"Thank you, Sixth Uncle."
Su Ming took the jasmine tea and walked towards the reception room.
....
More than an hour later, inside the reception room.
Hilis and Olissa were enjoying some pastries and drinking tea, listening to Su Ming describe the wonders of wormhole space-time.
The two were utterly fascinated.
Though they were no strangers to interstellar travel, they had never ventured to such dangerous places; the Three Forbidden Zones seemed like mere legends to them.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps approached.
Su Ming and the two others turned their heads to see Su Cheng coming over, smiling broadly as he spoke.
"How are you doing, ladies? Had a good rest?"
"Quite well."
Hilis replied with a smile.
"That's good. I'm really busy on this side, still have to prepare for the live weapon combat performance, so I can't personally entertain you. I hope you'll understand."
"It's fine, Mr. Su Cheng, you are too polite."
Olissa replied courteously.
