Chapter 317: Someone is Following Me
"Okay!" Su Siyi had no objection. It was the same no matter where they stayed, living in a luxurious tent. Her eyes revealed a hint of laziness and comfort, as if she was already looking forward to a good rest in the tent.
"I'll get the tents," Nangong Jingming said, and he led the others to prepare a place to sleep for the night and to make dinner. His back as he turned and left was firm and reliable, like a towering mountain, holding up a safe sky for everyone.
"Master, there's someone following you not far away, but he means no harm!" System Ru said to Su Siyi. The system's voice suddenly rang in her mind, breaking her momentary tranquility.
"Oh, can you find out who it is?" Su Siyi asked doubtfully. Her eyes revealed a hint of vigilance and curiosity, and she was guessing the identity of the stalker.
"Master, it's the secret guard of the Ninth Prince Ren Lin." The system quickly gave an answer.
"Oh, it's normal that they're his people," Su Siyi thought. It would be unusual if she didn't have someone watching them. Her eyes revealed a hint of relief and understanding. In this interstellar world, it seemed normal for various forces to pay attention to and test each other.
"Siyi, the tent has been set up. Go and rest for a while. I'll call you when it's time for dinner." Nangong Jingming came over, took her by the hand, and walked her into the tent. His movements were gentle and considerate, and his eyes were full of concern and care.
"Brother Nangong, come in for a moment!" Su Siyi took Nangong Jingming's hand and walked into the tent together. Her eyes revealed a hint of shyness and anticipation, as if she had something important to share with Nangong Jingming.
"Brother, sister, why did you bring him into the tent? I'll go check it out." Su Wenxin saw this scene and said anxiously. His eyes revealed a hint of anxiety and worry, as if he was worried that his sister would be hurt.
"Well! Go ahead!" Su Wenying heard this, but since he had to do the work at hand, he let the boy do it. He shook his head helplessly, his eyes revealing a hint of indulgence and helplessness. He continued with the work at hand, but in his heart he was also silently paying attention to the situation in the tent.
Su Wenxin immediately dropped what he was doing, let his older brother continue, and then ran to his younger sister's tent. He moved quickly and anxiously, fearing that the boy would bully his sister. In fact, they were now boyfriend and girlfriend, so some intimacy was normal.
"Sister, what do you want to say?" Su Wenxin asked immediately when he saw Su Siyi. His breathing was a little rapid, and his eyes were fixed on Su Siyi, waiting for her answer.
"Second brother, why are you here!" Su Siyi was a little confused. Didn't her second brother have something to do just now? Why did he come here? There was a hint of confusion and helplessness in her eyes, and she frowned slightly.
Nangong Jingming's eyes darkened. This little brother-in-law, is he here to disturb their relationship? Alas, this brother-in-law is a bit difficult to deal with. He sighed in his heart, but his face remained calm, but a trace of imperceptible loss flashed in his eyes.
"Well, it seems like you guys have something important to say, so I came over to ask." Su Wenxin looked at her with an expression that said, "I want to know too." His expression was slightly embarrassed, but with a hint of stubbornness, he was unwilling to give up the opportunity to explore easily.
"I do have something important to say. Since you're here, please sit down and listen." Su Siyi smiled and invited them all to sit down. Her smile was still gentle, trying to ease the slightly tense atmosphere.
"Is there something going on?" Su Wenxin muttered softly. His voice was low, as if he was talking to himself, but loud enough for everyone present to hear. A hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.
"Siyi, did you find anything wrong?" Nangong Jingming asked with concern as he sat on her left. His eyes were full of concern, and his body leaned slightly towards Su Siyi, showing a protective attitude.
"Well, the system detected someone following us, but that person has no ill intentions," Su Siyi said. Her tone was calm and composed, and she didn't seem to be panicked by being followed.
"It should be Ren Lin's people." Nangong Jingming said with certainty. His eyes revealed a hint of certainty. He made this judgment based on his previous understanding and analysis of Ren Lin.
"Yes, yes, he is one of them." Su Siyi gave an affirmative answer. She nodded slightly, confirming Nangong Jingming's guess.
