He Didn't Even Recognize His Future Sister-in-Law?

Lei Jinglong looked at Chen Lie, smiled and nodded. He hadn't expected the appeasement to go so smoothly this time.

"Are you sure you only need this ' Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow '? You don't want any other cultivation resources?"

Chen Lie naturally needed other resources, such as Star Liquid.

However, he was afraid that Lei Jinglong would change his mind after learning the value of the ' Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow ', so he naturally dared not raise his demands.

So he shook his head. "One Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow is enough. I will obtain the rest of the necessary resources through legitimate means."

"What a good child!"

Lei Jinglong sighed. There aren't many young men like him who can understand others so well. The government offered compensation, and he didn't ask for an exorbitant amount.

"However, Chen Lie, now that we've given you these resources, we'll consider this matter closed. And please don't bring up your sister again."

"Don't worry, Principal Lei, I'll pretend this never happened!" Chen Lie waved his hand.

"That's good. I promise to restore your reputation, and it will be done within two days."

We will give Huo Jinghong some criticism and education, but you are both geniuses that Blue Star is focusing on cultivating. If possible, I hope you won't make things too tense.

As you surely know, the situation on our Blue Star is extremely dire; we cannot afford internal strife."

"I'll try my best!" Chen Lie nodded.

Lei Jinglong offered a few words of reassurance to Chen Lie, then called Chen Xingyao over from the adjacent tea room.

He then inquired, "Chen Lie, you mentioned to Instructor Zheng Dongyang and the others that you were instructed in martial arts by the Star Seeker when you were a child?"

Chen Lie nodded and said, "That's true!"

Do you know what Star Seeker is?

Chen Lie shook his head. "I didn't know before; I only found out after I entered Blue Star University."

"Are you sure the person who guided you is the Star Seeker?" Lei Jinglong asked again.

"I'm not sure, I only heard that his entourage called him the Star-Seeking Saint."

Lei Jinglong pondered for a moment, then asked, "According to you, you received guidance from the Star Seeker ten years ago. Why did you remain inactive for the past ten years, but suddenly display extraordinary talent recently?"

"Blue Star arts training on Earth typically begins around the age of fourteen, but I was too old to practice at the time."

"That extraordinary person, who must be Star Seeker, said he placed something in my mind, and it will take effect when the time is right," Chen Lie said.

"You mean the reason you've made such rapid progress in martial arts recently is because the thing the Star Seeker left you is working?" Lei Jinglong asked.

"Probably!" Chen Lie gave an ambiguous answer.

Lei Jinglong looked at Chen Xingyao: "Xingyao, you were able to create Consciousness Sea World of over 16 million, could it be because of the guidance of the Star Seeker?"

Chen Xingyao it strange; she knew nothing about this.

Chen Lie readily nodded. "Perhaps, because my sister was also present when that extraordinary person instructed me, but she was only four or five years old at the time and has no memory of it."

Lei Jinglong pondered for a moment.

He knew all too well how difficult it was to cultivate into Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit. The Divine Sense Master Ranking on Blue Star had gone through so much trouble, going to study Outer Stars, receiving guidance from a tenth-level Divine Sense Master at Starry Sky University, and using countless precious Mental Power Treasure to cultivate the ' Chongming World,' Consciousness Sea World with an intensity of 17,000,000.

It was under the meticulous guidance of this tenth-level Divine Sense Master for more than half a year that he finally cultivated the ' Chongming Divine Bird ', a Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit, after going through many hardships.

The ' Chongming Divine Bird ' ranks 35th among the Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit in the Canglan Star Domain.

The two Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit, Chongming Divine Bird and Bi'an, are only one rank apart, a difference that is practically negligible. Therefore, the difficulty of their cultivation should be roughly the same.

It would be almost impossible for someone from East River Province to cultivate a Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit on the Canglan Star Domain Ranking without specialized instruction.

That level of Sea of Consciousness, exceeding sixteen million, is not something a fifteen-year-old girl could cultivate to such a level; otherwise, Blue Star would be teeming with geniuses long ago.

Could it be that the siblings were really guided by the Star Seeker?

With this in mind, Lei Jinglong tentatively asked, "Do you know anyone from the Blood God Sect on Blood God Planet, Ten-Star Alliance in the Canglan Star Domain?"

Chen Lie shook his head and said, "I don't know him!"

Lei Jinglong also felt that Chen Lie Chen Lie n't possibly know anyone from the Blood God Blood God Sect Blood God Planet. After giving Chen Lie and Chen Xingyao a few instructions, he said, "It's lunchtime. We have to exchange martial arts tips with Outer Stars this afternoon. You two should go eat."

Remember, if you have any questions about cultivation, you can come to me anytime.

