Chapter 127 An unexpected reunion
"Xingchen, Fairy Zhou is blinded by desire. There is no point in arguing with her." Nanli comforted Gao Xingchen softly and pulled him onto the interstellar teleportation array.
Gao Xingchen nodded slightly. Fairy Zhou's paranoia made him feel helpless, but also strengthened his determination to promote the peace plan. The bitter fruit of war should not be borne by the people under this starry sky.
Back at the Alliance headquarters, Gao Xingchen immediately threw himself into the tedious affairs. The lack of resources weighed on his mind like a huge rock, making it hard for him to breathe. He flipped through the star map, looking for every possible opportunity.
"Hmm?" A report from a remote star system attracted his attention. It was a resource star called "Blue Moon", which was rich in a rare mineral called "Star Stone", which was exactly the energy material that the Interstellar Alliance urgently needed.
However, the environment on Blue Moon Star is harsh and it is shrouded in cosmic storms all year round, making mining extremely difficult. Therefore, it has always been regarded as a waste by the Interstellar Alliance.
"Maybe we can give it a try." Gao Xingchen's eyes gradually became firm.
He immediately convened the top leaders of the alliance and proposed a plan to go to Blue Moon Star to mine Star Stone.
"Blue Moon Star? That's a place of death!"
"Yes, Xingchen, our current resources are simply not enough to support us in such a risky operation."
Senior executives expressed their opposition one after another, and their concerns were evident in their words.
Gao Xingchen took a deep breath. He knew this road was full of thorns, but he had no choice. "Everyone, I know this is risky, but we have no way out. The Star Stone is our only hope, and I am willing to lead the team there myself!"
Gao Xingchen's determination finally moved everyone and they agreed to his plan.
A few days later, a small starship quietly left the Interstellar Alliance headquarters and flew towards the distant Blue Moon Star. Gao Xingchen stood on the bridge, looking deeply at the starry sky, his heart full of worry and expectation. He was worried about the unknown risks of Blue Moon Star, and he was looking forward to finding the key to solving the problem there.
However, Gao Xingchen didn't know that Nan Li also went to Blue Moon Star secretly to raise resources. She didn't want to see Gao Xingchen bear the pressure alone, and she didn't want to see the hope of peace shattered.
Blue Moon Star was as desolate as the rumors said. Violent cosmic storms ravaged the planet, tearing the ground into hideous cracks. Gao Xingchen led the team to explore arduously, looking for the veins of Xingxuan Stone.
"Captain, look!" a team member exclaimed, pointing to a valley in the distance.
Gao Xingchen looked up and saw twinkling stars in the valley. That was the unique light of the Star Stone!
He was delighted and immediately led his team towards the valley.
However, just as they were about to reach the valley, a familiar figure appeared in his sight.
She was a slender woman in black clothes, holding a sharp blade, fighting fiercely with a group of vicious interstellar bandits.
"Nanli!" Gao Xingchen exclaimed. He never expected to meet Nanli here.
On the desolate land of Blue Moon Star, the wind howled, raising clouds of dust, as if playing a tragic prelude to this unexpected reunion.
Gao Xingchen's eyes were fixed on the familiar figure, and a storm surged in his heart. Since the last time they parted, he missed Nan Li all the time, missed the occasional tenderness in her cold eyes, and missed the strength her firm words brought to him.
"Nanli!" Gao Xingchen's voice was torn into pieces by the strong wind, but he was sure that Nanli must have heard his call.
Nan Li paused slightly, turned his head suddenly, and a hint of incredible surprise flashed in his eyes as bright as cold stars.
"Xingchen!" Nan Li exclaimed, and the sharp blade in his hand slid to the ground, making a crisp crash that echoed in the empty valley.
Without thinking too much, Gao Xingchen rushed over regardless of everything and hugged Nan Li in his arms.
"You're okay, I'm so glad!" Gao Xingchen's voice was choked with sobs. He hugged Nan Li tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.
Nan Li's body stiffened slightly, then relaxed, and she gently hugged Gao Xingchen back. Neither of them spoke, but just quietly felt each other's warmth and heartbeat.
After a long while, Gao Xingchen slowly let go of Nan Li. Looking at her slightly pale face, he asked distressedly, "Why are you here? It's too dangerous here!"
Nan Li smiled slightly, stretched out her hand to tidy up her hair that was messed up by the wind, and said, "I came here to look for the Xingxuan Stone. I know you need it."
Gao Xingchen felt warm in his heart. He knew that Nanli came to this dangerous planet for him. He was deeply moved by this friendship.
"You've seen the situation in the alliance. Fairy Zhou is obstructing it, and it's very difficult to raise resources." Gao Xingchen sighed and told Nan Li about the difficulties he encountered in the alliance.
Nan Li listened quietly, with a determined light flashing in her cold eyes. "Xingchen, I believe in you, and I also believe that peace will come. I will stay here and face the difficulties with you."
Gao Xingchen held Nanli's hand tightly, his eyes full of gratitude and love. "Thank you, Nanli."
As the sun sets, the figures of the two seem particularly long. They stand side by side on the top of the mountain, gazing into the distance.
However, what they didn't know was that in the starry sky not far from the Blue Moon Star, a small starship was hovering quietly.
Inside the starship's control room, Fairy Zhou listened to her subordinates' reports with a gloomy expression, and a resentful gleam in her eyes.
"They actually met again! Damn it!" Fairy Zhou slammed the table, her delicate face twisted into a ball.
"Notify everyone to closely monitor their actions and look for an opportunity..." Fairy Zhou lowered her voice, her tone filled with murderous intent.
