At sunset, the Xi family is located in the mansion in the capital city of Xingsig.

Xi Lan is sitting in the courtyard. He has no plans to go out today, so he only wears a light-colored shirt, with a pair of goggles on the bridge of his nose, and is seriously debugging the data on the portable optical brain.

Not far from the corridor, a servant came over with tea, Xi Lan focused on his own affairs, and said softly without raising his head, "Just leave it alone."

The servant hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master, the young master of the Yi family is here."

His fingertips stopped on a certain key of the optical brain, Xi Lan raised his head, took off his glasses and said to the servant, "I'll go over now."

After he said this, he just got up when someone walked over to the corridor, and said with a smile: "It's been so long, it seems that you haven't changed from before."

The man's footsteps were not slow, and when he finished speaking, he was already in front of Xi Lan, his eyes narrowed slightly because of the evening sun, and he raised his right hand in a greeting gesture.

Xi Lan laughed because of his appearance, walked over and hugged him again.

The guest who came was Yi Xing. Since the last time the barren star separated, the two have not seen each other again. Later, when Xi Lan returned from the barren star, he immediately found someone to contact Yi Xing, only to know that Yi Xing had left the capital star and was in the north. Traveling in the star field, and now it has been two full months since Xi Lan returned from the barren star, the two talents finally met for real.

After hugging, Yi Xing let go of Xi Lan, looked at it carefully before frowning and said, "Why does it seem to have lost a lot of weight?"

Xi Lan didn't respond to this sentence, and ordered the servants around him to leave, and he and Yi Xing sat down in the courtyard.

There were only the two of them left in the courtyard, Xi Lan was about to turn off the light brain, but Yi Xing stopped him, glanced at the contents of his light brain, and whispered: "I went to another star field some time ago, and I came back. I only heard the news after that, I heard that a lot of things have happened on the capital star side recently, right?"

Xi Lan looked up at him: "What are you talking about?"

"I heard that a professor from Hei'e Star entered the Desolate Star underground city, discovered the Desolate Star civilization thousands of years ago, and got back a lot of antiquities. Now he is planning to conduct research based on those things."

Seeing Xi Lan nodded, Yi Xing said in surprise, "Is this true?"

Xi Lan didn't answer immediately, he led Yi Xing to his room, then opened the cabinet and found a chip and handed it to Yi Xing: "I wanted to give it to you before, it is the record I made about the underground city. , although many things cannot be completely restored, but I think it should be helpful to your book."

This was something Xi Lan had promised Yi Xing a long time ago. Although Yi Xing had already guessed it, he still screamed in shock when he heard what he said. He quickly took out his personal terminal and the chip Put it in it, and after seeing the content inside, he finally lost his words completely, and was shocked by the content inside.

Xi Lan didn't bother him and waited patiently beside him, just like when he first saw the whole picture of Silver Feather City. Although the content in the chip is only a half-restored virtual model based on what he saw before, but It was enough to make Yi Xing spend a long time in amazement.

Fortunately, Yi Xing did not forget the purpose of his visit today. After watching it for a while, he put away the chip, forcibly removed his mind from the desolate star civilization, and turned around to ask Xi Lan: "So the professor named Qiyi from Hee Xing said: Is it true?"

Xi Lan said: "It was true that we walked with him at that time."

Yi Xing made up his mind, and after a long time he shook his head with a wry smile: "It's a pity that I couldn't take a look at such a place in person."

"There will be a chance." Xi Lan said it like a joke.

Yi Xing glanced at Xi Lan more because of this sentence, and probably guessed the reason why he said this, and then he asked: "So your preparation for the past two months is also true? I heard people say it before. I don't believe it, do you really want to join Professor Qiyi's team to study the source spar?"

Xi Lan does not deny: "I prepared like this."

Yi Xing reluctantly spread his hands: "You don't know how unreliable this matter is, the thing that Ya female named Qi Yi said about the source spar is too mythical, saying that that kind of power can control no one Mecha, can support the circuit of the entire tower in the underground city, and can also make the Zerg unable to control the Huayi, few in the entire Federation will believe this kind of thing..."

"It's true." Xi Lan interrupted Yi Xing gently.

Yi Xing opened his eyes slightly. He was skeptical of rumors. Even if the news came from a researcher, he would never doubt Xi Lan's words.

But he still felt incredible, he stared at Xi Lan, and after a while he said with a complicated expression: "Even if it's true, just based on what you said, no one will believe it, not to mention that this technology has not been realized yet, then How can the old guys agree to spend so many resources on such a shadowless thing?"

Xi Lan seemed to have guessed that Yi Xing would say something like this, and nodded: "That's why I want to join. They won't believe Professor Qiyi, but at least my identity can play a role."

Yi Xing was at a loss for words, and just wanted to know what the other party was thinking: "Your own problems have not been solved yet, your identity is so sensitive, and now I can't wait for you to stay at home every day with people on the third and third floors. Guard, you still dare to take this kind of thing, you really..."

