barbarian. That's all!"
Four young men who had been chatting nearby walked over and said with a smile.
Although Xie Anan was a student and they were all teachers, some of the young teachers were born in noble families of refining. They had known Xie Anan since she was a little girl and treated her like a younger sister.
Therefore, they were not as restrained as other teachers and students when they talked.
The young refiner in the lead was as thin as a monkey. He had a big mole under his left eye. His name was Hou Zitao, and he specialized in the research of spiritual firearms. He had several patents in his hands at such a young age. He was a rising star in the circle.
He had been in Flying Star University for five years. He had been working as an assistant for other people until he applied for a project this year. He was ambitious and ready to show his skills.
However, he had never realized the importance of refining when he was working as an assistant. It was too wasteful for him to realize the arts of refining until he was leading a team on a project.
In a place like Flying Star University, where seniors and authorities were everywhere, it was extremely difficult for a rising star such as Hou Zitao to apply for a research grant.
Therefore, Hou Zitao was the first one who jumped out to greet the rich guy when he heard that a rich guy was visiting the Refining Department as a visiting scholar.
Hou Zitao smiled. "Anan, you don't need to think too much. After all, when you see the rich guy later, just stick close to him and thank him for saving your life. Make him dizzy with gratitude first. Then, the few of us will surround him and flatter him until he is carried away. Then, we will show him the few projects that we are working on. However awesome the guy is, he is just a muscle. He was just a muscle. Could it be that he really knew how to refine weapons? By then, hehehehe … "
Hou Zitao was laughing shamelessly.
The other young refiners were in a similar situation. They were all smiling and rubbing their hands. They were all considering that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They had to rip the rich guy off no matter what!
Long Yunxin sniffed. She pulled Xie Anan aside and glanced at the guys who were indulging in their fantasy coldly. She lowered her voice and said, "Anan, don't listen to Monkey's nonsense. All you need to do is the most basic reception work. Don't think that the guy is a rich idiot who wants to take benefits from him. In my opinion, the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau is not to be messed with! "
Xie Anan was dazed. "Sister Long, do you know Sand Scorpion?"
Long Yunxin smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course I don't know Sand Scorpion. But I have a close friend in the Cross Wind Space Zone who told me a piece of shocking news yesterday!
"Anan, do you know why Sand Scorpion didn't come until today?"
Xie Anan was still confused. "The Cross Wind Space Zone?"
"Yes. There is a small family of Cultivators in the Cross Wind Space Zone. The Wu family has never had any experts before. It is one of the weakest families among all the noble families. "
Long Yunxin said in delight, "However, twenty years ago, a young Wu family of Iron Plateau was born. However, a young expert with extraordinary strength emerged from the Wu Ma family. His name is Wu Ma Fei, and he reached the high level of the Building Foundation Stage before the age of forty. He joined the rather influential White Dragon Society in the Cross Wind Galaxy and became the backbone of the sect. He also helped the Wu Ma family gain a lot of property.
"It was a pity that the geniuses were jealous. A few years later, when Wu Mafei took his wife and children to visit his parents-in-law, they were caught by space pirates and went missing.
"At that time, everybody thought that Wu Mafei's family was dead. The wealth that Wu Mafei earned, as well as the pension and insurance compensation provided by the White Dragon Society, naturally went to the Wu family.
"The previous generation of the Wu family was already old, but Wu Mafei still had two elder brothers. Therefore, the wealth was divided among the two elder brothers.
"But as it turned out, although Wu Mafei had perished, Wu Mayan, his only son, ended up on Iron Plateau.
"Now that the communication between the Iron Plateau natives and the space residents had begun, Wu Mayan naturally returned to the Cross Wind Space Zone with his father's ashes to acknowledge his ancestors!
"It was not a big deal that he acknowledged his ancestors, but the Wu family was going to be in an awkward situation! It was an unknown, mediocre family that made a name for itself through Wu Mafei's hard work. Later, it was with the pension and insurance that Wu Mafei gradually established itself!
"Now that Wu Mafei's only son has shown up, how should the Wu family's wealth be divided?"
Xie Anan listened to the conversation in a daze. She tilted her head and thought for a long time before she said, "Since Wu Mafei had a son, all the insurance compensation and all the wealth that Wu Mafei earned before would naturally be inherited by his only son!"
Long Yunxin sneered. "That is true, but the two elder brothers have enjoyed Wu Mafei's legacy for so many years. How can they be willing to give up everything when they are asked to?
"The communication between the two parties has only just begun. Iron Plateau is still a mysterious place for most space residents. Nobody knows what is going on on Iron Plateau exactly.
"When Wu Mayan returned to his family, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old. He looked like a teenager, and his mother was only a doctor who could not even truss a chicken. When the two uncles saw the orphan and the widow, they thought that they were weak and easily bullied. So, they decided to take over the family's property. According to my friend, they seemed to have proposed a very harsh division agreement. They wanted to beat up the orphan and the widow with just a few melons and two dates."
"But as it turned out, other than being Wu Mafei's only son, Wu Mayan had another identity. He was the disciple of Sand Scorpion, the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau!
