Interstellar: The correct way to become cannon fodder in a book

After the auction, Ye Sheng lived in peace for a while.

The results of investigating those people were just as Ye Sheng had expected.

Those who were found out were just scapegoats. They all knew that the group of people must still be at large outside.

But they had no choice, because that group of people had already left Sunset Star. The Ye family was indeed a behemoth on Sunset Star.

But it was limited to Sunset Star. In other star systems, although the Ye family also had industries and power, that little power was not enough for them to follow the clues and find that group of people.

So the matter was forced to be put on hold.

Ye Sheng sat obediently on the sofa in the hall, his fingers constantly stroking the pendant on his neck.

She went back and made the black stone into a pendant and hung it on her chest.

Because of this pendant, Ye Sheng's supernatural powers are growing visibly.

There was another group of people where she was now.

"Hahaha! It's been a long time since we last met! Brother Ye."

An old man with a goatee laughed heartily at the head of the Ye family, hooked his hand on the head of the Ye family's shoulder, and looked very happy.

"Hahaha, yes, Brother Shi. It's been seven years since we last met! Now that I think about it, it seems like everything in the past was just yesterday. Now look at us, we have great-grandchildren. Time flies!"

The head of the Ye family had a stern face and it was rare for him to smile when he saw his friend of many years.

"Who said it wasn't? Now we even have great-grandchildren. Come, Ning'er and Luo'er, come and say hello to your Grandpa Ye."

Shi Hong was moved when he heard what the head of the Ye family said, and waved his other hand towards a pair of siblings who looked extremely similar on the opposite side.

"Hello, Grandpa Ye, I'm Shi Ning." A good-looking little boy greeted politely.

He held the mecha model in one hand, and after saying hello, he lowered his eyelids and studied the mecha model.

His chubby face was full of seriousness and solemnity as he looked at the mecha model.

A little girl behind him who had a similar face to him but was wearing a purple dress and had two ponytails also greeted him.

"Hello, Grandpa Ye, I am Shi Luo."

After Shi Luo greeted politely, his eyes quietly rested on Ye Sheng.

Ye Sheng smiled politely, stood up and greeted Shi Hong without being told by the head of the Ye family.

"Hello, Grandpa Shi, I'm Ye Sheng."

After saying this, Ye Sheng shifted his gaze back to the brother and sister and gave a warm smile.

The brother and sister were a little stunned by this smile. This smile... is really beautiful.

When Shi Ning saw Ye Sheng smiling at him, he also smiled as a polite response.

Shi Luo blushed a little at Ye Sheng's smile. She lowered her red face slightly and said shyly, "Hello...Hello."

The group of elders in the room were amused by Shi Luo's expression.

Mother Ye covered her mouth and chuckled. As a married woman, she would never understand the thoughts of a child. She said jokingly in the direction of Shi Hongye's family:

"I remember that my father, Uncle Shi, seemed to have arranged marriages for the children of this generation!"

After saying that, he glanced in Shi Luo's direction again with an expression that said, "I see everything but won't say it."

Shi Luo's face turned even redder when he was looked at. His originally fair and flawless face was now as red as an apple.

Mother Ye sighed slightly in her heart.

Oh, kids nowadays are so playful! Their faces turn red when you make a joke.

Ye Sheng and Shi Ning turned a deaf ear to him. One of them was playing with and studying his mecha model as if no one was around, while the other one sat down after saying hello, touching his pendant and staring blankly.

Shi Luo quietly sat down next to Ye Sheng, her soft voice mixed with curiosity and shyness.

"What are you thinking about?"

Ye Sheng came back to his senses from his thoughts, and his pair of golden eyes looked at the girl in front of him unnoticeably.

"I'm not thinking about anything."

"oh oh."

The two of them were silent for a while during the awkward conversation...

Um, so embarrassing...

Even though they were sitting very close to each other, an inexplicable atmosphere of awkwardness emanated from between them.

Seeing this, Ye's mother pursed her lips and smiled again. Due to years of being pampered and well-educated, Ye's mother exuded a gentle and noble temperament.

"Xiao Sheng, take them both to your room to play. Your great-grandfather has something to talk about."

After hearing what his mother said, Ye Sheng nodded and led the brother and sister to his room.

……

Lingta Star.

There was an atmosphere of sadness in the gorgeous room. On the bed made of purple wood and gold thread, a beautiful woman was silently shedding tears.

She curled up tightly, her red velvet dress wrinkled slightly due to the movement, and her silver-white hair hung messily on her shoulders.

Every bit of it showed the woman's embarrassment and grief at the moment.

There was a man sitting on the other side of the beautifully carved bed. He was very handsome, with a pair of sapphire eyes that were captivating.

There was suppressed pain in his eyes.

"Ma'am, my son will be found."

When the beautiful woman curled up tightly in bed heard this, her tears flowed even more violently.

"Found? There has been no information for several days! Not a single bit of information! My child, where is he?"

The woman's voice was sobbing. She tried her best to control her emotions and not let her voice contain a trace of anger.

But after so many days of finding nothing and the unknown whereabouts of her own flesh and blood, the mother was driving herself crazy.

In the gorgeous room, warm yellow light spread to every corner of the room. The little boy standing in front of the door lowered his eyelids and looked quietly at the couple opposite.

He fiddled with his fingers at a loss, wanting to speak but not knowing what to say.

After struggling, he still didn't say a word.

He watched the couple hugging, and the beautiful young woman whispering, "Where is his child?"

……

Ye Sheng led the two to his room and left the hall for the adults to discuss things.

There were five people in the hall.

The head of the Ye family, Shi Hong, Ye's father, Ye's mother, and Ye Qiuyun.

Ye Qiuqiu had returned from the auction and had taken what she had been longing for to repair her spiritual sea. Therefore, she was not among them.

After the children left, Shi Hong's originally calm demeanor immediately disappeared, replaced by exhaustion.

The head of the Ye family and everyone else also slowly frowned.

"Brother Shi, do you have to go this time?" Patriarch Ye looked at his best friend with worried eyes.

They knew each other when they were young and were close friends. Now, watching him jump into the fire pit, he couldn't bear it.

Shi Hong sighed.

"Alas, if I can shirk it, why should I do it myself?"

The Shi family is different from the Ye family. The Ye family is in business, while the Shi family is in the military.

The current Fourth Legion of the Yunhua Empire is taken over by the Shi family, and Shi Ning and Shi Luo’s father is the commander of the Fourth Legion.

The situation in the Yunhua Empire is very bad now.

The Luoxi Empire and the Caesar Empire put pressure on the Yunhua Empire respectively, and even directly fought with the nearby star regions bordering their countries.

This includes the star field guarded by the Fourth Legion.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that war between their country and the two countries is inevitable.

Veins bulged on Father Ye’s hands.

"The Caesar Empire and the Luoxi Empire are simply going too far!! Do they really think that our Yunhua Empire is afraid of them?"

Mother Ye patted the back of Father Ye's hand as if to comfort him, and her gaze shifted to Shi Hong.

"Luo'er and Ning'er's father just died in battle. If you also go to the battlefield, what will happen to the two children?"

When Shi Hong heard this, his eyes turned red. His only son and grandson had died in the battlefield not long ago, sacrificing their lives for their country.

Because the children were too young, he did not tell them about this.

The two children were pitiful. Their mother died of frailty shortly after giving birth to them, and their father died in the battlefield when they were five years old.
