Chapter 156
The invisible spaceship disappeared from everyone's sight, and then, a huge air wave was raised out of thin air. A white line suddenly appeared in the air, extending straight to the sky. A cone-shaped white cloud condensed into a ball and did not dissipate for a long time.
Lin Qingsi did not watch the spaceship leave. He went down the mountain in advance. When the white line suddenly appeared on the distant mountain, passers-by on the street thought it was a meteorological wonder and started to shout and rush to take pictures. Lin Qingsi turned his head to stare at the endless white line. His lips moved slightly and he whispered, "Take care... Goodbye."
Landia Empire, Xilan Star.
In the airport 38,000 meters above the ground, various large and small spaceships come and go, and it is very lively; several huge elevators go up and down, shuttling through the clouds, allowing people to travel between the ground and the airport. As a planet with highly developed commerce and tourism, and connected to nearly ten interstellar routes, Xilan Star's airport has a considerable capacity, comparable to an important port on the ground. Even in the era of the Star Interstellar Alliance, such a scene is rare.
After obtaining a pass, a silver-white spaceship quietly moored in the airport. After a brief environmental monitoring of air pressure balance, the door of the spaceship was gently opened, and a group of people walked down one after another. They looked around with curiosity, from the airport buildings to the styles of various spaceships, from ordinary shops to the floating cars passing by, any small thing would cause a burst of amazement, and the words "country bumpkin" were almost written on their faces. However, for those who work in Xilan Star Port, they see many such people every day, so no one deliberately mocked them, but they unconsciously revealed a faint sense of superiority in their expressions.
This group of people all came from Zhongwu Star. Although Zhongwu Star has begun to explore the space star field, it is still far behind Xilan Star. The huge differences in all aspects amazed everyone. Even if some people tried hard to stay calm and composed, their shining eyes still revealed their inner emotions.
Behind them, Luo Er was saying goodbye to Rong Yuan. The boy, who had grown a lot taller, now looked somewhat mature. Although he was sad, he still maintained his demeanor, but his eyes were slightly red.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaohu rushed over and hugged Rong Yuan, crying: "Brother Xiaoyuan... I... I can't bear to leave you... We just met not long ago, why do we have to separate again..."
The boy's eyes were swollen from crying, tears were dripping down his face, and his nose was covered with snot bubbles like a child. He looked extremely pitiful.
The people behind him looked at each other, somewhat at a loss. They were all Mu Xiaohu's friends, but they had only heard of Rong Yuan in the past and were not familiar with each other. Except for the beginning, they had basically been in hibernation all the way from Zhongwu Star, and there was no chance to get to know each other. Seeing Mu Xiaohu crying pitifully, he didn't know whether he should go up to comfort him.
"Well, all good things must come to an end. You're going to attend the First Military Academy soon, so be happy."
Rong Yuan touched Mu Xiaohu's head and said helplessly.
Although Mu Xiaohu and his partner had been in Zhongwu Star for more than three years, only half a year had passed in Landia. Mu Xiaohu missed the deadline to report to the First Military Academy last year, but his admission qualification can still be retained for another year. If he leaves now, he can just catch up with the registration time for new students this year.
As the head of the Dumont family, although Lor has his own mature mechanism to maintain the normal operation of the family and prevent any major changes from happening due to his absence, it is not appropriate for him to be away for a long time without any contact. This time the two of them just happened to go back together.
As for the friends that Mu Xiaohu brought with him, there are special immigration registration offices on transit stars like Xilan Star. There are countless planets in the vast star field of Landia that lack sufficient manpower to develop. Therefore, Landia has always maintained an attitude of accepting all interstellar immigrants from primary civilizations, and provides slightly different welfare policies based on the different immigration planets they choose, but the conditions are very good. In addition, they also have a friend who entered the best military academy in the empire. Students who graduated from the First Military Academy start as mid-level officers, which is enough to provide them with sufficient shelter and security in the future.
Mu Xiaohu wiped his tears and snot, sniffed, and said with a sob: "Brother Xiaoyuan, I actually have a lot of things to tell you! Will you...will you...come to the college to see me in the future?"
"Probably... not..."
"Ah?" Mu Xiaohu, who originally just wanted to hear a word of comfort, was stunned by such a ruthless answer. After a long while, he stammered, "...No? Why? Forget it, then...it's the same if I come to see you! I will write to you often, Xiaoyuan, remember to write back to me!"
"Well..." Rong Yuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, I will write back. But if one day I have to go somewhere very far away, I may not be able to write back to you. Of course, I will definitely tell you in advance when I leave."
"Very far away... very far away? How far?" Mu Xiaohu blinked, a little confused.
In this era where quantum communication has been achieved in most star regions of the Milky Way, how far away can one be to lose contact? Could it be other primitive planets like Zhongwu Star in the dark star region?
Beside him, Lor suddenly seemed to have thought of something, opened his eyes wide in surprise and looked at Rong Yuan.
Rong Yuan smiled, but didn't answer. He patted the two men on the shoulders and said, "The elevator over there has arrived. Hurry up and go. If you miss this one, you will have to wait a long time. Go ahead."
So Luo Er swallowed what he was about to say, and Mu Xiaohu stopped asking questions. The dark-skinned boy hugged Rong Yuan tightly again, and left, looking back every few steps; Luo Er bowed and walked beside him; the others imitated Luo Er and bowed in a not-so-standard way, and hurriedly followed the two to the elevator. Rong Yuan watched them leave, and suddenly felt a little disappointed.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaohu, who had already walked away, turned around, waved his hands vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Brother Xiaoyuan, thank you! Have a safe journey! I will miss you, and you must not forget me!"
Although there were many people at the airport, they were well-organized and polite, and not noisy. Suddenly, in the silence, a series of hoarse roars broke out, and everyone looked over in astonishment. The entire airport seemed to be paused for a moment.
Luo Er's face flushed red, and he dragged Mu Xiaohu, who was about to say something, into the elevator quickly. The boy was still struggling and shouted loudly: "Take care of yourself, don't get hurt again... Some people are very bad, don't be too soft-hearted... If you come back one day, don't forget to come and see me... Brother Xiaoyuan, I like you very much... Not that kind of like, but I really like you very much..."
The rest of the words were blocked by the closed elevator door. A few seconds later, a burst of hilarious laughter rang out in the airport.
So Rong Yuan couldn't help laughing.