Chen Lie and Chen Xingyao responded with a single sentence, then left the Principal's Office.

After Chen Lie and Chen Xingyao left, Lei Jinglong returned to his office chair and made a call to the director of the Resource Category Building at Blue Star University.

After the call connected, Lei Jinglong said directly, "Director Liu, this is Lei Jinglong. Have you ever heard of a martial arts resource called ' Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow '?"

A voice immediately came through the Communicator: "Hello Principal Lei, I've never heard of the ' Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow ' you mentioned. Please wait ten minutes while I inquire with the Outer Stars."

"Good!"

Lei Jinglong hung up the phone and waited in his office.

In his mind, it was just a martial arts resource at the Blood-Qi Stage; no matter how precious it was, how expensive could it be?

So he didn't take it seriously, and instead felt that it was too easy to appease Chen Lie so simply.

Ten minutes later, Lei Jinglong's communicator rang again; it was a call back from the Resource Category Building of Blue Star University.

The communication was connected, and the voice from before sounded again, "Principal Lei, I've already asked."

The Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow is a Innate Spiritual Object of the Stellar Treasure, possessing the power to transform one's very being; it is extremely rare in the Canglan Star Domain.

Its price is extremely high, requiring eight or nine million, or even tens of millions of Star-Origin Galactic Coins, and it is always in short supply. Most people who sell Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow require barter, that is, exchanging it for an equivalent amount of equally precious treasures.

Upon hearing this, Lei Jinglong was immediately shocked and exclaimed, "Tens of millions of Star Dollar? How can it be so expensive?"

"Principal Lei, this is Stellar Treasure, Innate Spiritual Object, so it is naturally very expensive."

Lei Jinglong frowned. Ten million Star-Origin Galactic Coins was outrageous. The total annual income of Blue Star was only sixty to seventy million Galactic Coin. This income was only achieved by selling Blue Star's local energy and high-level Exotic Beast Core to Outer Stars, as well as the support of many people who had left Blue Star to hold public office in Outer Stars.

The universal currency of interstellar space is not abundant on Blue Star, and it is used to support students at Blue Star University, as well as to provide monthly resource subsidies to Blue Star students admitted to Starry Sky University.

The Galactic Coin that Blue Star saves up in a year are probably less than two million Star Dollar.

If he were to directly ask the Administrator for ten million Star Dollar to purchase a martial arts resource, he would almost certainly be met with a rebuff.

But since everything had already been agreed upon and promises had been made, Lei Jinglong naturally couldn't back out, so he asked again, "Besides Galactic Coin, are there any other ways to obtain them?"

"Yes, we do! Doesn't our Blue Star have reserves of Star Liquid?"

As far as I know, Star Liquid is a rare treasure, just like ' Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow '. We can choose to barter with Star Liquid.

However, according to the ratio, at least half a cubic meter of Star Liquid is needed to exchange for even one ' Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow '. Half a cubic meter is just the minimum; I've seen cases in the Canglan Star Domain where someone used one cubic meter of Star Liquid to exchange for ' Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow '."

"It's impossible to exchange it for One Cubic Fathom of Star Liquid!"

Lei Jinglong slammed his fist on the table. Blue Star currently only has twenty cubic meters of Star Liquid reserves. As the president of Blue Star University, he has to think about the long term. Every bit of Star Liquid used is a bit less. If it's all squandered now, what will happen to future generations?

Remembering that Blue Star was currently at a critical juncture, offending Chen Lie was tantamount to offending another star-domain-level genius. So he added, "At most Half a Cubic Fathom of Star Liquid. Try it and see if you can exchange Half a Cubic Fathom of Star Liquid for ' Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow '."

"Yes, Principal Lei, I will try to have our people publish this transaction information on Outer Stars."

"Yes, get back to me as soon as you have any news."

"Yes!"

Meanwhile, feeling deeply humiliated Yan Yueke went directly to the Super Genius Class and found her cousin, Yan Zheng.

Yan Yueke, her face streaked with tears, sobbed, "Waaah... Brother Zheng, you have to stand up for me..."

Yan Zheng quickly stepped forward to wipe away Yan Yueke's tears and asked, "What's wrong, Yueke? Who bullied you?"

Yan Yueke immediately stopped sobbing and cried out, "It was a guy named Chen Lie from the Super Genius Class! He humiliated me, grabbed my neck, and threatened to kill me!"

"Chen Lie?"

Yan Zheng's expression changed. "Did he bully you?"

"It's him!" Yan Yueke nodded repeatedly. "Brother Zheng, you know him?"

"Of course I know him. Why would he attack you?" Yan Zheng asked.

"I don't know either. This is the first time we've met. I didn't know who he was before."

