The Law Enforcement Department in Mingjing City reacted very quickly to the attack on Wei Yue. The incident was taken very seriously.

The department dispatched a large number of personnel, who conducted a wide-range search around the area and confiscated a great deal of heavy weaponry, even finding two mini nuclear bombs.

However, no assassins were found at the scene.

DNA from twenty-seven assassins was identified through blood sample tests, but all that could be determined was that they were from Pegasus Star; their origin remained unknown.

Only the genes of ordinary civilians are recorded in the Alliance's gene bank. The personnel of major noble families have their own hospitals, and the genes of their members are all kept confidential.

This incident also caused a sensation in Mingjing City, and even throughout East Continent. It spread quickly within the circle of the upper echelons on Pegasus Star.

More than two months later, Wei Yue was once again attacked by armed forces. Similarly, the enemies were directly killed, leaving no survivors and not even a complete corpse.

Undoubtedly, Blood Shadow acted again.

Everyone speculated about the relationship between Blood Shadow and Wei Yue. Why was Blood Shadow so determined to guard this woman?

Soon, the top-level noble family, Yuan Family, from Zhongjing announced an investment in Yuanlong Company, and both parties would engage in close cooperation in various fields.

The implied message behind this announcement made all the major noble families wary.

Everyone remembers clearly that it was Blood Shadow who killed the Patriarch of the Yuan Family.

The Yuan Family once openly offered a reward for Blood Shadow. They were not very friendly towards Wei Yue, who was closely associated with Blood Shadow. However, they did not take any drastic actions.

But now, the Yuan Family has clearly surrendered completely.

With the Yuan Family and the Yan Family as allies, Yuanlong Company already shows the signs of a first-tier major company.

The Skywalker Gene Potion is so popular, it's clear that Yuanlong Company will have even better development prospects.

Thus, Wei Yue rose against the tide. It is truly a miracle.

In this era, the upper-class elites have sealed all the paths to advancement.

Even medium and small noble families must follow the rules and cannot act recklessly. Any attempt to rise to a higher tier is met with overwhelming resistance.

Social resources are limited, and positions are few. When one more person is added to the top, others have to sacrifice. No one is willing to give up their own interests.

A person like Wei Yue, who comes from a second-tier noble family, shouldn't have much room for advancement no matter what product she develops.

But with Blood Shadow's resolute support, Wei Yue advanced step by step and finally entered the ranks of East Continent's top noble families.

This process was so short, it took less than a year.

On the other hand, it also proves the power of Blood Shadow.

The noble families that wield power and wealth are no match for the super assassin who controls life and death.

Everyone envies Wei Yue for finding such a powerful ally.

Some noble families have contacted the Silver Sword Hero, trying to carve a path through force.

The outcomes were all tragic.

Facts have proven that even the Silver Sword Hero cannot play many tricks on Pegasus Star.

In a way, this affirms the power of Blood Shadow.

After a series of events, Blood Shadow has become a huge shadow in the hearts of the noble families and elites on Pegasus Star.

No one is willing to risk their lives testing Blood Shadow's limits.

From countless miles away, Gao Xuan retracted the roaming Spirit Projection.

The vast spiritual energy accumulated within the Celestial Demon Relic allowed him to roam leisurely on Pegasus Star.

Of course, he couldn't stray too far from Wei Yue or Yuan Ansheng.

These two were his spatial coordinates and also his spiritual coordinates. His current spiritual power was not enough to truly wander across the stars.

Those who can wander across the stars are top Golden Powerhouses. Ordinary Golds do not have this ability.

The vastness of space is such that even in light-years, it's a massive magnitude.

Not to mention the Gold Powerhouses, even the powerful Divine Beings have limited sensing ranges.

Without the spiritual coordinates of human followers, even the Master of Blood may not be able to pinpoint the human planet.

In his past life, Gao Xuan speculated about this. However, the powers of the Divine Realm were too profound for him to comprehend fully, and even the Golds were beyond his understanding, so all he could do was speculate.

This time he killed the Crimson Eye and eliminated the Spirit Sword Association, gaining direct insight into the relationship between Negative Space Divine Beings and followers.

The special connection between Wei Yue, Yuan Ansheng, and the Celestial Demon Relic also gave him a deep understanding of spiritual coordinates.

Comparing the two, Gao Xuan felt greatly benefited.

The Celestial Demon Relic can harvest spiritual energy at all times. Whether it's Blood Shadow or Gao Xuan, as long as they generate any emotional response towards him, the Celestial Demon Relic can absorb the energy.

He had just created a huge stir on Purple Dragon Star, and for a short period, he could enjoy significant heat and naturally absorb vast spiritual power.

As for Pegasus Star, not many people are aware of Blood Shadow, but those who know can offer powerful spiritual energy. This steady spiritual income is quite substantial.

Gao Xuan condenses Spirit Projection Avatars by consuming this energy, which allows him to save 90% of his spiritual power, enabling him to maintain the projection for long periods without affecting his real body.

Xiao Ting, who was nearby, hadn't noticed anything unusual.

Living inside the flying ship, she was extremely fulfilled. She never expected that the ever-busy Gao Xuan still had the capacity to cause trouble in other places.

