Chapter 719: Chapter 721 Unexpected Visitor
Lian Qing had left Floating Star first, in order not to hold back Nian Shutong.
When he had just returned to Blue Star, he immediately sent a message to Nian Shutong, informing her of his safe arrival and asking if he should tell Lin Mu to bring people over.
At that time, Nian Shutong was already en route to Blue Star, so she naturally replied that it wasn’t necessary and estimated her arrival in three hours.
Upon receiving the message, Lian Qing felt relieved and immediately informed Lin Mu, who was walking towards him.
"I came back first, Mr. Nian will be here three hours later."
Lin Mu was originally puzzled, wasn’t Nian Shutong coming back on the Shadowless?
However, when she saw that only Lian Qing had disembarked, and coupled with his words, she guessed, "Nian Shutong got into a fight and let you leave first."
Lian Qing smiled lightly, nodding without any embarrassment—indeed, he was very weak now.
"You’re right."
Lin Mu was just stating a fact, with no intention of shaming Lian Qing, but fortunately, Lian Qing was also the future apprentice approved by Nian Shutong, so she then said, "Let’s prepare to eat, let Master Fan cook for you."
"Thank you."
The two walked one after the other, Lin Mu naturally ahead, exuding the air of owning ten thousand acres of grassland, and followed by the feeling of a princess seeking kinship.
After Lian Qing washed his hands, Master Fan quickly prepared a super economical bowl of noodles, the braised meat completely covering the noodles.
"Come on, here’s more meat, if it’s not enough, there’s still more."
That wasn’t all; Master Fan also brought out a bowl of meat and a bowl of vegetables for Lian Qing, meaningfully saying, "It’s not easy going out with the Boss, eat up."
Lian Qing felt Master Fan’s gaze, it was as if he was looking at a pitiful soul. Why did he feel it wasn’t easy going alone with the Boss?
"Lian Qing, the Boss acts on her whims, don’t overthink when you’re with her—just follow orders. She won’t let anyone be treated unfairly."
"I know, Master Fan, the Boss is very kind."
"That’s true, she really is very kind." Master Fan brightened up at the mention of the Boss, laughed heartily, and asked, "Why didn’t the Boss come back with you?"
Lian Qing swallowed his food, put down his chopsticks, and said, "Boss will be here three hours later; I left first."
"Three hours!" Master Fan slapped his thigh and got up urgently, walking towards the kitchen while muttering, "The Boss loves braised pork, quickly!"
"She must have gone to fight again!"
Meanwhile, Lian Qing, who was sitting and eating noodles, lowered his head to eat, but his face bore a genuinely warm smile.
He really liked the atmosphere on Blue Star, where everyone lived authentically and their interactions were sincere.
As he continued to lower his head eating noodles, someone sat opposite him, Ha Ha.
"Lian Qing, where’s the good person?"
"She’ll be back soon."
While speaking, Lian Qing pushed his bowl of meat towards Ha Ha and said, "Eat some meat, there’s plenty."
Tempted, Ha Ha still did not eat.
"You eat, I eat meat every day at home, you might not get the chance to with the good person."
"The good person must have gone to fight."
Another person had guessed Nian Shutong’s actions, leaving Lian Qing only able to nod and hum in agreement.
Just as Ha Ha was about to get up and find Master Fan for something to eat, Rubble, Lin Mu, and Xiao Si almost simultaneously rushed over.
"Aliens have arrived," Lin Mu immediately began to give orders.
"Rubble, activate the defense, Xiao Si, lead them to the desert combat zone!"
"Ha Ha, follow me!"
Ha Ha, who was about to go eat, immediately switched to a fierce expression and quickly followed Lin Mu towards the desert combat zone.
The combat zone was set up after the last unsuccessful tax collection by the Lei Family, along with a complete interference guidance system to prevent outsiders’ flying devices from landing in their residential area or on the crop factory.
Rubble and Xiao Si acted together, closely coordinating; they had rehearsed several times already.
Lin Mu drove a new type of flying device, taking along Ha Ha, while Lian Qing also put down his chopsticks and followed.
Although he couldn’t fight, he was bringing the Little Silver Snake with him.
At the same time, Blue Star’s early warning system sounded, and all the residents received alerts on their Light Computers.
Every household, whether working or not, each grabbed the weapons Nian Shutong had made for them from their own Space Buttons, found the closest person to them, and grouped in twelves, forming arrays and waiting.
This was what Nian Shutong had taught them.
The strength of the residents was uneven, so the Arrays were the most effective way of attacking and also the best way of protecting themselves.
After Lin Mu’s flying device took off, Ji Sisi, wearing her Mecha, also ran out of the workshop along with others like Elder Hua.
However, Elder Hua couldn’t go, he had to stay and look after the children.
Ever since the Emperor and Empress came here following Dou Dou, the two perfectly integrated into this life and even got a piece of farmland.
When Dou Dou was in class, they kept themselves busy, feeling both fulfilled and happy.
The two immediately headed to the school, staying with Elder Hua to protect the children, along with Little Pink Pig and Jing Bai who had hastened over.
These were the assignments Nian Shutong had left before he departed, each with their own duty.
At that moment, the outsiders’ flying device, disturbed by Blue Star’s defense system, actually landed in the desert combat zone.
As their flying device landed, Lin Mu, Ha Ha, Lian Qing, and Ji Sisi were already standing opposite them.
Yet, unseen, the Little Silver Snake, Big Black Bull disguised as a black rock, and the little monkey hiding behind the black bull, were also in position.
The door of the incoming flying device opened, and a familiar figure stepped out, the leader from the Ji Family.
"Elder, that’s Ji Sisi."
The person leading the Ji Family pointed to Ji Sisi across from him wearing the battle Mecha, bowing to the person beside him.
The person beside him, his silver-white hair tied in a bun on his head, dressed in an exquisite white suit, leaning on a dragon-headed cane, sharply eyed Ji Sisi.
"Are you Ji Sisi?"
Ji Sisi, addressed, hadn’t expected it to be someone from the Ji Family, and at this moment, felt guilty towards Mr. Nian, for bringing him trouble.
"Are your eyes ruined by age?"
Lin Mu didn’t care who they were, this unannounced arrival warranted handling in the manner Nian Shutong would have done.
"It might not just be that, perhaps blind from birth."
Lian Qing’s supportive comment made Lin Mu nod in satisfaction, "You’re right. Otherwise, how could they not know to knock on someone’s door before entering?"
"Knocking has nothing to do with being blind; it’s about them having no shame."
Lin Mu nodded even more firmly, turning toward Lian Qing, "You’re correct."
