237: Chapter 234 Reunion with Ye Yungui

Ye Xinghe listened to Kaka's words.

The New Moon was extremely mysterious, and it even left behind numerous opportunities.

If not for the New Moon, the Blue Moon Civilization could not have risen so quickly. Back then, after he became a Sky-Patrol Martial Artist, he got his hands on the greatest Opportunity—the ruin where Kaka was located.

Later.

With Kaka's help, he completely controlled the Secret Realm. After the civilization arena, he exchanged for numerous treasures and ultimately transformed it into the Blue Moon Civilization's largest cultivation base.

Only for the last prehistoric ruin, despite trying many methods, he still only understood a small fraction of its operational rules.

"Rest assured."

"Based on my experience, even if Zhuang Yiliu fails, she shouldn't be in any life-threatening danger," Kaka's voice sounded once more. "Besides, this little girl's talent is indeed quite good."

"To be able to display a complete Astral True Body at the Earth Martial Artist stage is stronger than I previously expected."

"If she doesn't succeed, within one or two hundred years—"

"I'm afraid it will be very hard for the Blue Moon Civilization to give birth to anyone more suitable than her," Kaka said.

Ye Xinghe listened.

Although he was immensely powerful and nearly invincible in the Starry Sky realm... this vast Universe still held too many secrets that he could not control. Even someone as powerful as 'Kaka' had died back then.

Naturally, he also yearned for more powerhouses to emerge within the Blue Moon Civilization to share the pressure for him.

Time ticked away second by second.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour later.

"Rumble—" The ancient palace on the right suddenly trembled, erupting with monstrous light. Countless frost emerged on the surface of the palace, and the frost was still crazily spreading outward.

At the same time, an invisible fluctuation burst forth, as if it wanted to pierce through the thick rock layer and rush toward the end of the horizon.

"Stop it quickly," Kaka's voice sounded urgently.

Before Kaka's voice had finished falling,

Whoosh~

The entire world instantly quieted down, and the originally trembling palace instantly became still.

The rubble that flew up because of the palace's tremor hung suspended in mid-air.

Countless frost also stopped spreading.

Even the flickering light no longer flickered, maintaining its original state. Time seemed to have fallen into stillness at this moment... Only Ye Xinghe walked step by step toward the palace.

"What is this thing? Kaka," Ye Xinghe transmitted via consciousness.

"It is a kind of 'Universe signal fluctuation'. If you hadn't stopped it just now, this signal would have traversed an extremely distant starry sky distance in a very short time, at least tens of thousands of light-years, directly reaching the Galactic Center, which is the directly administered territory of the Tianlan Civilization." Kaka's voice carried a hint of confusion: "Why on earth would this guy leave this thing behind?"

"Could it be to remind someone?"

Ye Xinghe was also secretly surprised. In such a short time, the signal actually crossed tens of thousands of light-years straight to the Galactic Center?

This kind of communication method exceeded his imagination.

"There are numerous major factions in the Galactic Center, and many of them are above the Tianshu Civilization. If this signal is transmitted over, whether it brings blessings or disasters is hard to predict," Kaka said. "After so many years have passed, it might just stir up some huge disaster."

"I suggest intercepting it completely."

"Wait until your Disciple comes out, then ask carefully."

"Mn," Ye Xinghe nodded slightly.

He understood that this might not be the most correct choice, but it was the most prudent choice... Perhaps the purpose of this signal was good, but he simply didn't dare to gamble. The Blue Moon Civilization was too weak.

Ye Xinghe had witnessed with his own eyes the destruction of several civilizations... Slightly larger storms and waves in the Universe could potentially destroy the newborn Blue Moon Civilization.

Shortly after.

Zhuang Yiliu walked out of the palace.

"Hmm?" A trace of astonishment flashed in Ye Xinghe's eyes, because Zhuang Yiliu's hair had unexpectedly changed from its previous black to a nearly transparent 'cyan-blue'.

