I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Chapter 740 Yuan Qi Comes to the Door

When Jiang Qizhang heard her ask this, he shook his head.

"We haven't received any relevant intelligence yet. The people we've sent out are sending back messages every day. While eliminating the insects, they are also conducting investigations in various places. We will continue to keep an eye on things until the insectoids are completely eradicated."

With Xia Kingdom's current strength, even if one or two mother hives manage to escape unscathed, dealing with them wouldn't be difficult. After all, the biggest reason why the Zerg were so unstoppable in the past was their sheer numbers. The mother hives in various places were intertwined and coordinated, making it extremely difficult for humans to resist.

Mother nests are now almost extinct. Even if one or two remain in some places, they won't amount to much without the support of other mother nests.

"Xiao Su, you've worked hard these past two years too."

"Now that things are settled, are you planning to go back to the academy to rest?"

Su Mo has done enough; they will handle the wrap-up of the pest control operation.

Jiang Qizhang said, "Don't worry about the rest. Go back and rest. You'll be going to the front lines later, where you'll face another fierce battle with the Zerg."

"Eliminating the invaders is everyone's responsibility, and it's what I should do," Su Mo said, straightening his back.

Just thinking about the surge of spiritual energy in her space made her feel no hardship at all.

"However, the chairman is right. If I go to the front line, it will probably take up a lot of time. I need to go back and make some arrangements."

Jiang Qizhang smiled and nodded.

"That's true, but the staff at your college are quite good. They've probably gotten used to your long absences."

“You’ve been doing very well so far, so you don’t need to worry too much about it.”

Su Mo said, "The main thing is to arrange the development of the star system. The authorities have given me so many opportunities, so things should start as soon as possible."

"How long until we can set off?" Jiang Qizhang asked again.

"I'll try my best to leave by the end of this year or early next year."

"It'll probably take another six months..." Jiang Qizhang muttered to himself.

Su Mo pursed her lips.

"Six months is already a conservative estimate; I need at least..."

“No, I didn’t mean to rush you. You can leave after you’ve arranged everything. That way, you’ll feel at ease, and we’ll feel at ease too,” Jiang Qizhang said frankly. “It’s just that many people are waiting for the minerals that have been extracted.”

"Don't worry, President. I have already promised to only trade with the official channels within the specified period, and that promise will not change."

Su Mo turned her gaze, looking past Jiang Qizhang's shoulder towards the window behind her.

From this height, you can see a lot of scenery of the association headquarters through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the front wall.

"Actually, I also want to go to the front lines to see for myself."

Su Mo's voice was very soft, but Jiang Qizhang's eyelids twitched.

He asked in a serious tone, "You're not thinking of going to the Zerg's lair, are you?"

Su Mo was taken aback and turned his gaze back.

"We'll see how things go, if there's an opportunity."

really.

“Xiao Su, the Zerg lair is at the highest level of danger. Until we gather more accurate intelligence, you… you'd better not go there rashly,” Jiang Qizhang said solemnly.

If Su Mo were to perish in the Zerg's lair, it would be a major loss for Blue Star.

Touching his ear, Su Mo said awkwardly, "I meant if there's a chance. President, don't worry, I wouldn't risk my life."

"It's good that you understand."

Although Su Mo said that, Jiang Qizhang couldn't help but worry. He was afraid that Su Mo would take advantage of his strength and create opportunities to do some risky things.

However, he couldn't accompany Su Mo to the front lines to keep an eye on her, so he could only temporarily trust that she could control herself.

······

On the moon, at the foot of the Psionic Academy mountain.

Su Mo, who had finally returned to the academy after several months, stepped out of the teleportation array.

Su Mo concealed his aura, minimizing his presence.

The academy's array area is quite a distance from the commercial street, and there aren't many people coming and going in this area.

Without delay, Su Mo prepared to walk to the other side, to the academy's own internal teleportation array, and go directly up the mountain through the teleportation array.

She had only walked a short distance when Su Mo stopped and looked back at the long-distance teleportation array she had just come down from.

What she placed here is the main array plate of the long-distance teleportation array. Along with the main array plate, there are two sub-array plates. One of the sub-array plates was placed on Blue Star by Su Mo, but the other sub-array plate is still in the space and has nowhere to be placed yet.

Thinking of these three interconnected array plates, Su Mo narrowed his eyes slightly; they should have a greater purpose.

It only paused for a moment.

Su Mo turned around and stepped into the internal teleportation array.

She came back on her own this time and had no interest in climbing the mountain, so she went straight back to the dormitory area via the internal teleportation array.

No one else in the college knew that the principal had returned, but Su Mo still informed Zhou Wei and Xu Li of his whereabouts, though he didn't ask them to come over to meet him.

We'll talk about everything tomorrow.

But no matter how Su Mo tried to hide it, there was one person in the academy she couldn't conceal.

When Su Mo emerged from the long-distance teleportation array, Yuan Qi sensed her presence. For Yuan Qi, who was a whole realm higher than Su Mo, her methods of concealing herself were no match for her.

Therefore, Su Mo was not surprised at all when he saw the message from Yuan Qi.

Since Master is coming, let's wait.

Su Mo sat down directly in the pavilion in the courtyard of her dormitory.

In just a moment, a pale blue figure flew through the air from the teaching tower on the mountaintop square, drawing an arc in the air before landing in front of the courtyard gate.

Yuan Qi strode in, his hands behind his back.

"Master, what brings you here?" Su Mo stood up to greet him.

Yuan Qi glanced at her, then walked into the pavilion and sat down.

"I've had some free time these past few days, so I've taken the opportunity to mentor your hopeless students."

They didn't give Su Mo a chance to argue about whether the students were trying to live up to expectations.

He continued, "You've been busy for months, have you kept up with your cultivation?"

Su Mo swallowed back what he wanted to say and honestly replied, "Of course not, I cultivate regularly every day."

Forget it, there's no point in arguing about the students' situation. In Yuan Qi's eyes, none of them are good material, including Su Mo himself, who is one of those who are disliked.

Thinking it over, Su Mo took out the tea set and began to brew tea.

In this world, those who are capable often have to do more. Since her master looks down on everything, he can only work hard himself.

Anyway, being used as a tool for alchemy wouldn't be entirely without benefit to Yuan Qi, so he wouldn't suffer any loss. Su Mo's hands moved smoothly as he thought to himself.

Yuan Qi sighed softly.

“My disciple, although your hometown has some merit in terms of medicinal herbs, the overall environment is really not good.”

The psionic environment on Earth has indeed been improving, and the Awakened can all feel that the conditions for cultivation are getting better and better.

But for Yuan Qi, who was in the Nascent Soul stage, that was far too slow.
