179: Chapter 179 Daydreams

Nangong Qing slightly released her aura.

It quickly triggered a reaction from the global energy monitoring System.

The Security Bureau was responsible for this incident.

After observing Nangong Qing's aura, someone quickly rushed over.

Nangong Qing was now the third-ranked expert of the Blue Star Civilization, so she naturally had to be given ample Face.

Coupled with the events of yesterday, the person who came to welcome her was none other than Gu Daoyi.

"Greetings, Fairy!"

Gu Daoyi was the first to offer his greetings.

In truth, he was slightly older than Nangong Qing.

However, as one's cultivation level increases, age becomes increasingly less significant.

After all, there isn't much difference between being three hundred and forty years old and three hundred and thirty.

The further one goes, the more everyone focuses on cultivation.

The so-called 'the accomplished are the teachers' is the hard truth.

While Gu Daoyi offered his greetings, he couldn't help but turn his gaze toward Ji Yebai.

Fairy Mingyu, Nangong Qing, was currently the highest-ranking female Martial Artist in the Blue Star Civilization, and her beauty was exquisite, surpassing all others under heaven.

The essence of cultivation is the evolution of life; with cultivation, an already beautiful Face becomes even more stunningly radiant.

Fairy Mingyu was the undisputed number one beauty of the Blue Star Civilization.

The number of Nangong Qing's admirers could be described as numerous as crucian carp crossing a river.

Even most Martial Artists in the Life and Death Realm felt a sense of love for Nangong Qing.

However...

Her astonishing beauty, combined with her cultivation Realm as the third-ranked in the world, made people shrink back in awe.

This was the first time Gu Daoyi had seen someone standing beside Nangong Qing with such a composed expression.

And looking at the demeanor of the two, their familiarity far exceeded that of ordinary people.

It was just a pity.

Even though his gaze scanned Ji Yebai from top to bottom, he discovered nothing.

It was as if the man before him was just a perfectly ordinary person.

He couldn't even see any traces of martial arts practice.

"Truly strange!"

Gu Daoyi's gaze paused for a moment, then he looked back at Nangong Qing.

"Fairy, this is..."

Though he found it strange, out of politeness, he still had to ask.

Nangong Qing said unhurriedly and gently, "This is my friend, Ji Yebai!"

"Ji Yebai!?"

Gu Daoyi suddenly looked up, his expression changing slightly.

Being in the Life and Death Realm, he naturally had the right to know many secrets.

He naturally knew about Ji Yebai's affairs.

Emerging from the Void Land and manipulating a fifty-to-sixty-kilometer cosmic warship to accelerate in the Universe.

The impact of that footage was extremely powerful; even he had been shocked.

To think that he had treated such a person as an ordinary man, unable to see any traces of martial cultivation—this... this cultivation Realm was definitely higher than his own!

Returning to Simplicity!

It was definitely a state of Returning to Simplicity!

Immediately.

Gu Daoyi quickly cupped his fists toward Ji Yebai: "Mr. Ji's great name reverberates like thunder. To meet you today is truly the fortune of three lifetimes!"

Ji Yebai also smiled and cupped his fists in return.

After a few more words, Gu Daoyi led the two of them to a residential area.

With mountains behind and water in front, the quiet courtyard was the lodging arranged for Nangong Qing.

But now, with the addition of Ji Yebai, Gu Daoyi found himself in a difficult position.

He hurried to arrange another residence for Ji Yebai, but he was stopped by Nangong Qing.

The courtyard was very large; it was no problem at all for Ji Yebai to stay there.

Giving each person their own courtyard was only because they feared these Life and Death Realm Martial Artists wouldn't be used to living with others.

After all, when a Life and Death Realm's Divine Sense expanded, it covered the sky and earth, and their various senses were extremely sensitive. If two people were too close, it would be easy to disturb one another.

If this were to cause a misunderstanding or resentment, it would not be worth the loss.

"Fairy, Mr. Ji, please rest for a day. I shall take my leave now to arrange other matters!"

Gu Daoyi said politely with cupped fists.

He then turned and left.

...

Security Bureau Headquarters.

As soon as Gu Daoyi returned, Director Tian Lin came to greet him.

"Senior Gu, how was it!?"

Tian Lin only asked after letting Gu Daoyi sit down.

He naturally knew what Gu Daoyi had gone to do!

"Everything went smoothly. Fairy Mingyu has already moved into the courtyard!"

Gu Daoyi picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said.

"Then Senior, did you ask about the matter regarding Molog yesterday!?"