The night sky of Blue Moon Star is dotted with stars. It seems peaceful, but it hides endless undercurrents. What kind of changes will the reunion of Gao Xingchen and Nan Li bring to this starry sky?
The night sky of Blue Moon Star is dotted with stars. It seems peaceful, but it hides endless undercurrents. At this time, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li stood side by side on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, completely unaware that danger was quietly approaching.
"Xingchen, I believe peace will come." Nanli's voice was as cold as moonlight, but it carried a strength that strengthened people's hearts.
Gao Xingchen turned around and looked at the woman beside him, feeling an infinite warmth in his heart. "Thank you, Nanli, it's great to have you by my side."
However, the tranquility at this moment was only the brief calm before the storm. In the starry sky not far from the Blue Moon Star, Fairy Zhou was listening to the report of her subordinates, with a haze on her delicate face.
"What did you say? They actually met again?" Fairy Zhou stood up suddenly, her tone full of disbelief and jealousy.
"It's absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes." The subordinate lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Fairy Zhou's angry gaze.
"Damn it! Why do they do that? Why does Gao Xingchen deserve Nanli's love?!" Fairy Zhou's heart was burning with rage. Her love for Gao Xingchen had long been distorted into a paranoid possessiveness.
Jealousy gnawed at Fairy Zhou's heart like a poisonous snake, making it impossible for her to think calmly. She clenched her fists, her knuckles turning white, and the scene of Gao Xingchen and Nan Li hugging each other kept flashing through her mind.
"No, I absolutely can't let them have it easy! I will destroy them!" There was a fierce flash in Fairy Zhou's eyes, and a vicious plan gradually took shape in her mind.
She knew that she couldn't defeat Gao Xingchen by force, so she decided to start with the person he cared about the most - Nan Li. Fairy Zhou used her influence in the alliance to spread negative news about Nan Li.
"Have you heard? Nanli was once a notorious interstellar killer with blood on his hands."
"I heard that she approached Gao Xingchen in order to steal confidential information from the alliance. She has ulterior motives!"
"Gao Xingchen was really deceived by her. He will regret it sooner or later!"
These rumors spread rapidly within the alliance like a virus, gradually fermenting into undercurrents of doubt and suspicion, impacting the trust between Gao Xingchen and Nan Li.
Fairy Zhou hid in the dark, watching her plan come true step by step, with a sinister smile on her face. She wanted Gao Xingchen to taste the feeling of being betrayed by the person she trusted the most, and finally have to return to her.
However, what Fairy Zhou didn't know was that Elder Jin had already seen all of this. He knew Fairy Zhou very well and was worried that Gao Xingchen would be deceived, so he decided to help him secretly.
"Gao Xingchen, Gao Xingchen, please don't let me down..." Elder Jin looked at the starry sky, sighed, his eyes full of worry.
Will Fairy Zhou succeed in her plot? How will the relationship between Gao Xingchen and Nan Li develop? Everything is full of unknowns, and the fate of Blue Moon Star is once again pushed to the forefront.
The night of the blue moon was quiet and deep. Gao Xingchen stood by the window, looking at the twinkling stars in the distance, but his heart was like a raging sea and it was difficult to calm down. Elder Jin's words echoed in his ears, and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart.
"Xingchen, you have to believe me. Fairy Zhou is spreading rumors, and her heart is damnable! She wants to alienate you and Miss Nanli!" Elder Jin was heartbroken and sighed, "You must not let her blind you!"
Gao Xingchen clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. His mind kept flashing through every detail of his encounter with Nan Li: her coldness when they first met, the tacit understanding when they fought side by side, the warmth when they smiled at each other... All of this was far from the scheming interstellar killer that Elder Jin had described.
"But, Elder, Nan Li did..." Gao Xingchen frowned, wanting to say something but stopping. He knew that Nan Li's past was not a blank sheet of paper, but he chose to believe her, believe that she had completely bid farewell to the past, and believe that she was sincere to him.
"I know you have doubts in your heart, but you have to trust your own judgment." Elder Jin patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "Some people, even if they have made mistakes in the past, deserve to be given a chance as long as they sincerely repent. Think carefully, what Miss Nanli has done these days, does it seem like she is deceiving you at all?"
Gao Xingchen was silent. He recalled how Nan Li had been running around for the cause of peace, risking her life; he recalled how she had been willing to take on powerful enemies in order to protect innocent people... These scenes appeared clearly before his eyes, and his doubts about Nan Li gradually dissipated.
"Elder, I believe in Nanli." Gao Xingchen raised his head with a firm look in his eyes, "I know what to do."
Elder Jin nodded with satisfaction, knowing that Gao Xingchen had made the right choice. However, the storm was far from over, and Fairy Zhou's conspiracy was still brewing in secret.
"Xingchen, you must remember that rumors stop at the wise. I believe that you and Miss Nanli will be able to withstand the test and resolve this crisis." Elder Jin advised earnestly.
Gao Xingchen nodded solemnly, his heart filled with gratitude and determination. He would not let Elder Jin down, nor would he let Fairy Zhou succeed in her plot. He would prove his love for Nan Li with his actions and crush all the rumors!
Gao Xingchen turned and walked out of the room. The night wind blew on his face, making him more clear-headed. He wanted to find Nan Li, tell her everything, and face the upcoming challenges together. He knew that their love journey was destined to be bumpy, but as long as they trusted each other and went forward hand in hand, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and usher in their bright future!
At this moment, Nan Li was standing on another mountain peak, looking into the distance. She didn't know about Fairy Zhou's conspiracy, and she didn't know that Gao Xingchen was in a dilemma because of her. She only knew that her love for Gao Xingchen was sincere, and she was willing to give everything for him, even her own life...
