Star Wars: The Silver Pledge

Outside the door, Nan Yujin seemed to sense Nan Wuyou's worries, and instead of knocking on the door for the third time, she asked eagerly, "I heard that you encountered danger on the way, is there anything wrong?"

Nan Wuyou couldn't help but move slightly.

After arriving in Xiajing, this was the first time someone asked her about the asteroid belt. Greetings that should have been taken for granted now felt precious.

But she didn't want to answer the topic at this time.

During this journey, there are too many secrets that are inconvenient to tell, such as her connection with the Silver Knights, such as Nan Zaizhou's death.

So Nan Wuyou chose to remain silent.

Outside the door, Nan Yujin didn't bother with this topic anymore. After sighing, Wen Yan explained: "I just returned to my hometown from Munilinster. I feel very sorry about the elder brother."

Nan Wuyou couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, and asked with a sarcastic smile: "Is the information so closed in the Muun people's territory?"

"In fact, before I arrived in Munilinster, the spaceship had an unfortunate malfunction and forced to land on a deserted planet. I didn't return to the original route until the repairs were completed. So it was a long time after I learned about the things here. gone."

Nan Wuyou remained silent. The second uncle's explanation was impeccable. In fact, it seemed to be the most reasonable explanation—after Nan Heli passed away unexpectedly, no matter what the relationship between Nan Yujin and him was, he should stand up in time . Losing contact is really the worst choice, which greatly affects his support rate within the family.

Therefore, rationally speaking, the second uncle's explanation is convincing. Only when there is an accident will you lose contact when it should appear most.

Outside the door, Nan Yujin said again: "During this time, Wuyou, you have really worked hard. It seems that the people in the group didn't give you the respect you deserve."

Nan Wuyou said sarcastically: "Arranging me to stay in the most luxurious [Luodu Hotel] in Xiajing City, isn't that enough respect?"

Nan Yujin sighed, "When will the heirs of the four major families be reduced to live on the ground? On the top of the sky, your father's room is still empty."

Hearing this, Nan Wuyou was in a state of confusion.

Father's room... When she was very young, Nan Heli once took her to the top of the sky, and took a short vacation in that hut surrounded by green trees. Those good times will always remain in her memory.

However, at this moment, awakening that memory is only depressing. The serious but tender father is dead, and even his legacy is out of reach.

Nan Wuyou let out a sigh of relief, quietly put away the blaster, forced himself to sort out his emotions, and walked to the door.

Of course she didn't trust Nan Yujin, but at this moment, Nan Yujin's support was absolutely necessary if she wanted to regain her father's inheritance and the hut that carried her beautiful memories.

No matter whether this second uncle really wanted to help her, or he had other schemes.

Even if you pretend to be a snake, you have to face what you have to face.

The woman opened the door and bowed to the middle-aged man in front of him who was slightly fat but still elegant.

"I'm sorry to keep the second uncle waiting for a long time. I was changing clothes just now."

"I should say sorry, and take the liberty to disturb me at this time."

"Please come in, Second Uncle."

Then, Nan Wuyou invited him into the room and sat down in the living room.

"Sorry, Second Uncle, the conditions are poor."

Nan Yujin shook her head and said, "Why should my family care about this? If I really want to apologize, it should be my incompetent second uncle who failed to play any role at the critical moment to apologize to you. I was not by your side when you were most difficult Beside, I'm really ashamed."

Nan Wuyou said: "It's okay, Second Uncle, you have nothing to do..."

"Now that I'm back, leave everything to me. I've already said hello to the group. Let's go back to Sky Dome right away. There's no need to live here."

Nan Wuyou was startled when she heard the words, and then carefully examined Nan Heli. From the other's words and deeds, and even the changes in his micro expressions, she could only see sincerity.

For a moment, Nan Wuyou really wanted to let go of her guard and really hand over everything to this close relative who once took care of her. But almost at the same time, her father's cold body flashed into her mind, forcing her to cheer up again.