At first glance, her hair looked just like frost.

"Frost Source Fruit."

"Your Disciple actually has such an Opportunity," Kaka's voice sounded, carrying a hint of surprise: "My speculation was correct. This palace should have been left behind by a powerhouse skilled in the frost source intent and wind source intent... with a high probability, it is also the Rift Star Butterfly Star Phase."

"Perhaps, the source of the Rift Star Butterfly Star Phase being born on the Blue Moon Civilization is right here."

Huguang Province, Xingsha City.

Inside the Provincial Branch headquarters of the Xinghe Group, outside a luxurious banquet hall.

In the corridor.

"Minister Tang, this way please." The Senior Martial Artist specially responsible for welcoming smiled and said: "Inspector Ye, Inspector Ma, and Inspector Jiang have all arrived. Commissioner Fang is still on the way."

"Good," Tang Jianxin nodded.

"Ministers of all other departments have also arrived in the side hall." This Senior Martial Artist quickly led Tang Jianxin to a small hall next to the main hall. There were already many people in the small hall, all of whom were Earth Martial Artists, and many were top-tier Earth Martial Artists.

"Congratulations, Minister Tang."

"Congratulations, Minister Tang."

"Jianxin, congratulations." Seeing Tang Jianxin appear, many Earth Martial Artists immediately stepped forward to greet her. Their attitudes were incomparably enthusiastic, and some could even be described as 'flattering'.

Tang Jianxin responded politely while inwardly feeling a sense of emotion.

Not long ago at the Provincial Branch assembly,

quite a few people before her had still given her a hard time, but now their attitudes had completely changed... Tang Jianxin understood that all of this was because of Fang Yu. Not long after Fang Yu's deeds on the Primal Star spread, his appointment as a 9-star member and First-Class Commissioner was issued.

The entire Xinghe Group branch in Huguang Province instantly boiled completely.

And Tang Jianxin's status leaped from a 'bottom-tier minister' among the branch's many direct departments, causing no one to dare look down on her ever again. No other reason!

Which of these Earth Martial Artists wasn't an expert at reading people? Their information networks were extremely well-informed, and most already knew that Tang Jianxin and Fang Yu had a special relationship that developed from a teacher-student bond... Fang Yu's rise was too fast, and he simply hadn't interacted with many Earth Martial Artists.

Tang Jianxin was already the Earth Martial Artist closest to Fang Yu that they knew of.

Furthermore, in some rumors, the relationship between Tang Jianxin and Fang Yu was even more special. After all, though they were said to be teacher and student, their actual ages were not far apart.

"Fang Yu's strength..."

"Can it already rival a Sky-Patrol Martial Artist?" Tang Jianxin secretly sighed with emotion.

She still remembered that more than half a year ago when she sent Fang Yu to the New Moon, Fang Yu was only a Senior Martial Artist.

This speed of rise and growth made her feel incredible.

Not long after Tang Jianxin sat down,

"Commissioner Fang's spaceship has arrived."

"Commissioner Fang is here."

"Quick, go out to welcome him." The entire small hall boiled with excitement.

Inside the main hall.

"Old Ma, Taihe, Fang Yu will be here soon," Ye Yungui said half-jokingly. "I specifically invited him over. You guys seize the Opportunity yourselves... You shouldn't need me to remind you what should and shouldn't be said, right?"

As he spoke, Ye Yungui's gaze fell upon Inspector Ma.

"Yungui, rest assured," Inspector Ma smiled awkwardly. "What happened last time was my fault, and I also have to thank you for not causing any trouble."

"Mn."

"For our Huguang Province to produce a peerless Genius like Commissioner Fang is our good fortune," a stalwart man on the side laughed. "In the future, with our hometown ties, we can also have one more backing."

"Right, right, this is our good fortune," Inspector Ma said hurriedly.

Ye Yungui smiled inwardly.