After hearing Gu Daoyi's answer, Tian Lin waited a moment before asking.

Gu Daoyi put down his teacup, looked up at Tian Lin, hesitated slightly, and then slowly shook his head.

Seeing him shake his head, Tian Lin was immediately a bit disappointed.

The matter of Molog was like a thorn, leaving the Security Bureau with a lump in its throat.

Tomorrow, they were to welcome people from a great Family of the Cosmic Civilization, and he was afraid of any accidents.

Whether Molog was suppressed or had escaped, both meant uncontrollable factors that could pose a threat to the stability of the Blue Star Civilization.

Gu Daoyi sighed softly and said, "Mainly, I met someone who surprised me, and it felt somewhat inappropriate, so I didn't press the matter."

Ji Yebai's presence had surprised him, especially that state of Returning to Simplicity, which had distracted him.

A person!?

Tian Lin looked at Gu Daoyi in confusion.

"Senior Gu, what kind of person could make you feel surprised!?"

Gu Daoyi had a wide circle of friends, and the experts of the Life and Death Realm were all figures from his era.

As such, it could be said that Gu Daoyi could exchange a few words with anyone.

Gu Daoyi looked at him and slowly uttered three words.

"Ji Yebai."

"Ji Yebai!?"

Hearing these three words, Tian Lin was momentarily stunned.

He was naturally not unfamiliar with these three words.

Or rather, he was very familiar with them.

In the entire Security Bureau, he was the most interested in Ji Yebai's past data.

"Are you talking about the Ji Yebai from the cosmic warship video ten or so years ago!?"

Tian Lin immediately asked.

Gu Daoyi stroked his beard and nodded: "It's him!"

"This person's appearance hasn't changed; I was able to recognize him!"

"It's just..."

Gu Daoyi frowned.

"Just what!?"

Tian Lin was startled and followed up with a question.

"This person and Fairy Mingyu were acting intimately, without any avoidance. I don't know what their relationship is?!"

Gu Daoyi looked up and said with a solemn expression, "If those people find out about this, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary disputes."

Among Fairy Mingyu's pursuers, there was no lack of those in the Life and Death Realm.

Moreover, that expert ranked second in the world had always been eyeing her like a tiger watching its prey.

Hearing Gu Daoyi's words, Tian Lin was momentarily taken aback.

Then, he smiled.

He said in a relaxed tone, "Senior Gu, you're overthinking it! This Fairy Mingyu has known Mr. Ji since she was a child; the two of them can be considered as close as Family!"

"Oh!?"

"What does that mean!?"

Gu Daoyi looked at Tian Lin with a hint of surprise.

"According to historical records left from the Era of Spiritual Qi Recovery, Fairy Nangong had an older sister who unfortunately passed away later. This Ji Yebai almost became Fairy Nangong's brother-in-Law! Their relationship has been very close since childhood!"

Tian Lin explained with a Face full of confidence.

Older sister!?

Brother-in-Law!?

Gu Daoyi was stunned.

He really didn't know about this.

Even regarding the name Ji Yebai, he knew very little.

Although he was also someone who had lived through the Era of Spiritual Qi Recovery, he was quite embarrassed that, aside from knowing Ji Yebai was the creator of the Longevity Fist, he knew nothing else.

"No wonder!"

Gu Daoyi realized.

Just then, both of their communicators rang.

More top experts were arriving.

Those ranked near the top were received by Gu Daoyi, while those with slightly weaker strength were handled by Tian Lin.

On the way to receive the guests, information about Ji Yebai surfaced in Tian Lin's mind.

"As the world's number two back then, could the matter with Molog have been your doing!?"

Tian Lin's heart was filled with constant speculation.

It was precisely because he understood the recorded data about Ji Yebai from back then that he found Ji Yebai increasingly mysterious.

However, this thought only surfaced for a moment before Tian Lin cast it to the back of his mind.

The possibility was simply too low.

The footage from the warship ten or so years ago was shocking, but someone at the fifth level of the Life and Death Realm could have achieved that level.

Ten or so years was such a short time; even if he had made some progress, he still couldn't possibly match Molog at the Legendary Peak.

Tian Lin's thinking was correct.

But he didn't know that back then, coercing the warship across the Universe was not something Ji Yebai had done intentionally, nor was it his full strength.

That was merely the aftereffect of his interactive cultivation with the Laws of the Universe.

It was just a byproduct of expelling energy.

If he knew this, one could only wonder what he would think.
