Huo Yushen put on an indifferent expression again and said coldly, "Of course, if you just want your apprentice to die, then I didn't say anything. I can still create a few opportunities without anyone knowing, to kill her…"
Huo Yushen's provocation made Su Buyan jump up.
He said loudly, "Pui pui pui! I would kill you before I would kill her! I will definitely not say it! Do you think I don't know these things?! If I wanted her dead, why would I change her from an assistant to an apprentice?! Do you know that, 'Once a teacher, a father for life!' I have a fatherly responsibility towards her!"
Once a teacher, a father for life?
Huo Yushen's mouth twitched: "…Buyan, how old are you this year?"
"…Twenty-five, no, I've already turned twenty-six, what's wrong?" Su Buyan was still indignant, not understanding how Huo Yushen's topic jumped to age.
Huo Yushen said calmly, "Xia Chujian is eighteen years old. You are only twenty-six years old, and you want to be her father?"
"So what!" Su Buyan didn't think it was a big deal. "There are grandfathers in strollers and grandsons with crutches! Besides, I am eight years older than her, which is enough to be her elder, right?"
Huo Yushen: "…Whatever makes you happy. Then remember, don't just talk nonsense casually. If others know even a little bit about your new Mecha, your apprentice will probably die without a burial place."
Su Buyan said angrily: "Pui pui pui! Stop cursing her! Even if you and I die, she will not die!"
Seeing him so excited, Huo Yushen was a little strange: "Buyan, you and Xia Chujian are not that familiar, right? Looking at you, you care more about her than your own child!"
Su Buyan sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, I don't want to get married and have children in my life. I will rely on this only apprentice to take care of me in my old age. Tell me, how can I not love her?"
Huo Yushen: "…You don't want to get married and have children, do your parents and younger sister know?"
The Su Family originally had few descendants, and it was often a direct line of inheritance.
However, the previous generation gave birth to twins, a son who is now the High Priest Su Yanxing, and a daughter Su Shuangluo, who married into the Zong Family and is the wife of Zong Weiping, the eldest son of the Zong Family.
This generation also gave birth to twins.
The son is Mecha master Su Buyan, and the daughter is Su Buyu, whose identity was once borrowed by Xia Chujian.
In other words, either Su Buyu is willing to stay at home and find a husband, or the Su Family will not allow Su Buyan to not have children.
Su Buyan's eyes flickered: "I am already an adult, do I need them to know?"
Huo Yushen blurted out a sentence as if possessed: "If you don't get married and have children, then where will you get your great-great-great-grandchildren?"
Su Buyan laughed and said: "Who said you have to get married and have children to have great-great-great-grandchildren?! My apprentice's children can be my descendants! When the time comes, I will let one of her sons take my surname, then the descendants of this child will be my great-great-great-grandchildren?!"
"So Marshal Huo, there are always more solutions than problems, and I am not the kind of person who values bloodlines." Su Buyan stared at the Fire-Red Phoenix Statue in Huo Yushen's hand and said excitedly, "I am a man who wants to marry scientific research!"
Huo Yushen suddenly felt that he was being superfluous. He stopped talking nonsense and said, "Alright, I will have someone send this thing to you."
"In addition, I need a few humanoid simulation robots here, which need to be equipped with espionage operation modules. Can you rush them out for me immediately?"
Su Buyan nodded: "As long as there is special permission, I will upload the program module for you immediately."
"You hand it over to Kang Shanxing."
After the video call between the two ended, Huo Yushen specially found Audit and Discipline Department Director Jiang Yuanshu and asked her to personally send the sealed Fire-Red Phoenix Statue to Su Buyan's key laboratory at Beichen Star Royal Mecha.
There are the most stringent security measures there.
In order to avoid complications, it is most appropriate to have Jiang Yuanshu send it.
Because her security level is already very high.
After Jiang Yuanshu left, Huo Yushen concentrated again and began to consider strategies to deal with the changes in the East Tianyuan City-State.
Not only Meng Guanghui, but also almost all the field personnel of their Beichen Empire's Special Security Bureau seem to be trapped there.
The history of the Special Security Bureau is very long in the Beichen Empire.
And in the long history of the Special Security Bureau, there has never been such a big mistake.
He cannot let this happen during his tenure as head of the Special Security Bureau.
...
At this time, it was Friday night in the suburbs of Changliu County on Cangge Star.
Since Xia Chujian saw the term "Star Gazers" on Hot Search, she became very interested and searched everywhere online.
Unfortunately, she found nothing.
They had to wait until dusk when Quan Yuxun and Quan Caiwei came to pick them up for dinner and opera at Linfeng Club, then Xia Chujian found an opportunity to ask Quan Yuxun.
"Chief Quan Da, do you know anything about the Star Gazers?"
Quan Yuxun didn't hide anything, saying, "I don't know much about the Star Gazers organization. I only know they are one of the most mysterious and oldest organizations in the Beichen Empire's Special Security Bureau history."
