Since the three countries guarded against each other, Aoqi became the only place where trading between the three countries occured. This made Aoqi a shopping heaven. Merchants from all over the galaxy came to Aoqi to do business.

From afar, Aoqi looked like a yellow ball. The planet was surrounded by vibrant colored plants so it seemed extra striking. People wanted to visit the planet because of its vibrant colors. This might be part of the reason why it was so prosperous.

The Feiyang s.h.i.+p landed on the s.p.a.ceport of Aoqi slowly. Since many merchant s.h.i.+ps came to Aoqi, Aoqi's s.p.a.ceport was extremely huge. When the Feiyang s.h.i.+p s.h.i.+p was landing, many merchant s.h.i.+ps came and went.

“This is a huge s.p.a.ceport. The facilities here could be compared with our first-string military s.p.a.ceport.” Zhao Jun went for many missions before so he could compare this s.p.a.ceport with the other ones.

“That is how wealthy this planet is. It has no military power so it definitely has some strong countries backing it up. If not, it will not be able to build such a huge s.p.a.ceport,” Qi Long pouted as he said that. Anyone who was not stupid would be able to see this.

“Of course. Everyone knew it but no one exposed them. Aoqi belongs to Caesar. The leaders of other countries knew this. However, since Aoqi didn't announce that they were on Caesar's side, they can only pretend to not know about it,” Ling Lan said calmly.

“We have reached planet Aoqi. The Feiyang s.h.i.+p will stop for three days here. We will leave planet Aoqi at 7 pm on the 19th. All pa.s.sengers please take note. Please return on time.” The gentle and sweet voice of JMC rang throughout the entire s.h.i.+p. Everyone heard this announcement.

Everyone started packing up. Most of them travelled light. Only those who wanted to do business in Aoqi carried many things with them.

Ling Lan and her friends left most of their luggage on the Feiyang s.h.i.+p. They didn't have much to begin with. They got off the s.h.i.+p with a backpack each.

As they walked through the atrium, the aunties from the Shun Feng Tour Group waved at them enthusiastically. The six of them smiled and walked over.

Lu Chaoying treated Li Yingjie like her family. She grabbed Li Yingjie's hand and asked him with concern, “Ma Rao, where are you planning to go?”

Li Yingjie resisted the urge to roll his eyes. He replied patiently, “We are just going to look around. If we see anything interesting, we will buy them as souvenirs for our families.”

Lu Chaoying nodded. “You are a filial child. You even thought about getting souvenirs for your family.” She looked proud as if Li Yingjie was her child.

Many aunties agreed with what Lu Chaoying said. They started complaining about how unfilial their own children were, further proving that the statement 'other people's children were the best' was correct.

Because of the age difference, Li Yingjie and his friends went to the modern technology market while Lu Chaoying and the aunties went to the antique market.

Aoqi was where collectors came to look for antiques. Because of this, Aoqi had a major antique auction every month. It attracted many elite families, rich corporations, and formidable warriors.

Ling Lan arrived at a bad time. The antique auction for this month ended just a few days ago. If they wanted to take a look at the auction, they would have to wait for one more month. However, this had nothing to with with Ling Lan and her friends. They were commoners. Even if they arrived when the auction was happening, they would be barred from the venue.

Everyone's motive was different so Ling Lan and her friends waved goodbye to their tour group members and planned their own schedules. Tour Guide Zhou was worried about them. He reminded them to contact him if they needed anything and repeated the boarding time for the s.h.i.+p.

The aunties were unwilling to part with them but they knew that young people had their own plans. Hence, they didn't force them to stay. At that moment, another bunch of people appeared in the atrium.

“Princess Gulibaduo, what a coincidence. We meet again.” Yun Feiyang smiled at the princess while looking at her intently. He was clearly expressing his love for her.

“To get off the s.h.i.+p, everyone needs to walk through this atrium. If this is a coincidence, it is a coincidence for everyone on the s.h.i.+p.” A clear voice replied Yun Feiyang. The direct reply caught Ling Lan and her friends' attention.

Ling Lan and her friends didn't look over. They just continued eavesdropping on the conversation. Based on their fake abilities, they were unable to hear the conversation between Yun Feiyang and the princess.

Only Ling Lan was able to see what was happening with the help of Little Four. This was the first time Ling Lan and her friends saw the princess clearly. Although they saw the princess in the atrium when they were being captured, there was a huge distance between them so they couldn't see the princess properly.

After that, Ling Lan tried her best to not appear in front of the princess. That way, the factions that were observing the princess would not notice them. Also, based on their current status, it was almost impossible for them to meet the princess.

Princess Gulibaduo was not the typical long-hair, elegant, and beautiful princess. She had her hair cut till her ears and looked handsome and clean. She was in her casual clothes.

However, it was hard to mistake her for a man. The female presence that she exuded was obvious.

Princess Gulibaduo was a straightforward person. That was why she was able to say such things to Yun Feiyang.

Yun Feiyang was nurtured by the Yun family so he didn't get angry when met with such cold reactions. He smiled and replied, “You are right. However, we arrived in this atrium at around the same time. This means that we are more fated as compared to the other people on the s.h.i.+p.”

That is so… shameless! Ling Lan was amazed. How can he say such things with a straight face? Ling Lan wondered if her father said such cringy things to her mother when he chased her in the past.

