Mo Li knew this point, so even though she felt a bit conflicted inside, she still cooperated with Ye Yunxiu to complete his plan.
Seeing the look of apprehension and anticipation on the other’s face, the Counting King couldn’t help but be startled.
As soone experienced, he quickly reacted and laughed, saying:
"Mo Li, could it be that you’ve also taken a liking to that kid?"
The woman’s face flushed slightly red, and she whispered:
"I haven’t, Uncle Ye, don’t talk nonsense!"
"Hehe, little girl, I can see through your thoughts. But that kid doesn’t seem too bad. Although he’s an astronaut, he’s also a dical specialist, and he looks gentle and scholarly, quite a good match for you."
"I haven’t..."
"You don’t need to worry; even though we used him this ti, we didn’t really trick him. Just went along with the situation. Even if he finds out in the future, he wouldn’t bla you for anything."
"Uncle Ye, I really haven’t..."
"Alright, in a couple of days, when this nightti period ends, you can return to Water Blue Star. By then, you both will have plenty of ti to chat in the community, so don’t keep thinking about him now."
"..."
Watching the woman’s departing figure, Ye Yunxiu glanced behind him and said:
"Changqing, co out, how long do you plan to sit there?"
As his voice fell, on a previously empty chair, a figure gradually appeared.
This person was the Star Alliance’s Inspector, Su Changqing.
"Hehe, Uncle Ye, it seems I still can’t hide from your eyes."
As he spoke, he walked forward and poured himself a cup of tea.
"The Inspector himself ca in person. Why, you don’t trust your Uncle Ye’s ability?"
"How could that be? Uncle Ye, you’ve taught a lot. How could I not trust you?"
Su Changqing waved his hand and said:
"I’ve just not been to the Moon Base for a while. I ca to check on the situation here and to see you."
"Hahaha, you kid, you’re not good at lying. You need to learn more from your dad; Mr. Su is quite the expert."
Su Changqing smiled and said nothing more.
He took a careful sip from the teacup, savoring the sweetness of the tea as it perated his lungs and ward his stomach, before setting down the cup and saying:
"Uncle Ye, I know about your plan this ti, but there’s sothing I want to ask you about..."
His speech was slow, as if tinged with so hesitation.
Ye Yunxiu watched him with a half-smile, as if he already knew what the other was about to say.
"Uncle Ye, you actually knew about the New Apollo, right? With Dawn’s scanning capabilities, it’s impossible for an external craft to land on the dark side of the Moon without being detected..."
"So, you pretended not to know and waited until they were attacked by Desert Worms before sending Sol to the rescue, right...?"
"It seems, your inspection of the Moon is a guise, and you’re really here to hold accountable, huh."
Ye Yunxiu answered without addressing the question directly.
Su Changqing shook his head.
"Uncle Ye, what are you talking about? I’m just asking, after all, you didn’t kill those people, and you didn’t do anything wrong."
"Haha, this is indeed true..."
Ye Yunxiu looked at the teacup in front of him, his eyes becoming unusually firm.
"However, if they don’t suffer a bit, how can we make them obediently sign the sharing plan? Sotis, sacrifices are unavoidable. For humanity, their deaths are valuable."
Su Changqing stared at him for a long ti, and Ye Yunxiu looked back at him calmly, making the atmosphere heavy.
Finally, after a long ti, Su Changqing sighed and looked away.
"Ah, Uncle Ye, you’re not wrong in doing this, but... next ti such a situation arises, it’s best to inform in advance..."
He knew that the other had abandoned those people for the greater good.
In the face of true trends, individual sacrifices are worthwhile.
This is sothing Su Changqing understands.
Besides, even in the worst-case scenario, those deaths can’t be blad on Ye Yunxiu.
No one forced them to co to the Moon; they chose to co themselves, and they have to bear any dangers encountered.
At most, Ye Yunxiu could be said to have stood by, but their deaths can’t be blad on him.
However, by doing so, all this contradicted the principles Su Changqing previously adhered to, making him feel very conflicted.
"Changqing, I know how you think, and you’re not overflowing with sympathy; I can see that."
"You just want to do everything as perfectly as possible, to the degree of perfection, without any flaws."
Beside him, Ye Yunxiu spoke with a serious expression:
"Whether it’s the astronauts killed by Desert Worms or the Alien Species information-sharing plan, you want to handle them perfectly, but that’s clearly unrealistic. Within the bounds of Star Alliance’s principles, you need to make choices..."
"Especially as the Star Alliance’s Inspector, you need to learn this as soon as possible. Unless, like the Star Lord, you have absolute power to easily clear all obstacles, then you can pursue your perfection..."
Ye Yunxiu patted him on the shoulder.
"Changqing, you have a long way to go. The Star Lord has entrusted you with such an important position, and your future is limitless. So things you need to adapt to early and make changes."
Su Changqing fell into silence.
This Inspector of the Star Alliance, the second in command handling the entire Star Alliance’s affairs, at this mont was like a student awakened by a teacher’s word, beginning to reflect on his actions.
Ye Yunxiu did not disturb him, and the room was particularly quiet.
After a long while, Su Changqing finally raised his head, looked gratefully at the middle-aged man, and bowed deeply, saying:
"Thank you, Uncle Ye. Changqing has learned."
"Haha, no need for thanks; as the Star Alliance’s Inspector, you still need to maintain so mystery; it’s not good for others to see too much..."
"Alright, hurry up and go, handle your tasks. I’ll take care of things here, so don’t worry about it."
Su Changqing nodded, and said nothing more.
Just as he was about to leave, Ye Yunxiu suddenly called out to him.
"By the way, Changqing! Don’t ntion this to Mo Li, that girl; you know how she is, if she finds out what I did, she’ll end up rolling her eyes at again..."
Su Changqing smiled and then took a step forward, his figure disappearing into the teleportation technique’s array.
...
Water Blue Star, New York City’s outskirts, Hurricane Bureau branch.
Lune was sitting in his office, deeply troubled.
In front of him was a pile of unfavorable information sent back by agents.
This information wasn’t about abnormal events but ca from capitalists and politicians opposing the New Apollo plan and Alien Species information-sharing sche.
Since the last lunar mission failure, he imdiately sent a rescue request to the Abnormality Departnt, asking them to contact the Star Alliance to rescue the New Apollo Team’s survivors.
Though the Abnormality Departnt agreed to his request, whether the Star Alliance would undertake it and succeed, he didn’t know.
Now, half a month had passed, and Lune knew those people probably weren’t coming back.
This matter had deeply affected him.
As he expected, so have begun eyeing his position as director, using certain ans to force him out.
Lune knew that once he stepped down, the new director replacing him would likely be a pawn for those self-serving individuals.
By then, Arica’s connection to the Alien Species information-sharing plan would be lost.
This was sothing he genuinely didn’t want to see.
But alas, he couldn’t hold on much longer now.
Even within the Hurricane Bureau, so agents have started choosing sides, openly aligning with the new director.
"Ah..."
With a long sigh, Lune had never felt as exhausted as he did now.
Compared to dealing with these intrigues, he would rather face the Alien Species in direct combat.
