Chapter 543 - 543 Letting Go

543 Letting Go

Meng Tian looked at the girl with a bright smile and found her smile the most beautiful thing in the world. It felt unreal.

“Senior Sister?” Meng Tian was a little hesitant.

“Director Yu, please give us a moment.” Xu Lixing glanced at Yu Li, who bowed slightly and left, leaving only Xu Lixing and Meng Tian alone in the office.

Xu Lixing then smiled and got up to walk to Meng Tian. “Why aren’t you thanking me?”

“Senior Sister, how did you find me?” Meng Tian looked at her.

“I asked you about your situation in reality, but you went offline for a few days and didn’t reply to my messages.” Xu Lixing curled her lips. “I thought you wanted to break up, but even so, you couldn’t have just disappeared. Therefore, I thought of investigating… Meng Tian Qingyuan, 35-year-old Lv. 7 cosmic lifeform. It wasn’t hard.”

Meng Tian stared at her, his eyes filled with grat.i.tude as he bowed respectfully.

“Cut that out,” she said immediately.

“Thank you, Senior Sister.” Meng Tian’s eyes turned red. “I once thought that I would never see hope for the rest of my life with me under that person’s control.”

“It would’ve been very difficult for you to resist him.” Xu Lixing sighed. “I relied on the corporation’s might and my dad’s might to make him hand you over obediently.”

“Your dad?” Meng Tian was a little puzzled.

“Let me introduce myself,” Xu Lixing said with a smile. “My name in reality is Xu Lixing, and I’m the Pearwood Group’s Second Executive Officer! The First Executive Officer is my mom. My dad is Xu Jingming, or Wu Ming.”

“Lord Wu Ming?” Of course, Meng Tian knew him.

An Executive Senator of the Oohook Star Alliance! An influential figure of the entire cosmic human race!

Senior Sister is actually Lord Wu Ming’s daughter?

“Oh right, in order to buy out your contract with your father, the corporation spent five billion cosmic dollars,” Xu Lixing said. “I’ll pay the corporation for that. As for your buyout contracts, they will be terminated. You will have absolute freedom from today onward! You won’t be bound by any contracts; you can do whatever you want.”

“Of course, you are now indebted.” Xu Lixing smiled and said, “You owe me five billion cosmic dollars. As for the interest, pay it as you see fit.”

Meng Tian was stunned and stood there in a daze.

“Freedom? I can do whatever I want?” Meng Tian murmured.

He had never felt this way since he was born. He had previously thought that he would go from being under Hai Yong’s control to being under the Pearwood Group’s control. Perhaps the treatment and environment would become much better, but he still had to submit to the Pearwood Group.

However, his senior sister terminated all the contracts.

“I’m free,” Meng Tian murmured. There were tears in his eyes, but they instantly disappeared.

He looked up at Xu Lixing and grinned with unprecedented joy. “Senior Sister, I owe you five billion! I’ll definitely pay you back, along with the interest. Thank you, Senior Sister!”

“What do you plan on doing in the future?” Xu Lixing asked with a smile.

“My first step is to leave the Qingyuan family.” Meng Tian didn’t hesitate. “Senior Sister, can I migrate to Earth?”

“Of course. Earth welcomes migration of outstanding talents. You became a Lv. 7 cosmic lifeform at the age of 30. With such talent… No civilization in the Hunter Cosmic Sector will reject you,” Xu Lixing replied with a smile.

“Then, I’ll migrate to Earth,” Meng Tian said. “I’ll work hard to pay off my only creditor.”

Xu Lixing smiled. “Then, are you willing to be my boyfriend in reality?”

“I can’t ask for more—as long as you don’t mind my lowly background.” Meng Tian gazed at his senior sister. “I’ll also work hard to become an Origin lifeform so as to be worthy of you.”

From this day onward, Meng Tian truly began to live for himself! He also wanted to be worthy of his senior sister!

“That’s what I like about you—your confidence.” Xu Lixing smiled and said, “However, let’s take it slow. You can’t judge a book by its cover. I have to observe you carefully.”

“Senior Sister, you’re welcome to observe all you want,” Meng Tian replied.

The current Meng Tian didn’t have that languid air as before; he had more drive.

“Alright then.” Xu Lixing was quite satisfied with Meng Tian’s reaction. “You’re free now. Do you want me to help you arrange some accommodation, or do you want to decide for yourself?”

“It’s very simple through the Internet,” Meng Tian said. “I’ll settle it myself quickly.”

“Hurry up; you haven’t been online for days. Master has asked me several times,” Xu Lixing urged. “Get your accommodation sorted out and come online as soon as possible.”

…

Meng Tian quickly left the Pearwood Group headquarters and stood in the square of the building. He looked up at the towering building with antic.i.p.ation in his eyes.

Today marks a brand new life, he thought to himself.

He knew very well how great the difference in status between him and his senior sister was. She was Wu Ming’s daughter! What about him? He was only one of the countless people nurtured by a biological womb. Even if his senior sister’s parents didn’t agree, Meng Tian could live with it.

Meng Tian felt that his senior sister had already given him a lot! She had given him freedom and a future—this far exceeded marriage!

Even if he couldn’t be with his senior sister in the future, he was very satisfied and grateful.

