Three Prodigies, Seven Heroes

The Star Beasts' playful scuffling dispelled the stillness of the night. Jing Liuli sat on the steps with Ink Shadow in her arms, feeding the little fellow candy as she watched the Spirit Fox and the Flowing Light Sparrow Bird chase and play.

The Jellyfish Star Beast floated beside Caroline, its pale blue glow making her features seem even gentler.

Not far away, Tiandao leaned against the railing, his gaze resting on Yun Meng. He suddenly said, "Sister Yun, the Association people mentioned that your Star Power fluctuations are very unusual. Their detector couldn't identify your profile."

As soon as he said this, the noisy Star Beasts seemed to sense the shift in atmosphere and gradually quieted down. Xiao Jin also lifted its head, its golden beast eyes looking toward Yun Meng with a trace of dependence.

Yun Meng gently combed through Xiao Jin's fur with her fingertips, her tone calm, as though she were speaking of someone else's story.

"That's normal. I was removed from the Star Envoy Association twenty years ago."

"Removed?"

Jing Liuli looked up, her face full of surprise.

"Instructor, you used to be with the Association too?"

In her impression, Yun Meng had always been an instructor at Ember Base—mysterious and powerful. She had never heard that Yun Meng had any connection to the Association.

The Dimensional Audience at Station 13 was just as astonished.

!!! Removed from the Association? Instructor Yun Meng has that kind of past?

Something from twenty years ago... Instructor must have still been very young then, right?

I smell drama!

The show's camera focused on Yun Meng.

Faced with Jing Liuli's question, Yun Meng nodded. Her eyes turned toward the distant night sky, and a trace of faraway, complicated emotion passed through them.

A badge suddenly appeared in her hand.