"Only in this way can I see a little bit of hope." Xi Lan had already seen through Yi Xing's mind, "Besides, you went to the Northern Star Region for so long, isn't it because you wanted to find records about Desolate Star from there?"

Yi Xing covered his eyes: "How can it be the same, there is no danger in my case."

"Trust me." Xi Lan said to Yi Xing, "I also want to use this research to end other things."

When Xi Lan said this, of course he had no intention of changing his mind. Since Yi Xing couldn't persuade him, of course he could only compromise. Finally, after drinking tea in Xi Lan's room, he was anxious to read the records in Xi Lan's chip. content, and plan to leave soon.

Before going out, Yi Xing dawdled for a while, Xi Lan had been waiting since he entered the room, and at this time he finally couldn't bear it any longer.

Yi Xing held on to the door frame and didn't go out for a long time. He turned around and asked Xi Lan, "That..."

Xi Lan smiled and said, "If you want to ask, just ask, why are you embarrassed?"

"I just think it's not like me." Yi Xing had never cared about any female before, and was always free to come and go, but now he finally couldn't hold back and asked, "How is Wojia doing now? ?"

Xi Lan told Yi Xing Wojia's current situation. When he was talking, he saw the other party's right hand on the neckline. Only then did he notice that there was a silver chain hanging on Yi Xing's neck, and there was no need to think about what was on the chain. can already know.

It was the ring that Wojia was going to give to Yi Xing, but was accidentally taken away by Yi Xing.

Xi Lan told the other party what happened on the desolate star after Yi Xing left. The latter always listened quietly and did not interrupt when he spoke. When he heard it finally, he rubbed the ring in his hand through the clothes, feeling a little nostalgic. Authentic: "That time was really interesting."

Xi Lan also smiled: "Yeah, it's more interesting than Capital Star."

Yi Xing stared at Xi Lan's smile and couldn't help shaking her head.

The Moon of the Federation seems to always have a soft smile on his face, but who knows when he was really happy last time.

Yi Xing didn't say much, just waved his hands to pack up and said goodbye to Xi Lan.

Xi Lan stood outside the door to say goodbye to Yi Xing. When he turned back, he found that the attendant was waiting in the distance. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time, but he never dared to come forward because he did not dare to disturb them.

After noticing the other party, Xi Lan nodded slightly and asked the other party to come over.

The attendant received Xi Lan's order, and quickly stepped forward and said, "Master, Mr. Mayor sent a message earlier, saying that he would like to invite you to this year's Bright Day Gala."

When Xi Lan heard this, she glanced at the date on the terminal sideways, with a little more surprise in her eyes, and then laughed again: "It turns out that this time has come."

·

At the same time, the capital city of Nitz.

A gray spaceship that looked a little dilapidated stopped at the port of Nyx City.

The spaceship was docked, and the staff waited for a long time below but did not see the hatch open. This spaceship clearly has the Federal Capital Star's pass certificate, but I don't know why it doesn't look like a merchant ship or a passenger ship. I don't know what it is carrying. what kind of character.

If the staff of Nyz City had read the wanted information from a few years ago, they would have recognized that this was actually a very famous pirate ship.

——The Tulip from the Eternal Night Sails Pirate Organization from the Delta Star Region.

The owner of the spaceship dawdled for a long time, and the staff at the airport below also waited for a long time. When everyone's neck was about to break, the spaceship's hatch finally opened from the inside, and the escalator came out from the hatch, but no one was waiting. When the escalator fell, he jumped down directly.

The one who jumped down was a tall female with slightly dark skin, wearing an out-of-time dirty short-sleeved shirt, with bulging muscles supporting a thin coat, and many scars from old wounds could be seen on the exposed arm skin. .

He jumped down and looked around, then raised his head and shouted at the hatch: "What are you two waiting for, get down quickly."

At the hatch, Yin Ze and Yan were talking there.

Hearing Wo Jia's shouting below, Yin Ze glanced at him and couldn't stand his excitement.

Yan actually laughed, glanced down, raised her eyebrows and said loudly: "My partner is not in the capital star, I'm not in a hurry!"

He said this, and then said to Yin Ze: "I won't go down. The portraits of several members of Eternal Night Sail are still on the Federal Star Network. If they are recognized, it will be troublesome. I have arranged your residence. Now, when you get to the block on your address in Nyz, someone will come to you."

Yin Ze remained silent, but after getting along for a while, his friendship with Yan deepened a lot: "Thank you."

Yan "haha" laughed: "It's not a loss to hear you say thank you in my lifetime." He knew that Yin Ze came to the Capital Star to find someone, but he didn't know who he was looking for, so he finally put a communicator in When he reached Yin Ze's hand, he waved his hand and said: "The boss said before that you have helped us, and if you need anything, just ask us. Well, I won't say more, I hope you will find it sooner. people."

Yin Ze nodded, turned and walked out.

Yan shouted again behind him: "By the way, I heard that the bright day of the capital star is coming. The festival is full of people and things, so be careful yourself."

Yin Ze took a step.

Recalling the festival that Xi Lan once said.
