“Gu Nan, are you serious?” Zhang Dongsheng’s expression was a little helpless as he looked at Gu Nan standing in front of him.
“Yeah. I’ve already completed five missions. According to the rules, I can leave Radiant Tower now,” Gu Nan had a calm expression as he plainly replied.
Over a month had already passed since the private mission last time, and new missions from Radiant Tower’s headquarters had long been issued.
Gu Nan casually picked several small missions. Due to the faster passage of time in smaller worlds, when he completed all of time, only two to three days had passed in Star Realm.
Although they were small missions, the combined reward still wasn’t small.
Gu Nan had 950 points now, about to approach the 1000-point mark. And his Evil Value had also reached 44, so he was one Evil Value away from unlocking the third equipment page.
Zhang Dongsheng really did feel helpless.
It was understandable that Gu Nan wanted to leave. In fact, there wasn’t a single person in this branch who didn’t want to leave. Even if they wanted to remain in Radiant Tower, they could still go to a larger branch. Why suffer here?
Not to mention that Gu Nan and Qin Xuanji were originally kidnapped here, so it was normal for them to be in a hurry to leave.
But what Zhang Dongsheng didn’t understand was how those two could actually complete five missions!
Of the ten or so people in this branch office, the longest had been trapped for two years. This was all because they still couldn’t complete a single round of five missions. One can see from the Azure City mission that missions aren’t so easy to handle!
But when it came to this young man in front of him, everything was different.
For him, completing missions was as simple was eating meals or drinking water. He even took Qin Xuanji with him in passing, allowing her to finish five missions as well.
“I understand… But can you wait for a while? The Immortal Demon World is in need of your assistance.” Zhang Dongsheng thought for a moment and asked.
Nearly half a year had already passed in the Immortal Demon World. The righteous and demonic paths were in an all-out war, which had already reached its climax. A combat force like Gu Nan, the strongest person under the Prodigious Realm, was still very important.
It was precisely because of this that Tang Xuan had no time to return to Star Realm anymore.
Gu Nan shook his head firmly. “I have to return to Ruby Fish Star first… As for the Immortal Demon World, I’ll enter it again if I have the chance.”
At first, Zhang Dongsheng was disappointed, but when he heard the second half of Gu Nan’s words, he could only nod. This was probably the best outcome.
“Alright. I’ll handle the procedures for you… Do you want to wait for Qin Xuanji? She also applied to leave the organization.”
“No need. I’m not on familiar terms with her.”
Zhang Dongsheng: “……”
……
……
[We have arrived at the Sixth Asteroid Belt Station. The transport ship will only stop here for three minutes. Passengers, please don’t leave the ship and walk around…]
As the electronic female voice sounded, Gu Nan entered the transport ship’s third section.
“Sir, please show me your ID.” The third section’s attendant stood by the door and was clearly stunned when she saw Gu Nan entering. After a pause, she hurriedly asked for his ID.
She had worked on the transport ship for several months now and had never seen someone entering or leaving from the Sixth Asteroid Belt Station. This was her first time seeing a passenger at this station.
A moment later, she returned the documents to Gu Nan and couldn’t help giving the latter a few more glances.
All of Gu Nan’s documents were naturally prepared for him by Radiant Tower. It’s just that the information would inevitably be a little casual…… For example, in the box detailing his birthplace, the “Sixth Asteroid Belt” was shockingly written.
“To think someone was actually born in this trashy place…” The attendant lady’s three views were about to collapse.
The next stop, Ruby Fish Star, would be the final stop. The ship was a little empty; there were only a few sparse passengers in it. Gu Nan was also happy with the silence and found a seat to sit.
“Elder Sister, what kind of place is the Sixth Asteroid Belt?”
“I don’t know. It seems to be an interstellar observation point… To think someone actually came from that station.”
“Could it be a bad person……”
“How can the bad guys dare to get on one of the Federation’s transport ships? Don’t daydream!”
The faint sounds of conversation traveled over.
Gu Nan didn’t even have to lift his eyes to know that it was a pair of sisters at the back conversing with each other. They were naturally talking about him.
Although they tried to keep their voices down, it was still a little difficult to hide from Gu Nan’s ears.
The two irrelevant passers-by were merely curious, so Gu Nan wasn’t interested in eavesdropping any further. Just when he planned to ignore them, they attracted his attention with the next sentence.
“Elder Sister, why did Sister Gu Nian invite us to Ruby Fish Star?”
“I suppose I can tell you now… She has a friend who’s cultivating the Pure Heart Dao, but something went wrong, and she’s about to suffer a Qi deviation.”
“Eh? Who is it, who is it? Do we know her?” For some reason, the younger sister’s voice suddenly became excited. “Older Sister, can you let me do it this time?”
“Absolutely not. The patient this time is an ascendant. Her Heart of Dao is quite complicated. You won’t be able to handle it.”
“Oh……”
Their conversation ended here. Gu Nan, who was sitting silently in front, raised his eyebrows slightly. ‘Gu Nian’s friend and also an ascendant…… Could it be Bai Luoluo?’
Gu Nan wasn’t surprised that he unexpectedly ran into this pair of sisters. Because this was the only ship going to Ruby Fish Star around this time.
But since this happened, it would be easy to find Gu Nian. He just had to follow the two sisters.
The Sixth Asteroid Belt wasn’t far from Ruby Fish Star. The transport ship soon arrived at the station, and Gu Nan left with the rest of the passengers.
Only then did he see the two sisters’ appearances. The older sister was a typical Eastern beauty with black hair, black eyes, and fair skin. The younger sister looked more youthful and lively. She was a person of mixed blood, and her hair had a light golden color to it.
Someone was already waiting at the station to pick up the two sisters. Gu Nan stood nearby and overheard the entire conversation.
“Miss Lu, our Young Miss is already waiting for the two of you. Please follow me.” A man in a black suit stood in front of the two women with a respectful expression.
“Gu Nian also came?” The older sister, who was addressed as “Miss Lu,” was a little surprised.
She originally thought that Gu Nian would be waiting for them at the Gu residence. After all, it would be a sensitive affair if someone of Gu Nian’s status personally came to pick people up. If she was seen, then all kinds of rumors might be flying around the next day.
The two followed the man and left the transport ship station. They took a lot of turns and winding roads, finally arriving at a very remote cabin. A delicate and pretty girl was already waiting at the door.
However… She was not Gu Nian.
“Gu Xingzhu? Where’s Gu Nian?” Miss Lu frowned slightly. She felt as if she had just been drawn into trouble. Gu Xingzhu was also a member of the Gu family, but she and Gu Nian didn’t usually get along.
Gu Xingzhu didn’t look any older than twenty, but her bearing was very mature. She had a confident smile on her face, as though she had everything planned out.
“Don’t be nervous, Miss Lu Xinyu. Something happened at home. This time, Eldest Miss and I are on the same side.”
“How can I trust you?” Indeed, Lu Xinyu wasn’t nervous. Anyhow, she just came to help. Even if she can’t help out…… Then she just won’t help—no big deal.
“We can talk about this later. You should visit the patient first.” Gu Xingzhu looked a little helpless. “If you’d come any later, it would’ve been too late for her.”
As she spoke, Gu Xingzhu opened the door of the cabin and revealed a girl curled up into a ball inside the room. Her expression looked a little dull.
She was precisely Bai Luoluo!
