Chapter 127 - Thief?
Chapter 127 Thief?
Dong Fang frowned with a dissatisfied expression.
“Kid, what are you saying? What do you mean by helping you one last time? You mean… after helping you, we won’t be friends anymore?”
Chu Nan opened his mouth and was speechless.
“Let me remind you again. It’s the era of the Milky Way now. Even if it’s hundreds of light-years away, it’s nothing. We can arrive using a spacecraft in a minute…” “How can it be just a minute…” Chu Nan could not help but refute.
“Cut the crap!” Dong Fang waved his hand and interrupted Chu Nan, “Even if the spaceship is not that convenient, there’s still the Milky Way Network. It’s very easy to contact them. Unless you want to stop being friends with me in the future and decide not to contact me anymore, what do you mean by this is the last time? Are you looking down on
me?”
Chu Nan did not expect that his casual words would provoke Dong Fang to complain and he could only raise his hands in surrender.
“Alright, I was wrong. Stop talking nonsense. I want you to help me now. Will you help
me?”
“Help! Of course I can help!” Dong Fang patted his chest forcefully, “I, Dong Fang, have always granted my friends’ requests. People call me the most trustworthy brother. Tell me, what do you want me to help?”
“What nonsense…” Chu Nan helplessly rolled his eyes,” I asked you to help… Uh, Dong Fang, I think your network should be wider than mine and you should have more contact outside. Help me pay attention to the information regarding the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate in the future.”
“What? Is this information not enough?”
“The more the better.”
“Understood.” Dong Fang snapped his fingers, indicating that he knew.
Looking at Chu Nan lowering his head to read the information again, a trace of hesitation suddenly flashed through Dong Fang’s eyes before he calmed down.
“Chu Nan, have you… thought about what to do in the future?”
Chu Nan raised his head in shock.
“I’m going to register for Star Cloud Academy and strive to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate. What else can I do?”
“I mean… cough… I mean what if you’re unable to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate like Mu Yutong and the others said? What do you plan to do?” Dong Fang asked.
Chu Nan’s expression changed slightly and he understood Dong Fang’s meaning.
“Are you planning to ask about my life arrangements?”
“That’s about the same thing,” Dong Fang said. “Look, if you can’t break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate, you’ll at most be an Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist. It’s nothing at all. It’s almost impossible to rely on this life. As for the others… When Uncle Chu and the others came last time, they said that they hoped that you could stay on the Purple Cloud Planet in the future to inherit the farm. However, you’re unwilling to be a farmer for your entire life, right?”
Chu Nan pondered for a moment and smiled bitterly, “Although I’m not very willing, if it’s as you say and I’m still unable to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate, I’m afraid I can only resign myself to fate and obediently be a farmer on the Purple Cloud Planet. I have no other choice.”
“No, you do.” Dong Fang looked at Chu Nan with a serious expression, “If you… cough, I’m saying ‘if’. If you can’t break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate in the future and decide to give up on the path of martial arts, it’s best you tell me. I might… be able to give you a suitable arrangement.”
Chu Nan narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Dong Fang in silence.
After a while, Dong Fang was defeated. He sighed and waved his hand.
“Alright, alright. I knew that with your temper, you wouldn’t accept it. Pretend I didn’t say anything.”
“No, you’ve misunderstood.” Chu Nan shook his head, “Dong Fang, I don’t treat this as your pity. I just… can’t give you a definite answer. I only have one goal in mind now, and that is to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate and become a truly powerful martial artist. Do you understand?”
“Hmm… I understand. Therefore, just treat what I said as nonsense. There are no ifs. You can definitely break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate!” Dong Fang nodded very seriously, “Of course, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, don’t forget that you have me as your friend.”
Chu Nan looked at Dong Fang for a while and revealed an extremely brilliant smile.
“Of course. Who asked you to be my friend?”
