Dark Star Field [Interstellar]

Xue Yelai's mind was buzzing, and he remained numb for a long time before he truly understood the meaning of his father's words.

He had heard that a long time ago, there were four families who were in charge of the Senate, and they held the positions of Qian Yi, Hou Cheng, Zuo Fu, and You Bi respectively.But 20 years ago, a rebellion suddenly occurred in the most powerful Su family.The other three families joined forces to suppress and wiped out the Su family almost overnight.

From then on, only three families remained to dominate the Senate.

Could it be that...the tragedy of 20 years ago is about to repeat itself now?

"Yelai, don't think too much." His father saw Xue Yelai's fear and immediately comforted him, "The reason why the Su family ended up like that was because they planned to betray the Starfield Empire and seek refuge with the Interstellar Federation. On the Star River, we The loyalty of the Xue family to the empire can be learned from heaven and earth. After His Majesty’s anger subsides, he will definitely find out the truth and will never falsely accuse our family. Concentrate on the exam and don’t be distracted by external affairs.”

Xue Yelai's heart was in a mess, and he nodded anxiously.

The father's face disappeared from the screen.Xue Yelai suddenly remembered that he forgot to tell about Bai Yang.

However, the family must be in chaos now, and the patriarch's father must have no time to care about him.

After sitting blankly for a while, Xue Yelai put on his uniform and walked out of the ward slowly.

The electronic giant screen in the competitive test area is still announcing the latest battle situation.Several more pairs successfully passed the first stage, and "Rose" and "Yew" still topped the list with the highest points.Xue Yelai was surprised to find that the second name had changed to "Tumi", which was Cao Ge's code name.

In the tea break area in front of the giant screen sat a few noble children, discussing something with different expressions.

Xue Yelai hid behind the statue in the fountain pool, and with his keen hearing, he could hear their conversation verbatim.

Through these bits and pieces of information, he pieced together the ins and outs of the Hundred Flowers Temple incident:

★Three days ago, the emperor summoned the three major families of the Senate to hold the annual awarding ceremony in the Hundred Flowers Temple.At the moment of celebration, more than a dozen soldiers of the Xue family suddenly lost control of their minds without warning and launched an attack on the emperor on the high platform.

The rebellion was suppressed with arms by the Royal Gendarmerie and was finally saved.However, in the chaos, the Xue family suffered heavy casualties. ★

Although the emperor ordered the news to be blocked, the nobles had already obtained information from various channels.

"With the death of seventeen elders, the Xue family may be doomed."

"The galaxy is above!"

"Let's go congratulate Cao Ge. Although I hate this kid very much, the Cao family will gain power in the future."

Xue Yelai concealed his breath with mental strength.Several noble children filed past him, unaware of his existence.

At this time, the battle situation on the electronic giant screen was refreshed again.Several noble children looked up and were immediately stunned: the name of the warrior who was paired with "Tumi" disappeared.This means that Cao Ge has lifted the spiritual contract between the two parties.

After a second, that blank space was replaced by another name: "Topol".

The green circle behind "Tumi" immediately changed back to a red "×", and the points were cleared.This means that Cao Ge has returned to the first stage of testing.

"Bai Yang?" Several noble children looked at each other, "Isn't it the dark warrior who sent the young master of the Xue family to the hospital a few days ago? Cao Ge actually gave up his points for him?"

"But Xue Yelai abstained?"

"Xue Yelai was injured like that, and he will definitely not take the next exam. Cao Ge has the right to ask Bai Yang by name."

Xue Yelai's eyes flickered in the dark, his toes tapped lightly, and his figure disappeared without making a sound.

Those people were right.If Xue Yelai abstained, Bai Yang would return to the "to be assigned" status, and Cao Ge could name him.

Candidates who miss the exam for three consecutive days will be sentenced to abstention.Today is the third day, and there is still time to take the final round of exams.

When they rushed to the isolation room, two guards were about to take Bai Yang away.Seeing Xue Yelai, the two looked embarrassed and didn't know how to explain.

Xue Yelai knew that they were just small characters sandwiched between the Cao family and the Xue family, and he didn't want to make it hard for them to be human, so he pointed to the time on the wall and made a "10" with his gestures.

"Ten minutes? Okay, let's come back later." The two soldiers understood, bowed their knees and stepped back.

Bai Yang was lying on a stretcher bed, his whole body was tightly fixed by restraints.His eyes had returned to the dark green of stagnant water, and he was staring straight at the ceiling, showing no emotion.

Looking at those eyes, Xue Yelai had a feeling: this person doesn't care about his own fate.He seems to have died a long time ago, and what remains here is just a body without a soul.

"Just this time, please talk to me." Xue Yelai leaned close to Bai Yang's ear and said with breath.

As expected, Bai Yang did not respond.

"Why didn't you kill me?" Xue Yelai touched his still sore throat, "You moved so fast, you could break my cervical spine in one fell swoop. Why didn't you do that?"

Still no response.The poplar is like a delicate sculpture, so cold that there is no life.

"My mental threshold connected with you for a moment. When you were about to kill me, you hesitated. I felt your pain. Why?"

Bai Yang's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't turn around.

"We don't have much time to spend together. If you hate me, tell me why. If you don't say anything, I will soon forget you and go on with my old life. Is this what you want ? You don't want me to know what I did wrong and feel guilty about it?"

Even if you speak with your breath, if you speak too much, your throat will still be rubbed sorely.Xue Yelai paused for a moment, and turned Bai Yang's face.

"The instructors at school told me that there are only two options for dealing with the Dark Warrior: Either conquer him mentally or destroy him physically. But I know that's not exactly the case. There is another option like this : Destroy him mentally, subdue him physically|physically.—do you understand what I mean?"

Bai Yang's gaze suddenly turned cold, and he glanced over like lightning.

Xue Yelai sighed, "It seems that you also know. Yes, 'Undead Warrior' is not a rumor, but a fact."
