Chapter 735: Chapter 508: You Are That Turkey
(I couldn’t hold on anymore, so I went to the hospital first.)
Everyone followed his gaze and just then saw the extraordinary and beautiful Lu Qingxue, which made things clear to them.
The stakes for flirting were quite large, one piece of intelligence was given out for free.
But what impressed others was that at that time, Shentu Yunxiao’s expression remained unchanged, not swayed by Lu Qingxue’s stunning looks.
This attitude of neither servile nor overbearing earned their praises, truly exceptional.
For Shentu Yunxiao, after such a long buildup, the climax had finally arrived, and since he took action, he was determined to give it his all. He spoke now because the timing was just right.
The elder princess of the Lu family had already been quietly listening for over fifteen minutes, which indicated that his intelligence was exactly to her taste.
This was indeed splendid.
Lu Qingxue hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “The family has always been very interested in alien race powers.”
“The topics discussed haven’t gone deep, I might have some more information that would interest you, Ms. Lu, may I continue this conversation in detail?”
Lu Qingxue thought for a moment with lowered eyes, “That would be fine.”
Mu Fan didn’t stop her, it was her freedom; he came for good food and drinks, and he would leave with fruits to harvest, now they just wanted to talk.
He seemingly had no right to stop them.
“This species does not possess the ability for spatial jumps or cosmic travel, and the Zeg, this species, does not conflict with human survival, nor does it pose a threat to mankind. So I believe the Lu family need not worry too much.”
Seeing that Lu Qingxue had agreed to his request, Shentu Yunxiao was in a very good mood and couldn’t help but added a few more words.
“Mu Fan, can you rush over and beat this bluffing chap to death?”
“If Mohandas that old geezer heard this, he might actually rise from his grave to wipe out this bastard!”
Black was already ranting in Mu Fan’s ear; who was this bullshit person, claiming Zeg posed no threat, when a real swarm arrives, it wouldn’t just destroy one planet, but a whole star district!
Zeg wasn’t a structure similar to an ant colony, but a massive system structure that went from the lowest worker ants straight up to mammoth giants! The uniformity of this structure was even more terrifying than ants, its aggressiveness unmatched by any other race in the universe.
Mu Fan gently shook his head, he had already decided not to look for trouble.
However, Shentu Yunxiao’s next sentence made Mu Fan frown, his lowered gaze finally lifted to look forward.
“I wonder what intelligence the Lu family would use to exchange for the information I am about to give?”
After this statement, Mu Fan’s expression finally grew stern; he absolutely couldn’t stand by any longer.
Since it was a trade, if they bought incorrect intelligence, it could be far more disastrous than not receiving the intelligence at all.
“Information about two new routes at the edge of the Third Star District, would that suffice? However, I need detailed recent activity information of the alien species you possess.”
Alien species, these four words were especially emphasized.
As soon as Lu Qingxue finished speaking, there was an uproar.
The Snow Clan’s Lu family actually brought out the news of new routes for exchange, showing that they were not just interested, but extremely interested in what Shentu Yunxiao had said.
As to why they were so interested, it led to much speculation among those present, knowing that each piece of information could potentially lead to important deductions.
Some family’s covert operations might just be exposed like that.
A hint of pleasure emerged in his eyes as Shentu Yunxiao looked at Mu Fan beside him, without revealing his feelings.
“I wonder if the person beside me is a member of the Lu Family. If so, our transaction can continue; if not, I’d prefer not to have a third party present.”
Shentu Yunxiao looked at Mu Fan, who was drinking to himself and seemed out of place ever since he walked in. However, as the only male beside Lu Qingxue, even the smallest threat could not be allowed.
Hearing this, a clear light flashed through Lu Qingxue’s watery eyes, and she glanced at Mu Fan beside her and shook her head.
“I’m afraid our information exchange can’t continue then. This isn’t fair, Miss Lu.”
With his hands spread, Shentu Yunxiao spoke.
At that moment, Mu Fan, who seemed to have become a completely irrelevant character, chuckled lightly, poured himself a glass of Miluo juice, and then watched Shentu Yunxiao.
“I would like to ask Mr. Shentu, the theories about Zeg you mentioned earlier, do they have any practical basis?”
Shentu Yunxiao was stunned by the question, and then burst out laughing, “Of course there is. So, young man, are you testing the authenticity of my information source?”
Mu Fan raised a finger and wiggled it amidst the stares from the people around him.
“I’m not particularly interested in whether it’s true or not; I’m just curious about how you could come to such a conclusion. Do you think Zeg is not a big threat? Many agencies within the Federation are studying alien species, but I doubt anyone has concluded so rashly as you have.”
“Rash? May I ask which faction does this young friend come from? The Shentu Family has its own comprehensive system for intelligence.”
Shentu Yunxiao kept calling him ‘young friend’, but it was clear he was subtly questioning his identity.
“Civilian, currently studying at the academy.” Mu Fan smiled, raising his glass of juice and drinking the tenth cup amid the astonished stares of those around him.
This time Shentu Yunxiao genuinely laughed, realizing he had been speaking at length to a rustic who had somehow slipped in.
“Miss Lu, this is really turning into a joke.” The handsome man looked towards Lu Qingxue, only to find her still wearing a cold expression, unaffected by his words.
“Mu Fan, you continue.”
Finally, with a cold voice, Lu Qingxue spoke, causing the people behind Shentu Yunxiao to exchange glances without making a sound. The elder princess of the Snow Clan, Lu Family, seemed to trust this man immensely.
Shentu Yunxiao suppressed his slight displeasure and looked at Mu Fan, “This is the analysis from the family’s Intelligence Agency: Zeg is merely a native creature from a primitive planet and currently poses no threat to humanity. It is not worth our attention, limited energy should be directed to more meaningful things.”
Mu Fan looked up, finally facing him squarely, but with a look of pity in his smile.
“I once read a book that had a wonderful quote, which I think is quite fitting for Mr. Shentu.”
“There was a turkey farm where the farmer came at eleven o’clock every day to feed them. One of the turkey scientists observed this phenomenon, confirming it for nearly a year without exception, discovering his own cosmic law: ‘Food comes every day at eleven in the morning.’ He announced this law to the turkeys on Thanksgiving morning, but that day at eleven o’clock, no food came; instead, the farmer came in and slaughtered them all.”
“If we assume the world we live in is a turkey’s world, and we exist within this farm, then all our theories are nonexistent.”
After finishing, Mu Fan’s gaze lightly sweeped at Shentu Yunxiao.
Not just the handsome nobleman, but the group around him was also stunned.
“Is this really you, Mu Fan? Calling people turkeys and yet sounding so civilized!”
In the virtual space, Black stopped dancing, evidently stunned by Mu Fan’s abrupt remark.
The implication of his words was terrifyingly direct…
You are that turkey.
