Above the stars

"I won the first place in Bailu Academy's recruitment assessment. I'm not allowed to come over and say congratulations to you in person?

The old man looked at Tang Bandit with a smile and said loudly.

"Did you watch it too?" Tang Bandit asked.

"How can I not pay attention to such a big thing?" The old man raised the wine glass in his hand to Tang Bandit and said, "Come, let me toast you. Your performance is very good, and your cultivation level is much improved than before. .”

"Where did you get the wine?"

Tang Bandit stared at the wine bottle and glass in front of the old man. He looked familiar.

"Of course I found it in your storage room. How did such a good wine get thrown into a corner? It's a waste of money."

The old man defended these fine wines and said, "Didn't you buy this wine yourself? With your stingy temperament, you would like to break a penny in half and spend it as a gift from that girl in Phoenix?"

"There used to be a wine cellar in the basement with a batch of wine stored in it. I converted the wine cellar into a practice room. There was no place to put the wine, so I threw it into the storage room. Where should I put it if not in the storage room?"

"I went downstairs to take a look. The training room is nice. I can see that you have really worked hard." The old man looked at Tang Bandit and said with a pleased look on his face.

"Don't look at me with that look." Tang Bandit said angrily: "This image of a benevolent elder who I think highly of you and who must continue to work hard to achieve extraordinary results is not suitable for you."

When they were in the old land, the two of them bickered all day long.

Little Fatty is a doormat. He doesn't retaliate when he's scolded or hit, but he's just a bit more aggressive when he eats.

It can also be regarded as a means of revenge.

"Hehehe, let's give it a try. I also want to make some breakthroughs in my personal image."

"Also, don't wander around other people's houses. What if you discover any secrets? Besides, every room is locked. How did you get in?"

The old man looked arrogant and said: "To me, an anti-theft lock of this level is equivalent to having no lock and leaving the door open for me to come in."

"You make me feel very insecure." Tang Bandit said.

"Aren't you studying mechanical knowledge and technology in the Mechanical Department? Soon you will be like me. You can do what I can do."

"Really?" Tang Bandit's eyes sparkled and he asked excitedly.

"certainly."

"I like to make others feel insecure." Tang Bandi said.

"If you want to reach my level, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it for a while. However, as long as you can learn Lu Whisper's technique, more than 90% of the door locks in the world will be ineffective against you."

"Are you a senior mechanic?" Tang Bandit asked.

"No." The old man shook his head.

"You're not even a senior mechanic, so you can just open someone's lock and enter someone else's door. How good are those senior mechanics?"

"What kind of thing is a senior mechanic? They are not even worthy of carrying my shoes." The old man had black lines on his head. He was very angry at Tang Bandit's behavior of belittling him, and said: "If we compare it with the realm of martial arts, I am the mechanical world. The great master."

"Bragging!" Tang Bandit didn't believe it.

"You still don't believe it? Go out and inquire. Forget it, it's better not to inquire. I'm afraid they will arrest you."

"Look, if I can't even name the master of machinery, then I'm still the father of machinery."

"The father of machinery is the ancestor of my Lu family."

"."

Tang Bandit was speechless.

He knew that what the old man said was true. Luban was indeed the father of machinery and was defined as a truly great man who pioneered this discipline and carried it forward.

The closer we get to the era of smart technology, the more we can understand the power of Luban. Moreover, the Lu family has been quietly promoting the technological development of the world behind the scenes.

Before the Cataclysm, humans were able to migrate to new stars and had a close relationship with the Lu family.

The old man looked at Tang Bandit and said, "Being able to enter Bailu Academy is one step closer to our goal."

"our target is?"

"Shen Xinglan." The old man said coldly.

"You want me to kill him?" Tang Bandit asked.

He was weighing the possibility of this matter in his heart. Shen Xinglan's strength was unfathomable. If he were to fight alone, he would definitely not be his opponent.

Assassination? Poison?

How can I escape after killing him? Can you still leave Bailu Academy alive?

"If you can do it, that would be the best." The old man squinted his eyes and smiled, and said: "Shen Xinglan is the benchmark figure promoted by the Shen family and the core of their next generation. If you can give him Killing him would be an extremely heavy blow to the Shen family."

"Of course, this won't hurt the foundation of the Shen family. Because their fundamentals are too stable. The direct descendants of the Shen family are spread across all major ace armies, and Shen Wuxiang sits at the center and serves as the military prime minister."

"After the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, the royal family reformed the empire's military establishment. There was no longer a general who led the entire army. Instead, the military prime minister and several deputy prime ministers carried out decentralized management. Cooperating with each other, They also check and balance each other.”

"Are there any of our people in the military headquarters?" Tang Bandit asked.

"I will try to make contact." The old man said aloud: "The purge was too powerful back then. Your father's close relatives were the first to be purged, and then those who were related to your family or were promoted by your father After so many years, how much loyalty is left?"

