"Lord Gakels, why hasn’t Lord Long Bai co out?"
"Lord Long Bai needs so quiet ti."
Gakels replied with a weary expression.
"Lord Gakels, has sothing happened?"
Su Ming and the others asked with concern.
"Nothing much, just get ready. City Lord Alicia and City Lord Farren will arrive at the Third Planet in two days; a full conference will be held then, and everyone must attend!"
Gakels briefly told Su Ming and the others.
"Alright!"
Upon hearing Gakels’ words, Su Ming had a rough idea that the secret talks between Long Bai and Gakels were very unsuccessful.
After giving his instructions, Gakels left, dragging his tired body.
Su Ming and Ferion stood quietly at the door.
In the blink of an eye, the next morning arrived, yet Long Bai had not erged from the office.
At this mont, Yun Rou brought breakfast over, smiling at Su Ming and the others.
"Gentlen, I’ve brought you breakfast!"
"Thank you."
Su Ming and the others accepted it.
"You eat slowly; I’ll take it to Lord Long Bai."
Yun Rou said softly.
"Alright, thank you for your trouble."
The three n replied courteously.
Yun Rou then carried the breakfast to the door, gently pushed it open, and went inside.
Not long after, Yun Rou ca out again.
Su Ming and the others continued waiting.
Ti ticked away, and soon it was noon.
This ti, Yun Rou brought lunch over, gently pushing open the office door and went inside.
Not long after, the office door opened again, and Yun Rou ca out with a tray, with all the dishes untouched.
Ferion and the others looked at Yun Rou with a serious expression and asked.
"How is it?"
Yun Rou did not answer, just shook her head and left with the tray.
Su Ming and the others glanced at each other, reluctantly continuing to wait.
As ti passed, night soon fell.
Yun Rou brought dinner over again, but this ti she did not deliver it directly but rather approached Su Ming and the others, saying with so worry.
"Gentlen, why don’t you deliver this ti?"
"Su Ming, maybe you should do it?"
Ferion hesitated and said.
"? Isn’t that inappropriate?"
Su Ming replied, slightly taken aback.
"It would be best if you deliver it, please."
Ferion implored Su Ming.
"Alright then!"
Su Ming then took the dinner, walked to the office door, gently pushed it open, and went inside.
Upon entering the office, he saw Long Bai sitting at the desk, propping her cheek with one hand, staring at a projected, illusory star map.
Long Bai silently stared at the star map, unmoving.
Su Ming gently placed the dinner by the table, softly speaking to Long Bai.
"Legion Commander, it’s ti to eat."
But there was no response from Long Bai, who simply continued gazing at the star map.
Seeing this, Su Ming sighed slightly and then exited the office.
Ferion and Jone saw Su Ming coming out and imdiately approached to ask.
"How did it go? Did the Legion Commander eat?"
"No, the Legion Commander seems very troubled."
Su Ming shook his head replied.
"Alas."
Ferion and Jone both sighed upon hearing Su Ming’s reply.
"I’m a bit puzzled, even though this matter is quite serious, it shouldn’t be like this, right?"
Su Ming wondered aloud.
"Su Ming, you don’t know, but in the year or so you’ve been missing, a lot has happened in the Federation. The Legion Commander hasn’t had peace of mind; all defense lines are in chaos, even the Wormhole Ti-Space Defense Line has been breached, and now there’s this issue again."
Ferion explained to Su Ming in a low voice.
"I see. Ferion, Jone, you both had a tiring journey back; why don’t you get so rest and leave this to ?"
"Alright, call us if anything happens, we’ll co and relieve you in the morning."
Ferion and Jone thought for a mont and then agreed.
"Okay."
Su Ming nodded.
Ferion and Jone then left together.
Su Ming stood alone against the wall beside the office door, then raised his wristband to open the contact list, found Su Mulong’s number, edited a ssage, and sent it.
"Grandpa, the situation is very unstable recently. I’m a bit worried about my parents’ safety over there. Please help enhance the security asures over there."
Soon, a ssage popped up.
"Don’t worry about Su Yuan. I’ll arrange for soone to take care of it."
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Su Ming replied and then closed the interface.
At this mont, he suddenly noticed the number of Irelia in the contact list, instantly stirred, he edited a ssage and sent it.
"Senior, I returned to Starlight City. I wonder if you have ti to have a al together."
After sending the ssage, Su Ming patiently waited.
Soon half an hour passed, and his wristband still hadn’t received a reply. Just as Su Ming was thinking it wouldn’t work.
Buzz~
A reply popped up on the wristband.
"Okay!"
"Eight o’clock, I’ll wait for you at Wutong Avenue in Area B1."
Upon seeing the ssage, Su Ming breathed a small sigh of relief, checked a nearby restaurant, and replied to Irelia.
Then Su Ming hurriedly left to avoid awkwardness later.
...
Wutong Avenue, Area B1, under the dim streetlights.
Su Ming stood quietly, occasionally glancing at his wristband. It was already 8 PM, but Long Bai was nowhere to be seen.
But Su Ming wasn’t in a hurry, patiently waiting.
Ti ticked away, and two hours quickly passed.
Su Ming checked his wristband; it was already 10 PM. He was puzzled; given her character, once she agreed, she wouldn’t be late, right?
