Chapter 732: Chapter 505: Humans?
Mu Fan naturally noticed the expressions in the eyes of the two old butlers, but he ignored them due to the basic spirit of the contract and followed Lu Qingxue onto the spaceship.
The interior of the private spaceship was divided into two compartments, where Lu Qingxue sat with her back straight, which seemed incongruous with the luxurious atmosphere.
The two butlers did not follow them into the cabin but sat in the outer compartment.
When the thick soundproof cabin door closed, the outside noise completely disappeared.
Mu Fan thought for a moment and said, “These two… butlers don’t seem very friendly, do they?”
“Don’t mind them.”
Hearing these calm and cool words, Mu Fan felt a bit sad at the moment.
He had already ignored them, but why, he wondered.
“I have made some decisions on my own, which, in their view, have already affected their established family development strategy, so they are not very satisfied with me, and not very friendly to you either.”
Finally, Lu Qingxue explained, as Mu Fan’s expression was too perplexing.
So that was it…
Mu Fan exhaled, no wonder.
“Is every large family this complicated? If it weren’t for what I saw today, I couldn’t have associated you with a wealthy family.”
Hearing Mu Fan’s words, a flicker passed through Lu Qingxue’s calm eyes as she looked at him.
“I don’t know if my decision was right or wrong, but I need your help with this matter. Having heard your thoughts, I think I understand some things, that is, I wish to freely… do the things I love.”
“Family matters are complex, and it’s inconvenient to say more, but this time I hope you can help me, thank you.”
After speaking, Lu Qingxue, sitting upright, bowed slightly to Mu Fan, which surprised him.
So formal? And Lu Qingxue’s words seemed rich in content, although due to some concerns, she hadn’t elaborated.
Mu Fan squinted slightly, didn’t ask further, but nodded, “For both public and personal reasons, I will help, but can you now tell me what the meeting is about?”
“Of course. This meeting is a mutual information exchange session where representatives of various elite forces gather at the space station to exchange information they possess; it’s a family tradition.”
In this enclosed space, Mu Fan could even smell the faint and tranquil scent on her body, feeling that the content of Lu Qingxue’s words now seemed much more than before.
This also made Mu Fan feel that Lu Qingxue was somewhat more personable at the moment.
“Since that’s the case, it seems I don’t have any connection with your family. Wouldn’t it be inappropriate for me to go?”
“There’s nothing inappropriate, as this isn’t an internal family meeting, and you can still participate in talks if you have the information.”
“It seems unnecessary for me to come along… although I still would like those ten fruits.”
“At the right time, hearing your words made me decide that perhaps it’s possible to start doing something to try and initiate change. And you just so happened to make a request, thus resulting in this natural trade outcome. If any element was missing, it wouldn’t have happened this way.”
Though she still looked cold outwardly, Lu Qingxue’s words were gentle and serene.
“That is… quite philosophical.”
At this moment, Mu Fan felt that Lu Qingxue’s words, full of dialectical thinking, had completely overwhelmed him.
“Senior Sister, were your cultural studies marks really good?”
“I self-studied seventeen courses, with an average GPA of 3.9, and for two consecutive years, I was the recipient of a first-class scholarship from the academy.”
Mu Fan: …
Awkwardly rubbing his nose, he felt he had asked a wrong question. A perfect GPA is 4.0, and Lu Qingxue’s average being 3.9 was not just good; it was phenomenal.
Outside the transparent porthole, clouds sped past, and in the blink of an eye, they broke through the cloud layer.
Above the clouds was endless brightness, but looking further up, it was as if entering a profound night sky that grew denser.
This was also the first time since coming to Blue Capital Star that he had boarded a private spaceship with such a superior view and burst through the atmosphere.
Soon, as the spaceship traveled, Mu Fan saw countless space stations of various sizes rotating and flying along their fixed trajectories.
The spaceship began to adjust its speed for synchronized flight.
“We’re almost there.”
Mu Fan keenly noticed a slight change in Lu Qingxue’s pupils when she spoke.
He couldn’t help but pay attention, as it seemed this gathering was important to her.
If that was the case, even if only for the sake of her cold mask and guarded secrets, he would earnestly help her.
Finally, Mu Fan felt the resistance on his body, which was the deceleration of the high-speed flying vessel.
After a slight tremor, through the porthole, Mu Fan saw the spaceship had landed on a vast landing pad.
This landing pad, unlike the previous lawn, was entirely metallic, a vast platform constructed from blue-gleaming metal, with a row of neatly docked spaceships of various sizes, colors, and models beyond sight.
However, one aspect was the same… clearly, these were all private spaceships, bearing unfamiliar crests of various colors engraved on the hulls.
“What pattern is your family crest?” Mu Fan suddenly asked.
At that moment, Lu Qingxue was just getting up, beneath her tidy white coat, her limbs were strong yet delicate and beautifully shaped.
“A twisted black hole. Why?”
Lu Qingxue replied indifferently.
“No reason, just curious.”
Mu Fan never expected the Lu Family’s crest to be so bizarre.
“Miss Qingxue, we’ve arrived.”
Two butlers opened the inner hatch, speaking respectfully.
“Um.”
As Mu Fan set foot on the space station’s surface, he inhaled the artificially created atmosphere within the protective shield and found a subtle marking next to the private spaceship’s engine.
No superfluous colors, just a dark vortex that, paired with the badge on the periphery, seemed like an eye scrutinizing everything in the depth of the cosmos at first glance.
A strange badge.
Mu Fan formed a definition in his mind.
Space Station Number 37 distinctly differed in size and shape from the nearby facilities.
The station entirely resembled a flat compass, but it was hollowed out into three broad space bridges, connecting to an outer ring of landing pads.
Three space bridges emanated upwards from the perimeter, forming three uncompleted metal branches.
Above Mu Fan, there was a spherical shield spreading upward from the edge.
From afar, Space Station Number 37 looked much like a half-open, metallic flower.
The space station was built so magnificently that it was breathtaking, which made Mu Fan even more curious about the nature of this gathering.
“Please do not move, verifying identities.”
A track robot, less than one meter tall, appeared next to the spaceship, its green eyes projecting a 3D light for scanning.
“Identification successful, welcome member—Lu Qingxue. You may designate one accompanying person to enter.”
Hearing this, Lu Qingxue turned to look at Mu Fan, who gently nodded.
The two followed the robot across the long space bridge.
In the central part, a three-tiered arched fortress-like structure was the true embodiment of the space station, housing humans.
“Oh, two more humans have arrived.”
As the last ring door opened, transitioning from darkness to light, Mu Fan happened to hear the strange cadence of the Federation language near his ear.
He couldn’t help but frown and look in that direction.
He hadn’t misheard the term…
Humans?