"I understand." Bandit Tang nodded, looked at the old man and said, "Your identity is more sensitive, so you must be more cautious. If you are not sure enough, don't try it out."

This kind of temptation is like two sides of a silver coin, sometimes it is a flower, sometimes it is a word.

If it's not what you want, don't throw away the silver coins in your hand easily.

The consequences of that would be disastrous.

If anyone wants to take credit from the royal family, the old man is finished, and he and Xiaopang can't escape.

Don't test human nature easily.

Because human nature cannot stand the test.

"I understand." The old man nodded and said, "It's just the preparation stage now, the key still depends on your growth rate."

"."

Tang Bandi looked at the old man speechlessly. Now the pressure is on his side again?

"If Shen Xinglan can kill, he will kill. If he can't kill," the old man looked at Tang Bandit and said, "Then use the card of being the proud son of heaven to increase his reputation."

"Step on other people's shoulders to get to the top?"

"You have to give people hope." The old man said aloud: "Otherwise, who would be willing to do this beheading business with you?"

"Don't say it's them, I don't even want to do it myself." Tang Bandit said aloud.

"It's up to you." The old man shook his head lightly, and said, "How long do you think you can hide your identity? Three years? Five years? Or a lifetime? If you are not careful, you will be invincible."

"You really chose a dead end for me."

"If you don't try, how will you know that you can't fight for a chance to survive?"

"You asked me to give them hope, why don't you give me some hope?"

"As long as you live, there is hope."

"."

"I have dealt with Shen Xinglan, and he is not an easy guy to deal with." Tang Bandit said.

He is strong and cautious, and it is difficult for such a person to find flaws.

"If it's someone else, I don't have any hope at all. If it's you, I think I can give it a try." The old man said confidently. “You are always able to do things that are difficult for others to do.”

"I don't want such a compliment."

"This is life."

"This life is really hard enough."

"Okay, stop yelling. Is there anything urgently needed?" the old man asked.

"Lack of money." Bandit Tang said, "I want to install a gravity cabin at home, but I find that I don't have enough money. A gravity cabin needs tens of millions of stars."

The old man looked at Tang Bandit and said, "I have money, and I can support you in buying this gravity cabin. But how do you explain the source of the money?"

Tang Bandi thought for a moment and said, "Then I won't buy it for now."

The old man can't transfer money to him. No matter which account he uses to transfer money to himself, it will leave traces in the end, and it is unclear if he is tracked by someone who wants to.

The more complicated and concealed the money transfer method is, the easier it is to arouse others' suspicion.

He can also give himself gemstones or other antiques that can be exchanged for money, just like Shen Boyu gifted himself a luminous pearl, but where did those things come from? They had gone through the Stardish security check before coming here.

The best way is to transfer a large amount directly from your own account like Phoenix does

Simple, crude and clear at a glance.

When the members of the royal family found out, they could only look on with blank eyes.

"Well, a practice room is enough for the time being, and you will soon enter Bailu Academy, where there are much more high-tech equipment than outside." The old man said aloud.

"Then can you give me some of your Lu family's high-tech gadgets?" Bandit Tang asked, "Whether it's killing people or saving my life, I need them. If I find an opportunity, maybe I can use this to get rid of Shen Xinglan." Woolen cloth."

The old man shook his head and said, "I can't drag the Lu family into trouble for the time being, and I can't provide you with more advanced weapons and equipment. Because once there is something that is not on the market, the first thing they suspect is the Lu family."

"If you want something, just go to Lu Private and learn from her. She will definitely teach you carefully."

"How can I study with her if I enter Bailu Academy?"

"There's a thing called a video call, you know?"

"."

"There are many hidden piles near your house. You should have discovered them, right?"

"I have been a hunter for more than ten years, and I have no vigilance at all? How can any hunter be ambushed by his prey?"

"As long as you know, don't alert others for now. They are sent by the royal family, so they probably don't trust you enough."

"I understand." Tang Bandit nodded and said, "I still have some patience."

The old man drank the whiskey in the glass and said, "Okay, I have nothing to do, I'll go first. Remember what I told you, Shen Xinglan will kill if he can kill, and if he can't kill, he will be destroyed. He can't grow anymore It’s time.”

"I understand." Tang Bandi nodded and said.

"Well, as for the big tiger of the Shen family, Shen Boyu, Shen Wuxiang and the other two brothers, we can hardly shake their foundation."

"Just wait, we will pull out their teeth one by one, so that he can only scream angrily, but can't hurt anyone. At that time, it is the real time to uproot him."

"There will definitely be such a day." Tang Bandit said.

Seeing that the old man wanted to get up and leave, Bandit Tang said, "Aren't you going to see Xiaopang? He's been talking about you all the time."

The old man hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth and said: "It's better not to meet him for the time being. He doesn't know how to lie and can't pretend to have a clear stupidity on his face. I'm afraid he will be tricked..."
