Since Xingxi had been imprisoned in the underground secret chamber and remained in a coma for more than a decade, her body had not fully recovered.
Cheng Xiaofan dared not prolong the session and stopped at an appropriate point.
Even so, Xingxi was already panting and covered in a sheen of sweat.
"Xingxi, take a rest for a bit!" Cheng Xiaofan took an energy pill, fed it into her mouth, and said gently.
Xingxi nodded shyly, responding, "Mm-hmm."
Cheng Xiaofan said, "I'll call Jiang Tian's daughter and hope she can rush to the capital as soon as possible to attend the Star Lord Hall meeting tomorrow!"
Jiang Tian was the Star Lord's most trusted personal guard before his death.
Xingxi was naturally very familiar with him.
"You can call her. I also want to see Uncle Jiang's daughter!"
Xingxi said with a smile, "I think Uncle Jiang mentioned his daughter to me before. Her name is Jiang Hongyan, right?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Yes, her name is Jiang Hongyan."
He recounted to Xingxi how he met Jiang Hongyan and how he arranged for them to stay in Xinghua Village to avoid being hunted by Chen Xi.
Xingxi was filled with mixed emotions upon hearing this.
She sighed, "I really didn't expect Chen Xi, who was once such a good woman, to become so vicious. I can hardly imagine it!"
"Let's not talk about her."
Cheng Xiaofan said, "You rest."
While Xingxi lay down to rest, Cheng Xiaofan dialed Jiang Hongyan's phone.
"Oh, it's Mr. Cheng!"
Jiang Hongyan was ecstatic when she saw it was Cheng Xiaofan calling. "Seeing you call me makes me really happy!"
"By the way, Mr. Cheng, I just saw news online saying that there was a major upheaval in the Star Lord Hall. You're in the capital, have you heard what happened?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "This should be good news for you!"
"The original Star Lord is not dead; he has miraculously reappeared!"
"Chen Xi, who usurped the Star Lord's position, committed suicide after the original Star Lord appeared. Those demon cultivators who were loyal to her were all executed!"
"That's great! My dad will be so happy if he knew this in heaven!" Jiang Hongyan exclaimed with joy.
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Jiang Hongyan, I'm calling you to come to the capital. The Star Lord wants to see you very much."
Jiang Hongyan was surprised. "Mr. Cheng, how do you know the Star Lord wants to see me?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled, "Because the Star Lord and I are friends!"
Jiang Hongyan was utterly shocked. "What? You're friends with the Star Lord?"
"Why have you never told me?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "It wasn't convenient for me to say at the time!"
Jiang Hongyan immediately showed understanding. "Mr. Cheng, you have a point."
"By the way, can you tell me why the Star Lord wants to see me?"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Are you silly? Your father, Jiang Tian, was the Star Lord's personal guard. He was unfortunately ambushed for the Star Lord.
"Now, isn't it normal for him to want to see you?"
Unexpectedly!
Jiang Hongyan sighed and said, "Mr. Cheng, please tell the Star Lord for me that what has passed is in the past.
"I find Xinghua Village very suitable for me. As for the capital, let's forget about it!"
Cheng Xiaofan was speechless upon hearing this.
For a moment, he didn't know how to persuade her to come to the capital.
He knew very well that the blow caused by Jiang Tian's death was beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
"Mr. Cheng, when are you coming back to Xinghua Village?"
At this moment, Jiang Hongyan said, "I miss you!"
"..." Cheng Xiaofan didn't know how to answer her.
If he told her that he was the Star Lord, would she believe him?
But!
This was a fact he couldn't escape.
Sooner or later, he had to reveal the truth to her.
"Jiang Hongyan, let me tell you the truth. I am the Star Lord,"
Cheng Xiaofan had no choice but to tell her the truth. "My real name is Cheng Xiaofan!"
Jiang Hongyan on the other end of the phone was struck by lightning.
She said, "What? You are the Star Lord?"
Cheng Xiaofan asked, "Hongyan, back then, did your father ever mention whether the Star Lord had a clone outside the universe?"
Jiang Hongyan immediately replied, "Yes, I heard my dad mention it."
"Back then, the Star Lord's body was very weak. He said that if his clone from outside the universe found the Yanhuang planet and merged with him, he would become a complete person!"
"However, my dad didn't believe what the Star Lord said at the time. He thought it was due to the Star Lord's condition that he had this delusion!"
"Mr. Cheng, you mean... you are the Star Lord's clone who came from outside that universe?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Hongyan, you're right!"
"I traveled from the universe to the Yanhuang planet, and my first stop was Xinghua Village!"
"After that, I went to the capital to kill Wu Chenglong and to find the original Star Lord."
"Just last night, in the Beidou Palace of the Star Lord Hall, I found the Star Lord, who was imprisoned in the underground secret chamber. We merged into one."
Jiang Hongyan pondered for a while and said, "Mr. Cheng, I still prefer to call you that!"
"I appreciate your kindness, but let's not mention coming to the capital."
"I really like Xinghua Village, and I hope you can grant my wish!"
"Alright!"
Cheng Xiaofan couldn't force her any further. "Since you like Xinghua Village, I won't force you to return to the capital!"
Xingxi had not fallen asleep. Cheng Xiaofan's entire conversation with Jiang Hongyan had fallen into her ears.
After Cheng Xiaofan hung up the phone, he couldn't help but ask, "Star Lord, is Jiang Hongyan really unwilling to return to the capital?"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded. "Yes, the death of Jiang Tian has left too deep a psychological shadow on her!"
"Let her stay in Xinghua Village and enjoy a period of idyllic life!"
He then exhorted her, "Xingxi, after you succeed to the position of Star Lord, after some time, allocate some funds specifically for the development of Xinghua Village!"
Xingxi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will."
"From Jiang Hongyan's tone, I can tell she has fallen for you!"
Cheng Xiaofan shook his head and said with a wry smile, "But I can't give her anything. After I finish my business here, I have to return to another planet."
"In three years, I can come back to the Yanhuang planet."
Xingxi's eyes reddened upon hearing this. "Star Lord, please stay a few more days!"
Cheng Xiaofan pulled her into his arms and said, "Yes, I'll try to stay a couple of extra days. The day after tomorrow, I also want to visit the moon and pay my respects to Chang'e!"
Xingxi smiled upon hearing this. "Yes, you had a prior arrangement with Chang'e, and the Yanhuang Cosmic Sword was also given to you by her."
"You should go and meet her!"
In the information left by his other self, Chang'e had secretly traveled to the Huohuang planet more than ten years ago and met him.
The Yanhuang Cosmic Sword was forged by Chang'e using special materials from the moon and gifted to Cheng Xiaofan.
