Chapter 754: Chapter 740 Departure

Early in the morning, after breakfast, Yan Mo drove Xia Yue away from the Resort Area.

"I haven’t been out in so long, I kind of miss it." Xia Yue said with a smile as she watched the cars come and go outside.

[You just went out recently when your brother came over, you’re not that old to be forgetful.] The System, sitting in the back seat, reminded her after hearing her words, and looked at her with concern, hoping the Host wouldn’t start suffering from memory issues at such a young age.

Addressing Yan Mo, who was driving, [The place you’re going to should have professional medical equipment, right?]

"Yes, what about it?" Yan Mo asked, not quite catching on.

[Have her brain checked, or maybe a full-body examination. If she’s sick, it’s better to treat it early, lest she forgets what she’s doing during a task later on—that could be trouble.] The System said, pointing at Xia Yue.

"Shut up, we’ll be at the airport soon; you better stay inside for now." Annoyed at the System’s insinuation that she was ill, Xia Yue spoke to it with irritation.

[We still have more than an hour before we reach the airport, what’s the rush? And I’m just looking out for you, just in case.] The System wasn’t keen on staying inside; it was too boring.

"After cultivating, how could I catch such minor illnesses? Doesn’t Spiritual Power heal?" Xia Yue asked with confusion, having always believed that cultivation made her immune to all diseases.

The System widened its cat eyes in bewilderment, not understanding where she had gotten such an idea.

[Who told you that you can’t get sick after cultivating? Cultivation simply makes your body stronger and healthier, reducing the chance of illness, but it doesn’t guarantee absolute immunity.

If cultivation could cure diseases, why would the profession of a physician still exist? Everyone gets sick.] The System informed her, worried she might take her health too lightly.

"Ah? So that’s how it is—I actually thought cultivation meant I wouldn’t get sick." Xia Yue looked at him with a surprised face as she turned around.

[Not getting sick is wishful thinking. Even in the worlds with the highest technological and cultivation levels, no one can escape illnesses. It’s just that the diseases you have here might be considered minor there; they have more serious ones.] The System explained.

"Okay, I got it wrong," Xia Yue shook her head, expressing disappointment.

[Birth, old age, sickness, and death are universal—even gods go through them; it’s just that their lifespans are so long that you can’t see it.] The System said with a tone that seemed laced with the weight of ages.

"Cough, cough, cough, let’s not get into such heavy topics. Let’s listen to some cheerful music; it’s best to keep life enjoyable." Disliking the somber turn of the conversation, Xia Yue coughed a few times and turned on her phone to play cheerful music.

"Do you want some milk tea? There’s still some distance to the airport." Knowing she liked these things, Yan Mo asked.

"Yes, yes, let’s go get some milk tea." Xia Yue was certainly eager.

"I’ll find a nearby shop to order, and we can pick it up on the way." Xia Yue opened a food delivery app, found a nearby shop that she liked, and started placing an order.

"Do you want one?" Xia Yue asked Yan Mo after making her own selection.

"I don’t want any." Yan Mo had no interest in it.

"What about you?" Xia Yue then asked the System in the back seat.

[Same as usual.] The System promptly responded.

"All right then." Xia Yue nodded and ordered its usual favorite, then made the payment.

"We’re all set, let’s head out to this place." Xia Yue checked the shop’s address, entered it into the navigation system, and told Yan Mo to drive there.

"All right." Yan Mo nodded and followed the navigation to the shop.

After picking up the milk teas, they headed toward the airport.

When they arrived at the airport and parked the car, Xia Yue followed Yan Mo to a secluded area of the airport.

The System sat perched on Yan Mo’s shoulder.

"Aren’t we supposed to board a plane? Why are we heading this way?" Xia Yue asked Yan Mo curiously.

"We’re taking a private jet, so we can’t go over there," Yan Mo explained to her.

"Oh, okay." Xia Yue nodded, not fully understanding but content to follow along.

They reached a parking apron and saw a small aircraft waiting there.

"Are you Mr. Yan and Miss Xia?" A man under the plane came forward to inquire as they approached.

"Yes, here are my documents," Yan Mo nodded and presented a small booklet to him.

The man examined it carefully before handing it back to Yan Mo.

"Please follow me; we can depart immediately," the man told them, then led the way.

"Okay," Yan Mo nodded and walked with Xia Yue behind him.

Being around strangers, Xia Yue muted herself and followed Yan Mo’s lead, leaving things in his hands.

Once on the aircraft, Yan Mo settled down with Xia Yue, the man closed the door behind them, communicated with the pilot that they were ready for takeoff, and then sat down opposite them.

"We’re about to take off. Please fasten your seat belts," he instructed as he buckled up himself.

Xia Yue quickly fastened hers, while Yan Mo did so leisurely.

"Let me introduce myself; my name is Tan. You can call me Assistant Tan, and I’m in charge of your reception, as ordered by our superiors," Assistant Tan introduced himself.

"Nice to meet you," Xia Yue nodded to him.

"Where are we going this time?" Yan Mo inquired, already familiar with Assistant Tan and requiring the check of credentials for security measures.

"We’re heading to a secret base. It used to be a mining area, but after the ore was depleted, the site, which is quite extensive, was left idle. Anticipating future use, it was minimally maintained, and now it’s turned out to be very useful.

It’s quite hidden, not many know about it, making it the perfect place to store things." Assistant Tan explained.

"In the mountains? Are we going to have to climb?" Xia Yue looked at him and asked.

"No need, our aircraft will take us directly there," Assistant Tan shook his head.

"Well, that’s fine." Xia Yue nodded, having no desire to climb mountains, even though it wouldn’t tire her out nowadays—still, if she could avoid it, she preferred not to.

"Is Mr. Wei there?" Yan Mo asked, since Mr. Wei was supposed to be in charge of the matter concerning Xia Yue.

"He is. He’s handling security because this mission is of great importance. He’s on-site to lead and ensure everything goes smoothly. Moreover, there are quite a few individuals with significant status there who require his authority to manage." Assistant Tan mentioned.

It was known that many high-tech items had attracted a crowd of senior members who couldn’t afford any mishaps, given that they were national treasures. Without the same high level of rank, nobody could keep these seniors in check, which was why Mr. Wei was brought in—to keep an eye on them and, if necessary, forcibly send them to rest.

As a result, the base sometimes felt like a powder keg, with daily clashes between Mr. Wei and the senior members audible to all.
