Chapter 1041 Search!
"How about this? I don't want to make things difficult for you but you must take our feelings into consideration too. These private areas include my room and Sister Tang's room. It's not suitable for a bunch of men to enter our rooms," Li Yinfei continued.
"Of course. That is why we brought a few female investigators. We won't dare to offend you." The leader heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this and he hurriedly explained their arrangement.
"I don't like people entering my room. I'm sure Sister Tang feels the same way too. However, if I don't let you in, you won't feel at ease too." Li Yinfei smiled at the leader. The leader felt cold sweat dripping down his forehead. The pressure when meeting his goddess was greater than meeting his superiors.
"I have a suggestion. I'll allow you to send one female investigator into our rooms. She will take a look at the room and leave quickly. If you can't fulfill this wish, I'm afraid that I can't let you search the starship." Li Yinfei sounded firm. There was no room for more discussion.
The leader quickly discussed with his assistant. In the end, they agreed to Li Yinfei's request.
Li Yinfei shifted her body to allow the people from Mailer Fa to enter the starship. The maids and workers under Tang Yingying were unhappy that she was acting as the owner of the ship. But, since their young miss didn't say anything, they kept quiet too. They just glared at the people from Mai'er Fa.
After the people from Mai'er Fa entered the starship, Li Yinfei asked Tang Yingying to follow them along with her. Tang Yingying walked behind Li Yinfei. She used hand gestures to ask Tang He to remain on his guard. If he noticed anything amiss, they would lock the starship down. She was ready to protect her brother cousin all the way to the end.
Soon, the people from Mailer Fa searched through most of the starship. The only locations left were Tang Yingying and Li Yinfei's room.
"I'm sorry. These places are safe. However, there are two places we haven't searched yet." The people from Mailer Fa wouldn't give up halfway. Hence, they reminded the people from Beitang when they noticed that they didn't plan to bring them to those two places.
Tang Yingying's expression turned dark. She wanted to say something but Li Yinfei shot a glance at her. She was unable to speak.
Tang Yingying was shocked. She wondered if Li Yinfei knew what she did so she planned to give her cousin brother to Mai'er Fa to please them. She started to get agitated and helpless. She was just a young lady slightly above 20 years old. She never experienced such situations before so it wasn't easy for her to remain calm until now.
As Tang Yingying was getting agitated, Li Yinfei opened her mouth. "If you keep your promise, I'll bring you to our rooms."
Li Yinfei scanned the crowd as she said this. Everyone thought that she was looking at them. They started to lose focus so no one noticed that Little Yang had left.
"Of course. Don't worry." The leader of the search team made his promise. They sent a handsome-looking female inspector. If she didn't have the curves of a female, most might have mistaken her for a man. She was at the peak stage of Qi-Jin. It was an outstanding achievement for a lady.
Li Yinfei nodded. She asked everyone to remain on the spot and took the female investigator into her room.
The female investigator scanned the room before walking in. Suddenly, she exclaimed, "What is that?"
Li Yinfei followed behind her calmly. She said nonchalantly, "What are you pointing at?"
The female investigator pointed to a hidden corner. "I saw a figure there."
Li Yinfei smiled at the female investigator. The female investigator tensed up. Li Yinfei said, "Since you said that you saw a figure there, go and take a look carefully."
Before the female inspector could reply, Li Yinfei walked over beside a shelf and started playing with a precious artifact. She pretended to mutter to herself, "She's still young but why is her eyesight so bad? She can't even see properly."
The female investigator felt awkward. However, she still walked to the hidden corner and inspected it carefully. Then, she turned and said awkwardly, "I must have seen wrong."
Li Yinfei didn't turn around. She just continued playing with the artifact in her hand. "Look carefully next time. Don't miss anything. However, don't accuse randomly."
The female investigator hurriedly replied, "I won't. I won't do it again." She walked passed Li Yinfei and went to the other side of the room. She heaved a sigh of relief when she did so, as the pressure on her shoulders lessened.
Soon, Li Yinfei walked back with the female investigator. The female investigator shook her head.
