"But it's not a bad thing."
Li Yao's trip to the Cross Wind Space Zone was purely a coincidence. He did not have any purpose, but he was not a man who could refuse other people's requests. Since the two uncles of the Wu family were determined to be killed, how could he not fulfill their wish?
He had only intended to help his disciple take back the family property that was rightfully his. But after some investigation, he discovered that the Wu family was mainly engaged in the transportation business. Most of the properties under their name were half-used carriers.
When Wu Mayan's biological father, Wu Mafei, was still alive, he had been in charge of the transportation business in the White Dragon Society. After a few years, he had led the Wu family into the transportation business, too.
Although his two brothers were unethical, they were quite shrewd in business.
After Wu Mafei's death, the two brothers continued to work hard in the transportation business with the connections and funds that he had left behind. The White Dragon Society also cooperated with the Wu family for Wu Mafei's sake. After more than ten years, the Wu family's business was thriving. No wonder the two uncles were unwilling to let go of it.
After Li Yao finished his investigation, he realized that it was related to the plan that he had been making in secret.
Later, he seized the evidence that the two uncles had hired assassins to hurt other people. Then, through a series of secret operations, he expelled the two uncles from the leadership of the Wu family and helped Wu Mayan take back most of the family property.
In the Wu family, other than the two uncles, there were also a lot of collateral family members, who were all experienced veterans in the transportation industry. Li Yao selected a few of the collateral family members who were honest and easy to control or who were close to Wu Mafei in the past but had been suppressed by the two uncles over the years and promoted them to management positions.
With that as the foundation, together with the tremendous resources that Li Yao had received from Iron Plateau and the support of Sha Yulan's family … Therefore, the new 'Glorious Sunlight Group' was established!
Li Yao was not scared that the Wu family would betray him because the core competitiveness of the Glorious Sunlight Group was the relationship between Li Yao, Wu Mayan, and the rest of them on Iron Plateau. Through the relationship, they had obtained the exclusive rights to the resources.
Without the relationship, the 'Glorious Sunlight Group' would have been nothing.
Moreover, Li Yao believed it. After he blew up three crystal suits bare-handed, anybody who wanted to betray him would have to think carefully about the consequences of their betrayal.
Li Yao's purpose in establishing the Glorious Sunlight Group was very simple. On one hand, he wanted to make a lot of profits through the trade between the Iron Plateau natives and the space residents so that he could support the production of planetary-level magical equipment in the future. As well as searching the Tian Yuan Realm.
The universe was so vast that finding a Sector among the thousands of stars and locating the coordinates of the Sector was undoubtedly a job that cost a lot of money.
On the other hand, since the Glorious Sunlight Group was preparing to transport goods between the Iron Plateau natives and the Flying Star Sector, it was only natural that the Glorious Sunlight Group would establish its own guards and even Exo Societies.
This reason. This would allow Li Yao to openly form his own armed forces.
Maybe, one day, the Exo Societies under the Glorious Sunlight Group would join him. Return to the Tian Yuan Realm in a majestic manner!
Right now, the Glorious Sunlight Group, which had just been established, was an excellent cover for him, too. It could help him cover a lot of secrets.
Hardly had the Glorious Sunlight Group been registered when Li Yao purchased a batch of secondhand carriers in the name of the Glorious Sunlight Group through the secondhand starship trading platform. Several of the carriers were very similar in appearance to Sparkle.
Li Yao planned to modify the secondhand carriers so that they were similar in appearance to Sparkle as much as possible. Then, he would dismantle one of the secondhand carriers and keep only its serial number.
In such a way, Sparkle would be a substitute. With a legal identity, Sparkle would be able to travel on the sailing routes in the sea of stars openly. As long as nobody boarded the starship for inspection, it would be hard to find any loopholes.
Other than that, Li Yao also began to purchase magical equipment from the circle of refiners in the name of the Glorious Sunlight Group, preparing to build a refining workshop exclusive to the Glorious Sunlight Group. Naturally, it was prepared for Mo Xuan and the other spectral Cultivators.
Mo Xuan used to be the director of the Refining Department of the Grand Desolate War Institution. After wandering in the sea of stars for such a long time, he couldn't wait to show his skills.
Li Yao had discussed with them before that he would establish a branch of the Refining Department of the Grand Desolate War Institution in the Flying Star Sector. Now that Li Yao had abundant resources, it was time to fulfill his promise.
The branch could be established under the name of 'Technology Research Center of the Glorious Sunlight Group'.
"The Glorious Sunlight Group has been established. Although we don't have many carriers under our name right now, as long as we have the exclusive rights to many resources on Iron Plateau, we will be a treasure bowl. Many sects have proposed to cooperate with us. The profits will be endless.
"The low-quality minerals that can't be smelted on Iron Plateau alone will be sold to the world fragments in space that can be smelted. There is no telling how much money we can make just from this!
"Therefore, the research funding shouldn't be a problem.
