Chu Dian looked at Chu Ci, the young man in front of him, who had grown up single-handedly, had silently completed the transformation from a young child to a teenager, and then from a teenager to a mature man.

Although there are still some shortcomings, but at least, if he really didn't get through, he didn't have to worry about his own strength at the age of his grandfather, and he had to work hard to support the Chu family's reputation and family business and ...... Liability.

Moreover, the most important thing is that although I don't know if it was because of the relationship between Chu Ci and Xia Lin that it attracted the attention of the undead, but at least, because of the two of them, the Federation was able to avoid another crisis of the Dark Age.

Although Charlene still seems a little too simple, judging from the good state in which his younger brother can protect her even in the last days, presumably the two of them will not suffer too much in this era.

Chu Dian, who has already accepted Chu Ci and the memories of his previous life, did not have the strange feeling that the other party was older than him or his ancestors, but because he brought up Chu Ci in this life, he was sincerely pleased with the memories of the other party's two lives, which was enough for him to avoid many detours.

Facing his eldest brother's pleased gaze, Chu Ci felt slightly uneasy in his heart. However, he had known the calamity of the two brothers since he was a child, so he didn't say anything at this time except for the worry that he had to endure.

"I'll do everything we can to not waste resources." In the end, Chu Ci only said such a promise.

Obviously, Chu Dian was very satisfied with this answer.

"But Brother Lang, he ......," Chu Ci was still a little worried about Lang Yuquan's matter.

"Did you find any news?"

"Nope." Chu Ci shook his head, "I can only prove through the Guò military's interstellar port that he has not participated in any interstellar warfare-related missions, and the Federation has not issued any orders to him recently." ”

In other words, regardless of whether the other party went to the interstellar world or hid in the Federation, at least one thing is certain, that is, the other party did not go on a mission, but nine times out of ten it was a private operation.

As for the reasons and goals, there is no direction for the time being.

Chu Dian's expression was slightly gloomy, and it was obvious that Lang Yuquan's matter was far from his expectations. It's just that he is the one who has been fighting side by side with Lang Yuquan for many years, and he still knows the other party's character better.

That person, no matter what he does, at least he will never betray the Federation. Knowing this is enough.

"Big brother, I'm worried about ......"

"He'll be fine." Chu Dian shook his head, "That person has no other skills, but his ability to save his life is the first in the Federation." As long as he didn't send him to death sincerely, even in front of that group of veteran ninth-order abilities, he was not powerless to resist. ”

After all, Lang Yuquan's earth-based ability is not only good at defense, but most importantly, the ability to escape is also unique to the Federation.

"But what if he leaves the Federation without permission?" Chu Ci is not as optimistic as Chu Dian.

After all, even the signal tracker of the federal military cannot track the whereabouts at all, except for people in the interstellar, even anywhere on the earth, using a special signal jammer, it is impossible to have no clues.

However, after Chu Dian was silent for a long time, he still firmly gave an order, letting Chu Ci and the others plan to go to that planet unchanged.

As for Lang Yuquan's matter, he has his own ideas.

Although worried, Chu Ci would not doubt his brother's decision. In addition, the affairs of that planet were also a little troublesome, so after Chu Ci hesitated again and again, he decided to take the interstellar coordinates and some information about this planet handed over to him by Chu Dian and follow the instructions of his eldest brother.

In the end, they are not only ordinary federal citizens, but also soldiers, and the heirs of the Chu family. The burden on their shoulders doomed them to the point that they could not ignore the interests of the entire federation for the sake of their personal interests.

However, when Chu Ci conveyed Chu Dian's instructions back, the people who rarely gathered discussed for a while.

Although they are not particularly different from most of the federal army's establishment and internal composition, they can even be called the private army in the hands of Chu Ci, and they are the team that was personally formed for Chu Ci when the old man Chu was still in office, but in the end, because of Chu Dian's relationship, they are also familiar with Lang Yuquan.

At this time, it is inevitable to feel some emotion.

