Richest Man on Mingzhao Star

Xi He became even more intrigued. Wei Lanshan had fled the Tianning Star System and stopped in both Aura and Anvile. For the Tang Family to pursue her across several star systems without giving up, she had to be carrying some earth-shattering secret.

Moreover, on his way here, he had discovered that people from the Tianning Star System were also tailing Wei Lanshan and the others.

And then there was this: Wei Lanshan was fleeing with a child, yet as the Alliance Chief, she did not dare ask the Central Brain to dispatch Alliance Guards to protect her. If there were no significant interests involved, Xi He would never believe it.

"Then give it a try."

Wei Lanshan unleashed her Mental Power completely. Wu Yuan moved at once as well. It turned sideways and glanced at Wei Lanshan before tossing her a chip. Wu Yuan opened its database and put the data into transmission mode. Wei Lanshan nodded in understanding.

Wu Yuan swiftly severed control over the starship's cabin doors, shifted its form, and sprang out, trapping Xi He, Wei Lanshan, and Jiujiu inside the conference room.

Xi He had yet to recover from his shock. He had not expected this robot to possess independent thought, much less combat power that might rival his own.

"Wei Lanshan, after all these years, you're still as arrogant as ever. Today, I'll make you suffer a little. I, Xi He, am no longer the man I was ten years ago." Xi He attacked.

He was extremely fast. Jiujiu could not see how he moved with her eyesight alone.

She immediately focused and followed the method Wei Lanshan had taught her, mobilizing her Mental Power. Only then could she make out Xi He's movements.

This time, Wei Lanshan used all her strength as well. She was even faster than Xi He, and the Mental Power coating her long blade made it seem almost alive.

Xi He had trained tirelessly in Martial Skills all these years so that one day he could "wash away his humiliation." Yet he had never expected Wei Lanshan's Martial Skills to have reached a realm beyond his ability to contend with.

Wei Lanshan's long blade pursued Xi He relentlessly. Xi He's weapon was a gun, and there was also a rectangular box attached to his arm, though its purpose was unknown.

After missing Wei Lanshan with ten shots in a row, he leaped out of her attack range and shifted his target to Jiujiu inside the Protective Shield.

Xi He changed weapons and fired five beams of light in succession, all aimed at Jiujiu.

Jiujiu held the defensive weapon Wei Lanshan had given her in front of herself, protecting her head and chest.

At the same time, she threw another offensive weapon that Wei Lanshan had secretly given her toward Xi He, mobilizing all her Mental Power.

Xi He had not expected a child barely over five years old to be able to use Mental Power so precisely, much less launch a sneak attack, so Jiujiu hit him.

If Jiujiu had known that he had actually defined her counterattack as a sneak attack, she definitely would have thrown a few more at him—if she had had any extra weapons.

He was clearly the one who had used a light weapon against a child just a few years old first. She was only defending herself, alright?

After all this time training, Jiujiu had gained very precise control over her strength. This time, she had struck quickly only because she was confident.

The instant Jiujiu hit Xi He, Wei Lanshan knocked him down.

Xi He's face was filled with disbelief. He had trained day and night all these years, yet he had still lost to Wei Lanshan—because Wei Lanshan had help!

"Xi He, I spared your life back then and gave you the chance to turn over a new leaf. I never expected you to become even worse." After saying this, Wei Lanshan acted.

She showed him no more mercy. Using her Mental Power, she destroyed all of Xi He's Genetic Information. Once Genetic Information was destroyed, one's physical strength and Mental Power would naturally collapse.

No one in the Alliance could restore destroyed Genetic Information. Perhaps she could barely attempt it.

What was more, she had sent Xi He's information and location to the Central Brain. The Alliance Guards would apprehend him within two days.

From now on, Xi He would be a cripple with no ability to protect himself. The Xi Wei Mercenary Group had so many enemies that Xi He would become a rat crossing the street.

She did not kill Xi He. She merely made him wish he were dead, settling all the grievances from back then in one stroke.

"Hah, back then, you were too weak—too weak to kill me. What are you saying such high-sounding words for? That you spared me?"

