Travelling through the interstellar world, starting with the real and fake daughter

Mai Dongzi and Deputy Admiral Chen were conversing in the landing ship area when she noticed a dozen military landing ships docked nearby, all identical in appearance.

Mai Dongzi observed that several mechanical soldiers were inspecting these landing ships, while five young officers in uniforms identical to Deputy Admiral Chen’s were monitoring the results of these inspections.

This must be a security check before Prince Arthur disembarks from the command ship. After all, this is a heavily guarded military space station, and such checks are not required for ordinary people.

Mai Dongzi recalled the numerous assassination attempts reported throughout Prince Arthur’s life and felt deep sympathy.

The bounty on his head must be terrifyingly high; he would likely be second only to the top of the list.

It’s a typical case of having a glamorous exterior while being surrounded by danger. Many must covet his hidden status as the crown prince.

As an outsider, getting on Prince Arthur’s command ship and waiting here must be a rare privilege.

At least, it means she is considered harmless to Prince Arthur.

The mechanical soldiers quickly finished inspecting the landing ships and then dispersed, becoming part of the mechanical guards stationed around.

At this moment, Mai Dongzi heard the rhythmic sound of footsteps coming from behind her, from the command ship’s passageway to the landing ship area. Deputy Admiral Chen and Lieutenant Fu, who were already standing very straight, immediately adjusted their stances to stand as upright as spears.

In such a situation, Mai Dongzi naturally dared not use her mental abilities to “see” who was disembarking from the command ship. However, by observing the reactions of the two people in front of her, she could infer who was arriving.

Mai Dongzi instinctively turned her head and saw five young officers dressed in identical black military uniforms, all with the same upright posture and handsome features.

Her gaze naturally shifted to the young officer walking in the second position.

This young man wore a crisply pressed black military uniform. Apart from the slightly different shape of the gold epaulets and collar insignia compared to Deputy Admiral Chen and the others, everything else was the same.

Whether from her memories or the unique aura emanating from this man, Maidongzi immediately recognized him as Prince Arthur.

The aura around Prince Arthur was very strong, not only because he was an early-stage Level 8 warrior but also due to the noble demeanor he exuded.

Once Mai Dongzi confirmed Prince Arthur’s identity, she was about to look away and step behind Deputy Admiral Chen when Prince Arthur sensed her gaze, looked up at her, and their eyes met.

Mai Dongzi thought she must have been mistaken. In that moment of eye contact with Prince Arthur, she felt his gaze was familiar, causing her heart to tremble.

“Little Lucy, are you going back to the Xie family or directly to the Special Talent Training Center? They’ve already arranged a separate residence for you there. If you have no objections, it will be your exclusive dormitory from now on,” Deputy Admiral Chen asked.

“Let’s go back to the Xie family first. Once I’ve sorted things out there, I’ll head to the training center,” Mai Dongzi replied without hesitation.

Since the survival game ended, Mai Dongzi had been receiving constant messages and communications from the Xie family, all urging her to return home once she arrived at the Imperial Capital Star.

The most important message was from the new head of the Xie family, Yuandong Xie.

This new head, in terms of bloodline, should be Lucy’s cousin. He is younger than Negri Xie.

The new head manages the Xie family’s assets outside the Imperial Capital Star, so he is rarely at the family estate. Lucy has rarely seen him outside of major family gatherings, and she hasn’t even spoken to him in her memories.

Mai Dongzi neither knows nor wants to know how he was chosen. For her, as long as Negri Xie is no longer the family head, that’s enough.

Since the head of the family, as an elder, personally contacted her, Mai Dongzi had to return to the Xie family unless she wanted to sever ties with them.

The new family head mentioned in the communication that the main purpose of her return was to discuss her father’s inclusion in the family genealogy and to resolve her identity issues within the family.

It’s important to note that when Lucy left the Xie family, her status was still that of Negri and Zhao Fanni’s daughter.

Given the current situation, everyone knew that Mai Dongzi could no longer recognize the Negri couple as her parents.

Now, Mai Dongzi was no longer the quiet young girl she used to be. If the Xie family couldn’t provide her with a widely accepted identity, it would not only push this unparalleled talent away but also become a topic of ridicule among the noble families, as well as pressure from Prince Arthur.

The new family head and his supporters likely wanted to include Atom Xie in the family genealogy, which would resolve Lucy’s awkward status.

However, Atom Xie is an illegitimate child, and making him a legitimate member of the Xie family would certainly face considerable opposition.

In the story, Atom Xie did not die; his wish was always to gain the Xie family’s recognition, and he had been revolving around the Xie family in pursuit of this.

But society’s rejection of illegitimate children was strong, and Atom’s wish remained unfulfilled until the heroine received Prince Arthur’s favor, which finally led to his acceptance by the Xie family.

In this world where Mai Dongzi was reborn, Atom Xie had not only died long ago, but his daughter’s identity had also been swapped, and his wife had disappeared without a trace.

Although Atom Xie had passed away seventeen years ago, gaining recognition from the Xie family was his wish. As Mai Dongzi, who now benefits from this situation, it was natural for her to fulfill his wish.

Comparing the real situation with the story’s plot, Maidongzi concluded that these changes were likely related to Zhao Fanni.

However, since the information was insufficient, she needed to return to the Xie family and investigate Zhao Fanni to confirm her suspicions.

Additionally, Mai Dongzi also wanted to meet the few friends who had supported her even when Lucy was being trampled in the mud. These friends had emptied their small savings to reward her.

Coincidentally, the new head of the Xie family is the father of two of these friends.