Nan Wuyou said softly: "Thanks to Second Uncle for his kindness, but actually living here is not bad, Sky... I'm not at ease."

Nan Yujin was surprised and said, "Don't worry? Where did you start?"

Nan Wuyou looked directly into Nan Yujin's eyes and asked, "Second Uncle, do you think your father's death was an accident?"

Nan Yujin immediately restrained her expression, and looked directly at Nan Wuyou seriously.

"Of course it can't be an accident. There are indeed precedents for the heads of the four major families who died in accidents, but with the style of the eldest brother, the word accident is almost insulated from him."

Nan Wuyou immediately asked: "So second uncle, you also suspect that Qiankun Group did it?"

"There is no need to doubt that the only one who has the ability to put a family head to death is the Qiankun Group."

Nan Wuyou then asked with a sarcasm: "Then if I live in the sky dome now, is it considered a self-inflicted trap?"

Nan Yujin couldn't laugh, and he responded seriously: "You should be very clear that the Qiankun Group is a big concept, and the Nan family itself is also a part of the Qiankun Group. It may be the Qiankun Group that killed Big Brother, but it must not be the whole Qiankun Group!"

Nan Wuyou remained silent.

Nan Yujin leaned forward slightly, and said earnestly: "Wuyou, you must not miss this point. If you regard the entire Qiankun Group as an enemy, then every corner of the Qiankun galaxy is important to you." It's a 'net'! Comparatively speaking, after all, the Vault of Heaven is jointly managed by the elder councils of the four major families, so it is safer than the ground."

Nan Wuyou asked: "Didn't the father's death not be ordered by the council of elders?"

Nan Yujin said: "Then you and I can live up to now, and it is also the instruction of the council of elders. Worry-free, I know what you want to express, but it is not wise to quarrel with the council of elders at this time. After the death of elder brother, you You are the helm of this family, and you should know the weight of it better than anyone else."

Of course, Nan Wuyou knew the weight of this - it could be said to be extremely important.

The so-called being at the helm does not mean that you can do what you want and call the wind and rain. In many cases, being at the helm means helplessness and compromise.

Even though Nan Wuyou knew that the person who killed her father was within the Qiankun Group, she still could not be an enemy of Qiankun. Even in order to successfully inherit the family property, she has to rely more on the group, showing a submissive attitude in the eyes of those elders.

In fact, she came to Xia Jing on this trip just to show her obedience as a junior. It's just that she didn't expect that Xia Jing's reaction to her was more indifferent than expected.

The only thing she can rely on now is the second uncle in front of her who she hasn't seen for many years.

Nan Wuyou thought for a while, and tentatively said: "Second uncle, do you really think that I can take on the important task of family leader?"

Nan Yujin said: "You must be able to, and you must be able to. My eldest brother only has a daughter like you, and this is your duty-bound mission. And you have always worked hard for this goal since you were young. I believe you just It will take a little getting used to. In the meantime, I will do everything I can to help you."

Nan Wu worriedly said: It is simply the perfect answer.

From the second uncle's words, Nan Wuyou couldn't hear the slightest bit of greed, and the other party seemed to never think that at this moment, if Nan Wuyou also died unexpectedly, then he might be the only legal heir of the Nan family.

It seems that he just wants to help Nan Wuyou inherit the family business wholeheartedly.

Having such a caring second uncle is of course what Nan Wuyou wished for, but is there such a good thing in the world?

Even Nan Zaizhou, her most trusted confidant, can betray her, so why should she believe in Nan Yujin who is only sincere and selfless on the surface?

Thinking of this, Nan Wuyou couldn't help laughing at himself secretly: Am I being too suspicious? If no one believed it, could it be possible that she would be able to get out of the predicament by being alone?

So what if she doesn't trust her? Does she have a choice?

So, after pondering for a while, Nan Wuyou tentatively said: "I remember that Second Uncle doesn't like family affairs very much."

Nan Yujin said, "So you think so? In fact, I just don't like working with big brother."
