Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: Interstellar Young Lady (Part 11)

Li Shuning and Yun Zimo didn't rush to interrogate but continued chatting and using their spiritual power to hypnotize Li Junming.

After another half an hour, Yun Zimo suddenly looked into Li Junming's eyes, then asked, "Is Li Shuning the Marshal's biological daughter?"

By this time, Li Junming's gaze was already dull and vacant, yet the veins on his forehead were bulging, as if he was still struggling.

But with Yun Zimo and Li Shuning working together, how could he possibly break free?

Five minutes later, Li Junming hollowly said, "The young lady is not the Marshal's daughter."

Li Shuning's head buzzed, feeling a bit dizzy; what exactly was going on?

Why does this mission feel more and more surreal?

Yun Zimo glanced at Li Shuning, also feeling a bit anxious for her. This young girl must be confused? She had already told him that her energy points were insufficient, unaware of the situation of this mission, making completion incredibly difficult.

"What about Li Shuning's mother?"

Under Li Junming's narration, the three present were all somewhat stunned. The Alliance's Marshal, a hero who often battled the Insect Clan to protect all humans in the Alliance, would actually do such a thing.

It turned out that back then, Li Shuning's mother, Yun Lanxin, ran away with her and met Li Bingyi. In the eyes of outsiders, Li Bingyi was very loyal, and Yun Lanxin, not knowing where else to go, stayed with Li Bingyi. At that time, Li Bingyi was fiercely fighting the Insect Clan, and Yun Lanxin also wanted to do something for the Alliance.

After learning that Yun Lanxin was a high-rank Spiritual Power Cultivator, Li Bingyi treated her even better, taking care of her in every possible way. Unfortunately, Yun Lanxin had a child and in her heart, there was someone very important, so she only regarded Li Bingyi as a good brother.

Knowing he had no chance, Li Bingyi stopped entangling but still treated Yun Lanxin well.

After all, Yun Lanxin was the eldest lady of the Yun Family, well protected and unaware of the dangers of the outside world.

During a major battle with the Insect Clan, Yun Lanxin, to save Li Bingyi, confronted the Insect Queen, which was very dangerous. Ultimately, she exhausted her spiritual power to defeat the Insect Queen.

After being brought back, Yun Lanxin was controlled by Li Bingyi.

Li Bingyi put a restriction helmet on Yun Lanxin to control her spiritual power and even imprisoned her.

At that time, Li Bingyi was only a Tenth Rank expert, and if he had confronted Yun Lanxin head-on, he would have been no match for her.

It was just that Yun Lanxin was at her weakest when Li Bingyi controlled her, and she had no power to resist.

Li Bingyi, through unknown means, learned from a Spiritual Ability User how to advance to a Super Rank.

Li Bingyi wanted Yun Lanxin to willingly become his supply point, even using Li Shuning as leverage.

But Yun Lanxin was no fool; she naturally knew that if she died, Li Shuning would also be in grave danger.

In the end, Yun Lanxin compromised and made Li Bingyi promise to raise Li Shuning as if she were his own daughter, ensuring she never lacked anything. Additionally, she left a spiritual mark on Li Bingyi. If he did not raise Li Shuning as agreed, that spiritual power would erupt.

Li Bingyi agreed for the sake of power. Over the years, he was ruthless to climb the ranks and achieve power, and reaching the Tenth Rank had already been difficult. Raising a child was of little consequence.

Afterward, Yun Lanxin used her spiritual power to help Li Bingyi, tempering his body and enhancing his spiritual power. Eventually, Li Bingyi somehow obtained an Insect Queen's eye, which directly consumed Yun Lanxin's consciousness, leading to her death. He then used special means to consume the eye.

Through this technique, he became a Super Rank powerhouse, achieving the status he desired. However, upon becoming a Super Rank powerhouse, he realized the spiritual mark was indeed effective. If triggered, the spiritual energy belonging to Yun Lanxin within him would go berserk, leading to his downfall. Therefore, he always took care of Li Shuning.

Upon discovering that Li Shuning was also a Spiritual Ability User, Li Bingyi was thrilled. Back then, Yun Lanxin only had that piece of jade crystal, and she had told him that its power would manifest only if Li Shuning awakened her superpower.

What Li Bingyi did not know, however, was that for the safety of Li Shuning, her mother would never allow her to become another version of herself.

When required to see Li Shuning, Yun Lanxin used the Yun Family's secret technique to ensure Li Shuning could never awaken a superpower.

Li Bingyi had not become a Super Rank powerhouse through his talent. If Li Shuning obtained strength akin to Yun Lanxin's, his power could further enhance.

Of course, the extraction of Li Shuning's spiritual energy could not be done by him, but he had long planned a solution. After all, if someone else killed Li Shuning, it had nothing to do with him, as he had no ties with them.

He had devised methods to bypass these causal issues long ago.

When a collateral family member attempted to kill Li Shuning, it startled him because, had they succeeded, it would mean his end too.

During the incident when Li Shuning was in danger, his body indeed displayed abnormalities.

Li Shuning gasped; the promised happy life and the reality were entirely incompatible with the plot.

Yun Zimo's expression also looked grim. The Yun Family held a special position in the entire Human Alliance because the whole family comprised Spiritual Ability Users, whereas they were rare elsewhere.

Yet, within the Yun Family, hundreds of people were all Spiritual Ability Users.

That a little princess like Yun Lanxin was killed by someone like Li Bingyi was indeed ironic. Until her death, Yun Lanxin never revealed her origins, likely knowing it would have been futile.

His little sister was already dead; he couldn't let his niece disappear as well.

Keeping Li Shuning on Nadis Planet was evidently unsuitable.

"Uncle Sen, leave Nadis immediately and return to Yun Star."

"Yes, young master. What should we do with this person?"

Yun Zimo pondered for a moment: "Take him along for now."

Li Junming had been knocked unconscious, and Yun Sen promptly placed him in the Isolation Chamber.

Even a Tenth Rank expert could not escape the Isolation Chamber, and it blocked all signals, making it impossible for Li Junming to contact the outside world.

Yun Sen operated the hovercar towards the Floating Building, also contacting Yun Star to explain the general situation here.

When the hovercar deviated from its original trajectory, Li Bingyi squinted his eyes.

The more he thought about it, the more something felt off.

Why would that Yun Zimo initially warn Li Shuning but not directly save her?

He knew that the elder beside Yun Zimo was a Tenth Rank powerhouse, who, even with laser guns, could easily take down those guards. Why let Li Shuning run helplessly to the Floating Building?

Previously, he always felt that Mr. Yun seemed dangerous and somewhat strange.

Mr. Yun, haha, wasn't he somewhat reminiscent of Yun Lanxin's demeanor? Moreover, that scent about him was indeed "sweet."

Yun Lanxin truly was his lucky star, bringing yet another gift this time?
