Chapter 1179 The Helplessness of Empathy

Xu Shengqing cleared his throat, bringing the atmosphere back on track.

"I called you here today because I have something important to discuss with you. As you know, we old guys can't really do much besides talking behind the scenes."

"For a full ten years, Lin Yi has not returned to Blue Star. He must have encountered considerable trouble outside. I think we can't let Lin Yi bear the future of Blue Star alone. We need to take action. I wonder what you and Sun Dachuan think? With the two of you leading the team, how about developing other planets as a foothold for Blue Star professionals?"

When she mentioned this, a hint of disappointment appeared in Nangong Ling's beautiful eyes.

Nangong Ling would always react like this when she heard Lin Yi's name.

The dean of Shenxiao has been missing for ten years.

Every time Nangong Ling returned to Shenxiao, the students would always ask when the mysterious Dean would come to guide them again.

The other deans, including the principal, will also ask questions.

But how could Nangong Ling know that?

No one wanted Lin Yi to carry a heavy burden; everyone wanted to share some of the pressure with him.

Unfortunately, I don't have that ability.

"He didn't give me any specific arrangements or a development plan for the future of Earth. I think this idea is feasible. Over the years, we have been limited in our development speed and disrupted our development plans due to material issues. The root cause is that leaving the planet is too troublesome."

"Leaving the planet will indeed cause trouble, but opportunities and challenges go hand in hand. Since the leaders have put forward this idea, I, Nangong Ling, must support it. We really can't expect our junior to solve all the problems. I also hope to give him a surprise when he comes back."

The meeting went very smoothly after the entire planet Blue Star united.

When everyone puts the collective interest first, the proposed solutions are usually passed smoothly, without any arguments or infighting.

Just as the plan was finalized and Nangong Ling was about to form an expedition team, a powerful aura suddenly descended upon the meeting room.

Indeed, the owner of this powerful aura is none other than the old man Gongshu.

The moment the aura surrounding him dissipated, the slovenly old man appeared in everyone's sight.

Everyone looked at the old man in front of them with curiosity:

What's this old guy up to? He suddenly ran out without even getting dressed properly. What's he planning to do?

"Come, come, everyone, take a look. Is Lin Yi even human? Look at the message he sent me. He actually told the Immortal King that I had mastered the Enhancement Technique. Good heavens, he sold me out so easily."

The message was concise and clear.

In the message, Lin Yi said that he told the Immortal King about Gongshu Laotou's abilities. The Immortal King was very happy and asked Lin Yi to come and take Gongshu Laotou away to work for the Immortal King.

When he first received the news, the old man Gongshu was furious.

He and the Celestial King had a conflict that could lead to the extermination of their clans.

Yes, this matter has indeed happened many years ago, thousands of years ago. Logically speaking, the old man Gongshu should be able to face this past, but he is still very angry.

He turned to look at Nangong Ling.

"Come here, girl, look at this kid. Is he even human? For the past few years, I've devoted myself to the development of this planet. I've put in a lot of effort, even if I haven't achieved anything. And this kid Lin Yi betrayed me. He's my father's killer, no, my clan's annihilation enemy! When we meet again, I can't even take revenge. I have to grovel and work for that guy. Isn't this pure torture?"

The old man Gongshu was right.

Over the years, this old man has worked diligently for the development of Blue Star.

I have done right by Lin Yi, and I have done right by everyone on Earth.

Making this old man do such a thing is indeed very torturous for him.

However, everyone knows Lin Yi's character well and knows he wouldn't betray his comrades. He must have his own compelling reasons for doing so.

All they could probably do was comfort Old Man Gongshu on Lin Yi's behalf.

"Come, come, Senior Gongshu, please take a seat of honor."

Xu Sheng greeted the old man Gongshu with a smile.

"When we saw this news, we were quite angry too. Lin Yi is a real scoundrel. He actually asked you to work for the Immortal King. Why didn't he just do it himself? Why did he have to torture you like this?"

"Yes, yes, Lord Gongshu, we've wronged you in this matter."

As soon as Lin Yi sent this message, and the old man Gongshu made a scene, the leaders of various countries understood what Lin Yi meant.

They immediately began to comfort the old man Gongshu.

Aside from not being good at fighting, how could they not be good at talking?

With everyone's agreement and comfort, you have to admit, Old Man Gongshu's mood improved considerably; at least he wasn't as angry about Lin Yi's actions anymore.

"Senior Gongshu, you see, to win every battle, you must know yourself and your enemy. I think Lin Yi also considered this point. If you go to work for the Immortal King, you might be able to get in touch with the key to defeating him. Can you tell me in detail how Lin Yi arranged things?"

After Xu Sheng's words, the old man Gongshu felt much better.

They also patiently began to talk.

Seeing Lin Yi's arrangements, Xu Sheng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Over the years, he has visited Lin Yi's parents quite often.

Xu Shengke watched as the wrinkles on Lin Yi's parents' faces increased little by little.

Yes, as a hero of Blue Star, Lin Yi has countless admirers and people who want to curry favor with him. There are so many people who want to fulfill their filial duties to this great hero who has gone far away that they can't even keep up with the demand.

Yes, Mr. and Mrs. Lin Guodong will not feel lonely or isolated.

But the fact that they can't see their own children is something that can't be changed.

Seeing that Lin Yi had no intention of coming back and only planned to pick up the person and leave, Xu Sheng felt somewhat sad.

He was also a parent, so he naturally knew what Lin Guodong and his wife were thinking.

It is indeed a glorious thing for one's ancestors to have their son become a hero of the entire planet and the core of the planet.

But what parent doesn't want their son to be safe and sound, without having to worry about them while they're away?

"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Senior Gongshu, you should get ready and go with Lin Yi."

"Before we put our plan into action, Nangong Ling, why don't you come with me?"

Blue Star, Imperial Capital, District G.

This place has developed rapidly and is no longer what it used to be.

Although this is not Area A of the capital city, nor a military stronghold, the defenses here are no less stringent than those in Area A.

The most powerful war gods come here to change shifts, all to ensure the safety of the parents of the heroes of Blue Star.

Of course, Xi Yue was able to protect Lin Yi's parents' safety. They knew that their presence might not be of much significance, but it was an attitude they had to show.

With their son not around, but their future daughter-in-law present, Lin Guodong and his wife found considerable comfort.
