Thank you to “Wen Haha” student for the reward, mwah!

*******************

After the punishment from the Alliance was announced, when people on the Star Net were talking about it, Li Shuning suddenly made a high-profile exit from seclusion and declared to the outside world that she had become an extreme power.

An extreme power user in her early twenties, and a Spiritual Ability User at that, her capabilities are not something that someone like Luo Xiao can compare to.

Moreover, Li Shuning directly expressed on the Star Net her dissatisfaction with such a punishment.

If Luo Xiao’s repeated harmful actions, especially targeting the Li Family multiple times, only resulted in such a punishment, then it would be disheartening for the Li Family.

The contributions of the Li Family to humanity are plainly seen by everyone.

Li Xing just killed the Insect Mother, which is an enormous achievement.

If they do not give the Li Family a justified explanation, Li Shuning said she would feel that everything she has done for the Alliance was meaningless, and she would reconsider the path forward.

Some people within the Alliance were furious, thinking Li Shuning was threatening the Alliance.

Everything the Alliance does is for humanity, and Li Shuning’s current actions were clearly disruptive to the Alliance’s unity and stability.

Some even directly stated that Li Shuning should be punished.

At this point, the people who got the news went wild on the Star Net.

Not cherishing an extreme power user among humans is one thing, but she did nothing wrong, only expressed dissatisfaction with the handling of Luo Xiao’s punishment, so why should she be punished when the one who did wrong walks free? What’s the logic here?

Is this how the Alliance treats human heroes? Is the Alliance today really the same Alliance that was originally founded?

What are the principles of the Alliance? Have those in high positions already become corrupted by their posts and forgotten their original intentions?

Many people spontaneously started opposing the Alliance’s decision, even demanding punishment for the person who made reckless statements about punishing Li Shuning.

Who gave you the authority to become the leaders of the Alliance?

What are your duties?

Have you all forgotten?

No matter how many factions there are within the Alliance, they were all unsettled by this.

Of course, many people were clear-headed, and soon the Alliance dismissed the person who spoke recklessly that day from their position.

Afterwards, the Alliance also made a promise to reconsider the punishment for Luo Xiao.

Only then did the Star Net become slightly quieter.

Meanwhile, the Shen Family was also in a bit of a downturn.

Shen Kezhong had never expected that Li Shuning would become an extreme power user in such a short period of time.

This kind of thing can’t be faked.

Since the Alliance made concessions, even removing a high-level official from their post, it was obviously in recognition of Li Shuning’s strength that they did so.

Otherwise, who would pay attention to her?

It’s important to note that the Alliance had already issued an external announcement and had finalized the punishment for Luo Xiao.

Now they say they’re going to reconsider, which shows how influential Li Shuning is.

It’s undeniable, the Li Family is going to rise.

With Li Shuning’s strength, as long as she lives, the Li Family will not fall.

And Li Shuning is so young, the Li Family’s glory is yet to come.

If only Shen Jian had married Li Shuning earlier, then all that glory would belong to the Shen Family, since once married, Li Shuning would be part of the Shen Family. But as it is now, the Shen Family, due to Shen Jian, is estranged from the Li Family, and because of Shen Jian and Luo Xiao’s affairs, it’s likely that the Shen Family will become implicated in the future.

It’s all Luo Xiao’s fault for misguiding people; if not for Luo Xiao, none of this would have happened.

Shen Jian is detained, but he knows what’s going on outside because his mental computer wasn’t taken away, and he also knows that Li Shuning became an extreme power user.

However, Shen Jian never imagined that Li Shuning would be so powerful.

Shen Jian felt stunned, even wondering if he was dreaming.

He felt that things shouldn’t have turned out this way.

Previously, when the Star Net exposed the incident of Luo Xiao deliberately leaking whereabouts, leading to countless deaths on a starship, Shen Jian saw it too.

At that time, he was unwilling to believe it.

But now, shocked by the news of Li Shuning becoming an extreme power user, after being dispirited for a few days, he calmed down.

He began to think carefully about everything that happened to him.

Originally, he did admire Li Shuning; so when did things begin to change?

Wasn’t it when Luo Xiao got injured for him?

But now reflecting on it, many things were indeed suspicious. With Luo Xiao’s strength, he could have easily dealt with those surrounding him back then, so why was it necessary for him to get so seriously injured?

Those surrounding Shen Jian were only Fifth Rank and Sixth Rank in strength.

Back then, moved by emotion without thinking carefully, in hindsight, it’s somewhat ironic.

Shen Jian realized that Luo Xiao did love him genuinely and that Luo Xiao had gone to great lengths, deploying many methods to make him give up on Li Shuning.

So that drunken night when he slept with Luo Xiao, was he really drunk, or was it intentional by Luo Xiao?

Shen Jian felt bitter.

Thinking back now, maybe from the beginning, when Luo Xiao approached him, he was already full of lies.

Injuries, the damaged starship, maybe it was all fake.

Only he stupidly believed it all.

He even acted like a fool, speaking harshly to Li Shuning.

Recalling when he went to Li Shuning for Luo Xiao’s sake, saying Uncle Li wronged Luo Xiao, he felt somewhat ashamed.

After another seven days, the Alliance finally made a decision: Luo Xiao would have his powers sealed and be banished to the Star Prison.

Once in the Star Prison, getting out is almost impossible.

After receiving the news, Shen Jian felt very upset and drank a lot.

As for Luo Xiao, upon hearing the news, he was also dumbfounded.

Previously, he was held in isolation due to his powerful abilities, so he was in a separate confinement room, even wearing handcuffs that inhibited power. Nobody spoke to him; even meals were provided through special equipment in the room. He couldn’t get news from the outside world. He understood some things very clearly, thinking that even if he was caught this time, there might still be a chance later. But now the punishment’s outcome was very clear, there’s no chance at all. What happened?

Luo Xiao thought it over and decided to ask the person who delivered the notice.

That person looked at him with a bit of pity.

“Luo Xiao, Li Shuning has become an extreme power user. What you did was originally wrong, and with the Li Family now putting pressure, heh heh.”

Evidently, the person informing Luo Xiao did not know what they were thinking, but their words had a deep implication.

Luo Xiao would be escorted away the next day, and the escort would be live-streamed on the Star Net.

After delivering the message, the person left.

As they left, Luo Xiao’s hand rested on the small window in the door of his cell. It was through this small window that the person spoke to Luo Xiao.