Li Yinfei walked beside Tang Yingying and said in a low voice, "Sister, she is just a lady. It's okay to let her see your room. She doesn't have the ability to do anything to you. They'll feel at ease after looking around. Hmph, don't forget what I did for you." Li Yinfei glared at the people from Mailer Fa when she said the last sentence. The people from Mai'er Fa wiped their cold sweat. Their actions still angered their goddess in the end.
Tang Yingying calmed down after hearing what Li Yinfei said. She looked at the lady who didn't have a strong force of presence. She remembered the abilities of her cousin brother and his comrade. She decided to take the risk.
As the young miss of the elite Beitang family, Tang Yingying was decisive when she should. She nodded and said, "You're right. If I don't let them look around my room, they might think that I have some hidden secrets." She walked up to the female investigator voluntarily and said, "Follow me. However, I have to remind you that everything in my room is precious. You can't touch them. If you break anything, I won't let you off."
The female investigator frowned when she detected the threatening tone. However, she knew that her mission was more important. She controlled her anger and replied, "Don't worry, Miss Tang. I won't touch anything in your room."
"That's good." Tang Yingying raised her head arrogantly. She portrayed the image of an arrogant young miss from an elite family to prove that the dignity of the elite family was not something people could easily step on.
Chapter 1042 Fool!
Tang Yingying brought the female investigator into her room. She appeared calm but in actual fact, she was extremely nervous. However, her heart was surprisingly beating at a steady pace. She was surprised that she was still able to maintain her cool at this moment.
"Ah, what's that?" The female investigator reenacted the scene that happened in Li Yinfei's room.
Tang Yingying's heart skipped a beat. She thought that her heart would stop beating but to her surprise, she managed to remain composed right after the shock she initially experienced.
As her heart beat steadily, the agitated Tang Yingying calmed down. She glared at the female investigator and said, "Why did you shout so suddenly? What did you see?"
"Don't you know what that is?" The female investigator looked at Tang Yingying coldly. "Miss Tang, you should think about how you'll explain to Mai'er Fa."
Compared to Li Yinfei, Tang Yingying was much younger and inexperienced, so the female investigator wasn't afraid of her and was much more aggressive with her accusations.
Tang Yingying was frustrated when she saw the confident and arrogant expression on the female investigator. She wanted to scream out loud and ask her cousin brother to kill this lady.
At that moment, a refreshing aura suddenly flowed into Tang Yingying's head. She regained her composure and reacted quickly. She said furiously, "What do I need to explain? The person who should be explaining is you!"
Tang Yingying was angry but not nervous. The coldness on the female investigator's face disappeared. She said nonchalantly, "In that case, let's go over and see what's over there."
Tang Yingying snorted. "I want to know what is over there too. If there's nothing, you better give me an explanation or else."
Tang Yingying was worried but her heart was extremely strong today. It was still able to beat steadily. This made her calm. Plus, she showed no loopholes in her expression.
The female investigator walked into a walk-in closet. Tang Yingying was afraid that her cousin and his friend were inside but she still encouraged herself and followed the female investigator in.
Fortunately, there was no one inside. There were only clothes. The female investigator inspected the other corners of the room. She left no suspicious spots untouched, but she found nothing in the end.
When she noticed that the female investigator didn't find anything, Tang Yingying got confident. She demanded an explanation for the sudden scare she received at the start. The female investigator had no choice but to apologize. Then, she left the room dejectedly.
When she returned outside, the female investigator shook her head at the leader, expressing that she didn't find anything. The leader was dejected but relieved at the same time. The workers from Beitang and Tang Yingying were furious at their insolence so they glared at the people from Mai'er Fa. The people from Mailer Fa had to apologize to them profusely before running away from the starship.
After the people from Mai'er Fa left the starship, Tang Yingying could finally relax. She was too nervous just now so when she suddenly relaxed, her legs gave way and she fell towards the ground. Suddenly, someone held her up and stabilized her body.
The strangest thing was, even after so much shock and torment, her heart continued pounding stably without any fluctuations.
