A rare opportunity

Chapter 693 The Best Candidate

At this point, Li Yu could not blame Xu Qiankun and the others, so he immediately said to the remaining eighty-odd disciples:

"Okay! Since everyone has made a decision, please go back and prepare. After an hour, come back here to gather and prepare to set off! I would also like to remind you that you should not make it public after you go back!"

Everyone bowed and agreed, and then left quickly. After all, it happened suddenly, and most of them had some trivial matters to deal with. Of course, Yin Zijuan and the two disciples from the weapon refining workshop were exceptions. Because they had already made preparations!

Li Yu noticed that in addition to Yin Zijuan and the two disciples from the weapon refining workshop, there were still a few people who stayed where they were. It was not difficult for Li Yu to imagine that with Yin Zijuan's intelligence, she should have been well prepared. As the saying goes, those who are close to the water get the moon first! The two disciples from the weapon refining workshop naturally knew the purpose of this selection, and they had already packed their luggage and were ready to set off at any time!

But for the others, Li Yu couldn't help but feel a little confused! He couldn't help but glance at them. He found that these people were all unfamiliar, and their cultivation was relatively low. Moreover, they didn't seem to be familiar with each other. He thought they should be casual cultivators or disciples of some small sects!

At this moment, Li Yu saw Hou Rujing and Mu Chengqi getting off the spaceship one after another, and immediately went to meet them.

Before Li Yu could ask, Hou Rujing smiled and said:

"Don't worry, brother! We have already thoroughly checked the entire spacecraft. Everything is normal and we can set off at any time!"

"Good! Good! Thank you for your hard work!"

"Hahaha! Easy to say! Easy to say!"

Hou Rujing pulled Li Yu aside while smiling and whispered:

"Brother! Once we leave, we don't know when we can come back! But the spaceship has been flying in the void for a long time, so it is inevitable that there will be some damage! If it is not repaired in time, it is likely to cause a disaster! This requires a weapon refiner to accompany you. Brother, do you have a suitable candidate? If not, I will recommend one to you! What do you think of Lao Mu?"

Hearing this, Li Yu couldn't help but look up at Hou Rujing! But Hou Rujing didn't care and still smiled and said:

"Why are you staring at me? That's right! It was Old Mu who told me to tell you! It's up to you to take it with you or not! Anyway, I have also explained to Old Mu! But I have to remind you, although minor repairs can be done by any of the disciples in the weapon refining workshop, if the spaceship is seriously damaged or even scrapped, they will be powerless! Without the spaceship, we will be unable to move forward! As the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry! What should we do if this happens?

Although Lao Mu has a bad temper, his equipment refining skills are amazing! Not to mention on Lanyu Star, even if you look at the universe, he is probably the top one! With him around, let alone minor repairs, even if the spaceship is really destroyed, as long as there are enough materials, he can refine another one!

What's more, he is your master's father? You care about your master, but he cares more about his daughter! If you don't take him with you, he will inevitably be worried and unable to sleep or eat! "

Li Yu had considered these issues. First, he was worried that Mu Chengqi would be out of control. Second, he was worried that Mu Chengqi's departure would affect Lan Yuxing's weapon refining!

After listening to Hou Rujing's words, Li Yu thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense! Just as Hou Rujing said, even if he was left on Lanyu Star, he might not have the mind to refine weapons! Moreover, Hou Rujing's words were not alarmist! After all, flying in the void, not to mention the countless bandits. You may also be harassed by the strong wind in the void at any time, and be attacked by the beasts in the void! You may even be sucked into the terrible space black hole!

In such a situation, damage to the spacecraft is inevitable! The scrapping of the spacecraft is also likely to happen! If the spacecraft is really scrapped, the two disciples of the weapon refining workshop are indeed powerless! After all, in the process of refining the spacecraft, they all divided the work and cooperated! Only Mu Chengqi participated in the entire process of refining the spacecraft!

