Vanished into the Sea of Stars

As she spoke, Jiujiu took some out and stuffed some into both Wei Lanshan's and Suo Feihua's hands. She put the rest into the storage space Wei Lanshan had given her. It was one cubic meter in size, enough to hold plenty of food.

Wei Lanshan felt rather helpless. Whenever Jiujiu got food, she never forgot to share it. First it had been Sixi, then Wei Lanshan, and now she was even sharing food with the person who had given it to her.

Suo Feihua burst out laughing. "What a sweet, lovable child. Go ahead and eat. I still have plenty. When you finish, I'll pack some more for you."

Jiujiu was a little embarrassed. Suo Feihua had mistaken her for a foodie, but there was nothing she could do about it. The snacks Suo Feihua had just given her were really, really delicious. Forgive this country bumpkin for never having seen the world. She could only thank her with puffed cheeks as she chewed.

After arranging rooms for Wei Lanshan and Jiujiu, Suo Feihua returned to the command room. She sent people to the Mingzhao Star System, intending to erase all traces of Wei Lanshan boarding a Feihua Group starship.

She also instructed her subordinates to send out a small Star Shuttle, with people disguised as Wei Lanshan and Jiujiu. Once every detail had been arranged and confirmed flawless, the Feihua Group's starship left Mingzhao and sped toward Sulaina.

Another group of mercenaries who had accepted the job received false information. Believing Wei Lanshan had gone in another direction, they caught up to what they thought was Wei Lanshan's Star Shuttle. Without engaging Wei Lanshan, they fired an atomic cannon and directly destroyed the shuttle.

And so, under the identity of a temporary doctor aboard the Feihua Group fleet, Wei Lanshan temporarily joined the Feihua Group. Her main duty was treating Suo Feihua's younger sister, Suo Feiyue.

Suo Feihua had sent people to Mingzhao, only to receive word that someone had already erased Wei Lanshan's trail completely, leaving nothing behind. Suo Feihua raised a brow and told Wei Lanshan what had happened.

Wei Lanshan thought about it for a long time but could not think of any old acquaintance she might have in the Mingzhao Star System. Still, it was a good thing that someone had helped her. Since she could not think of who it was, she let it go.

Ming Weiman, who had silently done a good deed, was feeling miserable. When would Senior Sister notice her adorable junior brother?

Yet his chief senior sister still did not know he even existed.

Following her own plan, Suo Feihua helped Wei Lanshan stage several more ground accidents. At the appropriate points in time, she also created several deep-space disasters in the star systems where the mercenaries tracking Wei Lanshan had appeared. At last, Wei Lanshan and Jiujiu's traces vanished completely into the sea of stars.

Though it had taken quite a bit of trouble, the result was good.

The tension Wei Lanshan had carried for the past few months finally eased somewhat. Now, Jiujiu and she could be considered safe.

As long as Jiujiu's identity issue could be resolved, they should be able to disappear completely into the sea of stars from then on.

After receiving the mercenaries' report, Tang Yonghuang encrypted the information and sent it to his younger sister on Gaia Star.

When Tang Yongyu watched the footage of Wei Lanshan and that low-grade experimental subject disappearing into the depths of the sea of stars and becoming cosmic dust, she revealed a victorious, smug smile.

There was nothing money could not solve. So what if Wei Lanshan was the Alliance Chief? Had she not still been reduced to ashes?

Tang Yongyu was certain that all future trouble had been eliminated. Ye Yunhan had no idea about her actions behind the scenes.

After Wei Lanshan escaped his sphere of influence, he gave up the overt pursuit. His people working in secret reported that Wei Lanshan had boarded Xiwei's starship, and that Xiwei's starship later met with an accident and crashed in an asteroid belt.

He breathed a sigh of relief. This was Wei Lanshan's fate. It was not that Ye Yunhan insisted on her death—it was simply that she had bad luck.