An hour later, in the extremely huge Vika Goddess Star System space station, Chu Nan raised his hand and waved it at Dong Fang who had already stepped into the transfer passageway.
Looking at Dong Fang’s figure gradually disappearing into the passageway and being completely obstructed by the crowd, Chu Nan did not have much worry about parting.
It was not because his relationship with Dong Fang was bad, but because Dong Fang was right. It was the era of the Great Milky Way now. It was not an insurmountable chasm hundreds of light-years away. If they wanted to meet, there would always be a chance. It only depended on whether they were willing
or not.
With the support of the Milky Way Network, the connection that was hundreds of light-years away was extremely relaxed. How could there be any unfamiliarity?
After watching Dong Fang leave, Chu Nan opened his personal terminal and checked. After confirming that the next flight to the Akua Star System would leave in three hours, he walked towards another waiting hall.
As he walked, Chu Nan opened his personal terminal and seized the opportunity to continue studying the precious information Yu Tingfeng had given him. “Stop him!”
He had only taken a few steps when a sharp cry suddenly sounded in the distance.
Chu Nan raised his head in surprise and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw a slightly chubby woman in a red dress shouting in the distance.
Turning around, he saw a short figure covered in black clothes quickly fleeing from the crowd. He knocked over a few tourists along the way, causing a commotion.
“No way…”
Chu Nan looked at the situation in surprise and could not believe his eyes.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of situation would only happen in ancient television dramas. It was one thing for it to appear in a rural place like the Purple Cloud Planet, but why did it happen in an extremely tight security space station like the Vika Goddess Star System?
Did this thief really think he could escape all the monitoring and automatic guard robots in the space station?
However, no matter what happened later, from the looks of it, this black shadow darted around in the crowd. Even if the automatic guard robot had already reacted and started to pursue, it could not catch up at all.
If this situation continued, he might really escape for now.
Seeing that the black shadow was gradually approaching him under the encirclement of the automatic guards, Chu Nan glanced and quietly took two steps back. He turned his body slightly and listened to the sounds in the distance. He lowered his head and pretended to focus on looking at the virtual screen of his personal terminal.
As he heard the voice getting closer, Chu Nan quickly calculated these data in his mind. At the last moment, he slowly took a step forward.
That black shadow had already arrived. Chu Nan stepped out and it happened to be the place where his right foot landed.
His foot stepped on Chu Nan’s foot accurately and his body immediately lost balance.
However, this person’s reaction was also extremely fast. As soon as his body tilted, he took the opportunity to slap Chu Nan. It seemed that he planned to borrow Chu Nan’s body to stabilize himself.
However, Chu Nan happened to lean back and avoided his palm.
That person exclaimed softly and twisted his waist. Internal Breath surged out from the spot where he stepped on Chu Nan. It was obvious that he wanted to use the recoil to bounce up again.
Chu Nan was slightly angry.
Although the Internal Breath that surged out from under this person’s feet was not especially powerful, if he was not prepared, his entire foot would be shattered by this kick.
This person seemed to be casual, but his attacks were actually so ruthless!
After all, Chu Nan was not an Internal Breath Martial Artist and could not mobilize his Internal Breath to circulate anywhere in his body at any time. At this moment, he did not have the time to mobilize his Internal Breath to defend.
However, his reaction was faster. The moment he felt Internal Breath coming from the other party’s feet, his ankle shook and he gently raised his foot diagonally.
That person’s body immediately tilted again and could not be stepped on.
Chu Nan’s body instantly leaned forward and he spat out his left fist from his waist. He bluntly used the Sitting Horse Stab Fist and struck the right ribs of that person.
Bang!
With a low muffled sound, that person was sent flying by Chu Nan’s punch that contained Second Revolution Internal Breath.
He twisted his body in the air. When he landed, he discovered that he was already surrounded by the automatic guard robots. There was no gap to escape.
That person cursed in a low voice and turned to look at the direction where Chu Nan was just now. However, he discovered that the place had already become empty, and there was no figure left.