I should strive hard to become an Origin lifeform, Meng Tian thought to himself.

After Meng Tian regained his freedom, his motivation surged exponentially. He felt that with his senior sister’s ident.i.ty, he had to become an Origin lifeform… before he was confident in proposing.

Meng Tian tapped open a projection and quickly bought property and a virtual chamber through the Internet.

******

In the virtual world.

In Li Miaomiao’s personal s.p.a.ce, she was sitting on the beach and waiting when a figure suddenly descended beside her—it was Xu Jingming.

“Miaomiao, what’s the urgency?” Xu Jingming asked with a smile.

He was now digesting his gains from his first observation of the s.p.a.cetime Star Sand. It took him a long time to digest the knowledge gained, so it was very easy for him to split his mind and maintain one or two clones in the virtual world.

“I know everything about our daughter’s boyfriend in reality,” Li Miaomiao said anxiously.

“Oh? What’s the situation?” Xu Jingming asked with a smile.

“Take a look.” Li Miaomiao handed a dossier to him.

Meng Tian’s immigration application was approved in less than an hour, and he was now living on Earth. Li Miaomiao naturally contacted her husband after she quickly learned the details.

“He lived a hard life,” Xu Jingming commented as he read the dossier.

“There are more than a billion people on Iwaizumi now. Including the generations who have died, Hai Yong Qingyuan has billions of children. Meng Tian is only one of them,” Li Miaomiao said. “The compet.i.tion on Iwaizumi is very intense and cruel. He lived a life of compet.i.tion since he was born. I’m very worried that Meng Tian, who grew up in such a distorted compet.i.tive environment, will have a very twisted personality.”

Li Miaomiao glanced at her husband. “I don’t care how talented and capable the man is, but I hope that his character is normal and that our daughter will live a happy life in the future. However, this Meng Tian… is very likely mentally twisted.”

“Don’t worry.” Xu Jingming was calm as he smiled and said, “Our daughter spent ten years with him previously, and he’s on Earth now. In the future, everything will be under the Pearwood Group’s observation in reality. It’s very easy to evaluate his mental state with so many top cosmic talents in the Pearwood Group.”

“Appearances aren’t necessarily accurate when it comes to matters of the heart.” Li Miaomiao was worried.

“Our daughter is in charge of a large number of matters in the Pearwood Group, so she has the ability to read people,” Xu Jingming said. “You can also get some experts to help in the observation. I think that’s enough. It’s just a relations.h.i.+p; it’s nothing serious.”

Li Miaomiao nodded. “I was worrying too much.”

“A hero’s background doesn’t matter,” Xu Jingming said. “There are all kinds of them across the countless civilizations of the cosmic human race! Some are born uncivilized, and some are born as pirates. It’s impossible to determine one’s background. It’s very common to have a background that’s a thousand times darker than Meng Tian’s!”

Xu Jingming didn’t mind at all.

Over the years, he had seen too many habitable planets go extinct instantly.

Compared to this, his daughter’s relations.h.i.+p was trivial. So what if her relations.h.i.+p failed? It was nothing.

“Our daughter still has a long life. Let go and watch her grow.” Xu Jingming smiled. “Sometimes, setbacks help her grow.”

“Alright.” Li Miaomiao nodded. “Since you, the father, have spoken, I’ll listen to you.”

An habitable planet in the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector where Xu Jingming was temporarily living in seclusion.

In the study.

Xu Jingming sat in a chair and looked at the dense plethora of information on the projection, occasionally reaching out to write.

Watching the complete s.p.a.cetime collapse in the s.p.a.cetime Star Sand has helped me greatly. I’ve improved greatly in many branches of s.p.a.cetime. Xu Jingming sighed with emotion. Unfortunately, the s.p.a.cetime collapse scene is observed from a high-dimensional perspective… It can’t be replicated at all.

Moreover, the s.p.a.cetime collapse itself is caused by high-dimensional forces. The virtual world can’t reproduce it. Xu Jingming sighed with emotion.

The virtual world’s ‘virtualization’ had its limits. For example, the Primordial Star phenomenon was only a superficial phenomenon.

There were also some scientific experiments that could only reproduce completed experiments. Novel experiments or experiments that changed certain parameters… had to be attempted in reality.

Of the six Force structural models for Life Evolution, I’ve already grasped the fifth model, the auxiliary spatial model. Xu Jingming nodded. Now, there’s only the sixth model—the Möbius model.

Comprehending the Möbius model will result in me having adequate amounts of knowledge. My mental strength has long hit the mark, so I can try breaking through to Lv. 10, Xu Jingming thought to himself.

The Möbius model is the most difficult of the six models! I hope I can finish it in 100 years, Xu Jingming thought. After all, he took less than 100 years to grasp all of the first five Force models.

Xu Jingming continued studying the various branches of s.p.a.cetime, hoping to digest as much as he could from his observations.

Only by building up more s.p.a.cetime knowledge could one have a chance of achieving high-dimensional traveling. Xu Jingming really hoped that he could do this. After all, it was embarra.s.sing if he couldn’t use any high-dimensional means while in possession of a numbered Primordial Battle Armor.

Days pa.s.sed.

More than three months after observing the first s.p.a.cetime Star Sand grain, he finally started his second observation!
