Chapter 637 -58: Classmate, you’re disturbing my reading
Xu Mo, acquainted with four shareholders of the Blue Star Energy Technology Group.
Miss Elizabeth felt something was not quite right, but she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was amiss.
As far as she knew, Xu Mo and Izekat had met because of Xu Mo’s extensive theoretical knowledge that could guide both Ize and Carter in their cultivation. Later, it was confirmed that Xu Mo had not only theoretical knowledge but also decent combat skills.
As for his acquaintance with Sorey and Yekaterina, it was probably due to the Library.
However, Miss Elizabeth hadn’t considered the possibility of Xu Mo being a major shareholder; after all, the current share distribution was very clear, with Ross, as president of the Blue Star Energy Technology Group, holding the most shares, followed by the research and development team.
Besides, all company affairs were managed by Ross; it wouldn’t be normal for someone to leap to the suspicion that Xu Mo controlled Ross since Xu Mo had always been working as a librarian.
Even so, Miss Elizabeth had an unclear feeling as if she had overlooked something, but she couldn’t figure out what it might be.
Unable to make sense of it, Miss Elizabeth temporarily set aside these thoughts and continued looking for books, focusing instead on her own matters.
A moment later, Miss Elizabeth approached Xu Mo; Sorey and Yekaterina had already left.
“Could you recommend some books to me?” Miss Elizabeth asked.
“What kind of books would Miss Elizabeth like to read?” Xu Mo inquired.
“I’d like to read about a variety of topics: planetary history, strategy, psychology, economics…” Miss Elizabeth replied.
“Alright.” Xu Mo nodded; it seemed that Miss Elizabeth had become enlightened, beginning to delve into various fields of study. Indeed, if Miss Elizabeth intended to ascend the ranks, she would need to expand her knowledge.
Xu Mo’s ability to select books was unquestionable, and he quickly found several very representative and high-quality books for her.
Miss Elizabeth didn’t doubt Xu Mo’s abilities in the Library. Last year, Xu Mo was very eager to learn and had considerable natural talent. Unfortunately, she couldn’t employ him. She would think later about how to possibly recruit him under her command.
“How did you come to know Sorey and Yekaterina?” Miss Elizabeth asked, her beautiful eyes gazing into Xu Mo’s.
“The Soray brothers were trying to court girls, and that’s how I haphazardly made their acquaintance. As for Yekaterina, she has a curiosity about psychology,” Xu Mo responded with a smile. Miss Elizabeth nodded and cast aside any further suspicions.
The Library was entirely Xu Mo’s domain; it was normal for Sorey and Yekaterina to get to know Xu Mo there.
Perhaps she was overthinking it.
“Thank you.” After receiving the books, Miss Elizabeth thanked Xu Mo, much more politely than before.
“Serving Miss Elizabeth is my honor,” Xu Mo replied courteously.
Miss Elizabeth left the Library; the books would keep her occupied for some time.
However, she couldn’t neglect her cultivation. It had been a long time since she had seen her master, and she wondered if he would appear this year to guide her training.
Xu Mo watched Miss Elizabeth leave, his gaze flickering. He sensed that her questions had probably revealed she had noticed some traces, and feared the truth couldn’t be hidden much longer—sooner or later, Miss Elizabeth would come to know.
Nevertheless, now that the Blue Star Energy Technology Group had gotten on the right track and Miss Elizabeth was developing in the direction he wished to see, even if she learned the truth, it probably wouldn’t matter much anymore.
…
With the beginning of the new academic term at Lucas University, the school saw the emergence of a new batch of notable freshmen.
Many compared this year’s newcomers to last year’s, finding that despite the comparison, the quality of this year’s freshmen was exceptionally high, no less impressive than the previous year’s.
For example, in the Extraordinary Department last year, there were notable figures like Sal from the Sak Kingdom and Princess Elizabeth from Lucas Star.
But this year, the Extraordinary Department welcomed two extraordinary individuals as well.
They were from the Canaan Star and the Baloma Royal Family.
Both of these stellar bodies were among the seven permanent council members of the Star System Alliance.
Nan Xiangyi, a member of the Canaan Star Royal Family, possessed a Source Power Level of A. Level A was the highest level for new students at Lucas University, exceeding many older students, as numerous second-year students remained at Source Power Level A Minus.
Thanks to the Canaan Star Royal Family’s special talents, their cultivation speed was extremely fast, allowing Nan Xiangyi to reach the impressive A Level right from the start of school.
Moreover, Nan Xiangyi’s beauty was extraordinary, not inferior to Princess Elizabeth of Lucas Star, with a different style that made her famous in a very short time, attracting countless admirers.
However, those who truly saw Nan Xiangyi did not dare to pursue her, feeling unworthy in her presence.
In addition, the Baloma Kingdom was also a special kingdom. Once very powerful, their society still operated under a system of slavery, ruling many planets with harsh measures. Their power diminished significantly after the outbreak of interstellar war yet the Baloma Kingdom remained one of the strongest forces within the Star System Alliance.
Nilo, the Prince of Baloma, had a Source Power Level of A Minus, but he had very strong combat power and high potential.
After arriving at Lucas University, Nilo started pursuing Nan Xiangyi, as securing the esteemed princess of Canaan Star would be exceptionally significant for the Baloma Kingdom.
