Shadows of the Deep Space-Chapter 1673 - 536: Awarding of Honors

"That’s right, there are two Generals, you didn’t know?"

Vice Admiral Alifei looked at Su Ming with some surprise.

Such an important matter, every General eligible for the election, pays great attention to it.

"I’ve been really busy lately, haven’t really been keeping up."

Su Ming chuckled in response.

"Only you kid would have such confidence. Mo Xiu and Xinlad have been crazily promoting themselves recently."

Alifei reminded Su Ming.

"I see."

Su Ming responded casually with a smile.

Just then, Su Yuan came running excitedly.

"Su Ming, so you were here."

"Oh, you finally dare to come back, aren’t you afraid of having your legs broken?"

Su Ming looked at Su Yuan and asked with a cheerful smile.

Upon hearing Su Ming’s words, Su Yuan’s expression stiffened, and he awkwardly said,

"Don’t mention it, I kneeled at home for several days."

"You had it coming, did Grandpa and the others come?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Su Ming replied with a laugh.

"Yes, they’re over there chatting with people."

Su Yuan pointed towards the distance.

"Okay!"

Su Ming glanced over and replied.

At this moment, a commotion came from afar, and Su Ming and the others turned to look.

They saw Mo Xiu dressed in a military uniform, striding in handsomely, followed by Luo Kui and others.

The various congressmen and generals immediately stepped forward to flatter him.

"Lord Mo Xiu, you finally arrived!"

"This public commendation ceremony, the most brilliant rising star, is definitely none other than you."

"Indeed, congratulations!"

...

"Thank you all for your compliments."

Mo Xiu replied modestly.

"Tch, what’s so great about him? Clearly, the most formidable of the new generation should be you, this bunch keeps praising Mo Xiu."

Su Yuan glanced over, complaining to Su Ming.

"We’re all on the same side, what’s the point of fighting over this."

Su Ming responded indifferently.

"How can that be? It’s obviously you who’s the strongest, why should he get the glory?"

Su Yuan replied a bit unwillingly.

"Ah well, my relationship with Mo Xiu is quite good actually. But with you all debating like this, it makes it seem like we’re enemies."

Su Ming said with a smile.

"Alright then."

Su Yuan responded helplessly.

Su Ming was about to say something when he suddenly saw Goodman standing with two officers, wearing the Lieutenant Colonel uniform.

He was about to call Goodman over when he saw a man wearing a Colonel uniform, tall and muscular, leading several officers towards Goodman.

"Well, isn’t it Goodman? What a coincidence!"

"Maluka, is there something you need?"

Goodman spoke up with his brows furrowed.

"Oh, can’t I just chat without any reason?"

"Nothing for us to talk about."

"Wow, how come you’re still a Lieutenant Colonel! After this commendation, I’ll soon be heading to Cosmic Army Headquarters for training to become a Major General. I thought we’d be promoted together, have some company, but now it seems you’ll still be a Lieutenant Colonel. Next time you see me, you’ll have to call me General, haha."

Maluka said smugly.

"Hmph!"

Although Goodman was furious, he didn’t retort, knowing that a rank can suppress a person.

In fact, Goodman felt very aggrieved. Originally, his military contributions were greater than Maluka’s. But since he was penalized and demoted, not only were his accomplishments deducted, but he was also not utilized afterwards. Having a blemish made it very difficult to climb back up.

"Tsk, is this how you talk back to a superior? Forget it, adults shouldn’t hold grudges against juniors, I won’t argue with you, haha."

Maluka walked away triumphantly.

At this moment, one of Goodman’s companions couldn’t help but spit on the ground and said,

"Damn, what kind of bird is this! How can such a coward be promoted to Major General?"

"Zhou Yan, don’t conflict with him."

Goodman advised his companion.

"Alright."

Zhou Yan and others replied begrudgingly.

Su Ming wasn’t sure what Goodman and Maluka were discussing, but judging by Goodman’s expression, it wasn’t anything good.

At this moment, Mia in a General Uniform walked over, spoke lazily to Su Ming and the others,

"You brats are here, making me search all over!"

Su Ming and Rhein greeted Mia with smiles.

"Mia, you’re here!"

Ferion and the others saw Mia, each with expressions somewhat unnatural.

"Mia."

"Hey, isn’t this Ferion, Jone, Alifei, long time no see."

Mia said with a chuckle.

"Indeed, it’s been quite a while."

Ferion and the others twitched their lips slightly, trying their best to avoid her, a meeting would be unlikely.

"Su Ming!"

A voice of surprise came through.

Mia’s smile immediately stiffened, vigilant as she turned to look.

Seeing Aifulin walking over with a face full of joy.

"General Aifulin, you came too."

Su Ming replied with a smile.

"Yes, it’s been a long time since we parted at the Abyss of Descent."

Aifulin’s cheeks were slightly flushed, she said softly.

"Aifulin, did you take the wrong medicine today? Why are you acting all shy?"

Mia looked at Aifulin with an odd expression.

"Mind your own business, I can act however I like!"

Aifulin’s temper was nearly ignited by Mia’s words, she glared at her angrily.

"Uh, calm down, both of you."

Seeing them about to argue, Su Ming’s expression stiffened, indeed they were foes.

At this moment, a polite voice sounded.

"Lord Su Ming."

Su Ming turned and saw Long Ying approaching, greeting with a smile.

"Miss Long Ying."

Su Ming replied politely.

Aifulin immediately grew vigilant upon seeing Long Ying. Though others didn’t know much about Long Ying, she was very aware.
