Chapter 1666: Driven Out

Chapter 1666: Chapter 1666: Driven Out

The distant Milky Way.

Lanyue Star.

Just after nightfall, the temperature dropped sharply. Mu Jianling, who only had a thin coat on, stood outside the window, gazing at the endless starry sky.

Behind her was Dr. Luo.

Mu Jianling had evidently been standing for quite some time, her expression focused. Even as Dr. Luo opened the door from outside, entered, and stood behind her for several minutes, she didn’t notice.

Dr. Luo waited a moment, seeing Mu Jianling still unresponsive, she couldn’t help but speak: "Jianling, you said yesterday that the physical strength of these students could be improved. I have re-formulated the Body Refining Medicine according to their physical data. Additionally, there’s a nutritional meal that must be taken step by step as I require, step by step, steadily. There’s no shortcut medicine for body building; even with the medicine, training must be done systematically, beware."

Dr. Luo seemed a bit verbose, and her speech wasn’t concise, but she couldn’t care less right now. Seeing Mu Jianling in such a silent state, Dr. Luo felt a bit worried and continued to nag, saying: "Wasn’t the local weather forecast on Lanyue Star already broadcasted to predict the temperature drop? Didn’t your smart steward remind you to change clothes?"

"Also—at such a low temperature, why isn’t the house’s temperature system turned on?" Dr. Luo didn’t agree, and took the initiative to adjust the temperature properly.

At this moment—

Mu Jianling finally turned around, looked at Dr. Luo, and said: "Luo Wei, since when did you switch careers to being a babysitter? I think your housekeeping skills don’t compare to my nanny robot, which has a huge advantage—quiet. You can’t do that; you’re too noisy."

Dr. Luo: "..."

Seeing her return to normal, Dr. Luo snorted and said: "You can’t expect ivory from a dog’s mouth, I won’t stoop to your level."

After speaking.

Dr. Luo handed the documents to Mu Jianling, then stepped to leave.

Mu Jianling saw how the other person decisively retreated, and didn’t bother, just maintained her usual stony look, patiently waited for 1 second.

Sure enough—

Dr. Luo stopped, turned around once more with a look of irritation and said: "If you have something to say to me, hurry up and say it, I’m very busy."

Mu Jianling pointed outside the door and said: "The door’s there, take care on your way out."

Dr. Luo: "..."

Dr. Luo, looking exasperated, conceded defeat saying: "Alright, alright, I came over finding excuses to chat with you. Speaking of, Ji You, that little rascal, has been gone for a while now, isn’t it unclear whether they’ve smoothly entered the Space Rift?"

She felt anxious inside.

As a result, Dr. Luo found she was the only one anxious, Principal Hong was calm, Mu Jianling was unusually composed, and others were even more so...

Everyone seemed to have completely forgotten about this matter.

The problem is—Doctor Luo couldn’t forget.

For some reason, ever since Ji You and the others left, during this period, Dr. Luo missed Ji You’s grinning face and that crowd of reckless kids. Seeing none of these brats scampering around the campus, she was quite unaccustomed.

Especially—

Not seeing Ji You’s pig face really made her uneasy.

After saying this, Dr. Luo held back from saying more.

She didn’t believe Mu Jianling wasn’t worried in the slightest.

Sure enough—

Mu Jianling didn’t remain silent for long, and said: "With the Second Legion’s elite paving the way, if they still can’t enter the Space Rift, then they might as well come back to raise pigs early."

Dr. Luo: "..."

Dr. Luo retorted: "If they come back to raise pigs, won’t that be embarrassing?"

Mu Jianling coldly replied: "I’m not embarrassed, they’ve already been expelled from the sect, why would I feel embarrassed?"

Dr. Luo: "..."

A moment of speechlessness, Dr. Luo suddenly said: "However, the opening of this Space Rift is not the same as before, what if..."

"No ’what if’s." Mu Jianling’s voice didn’t fluctuate, stating: "As a Mechanical Warrior and a future Alliance Soldier, they will ultimately face death, either their own or their comrades’... Early rehearsal, early experience is inevitable."

Dr. Luo felt her breath catch.

This statement meant Mu Jianling was prepared for casualties.

Dr. Luo suddenly felt more uncomfortable.

Silence.

After a moment, Dr. Luo said: "Then why aren’t you sleeping, standing foolishly by the window looking at the stars? From so far away, the piece of starry sky you’re looking at isn’t necessarily where they are now."

Mu Jianling stood straight, appearing unaffected, but the slight tremble at her fingertip still revealed a tiny bit of emotion.

Dr. Luo secretly curled her lips.

Seriously—

Caring so much, yet pretending to be indifferent.

Today, Dr. Luo certainly didn’t come to Mu Jianling for a chat and to deepen mutual anxiety. She suddenly asked: "Jianling, did you remove that set of genes from Heavenly Dog?"

Mu Jianling paused all over.

Dr. Luo looked at her, her tone certain and said: "You definitely removed it!"

Mu Jianling didn’t deny it, nor did she speak.

Dr. Luo watched her with a resigned look and said: "Even though that gene set has been completely damaged and can no longer be repaired, it has to be removed from Heavenly Dog eventually. But removing it inside the Space Rift is still very cruel."

Why?

Because, this means Heavenly Dog is doomed to be unable to locate that special Plane from this set of genes.

This damaged gene fragment on Heavenly Dog, although completely useless, is a gene fragment of another Plane’s creature, and it’s a special gene fragment. People with strong spiritual power can use it to vaguely sense a bit of the specific location of that Plane.

Mu Jianling removing this gene fragment in advance means she’s completely killed Heavenly Dog’s chance of finding Ye Lin’s burial ground.

Thinking of this, Dr. Luo couldn’t help but take a deep breath, saying: "Heavenly Dog doesn’t know, if it knew, it’d surely fall out with you..."

Mu Jianling coldly said: "I don’t care."

Dr. Luo was taken aback.

Mu Jianling’s tone was colder: "I’m only fulfilling a promise to its previous owner."

Dr. Luo: "..."

Taking a deep breath, Dr. Luo said: "Just a promise? I thought your determination to ensure Heavenly Dog’s existence was to leave some yearning for Ye Lin."

Mu Jianling raised her eyelids, gave Dr. Luo a faint glance, and said: "You overthink. Also—"

Mu Jianling stepped forward, pulled open the door, saying: "You can leave now."

Dr. Luo: "..."

Just a single word out of place and she’s kicked out.

Does she not care about her face?

Mu Jianling said: "Take care on your way out."

Dr. Luo glared at her, trotted out and stomped away.

Behind, came a sentence—

"Getting kicked out is because you’re too noisy. Remember to say a few words less next time, I might look at your big face and let you stay a few more seconds."

Dr. Luo: "..."

Dr. Luo felt if she listened a few more sentences, her blood pressure would rise. Forget it, she won’t torture herself, turning around immediately to leave.
