"And you are?" The Old Mistress asked with a smile. This was the question Ye Chong wanted to ask the most.
Han Yue realized that he had forgotten to introduce his good friend, and quickly said, "This is my good friend, Luo Shi, a famous expert on Dankwood planet." He turned to Luo Shi and said, "This Old Mistress is an important guest of the Han Family." His introduction of the Old Mistress was vague, but Luo Shi was a smart man. He smiled and bowed to the Old Mistress, his manner natural and unrestrained.
"Ah!" Beside the Old Mistress, Ying Er gasped. Embarrassed, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand, but still asked, "You're Luo Shi, the one who participated in the last Congregation?"
Luo Shi smiled and said generously, "I didn't expect the Young Mistress to remember an unknown person like me."
Ying Er blushed and said embarrassedly, "Young Master Luo, you must be joking. If Young Master Luo is an unknown person, then most people in the world are nobodies." This statement was not an exaggeration. Those who were qualified to participate in the Congregation were all true experts. Many young experts would emerge from every Congregation, and these young experts would often become famous throughout the world. In many people's minds, participating in the Congregation Selection was a path to fame.
"Young Master Luo, to be able to participate in the Congregation Selection at such a young age, you are indeed a young hero," the Old Mistress praised.
Luo Shi replied humbly, "You flatter me, Old Mistress."
Ye Chong looked at Luo Shi coldly, feeling a sense of familiarity that made him pay more attention to Luo Shi.
"And this is?" Luo Shi's eyes fell on Ye Chong. They were calm, but Ye Chong could sense a well-hidden wariness in them.
"Uh …" Han Yue was troubled, because he did not know how to introduce this mysterious alchemist. The alchemist had appeared "out of thin air" before them, and he still did not know what that bird-like machine was.
Han Yue suddenly realized that he knew nothing about this alchemist. His name, age, where he came from, where he was going … He did not know anything about him.
"This is …" Han Yue was about to say something when he heard a shout, "Watch out!" Luo Shi's figure suddenly blurred before him.
Behind him came a scream of pain!
He quickly turned around and saw a person lying on the ground not far away. The attacker had a spear stuck in his chest. The strength of the spear was so great that it pierced through the attacker's heart and nailed him to the ground.
Luo Shi stood calmly in front of Han Yue. Only then did Han Yue understand what had happened. He looked at Luo Shiyi gratefully.
Ye Chong saw everything clearly, down to every detail. The sneak attacker suddenly threw a long spear at Han Yue. His original target was the old lady, but perhaps because the effects of the drug had not yet awakened, his strength was slightly off, and the spear flew towards Han Yue.
Luo Shi suddenly moved and appeared behind Han Yue, easily catching the spear. Ye Chong was taken aback by his explosiveness. Then, Luo Shi threw the spear in his hand, which hit the heart of the sneak attacker.
This series of changes happened in the blink of an eye.
The moment Luo Shi moved, Ye Chong's pupils shrank! However, he quickly regained his composure and his expression returned to normal. This slight change in his expression did not attract anyone's attention.
However, he felt like a bomb had just been dropped on him!
Luo Shi was strong, as could be seen from his reaction just now. His explosiveness was astonishing, and his control of his strength was precise. The guards around the old lady were all shocked, obviously wary of Luo Shi.
Ye Chong was not worried about that. Luo Shi was strong, but Ye Chong was not as shocked as Luo Shi was. What he noticed was something else.
Luo Shi was from the Ye Family!
Ye Chong could imagine how shocking this conclusion was to Luo Shi. Ye Chong had seen every detail of Luo Shi's movement. This was a typical Ye Family technique. Of the Three Aristocratic Families, the Xue Lai Clan specialized in machinery, while the Xi Feng Tribe specialized in secret arts. However, when it came to combat, the Ye Family was the best, and Ye Chong was most familiar with it.
Ye Chong had only learned the basics from Black Cove, but the strong Black Cove style, which was also the style of the Ye Family, had influenced him greatly. As his understanding of combat deepened, so did his understanding of the Ye Family's combat style. That was why he could tell at a glance. Luo Shi had tried his best to hide it, but how could it escape Ye Chong's eyes?
He should be called Ye Luo, or Ye something, not Luo Shi.
No wonder he felt a sense of familiarity. The Ye Family might be related to him in some way, but that was not what he was concerned about. Ye Chong studied Luo Shi closely, and found that they shared many similarities.
