Chapter 268 Graduation Ceremony and Graduation Party

The next morning, Ning Xuan attended the graduation ceremony accompanied by Jiuwei. She wore a dazzling black and red long dress.

The graduation ceremony was held in the auditorium of the Central Star Military Academy. When Ning Xuan arrived at the entrance, she saw that there were more than a dozen blue light screens set up at the entrance of the auditorium. Whenever someone passed by, the blue light screens would emit a beeping sound.

"What is this instrument? Why is it placed here?" a student asked the staff supervising the scene curiously.

"It's a special substance detection instrument. This is for everyone's safety. Students, there's no need to be nervous," the staff member explained.

Following Ying Yaoshi's instructions, Ning Xuan left the spatial artifact she obtained from the nova in the villa instead of carrying it with her. She and Jiuwei passed through the blue light screen smoothly, but just as she was about to enter the gate, a man in a silver uniform stopped her.

"Ms. Ning, your graduation exam results are excellent, and you are an outstanding graduate of this year. Please use this VIP passage," the man said respectfully to Ning Xuan.

Ning Xuan glanced in the direction he was pointing. There was a corridor more than ten meters long, covered with a dense array of blue light screens. It seemed that she was still a key person under surveillance.

It's understandable, after all, her team had reported information and clues about the ruins of primitive civilizations, and most of the spatial artifacts on the nova came from the ruins of primitive civilizations. In terms of the chances of obtaining spatial artifacts, she did have a greater chance than others.

Although Ning Xuan guessed what these people were thinking, the reasons they gave her were hard for her to refuse. Besides, she didn't have any spatial artifacts on her, so she wasn't afraid of being closely monitored.

After Ning Xuan successfully walked through the passageway covered with blue light screens, she saw the uniformed staff member who had led her through there looking disappointed.

Just as Ning Xuan was about to enter the venue, she heard a piercing alarm sound outside.

The uniformed staff member's expression changed instantly upon hearing the sound. Without even saying goodbye to Ning Xuan, he turned and ran towards the direction from which the alarm was sounding.

Ning Xuan wasn't in a hurry to go in, so she simply turned back to see what was going on.

"Let me go! What do you want?" A well-dressed young man angrily shoved a staff member away.

"Young man, dangerous substances have been detected on you. Please cooperate with our inspection." The staff member in the silver uniform said to him with a serious expression.

Students who were entering through different passages stopped and curiously observed what was happening.

"Those who have passed the inspection, please enter the venue quickly and do not gather here." If a crowd is found to be gathering, someone will immediately come to clear the way.

The staff member in the silver uniform said something to the young man, who nodded and followed him toward the reception room next to the venue.

After they left, order was quickly restored at the scene.

After Ning Xuan entered the venue, the staff waiting inside recognized her and immediately led her to a seat in the front row.

As outstanding graduates, they are required to go on stage to receive awards. Their seats are all arranged in the front row, and each person's seat has a name sticker on it.

"Xuanxuan, you're here. By the way, did you see those blue light screens outside? Do you know what they're for? Just now, someone in front of me was walking along when one of those screens went off, and that student was immediately taken away." Tang Xue's seat was diagonally behind Ning Xuan, not far from her. Since not everyone was seated yet, Tang Xue leaned over to talk to Ning Xuan. "I don't know, but I just saw someone being taken away too," Ning Xuan replied, also showing great curiosity.

"Hey sister, I have inside information. I heard that this device is alarming because they were infected with some kind of virus on the nova and are carrying the virus in their bodies, so they need treatment," the girl sitting directly behind Ning Xuan said excitedly.

"What virus? It's clearly a treasure. I heard that someone obtained a very rare treasure on a new planet. That kind of thing is of great research value to the entire Federation, which is why it's being targeted by the higher-ups." A boy sitting in the first row, not far from Ning Xuan, immediately retorted.

“If we have obtained a truly valuable treasure, we should hand it over to the Federation. The Federation will not treat us unfairly.” Someone else joined the conversation.

"Miss Ning, may I invite you to dance at tonight's party?" Ji Wuchen, dressed in an astrologer's robe and wearing a star-marked veil, walked over to Ning Xuan and said.

Ji Wuchen ranked third in this graduation exam and was also seated in the first row, not far from Ning Xuan.

Upon hearing Ji Wuchen's words, the beautiful girl beside him changed her expression drastically, glaring at Ning Xuan with hostility, and simultaneously released strands of mental energy to attack Ning Xuan.

Ning Xuan raised an eyebrow, severed the mental energy threads that were attacking her, and fiercely retaliated.

"Ah!" The girl screamed, clutching her head and crouching on the ground. After recovering, she returned to her seat without a word.

After their brief exchange, the girl realized the vast difference in strength between herself and Ning Xuan. She could no longer feel any jealousy towards Ning Xuan; in fact, she looked at Ning Xuan with a hint of envy in her eyes, wishing she could possess such strength as well.

"I'm sorry, she is a young lady from the Zhu family of the Four Spirits Clan. I'm not actually familiar with her, but I apologize for the inconvenience I've caused Miss Ning." Ji Wuchen bowed to Ning Xuan in a very gentlemanly manner to apologize.

"It's alright, Young Master Ji, just stay away from me." Ning Xuan said with a smile, without any politeness.

Ji Wuchen almost lost control of his expression; under his restraint, his face became somewhat distorted.

With his back to Security Zone 13, Mo Yu ranked first in the individual exams for this graduation.

He had noticed the commotion earlier, and seeing Ji Wuchen's discomfiture, he couldn't help but run over as well. "Ning Xuan, you touched my whole body on the new planet, and you took all my treasures. I want to redeem my things. Name your price."

Mo Yu did want to trick Ning Xuan and take back everything that had been stolen, but after checking Ning Xuan's background, he found that she almost never left Central Star and rarely even left the villa, making it too difficult to trick her.

“Sure, I’ll send the item to the Black Rose Auction House in ten days. You can go ahead and bid,” Ning Xuan said with a smile.

Mo Yu was so angry at her words that he almost ground his teeth to powder.

“Going to the auction house would incur handling fees, which is not cost-effective. How about we trade directly?” Mo Yu suppressed his anger and discussed with Ning Xuan.

“It’s okay, I’m willing to cover the handling fee,” Ning Xuan said to Mo Yu.