"Sister, is this Ren Lin trustworthy?" Su Wenxin asked worriedly. His brows were furrowed, his eyes filled with worry, and he was skeptical of this unfamiliar member of the interstellar royal family.
"I've researched the current interstellar royal family. The Ninth Prince is the Queen's second son. He doesn't have much power, but he's very close to the people." Nangong Jingming had naturally thoroughly researched the power structure here. His voice was steady and powerful as he explained his understanding in detail.
"Oh, you mean, he's worth getting to know?" Su Wenxin pondered the question thoughtfully. His eyes revealed a hint of thought as he began to re-evaluate his relationship with Ren Lin.
The royal family usually fights, and if they act like this, their enemies will think they are in the same group. Su Wenxin was secretly worried, knowing full well the complexity and cruelty of the royal family's struggles.
"Yes, and his eldest brother is the most powerful and strongest person in the universe, so we won't suffer any loss if we cooperate with them," Nangong Jingming said. His eyes gleamed with a shrewdness, and he understood the importance of cooperating with powerful forces in the universe.
Only those with strength can gain more and have a higher success rate in negotiations. Nangong Jingming has a clear strategic consideration in mind, hoping to use cooperation with the royal family to enhance his team's status and resource acquisition capabilities.
"That's good, as long as you're sure of that. But what are they trying to do by following us like this?" Su Wenxin asked. His eyes were still filled with confusion, puzzled by Ren Lin's purpose in sending people to follow him.
"If I'm not mistaken, there are two meanings!" Nangong Jingming said. He raised his head slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of insight.
"What is it?" The Su brothers and sisters looked at Nangong Jingming, hoping that he would continue. Their eyes were full of anticipation, waiting for Nangong Jingming's answer.
"First, they're curious about our abilities. Second, it also serves as a protection," Nangong Jingming said. His voice was clear and methodical, as he analyzed the possible reasons one by one.
"I feel like surveillance is possible," Su Wenxin said, his brow furrowed slightly as he expressed his doubts.
"If they were monitoring them, they wouldn't be that far away," Nangong Jingming said. His eyes revealed a hint of confidence, a complete faith in his own judgment. If someone wanted to monitor their movements, they wouldn't fail to notice. Unless they were very far away and had no ill intentions, they wouldn't be that sensitive.
"That makes sense, but what should we pay attention to next?" Su Wenxin asked. A hint of nervousness flashed in his eyes, hoping for some advice.
"No, just be normal. Act as if you don't know anything and do what needs to be done." Ever since he knew their mechas were no weaker than his, he wasn't too worried anymore. His expression relaxed a little, and his tone became more relaxed.
After all, as long as the force value is sufficient, what is there to be afraid of, not to mention they also have a great artifact. Nangong Jingming has a sense of reliance in his heart and has a certain confidence in the strength of the team.
"Okay!" Su Wenxin agreed. There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes. Although he still had doubts in his heart, he chose to trust Nangong Jingming's judgment.
"Brother, our strength shouldn't be much worse than theirs. As long as we train hard, we don't have to be afraid of others." Su Siyi listened to what they said and analyzed it. She smiled with some relief. Her smile was full of confidence, trying to soothe her brother's worries.
"Okay, I understand." Su Wenxin nodded, and the worries in his heart were relieved a little.
After that, the two men left her tent, leaving her to rest in. Their movements were gentle and quiet, for fear of disturbing Su Siyi's rest.
After they left, Su Siyi went straight into the jade pendant space. She closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and instantly disappeared from the tent, entering the mysterious jade pendant space.
Now, her space, this vast grassland, has been reclaimed, and a few robots are managing their land. Fruits and vegetables are also increasing, which is very pleasing to the eye. The space is sunny, the land is fertile, and various crops are thriving, exuding vitality.
She also opened up an area to grow some medicinal herbs, and now the herbs are growing well. In that medicinal herb field, all kinds of rare herbs are lush and green, like a green treasure.
"Siyi, come and see, this ginseng is a hundred years old!" Su Sheng and Ji Mei also entered the jade pendant from their tent. They had excited smiles on their faces, and their eyes revealed a hint of anticipation, as if they had discovered some rare treasure.
