Chapter 1298: Chapter 1298: Good Little Aunt
Further understanding requires contact, which can’t be fully grasped now, but at least from the current situation, the Supervisor seems rather approachable.
“Alright, since you’re already acquainted, you should set off as soon as possible. If you need assistance, the Seventh Fleet will coordinate with your actions at any time,” General Bai Ling said solemnly.
Lan Xuanyu and Yuanen Guangjun saluted him, and General Bai Ling returned the salute.
Yuanen Guangjun followed Lan Xuanyu out of the headquarters, Lan Xuanyu leading with her following behind. Only then did a hint of curiosity appear in her eyes.
Compared to Lan Xuanyu’s surprise at her status, she was actually more interested in Lan Xuanyu himself.
According to the information, he’s just nineteen years old. A level 8 Sky Fighter and a young general, recently announced as one of the new generation of Shrek Seven Monsters. This is what the federation’s upper echelons have only just come to know.
As the Supervisor, she is more informed about Lan Xuanyu’s background and the situation on Sky Dragon Planet.
Yuanen Guangjun reached the rank of young general and became the Eighteenth War God at the age of twenty-seven. Her talent is imaginable. She has always had full confidence in herself, yet, when she saw Lan Xuanyu’s record, especially the merits he performed for the federation, she still found it incredibly unbelievable.
Their meeting today only deepened her impression.
First of all, he’s young, incredibly young. Tall and straight, his handsome looks are faultless even in Yuanen Guangjun’s eyes, who is used to seeing young talents. Despite his young age, he’s very restrained and profound. There’s not a trace of the impatience common to the youth on his face, and he always has a smile. Facing her, the Supervisor, he remains calm, showing no sign of acceptance or rejection.
The federation has given Yuanen Guangjun two main tasks: one is to supervise Lan Xuanyu and his companions, recording their activities. The other is to hope that she can be another infiltrator, gathering more data about Sky Dragon Planet and the Dragon Horse Galaxy from her perspective, to corroborate the information brought back by Lan Xuanyu.
So, her mission this time can be said to be of great responsibility.
Moreover, she has another potential task, one that is even more special. The federation hopes she can form a personal relationship with Lan Xuanyu and win him over as much as possible.
Although it was not made explicit, Yuanen Guangjun could still see the profound implications in the eyes of her superior officer.
Having reached such a position at her age and faced many situations, she naturally knows what is expected of her. After receiving this supervisory task, she also made special inquiries about Lan Xuanyu through her family. The feedback she got was extremely positive, and the family also hoped she could develop a closer relationship with Lan Xuanyu if possible.
Regarding this, Yuanen Guangjun was initially dismissive. At twenty-seven years old, her life was spent in various cultivations, experiences, and missions. As the sole possessor of the Titan Dragon Martial Soul, she has been cultivated as a guardian by the family. A guardian is an entity with equal status to the Family Head.
The Family Head of the Titan Clan must be the possessor of the Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul. Therefore, she cannot be the Family Head. But her Titan Dragon Martial Soul is recognized as a formidable existence. The family has high hopes for her, and she has very high goals for herself too. She hopes to reach realms never before touched by her family. Thus, she never gave much thought to romantic affairs.
With her qualities, there was no shortage of suitors, but the vast majority withdrew on their own. The reason for their withdrawal is simple: she is simply too outstanding. No one could keep up with her pace.
However, after reading Lan Xuanyu’s file and being covertly assigned this task, her initial feeling was one of disdain. Am I, a nineteen-year-old, supposed to take the initiative to approach this kid?
He’s still wet behind the ears.
However, when she truly saw Lan Xuanyu today, the thoughts in her heart seemed to solidify.
Although she never admitted to being obsessed with appearances, valuing inner qualities and strength more, when she saw Lan Xuanyu, she suddenly felt that if a face could be this handsome, perhaps nothing else was quite as important…
Just at that moment, Yuanen Guangjun suddenly realized it had gotten dark before her eyes; she didn’t know when she had gotten so close to standing behind Lan Xuanyu, and promptly stopped in her tracks.
Lan Xuanyu turned around, “General Yuanen, if you need to, you can go back and pack up your belongings. We’ll meet later at the Eighth Docking Pad.”
“Ah? No need. I don’t have much to pack. I’m ready to leave at any time. I’ll go with you, so I can meet your teammates first. Also, you don’t need to be so formal, although we are both rear admirals. But you are a level 8 Sky Fighter, and I am only a level 6. You can call me by my name. Just Yuanen is fine. I don’t really like the name ‘Guangjun’. Initially, my parents were hoping for a boy, so they decided on this name in advance,” said Yuanen Guangjun with a smile.
Now, with only the two of them, less than a meter apart, she could clearly see Lan Xuanyu’s beautiful, large eyes and long eyelashes.
Lan Xuanyu smiled and said, “I’m afraid that wouldn’t be appropriate. You are Huihui’s aunt and by extension, my elder. How could I address you by your first name?”
The corners of Yuanen Guangjun’s mouth twitched slightly. This kid…
Lan Xuanyu continued with a smiling face, “From now on, I and everyone else will call you aunt, just like Huihui does.” After saying this, he continued walking ahead.
Yuanen Guangjun paused for a moment, watching Lan Xuanyu’s retreating figure, clenched her fists in frustration, and then followed.
If she was chosen by the federation as the supervisor for such an important mission, naturally all her abilities were top-notch. How could it be simple for someone who became the Eighteenth War God in her twenties?
She now fully realized that Lan Xuanyu was not easy to deal with. Although it was just a simple matter of address, there were multiple purposes behind it.
The distinction of seniority created a gap between them, while the respectful form of address drew their relationship closer on another level. Being our elder and also supervising us, would you still harm us?
It seems that completing this mission won’t be easy!
Lan Xuanyu was unaware of what Yuanen Guangjun was thinking at the moment, but he held the federation in high regard. Undoubtedly, the federation had sent an excellent choice. A person from the Titan Clan which had close ties with Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, a relative of one of their important members, and a relatively more approachable woman. In every aspect, she could be described as impeccable.
However, the better she seemed, the more cautious he had to be, as the saying goes, “You can know someone’s face but not their heart.” Moreover, some secrets definitely could not be disclosed to her.
On the way back, Lan Xuanyu had already informed his teammates to be ready to depart.
The Thirty-Three Skywing warship was already prepared, and led by a guide ship from the mother vessel, everyone was transported onboard by a specialized rail car, returning to space.
This was Yuanen Guangjun’s first time on a warship belonging to the Tang Sect, and she couldn’t help but look around with a sense of novelty as she followed Lan Xuanyu aboard.
The Tang Sect’s warship was entirely different from the federal standard battleships, be it in terms of operating methods or internal layout. It was much more minimalist by comparison. All aspects of control were noticeably simplified. On the warship, there were only the thirty-three of Lan Xuanyu’s team and Tree Elder, no one else.
