198: Chapter 198 Fang Jing Emerges from Seclusion, Young Eagle Star Tourist Group
At night.
In the main bedroom of the Fang Family, Fang Zhuo, whose combat power had reached the Flying Sky Peak, returned home half an hour early. After being intimate with Bai Shiwei, he looked at the woman limp in his arms:
"Wife, I've signed you up for a tour group. You should prepare to take our parents, the children, grandparents, and younger siblings to Chuying Planet for half a year."
"Go to Chuying Planet?"
In the afterglow, Bai Shiwei's breathing had yet to steady, and upon hearing this, her heart skipped a few beats.
At this juncture, with the Civilization Assessment approaching, there was no need to overthink the motive behind Fang Zhuo asking her to take the Family to Chuying Planet.
"I will give you the route. You can travel along the way and just make sure to reach Heishui City before the Civilization Assessment. If the Civilization Assessment fails and the Federation is downgraded, I will come to find you immediately. Director Song has left a contingency plan, and I will take a group of people to leave the Federation."
Fang Zhuo hugged Bai Shiwei's slender waist, his arm tightening slightly. His speech was a bit disorganized, but his tone was very calm.
"Director Song will let you take people to leave the Federation...?"
Bai Shiwei was stunned, her mind in a bit of a daze.
However, leaning against Fang Zhuo's solid chest, feeling the warmth of the large hand on her waist, and hearing Fang Zhuo's calm tone, she was instantly reassured.
"Yes, if the Federation is downgraded, before the Cosmic Martial Artist masters of the Universe acquire the Federation's seven life planets and complete their control, we Martial Artists below the level of Cosmic Martial Artist still have a window of time to leave the Federation."
Fang Zhuo explained.
"But... without a Cosmic Martial Artist leading the team, even if we leave the Federation, where can we survive in the vast Universe?"
Thinking of their two children who couldn't even walk yet, a look of worry appeared on Bai Shiwei's face.
Could it be that they would have to spend the rest of their lives on a cosmic adventure ship?
She herself would be fine, but the two newborn children... they hadn't truly seen the world yet; such a fate would be too cruel.
"Director Song left behind cultivation resources sufficient for me to achieve a Breakthrough to Cosmic Martial Artist. Once we are far from the Federation, the Universe is vast, and I can go on adventures. Once I become a true powerhouse in the Universe, we can return to the Blue Moon Federation, redeem the seven life planets, and let the children return home."
Fang Zhuo held Bai Shiwei's hand, gently kneading it.
"...Yes, Husband, I'm still a little scared."
Bai Shiwei curled up her long legs, burying herself completely in Fang Zhuo's arms.
"Don't be afraid, this Seed Plan is just a contingency plan. Our Federation might not necessarily lose the Civilization Assessment; perhaps the Federation can even be promoted to a Level 3 civilization!"
Fang Zhuo rubbed Bai Shiwei's delicate palms and smiled: "By then, as citizens of an elementary Level 3 civilization, our children will have the opportunity to go to a medium-level civilization for education!"
"Go to a medium-level civilization for education?"
Bai Shiwei widened her beautiful eyes.
"Yes, just think of it as us getting into a top-tier martial arts university like Mo Wu during our martial arts exams."
Fang Zhuo smiled and explained to Bai Shiwei. He had only recently learned about the classification of cosmic civilization levels from the Federation's Cosmic Martial Artists.
Including all kinds of common knowledge about the Universe.
Most of it came from the materials Chairman Song Shou gave him, and a small part came from chatting with Chairwoman Zhao Nianzhen.
"By the way, Husband, when does this 'tour group' you signed up for depart? Xiao Jing is still in seclusion for cultivation at the Li Family, and there hasn't been any news lately."
Bai Shiwei had a strong ability to digest information.
"Xiao Jing hasn't emerged from seclusion yet?"
Fang Zhuo was surprised, "I'll make time to go to the Li Family in the next two days to ask the head of the Li Family. The tour group is set for the end of the month, and it involves many people, so it's not easy to change the time."
