287 Impending War

"Then we will do it that way. I was also going to suggest this. This world is perfect for building your character. I know you uphold the knightly virtues and I respect that, but in some situations, you need to trust your judgment as well. This place will also help you get better control on your emotions. " Grandpa Mu was very satisfied with Mei's decision. He looked at the door to the room they were in and smiled. "I think you should let your family know what is going on."

Mei nodded and gave Grandpa Mu a hug which startled him. "Thank you… If you did not come all the way to this world to watch over me. I would not have known that my son could be saved."

Grandpa Mu patted Mei on the head. "I am just a servant. Your mother asked me to take care of you until she could come in person. I am just doing what was asked of me..." 

"Even if that is the case, you are like a real Grandpa to me and are part of my family. I don't care what anyone says." Mei was very serious as she said this. She truly felt that Grandpa Mu was part of her family. He taught her, looked out for her, and cared about her just like a grandfather would. 

Grandpa Mu's eyes turned red but he held back his tears. He had come to see Mei as his family as well. The time they had spent together while he was teaching her had truly taken the little girl as his granddaughter. He knew he shouldn't since he was just a servant of the house. But not hearing Mei's words he could finally feel at ease with his sentiments and truly become her grandfather.

"Then we will do as you say." Grandpa Mu did not know what to say and was a bit embarrassed. 

Mei let out a laugh and walked to exit the room. When she opened the door, Loeri, Tang Yu, and Frey were all right there. Loeri and Tang Yu both fell over and Frey? Well, she copied the other two and pretended to fall over as well. Letting out a laugh Mei bent over to help them all up. "What are you three doing?" 

"We were trying to figure out what was going on with Nomi..." Tang Yu replied.

"He can not be revived just yet. But in the future, once I am stronger, I should be able to. From what Grandpa Mu has told me. He said my strength is insufficient right now but in the future, I will be able to. For now, Grandpa Mu has sealed his soul to his body so the life that is still left in him will not be extinguished. So do not worry, I will revive Nomi." Mei said with a smile. The three all let out a sigh of relief. They had all come to love the little hardworking little guy.

"So Brother will be okay?" Frey asked in a worried tone.

"Mhm. I promise Nomi will be as good as new when the time comes. No matter how many years it takes, Mother will save him." Mei said patting Frey on the head gently.

"Mmm... Frey knows Mother would never lie to Frey." Finally putting on a smile Frey flew up and hugged Mei's cheeks and kissed it.

Planet Exidos, Machine Empire…

"Father! Jay… Jay has died..." Lina barged into her father's study with tears in her eyes.

"What, how?" A middle aged looking man sat behind his desk. He had a holographic screen in front of him with some documents on it. When he heard his daughter's voice he immediately looked up.

GD who followed behind Lina stepped forward to explain. "Sir we ran into two anomalies on the lower plane of the cultivator world when we went to find the target and annex the lower plane. We ran into Celestial Mu and also the target a little girl was much stronger than expected. She killed 76, 56, and Jay." 

"What!? Your whole team was basically wiped out by a little girl?" The middle aged man looked at GD in shock.

"Sir, she used magic that was equivalent to our orbital laser. No, it was even more powerful than our orbital laser." GD explained. Even he was shocked. If he did not escape when he did, he and Lina would have died as well.

"I see… We can not let this slide, that little girl is wanted by them. We can't bear the consequences of not handing her over or if we let her get away. Get the fifth and sixth numbers battalions ready. I do not think they can fight an army of one million." The middle aged man's eyes narrowed as he said this. He would wipe out anyone who opposed the Machine Empire!

"As you command!" GD's eyes lit up. Sending so many numbers was equivalent to a sure win. Though the numbers were inferior in grade, they were plentiful and mass produced, so their ranks could be easily replenished even if half of them got wiped out in the first battle. 

Lina who was standing to the side heard her father's words and a smug smile appeared on her lips. "That little bitch will definitely get what is coming to her!"
