The gathered sisters started discussing among themselves.

"Is he the newly promoted Lord Su Mo of the Royal Order of Twelve Knights? I thought so, no wonder he looked so familiar."

"I actually recognized him at first glance, but Lord Su Mo is in casual clothes today, so I wasn’t sure at the moment."

...

"Sorry! Lord Su Mo."

He Lian and Xiao Qiao quickly bowed and apologized to Su Mo, knowing that with his status and position, dealing with the two of them would be too easy.

"You’re apologizing to the wrong person; you didn’t break my stuff. And if you damage someone else’s belongings, naturally, you have to pay for it."

Su Mo said with a smile.

He Lian and Xiao Qiao bowed their heads and apologized to Luo Yue.

"Sorry, we accidentally bumped into you. We’ll compensate you for the damages."

"It’s okay, I have some blame too. I shouldn’t have stopped abruptly."

Luo Yue didn’t continue to make things difficult for the two of them.

Seeing that the commotion was about over, Su Mo smiled and said, "Let me just say one last thing, we’re all colleagues here, so I hope you all can get along well with Luo Yue in the future. Alright, if there’s nothing else, let’s disperse."

Hearing this from Su Mo, the crowd immediately looked at Luo Yue with different eyes.

This seemed like a normal statement, but it effectively conveyed that Su Mo was backing Luo Yue, signaling that they shouldn’t trouble her anymore.

"Alright, everyone disperse now."

Sister Ying shouted to everyone.

The onlooking sisters gradually dispersed, each returning to their own work.

Luo Yue quickly thanked Su Mo, saying, "Thank you, Lord Su Mo."

"It’s a small thing."

"By the way, Lord Su Mo, did you come to me for something important?"

"Yes, I want to engage in remote communication, so I thought to ask you about it."

Su Mo briefly explained the situation.

"The equipment you’re talking about is in our mission control room. It’s currently only for use by the mission control room and Lady Goli, but given your status, there should be no issue with you applying to use it."

Luo Yue immediately understood.

"How do I apply?"

Su Mo asked out of curiosity.

"It’s simple; you just apply on your bracelet. When the time comes, I’ll transfer your signal to that equipment, and you can conduct long-distance communication. But bear in mind, the communication time shouldn’t be too long."

Luo Yue roughly explained to Su Mo.

"That’s possible? Alright, I’ll head back for now and send the application later. Please assist me then."

Su Mo answered, satisfied.

"Okay, Lord Su Mo, take care."

Luo Yue saluted Su Mo and thanked him kindly.

Su Mo nodded slightly and turned to leave the control room.

Shortly after Su Mo left, the sisters around started to gather, and each enthusiastically engaged with Luo Yue.

"Luo Yue, do you have plans tonight? A few of us sisters are heading to a beauty salon, want to join?"

"Luo Yue, we know a newly opened advanced tea restaurant, want to come along?"

...

Luo Yue was dumbfounded by the sudden scene.

-------------------------------------------

Not long after, Su Mo returned to his home in Radiant City. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

He lay on the bed and raised his electronic bracelet to apply.

Quickly, a notification popped up.

"Respected Lord Su Mo, your remote communication request has been approved. Your signal has now temporarily been connected to a dedicated device. Please note your communication time is limited to one hour."

Seeing the signal connected, Su Mo tried sending a remote communication request to Qian Chengxue through the Star Illusion Forum.

Beep beep~

After about a minute, the communication connected.

"Su Mo?"

A rather surprised voice of Qian Chengxue sounded from the other end of the bracelet.

"Yes, it’s me. Where are you now?"

Su Mo asked with a grin.

"We’re on the Shadow. We’re en route to Radiant City, but...."

Qian Chengxue hesitated halfway through her sentence.

"But what?"

Su Mo immediately sensed something was off and quickly asked.

"It’s nothing major. We encountered an attack, and there’s a battle outside right now."

Qian Chengxue didn’t hide it from Su Mo, simply explaining the situation.

"Are you guys okay? Is it serious?"

Hearing the battle on Qian Chengxue’s side, Su Mo’s expression immediately tightened.

"We’re fine. I’m not participating in the fight right now. It’s Star Ring City’s troops and various national combat troops battling. Actually, encountering an attack is quite usual, but the troubling part is some Eternal Sleep Clan forces taking advantage of us running into a monster tide, launching a frenzied suicide attack to try and destroy our transportation ship."

Qian Chengxue gave Su Mo a rough briefing on the current situation.

Su Mo, after hearing it, breathed a sigh of relief.

"That’s good."

At this moment, Su Mo suddenly heard some familiar voices coming from his electronic bracelet.

He saw Zhou Qian excitedly shouting beside him, "Did you see that monster over there? It looks terrifying; its mouth can swallow a Level 3 transportation ship."

"Why look at the monster? Look over there, that mecha is so cool. Look at its battle stance."

Sun Li shouted excitedly.

"Sister Sun, look over there, that interstellar fighter is also pretty cool. It has already taken down three monsters."

....

The more Su Mo listened, the more perplexed his expression became. What were they talking about? He coughed slightly and said.

"Sounds lively over there."

"Yes, Sun Li and the others are at the observation deck watching the battle from afar. Su Mo, you don’t have to worry about me. I’ll be careful. If things go awry, I’ll retreat to the rear first. And after delivering the supplies, if feasible, I’ll head back to Star Ring City first thing."

"Alright, that’s good, then I won’t hold you any longer."

Su Mo, having confirmed Qian Chengxue’s safety, replied with a smile.

"Okay."

Qian Chengxue then hung up the communication.

At this moment, the creator·Swallower rare spoke, saying: "Interesting, you didn’t tell her that you’re right in Radiant City."

"What do you know? I can give her a surprise later."

Su Mo replied, in a rather good mood.

"Hmph."

The creator·Swallower replied dismissively.

"But that said, the Eternal Sleep Clan is quite audacious, repeatedly looking for trouble with Star Ring City. Failing in their actions in Radiant City, they went to harass the support troops. Aren’t these guys afraid of really provoking Lord Icaroya’s wrath, then they’ll have nowhere to cry?"

Su Mo remarked with some emotion.

"They have the capital to be so audacious. Do you really think they are mere lackeys?"

The creator·Swallower sneered.

Su Mo, hearing this, became even more intrigued, curiously asking.

"Just how powerful is the Eternal Sleep Clan? Why does it feel like their troops are endless, and how many Vice Clan Leaders do they have?"

"Stronger than you imagine. You better not ask, lest it scares you."

The creator·Swallower had no intention of telling Su Mo the reality to avoid unnecessary pressure.

Seeing Xiao Shi was reluctant to say more, Su Mo felt a bit unwilling and said: "Just give me a hint then. Is Star Ring City stronger or the Eternal Sleep Clan?"

The creator·Swallower remained silent for a long while before finally speaking.

"Star Ring City pales in comparison to the Eternal Sleep Clan; they are not even on the same scale. What the Eternal Sleep Clan truly fears is the power behind Star Ring City."

"Is that so? Then can you tell me about the forces behind Star Ring City?"

Su Mo’s eyes lit up with interest as he asked.

"Why are you asking so much?"

The creator·Swallower didn’t seem to want to bring up those matters.

"Ah~ It’s no fun."

Su Mo sighed helplessly.