The Xinghe Group had three Sky-Patrol Envoys in Huguang Province, namely Ye Yungui, Ma Yiyang, and Jiang Taihe... Inspector Ma had the oldest seniority. Because Ye Yungui was unwilling to contend for power and Jiang Taihe fought stationed at the Primal Star year-round, Inspector Ma held the greatest actual power.

Last time, when Fang Yu was promoted to Commissioner, Inspector Ma had been somewhat dissatisfied due to the job arrangements for Xing Ye and Tang Jianxin, but it had been suppressed by Ye Yungui.

"Let's go."

"Fang Yu has arrived," Ye Yungui stood up. "Let's go welcome him."

Fang Yu stepped down from the spaceship, and greeting him was a grand welcome ceremony... He did not return directly to Wuling City, but came to Xingsha City first, also upon Ye Yungui's invitation.

Ye Yungui had a grace of knowing and appreciating him.

Back then, if not for the other party, he wouldn't have shaken off Xia Kaishan's suppression so easily... Furthermore, the other party was Ye Xinghe's son, so Fang Yu naturally had to give this bit of Face.

"Fang Yu," Ye Yungui stepped forward.

"Inspector Ye," Fang Yu bowed slightly.

"You're being distant," Ye Yungui laughed, directly helping Fang Yu up. "I said back on the New Moon that I hoped we could be on equal footing in the future. I originally thought I'd have to wait a few years, but I didn't expect it to come true in just half a year."

"Tsk tsk... Slaughtering a large group of Quasi-Sky-Patrol Martial Artists and slaying the Sky-Patrol Beast King—how many Starry Sky Martial Artists failed to achieve this when they were young."

"You are now a First-Class Commissioner. In terms of status, you're no worse than me. Just like Wang Heng, you can call me Brother Ye, Old Ye, or even Yungui directly," Ye Yungui smiled casually. "Otherwise, I'll be unhappy."

"Alright, then I'll call you Brother Ye," Fang Yu smiled.

Over the past half year or so, the Sky-Patrol Martial Artists Fang Yu had seen were not few, and his explosive growth in strength also made his mindset more composed, allowing him to truly interact with Ye Yungui on an equal footing.

"Come, let me introduce you."

"This is Ma Yiyang, and this is Jiang Taihe," Ye Yungui said. "They are both Sky-Patrol Envoys of the Group in Huguang Province. They are only ordinary Sky-Patrol Envoys. According to convention, they are subject to your jurisdiction."

"Commissioner Fang." Both Ma Yiyang and Jiang Taihe lowered their postures greatly. "In the future, matters of the province will require your guidance."

If it were when Fang Yu had just assumed the role of Commissioner, Ma Yiyang might have wanted to throw his weight around with his old seniority.

Now, he didn't have the slightest bit of dissatisfaction.

A peerless Genius who achieved the Unity of Heaven and Man at 22 years old—such a figure had a greater than 90% probability of becoming a Starry Sky Martial Artist in the future. How could he, a mid-level Sky-Patrol Martial Artist, afford to provoke someone like that?

"You two Sky-Patrol Envoys are too polite," Fang Yu smiled and said. "I am a Junior, and I don't hold any specific post. Furthermore, my main energy is still on Cultivation, so it's out of the question to offer guidance."

"Group affairs, you can handle them according to convention," Fang Yu smiled.

On the way back,

he had also checked the authority and duty division of a 'First-Class Commissioner'... It was already nearly identical to a First-Class Sky-Patrol Envoy, just without a specific post. But compared to ordinary commissioners, he still possessed the power of 'supervision' over the entire Group's Provincial Branch.

However, Fang Yu didn't care at all.

The higher one stood, the farther one saw; his vision and thoughts were no longer restricted to Huguang Province... If not for Ye Yungui's invitation, he probably wouldn't have even bothered to come to Xingsha City.

After a grand banquet,

inside a separate small palace hall, Fang Yu met Tang Jianxin alone.

"F-Fang... Commissioner Fang." Tang Jianxin bowed slightly, intending to salute.
