Since mankind entered the era of interstellar migration and gradually stabilized, the power of the federal government has been centralized and unified at the beginning, and has gradually been emptied out by the ten major families. The chairman elected by the election conference held every 100 years is nominally the highest authority in the federation.
A consul, but in fact he is a figurehead in name only.
However, because of the Federal Military Department, the top ten aristocratic families did not dare to reveal their wild ambitions at will at first. However, as time went by, after the death of several famous generals who swept the universe and were invincible, the power of the Federal Military Department began to decline.
It started to go downhill. Even today, although the federal military headquarters still has a certain deterrent force, it is far worse than the scenery of the past. At this time, the top ten aristocratic families who had been recuperating for many years finally finally
Unwilling to be left alone, they began to gradually reveal their intentions.
This is especially obvious on their respective planets.
As the direct administrative star of the Zhao family, all military forces on Scorpio, including the military police guards who maintain daily security, from commanders to logistics soldiers, all only take orders from the current patriarch of the Zhao family, even the current president of the Federation.
Even if Hu Yalun comes in person, he may not be able to direct the movement.
It is precisely for this reason that although there are many people who covet elemental crystals, they can only hide in secret and dare not openly come to rob them.
After all, a person's power is limited. Even a master of Ye Di's level would not be willing to fall out with the top ten aristocratic families easily unless he had to.
But despite this, the Zhao family still maintains a high degree of vigilance and does not dare to be careless.
After all, this is related to the honor of their family. If someone takes the crystal from their hands, no matter who the opponent is or what method they use, their reputation will be greatly damaged.
After hearing the news of Qiaote's arrival, Duan Wuji, accompanied by Lin Yaxuan, hurriedly walked through a bamboo forest and then across a huge square before arriving in front of Zhao's house.
Because the current situation is relatively tense, the Zhao family has maintained a high degree of vigilance against visitors, especially strangers like Qiao Te, who they have never seen before, and they are even more concerned. There are four or five people with strong backs and waists, and they vaguely exude something like
The physical master with a powerful aura was standing in front of the alloy door, staring at him without blinking.
Duan Wuji had just gone out and saw this scene. He couldn't help but secretly felt that it was funny. The Zhao family's move was too fussy, and everyone was in a panic.
Qiaote, who was being monitored by several physical skills masters, had a relaxed and leisurely expression. He seemed not to notice that he was being stared at at all, and was casually browsing the surrounding buildings. Seeing Duan Wuji walking out of the door, he hurriedly
He went up to meet him. But as soon as he moved his feet, those physical skills masters immediately blocked his way, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Mr. Duan, that gentleman is looking for you. He said he is your junior brother, do you know him?" A son of the Zhao family with a strong expression walked up to Duan Wuji and said in a low voice.
Nodding, Duan Wuji reached out and patted his shoulder, smiling and saying: "Don't be nervous, he is indeed my junior brother."
The man looked relieved and said: "That's good, Mr. Duan, can I ask what kind of superpower your junior brother is cultivating?"
"Oh? Why do you think of asking this?" Duan Wuji was stunned for a moment and looked at him doubtfully.
The man smiled awkwardly and whispered: "Mr. Duan, it's all because of my lax discipline. When your junior brother first came, some of his subordinates accidentally provoked him. As a result, he glared at him and immediately fell into a coma.
In the past, I haven’t woken up until now..."
Duan Wuji laughed and said: "As my junior brother, I don't like to show off, but if I offend him, I will suffer. As for the superpower he cultivates, haha, we are the same teacher, what kind of superpower do you think he is?
able?"
With that said, he walked towards Qiao Te. After hearing the conversation between the two, the physical arts masters who intercepted Qiao Te also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After bowing politely to Duan Wuji, they stepped aside.
.
Pulling Qiaote aside, Duan Wuji asked in a low voice: "Why are you here? Did the teacher have any orders?"
"Miss Xueer went to Huangdu Star to attend an academic exchange meeting. The teacher was worried and went with her. Before leaving, let me come over to help you and gain some practical experience." Qiao Te said and glanced at the door.
Lin Yaxuan, who was waiting, babbled and said: "Brother Duan, is that the 'sister-in-law'? Why don't you introduce me to her?"
Duan Wuji reached out angrily and gave him a slap in the face, "The famous flower has an owner, and the owner is still your senior brother and me. Why are you anxious? Where is Sister Lizi? Why didn't she come with you? Is she still there?
mad at me?"