Xi He was in unbearable pain at that moment, as though his entire body had been crushed to pieces.

"I can kill you today, and I could have killed you back then as well. If an accident hadn't forced me to leave immediately, would I have let you roam the star seas freely for so many years?"

Wei Lanshan had no intention of wasting more words on him. Wu Yuan had already returned. It opened the cabin door and sent them to the bottom of the Xi Wei Starship, where Xi Wei's small Star Shuttle was parked.

Wei Lanshan led Jiujiu onto the Star Shuttle, but Wu Yuan did not follow.

"Aunt Lan, Wu Yuan hasn't come aboard yet." Jiujiu saw Wei Lanshan quickly start the Star Shuttle, while Wu Yuan still had not come up.

"There's no need. It will kill the people from Xi Wei here, then take Xi Wei's starship in another direction." Wei Lanshan's tone was calm, and Jiujiu could not tell what she was feeling.

Jiujiu's little face was full of shock. "Is there no other way?"

Wei Lanshan shook her head. "When I agreed to the Ye Family's experiment, I only brought Wu Yuan with me. I thought there wouldn't be too many problems."

Jiujiu still had no identity. She was an undocumented person through and through. That was why Wei Lanshan had not asked the Central Brain for help or requested Alliance Guards.

The moment she asked for help, she would have to explain Jiujiu's existence, origins, and reason for fleeing to the Central Brain.

The process would take a long time. More importantly, afterward, Jiujiu would be sent back to the Ye Family.

That was not why she had saved Jiujiu in the first place.

She had ordered Wu Yuan to kill the Xi Wei members, then fly the starship toward Jinghui Star. While passing through the turbulent currents of the asteroid belt, it was to detonate the starship, erasing their trail for a while.

That would give them some breathing room. Wei Lanshan needed to prepare weapons and buy supplies for self-defense. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to reach their destination.

"Will Wu Yuan die?"

"No. Don't worry. I have backups of its data. If you like, I can make another one later."

But that one would not be this Wu Yuan, the one who disliked her so very much, would it?

Jiujiu knew that robots did not truly die. Their bodies were merely shells; what made them speak and move were their programs and chips.

Just like Sixi, who had cared for her. Yet parting still made her sad.

Jiujiu looked back at the Xi Wei Starship, which was already far behind them, and made up her mind. Someday, she would remake Sixi too. And if she could, she would make another Wu Yuan as well.

Wei Lanshan landed on an Administrative Star in the Mingzhao Star System with Jiujiu. This time, the two had assumed the identities of father and son.

Ming Weiman had been waiting for news from Wei Lanshan. He had also sent people out to drive away every mercenary they encountered along the way.

There was also another group that had been tracking Wei Lanshan's trail.

So, the moment Wei Lanshan entered the Mingzhao Star System, Ming Weiman learned of her whereabouts.

He had never expected his senior sister to become addicted to changing identities. She had actually prepared several IDs. As expected of the Alliance Chief—her ability to escape for her life was top-notch!

When Wei Lanshan noticed that her and Jiujiu's whereabouts had been exposed again, she took Jiujiu into the Underground City of the chaotic civilian district and changed identities once more.

Ming Weiman cursed inwardly. He had not expected his senior sister to be so vigilant. He only wanted to give her a friendly greeting and acknowledge their relationship, that was all. Helplessly, he stared up at the sky.

So he sent Long Xingxue a Video Call. "Long Xuexing, Senior Sister Wei Lanshan discovered my people and avoided them. How am I supposed to explain my identity to her?"

Long Xingxue was speechless. With Ming Weiman's brain, how had he managed to build such a huge business?

"Can't you just speak to her directly as the richest man in the Mingzhao Star System? Why are you sneaking around like some shady creep? Are you stupid?"

"I, I..." Ming Weiman had never won against Long Xingxue—not in Martial Skill, and even less so in a war of words!

After being lectured by his senior sister again, Ming Weiman felt aggrieved. Extremely aggrieved. He had only wanted to show off a little.

So that the chief senior sister would know that she had people backing her too, and that his strength was pretty formidable. He could definitely wipe out all those people.
