Chapter 2165 This is the first gift from your mother

The Lingxiu period, a time that has been intensively studied yet never truly understood, has been diligently explored in China, the United States, and the Sakura Kingdom. However, despite the significant resources and effort invested, the results have generally been minimal.

As high-ranking officials in the Kaijiang Army, Su Wei and Wu Yuan naturally had some understanding of the Lingxiu period, but their knowledge was also limited. However, at this moment, two people claiming to be descendants of humans from the Lingxiu era stood before them alive!

"you……"

Su Wei was so shocked that he could hardly speak. His mind was in a mess. Everything he experienced today was so shocking that he was a little overwhelmed.

“Some things are better left unsaid than delved into.”

Lu Ming seemed to be unconcerned about those historical secrets; his tone was calm and composed.

"Of course, if you want to know some historical secrets, I can tell you."

Lu Ming's voice came slowly, and his eyes were like two cold rays, falling directly on Su Wei and Wu Yuan, as if he wanted to peek through their eyes and see their true thoughts deep in their hearts.

At this moment, Wu Yuan could no longer suppress her strong curiosity, and she couldn't wait to ask.

"Why did humans abandon Blue Planet and resolutely embark on a journey into space thousands of years ago? Did something serious happen on Blue Planet?"

Wu Yuan's question was like a sharp sword, piercing the vital point. It not only cleverly linked it to what the two had said before about "saving the blue planet", but also made the question full of suspense and profound meaning.

Faced with such a tricky question, Lu Ming frowned slightly, but quickly regained his composure. He took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"'Abandon' isn't the right word. I can't tell you the specific reasons yet, as they involve a supreme being, and if I'm not careful, he might find out. However, I can tell you that we left Blue Planet not because we wanted to abandon it, but because if we continued to stay, it would bring greater danger to Blue Planet. Under these circumstances, we had no choice but to leave Blue Planet."

Hearing Wu Yuan's words, a hint of memory flashed across Lu Ming's eyes, and he was silent for a while.

"So, if you want us to join you, what exactly do you need us to do? Also, where did you come to Blue Star from?"

At the same time, Su Wei, standing nearby, also raised his own question. He turned his gaze to Ning Xiangtong, as if expecting her to give an answer. Ning Xiangtong felt Su Wei's gaze, shrugged helplessly, and then explained.

"We are from the Morning Star. I haven't been on Blue Star that long, but Lu Ming has been here for a very long time, so long that I wasn't even born yet."

Then, Ning Xiangtong continued.

"You've seen that rescue ship. Interstellar travel is no easy feat, requiring extremely high standards. Therefore, if we wish to freely navigate the vast universe, we must rely on external resources. That rescue ship was originally intended for our departure from Blue Planet should our plan succeed. However, not long ago, our connection with Venus suddenly ceased, leading us to suspect that something may be amiss within our family. Therefore, I must immediately activate the rescue ship and return to Venus to investigate."

However, at this moment, Ning Xiangtong's words were like a flash of lightning that broke through the calm surface of the lake, causing Wu Yuan and Su Wei to be astonished.

"But now, it seems there is a better candidate."

Ning Xiangtong's voice was not loud, but it seemed to carry an irresistible power, causing Wu Yuan and Su Wei's eyes to focus on her at the same time.

When their eyes met Ning Xiangtong's, they all felt a strange feeling in their hearts. Could it be that the "better candidates" she was referring to were the two of them?

Ning Xiangtong smiled slightly, a smile that revealed an elusive meaning. She spoke slowly.

"I need you to go to Qimingxing on my behalf to investigate what happened to the Ning family, why the communication was suddenly interrupted, and how to become a new bridge of communication between us and Qimingxing."

Hearing this, Wu Yuan and Su Wei's expressions grew serious. Morning Star! And to undertake such an important mission, were they really up to the task?

However, before they could speak, Ning Xiangtong continued.

"As compensation, I will grant you ample authority and freedom. You can fully appreciate the boundless beauty of the universe and explore areas you have never set foot in. Furthermore, when this project is over, I will have the elders of my family return you safely. It shouldn't take too long; a few years should be enough. Furthermore, I will also give you some compensation."

Ning Xiangtong's words revealed a kind of confidence and determination, as if she was full of faith in this plan. After hearing these conditions, Wu Yuan and Su Wei's concerns were slightly alleviated.

After all, having the opportunity to witness the wonders of the universe was undoubtedly a rare experience for them. Furthermore, Ning Xiangtong's promise to ensure their safety and send them back also made them feel a little more at ease.

Finally, under Ning Xiangtong's gaze, Wu Yuan and Su Wei exchanged a look, their eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and powerlessness. They knew very well that under the current circumstances, they didn't really have much choice.

Ning Xiangtong's words were like a hammer, hammering down on their hearts. "What you're doing is actually saving Blue Planet." These words were like a flash of lightning, piercing the fog in their hearts.

Blue Star, the planet they live on, is facing an unprecedented crisis. However, with the current strength of the Blue Star's human population, it is simply unable to resist the invasion of this disaster.

"Don't be so naive as to think that we are the only two 'aliens' on the blue planet."

Ning Xiangtong continued, with a heavy tone in her voice.

"To put it bluntly, Lu Ming has secretly fought countless battles against those enemies who attempted to invade Blue Star. If it weren't for him, Blue Star would probably have become a desolate land by now."

Wu Yuan and Su Wei's hearts tightened as they began to realize the severity of the situation. It turned out that the crisis on Blue Star was far more serious than they had imagined, and the pressure Ning Xiangtong and the others were bearing far exceeded their understanding.