Luo Shi's physique was very similar to his own, well-proportioned but slightly skinny. Most people would not be able to imagine the incredible strength contained within such a physique. Ye Chong could not help but think of his time on the trash planet, where no matter how hard he trained, his muscles would not expand like normal people. He remembered that Mu had also been puzzled by this problem back then, and concluded that it was because of his unique constitution.
In fact, other than this, there were many other unique aspects of his constitution.
For example, the silver liquid's effect on him would gradually disappear. Silver liquid, Black Cove, the Ye Family. Ye Chong's mind was working very quickly. Many of his usual doubts were now surfacing in his mind.
Could this really be the unique constitution of the Ye Family? He remembered that the powerful masters of Transcendent Leaf had never been muscular men with burly physiques. Only those Grandmasters of Combat from the outer circle would be burly.
The Ye Family was here in the free space zone!
He quickly realized the meaning behind this. Even with his strong mind, he could not help but feel his heart racing. This meant that they must know how to get back to He Yue galaxy!
The Xi Feng Tribe and the Ye Family. Two of the Three Aristocratic Families were already in the free space zone. What about the Xue Lai Clan?
In the Xue Lai Clan Leader's office, a middle-aged woman stared at the holographic screen, lost in thought. She did not have any makeup on, but her skin was still fair. Her long, narrow eyes were filled with emotions. Her light red lips were pursed tightly, as if she was hesitating. This middle-aged woman was the current Leader of the Xue Lai Clan.
It was interesting that two of the Three Aristocratic Families' Leaders were women, and only the Ye Family's Leader was a man.
However, people would not look down on them just because they were women. The Xue Lai Clan and the Xi Feng Tribe were typical families with more females than males. The Ye Family was the opposite, with more boys than girls. This was a problem for every generation's Leader.
She was also having a headache. Too many things had been bothering her lately. All of a sudden, He Yue Galaxy and the Five Galaxies were in turmoil.
The Shi Family had been making big moves recently. They were expanding very quickly, and all the intelligence reports indicated that they seemed to have a very powerful ally. However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not find any information about this mysterious organization. This alerted the Three Aristocratic Families.
Another thing was that new models of mechs and weapons had appeared in the market. These mechs contained many of the Xue Lai Clan's unique technologies. This had caused some unrest in the Clan. Many people suspected that there was a traitor in the clan. However, the origin of these mechs and weapons could not be found, and this made her uneasy. This could lead to internal instability, and that was what worried her the most.
The Five Galaxies were also in trouble. Fortunately, the Xue Lai Clan was not the only one. This was a problem that all Three Aristocratic Families had to face. Of course, the Freedom Alliance was also involved.
It seemed that some force was encroaching on the Five Galaxies, and its source was that primordial planet. From what she had heard, the starships of the four families had not returned. They had sent many starships after that, but none of them had been heard from. It was like a clay ox disappearing into the ocean. It was like a black hole, devouring everything that entered it.
The scariest thing was that it was expanding. This brought great pressure to the Three Aristocratic Families and the Freedom Alliance. However, no one could do anything about it. The Xi Feng Tribe's forces in the Five Galaxies were at an all-time low.
It seemed that it was necessary to send some elites to scout, she thought to herself. The Five Galaxies were something the Three Aristocratic Families could not afford to give up. He Yue Galaxy was rich in resources, but limited. The Five Galaxies were much larger than the He Yue Galaxy, and there were more undeveloped areas. The Five Galaxies would be the focus of the Three Aristocratic Families in the future, as well as their future strategy.
Now, however, she had to face another problem.
That kid had gone to the free space zone!
She could not figure it out. He Yue Galaxy had only three well-hidden passages to the free space zone, and they were under the control of the Three Aristocratic Families.
Unlike the Xi Feng Tribe and the Ye Family, the Xue Lai Clan was a mechanical clan, and the free space zone was not important to them. Hence, while the Xue Lai Clan had their own forces in the free space zone, they were the weakest among the Three Aristocratic Families. Now that the kid had gone to the free space zone, she was worried about his safety.
He was her son, and she knew what he meant to the Xue Lai Clan! No matter how she looked at it, she would not allow anything to happen to him.
After some thought, she made up her mind. She connected the comms and called, "Brahmara!"