Liang Sihao and He Ning He Yuan, who are not the same era as Helang Yuquan, and even Bai Qiang and Xu Shuoyang are better, but Lan Zhiyuan and Lu Weiming, who are a little older, can't help but be a little worried.

Of course, they are more worried about whether there will be someone behind this matter, or even something calculated. The situation in the Federation has been getting stranger and stranger lately.

And Xia Lin didn't know Lang Yuquan at all, and all she knew about the situation in the Federation was a little more than ordinary people, so the so-called worries were naturally impossible to talk about.

So they set sail on time.

However, before leaving the earth, Chu Ci met an unexpected person.

To tell the truth, after recovering his memory, Chu Ci brought out all the people and things related to Charlene.

For the person of Bu Siduo, although he is not Charlene's fiancé, not a childhood sweetheart's friend, or even a friend with a good feeling, but Charlene's cousin, Chu Ci is not less vigilant against him at all.

Or rather, it is precisely because of this identity that I am more vigilant.

After all, the marriage between cousins and sisters is the favorite way of marriage between families nowadays. Not to mention that almost the upper echelons of Mingyang City knew that as the next generation of the Bu family's quasi-heir, Bu Siduo had always had a very good relationship with his aunt who ran away from home when he was young, and even in order to find his aunt, he had been training in various cities on the earth for many years.

Although in the past two years, he has rarely walked around the federation for the sake of family affairs, but that does not mean that the other party has gradually let go of the things that he has cared about for many years.

In fact, when the priest became the sole quasi-heir, the power in his hands gradually increased. Naturally, many clues that he couldn't find at the beginning are gradually becoming clearer.

Coupled with the attention that Charlene has attracted during this time, Chu Ci has long been prepared for the fact that sooner or later the other party will come to the door.

However, the attitude of the priest in front of him made him a little amused.

"You want Charlene's custody back?" Chu Ci raised his eyebrows and looked at the priest with a smile.

Has this person forgotten that Charlene has less than half a year to become an adult? Custody or something, it's dispensable, okay?

"That's right." The priest nodded firmly. "Anyway, she is the blood of our Bu family, although I don't know why my aunt chose to be with that man back then, but the deceased is gone, and our Bu family will not pursue it any further. It's just that unlike her cousin Xia Mingyu, who is now the next head of the Xia family, Xia Lin has now disowned the Xia family, although I know that Mr. Chu has always given her good shelter, but in the end, ......"

The priest's tone was not intense, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was mild. It's a pity that the person opposite is Chu Ci, although he is not as wise and close to the demon as Chu Dian, but he is not a person who is easy to fool.

"You think I'm going to treat her badly?" Chu Ci looked at the priest with a smile.

"I didn't mean that." The priest frowned slightly, and Chu Ci's behavior of not playing cards according to the rules obviously made him feel a little tricky.

"That is, you think our Chu family will treat her badly?" Chu Ci's tone became more and more gentle, but his eyes were cold.

"Of course not, it's just that Charlene is a girl after all, and a strong backer is a very important good thing for her......" Of course, the priest would not think so, and even if he did, he would not say it directly.

"Then, by the way, I also arranged a marriage, and used her, a good chess piece that I picked up for nothing, and even saved the effort of cultivation, as a marriage object, or even simply gave it away?" Chu Ci's tone was still gentle, but there was already a bit of coldness and a faint killing intent in his eyes.

If the other party really dared to come with such an idea, he wouldn't mind letting the Bu family understand why their Chu family had been able to sit firmly in the position of the leader of the Nine Great Hidden Families for several generations, or even most of the past thousand years!

Being stared at by the other party's undisguised murderous eyes, even though he thought that he had experienced a lot of experience, even if he couldn't be completely independent, he could be regarded as a leader of the younger generation of step priests felt the gap between himself and the man in front of him for the first time.

It's not just the insurmountable gap in strength between the sixth-order and the ninth-order powerhouse, but also the gap between them themselves, some gaps that he may never be able to overcome.