Qiao Te rubbed his head and said with a wry smile: "I think so. After you left that day, I tried to persuade her, but she didn't even listen and kicked me out. This time Miss Xue'er went to the Imperial Capital Planet.
It was Nas who was accompanying me, so she went with her."
Duan Wuji couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, "It seems that Sister Lizi still refuses to forgive me."
Seeing his extremely depressed look, Qiao Te smiled narrowly and said: "Don't be so sad. Sister Lizi is so smart, how could she not understand your painstaking efforts. Before she left, she had already thought about it and asked me
Let me tell you, political struggles involve any means, so you must be careful!"
"Okay, have you grown up? How dare you tease me?" Duan Wuji smiled and raised his hand, and when he was about to give Qiao Te another blow, a blue light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, a lavender color, with a
The slightly fragrant petals seemed to fall slowly and quickly on his hand, blocking him.
The powerful power contained in the petals made it impossible for him to knock it down.
Taking advantage of this gap, Qiao Te had already rushed to Lin Yaxuan's side.
Duan Wuji looked at his hand blankly, and then looked at Qiao Te who was showing great courtesy to Lin Yaxuan in disbelief, feeling shocked in his heart.
You must know that although mental powers are called the nemesis of elemental powers, they have a fatal flaw, that is, they cannot carry out physical attacks. However, the abundant energy contained in the petals just now is clearly mental power. This is
, with his sense of thought, he will never feel wrong.
The three of them returned to the guest room where Duan Wuji lived.
"You two brothers, let's chat first, I'll prepare some refreshments for you!" Lin Yaxuan said and was about to leave.
"Hey, sister-in-law, stop shouting. Isn't it time to eat? What kind of refreshments are you preparing?" Qiao Te was so rude.
"Yaxuan, ignore him, go ahead." Duan Wuji winked, and Lin Yaxuan knew that he must have something to say to Qiao Te alone.
So he smiled and said, "That's not okay. After all, it's your first time to our Zhao family. I can't lose my etiquette. You guys sit down and I'll come as soon as I can."
After closing the door, Duan Wuji couldn't wait to ask: "Qiaote, what did you do with your hand just now?"
"Which hand?" Qiao Te was confused by his lack of words and couldn't react for a while.
Duan Wuji flipped his hand, and a petal appeared in his palm, which turned out to be the one Qiaote used to resist.
"Isn't spiritual power incapable of physical attacks? What's going on?" He looked at Qiaot nervously.
Qiaote laughed, "So this is what you asked, haha, do you really think I used this petal to stop you?"
"Isn't it?"
"of course not!"
Qiao Te pointed to his head, "I just used my mental power to interfere with your brain waves, causing you to have your own attacks that were blocked by these petals. That's all. This is just a deception. It doesn't matter.
To think that I actually hid it from you, haha!"
Duan Wuji was stunned. His original excitement was suddenly wiped out. He smiled bitterly and said, "I was wondering just now when mental powers can be used for physical attacks. It turns out that it is a blindfold. Oh, I am so happy for nothing."
Qiaot rolled his eyes and said, "As you may think, unless you condense your mental abilities to the point of mimicry, it will be impossible to form power elements and make physical attacks. At best, you can move objects in the air.
It’s already amazing.”
As he spoke, he scanned the furnishings in the room and focused his gaze on a vase in the corner. The pupils in his eyes shrank slightly, and the vase suddenly seemed to be picked up by an invisible hand and slowly rose into the air.
, and then slowly flew towards him.
Grabbing the vase with his hand, Qiaote said proudly: "How's it going? This hand is pretty good, right? With my mental power, I can now control an object weighing ten kilograms a hundred meters away at will."
Duan Wuji snorted, "What's so bad about this? It's just a small trick."
"Tch! Don't you think the grapes are sour if you can't eat them?" Qiao Te shouted dissatisfied: "If you have the ability, you can also show me this little trick. It's not too demanding. Hey, just this petal will do..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt his body tense up. The next moment, his whole body and the sofa beneath him were enveloped by an invisible force and flew towards the opposite wall like an arrow.
"Ah..." Qiao Te subconsciously let out a scream.
Just when he was about to come into close contact with the wall, the castration suddenly stopped. The strong inertia made him almost spit out blood. He was confused for a while and his ears were buzzing.
