Chapter 92 - Interstellar Internet Celebrity Raises a Bun

Chapter 92: Chapter 90: Interstellar Internet Celebrity Raises a BunYun Hai would spare no privilege to find Ye Qiu, a move that was promptly noticed by Jiang Long, who was returning to Capital Star at the same time. An hour later, Yun Hai, along with his grandson, rushed to the Military District Hospital, and the two parties successfully met at the hospital entrance.

"Uncle Yun," Jiang Long gave Yun Hai a military salute.

Yun Hai narrowed his eyes, shrewd and calculating, and said casually: "Jiang Long, shouldn’t you be on Rebellion Star at this time?"

Jiang Long kept his eternally unchanging, icy expression, and indifferently replied: "I’m just back to see a friend." He then changed the tone and asked, "Is Uncle Yun here to see a doctor?"

Yun Hai chuckled: "What a coincidence, I too am here to visit a friend."

Both of them knew very well that the person they were looking to meet was probably the same, as Jiang Long had already known about Yun Hai’s extensive search for Ye Qiu, and according to the information Yun Hai found, Ye Qiu was indeed arranged to be in the hospital by the Jiang Family.

However, both parties were simultaneously feeling regret and relief; regret that their own family couldn’t monopolize the new Body Forging Technique, relieved that both of their families were military, not letting the government gain control over the new Body Forging Technique.

At the same time, they couldn’t help but suspect whether Ye Qiu’s injury was caused by someone from the government, as it was a critical period for the elections. If the government were to master this technique, it would be very disadvantageous for them.

"Uncle Yun, after you," said Jiang Long, stepping back half a step, and Yun Hai, not standing on ceremony, walked at the front of the group.

At this moment, Ye Qiu was unaware that her livestream had attracted the heads of two major interstellar aristocratic families. Searᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

There she was, holding her optical computer, staring blankly at the ten-million reward she got, after one night of viral spread, her follower count had already broken through five hundred million, and the comments under her video were of all sorts.

Among them were sharp-eyed viewers who vaguely recognized the power of the brand-new Body Forging Technique; but more were skeptical, feeling she was sensationalizing for attention, yet it didn’t stop Ye Qiu from becoming famous, going straight to the top of interstellar social media search.

The ten-million reward, after deducting the website’s cut, left Ye Qiu with five million, instantly solving her financial difficulties. The video’s popularity was within her expectations, but she didn’t expect it to happen so swiftly; however, it was just in time. With the Body Forging Technique as her ace, even if Qin Shu’s backer, the Qin Family, took action against her, they would have to weigh the consequences.

But what she wanted wasn’t just self-preservation. Qin Shu was the direct cause of the tragedy that befell her family, but if it weren’t for the Qin Family’s indulgence, Qin Shu wouldn’t have been so unbridled.

However, as long as she collaborated with the military, the influence of the Qin Family, which belonged to the political faction, would surely be weakened, and sooner or later, she would make Qin Shu also taste the flavor of despair.

Su Qing, who was accompanying Ye Qiu in the ward, widened her eyes and gaped at the news in her hands, shocked as she stared at Ye Qiu.

"What’s wrong?" Ye Qiu noticed her expression and asked in bewilderment.

"Ye Qiu, my father-in-law is downstairs," said Su Qing with a complex look in her eyes.

"So soon?" Seeing Su Qing’s troubled face, Ye Qiu continued to ask, "Is there anything else?"

Su Qing took a deep breath and said gravely, "With my father-in-law, came Old Marshal Yun!"

This indeed surprised Ye Qiu; had the Old Marshal been disturbed by this?

Old Marshal Yun’s influence on the interstellar was profound. Not only was he currently the sole Level 9 practitioner of the Body Technique in the interstellar, but he had also participated in countless interstellar wars from a young age. Some say that if Old Marshal Yun had not been injured several times when young, he might have become the fourth Level 10 practitioner of the Body Technique in history.

He dedicated his life to the peace of the interstellar, and it was only when his body was worn out that he reluctantly retired. All along, he has been the guardian god of the interstellar people, his prestige even higher than that of the president.

Now that Ye Qiu heard that Old Marshal Yun had personally come, how could she not be astonished? This was exactly the reason for Su Qing’s shock.

"Knock knock..." In a moment of distraction, Marshal Yun and Jiang Long’s entourage had already reached the door of the ward. Su Qing quickly stood up to open the door, while Ye Qiu, dragging her injuries, also got out of bed.

"No need, no need, just sit, please." Marshal Yun said to Ye Qiu with a cheerful smile.

"I’m truly sorry for the sudden visit, but I was just too excited, and I hope I haven’t disturbed you." Yun Hai expressed his apologies with a kind and courteous appearance.

In reality, given his current stature, there was no need for such politeness, but his ability to lead his family to the forefront of the interstellar era was never based on arrogance. At the very least, Ye Qiu felt recognized and believed that even if she shared the Body Forging Technique with the Yun Family, they wouldn’t be ungrateful.

"You’re too kind. It should have been me who visited you," Ye Qiu said politely and calmly.

Her instant recovery of composure also made Yun Hai and Jiang Long hold her in higher regard.

After the pleasantries, Yun Hai’s smile faded, and he seriously said: "You should know the reason for our visit. May I know who is the Master you mentioned in the video?"

"Sorry, I can’t answer that," Ye Qiu said with a face full of refusal, as if there was no room for negotiation.

Yun Hai didn’t get angry; just the fact that Ye Qiu had released a brand-new Body Forging Technique to the public free of charge was enough to earn his respect. Of course, he didn’t rule out that this was her way of deliberately attracting their attention, but regardless of the motive, he knew the significant influence the new Body Forging Technique would have on the interstellar community, and that Ye Qiu must be treated with care.

"So was it also your Master’s request to spread the new Body Forging Technique?"

"Correct."

Yun Hai fell silent. Could there really be such altruistic experts in the world, seeking neither fame nor profit? He genuinely wanted to meet them.

"But I do have a purpose," Ye Qiu said, segueing the conversation, making Yun Hai slightly relax. Demands were good; it would be worrisome if there were none.

"May I know what your and your Master’s requests are? Please be assured that as long as you do not endanger the security of the alliance, we will not interfere with your actions," Yun Hai said earnestly.

"We are not," Ye Qiu shook her head, then continued, "I’m merely to ensure my own safety."

Jiang Long, who had been listening all the while, frowned, "Is it because of yesterday’s assassination? Do you know who was behind the attempt on your life? My subordinates mentioned that the assassins were no ordinary killers, but this was also a lapse on our alliance’s part – that a citizen almost lost their life on Capital Star. Rest assured, we’ll intensify our investigation and ensure that no one who flouts the law gets off scot-free."

"Assassins?" Yun Hai’s face darkened, "Is it because they also knew about the new Body Forging Technique?" But that doesn’t make sense; if they knew about the technique, kidnapping for ransom would be more profitable.

"No, they just wanted my life," Ye Qiu shook her head.

"Do you know who it was?" Jiang Long pressed.

"If I said it was someone from the Qin Family, would you believe me?" A cold light flickered in the depths of Ye Qiu’s eyes.

The Qin Family? Isn’t Mr. Qin the leading candidate in this election? Moreover, his political policies have always been in opposition to the Military Department, but why would the illustrious Qin Family target a mere orphan?

"I’ll have my men look into the Qin Family’s involvement," Jiang Long promised her.

"Although I do not expect that bit of evidence to uncover the real culprit, I still thank you, Uncle," Ye Qiu said sincerely.