"As for Professor Mo Xuan, he once supported the entire Project Mystic Skeleton on his own. He is the leader of the grassroots refiners. Obviously, he is not a nerd who knows nothing but research. As long as he is given sufficient resources, it will be a piece of cake for him to establish and maintain a research center.
"Everything is on the right track. Very good. All I need to do now is to focus on my training. In five years, I will become an ultimate Jin Dan!"
The starship shivered and landed in the spaceport.
Li Yao stretched himself. He moved his left hand softly. The hundreds of components that were dancing in midair immediately rushed to his wrist and danced around his wrist, constituting a watch precisely.
Tick tock, tick tock. The second hand ticked very precisely.
Li Yao walked to the exit in the middle of a group of passengers.
Before, after his identity was exposed in the Cross Wind Space Zone, the local Cultivation sects in the Cross Wind Space Zone had proposed that a starship be sent to Heavenly Saints City.
Flying Star University had also proposed that a starship be sent to the Cross Wind Space Zone to pick him up.
However, he had turned down all the offers and chosen to take a regular carrier to Heavenly Saints City. He had also asked Flying Star University to keep it a secret.
The trouble that he needed to avoid was not just the ubiquitous reporters but also the Temple of Immortals lurking in the darkness.
After the battle on Iron Plateau, Li Yao believed that he was already at the top of the Temple of Immortals' blacklist.
Although he was not scared of the Temple of Immortals, he did not want to be stabbed by a bunch of Spider's Thorns all day long and waste a lot of his training time.
Seeing that there were no reporters outside of the spaceport, Li Yao was greatly relieved. He narrowed his eyes and looked for the people who had come to pick him up.
Very soon, three men wearing the emblem of Flying Star University entered his sight.
However, the three of them seemed to be too muscular. The aura around them was ten times sharper than that of common refiners, too.
When their eyes met, they hesitated for a moment. Then, they raised their wrists and looked at the 3D photo on their mini crystal processors, before they strode toward him.
Li Yao frowned and thought to himself, Are you kidding me? The assassins of the Temple of Immortals are so arrogant that they are bold enough to assassinate in Heavenly Saints City? That's not right. Although these three people aren't weak, they don't seem to be assassins. "
"Greetings, Master Sand!"
When the three of them stopped in front of Li Yao, they were like three moving radiation sources. They did not disguise their aggressiveness at all. The one in the lead was tall and muscular. He was more than two meters tall, with bumps and pimples all over his face. He was obviously the kind of guy who would not feel comfortable if he did not find someone to practice with. He grinned and said, "I am Liao Guohui, a teacher of the Combat Department of Flying Star University. I am from the Furious Bears Union!
"I am Cai Yu, a professor of the Battlesuit Department of Flying Star University."
The second young man, who was tall and thin and looked like a snake, smiled. "In the meantime, I am a disciple of the Feathered Snakes Brotherhood, too."
"My name is Feng Kaixuan. I am a level-two researcher of the Flying Sword Department."
The third young man was short and muscular. His neck was even thicker than his head. There was a long cloth bag on his back. His eyes were big, but his pupils were small. Sharpness beamed out of his eyes as he eyed Li Yao up and down. "I am from the Heavenly Wolves Fortress."
Li Yao was dazed for a moment. Then he realized what was going on. He smiled and said, "Fellow Cultivators, I remember that when I communicated with your university, I was told that the Refining Department would receive me. My research and communication would be conducted in the Refining Department, too.
"Master Sand, you are the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau. The three of us are somewhat famous among the younger generation of the six sects of Heavenly Saints City, too."
Feng Kaixuan, the young man who looked like a snake, smiled and said, "When we heard that you were coming to Flying Star University as a visiting scholar, we were all excited and thought that we could finally experience the marvelous skills of the legendary qi-trainers. We didn't expect that you would choose the Refining Department as your communication partner!
"It's not a big deal. The three of us have come here to welcome you mainly because we want you to know that the Combat Department, the Battlesuit Department, the Flying Sword Department, and the other departments that are related to combat are all welcome to Master Sand so that we can communicate with each other.
"The relationship between the six sects of Heavenly Saints City and the six tribes of Iron Plateau is very subtle. Everybody knows that. But we are all young people. There is no need to cut off all communication with each other just because of the past. Don't you agree, Master Sand?"
Li Yao smiled and said, "Of course. As long as there is a chance, I'd like to communicate with the teachers and students of the Combat Department, the Flying Sword Department, and the Battlesuit Department, too."
Feng Kaixuan smiled and extended his hand to Li Yao. "Alright. We don't mean anything else. We're just here to welcome you, Master Sand."
"Of course, of course."
Li Yao stared at Feng Kaixuan's hand.
The right hand that he extended seemed to be made of marble. There was not the slightest feeling of flesh and blood.
Li Yao did not say anything. He shook hands with Feng Kaixuan as if nothing had happened.
Feng Kaixuan's face immediately froze.