What Gao Xuan regretted was that he hadn't spotted the Eight-winged Void Flying Fish during the ship's return journey.

This was normal. Although the Eight-winged Void Flying Fish was near Taurus, "near" in this context meant within two light-years.

Starting from Taurus, draw a massive sphere with a radius of two light-years, and the Eight-winged Void Flying Fish is within that enormous sphere.

However, the flying ship had a fixed course, making the chances of encountering the Eight-winged Void Flying Fish extremely low.

February 28th, Gao Xuan returned to Golden Source City on Taurus.

To Gao Xuan's surprise, as soon as he came out of the security checkpoint at the terminal, he saw Xiao Wan.

At the time, Xiao Ting was affectionately holding onto his arm.

For their relationship, Gao Xuan was completely unfazed by such displays of affection.

Until Xiao Wan's gaze, sharp as a sword, landed on their arms; at that moment, Xiao Wan probably had already severed their arms with her eyes in her mind, or maybe even imagined taking them both out together.

Xiao Ting noticed Xiao Wan's gaze, but she didn't let go. Instead, she held on even tighter.

Gao Xuan was powerless about this.

He couldn't just go from intimate conversation to suddenly not even allowing her to hold his arm.

Besides, Gao Xuan didn't feel the need to hide these things. He acknowledged his flaws, but he didn't hide what he did.

In this regard, he valued equality the most, ensuring both parties were willing. Once the relationship was established, he wouldn't hide it from anyone.

There was nothing shameful, nor was it against moral values.

Whatever Xiao Wan thought about it, he didn't care. It was his personal affair. It had nothing to do with Xiao Wan.

Of course, Xiao Wan wouldn't see it that way, but she wasn't stupid; she wouldn't lose her temper at her own people.

She said to Xiao Ting, "Be more reserved, pay attention to your status."

"This is my little man, I can do whatever I want with him."

Xiao Ting said with a sly smile, "You're just jealous."

Xiao Wan, with a cold face, said, "Slut!"

"Hahaha..."

Xiao Ting, even when cursed, wasn't angry; she laughed even more joyfully. She gave Gao Xuan's cheek a big kiss, "Honey, let's go out tonight."

Gao Xuan nodded, and only then did Xiao Ting strut away like a proud cat.

"Did you really sleep with her? She's old enough to be your mom."

Xiao Wan said dismissively.

In truth, Xiao Ting was just in her early thirties, fully a young person by Interstellar Era standards.

Xiao Wan was actually only four years younger than Xiao Ting. She was really upset, hence her sharp words.

"Maturity has its own charm."

Gao Xuan objectively commented, "Sister Ting is actually in the prime physical condition. Excellent."

Xiao Wan was a bit irritated. She lent Gao Xuan out for a few days, and now it felt like meat buns fed to a dog, never to return.

Gao Xuan flattered, saying, "But, Sister Ting doesn't have a figure as nice as yours."

"How would you know!" Xiao Wan snapped, having no interest in this topic, much less comparing herself to Xiao Ting.

"She doesn't have Sister Wan's big chest, does she."

Gao Xuan felt a bit aggrieved; even kind words weren't welcomed. Xiao Wan was a bit edgy today.

"Enough out of you!"

Xiao Wan glared at Gao Xuan, "You've become so cocky after your triumphs on Purple Dragon Star, now you think you can just flirt with me casually."

"A sincere compliment, entirely from the heart."

Gao Xuan earnestly assured, "Sister Wan, I belong to you, I'd never switch sides."

He continued, "I'm just good friends with Sister Ting. She wanted to marry me, but I firmly refused!"

"Really?"

Xiao Wan couldn't stay angry at that. If Gao Xuan really intended to marry Xiao Ting, she truly wouldn't know what to do.

"Of course."

Gao Xuan said, "Sister Wan's kindness to me, I will never forget."

Xiao Wan really treated him well, assisting in all areas without expecting anything in return. This was different from Xiao Ting.

Hearing Gao Xuan say this, Xiao Wan finally felt better. She was genuinely worried about losing Gao Xuan to Xiao Ting.

This time, Gao Xuan accomplished a significant feat on Purple Dragon Star, and Xiao Yan highly praised Gao Xuan in his report to the family.

Now, with Xiao Yan's strong recommendation, Gao Xuan had been elevated to Level 6 Member of the association.

In terms of membership level, she, Xiao Ting, and Xiao Changsheng were only Level 6 Members as well.

Now, Gao Xuan was on the same level as them. At least within the association, they could no longer give orders to Gao Xuan.

Though Xiao Wan highly regarded Gao Xuan, his rapid growth still worried her a bit.

Luckily, Gao Xuan was quite conscientious and showed no intention of leaving her behind.

Xiao Wan led Gao Xuan into the flying car, saying, "You're back just in time to catch the March 3rd Starfish Island Social Gathering..."

"Social Gathering?" Gao Xuan didn't quite understand.

"It's actually a social event for all the top Noble Families on Taurus, held once a year, very lively and highly competitive..."

Xiao Wan spoke excitedly about the social gathering, "This year, I'm counting on you to bring glory to the Xiao Family!"
