I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

Although their relationship has improved recently, this kind of almost worshipful praise seems unreasonable.

"Tekkanman really isn't a big problem for us."

Xu Yan chuckled and replied, "As long as we give them time, they won't pose a real threat. What we need now is to gain experience."

Manji's smile was still sweet: "That's right, but time is running out. Fortunately, you are here, so we still have hope."

Xu Yan frowned slightly. Man Ji's words sounded too flattering, and alarm bells rang in his heart.

Although he was unsure of her intentions, she showed no hostility, so Xu Yan decided to wait and see.

"I'm done eating, take your time and enjoy."

After saying that, Xu Yan stood up, leaving behind a clean plate. His speed was so fast that Man Ji swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

After Xu Yan quickly finished his meal, he decided to go to Fudile to find out what happened. His intuition told him that there must be something behind Man Ji's behavior today.

And from her words, he vaguely felt that someone wanted to obtain the Fengque technology - this was something that absolutely could not be given away.

After all, manufacturing core technology like the Ark Reactor is by no means easy; it is a unique technological crystallization.

Xu Yan walked into the command room and asked Fudile directly: "Manji's behavior today is very unusual. Do you know what's going on?"

Fudile replied with a confused look on his face, "I'm not sure what you mean by 'unusual'."

"I thought it was your arrangement." Xu Yan stared at Fudile, trying to find clues from the other's eyes.

"I have no idea." Fudile was even more confused and felt that Xu Yan's reaction today was a little strange.

"If not you, then who?"

Xu Yan frowned and thought. All the big and small matters in the base were usually decided by Fudile. Since he was not involved, things became complicated.

"Can you tell me exactly what happened?" Fudile urged.

Xu Yan then recounted his experience. After listening, Fudile nodded in agreement, "Logically, Manji shouldn't have done this. It seems someone is behind this, and it seems they're targeting you."

Although he appeared serious on the surface, Fudile was actually feeling a bit gloating in his heart - it was indeed a pleasure for him to see the usually calm Xu Yan get into trouble.

"We have to be more vigilant. I have Fengque, Xuanwu and Azure to protect myself, but if the conspiracy targets the entire base, you will be in danger." Xu Yan said.

"You're right, but I think there's nothing wrong with Manji herself. I just don't know why she behaved like this." Fudile frowned and thought.

Xu Yan smiled secretly in his heart: Now it’s Fudyle’s turn to have a headache.

He looked at Fudile and said, "You should look into this matter carefully."

The most suitable person to investigate this matter is Fudile, who has an official status. If handled properly, this may become an opportunity for him.

"I will keep an eye on it, but I can't guarantee that I can find the cause, so you have to be more careful." Fudile added, giving Xu Yan a warning.

Xu Yan laughed without saying anything, thinking that Fudyle still dared to threaten him at this time.

Then, Xu Yan turned to the back of Fudile who was about to leave and said:

"My spaceship, Azure, has been repaired, and I plan to return to my base. It may have become a target of public attack, so I must go back to guard it, otherwise there is no guarantee that nothing will happen."

"Da, da!" Fudile's footsteps suddenly stopped, as if time stopped at this moment.

He turned around and looked at Xu Yan, his eyes full of questions, as if waiting for an explanation.

But what about Xu Yan? He wouldn't care about that.

"The weather is really nice today." Xu Yan hummed a tuneless little song to himself and walked away without looking back.

"Xiao Ya, start the energy system, we are ready to go home." Xu Yan ordered through the communicator as he walked.

"Okay, boss, the equipment will be preheated by the time you arrive." Xiaoya responded.

"Having Xiaoya here really saves me a lot of worries." Xu Yan sighed lightly and continued to walk towards the spaceship happily.

Everyone he met along the way could feel that Xu Yan was in a particularly good mood today. The way he hummed songs all the way made people curious about what good thing had happened.

"Xiaoya, everything is ready, get ready for takeoff." Xu Yan said after fastening his seat belt.

"How dare you abandon me!"

At this time, Man Ji rushed over panting, and spread her arms to block the way of the Azure.

"This is trouble." Xu Yan shook his head helplessly.

Although he didn't mind working with women, he didn't like having someone watching him while he was doing experiments, especially when the other person was an expert of unknown strength, which made it difficult for him to concentrate on his work.

What confuses Xu Yan even more is that Man Ji's recent behavior has been abnormal, changing from her initial aversion to him to her current almost worshipful attitude.

All this happened too quickly, forcing him to re-examine Manji's motives for approaching him.

"Xiaoya, open the door." Faced with Man Ji blocking his way, Xu Yan had to compromise.

"Yes, boss. However, Manji's behavior today was indeed a bit strange." Xiaoya also noticed this.

Xu Yan frowned and said to Feng Que, "Do you also feel something is wrong? When Man Ji came in just now, please help me check if there is anything wrong with her."

Xiaoya's reminder made Xu Yan more convinced that Manji's behavior was abnormal. He didn't know why Manji was like this, but his doubts were growing.

"Xu Yan, why do you want to leave me alone again?" Man Ji rushed into the cockpit, pointing at Xu Yan angrily and questioning.

"Haha, I just had a fight with Fudile and I'm in a bad mood. I'm about to go back to the base."

Xu Yan forced a smile and responded, but he noticed that Man Ji used the word "again", which made him even more confused.

"Hmph! No matter what you do, I won't let you get rid of me." Man Ji said and fastened her seat belt.

"Xiao Ya, prepare for takeoff!" Xu Yan turned and ordered.

"I understand!" Following Xiaoya's answer, the spacecraft started slowly, gradually accelerated, until it took off smoothly and headed towards the base's orbital exit.

Millie looked at the flying Azure and exclaimed:

"Dr. Xu Yan's spaceship is really amazing. It's equipped with an anti-gravity system, and it works so well. I really want to know how he did it."

"Xu Yan has been conducting secret research for the past two years. Who knows how far he has progressed. However, it is indeed a bit unfair of him not to share the technology." Pirusha complained.

"I will definitely catch up with him. Give me some time, and I will be able to build a similar spaceship. Then we can travel freely in the universe." Lu Yu said with a clenched fist, full of fighting spirit.

"Let's figure out the power problem first. This ship has no fuel room and does not need refueling. How is it powered?" Aibon asked, scratching his head, very curious.
