Chapter 2137 Star Transfer

Seeing that Ning Xiangtong looked as if she didn't want to discuss this matter anymore, Lu Ming felt a little confused, but he didn't say anything more. His gaze slowly moved away from Ning Xiangtong and fell on Wu Yuan who was standing beside her.

Lu Ming stared at Wu Yuan, his eyes revealing an indescribable complexity. He just looked at Wu Yuan quietly, as if trying to see through her appearance to her innermost thoughts.

After a moment of silence, Lu Ming finally spoke.

"I just got the latest news. Leon went to Blue Star and just came back."

His voice was low and steady, revealing a reassuring strength.

When Wu Yuan heard this, her body trembled slightly. Her eyes immediately focused on Lu Ming, and a hint of nervousness flashed in her eyes.

Lu Ming noticed Wu Yuan's reaction. He paused for a moment and then continued.

"As far as I know, he met your daughter and some of Ye Ye's friends on Blue Star there. However, don't worry, his target this time is Ye Ye, and he poses no threat to your daughter. In other words, your identity has not been exposed."

Lu Ming's words were like a bright ray of light, piercing the haze in Wu Yuan's heart. She had been worried for days, fearing her true identity would be exposed. Now, Lu Ming assured her that her identity had not been revealed, and a huge weight of relief finally fell from her heart.

Wu Yuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and a relieved expression appeared on her face.

However, just as Wu Yuan was about to respond to Lu Ming, Ning Xiangtong suddenly interrupted.

"Wu Yuan, please go down first. I need to talk to Uncle Lu alone about something."

Wu Yuan was stunned when she heard this, but then she realized that Ning Xiangtong might have something important to discuss with Lu Ming, so she shrugged tactfully and spoke softly.

"Okay, I'll go out first."

After saying that, she turned and left the room, leaving Lu Ming and Ning Xiangtong alone in the room.

At this time, Wu Yuan left directly, leaving only Lu Ming and Ning Xiangtong in the room.

"I'm afraid it's hard to cover up the matter. Ye Ye's performance is too eye-catching. You shouldn't have given the star fragments..."

There was a hint of complaint in Lu Ming's words, but Ning Xiangtong just waved her hand helplessly, signaling him not to continue.

"It told me that Blue Star is the weakest point in the barrier between the two universes. In that case, I have no choice but to go to Blue Star."

Ning Xiangtong's tone seemed a little heavy, as if she was carrying a huge pressure.

"You should also be aware that the fragments I possess are different from those of others. If they were to obtain them, Morning Star, the entire Hope Galaxy, and even the entire universe would face catastrophic destruction."

Ning Xiangtong's words revealed a sense of determination, as if she had already prepared for the worst.

"As for Ye Ye... we can only take it one step at a time. The magic of the star is self-evident, and the star on Ye Ye's body is not an ordinary fragment, but a brand new, complete entity. It is something that even the star must do its utmost to protect."

Ning Xiangtong's voice became increasingly serious, making people feel worried about the situation she described.

Lu Ming didn't raise any objection to what Ning Xiangtong said. He just sat there quietly, looking at Ning Xiangtong silently, and then nodded slightly, as if to show that he understood and accepted Ning Xiangtong's decision.

As Ning Xiangtong had said, the system in Ye Ye's body was actually gifted by her. However, the method of this gift was very special. It was not carried out through conventional means, but through the process of human life. This can be said to be an unprecedented attempt, and it is also the first case of the transfer of star fragments.

Once a fragment of the star has identified a person, no matter what method is used, it cannot be separated from that person. This point was already agreed upon by Li Tiandao and X, the leader of the Labyrinth Traveler Organization. They never thought that the fragment of the star would be transferred, but always believed that there was a fourth fragment of the star, and it happened to be chosen by Ye Ye.

"No matter what, hiding it from Ye Ye is never a good thing."

Lu Ming suddenly spoke, his voice a little low.

"We should find a suitable opportunity to let him know his true identity. After all, he's too close to the Li family, the Tian family, and Cui Yingying, which isn't a favorable situation for our plan."

"To be honest, they are completely unrelated..."

Lu Ming said this with a look of disbelief, as if he had witnessed something extremely absurd. He paused, then continued.

"In terms of seniority, Cui Yingying and the others are older than you. This is truly outrageous!"

Having said that, Lu Ming himself found it a little funny and couldn't help laughing out loud, but he soon restrained his smile and the expression on his face became a little weird.

Ning Xiangtong looked at Lu Ming, her lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile. She said softly.

"You're being a bit heartless, aren't you, Uncle Lu? Aren't you also from the Li family?"

This sentence made Lu Ming's face change slightly. He obviously did not expect Ning Xiangtong to ask such a question.

However, Lu Ming's answer came quickly and firmly.

"People with different ideals cannot work together. The old man's conciliatory policy is undoubtedly courting disaster. Just wait and see, I will definitely prove that I am right. Besides, I have already left the Li family and changed my name to Lu, so don't mention the Li family anymore."

After saying this, a barely perceptible gleam flashed in Ning Xiangtong's eyes, which was a manifestation of confidence and determination.

Ning Xiangtong stared at Lu Ming in silence for a moment. She seemed to be thinking about something, then spoke slowly.

"Well, since you've made your decision, I have nothing to say. However, I still want to remind you that this road won't be easy, so you have to be mentally prepared."

Ning Xiangtong naturally had nothing to say about this. She silently poured a cup of tea and pushed it towards Lu Ming.

However, just as their conversation was about to conclude, Ye Ye abruptly ended it. This sudden change of heart instantly made Ye Ye, who had been so excited about his meal, lose interest in continuing. He hurriedly ordered some staple food and devoured it quickly, not even having time to savor the flavors.