Thinking about how unscrupulous her father could get, Ling Lan felt that it was highly possible. She then looked at Li Lanfeng. She remembered that Li Lanfeng was a teenager who had reached the age of being interested in women…

Li Lanfeng had a calm expression on his face. When he saw Ling Lan looking at him, he immediately looked back. He wondered what orders his boss had for him.

Ling Lan realized that her friends were not surprised by what Yun Feiyang said. She was stunned. Maybe it was because she was a female so she couldn't understand what the men of this era were thinking. She kept her questions to herself and decided to ask when there was a chance.

Princess Gulibaduo sneered. She didn't reply Yun Feiyang. Ling Lan could clearly see the unhappiness on her face. However, the princess didn't seem good at talking. Yun Feiyang kept pestering her but all she could do was to ignore him.

It was because Yun Feiyang was Princess Gulibaduo's life savior. She couldn't treat him too coldly. If not, people would think that she was a heartless and ungrateful person.

The fight for the throne in the Balaya Kingdom was intense. Any small actions could cause her to lose her right to the throne. This was another reason why Princess Gulibaduo couldn't do anything to Yun Feiyang.

The princess had to maintain her dignity. The people from the Whirlwind Battle Team and the Brave Warriors Battle Team would not speak up for her. Her real butler and servants didn't dare to go against Yun Feiyang due to his ident.i.ty. Thus, Yun Feiyang was able to pester the princess repet.i.tively and make her irritated.

The princess scanned her surroundings. There were many people in the atrium. The princess saw Ling Lan and her friends. She was stunned for a moment. Then, she smiled and walked towards them.

Ling Lan's heart dropped. The smile on her face just now told her that something bad was about to happen.

Before the princess could walk near them, Ling Lan turned her head nonchalantly and looked at the princess. She took the chance to knock into Li Lanfeng's shoulder. “Do you think that she is here to look for Young Master Ma Rao?”

Li Lanfeng turned his head too. He saw the princess and shouted at Li Yingjie, “Ma Rao, a pretty lady is looking for you.”

Li Yingjie pointed at himself with a surprised look. “Looking for me? Really? Are you lying to me?” He sized up the princess as if he was deciding if the princess had the right to come near him…

Qi Long rolled his eyes when he saw this. He seemed unconvinced. “Why don't women look for me? Why do they all like Ma Rao?”

The princess heard what they said and stopped in her tracks. She blinked for a moment. After that, she continued walking towards Ling Lan and her friends. She said politely, “h.e.l.lo, I am Gulibaduo. Can I ask for your help?”

“Ah, so you are not looking for me?” Li Yingjie said with a disappointed face.

Qi Long was feeling schadenfreude. He laughed and said, “Ma Rao, not every woman likes you.”

Li Yingjie snorted. He decided to ignore the irritating Qi Long and went to talk to Lin Zhong-qing. He ignored Gulibaduo too.

Gulibaduo was not angry. Instead, she smiled embarra.s.singly and pointed behind her. She whispered, “This person keeps pestering me. I can't chase him away so I would like to ask for your help.”

“How can we help you?” Zhao Jun looked at the direction she pointed at and saw Yun Feiyang. He nodded. “I know him. I met him outside room 308 quite a few times.”

Gulibaduo looked helpless. “I live in room 308.”

“Wow, is he chasing you?” Zhao Jun looked at Yun Feiyang again. “He is quite handsome. Why don't you like him?”

Gulibaduo gave a look of disdain. “He is so weak. He can't even win against me. What is so good about him?”

Zhao Jun glanced at Gulibaduo. He muttered to himself. “Even a lady reached the peak of refinement. Sigh, what am I supposed to do?”

Gulibaduo glared at him angrily when she heard what he said. “Are you all males? Why are you all so indecisive? Are you going to help me or not?”

Everyone looked at Li Yingjie. Li Yingjie was supposed to be the strongest and wealthiest among them. He was their leader.

Li Yingjie had been a leader for many years but he never thought that he would be able to lead the five people that were around him now.

Besides feeling excited, Li Yingjie was frightened. Sob, if he made the wrong decision, would he get hit by his boss?

Li Yingjie took a deep breath. He pretended to be impatient and asked, “How do you want us to help?” Is this the right thing to say? Li Yingjie looked at Ling Lan carefully. His expression was arrogant and made people want to hit him.

Gulibaduo was angered by his att.i.tude. She breathed a few times to calm down and replied, “I just want to walk around with you all.”

“No!”

Ling Lan and her friends as well as the people who came with Princess Gulibaduo shouted at the same time.

Gulibaduo looked at her fake butler who was actually the captain of the Brave Warriors Battle Team, Lieutenant Colonel Qian Jialin. She didn't know why he stopped her. These six people seemed harmless.

Qian Jialin said seriously, “Princess, please do not interact with outsiders.”

Li Yingjie sneered. “Yes, we are outsiders. Please stay further away from us.”

Qian Jialin felt awkward. Yun Feiyang heard what Li Yingjie said and replied in a cold voice, “Since you all know that you are outsiders, why don't you all move away from the princess?”

Li Yingjie was furious. He wanted to refute him but Lin Zhong-qing grabbed his sleeve hurriedly and shook his head. Li Yingjie swallowed his anger. He glared at Yun Feiyang and then said to the rest of the team, “Let's go!”