"It is said that they have been dormant for thousands of years without any news. The most recent time was this time. For specific details, you can ask someone else."
He was actually hinting for Xia Chujian to ask Huo Yushen for clarification.
Xia Chujian nodded.
With her three roommates present, Quan Yuxun was still considerate and didn't directly mention the Special Security Bureau.
Xia Chujian then asked, "I'm just a little curious and want to know a general idea. If it involves the Special Security Bureau's secrets, it's better for me not to know."
Despite saying that, Xia Chujian still had many questions: "Chief Quan Da, they are called Star Gazers, and they can know the situation in the Asteroid Belt, so are they scientists who observe the stars?"
Quan Yuxun shook his head: "No, they are not scientists. Their existence mainly relies on talent and inheritance. It is said that they can observe the movements in the depths of the universe on their own, not like scientists who mainly rely on instruments."
Xia Chujian clicked her tongue in admiration: "They can observe the energy bursts in the Asteroid Belt with their naked eyes? That's so amazing!"
Quan Yuxun said seriously: "Not with the naked eye, but with this..."
He pointed to his brain, his expression very serious and solemn as he spoke.
Xia Chujian blinked, suddenly remembering what Meng Guanghui had once told her, that some things shouldn't even be thought about, because they could be detected...
These Star Gazers, they use their minds, their Mental Strength, to travel the universe? Wow, that's so cool! Xia Chujian couldn't help but reveal an envious expression.
Unfortunately, her Gene couldn't evolve, and she could never have such magnificent Mental Strength in this lifetime.
Quan Yuxun winked at her and said, "I'm also very envious, I don't have Mental Strength either."
Xia Chujian: "..."
This Quan Yuxun is really shrewd, he could see through what she was thinking at a glance.
...
They talked and chatted along the way, and after half an hour, they arrived at Linfeng Club on the most prosperous commercial street in Changliu County.
The Quan Family's Flying Vehicle was parked on the rooftop helipad of the club.
The group got out of the Flying Vehicle, walked down the stairs from the rooftop, and arrived at the most spacious and lively top-floor restaurant.
This top-floor restaurant was in a theater format.
The entire east wall was a stage, with huge curtains and various mechanical equipment used as props.
The west, North Side, and south sides were connected to form a concave-shaped viewing platform, with tables and booths of various sizes.
The audience could enjoy food and wine while watching the opera across the way.
Xia Chujian, with her three roommates, followed Quan Yuxun and Quan Caiwei through an exclusive passage into a private room.
From beginning to end, they did not meet any other customers in the club.
The private room they entered was the one in the very center of the three private rooms facing the stage, also the one with the best view.
Moreover, only this central private room had a roof, side walls, and a one-way screen in front.
This ensured that they could see the outside from inside the private room, but the outside could not see anything inside the private room.
Xia Chujian and her three roommates sat down, curiously looking at the male and female noble guests outside in formal evening gowns, and the elegant or precious jewelry.
This place was indeed frequented by the rich and powerful, as could be seen from their attire.
No wonder people generally said that going to the opera was a social activity exclusive to the Nobles.
Chu Qingjuan said softly: "...It seems that the Nobles in our fleet and base are holding back, they don't usually dress up like this..."
Xia Chujian smiled and said, "Of course, that's the military, it's against the rules for them to dress like this."
Mao Yonggui smiled: "...It's only by following Chujian to broaden our horizons that we can know how noble the Nobles really are..."
Xia Chujian thought to herself, these three roommates probably haven't even read many Star Network novels.
Those Star Network novels about Nobles, high officials, and domineering CEOs, although most of them are YY by small authors, there are still a very few that have some substance.
Most likely, they have real connections with the noble class, or they are nobles themselves, writing under a pseudonym.
Xia Chujian didn't know before, but now she understands.
Those were the "gems" she unearthed after reading web novels three hundred times a day, sifting through the sand.
Xia Chujian quietly said, "When we get back, I'll recommend a few Star Network web novels that will broaden your horizons..."
The three roommates nodded repeatedly to express their gratitude.
At the round dining table, Quan Yuxun, sitting between Xia Chujian and Quan Caiwei, said to Xia Chujian's three roommates, "It's inconvenient for me to show my face here, so I chose this private room. I hope you don't mind."
Mao Yonggui quickly said, "It's nothing, Chief Quan Da really can't show his face easily. With so many people here, if they knew Chief Quan Da was here, they would definitely break their heads trying to squeeze in and talk to you."
Quan Yuxun smiled and said, "Second Lieutenant Mao is too kind. It's just that I'm on vacation and don't want to talk about work for the time being, so I'm taking advantage of you Second Lieutenants to be lazy. - The menu is here, feel free to order."
He raised his hand slightly, and several waiters walked in respectfully, not daring to raise their heads, and placed a menu in front of each person.
This is the second update, Moon Ticket for June 1800+. The third update will be at 1 p.m.