"Oh, it seems it's because of me. He probably knows about your relationship with me. I have a grudge against him and have wanted to teach him a lesson several times, but I haven't found the opportunity yet."

That's why he took his anger out on you. Don't worry, I'll teach him a lesson for you.

Yan Yueke then realized that the reason Chen Lie was so hostile towards her was because of her cousin.

What a scoundrel! He humiliates himself like this over such a trivial dispute between juniors. How can people from such a small place be so brainless?

She had originally intended to befriend Chen Xingyao, but now that Chen Lie had humiliated her like this, how could she possibly swallow her pride?

Chen Xingyao is the same; she listens to her bastard brother so blindly, she has absolutely no opinions of her own. If it weren't for her high talent, she would be a complete waste!

Chen Lie and Chen Xingyao went to the Thirteenth Campus cafeteria, each ordered a Advanced Rare Treasure Meal, and found a place to sit down.

Looking at the many strangely dressed people in the restaurant, Chen Xingyao asked doubtfully, "Brother, are these all people from Outer Stars?"

"Yes, they are all from Red Flame Planet and Shuimang Star."

"Oh!"

Chen Xingyao nodded. Back in East River Province, she was completely clueless about Outer Stars, only knowing that there was a vast starry sky beyond Blue Star. Now, at Blue Star University, she has come into direct contact with Outer Stars life.

Just as Chen Lie and Chen Xingyao were having dinner, a pleasant and melodious voice suddenly rang out.

"Chen Lie, when did you arrive?"

Chen Lie turned his head and saw that the person speaking was Ruan Liusu, and next to Ruan Liusu was her friend Zhao Ziyan.

"I just arrived!"

"Oh, I was behind you the whole time and didn't notice you."

Ruan Liusu looked at Chen Xingyao, who was opposite Chen Lie, and asked in confusion, "This is...?"

Chen Lie introduced, "This is my sister, Chen Xingyao!"

Zhao Ziyan suddenly asked, "Your sister? She's not very old, how come she's at Blue Star University?"

Chen Xingyao said, "I cultivate Mental Power and am a Divine Sense Master. I was specially admitted to Blue Star University."

"Special admission without prior recognition?"

Zhao Ziyan was startled. To be exceptionally admitted to Blue Star University at such a young age, Mental Power talent must be very strong, right?

Chen Xingyao asked again, "Who are you?"

Zhao Ziyan said, "Who is it? As the younger sister, you don't even recognize your future sister-in-law?"

"Sister-in-law?" Chen Xingyao's eyes widened. "Who's my sister-in-law?"

Zhao Ziyan glanced at Ruan Liusu, her expression meaningful, but asked, "Who else could it be?"

Ruan Liusu glared at Zhao Ziyan, then said to Chen Xingyao, "Xingyao, is that right? Don't listen to her nonsense. Your brother and I are actually... well, we haven't gotten to that point yet."

Chen Xingyao was taken aback. "Not yet?" Did that mean they were close to reaching that step?

Did my brother find himself a girlfriend during his two months at Blue Star University?

"My name is Ruan Liusu, and this is my friend Zhao Ziyan. We are both from Sunan Province."

Since this is our first meeting, and I haven't prepared any gift, how about this!

Ruan Liusu for a moment, then took a string of blue pendants from her waist and placed them directly into Chen Xingyao's hand.

"This thing is called the Spirit-Concentrating Jade. Wearing it will help you clear your mind when comprehending martial arts. It should also be useful for Divine Sense Master, so I'm giving it to you."

Zhao Ziyan opened her mouth. She knew about this Spirit-Concentrating Jade; it was a gift from Ruan Liusu's maternal grandfather for her sixteenth birthday. It was said to have been purchased from Outer Stars, and was extremely precious. Why would it be given away so easily?

Chen Xingyao looked at the blue pendant in her hand, somewhat bewildered, and quickly said, "I can't accept this..."

Ruan Liusu replied, "It's just a little trinket, take it!"

Chen Xingyao at her brother and finally accepted the blue pendant.

It seems my brother really did find a girlfriend during this time.

Sunan Province? It must be one of the more prosperous provinces on Blue Star, right?

"Chen Lie, Sister Yun is a teaching assistant in the Super Genius Class. Did she come to see you when you went to register?" Ruan Liusu asked Chen Lie.

Chen Lie nodded and said, "I've gone. I've already joined her Assistant Instructor Group."

Ruan Liusu hummed in agreement and looked at Chen Xingyao.

She didn't know that Chen Lie actually had a younger sister. Judging from her age, she was only fourteen or fifteen years old. Being specially recruited by Blue Star University at that age meant that her Mental Power talent must be exceptional.