After Ye Zhenwei recovered her health, Ye Yunhan found time to return to the Ye Family. His father had already handed the entire Ye Family over to him, and as a result, he learned many things he had not understood before.

Wei Lanshan's identity was not as simple as merely being the Alliance Chief. After learning this, Ye Yunhan had once been glad that he had not openly hunted Wei Lanshan down on a large scale. Otherwise, once Wei Lanshan was safe, she would surely have retaliated against the Ye Family.

Now, all future trouble had been eliminated.

Both Ye Yunhan and his wife believed they had dealt with Wei Lanshan and the experimental subject. The two of them were now riding high, because their daughter had become the most dazzling presence on Capital Star Gaia.

The restored Ye Zhenwei was already over thirteen years old. The young girl had begun to blossom, faintly displaying a beauty so radiant it was beyond compare.

On Gaia Star, Ye Zhenwei received not only the best education and resources.

After revealing her talent, she drew the competition of the Alliance's ten most powerful families.

Among them, the Boyuan Family, Xiwen Family, Muwen Family, Fang Family, Chen Family, and Qing Family all had heirs of suitable age.

Together, they held a grand welcome banquet for Ye Zhenwei, inviting the most powerful figures of the Jingsu Alliance to celebrate on Gaia Star for an entire day and night. Their hidden intentions were self-evident.

These families all had outstanding heirs. The Boyuan Family's eldest son, Chris Boyuan, had just turned eighteen this year. With 5A physical ability, 3S Mental Power, and exceptional talent, he was already the top student at the Alliance Military Academy.

After Chris graduated from the military academy, he would join the Seventh Legion and lead the Seventh Fleet across the sea of stars, becoming the Seventh Legion's highest commander.

At present, the Boyuan Family was doing everything it could to raise Chris's Mental Power by another level.

After Ye Zhenwei arrived on Gaia, the Boyuan Family was determined to have her. They believed that if Ye Zhenwei and Chris joined forces, the Boyuan Family's descendants would certainly be even more outstanding in the future.

The Muwen Family did not lag behind either, while the Xiwen Family had even brought several of its outstanding younger members for Ye Zhenwei to choose from.

Every family was making its own calculations, eyeing Ye Zhenwei and competing for this astonishingly gifted future daughter-in-law.

They were extremely confident in their family backgrounds. Moreover, all these heirs had 5A physical ability. Chris had the highest Mental Power, followed by Russell, Felinan, Fang Jinyu, and Chen Nanxian.

However, the Alliance still had several young heirs with 3S Mental Power, though for some reason, they had not appeared tonight.

This grand banquet was uploaded to the Star Net, and the entire Alliance was shaken.

It was the first time the heirs of several great families had appeared in public. Every one of them was the dream of countless young girls, and this public appearance was to welcome a beautiful young girl of exceptional talent.

Ye Zhenwei looked at the decorations before her, at this dreamlike palace. Tonight, she was Gaia Star's brightest superstar.

She would meet several of the Alliance's most outstanding young men, each of them among the very best in strength.

With her family background, these were people she could never have encountered before. Yet because she possessed such dazzling talent, everything had now been reversed.

Tonight, she was the queen. Her heart, which had grown somewhat despondent and lost during her illness, instantly swelled upon seeing the magnificent banquet venue.

Linking arms with her father, Ye Yunhan, Ye Zhenwei slowly stepped into this resplendent palace, newly adorned to welcome her arrival, with pride written all over her face.

She was beautiful, with lively eyes and graceful bearing. After arriving on Gaia Star, Tang Yongyu had hired Gaia Star's etiquette instructors to teach Ye Zhenwei etiquette for several months.

They had molded her into a refined young lady adored by all. With her temper restrained, Ye Zhenwei was exceedingly pleasing to the eye.

The heirs of the various families standing in the hall were also surprised when they saw Ye Zhenwei.

They had not expected this little sister to be so sweet and lovely, looking delicate and charming in a way completely at odds with her strength.

After all, the powerful women they usually encountered all possessed a certain toughness and decisiveness.
