Chapter 90 (1/2)

Edited by Evan

No matter how stunned and disbelieving everyone was, the crazy, tyrannical admiral was so gentle when he inquired about the name of “little baby” Gu Bai, and only afterwards did he step onto the platform and start the serious departure ceremony with the king.

With the admiral’s example, the soldiers naturally didn’t take Gu Bai away, but kindly sent him back to the cadet team, making the people watching StarNet extremely mad and envious.

The king also directly ignored the existence of Gu Bai. His admiral had already said, “Be kind to the people of the Empire.” As a king who loved the people, he couldn’t lose face, ah…

Then the atmosphere finally got on the right track. After the king’s serious words, everyone didn’t delay. They all immediately got into the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. The archaeological exploration of Earth’s tomb couldn’t be delayed at all.

Then, to everyone’s envy and jealousy again, Admiral Han of the Empire took a few of his own guards with him onto the cadets’ s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.

It was about a three days’ flight from the capital planet of the Empire to the Earth’s parent star.

In the next few days, the leader of the archaeological team, who was the authoritative expert in archaeology and the president of the Imperial College, would give everyone a general introduction to the Earth’s ancient tombs. Everyone had to save time and start working as soon as they arrived at Earth and finished setting up the camp.

There were so many archaeologists this time. As many as 30 famous experts and 20 cadets had come along to study, so the team had become very large.

After all, this was only a preliminary exploration of the ancient tomb, with none of the subsequent excavation and other required work. So this many archaeologists gathered together was also a very lively and grand thing.

Everyone gathered in the special meeting hall on the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. Although Gu Bai was rejected by everyone, he couldn’t be absent from such occasions when everyone was there, especially when Han Lijun was there too. How could he miss it?!

However, due to his ident.i.ty, he could only sit in the back. He lifted his chin to look for the other person’s figure and found that his man was also looking around for him, so he stood up and waved joyfully.

“Here, here, Admiral, are you looking for me? I’m here!”

His voice and actions were too obvious, and the conference room was only so big, so even if someone didn’t want to notice him, they would have to.

“Qiao Qi, sit down!”

The dean couldn’t help his mouth twitching and reprimanded him. Why did the serious archaeology team suddenly have this love-struck fool in it? He must have had a brain fart at that time when he let the Qiao family in through the back door!

Because of the live broadcast, everyone’s actions were all on camera at the moment. Everyone in StarNet was just like the Dean when they saw this scene. This person wasn’t just satisfied with their depression, this infatuated idiot wanted to approach their male G.o.d again.

“He doesn’t have any self-awareness at all. He doesn’t realize that the admiral must have been giving him some face since it was an interstellar broadcast? Such thick skin!”

The people in front of StarNet beat their hearts and feet.

Gu Bai’s face was really thick. Besides, he couldn’t see the reactions on StarNet. As for all the disdainful eyes currently glaring at him, he also automatically ignored them. His eyes were only on Admiral Han in the front row. The original host’s love-struck character intensified his love for his man.

By the end of his words, Gu Bai’s eyes were bright, and the mouth of the head of the Imperial College twitched even more. People there couldn’t bear to look directly at Gu Bai.

The netizens on StarNet roared again: “Ooooh, he’s too narcissistic and shameless! Admiral, kick him out quickly!”

It was a pity that the crazy and overbearing admiral was enjoying the pursuit of this kind of narcissist very much at the moment. There was a strong sense of joy brewing in his eyes. He looked at the bright eyes of Gu Bai, and no matter how he looked at him, he found him adorable. He couldn’t help laughing.

“Cute little baby, are you an adult? According to interstellar law, minors aren’t allowed to have boyfriends…”

“I’m still two years away from being an adult…” Gu Bai lamented that according to the life expectancy of the interstellar people, 20 years old was considered an adult, and the original owner was only 18 now.

“That’s fine, you can pursue me first…”

Seeing his sad appearance, Han Lijun couldn’t help but poke and pinch Gu Bai’s face with a completely doting smile.

The audience at the scene and in front of StarNet couldn’t help spitting blood.

What domean, Admiral? The subtext is that when he’s grown up, you’ve already promised to him, right? And right now you’re very much enjoying his pursuit? And what’s with the “cute little baby” and completely doting smile?!

The king and the n.o.ble ministers in front of StarNet were also horrified. Was this the merciless admiral? G.o.d, they had to be dreaming….

“Cough, Admiral Han, dothink we should start the study of ancient tombs now?”

The dean of the Imperial College couldn’t bear it any longer. They were here to be serious archaeologists, not to put on tooth-rotting shows of affection.

The beautiful atmosphere was broken, and the admiral put away his doting expression and nodded. He then conveniently pulled Gu Bai into the chair beside him and sat down to start the study of ancient tombs.

Everyone was quiet. The dean introduced a young man of about 28 to the center of the room.

“This is Mr. Li Yuhong from our department of archaeology. Mr. Li discovered the tomb of the Earth this time. He’ll explain the details to you.”

Li Yuhong walked up to the crowd, nodded politely at them, and then directly opened the projector to start talking about his work.

“This tomb of Earth was discovered by my friends and I when we were exploring together. In ancient times, human beings were really amazing. They didn’t have the high-leveled technology we have now, but they successfully built a tomb that existed for tens of thousands of years and even didn’t get destroyed by the planetary impact on Earth in the last century. You need to know that the disaster in the last century almost destroyed all the buildings and creatures on Earth’s surface…”

Li Yuhong spoke with such fervor that people were immersed in his story. People on StarNet were quiet while watching the live broadcast online.

So many things had been destroyed by the disaster of tens of thousands of years’ on the old mother planet that the surviving people couldn’t forget that they had originated from Earth. It was a deep-rooted concept of all races to return to their roots.
