Yan Xiaosu did not care for that. Even if Wang Zheng became a deity, he would still bring him along. “Hey, you don’t seem to have put on or lost any weight. There’s nothing special about a Heaven-rank master.”
“Hey, man, look where you’re touching. I’m not into men,” said Wang Zheng laughingly. “You’re getting fatter. Be careful, or you’ll become a ball.”
“It’s alright. I’m taken anyway,” said a laughing Yan Xiaosu. The atmosphere was suddenly lightened by their teasing.
“Wang Zheng, the current situation is a little critical…” said Mu Sen. There were many twists and turns to the story.
Wang Zheng waved his hand as he smiled. “Elder Mu Sen, I’ve heard everyone’s conversations.”
Immediately, Lan Ling’s face turned red… Did this mean that he had heard all her inner thoughts?
“What should we do?”
Wang Zheng did not hesitate at all. “Let’s march to the Solar System and finish off the enemies!”
They could not allow the Darkness Empire to gain victory, whether it was from a strategic or homeland perspective. Wang Zheng was duty-bound.
Wang Zheng had set the direction. What remained was how they should set off!
The Titans basically did not have any space warriors. They only had one operational star fleet with zero practical experience. But despite having just experienced a war, everyone present was ready to fight after Wang Zheng said that he was setting out on the expedition.
The doctor wanted to give Wang Zheng a comprehensive checkup but was refused by Wang Zheng. As a Heaven-rank warrior, his body had already surpassed the realm of a normal person. The general medical theories would not be effective for them either. The inner universe was a totally new field.
As for the decision to set out on the expedition to the Solar System, Wang Zheng was not rash. It was a thoroughly thought-out decision. He had initially wanted to go alone. However, after learning of the changes in formation of the star fleet, he suddenly had an idea.
Death would definitely be a certainty if he sent this temporary star fleet out on this expedition. Even though the Wise Ones of Tita were fast learners, their war experience was zero. Their training was simply insufficient. He had no intention of sending the Wise Ones to their deaths.
This was what was most puzzling for all of them.
Wang Zheng got through the Skylink. Xie Yuxin was feeling really bored at this moment. He had nothing to do because everything happening internally in the army was a mess. Everyone was pushing the blame and attacking their opponents for the defeat of the war. Xie Yuxin was in a lowly position, so his words carried no weight. Besides, he would not say anything. It would be useless. Could this be the end of the Solar System?
Xie Yuxin honestly felt nothing. It did not matter that he felt no honor or was heartless. This was how he felt honestly. If such a Solar System did not fail, it would indeed be intolerable injustice. He was only doing his part. He could not change God’s will and did not have the intention to. He was different from Wang Zheng. He was not willing to fight for an opportunity. If an opportunity arose, he would unleash his potential a little. If there was no opportunity, so be it. If he was to die in the war, that would be the end. When a person died, it would be like the snuff of a candle – he would eventually be forgotten.
His Skylink rang. Xie Yuxin answered it subconsciously. “Earth Advisory Department…”
“Yuxin, it seems that you’re doing a good job as an advisor.” Looking at Xie Yuxin, Wang Zheng broke into a bright smile.
Xie Yuxin was somewhat taken back. He shook his head helplessly. “It’s actually you. Why? Are you coming back?”
Almost without thinking, Xie Yuxin understood all too well. Wang Zheng did not have to explain himself. Among the people that he knew, Xie Yuxin had always been the most intelligent and perhaps even the most talented.
Seeing Wang Zheng’s nod, Xie Yuxin shrugged his shoulders. “It’s useless.”
“It would be useless if it was just me alone. What if we join forces?” said Wang Zheng smilingly. “I’ll deal with the three senior Heaven-ranks. You’ll take charge of the coalition forces. It’s a fair division, right?”
“You think too highly of me. I’m just an advisor. To be exact, I don’t even qualify to be in the battlefield.” Xie Yuxin smiled bitterly. From Earth to Aslan, to Elite Academy X, and even on the Oracle Star, no one paid any attention to Xie Yuxin. As such, when he returned to Earth, this was the only post that he could secure, and it was on account of his family. He was really an unknown.
However, reputation did not equate to ability. Wang Zheng knew that among the people around him, there was only one person that he could be compared to.
“I have already prepared a fleet for you. Although they are all novices, the spiritual acceptance and reactions of the wise ones of Tita are the best in the Milky Way Alliance. The problem now is whether you know the game that Ren Yixuan is playing!” asked Wang Zheng. Xie Yuxin’s spiritual power was the strongest he had encountered. He had already demonstrated this on the Oracle Star. To be exact, Xie Yuxin and Ren Yixuan were the same type of people.
Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded. Who was Ren Yixuan? He was the most famous person in the Milky Way Alliance now. He alone had driven Aslan to a desperate end. Even the prime minister of Arbiter had declared that he himself could die but not even scratch should be found on Ren Yixuan. He was a national treasure. Countless countries had researched and tried imitating Ren Yixuan, but none had achieved it.
This Xie Yuxin, who was he?
Xie Yuxin shook his head lightly. “I don’t know…” Everyone was stunned. What… the heck was this?
“But I have my own little plan. It seems like a good idea too.”
Wang Zheng clapped his hands while laughing. “Let’s join forces then and give the Maacah coalition a surprise. Zisu, we’ll have to trouble Chancellor Ye to make the arrangements.”
Ye Zisu nodded. “This matter regarding Yuxin is an easy task. There are too many talents in the Advisory Department. No one is taking notice of someone like him. We will take him in.”
Switching off the Skylink, Xie Yuxin closed his eyes and took a deep, long breath. A smile appeared from the corner of his mouth. How could he phrase this? Even with his cold temperament, he was not willing to resign to his own fate. To be famous?
He was not interested; otherwise, the Milky Way Alliance would have known him by now. But he had things that he wanted to do, like going to the Oracle Star, like this war. Wang Zheng was the only one in this world who understood him. Just like back then, when they were applying for Ares College, he was the only one in the entire universe who knew that Wang Zheng would eventually shock the entire world.
It was rare to have a confidante in life.
It was time to make his move.
“Xie Yuxin, Xie Yuxin, this is no time for you to laze around. Finish the report quickly. Give those good-for-nothings a good talking to. How could they lose such a battle! They’re really stupid!”
The director’s yelling could be heard in the office. The defeat had put the director in a very bad mood. He had found Xie Yuxin to be even more a prick in the eyes.
Xie Yuxin smiled and stood up. From a distance, he waved his hand at the director, leaving a dashing figure of his back…
Director Oak was stunned. That son of a b**ch. Was he ignoring him?
Was this a mutiny?
Did he think that he could be so arrogant with an over the hill grandfather?
Kid, don’t come back if you have the guts!
Oak was hopping mad. The current situation was really precarious. Everyone could tell that the Solar System was at a dead end. Should he run?
Many of the businessmen already had this intention. They should run before the Maacah coalition completely took control of the routes. Once the ground defences were breached, it would be even harder to run.
Was Xie Yuxin… thinking of running?
Right! That had to be it. That guy was so cunning; he was actually thinking of running away. No way. He had to run too!
“Director Oak, the army has an order for you to attend a meeting. It’s very important. You have to be there or you’ll be court martialed!”
Oak was taken aback. Damn it. He did not want to be the director anymore…
