CHAPTER 485: CHAPTER 482: WANT TO MAKE MONEY? GO TO FATHER WANG

The journey back to Blue Star.

Even Xu Lingjun himself did not expect that he truly had the patience to stand guard on the vast Polar Star Battlefield for nearly two years.

During these two years, he never once returned to Blue Star.

He couldn’t believe his own diligence... it almost felt like he wasn’t himself anymore.

What was even more unbelievable was how much the Polar Star Battlefield had transformed because of him in just under two years.

So much so, that when he returned, he did so gloriously.

Commander Xu Lingjun was to return first.

Now that the Polar Star Battlefield no longer required defenses, naturally, everyone else would return as well...

Only they would return a bit later than him, to ensure the base was secured and all the follow-up work was done!

"Commander Xu, please!"

"Commander Xu, be careful of the steps."

"Commander Xu, I’ve heard of your illustrious achievements, they’re incredible. I wish I could charge into battle under your command, even dying for it would be worth it in this lifetime."

"Commander Xu, are you still recruiting? I’d be willing to be your gatekeeper."

..................

Obviously, Xu Lingjun’s illustrious achievements in annihilating the Chi Yu mysterious clan had become known to everyone.

How much did the Great Xia Empire hate the Chi Yu mysterious clan?

Years of blood feud, with the Chi Yu mysterious clan often inciting attacks, then hiding behind other mysterious races of the heavens to benefit from it... sickening like maggots, wanting to be squished but being blocked by the thick layers of excrement, leaving nowhere to step.

Now Xu Lingjun has successfully destroyed them.

This alone elevated his prestige in the military to great heights.

[You personally annihilated the Chi Yu mysterious clan, earning Sun Siyuan’s sincere gratitude, and thus received the favor of the world’s origin will, Origin Value +82!]

[You personally annihilated the Chi Yu mysterious clan, earning Zhou Qingchang’s sincere gratitude, and thus received the favor of the world’s origin will, Origin Value +49!]

[You personally annihilated the Chi Yu mysterious clan, earning Yun Feiyang’s sincere gratitude, and thus received the favor of the world’s origin will, Origin Value +65!]

..................

A series of gratitudes, substantial Source Values, and numbers flooding the screen.

As a result,

Originally, Xu Lingjun planned to board the warship and immediately return to Blue Star, but he ended up taking a few extra laps within the base... each lap netting several thousand more Source Values.

Fortunately, Xu Lingjun also understood the truth that one shouldn’t harvest too aggressively.

Better to proceed bit by bit; taking a few more laps might extract more Source Values, but it could also leave a negative impression.

Subsequently, one might easily be perceived as vain and boastful.

After one round of harvesting, Xu Lingjun contentedly boarded the warship.

After a mild sway, it plunged directly down towards Blue Star.

Xu Lingjun closed his eyes to rest for a while.

When he came to, the warship had already come to a stop...

As he stepped out of the space station doors,

Xu Lingjun could clearly see that the defenses of Biluo City had become much more relaxed compared to before.

Many specialized defense weapons had been moved into the Polar Star Battlefield.

As the Polar Star Battlefield expanded outward, the last line of defense no longer needed to be set within the planet but could expand outward...

In doing so, the citizens inside were naturally safer...

Boarding the exclusive flying device that had long been waiting there,

Xu Lingjun said, "Let’s not rush back to the Imperial Capital yet, I need to stop by Yuzhang City to pay respects to an elder."

Li Fufeng might have had various shortcomings, but on the Polar Star Battlefield, he was a predecessor and even a symbol of countless families who had fallen against the mysterious clans.

Xu Lingjun felt it necessary to pay his respects.

"Yes."

The driver responded.

Your Majesty had requested that Commander Xu be brought back immediately.

But now, with Commander Xu’s reputation so high... and knowing the relationship between Xu Lingjun and Li Jingjun,

Though Your Majesty was anxious, Commander Xu had just succeeded in annihilating the Chi Yu mysterious clan, what’s wrong with him going home to reunite with his wife?

At this moment, in these loyal guards’ hearts, Xu Lingjun’s status surpassed even that of Your Majesty.

Yuzhang City.

When Xu Lingjun came again to the Li Family,

in the ancestral hall...

Li Jingjun was kneeling there, quietly speaking soft words.

Xu Lingjun, with his acute senses, heard clearly that she was telling her grandmother about his achievements during this period... telling her she could leave peacefully.

With a smile on his lips, Xu Lingjun thought to himself that the old lady had just passed.

If she were still alive to hear about his success in destroying the Chi Yu mysterious clan.

She would have contributed the most Source Values for sure.

He didn’t interrupt her.

Just watching her slender back... though frail, she also bore the Li Family’s legacy.

Now, aside from Li Pingting, the unreliable woman,

It’s just her left.

Half an hour later.

When Li Jingjun turned back.

Her snow-white face showed a slight joyful smile as she said, "You’ve come."

"Mm, came to pay my respects to the old lady, and brag a bit about my achievements, though it’s a pity I was a step late... you already bragged before I could."

"It’s considered sharing credit as well."

Li Jingjun took three sticks of Spirit Incense from beside her and handed them to Xu Lingjun to respectfully offer.

Bowed three times.

The two stood there for a while, then intertwining their fingers, walked out hand in hand.

After a long separation, there’s naturally so much to say...

Yet upon actually meeting, it felt as though words were unnecessary.

From former rivals to close friends, then to beloved partners.

To now, enduring different battles in separate places...

Now, merely walking together in silence gave them a unique sense of satisfaction.

Returning to the great hall.

Soon after, they saw Li Pingting angrily stomping back.

Still exclaiming,

"I’m furious... Damn it, I’m furious."

Returning without seeing Xu Lingjun and Li Jingjun, stomping hard at the table,

Then sitting down in a chair with shaky legs, fuming, "Thirty years on the east side of the river, thirty years on the west... I can’t believe that one day I’d be bullied..."

Xu Lingjun curiously asked, "What happened?!"

"Probably lost money in business."

Li Jingjun was quite calm, leisurely sipping tea as she slowly spoke, "Biluo City used to be a military stronghold barring entry to merchants, but now with the victory at the Polar Star Battlefield, Biluo City has completed its historical duty and will soon become residential... My aunt wanted to be the first in line but was elbowed out."

"How can you say that, Jingjun, it’s those people not playing by the rules!"

Li Pingting angrily said, "With our family’s industry in Yuzhang City, it surely proves my talent as a business prodigy. There’s no reason it shouldn’t work in Biluo City... I’m not convinced; there must be some trickery!"

Xu Lingjun: "..............."

Li Jingjun helplessly spread her hands towards Xu Lingjun.

Xu Lingjun immediately understood.

So this girl thinks her business flair made her successful in Yuzhang City, forgetful of the Li Family’s influence.

The Li Family sacrificed much; they could be considered the King Without a Crown in Yuzhang City.

But outside... while people respect them, respect doesn’t override business.

She considered going into business because she didn’t want to be idle at home.

And now, undoubtedly, her business has grown.

She hit a wall when taken outside.

"I thought it was something huge... but this is quite simple, you don’t need to worry about it at all."

Xu Lingjun suggested, "You don’t need to make it so complex."

"Change the company’s legal representative to Wang Tiancheng’s name, and then continue to cooperate with them, and it will be fine, although you thought that they might have played some tricks."

Li Pingting: "..............."
