"Tai Yu is going to You Chong Star? Isn't that a blatant slap in Deep Blue World's face?"
Sure enough, whenever Tai Yu was mentioned and connected to key elements like Deep Blue World and Myriad Transformations Deep Blue, it had become an instinctive reaction among those in Star Ring City who knew the truth.
Deep Blue World's travel ban on Tai Yu, issued from millions of light-years away, was now spreading far and wide, further fueling this trend.
Bai Tiancong had no intention of mocking it, because that had been his first thought as well.
The second video conference in a short time had different attendees, a different agenda, and an entirely different atmosphere.
There were fewer high-ranking officials from the Star Ring City Management Committee among the participants, while two specially invited representatives of major local forces had been added.
One was Ma Yong, manager of Xi Corporation's Red Silicon Branch, who had just been released from the Police Station. The other was Bifur, the Great Horn Fleet's fully authorized representative, whose "right-hand man" was still going through procedures at the station.
Both had been dragged into the turmoil stirred up by Tai Yu. It was rare that they had still managed to control their tempers during the meeting. They merely stared at Bai Tiancong, waiting for him to provide more information.

"From my interactions with him, he doesn't seem particularly concerned about Deep Blue World. He is still considering his Mandatory Mission—well, this current operation as well.
