Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Interstellar Young Lady (Part 3)

The elevator stopped, and Li Shuning followed the two out of the elevator, discovering that outside were large expanses of glass, including overhead.

Looking out from the glass overhead, it was the sky. This was the top floor of the floating structure.

Yun Zimo and the elder walked away on their own, without paying any attention to Li Shuning.

Li Shuning wisely didn’t follow them and stood at the glass window, looking downwards.

Of course, Li Shuning’s vision wasn’t good enough to see the people below; it was several hundred meters from the ground. But she was a Spiritual Ability User. Through her spiritual power, she could still sense some things at the bottom.

Li Shuning frowned, puzzled at how these people dared to be so bold, directly attempting to assassinate her. Weren’t they afraid of being discovered by this body’s father?

Li Shuning thought for a moment and activated the Light Computer.

She tapped a few times on the Light Computer to contact her so-called father.

Unfortunately, even after a long time, she couldn’t get in touch with the other party.

Could this be what the other party relied on?

Li Shuning pondered and tried to contact the old housekeeper again.

However, this time she didn’t use the Light Computer; it didn’t get a response when she tried before.

She touched her neck and pulled out a necklace from under her collar, fiddling with it a bit until she heard a voice from the other end.

“Miss, are you alright?” Li Junming’s voice was filled with anxiety.

“Uncle Ming, what happened at home? There are a lot of guards chasing me.” Li Shuning referred to the old housekeeper this way in her memory.

“Miss, are you saying the family’s guards are pursuing you?”

“Yes, Uncle Ming.”

Li Junming was silent for a moment before saying, “I’m sorry to have scared you, Miss. Are you alright now? Please hold on for another half an hour. The family is under external invasion. The defense system activated automatically and has been locked down. We’re working on it.”

“I’m temporarily safe. Contact me after you’ve handled things on your end.”

Li Junming could be trusted, but today’s events were too coincidental. The mastermind behind this must not be simple. After all, the person who could mobilize the Li Family’s guard team wouldn’t be simple.

Li Junming was also very anxious, not to mention the inexplicable attack they had suffered while being trapped in the manor, and the young lady mysteriously disappeared.

Usually, he would make arrangements whenever the young lady went out, but this time he knew nothing about her departure. That’s why he asked if she was alright when she contacted him.

Put one situation after another, this incident was not so simple, and the Li Family’s guards chasing their own young lady was intriguing. Was someone manipulating things from the shadows while the Marshal wasn’t looking? Or did they think if things became a foregone conclusion, the Marshal would forgive them?

Fortunately, the young lady was unharmed; otherwise, how could he face the Marshal?

While waiting, Li Shuning began to seriously study her Spiritual Ability.

This body was once so weak, she knew from the previously received memories.

But after she arrived, she inexplicably knew how to use superpowers.

In her knowledge of Li Shuning’s life, she never had a bit of combat power.

It was her fiancé, who became her husband and, with her father’s help, rose quickly to become the next Marshal.

Li Shuning rubbed her forehead; her mind was cluttered with many things she couldn’t sort out.

She thought about it and sat in a corner, calming her mind to explore her abilities.

This world resembled the futuristic interstellar worlds in novels.

Humans had evolved over a long period, their abilities growing stronger, now divided into Spiritual Ability Users and Body Technique Ability Users.

But Spiritual Ability Users were rare and very precious, extremely protected.

Both Spiritual Ability and Body Technique Users were divided into ten ranks. Of course, there were also Super Rank experts, but in the entire world, such experts could be counted on one’s fingers.

However, Spiritual Ability Users were a special case. A Third Rank Spiritual Ability User could earn the loyalty of a Fifth Rank Body Technique Ability User. A Fifth Rank Spiritual Ability User could earn the loyalty of an Eighth Rank Body Technique Ability User.

It’s said a Tenth Rank Spiritual Ability User could instantly kill a Tenth Rank Body Technique User, but so far, there wasn’t a Tenth Rank Spiritual Ability User in the entire interstellar system.

The only Spiritual Ability User on Nadis Planet was the planet’s highest administrative official, who was only a Fourth Rank Spiritual Ability User.

As for Li Shuning’s father, Marshal Li, he was a Tenth Rank Body Technique Ability User.

Spiritual Ability Users had their unique cultivation methods.

Li Shuning’s spiritual power was vast. Previously, her remote hitting and grabbing were merely the most basic tangible uses of spiritual power.

Only by becoming powerful herself could she survive. In that case, if she safely returned home, her primary task would be to enhance her strength.

In this unfamiliar place, those two hadn’t returned. Li Shuning wasn’t worried.

Since they didn’t throw her out before, they probably wouldn’t harm her now.

Besides, given her situation, worrying wouldn’t help.

She could read people, and those two weren’t ordinary based on their demeanor.

If she could live well, one day she would repay them to thank them for saving her. Perhaps they didn’t care, but Li Shuning had her principles.

“Young master, is it alright to just leave that young lady there?”

“It’s okay. Our business is more important. Are you sure it’s on this planet, as I asked you to verify before?”

“Yes, young master.”

“Keep collecting information. Don’t use that elevator anymore.”

“Yes, young master.”

After the elder left, Yun Zimo sat on the sofa. After tapping something, the entire glass wall displayed a live feed of Li Shuning.

Seeing Li Shuning’s posture, Yun Zimo paused and then inexplicably smiled, “Turns out she’s a Spiritual Ability User, too. It was worth saving you, after all. I just wonder, are you what I think you might be?”

The latter half of the sentence was whispered so softly that even if someone heard it, they likely wouldn’t understand its meaning.

Half an hour later, Li Shuning suddenly stood up, her necklace glowing.

Though Yun Zimo was busy with his matters, he kept an eye on Li Shuning out of the corner of his eye. Seeing her speak somewhat excitedly, then anxiously pacing and glancing towards where he and Yun Yi had gone, he seemed to grasp something.

After pondering, Yun Zimo walked out.

Seeing Yun Zimo, Li Shuning immediately broke into a wide smile and quickly said, “Sir, could you help me get down again?”

Yun Zimo said nothing and simply opened the elevator.

Li Shuning sincerely bowed again to express her gratitude, while Yun Zimo stood outside and didn’t enter the elevator.

Just before the elevator doors closed, Li Shuning said, “Thank you, I am Li Shuning. I am very grateful for your help. If you ever need something from me, you can find me at the Li Family Manor.”

Yun Zimo’s mouth curled into a smile. At that moment, he shone like the sun, dazzling Li Shuning: “Yun Zimo.”

As the elevator doors closed, it was a long time before Li Shuning, cupping her face in her hands, murmured to herself, “So embarrassing, it’s not like I’ve never seen a handsome guy before. How did that smile captivate me?”

When Li Shuning reached the first floor, it was still empty. After stepping outside, she discovered Li Junming with numerous Li Family guards waiting in front of the floating structure.

As for those who had targeted her earlier, none were in sight.
