Lord of the Milky Way - C280

Two days after handing in the useful information that he extracted from the Jumbo Group’s core computer.

Xia Mang also successfully obtained the video recording of Ouyang Xiong intentionally destroying the goods.

After handing everything over to Long Yongkang, Xia Mang waved his hand casually in the face of the latter’s endless thanks.

It was just like a poem where one waved their sleeves and didn’t bring away a single cloud.

In fact, this was indeed the case. The other party had supported him during his most dire times, and now that he had repaid his debt, it was only right that he should do so.

It was the same thing as Long Junxuan, and it was also the same thing as Long Yongkang.

The same thing is the same thing, there’s nothing to say about it.

It’s just that towards Long Junxuan, he might feel a bit of resentment in his heart. He did not know which direction Long Junxuan would head towards in the future for this grudge.

After completing his mission.

Xia Mang then went back into the special level training room to continue his special training mission.

Although his current level of evolution was incredible, it still couldn’t be a reason for him to slack off.

Time passed day by day.

During this period of time, he had talked with Long Yongkang a few times. He understood that Long Junxuan’s mental state was indeed improving under the music’s baptism, so he was relieved.

To Xia Mang’s surprise.

On this day, Long Junxuan personally called.

Xia Mang unnaturally picked up the call, and a low male voice came from the other side: “Xia Mang, are you free?”

“Let’s meet outside.”

This voice sounded like Long Junxuan’s, although it still sounded somewhat dejected and gloomy, it was at least filled with personal feelings, and at least he could hear a bit of guilt, which meant that his mental state was recovering pretty well.

“When?”

Although he was unwilling, Xia Mang asked patiently.

“Where are you now?”

“Origin City.”

“Oh, it’s a bit far. How about this, tomorrow morning or tonight, when do you think it’s more appropriate?”

“Only me?”

“No, I also called Ye Fei, Ma Yue and the others. As for Du Kang and the rest, I don’t really want them to know about this.”

“This… “Well, tonight.”

Xia Mang thought about it and agreed.

No matter how the other party viewed his position in the circle, the friendship was real after all. The things that had helped him in the past couldn’t be wiped clean without saying, and just from this point alone, Xia Mang had a reason to overcome his unwillingness to go over there.

The signal was cut off.

Xia Mang then drove the car back.

This time was just like last time, they were both long-distance raids, and when they arrived at Anhuang City, it was already sunset.

The restaurant that Long Junxuan had agreed on with was a private room in a normal restaurant.

Xia Mang looked for the location on the map and went straight in, realizing that Ye Fei and the others were already there.

“Xia Mang.”

Long Junxuan took the lead and stood up, his eyes flashing with an extremely sincere apology.

However, Xia Mang only lightly pressed his hands together and said four words: “Sit down first before saying anything.”

After they sat down, the dishes were served.

The silent dining table was finally broken by Long Junxuan. He raised his wine cup and sighed: “I’ll punish myself with a cup. I’ve let down my brothers with the previous matter.”

“Don’t, don’t, don’t. Aren’t we still brothers in the future? Brothers make mistakes, they should understand, cheers. ”

Ye Fei and the others also raised their cups and said.

But Xia Mang was not so free and easy.

He still sat on the chair without moving, and did not express any intention to forgive Long Junxuan.

Upon seeing this, the latter somewhat awkwardly finished the cup of wine in one gulp and sat back down.

With regards to Xia Mang’s reaction, Ye Fei and Yue Yang also felt that it was a little tricky.

After all, the words that Long Junxuan had said to him before were indeed too hurtful.

“Xia Mang, I sincerely apologize to you. The words I said before, sigh, are all nonsense.”

Long Junxuan suddenly slapped himself in the face.

The loud voice scared Xia Mang, “Don’t be like that, if you have anything to say, just say it, you don’t have to.”

“No, I don’t. I can’t even forgive myself.”

Long Junxuan slapped himself ten more times.

Seeing this, Ye Fei and the other two were extremely terrified, they forcefully stopped and stood still.

After Xia Mang experienced the initial shock, he allowed Long Junxuan to move freely and quietly eat his own melon seeds.

Long Junxuan was stopped, only then did he sigh: “Sigh, these few days I finally understand, I was previously completely possessed, and really hope that you can forgive me, and I’ll apologize to you again.”

At this point, he stood up again and bowed deeply.

“There’s really no need for you to do that. We have things to talk about, so we can just skip apologizing.”

Xia Mang waved his hand.