This tour group was naturally not a legitimate tour group.
It was a special arrangement made by Chairman Song Shou that would gather the Federation's high-level officials, the families of Cosmic Martial Artists, top-tier Flying Sky experts, and some promising Geniuses along a set route, and then, like a regular tour group, they would travel all the way to Heishui City on Chuying Planet.
"Okay."
Bai Shiwei pursed her lips and said: "You must bring Xiao Jing back. Sigh, if such a thing happens, there will be no meaning in her continuing to cultivate the Martial Dao."
"Rest assured, let's sleep."
Fang Zhuo hugged the warm softness in his arms, reached out to turn off the bedside lamp, and then pulled up the quilt to wrap them both.
...
The next day.
Before Fang Zhuo left the house to go to the Xinyue Li Family, Fang Dawei called out to him.
"Grandson."
"Grandpa?"
"There is something I have been thinking about for a long time, and I still want to tell you."
Fang Dawei was a bit restless and hesitant in his speech: "Your grandmother's aunt, the former head of the Flying Sky Family, the Li Family, came to see me not long ago."
"Oh?"
"What did she want with you, Grandpa?"
When Grandma Li Lan had previously found him at the Fang Family in Jinhe City, she had been overflowing with pride when mentioning this head of the Li Family.
Li Zhiyi seemed to be an extremely arrogant woman.
Taking the initiative to come to their door to see his grandfather could absolutely not be because of his own influence, wanting to use that to curry favor. Most likely, considering the background of the Civilization Assessment, she had caught wind of something.
Did she want to beg for one or two spots in the Seed Plan for the Li Family?
"She said she hopes you can meet her."
Fang Dawei sighed.
Li Zhiyi wanting to see Fang Zhuo must mean she had something to ask for. He originally didn't want to mention it; on one hand, Fang Zhuo needed to prepare for the Civilization Assessment, and on the other hand, he didn't have much affection for Li Zhiyi.
But thinking of the face of his late wife, Fang Dawei still softened.
"About that... then Grandpa, you don't need to worry. I was just about to go to the Li Family to see Xiao Jing, pay respects to Grandma, and I'll see her while I'm at it."
Fang Zhuo smiled.
...
The Li Family.
As a former prestigious noble Family of New Moon, the Li Family courtyard was built quite grandly, covering an area of over 1,000 square meters in the prime location of the center of Xinyue City.
Fang Zhuo stood in front of the Li Family gate, with the sound of traffic passing behind him. The open Li Family courtyard in front of him occasionally blew out wisps of cold wind, stirring up large patches of withered yellow leaves.
The large lions visible on the left and right sides, carved from unknown stone, looked lifelike.
"These two large lions are quite impressive."
Fang Zhuo thought to himself, if the Civilization Assessment goes smoothly, later he should also buy a plot of land in Xinyue City and build a large courtyard of his own.
It must be one with three courtyards! And hire a few pure college girls as maids...
"Fang Zhuo."
Grandma Li Lan arrived panting and said: "I'm a little late, sorry. Just in time, as soon as you arrived, the girl Fang Jing emerged from seclusion. Let's go in together; she is with Aunt Li Zhiyi."
Fang Jing had emerged from seclusion... This was quite a coincidence. Thinking about this little girl having been in bitter seclusion for over a year, he wondered what she had managed to cultivate by now?
Fang Zhuo was a bit curious, and then politely called out:
"Grandma Li."
Grandma Li Lan nodded and led Fang Zhuo through the front courtyard, arriving at the Li Family's main hall.
"Aunt Zhiyi, Fang Zhuo is here."
Grandma Li Lan introduced him to the woman in the main seat.
The woman sitting in the main seat heard the voice, flicked her sleeve with her wrist, turned her head, raised her eyes, narrowed them slightly, and swept her gaze toward Fang Zhuo.
Before Li Zhiyi could even speak, Fang Jing, who had been bouncing around like a flea beside her, immediately shouted and rushed out.
"Brother!"
"I've reached the Extraordinary level!"