"But……"

Even so, Li Yu still hesitated! To be honest, Mu Chengqi was the best candidate for the weapon refining workshop on this journey! The reason why he didn't want to take him with him was not entirely because of his bad temper. Li Yu also considered Mu Xue! If both he and Mu Chengqi left, what would Mu Xue do? Mu Xue was different from Wu Linger after all! She was not as strong as Wu Linger and needed someone to take care of her!

"Brother! I know what you are worried about. Lao Mu has already promised me that he will definitely follow your command! As for that little girl? You don't have to worry! After all, she is no longer a child, and she is not as fragile as you think! Besides, with your influence on Lanyu Star, who dares to bully her? What's more, there are your senior sisters and junior sisters to take care of her."

Li Yu couldn't help but take a peek at Mu Chengqi. He saw that although he still had a sullen face, he was clearly pricking up his ears, trying to eavesdrop on their conversation. His expression was stiff and he seemed particularly nervous!

Li Yu lowered his head and thought for a long time before nodding and saying:

"Okay! Then let's do as Brother Hou said and take him with us!"

Hou Rujing immediately smiled and said:

"Okay, okay! I'll go tell him right away! I think that kid will be so happy!"

After saying this, the figure flashed and disappeared!

Li Yu agreed to take Mu Chengqi with him, but he was still worried about Mu Xue! He immediately sent a message to Hua Yu, asking her to take good care of Mu Xue!

Hua Yu was not without feeling strange about the sudden selection, but she just felt strange and did not think much about it.

When she received a message from Li Yu and learned that he was about to leave Lanyu Star, she couldn't help but regret it secretly! She regretted that she was late to realize it and failed to participate in the selection. But she didn't want to miss the opportunity to go with Li Yu to find medicine for her master! She immediately argued with reason and tried to persuade Li Yu to take her with him. After a lot of persuasion, Li Yu finally let her agree to stay in Lanyu Star to take charge of Plum Blossom Valley and take care of Mu Xue!

In less than an hour, the eighty-one selected monks returned to the weapon refining workshop! Each of them looked energetic and high-spirited! They were excited, and their eyes were full of beautiful imaginations about the unknown journey! They were not frightened by the dangers and difficulties described by Li Yu! On the contrary, they were full of fighting spirit to overcome all difficulties!

Seeing that everyone had arrived, all the necessary matters had been explained one by one. Li Yu took one last look at Xu Qiankun and the others, then waved his hand at the entourage and shouted:

"Come aboard!"

Watching the spaceship sail out of the refining hall and soar into the sky, Xu Qiankun and others felt extremely complicated! It was as if they had lost something extremely important, which made them feel lost! At the same time, the mountain that was pressing on their heads was removed, and they felt much more relaxed!

At the moment when the spaceship sailed out of the boundary wall, Wu Linger and Mu Xue, who were practicing hard, both felt panic! They rushed out of the place where they practiced, looked up at the sky, and couldn't help but burst into tears! They knew that Li Yu had left Lanyu Star! They didn't hate Li Yu for not taking them with him. Instead, they hated their own low cultivation level and couldn't keep up with Li Yu's pace! They all secretly made up their minds to practice hard and strive to keep up with Li Yu when they meet again!

They didn't doubt whether Li Yu could come back! In their opinion, as long as Li Yu was willing, there was nothing he couldn't do!

When the spaceship broke through the boundary wall, Li Yu ordered the spaceship to stop! Although he had done everything he should do and explained everything he should explain, he was still not at ease! He wanted to take one last look at Lanyu Star!

According to his instructions, the spaceship flew slowly along the boundary wall around the Blue Jade Star! Looking at the Earth where they grew up through the crystal window on the spaceship, the high-spirited monks also became emotional! Staring at the ancestral star outside the window, they were all silent! Some people even shed tears! After all, they didn't know when they would be able to return! They didn't even know if they would have a chance to return!

Li Yu was not in a sentimental mood! What he was concerned about was whether the monks of Lanyu Star would keep their original intentions after he left, and actively practice to protect Lanyu Star! What he was concerned about was whether anyone would have a different mind after he left!
