Chapter 1078: Chapter 1078: Star Era Guide (28)
Master Yin Er didn’t know what he saw, but suddenly swore aloud and rushed over.
Chuzheng looked in his direction and saw that Master Yin Er had stopped in front of a mecha in the corner, grabbing a person in work clothes standing before the mecha and emotionally arguing.
Chuzheng looked at that mecha.
It was an entirely black mecha, now powered down, standing quietly like a silent beast.
The screen in front of the mecha was playing footage of it.
It was on a cruise battleship in the universe, the black mecha seemed to come breaking through the cosmos; it used to be a sword standing on the battlefield.
A sword that made enemies fear.
–
Chuzheng’s gaze swept to Jing Lan at the back of the crowd.
He was sitting on the steps at the edge, his head raised to look at the mecha, his expression indescribably desolate or sad.
One person and one machine, silently opposing, each solitary.
Master Yin Er caused a commotion, attracting many people’s attention.
“Isn’t this Zhou Jue?”
“The mecha that Jing Lan used to pilot?”
“Isn’t it just that.”
Because the mecha was placed in the corner, among those bright and obviously attractive mechas in the middle, it was somewhat unnoticeable.
But now everyone’s attention was drawn to it, and someone immediately recognized it.
“Why is it placed here? Is it being publicly auctioned?”
“Jing Family is a bit unfair here…”
“Why doesn’t Jing Family use it themselves?”
“Use it themselves? Dare they? Jing Lan has been expelled from the Jing Family, and he has no spiritual power. If Jing Family keeps it, isn’t it making people remember Jing Lan’s story every time they see it and pointing fingers?”
“That’s true…”
People chatted noisily.
Master Yin Er didn’t know what he was arguing with the other side about, but jumped angrily, pointing and cursing.
After finishing the argument, Master Yin Er’s face was puffed up with anger.
He might have seen Jing Lan and ran over.
“Did you agree to this?”
Jing Lan stood up, casually brushed off his clothes, “Do I still need to agree?”
Master Yin Er cursed angrily, “Jing Family, this gang of hooligans! Zhou Jue is yours! How dare they sell it!”
“Doesn’t matter. Anyway, I can’t pilot it anymore.”
When he left Jing Family, he took nothing with him.
Including this mecha that he had painstakingly obtained and had grown with him.
He wanted to take it.
But the Jing Family people knew he’d left cleanly, broke, carrying debt, yet set a high price.
How can someone who’s lost spiritual power, a useless person unable to even start a mecha, take it back from their hands?
“Why aren’t you worried at all!” Master Yin Er was like an Emperor not anxious about a eunuch, glaring angrily at Jing Lan, “This mecha has been with you all along! Confront them! When you brought them glory, they treated you like a god, and now they treat you like this, I can’t stand it!”
Jing Lan’s eyelashes slightly lowered, Zhou Jue slowly disappeared from his sight, “It can find a better owner, that’s good.”
Jing Lan turned to leave.
Leaving without hesitating.
But only he knew how he felt.
His past.
His glory.
Everything ended.
–
Master Yin Er couldn’t stop him, stomped in frustration.
Chuzheng came back with something, saw Master Yin Er staring at Zhou Jue alone, as if Zhou Jue had betrayed Jing Lan.
“Where’s Jing Lan?”
“He’s gone.” Master Yin Er glanced at the items in Chuzheng’s hand; it was the purchase application for mechas, which needed to be filled out to participate in the upcoming mecha auction.
Master Yin Er’s eyes spun around, “You want to buy a mecha? Which one?”
Master Yin Er assumed the wealthy would definitely buy the fancy ones, he ought to persuade the rich.
The mechas here absolutely start in the billions.
Recently having his economic power controlled by his old man, Master Yin Er couldn’t afford it.
But if his brother had it in his hands, he could buy it back for Jing Lan when he had money in the future!
Even if he couldn’t buy it back, it would be better than falling into someone else’s hands.
Real brothers!
These are definitely real brothers!
Chuzheng pointed with her chin at the black mecha not far away.
Master Yin Er was taken aback, then slapped his thigh moments later, “Great eye, wealthy one!! You won’t get a bad deal nor be deceived!!”
The spoiled young master got startled, catching Chuzheng off guard; it was hard to keep her face composed.
I just want to complete a task and conveniently buy it back for the Good Person Card.
–
Chuzheng finished the paperwork, and Master Yin Er worried she’d back out, hurriedly used his privileges as a spoiled young master to help her with the procedures.
Chuzheng intended to find Jing Lan but instead saw Xie Wanwan.
Xie Wanwan was following an elder, alongside a finely dressed woman, the atmosphere seemed harmonious.
They were stopping to look at a mecha, the woman said something that made Xie Wanwan laugh shyly.
Xie Wanwan is quite impressive.
Has she already infiltrated the Wun Family?
Old Madam Wun was somewhat tired, glanced at the obviously still eager Xie Wanwan, “You accompany Wanwan to look, I’ll sit over there for a bit.”
Mother Wun responded, “Mom, take it easy.”
Old Madam Wun was strong and healthy, waved her hand indicating they should go look.
She slowly climbed up that row of steps.
From afar, she saw a girl standing on the steps, looking expressionless over this way.
Although Old Madam Wun had only seen that photo once, she recognized her immediately.
This is the girl Wun Qing mentioned.
Old Madam Wun’s heart surged with excitement, completely forgetting Wun Qing’s warnings, walked right over, “Are you Chuzheng?”
Chuzheng hadn’t expected Old Madam Wun to suddenly approach, took three seconds before answering with an ‘mm’.
“Look… really looks like…”
Old Madam Wun’s eyes seemed to glimmer, unable to suppress the excitement in her heart, her fingers trembling.
Even more so than in the photo.
No wonder Wun Qing said so.
“Looks like what?”
“Like your father.” Old Madam Wun blurted out, regretting a bit, afraid to scare her, “I didn’t mean that… Has Wun Qing ever contacted you? Said anything to you? I… am…”
Old Madam Wun was somewhat incoherent, expressing herself very unclear.
Wun Qing had contacted her a few times, but she hadn’t met him.
The first reason was that leaving the campus was troublesome.
The second was Wun Qing talked a lot of nonsense.
But judging by this, Old Madam Wun knew…
Then why is Xie Wanwan still with them?
“Wealthy one, all set.” Master Yin Er came over with the items, “Just wait for the auction in three days, Grandma Wun?”
Master Yin Er looked dumbfoundedly at the woman in front of him and the wealthy one again.
These two… who have nothing to do with each other, how are they standing together talking?
Old Madam Wun had already calmed down a bit when Master Yin Er came over, “Yin Er, what are you doing here?”
“…”
Master Yin Er resented being called Yin Er.
He had once expressed strong dissatisfaction, but these people remember him only as the second of the Yin Family, left a Yin Er, right a Yin Er…
