Chapter 132.1 Eldest Senior Brother, don’t be afraid
Editor: Jodi
Although the situation unfolded suddenly, Sima Mingxuan was, after all, a level eight mecha warrior while Cong Yi was a mecha builder, hence their skills were naturally on different levels, so even though Cong Yi had the upper hand by drawing his weapon first, Sima Mingxuan restrained his hand that was holding the gun in a sharp takedown.
“Don’t move, release the Lieutenant Colonel.” Yan Rong, who was following behind Cong Yi reacted quickly, pulling out his sidearm and aiming it at Sima Mingxuan.
“I am Sima Mingxuan of the Sima Legion.” Sima Mingxuan knew that in such a situation, revealing his identity was the only way to break the deadlock.
And sure enough, the moment he said this, both Cong Yi, who he had restrained, and Yan Rong outside the vehicle, as well as the interstellar traffic police, were all shocked. They had heard of Sima Mingxuan. He was the future successor of the Sima Legion, and six months ago, he had even killed a level nine zerg.
“You’re Sima Mingxuan?” Cong Yi asked.
“I am. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Yan Hao.”
Ask Yan Hao? As soon as Sima Mingxuan said this, Cong Yi believed him to a great extent. After all, no kidnapped person would lie for their kidnappers, especially when it was his own little junior brother.
Cong Yi’s gaze turned to Yan Hao, who nodded.
“Why did you kidnap my little junior brother?” Cong Yi didn’t tell his subordinates to stand down.
“I just want to take him away from Z Star Planet.” Sima Mingxuan told him.
With knowledge of Sima Mingxuan’s identity, Cong Yi immediately understood his reason for doing this. When they discovered the spatial black hole on Z Star Planet, their first reaction had been to seek help from the Federation. And as a Major General of one of the Federation’s three major legions and being on Z Star Planet at the time, it was impossible for Sima Mingxuan to not be aware of the situation.
“Cong Yi, have you found him?” Suddenly, an urgent call came from the terminal of Cong Yi’s light brain. It was Colonel Cang Yan who had once again accessed Cong Yi’s communicator forcefully.
“I found him.” Cong Yi replied hurriedly .
“That’s great, hurry and bring him here. The spatial black hole has already started its second expansion.” Just then, shouts came from the other end of the communicator. Cang Yan reiterated the order for Cong Yi to bring the person and then hung up.
At this point, Cong Yi didn’t have time to deal with Sima Mingxuan anymore. Holstering his weapon, he grabbed Yan Hao’s hand and was about to leave the car.
“Wait a moment.” Sima Mingxuan once again held onto Cong Yi’s arm.
“Major General Sima, the situation is urgent right now, so please don’t waste our time.” Cong Yi was anxious to get to the space fortress and seeing Sima Mingxuan blocking his way once again, he really hated that he couldn’t draw his weapon once more.
“Are you planning to take Yan Hao to repair the Tianhe One warship?” Sima Mingxuan also understood the urgency of the situation and got straight to the point.
“That’s right.” Cong Yi nodded.
“Yan Hao is only a sophomore this year and has been studying mecha for less than two years. Do you think he can repair Tianhe One?”
Stunned, Cong Yi looked subconsciously at Yan Hao.
“I can give it a try.” Yan Hao had never worked on Tianhe One before and so didn’t want to make any guarantees.
Give it a try? Cong Yi’s heart sank instantly. Tianhe One wasn’t something that could be repaired by just giving it a try.
Sima Mingxuan continued, “Yan Hao is the heir of the mimetic mecha, a genius in mecha building, his future is limitless. You should understand the immense value of a level ten mecha builder, possibly even a senior mimetic mecha builder, to the Federation. Are you sure you want to leave him on Z Star Planet just because of a slim chance? Do you think your Master, Old Zhong, would agree?”
Sima Mingxuan’s words hit Cong Yi like a thunderbolt, shaking up his thoughts. That’s right, his little junior brother being able to be accepted as a disciple by both his Master and Old Pang spoke volumes about his talent. Did he really want to sacrifice his little junior brother for a slim chance? If he were to die in the attempt, and Master got to know that he was the one who suggested his little junior brother to the military, will the old man forgive him?
Seeing Cong Yi hesitating, Sima Mingxuan was delighted in his heart and was about to add more pressure when his body was suddenly pushed.
“Eldest Senior Brother, don’t listen to him. The decision of whether or not to go to repair Tianhe One is mine.” Yan Hao pushed Sima Mingxuan aside and got out of the car himself.
Cong Yi looked at Yan Hao, his expression still somewhat hesitant.
“Yan Hao, do you really want to die here?” Sima Mingxuan, seeing Yan Hao’s determination to leave, also got out of the car anxiously.
Yan Hao ignored him and continued talking to Cong Yi, “Eldest Senior Brother, if Master finds out I was here but ran away out of fear, how do you think he would think of me?”
If it were him who was fleeing out of fear, their Master would probably just go ahead and kill him himself.
Cong Yi, as Old Zhong’s senior disciple and someone who understood Old Zhong the most, didn’t hesitate any longer. He called out sternly that they should go then ushered everyone onto the boarding ramp.
Sima Mingxuan, seeing as Yan Hao was about to really board the plane, became so anxious that he slammed his fist into the side of the car. Inside the car, Father and Mother Yan as well as Yan Fei were startled by his outburst.
“Are you all just going to stand there like this? Yan Hao is most likely to die once he leaves.” Sima Mingxuan roared out for the first time, not caring about etiquette at this moment. If Yan Hao died, who would heal his mental energy?
Yan Hao continued toward the plane, growing farther away with each step. Lu Siying, startled back into sanity by Sima Mingxuan’s roar, looked at Yan Hao who was getting further and further away and thinking that his next step might be a goodbye forever, felt a dull pain spread in her heart.
“Yan Hao, come back.” Lu Siying rushed out of the car and shouted in his direction, however Yan Hao never turned to look back at her, not even once, until the plane departed.
“Wen Yao!” Lu Siying turned to her husband, and Yan Wenyao had a complex expression on his face as he looked in the direction in which the plane had disappeared.
“Mingxuan, let’s hurry to the harbour. The news has already spread online and a large number of people are rushing there.” Yan Fei said urgently to Sima Mingxuan.
Sima Mingxuan looked at him, feeling an inexplicable irritation. However reason told him repeatedly that he still needed him, especially to prepare medications, especially when Yan Hao might not return.
“Let’s go.” Sima Mingxuan sat back in the car.
Yan Fei got out of the car, guided his dazed mother back inside gently then the car continued on its way to the harbour.