"Don't think we are coercing you."

Ning Xiangtong's voice came again, this time with a little more earnestness.

"What you have done is more important, more urgent, and more valuable than you can imagine. When the truth is finally revealed, all of Blue Star will be grateful for your sacrifice."

Wu Yuan and Su Wei were silent, with mixed feelings in their hearts. On the one hand, they were shocked and unbelievable about what Ning Xiangtong said; on the other hand, they began to re-examine their own behavior and choices.

Lu Ming seemed to feel a little sorry for the two of them and sighed. It was indeed a bit cruel to let two Blue Star natives leave Blue Star suddenly without even knowing where their destination was.

While Ning Xiangtong's words might not have much impact on ordinary people, they were like a nuclear bomb to Wu Yuan and Su Wei, who were adventurous and had been instilled with the idea of ​​serving their country since childhood.

"Okay, let's go!"

A glint of determination flashed in Su Wei's eyes, and an indescribable sense of mission welled up within him. Fame and fortune weren't what he pursued; his true desire was to contribute to the stability of Blue Star and China. This was what Su Yan had taught him since childhood. For generations, the Su family had dedicated themselves to serving China and its people, a fundamental reason for their long-standing presence in China.

Su Wei's answer was decisive and unequivocal. However, Wu Yuan's reaction was completely different, with a hint of hesitation on her face.

If it were in the past, Wu Yuan would have agreed without hesitation. But now was different. She was a mother now, and she had an extra concern and worry for Su Ziwu.

As a mother, she couldn't easily accept such an ending. After all, it meant she would be separated from her child, and if something unexpected happened, it would probably be a farewell forever.

However, Lu Ming didn't seem to give Wu Yuan much time to think. He continued.

"I can allow you to meet your family and say your final goodbyes. However, your every move will be under my close surveillance, and you are absolutely not allowed to mention anything between us. As for the specific words, you can consider them carefully. After daybreak, you can set off."

Lu Ming's voice was cold and serious, revealing an unquestionable majesty.

Before he finished speaking, his eyes, sharp as a hawk, swept over everyone in the room, finally landing on Ning Xiangtong. He narrowed his eyes slightly and winked at Ning Xiangtong.

Ning Xiangtong understood, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. Then, she and Lu Ming turned and slowly walked out of the room, leaving the others in shock.

When they arrived in the living room, Lu Ming felt a surge of doubt. He stopped and turned to look at Ning Xiangtong, as if trying to find some clues from her expression.

"Isn't it a bit risky to let two outsiders do this?"

Lu Ming frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in his voice.

"After all, they don't have much to do with us. If anything goes wrong, the consequences could be disastrous."

Ning Xiangtong stood quietly by the side, her eyes calm and deep, making it difficult to read. After a while, she slowly spoke.

"I've considered this, but right now, this is the best option. They may be outsiders, but as long as we make the right arrangements, there shouldn't be any major problems. Furthermore, they have enough motivation to accomplish this."

After listening to Ning Xiangtong's explanation, Lu Ming's doubts were not completely dispelled. He was silent for a moment, then spoke.

"If it really doesn't work, I'd better go back. That way I can supervise it myself and make sure everything goes well."

"No, if you leave, the Zerg and Demon tribes will probably jump to the sky. Besides, they are not outsiders. In fact, I have met them once. The man's father is Su Yan, the dean of the Huaguo Beast Taming Academy, an emperor-level beastmaster, and he is familiar with my father-in-law."

"If it's them, there shouldn't be any problem. They're smart and have leadership experience. But I heard they just had a daughter... It's a bit... sigh..."

Ning Xiangtong couldn't help but sigh deeply at this point, as if all the worries in her heart were released with this sigh. After all, she had just become a mother, so she was naturally very sensitive to her children's affairs. So when she heard about other children encountering difficulties, she couldn't help but feel some empathy.

"There's really nothing we can do about it."

Ning Xiangtong shook her head helplessly.

"It can only be said that they were unlucky to have to come back at that time."

Seeing that Ning Xiangtong was not in a good mood, Lu Ming quickly changed the subject and asked.

"By the way, how's Xing doing lately?"

Ning Xiangtong's spirits immediately brightened at the mention of Xing, and her initially depressed mood instantly vanished. She replied enthusiastically, "I'm fine. After a few bouts of agitation, I seem to be tired and am still dormant."

"That's good," Lu Ming nodded. "You've really been badly tricked by Luo Chen this time. Stars are like a hot potato. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have had to run to Blue Star to hide."

Speaking of this, Lu Ming sighed. Stars are good things, but you have to bear the pressure that comes with owning them.

"Ah."

Ning Xiangtong hummed and nodded, a hint of worry flashed in her eyes, but she didn't say it out loud.

She still hid something, but she didn't say it.

Although Xing calmed down briefly after the restlessness, as Xing's host, Ning Xiangtong knew clearly that Xing was not tired of making trouble, but was just tired.

The reason for being tired seemed to be that the fragment of her star was a little different. It seemed to be splitting, and just a few days ago, the split was successful, and the split star actually ran onto the child in her belly.

Ning Xiangtong couldn't tell whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, but her intuition told her that it was a good thing.

Ning Xiangtong even felt that his star had lost most of its power after splitting, and that power had all gone to the split body.

"This is the first gift your mother gave you... I hope you like it."

Ning Xiangtong thought to herself and subconsciously touched her belly.