Long Junxuan’s heart went cold when he heard that. “I was just afraid that you wouldn’t forgive me.”

“Haha, Long Junxuan, if you weren’t Goldfish, you should still have an impression of what you said before, and how you would feel if you changed your position and thought. If that was the case, how would you feel if I were to tell you?”

Xia Mang pursed his lips.

Long Junxuan nodded heavily. “I really did not mean it.”

Xia Mang decisively interrupted them, “Do you believe what you just said? We are no longer children. We are no longer the high school students from back then; we are already 18 years old. We have already reached adulthood, so no matter what we say or do, even if we lose our minds, we will still have a sense of propriety. ”

“Since you said those words and even made such an intense action towards Xue Qing, if you want to say that it was unintentional, I’ll ask you. Do you believe that reason yourself?”

Long Junxuan could not help but be speechless.

Xia Mang continued to speak: “So don’t bother looking for these reasons, I came back because I still have the same friendship that I had with you back then.”

“But that doesn’t mean I’ll forgive you that way, old! “Dragon!”

The last two words, should have been the most ordinary form of address in the past, but Xia Mang said it with sonorous and powerful voice. After Ye Fei and Yue Shan heard this, they both became silent.

It was indeed like this. They were already adults, and they all spoke with a sense of propriety. If they didn’t have such thoughts, they definitely wouldn’t show it in their words or actions.

Since Long Junxuan had not only shown it, but showed it unrestrainedly and vividly, it was enough to explain many problems.

“I had originally thought that you were my true friend and that you had treated me like a friend from the bottom of your heart. Who would have thought that in your heart, I would forever be that useless person who needed your charity and had been isolated by the entire class.”

Xia Mang lightly said as he poured the wine, “It’s said that strong alcohol burns the heart, but I felt that the more I drink this wine, the colder my heart became. I never thought that you would look down at me like that from the bottom of your heart.”

“Old Long, it’s not that you misjudged me. Rather, I’ve always been the one putting on an act.”

After saying that, Long Junxuan immediately denied: “No, I’m not.”

“I’ve already said it before, you should know it better than anyone.”

Xia Mang looked at him seriously: “Old Long, don’t worry, in the future, if you need my help, I will definitely help you as usual. But in my heart, this kind of help is just to repay your help in the past, it won’t just be as a friend.”

“I will fix my own position, and at the same time, I will remember how lowly I used to be.

“Speaking to this point, Xia Mang directly finished the alcohol in his hand and placed it on the table, then brazenly stood up and left.

He had finished what he wanted to say.

Long Junxuan and the others only gradually regained their senses a few minutes after he left.

“Old Long, you might have lost this friend forever.”

Ye Fei lamented.

Ma Yue also nodded his head: “To be honest, I do not blame Xia Mang for this. His pride has always been strong, and in the past, when he was normal, it was the same.

“This time, you really did the wrong thing.”

After listening to the two brothers, Long Junxuan let out a long sigh, “I understand, but is there no way to fix it?”

“Boss, perhaps you can remedy the situation for the two of us.”

Ye Fei said in frustration: “But for Xia Mang, it might be very difficult.”

“I regret it!”

Long Junxuan violently took a gulp, tasted the burning sensation that filled his mouth, and then forcefully swallowed it as he growled in a low voice.

After leaving the restaurant.

Xia Mang was actually not feeling well either.

The bustling city air caused Xia Mang’s mind to go back to the time when he was just born and was not afraid of tigers and tigers. That period of time, although it was filled with all kinds of unpleasantness, as time passed and he aged, what did he get and what did he lose?

Finally, he had reached the height that he had once yearned for in his dreams.

However, to go out, one had to bring an inverted mask. It was a hypocritical greeting to face others whenever they saw it.

“Most of the time, we just stand in our own circles and look up at the lives of others, thinking that the sky is clear above their heads, and that we are the only ones who are always shrouded in haze.”

Xia Mang lamented as he boarded his own car.

Perhaps, only by training day and night could one avoid thinking about these depressing things.

Thinking of this, he could only put forth all of his strength and set off on the road back to Origin City … At this time, at the star system’s edge, where the Source Star was located, a huge interstellar battleship appeared. This interstellar battleship looked inferior to the Da Ke Planet’s sky-high mothership, but its equipment and materials were not something the latter could compare to.

“How much longer until we reach the source planet?”

“Captain, according to our current speed, we should arrive in about a week or so.”

“This is truly a godforsaken place, let me advance at full speed.”

“Understood.”

These people were the survey team from the Nine Elements Star.