Li Yinfei watched the people from Mai'er Fa disappeared from her gaze. Then, she turned and said to Tang Yingying, "Sister, it's infuriating how Mai'er Fa is stepping on us but it also proved that something big had happened here. If we continued staying here, we might be in danger. Why don't we leave this place?"
Tang Yingying agreed wholeheartedly with what Li Yinfei said. She appeared serious as she replied, "You're right. I don't want to stay in this stupid place anymore."
She remembered the humiliation she suffered from the female investigator and said angrily, "However, this matter will not just end like this." She turned around instantly and shouted, "Grandpa He, send Mailer Fa a complaint and ask them to give me an explanation. Also, send them a request for us to leave this port. We're going home!"
"Yes, young miss." Tang He's calm voice sounded behind Tang Yingying. The dignity of the Beitang family couldn't be violated easily.
Within the few minutes, the request to leave the port reached Mai'er Fa. At the same time, their complaint was sent over too. Li Yinfei's letter, which was filled with hidden meaning, was also sent to the administration of Mailer Fa.
At that moment, the search team was reporting their findings to their chief.
"So there's no problem with Beitang family's starship, right?" The chief frowned.
"Yes. The female investigator we send this time has a special innate talent. Although her physical skills is average, her innate talent is exceptional," the leader of the search team said in a low voice.
"Oh?" The chief was curious.
"It's Body Inspection! She can hear heartbeats and detect hidden emotions of people around her. That way, she will be able to determine whether the person she's inspecting is speaking the truth or not."
"What the result" The chief was curious.
"We went to inspect most areas together. The domain realm masters who specialize in investigation confirmed that these areas are safe. The only places they didn't go to was Miss Li and Miss Tang's room." The leader of the search team continued, "These two places are more sensitive so Miss Li hoped that we will just send one female investigator in instead. We agreed to her request in the end. We sent the female investigator who had Body Inspection."
"Miss Li was very open. No matter how the female investigator tried to fool her, she gave no reaction." The leader gave a bitter smile. "She even saw through the female investigator's scheme and gave her a warning."
"Either she's guilty or she prepared beforehand and isn't afraid of the search." The chief looked at the letter sent by Li Yinfei. He shook his head. If they were really guilty, Li Yinfei wouldn't act so rashly. She would lay low for a few days and leave secretly after some starships left the port. She would try to hide among the other starships and not be the first one to apply to leave, as this would catch all their attention.
"What about Miss Tang?" Compared to Li Yinfei, the chief suspected Tang Yingying more. After all, from the information they received, one of the people they were pursuing was related to the Beitang family.
"There were fluctuations in Miss Tang's heart rate but it coincides with the shock she got and her anger. Other than those times, her heartbeat was stable. She didn't show any signs of nervousness or frustration. She's probably innocent." The leader reported what the female investigator told him.
"They're all innocent?" The chief felt a little worried.
"After the search, they voiced out their complaints and requested to leave the port. This is what a little girl who was bullied would do." The chief touched his chin. "Do you think I should believe them?"
The leader pretended that he didn't hear anything. He gave a confused smile. He was not stupid. If his answer was wrong, all the blame would be pushed to him.
Chapter 1043 Compliment!
By now, after a week of rest and treatment, Su Pei's injury had gotten better. He could walk on his own now. Xiao Yiqiu arranged for a starship to send him and Su Pei away from Mai'er Fa. They needed to go back to the Huaxia Federation quickly, as there was not much time left until the assessment of the Flying Dragon Special Forces. Su Pei must go back and undergo more treatments to ensure that he would be able to recover before the assessment. Whether they would enter the Flying Dragon Special Forces or not depended on their performance.
Coincidentally, Tang Yingying's starship left along with Xiao Yiqiu's starship. The chief couldn't find any evidence that they were hiding the culprits so he had to let them leave. Of course, if there was only Miss Tang on the starship, they could force her to remain in Mailer Fa. However, Li Yinfei was on board too so Mailer Fa didn't dare to go overboard with their request. They were the ones who invited Li Yinfei to star in their opening ceremony for the mecha tournament. If they suspected and forced their guests to stay behind, their reputation as the safest and most free gambling city would be gone down the drain.