For example, that body is obviously not very strong, but it makes people clearly feel as cold as a knife, as if it is a real killing intent.

He had no doubt that if he really had such thoughts, the other party might really dare to kill him!

On the one hand, the priest was shocked by the other party's killing intent, but on the other hand, he had to be surprised by Chu Ci's importance to Xia Lin.

However, while he was happy for Charlene, he was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart.

Although he originally came with the idea of trying it out, he was still a little disappointed that he couldn't let Charlene recognize the Bu family.

"No, don't get excited, I don't mean to...... I really think of Charlene as my sister, so I hope she can live a better life......"

After all, although their Bu family is not as good as the Chu family, they are also members of the Nine Great Families in the end, and they can't really protect Xia Lin, so let Xia Lin live in their Chu family as Chu Ci's adopted daughter, no matter how you look at it, it's not as good as being in her own family, isn't it?

Moreover, Chu Ci is the heir of the Chu family in the end, and his identity aside, the other party is afraid that he will get married soon, how can Xia Lin, the "older adopted daughter" who is not related to her, have a good time in the Chu family?

Although it is said that if Charlene really returns to the Bu family, I am afraid that she will also suffer some hardships, but the priest thinks about it, even if it is still like this, it is a big deal that he will take care of Charlene a little more.

It won't be long before he will be officially announced as the next head of the Bu family, and the position of power in his hands is naturally not the same, but he is just a girl, and he thinks he can still protect it.

"You don't have it, but it doesn't mean that the family behind you doesn't." Chu Ci sneered, glanced at the people who were walking towards this side in the distance, and decided to quickly resolve this conversation.

He doesn't know much about the situation of the Bu family, after all, he doesn't like gossip and messing with Xu Shuoyang, he is very busy himself, even if he pays more attention to the Bu family because of Charlene, but it's only a few points.

But it's enough.

After all, isn't that the same thing in these big families of the Federation?

Although there is harmony and friendship and unity on the surface, there are many tricks and frequent injustices in private. Let Charlene, although a little clever, is a hermit crab who likes to shrink herself in a safe shell that she has constructed herself, and when she gets there, isn't it the result of being boiled in a pot every minute?

Even if he is a step priest, maybe he will be okay in ten years, but now he is still young, how can he protect Charlene?

And, even if it could? What if the Bu family is united and fraternally like a paradise?

Charlene is his person, and he used a lot of means to put people's household registration in his name, and they want to leave? There are no doors!

"I don't care what you have in mind, Charlene will only be a member of the Chu family. I know the relationship between you and Charlene's mother, but so what? I won't stop you from getting close to Charlene, as long as you don't have bad intentions, I don't care if she gets closer to the Bu family. But if any of you have thoughts that you shouldn't have......"

Chu Ci sneered, didn't finish his words, and got up directly and strode away. It's just that the strong killing intent that erupted at that moment made the priest not doubt the other party's determination at all.

He cared much more about Charlene than the priest had imagined.

His eyes sank, looking at Xia Lin and the others who were walking towards Chu Ci in the distance, the priest hesitated, but did not step forward, but turned around and left silently.

That's fine. This time, he might be able to take it seriously.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that he was about to set off, the person who was about to check the supplies for the last time suddenly ran out without saying a word, not only Xia Lin, but Lu Weiming and others were also very curious and concerned.

"It's okay, just to see an acquaintance." Chu Ci shook his head and didn't plan to talk about it. "Are you sure everything has been checked?"

"Of course!"

"No problem."

"One qiē is normal."

"Don't worry, boss, I've got a double portion!"

“……”

"Hmm......" Charlene blinked, looking at the slightly familiar back in the distance, her face puzzled. Step priest? What is he doing here?

But before Xia Lin finished wondering, Chu Ci took everyone into the hovercar and went straight to Starport.

As for the mess left behind in the federation and the people with various connections, let's talk about it when they come back~R1152
