Chapter 996 The Moon Squad Takes a Break
"Who said I'm giving up?"
Mo Qiu looked bewildered: "I will try carefully to find a solution, and if all else fails, I will seek help from other elves."
"But no matter which method you use, it will take a long time. During this time, I need to ask Gray Chestnut to stay by my side. I don't know if you'd be willing."
Mo Qiu inquired.
"Of course, no problem. We're going to stay in Maple Leaf Town for a long time anyway, but you have to be careful not to hurt Gray Chestnut."
Sai Xiaoxi answered before Hui Li could, and Hui Li quickly followed up, "Yes, yes, anyway, it won't affect my health, and of course I won't mind if it can help you again."
"Mo Qiu thanks you both. I was very rude earlier!" Mo Qiu said gratefully.
In fact, Grey Chestnut and Sai Xiaoxi had already prepared to explore the next star system.
They were telling a white lie, since helping the elves was more meaningful to them than exploring.
After making an agreement with Mo Qiu, Hui Li left with him, leaving the bored Sai Xiaoxi to return to the Maple Leaf Tavern alone.
At this moment, the unconscious elf had woken up and, upon being questioned by Feng Qin, revealed his name: Lubbock.
Unfortunately, but fortunately, Lubbock was unable to recall his identity or any of his past memories.
"He has amnesia. Do you have any ideas to help him recover his memory?"
Feng Qin shook her head.
Sai Xiaoxi sighed and looked at Lubbock, the little elf he had rescued, with a bored expression.
Lubbock had a head of pure white silver hair, and his exquisite suit seemed to have some special ability, remaining perfectly clean even after experiencing the impact of falling from the sky.
Everything spoke of Lubbock's extraordinary nature. Noticing Sai Xiaoxi's scrutiny, Lubbock remained silent, timidly stroking a small object.
"He seems to have a Rubik's Cube in his hand, did you give it to him?"
"No, he's been holding this thing in his hand ever since he woke up; it's probably a toy."
Despite saying that, Feng Qin couldn't help but reach out to the Rubik's Cube in Lubbock's hand: "Let me see it."
Putting aside the fact that this Rubik's Cube looks exquisite, even if it were just an ordinary toy, it could very well contain information about Lubbock.
"No...don't touch it!"
Before Feng Qin could even touch the Rubik's Cube, Lubbock pushed her away and then gripped it tightly in his hand with a wary expression.
Feng Qin and the small rest area of the competition
Seeing how nervous Lubbock was, I couldn't force him, so I could only turn my attention back to the Rubik's Cube.
The two fell into deep thought, unable to come up with a solution. Frustrated, Sai Xiaoxi decided to take Lubbock out for a walk to clear his head, especially to return to the spot where he fell, hoping it might help him recall some memories.
This method, though old-fashioned, is often very useful, especially when there is no other way and one has no choice but to try it as a last resort.
After a short rest, Sai Xiaoxi, Feng Qin, and Lubbock had been wandering around the maple forest for a long time, so they tentatively asked.
"Well, Lubbock, have you remembered anything?"
“Here…” Lubbock seemed to remember something, but a sharp pain in his head quickly stopped the memory from flooding back. “Ugh, my head…it hurts so much…”
"Let's go back. It seems there's something like a magnetic field affecting him here."
Feng Qin reminded her.
"The trail has gone cold again... We'll have to find another way."
And so, both Grey Chestnut and Sai Xiaoxi had things to do while staying in Maple Leaf Town.

Meanwhile, Wind Child Lan returned to his home planet, the Bree Galaxy, with the opened magic box (arriving earlier than Miris and Hunyuan Tianzun, since Hunyuan Tianzun spent almost the entire journey wandering around).
"Phew, the breeze from my hometown is definitely the most refreshing."
Wind Child Lan let out a long, comfortable sigh, but before he could fully relax, a figure that made him uneasy suddenly appeared.
"I also think that the night view here, in particular, can calm your mind."
"You're the leader of the Moon Squad!"
Wind Child Lan immediately tensed up.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to cause trouble, I just happened to be passing by."
"Hmph! I don't believe your sweet talk."
Wind Child Lan naturally wouldn't let her guard down easily, but Moon Crown was not one to be trifled with either. She immediately awakened her cherry blossom bloodline, and her expression suddenly turned lewd.
"You don't want to cause any major trouble here, do you, Lan?"
"What do you want to do?" A chill ran down Feng Zhi Zi·Lan's spine.
"Just treat me like an ordinary tourist, after all, I'm on vacation right now."
"take a vacation?"
"That's right, our invasion commission has been cancelled."
"Cancel the entrustment/delegation..."
Wind Child Lan's brain instantly crashed.
[The mission is over. They can no longer be considered enemies. Letting them have some fun seems like a good thing, better than causing a huge scene.]
[They treat invasion as nothing more than a commission?! Forgive me, but what right do I have to forgive the victims?]
Realizing that he had almost fallen into the enemy's verbal trap, Wind Child Storm's gaze was replaced by anger.
"Do you think I'll forgive you just like that? Do you think I can forgive you with just a few simple words? You have no right to talk about forgiveness, and you certainly don't!"
"I'm not here to ask for your forgiveness."
Yuemian sneered. He didn't consider himself an irredeemable villain, but he certainly didn't think he was a good person worthy of forgiveness.
"The magic box may really be about to turn things around."
"However, I would also like to remind you that Shinra will not stand idly by with such a high-profile operation."
Shinra?
We'll meet again sooner or later. I won't say anything more. See you again someday.
After saying a few rambling words, Yuemian immediately turned and left.
Compared to the Ai Squad and the Ring Squad, the Moon Squad is incredibly mild-mannered, but their aggression was ruthless and they do not deserve forgiveness.
Wind Child Lan ultimately did not choose to chase after them, but instead quickly returned home and told his mother, Sky Hope-Aishis, everything that had happened along the way.
The two sisters, Chimina and Chilina, stood aside and listened.
Of course, he didn't reveal the romantic entanglement he had with Sakura.
(If he really said something like that, Wind Child Lan would be branded as a mama's boy.)
"This is a last resort, Nunn."
Aish, the Hope of the Sky, silently mourned for a few seconds the passing of Nunn, the Source of the Vast Expanse.
Their relationship was that of well-known old friends, and she could empathize with many of their helplessness and heartache.
Sky's Hope, Isis, couldn't help but inquire about the situation in the Charlie Galaxy, for that might be the future of the Bree Galaxy.
His emotions calmed down a bit after learning that the Charlie Galaxy was protected by the Enlightened Primordial Spirit.
