Chapter 72: Bai Qian (1/2)

Quite a few students were creeped out by Lu Yin’s training room as they passed by, shocked that people could battle under 40 times gravity. Even the elites of many institutions couldn’t achieve such a feat.

More students left the Perseverance as time went on, including Gerlaine, Balaror, Eddy, and Hayden; at this point, Lu Yin recognized very few of the students left behind. Before Gerlaine left, she looked for him and waved her fist, “You better watch out, I haven’t repaid you for robbing me just yet.”

“Wanna try again?” Lu Yin was defiant.

The girl was frightened and quickly ran away, but she tried to intimidate him once more before she left, “Don’t belittle Yu Academy. You won’t be fighting Sentinels anymore, you’ll be facing Melders. Just wait for my brother to crush you!”

Lu Yin laughed at first, but an introduction of Gerbach sprang to mind and his expression turned heavier. The man was one of Yu Academy’s strongest students, and had even joined one of the Thirteen Imperial Squadrons. Although his own status was rather high now, these kinds of people wouldn’t necessarily defer to him. He had to work hard and become a Melder to protect himself.

As he was rushing back to the training room, Lu Yin came across Bai Xue who was staring into space alone. Her beauty with the stars in the background moved him; she seemed to be a glowing fairy, attracting fervent gazes from many of the students around her. Be it on Earth or in the wider universe, such looks would never go away.

“What are you thinking about?” he walked over to her side, “Why don’t you train with us.”

“The universe is really too big, and Earth is too insignificant. No wonder the planet can’t hold on to its people,” she answered indifferently.

“Didn’t you walk out yourself? Don’t take things with Liu Shaoge too seriously.”

“Not him,” she shook her head.

“Huh? Who else?”

She turned to look at him, “Do you know who discovered Qingyu?”

“Bai Qian,” he blurted out instantly.

Bai Xue’s expression darkened, “That’s right, Bai Qian.”

That’s right, Bai Qian was the one to step onto Neptune and fetch the so-called corpse. This was the first person to come into contact with alien life, but there was no such name among the Seven Sages. How was one of Earth’s most elite astronauts simply gone? Lu Yin had always felt like there was something amiss. “Who is it? You share surnames, is he related to you?”

An expression of agony filled Bai Xue’s face, “She’s my elder sister.”

“She’s a woman?” Lu Yin was stunned.

Bai Xue nodded, unable to help a smile as she watched Lu Yin’s surprise, “Shocking, isn’t it. The media exploded with news of her reaching Neptune, but no one mentioned a hint of personal information, not even gender. You always thought she was a dominant man like Zhang Dingtian, didn’t you?”

Bai Xue looked down, her long hair covering her eyes as she explained gloomily, “Rainbows paled in comparison to my sister’s face. She was a strategist like Zhuge, had the heart of an empress, and was a genius swordswoman. But she abandoned me, abandoned Earth, and went into the heavens alone. I’ll probably never see her again.”

“Into the heavens? How?” Lu Yin felt it was strange.