After Xiao Yiqiu and Tang Yingying left, the curfew on Mai'er Fa was lifted. More and more spacecraft started leaving Mailer Fa.
The battle between Ling Lan and Sword Monarch damaged the hosting venue of the mecha tournament. The main structure wasn't destroyed but it would still take a month to reconstruct the building. Hence, the mecha tournament had to be paused for three months. Many gamblers who came specially for the mecha tournament had no choice but to leave with regret. Not everyone had the time or money to stay on Mai'er Fa for three months.
This matter affected Mailer Fa's reputation heavily. They made the necessary arrangements in time but it still caused a huge impact on their reputation. Because of this sudden incident, a few hundred people died. This was the first incident that caused so many deaths within the past hundred years of the creation of Mailer Fa. It was a stain in the history of Mai'er Fa, causing Mai'er Fa's reputation to decrease tremendously. Many factions that were eyeing on Mai'er Fa started becoming restless. However, peace resumed after a while.
Mai'er Fa was busy handling the implications of the incident but they didn't stop watching over their neighboring factions. The moment they noticed some suspicious actions from those factions, they acted immediately. The neighboring factions understood that Mai'er Fa was still the same Mailer Fa. They didn't have any imperial realm formidable warriors so they couldn't fight with Mailer Fa.
Why didn't they send imperial mechas? An imperial mecha may be as powerful as an imperial realm formidable warrior but Mailer Fa had imperial mechas too. They had quite a few of them too. Mailer Fa also had pieces of equipment that could affect mechas. These pieces of equipment were able to diminish the power of an imperial mecha greatly. If they really sent an imperial mecha, its power might only be able to reach the level of an advanced mecha, at most a special-class mecha. Thus, sending an imperial realm formidable warrior made more sense. A mecha was huge so it was impossible for it to sneak into Mai'er Fa. Before it could reach the port, it might already be discovered.
An imperial realm formidable warrior could infiltrate Mailer Fa secretly. As long as he retracted his force of presence, he would be able to merge with the normal crowd. For instance, if Ling Lan didn't have the fight, the people from Mai'er Fa wouldn't know that an imperial realm formidable warrior had sneaked into their planet.
This was why there were powerful domain realm masters protecting the planet. This was to prevent the infiltration of other domain realm masters. If no physical skills master was able to handle the infiltrators, the nation would release their mechas. However, the destructive power of mechas was too frightening. Normal people wouldn't want to release this weapon. It could result in a mecha war and caused more harm to the nation. The nation might need more than ten years to patch the damage caused by the mecha war.
A few hours later, Tang Yingying's starship left the territory of Mai'er Fa. She heaved a sigh of relief. She could relax now.
"You all can go down. If there's nothing important, don't disturb me." Tang Yingying said to her maids.
"Yes, young miss." The maids answered respectfully and left. Only Elder Sister Nuo was left behind.
"Nuo'er, guard the door. Don't let anyone come in." Tang Yingying turned serious as she ordered Elder Sister Nuo.
"Yes, young miss." Elder Sister Nuo nodded and stood by the door. Once someone tried to enter the room, she would know instantly.
It could be seen that Tang Yingying trusted Elder Sister Nuo the most. Of course, as her personal maid, it was impossible for Tang Yingying to hide anything from her too. Hence, Tang Yingying decided to let Elder Sister Nuo know about her cousin so they could protect him together.
Besides Elder Sister Nuo, the only other person who knew that Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran were in her room was Grandpa He. Tang He looked like a normal old man but he was actually a titled domain realm formidable warrior. As for whether the two domain realm masters who were protecting her knew about this, Tang Ningyu didn't know. However, she knew that Grandpa He would have reminded them what they should say and what they shouldn't.
After making the necessary arrangements, Tang Yingying entered her bedroom. There was no one inside. However, she knew that her cousin and his friend were here. She closed the door and said softly, "Brother, elder brother..."
Two people walked out of the study room at the side.
"Brother, we finally left Mai'er Fa safely," Tang Yingying said