Seeing this, Lu Yue, who was with Ye Ye, also hurriedly quickened his eating pace. After finishing their somewhat hasty lunch in a flash, the two of them hurried back to the dormitory.

However, just as they reached the door of the small villa, an unexpected figure suddenly broke into their sight. Ye Ye looked closely and couldn't help but let out a puzzled "Huh?"

Ning Dan was walking downstairs. Her appearance surprised Ye Ye and Lu Yue. Ye Ye couldn't help but wonder: Why is she here?

Ning Dan seemed to have not expected to meet Ye Ye and Lu Yue at this time. Her face suddenly became a little unnatural, and her steps seemed a little hurried. She didn't even say hello to Ye Ye and Lu Yue, and hurriedly passed by them, as if she had no interest in communicating with them.

However, Ye Ye noticed something strange in Ning Dan's slightly flustered steps. He thought to himself: Is this little girl secretly planning something again?

"Brother Ye?"

Lu Yue looked at Ye Ye, who was frowning and seemed to be thinking about something. He couldn't help but feel puzzled and couldn't help shouting out loud.

Ye Ye heard Lu Yue's cry, came back to his senses, shook his head and said.

"Oh, nothing, let's go up first."

The two of them walked up to the second floor together, and Ye Ye's eyes were suddenly attracted by several faint footprints in front of Li Qifeng's door. He squatted down and observed these footprints carefully. Judging from the prints on the soles and the size, these were obviously left by a pair of women's shoes.

Ye Ye's brows furrowed even tighter, and he thought to himself.

"These footprints must have been left by Ning Dan. Why did she come to see Li Qifeng just now? Aren't these two always at odds?"

Thinking of this, Ye Ye felt a surge of doubt in his heart, and he instinctively became alert to the situation. Not only him, but Lu Yue beside him also noticed these anomalies. Just as he was about to say something, he was stopped by Ye Ye's eyes.

"Let's talk about it back at the house."

Ye Ye whispered, then stood up and continued walking towards his room.

Seeing this, Lu Yue nodded quickly and followed Ye Ye into the house. As soon as he entered the house, Lu Yue could no longer suppress his curiosity and asked Ye Ye impatiently.

"There's definitely something fishy going on with these two. Could it be that Ning Dan doesn't dare to target you directly, so she came to Li Qifeng for reinforcements?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Ye Ye frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

Seeing this, Lu Yue quickly interrupted.

"Why don't you and Li..."

However, before he could finish his words, Ye Ye interrupted him rudely.

"Stop! There's no point in asking Li Lingzhi for such a small matter. I don't even take those two juniors seriously."

Ye Ye looked nonchalant, seemingly unconcerned with this so-called "little matter." However, from his words, it was clear that he was not friendly towards the two juniors.

It was obvious that the two had come together for the freshman assessment. Although they seemed to have some issues with each other, they had formed a certain cooperative front when faced with a common goal.

In the past, Ye Ye might have felt a bit troubled by this situation. After all, he had just arrived and was unfamiliar with the place. If he was inexplicably targeted, he would probably have a hard time getting first place, and even passing the assessment normally would become a big problem.

But now, Ye Ye's mentality was completely different. The reason was simple: the Ning family had just given him a cruiser! With such a strong backing, he naturally no longer worried about being targeted like before.

Putting aside other aspects, just looking at the various ships the students were operating, the small shuttles were only about thirty or forty meters in diameter, the large shuttles were only about a hundred meters in diameter, and the modified ultra-small frigates, while having excellent performance and weapon systems, still pale in comparison to Lu Yue's frigate.

Lu Yue's frigate was so large that it could easily be incorporated into the fleet. Among all the students' ships, it was simply invincible. However, when Ye Ye brought over the massive cruiser, the suspense of the freshman assessment was completely eliminated.

It's no exaggeration to say that once the cruiser's protective system is fully deployed, its defensive power will reach an astonishing level! This is not just ordinary protection, but an extremely powerful defense mechanism. Even if it is left in place, motionless, and allowed to be bombarded continuously by Ning Dan and Li Qifeng's starships at full power for a whole day, it is likely that it will be difficult to penetrate its protective shield!

A starship of this level is far beyond the reach of any individual. It requires immense resources, advanced technology, and a strong industrial base to manufacture, let alone maintain and operate. Only large organizations or powerful races can possess such a starship.

The Li family, despite their considerable financial resources, would never entrust such a high-level starship to Li Qifeng. After all, it was an extremely valuable weapon, typically used only in important missions or battles. Using it solely for a freshman assessment seemed like a waste of talent.

Similarly, the Ning family was unlikely to deploy such a starship for a freshman assessment. After all, it would be a huge investment of resources for them, and there were also certain risks involved.

But Ye Ye has it, which is very annoying.

However, Ye Ye was completely unaware of this, and he had no idea that the conflict between Li Qifeng and her had escalated to a new level under Ning Dan's instigation. Although Li Qifeng had only had a few arguments with Ye Ye and Lu Yue before, now, under Ning Dan's instigation, the two of them planned to exploit a loophole in the freshman assessment to fundamentally resolve the problem.

After returning to the house, Ye Ye was extremely anxious. He couldn't wait to discuss the Ning family's true intentions with the system. After all, when it comes to important resources like star and starships, this is no small matter. Although the 100,000 star coins seemed normal, it was insignificant compared to the other two items.

"Tongzi, what do you think?"

Ye Ye asked anxiously.

The system responded quickly.

"Tsk! What do I think? Of course we should take it! We have a big appetite. A resource planet that can bring in a steady stream of income, plus a cruiser, this is a huge fortune! Even if there may be some hidden dangers, we absolutely cannot miss this opportunity."

"Damn! To be frank, the wealth of some small races today might not even be comparable to yours."

The system added.
