Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 308 Discussion
"Why did Ning Xuan disappear without anyone by herself? Yu Mingche, you've been by Ning Xuan's side all this time. Did you do something to upset her?" Ying Yaoshi questioned Yu Mingche.

Yu Mingche remained silent, having been reviewing Ning Xuan's words over the past few days to confirm that he had not found anything unusual.

Just then, the three of them simultaneously received a message sent by Ning Xuan at a set time, and they quickly read the contents of the message.

The letter began by telling them that she would contact them if anything came up. It then defended Yu Mingche and Lin Mo, telling Ying Yaoshi that her decision had nothing to do with the two of them, and asking him not to hold a grudge against Yu Mingche and Lin Mo.

Meanwhile, Ning Xuan instructed Yu Mingche and Ying Yaoshi to help Lin Mo conceal the puppet's secret and prevent anyone from approaching it. She had programmed the puppet clone to distinguish whether the injury stemmed from a mental issue or an excessively high mutation value. Depending on the specific problem, the puppet would administer different medications and provide standard treatment. These medications were all refined by Ning Xuan and were highly effective. The puppet clone was certain to perfectly complete Ning Xuan's treatment mission and would not be exposed under normal circumstances.

As for Ning Xuan's reason for doing this, there is only one: she doesn't want to only do healing-related tasks; she wants to participate in combat, to see what interstellar warfare is like, and thus improve her overall combat strength.

However, if she were to assume the role of a female leader, no legion would allow her to go to the front lines. Similarly, no contractor, including Yu Mingche, would stand by and watch her do whatever she wanted, regardless of who was by her side.

"What do we do now?" Lin Mo asked the other two.

“If she wants to go to the front lines, she can only disguise herself as a man. Every day, thousands upon thousands of starships pass through the outer space, and the number of men is countless. If we don’t want to alert those with ulterior motives, we simply cannot investigate. We can only wait.” Ying Yaoshi sighed.

"To ensure Ning Xuan's safety, everyone must believe that Ning Xuan is at the Second Legion headquarters. Lin Mo, you must provide proper cover. I will arrange for someone to assist you immediately. Make sure no unidentified person gets close to the puppet," Ying Yaoshi emphasized.

“I’ll send Chen Nan over now. Chen Nan is also Ning Xuan’s contractor, so he can be trusted. Lin Mo still has a military post and can’t be with the puppet all the time. When Lin Mo is in trouble, Chen Nan can take his place and stay by his contractor’s side,” Yu Mingche suggested.

"Didn't we just say that we can't let a fourth person know?" Ying Yaoshi frowned.

“The three of us can keep the specific details to ourselves. However, logically speaking, even if Ning Xuan enlists in the army, she can't be without someone to serve her. With so many people watching her, if we want to help Ning Xuan conceal information, the puppet avatar can't be left unattended. Ying Shuai can't go to the second battlefield, and I need to keep an eye on the Central Star Villa. I can only visit occasionally, and I can't stay for long. Di Youlin, Yun Han, and Lan Xin are all busy. Considering everything, Chen Nan is the most suitable candidate, and Jiuwei can go along too,” Yu Mingche said.

“Don’t rush to send people over. Wait a month or two before sending them. Also, I will collect all the intelligence data from the battlefields in each star system. If there is anything unusual, I will share it with you, and we can study it together to see if we can find any useful information. To ensure communication security, we need to use encrypted communication.” Ying Yaoshi said to Yu Mingche and Lin Mo.

"I will also collect information on any unusual movements of the major families, pay attention to their statements in various settings, and gather useful information. If I find any useful information, I will share it with you."

The core of their discussion was to conceal Ning Xuan's disappearance, making everyone believe she was at the Second Legion headquarters. They would then secretly gather information to determine her possible whereabouts. After finishing their discussion, they cut off communication. Ning Xuan was in a cramped cabin with four bunk beds. She sat on the upper bunk. The cabin was dark, damp, and had a foul odor. The unpleasant environment made Ning Xuan frown. She was used to traveling in clean, spacious, and luxurious cabins on starships; suddenly being in this dirty and chaotic environment was difficult for her to adjust to.

The starship she boarded was a troop transport ship bound for the front lines of the S-class battlefield. The identity information she was using was prepared in advance and could withstand any verification.

"Hey, kid with the scar on your face, it's you. The boss has his eye on you. Hurry up and come down to make the bed for our boss." A man with a horse-like face leaned against the door frame and pointed at Ning Xuan, shouting.

There were two other people beside him, grinning lewdly at Ning Xuan. The horse-faced man's lewd gaze lingered on Ning Xuan's collar. Ning Xuan's fingers, which were gripping the corner of the blanket, suddenly tightened. The already terrible environment had put her in a bad mood, and these people were just walking into the line of fire. Ning Xuan jumped off the bed and punched the horse-faced man to the ground.

The man fell backward, his head hitting the ground with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Before the other two could react, Ning Xuan swiftly kicked out twice, knocking them both to the ground.

Mental combat is prohibited inside troop transport ships, but physical exchanges and blows are not permitted.

Ning Xuan was dressed in the style of clothes commonly worn by young men from the commoner class, with her hair styled in a man's style and her chest bound. A black scar across her entire left cheek was made with ghost vine, extending from her brow bone to her jawline. Her skin tone was also concealed by darkening it several shades. Ning Xuan looked in the mirror and realized that even if Yu Mingche and the others stood in front of her, they would not recognize her.

These people looked at Ning Xuan's slender figure and never expected that she would be so ruthless, with fists harder than steel.

She stepped on the horse-faced man's right hand, grinding his knuckles until they cracked. The man howled in pain, his face contorting as he yelled, "Ah, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Let go!"

“We’re all roommates, we were just joking with you, just kidding. Don’t react so strongly. If the supervisory department sees this, they’ll take us all away for a talk. Then we’ll all be in trouble,” another person chimed in from the side.

Ning Xuan sneered, "Are you kidding? I love joking. Isn't this just a joke I'm playing with you all?"

Ning Xuan stomped her feet, and "Ah!" came another pig-like scream.

"Is it funny?" Ning Xuan asked coldly.
