Perhaps due to physical weakness, his words sounded especially fragile.
Yu Mei leaned into his arms and nodded, comforting him. "Charlie Jing has already written the relevant papers."
Andrew closed his eyes, hugging Yu Mei tightly, his tone calm. "She should take a year's leave at a healing planet."
If time could rewind, he would never have introduced Charlie Jing to Yu Mei.
"What are you here for?"
He Qishen's gaze passed over the heartbroken Dr. Sun, looking at the two who seemed to be filming a romance.
At this, Yu Mei quickly let go of Andrew and turned to face He Qishen.
He was about the same age as her son, but much thinner. His black hair fell on his shoulders, his face was noticeably gaunt, and his skin was pale as snow.
There was no life in him, let alone the vitality of a young person. Time seemed to have passed over him rapidly for decades.
Yet his spiritual power was originally SS-level.
Yu Mei opened her mouth.
Having experienced many storms, she found it hard to speak for the first time.
"You are free."
Andrew said slowly.
He Qishen's expression didn't change at all, as if he hadn't understood.
"You are free," Yu Mei said. "From now on, you are an ordinary citizen of the Federation."
Dr. Sun looked up at this.
He Qishen slowly lowered his head to look at him. "I'm free?"
Dr. Sun nodded vigorously. "Yes, you're free!"
He Qishen stared at him for a long time, then looked out the window. It was already winter, but the plant species on the Seventh Sub-Star were unique, still lush green.
Today's sunlight was nice.
It fell into the room, bright.
Yu Mei waited for a long time, but He Qishen said nothing more, just quietly looked out the window.
A bird landed on the windowsill, curiously observing the people in the room.
"You can leave the Seventh Sub-Star at any time. All your past records will be sealed."
"Your sister, too."
He Qishen's gaze seemed to flicker slightly.
But he remained silent.
Chu Ran found out about Yu Mei and Andrew's arrival on the Seventh Sub-Star only a week later.
During this time, the Seventh Sub-Star was unusually quiet—no Zerg, no Special Squad, and even the God Summoning Society's people had disappeared without a trace.
The big shot on Central Star still wasn't recovering; Professor Hu never returned to the Seventh Sub-Star.
Every afternoon, Edwood would spend an hour sparring with Chu Ran.
When Chu Ran fought Edwood, she didn't use the special aspects of her divine power.
Edwood never questioned it.
He focused on training Chu Ran's strength in normal combat; he didn't approve of relying on life-or-death outbursts every time.
Sometimes Chu Ran even felt like he was training a dog.
The Spiritist Tournament preliminaries were still ongoing. Chu Ran's second opponent was someone familiar.
"I have a bad feeling," Chang He said, rubbing his nose after hearing the name Chu Zhenzhen.
