193: Visit Ancheng

This investigation made Li Yang instantly stand up from his chair, his face full of surprise.

It turned out that the AN01 Galaxy is located near the center of the entire Imperial territory and is one of the Empire's most important Galaxies.

At his fleet's regular cruising speed, departing from the Milky Way Galaxy, even at full speed, it would take at least a year and a half to arrive.

This time span was simply too long; even if he departed immediately, he wouldn't make it in time.

However, Li Yang quickly calmed down and began to ponder other feasible methods.

Suddenly, Li Yang thought of a point: he could first head to This Galaxy Cluster, use the fixed-point teleportation tunnel device there to reach the Virgo Supercluster, and then use the Virgo Supercluster's teleportation device to go to the AN01 Galaxy.

This way, although the journey would still be long, the time could be greatly reduced, amounting to only about half a month.

"No wonder Martin specifically came to remind me; the journey is so far that without an early departure, I wouldn't be able to make it at all."

Li Yang suddenly realized, and immediately used the communication device to call Pal over, preparing to arrange for departure tomorrow.

After all, his group had just arrived in the Milky Way Galaxy, and after a long journey, both personnel and the fleet needed a proper rest, and also had to replenish various resources before they could embark on the journey again.

"Captain Li Yang, is there something you need me for?"

After receiving the notification, Pal didn't dare to delay for a moment, quickly rushed to Li Yang's office, and asked respectfully.

"Notify the fleet to make all preparations; we will depart tomorrow, with This Galaxy Cluster as our destination."

Li Yang said with a serious expression.

"Yes!"

Although Pal was puzzled, not understanding why they were in such a hurry and why the destination was This Galaxy Cluster, the habit of obedience developed over many years made him respond quickly without hesitation, and he turned to arrange the relevant matters... After a night's rest, Li Yang got up early and went to the command bridge.

At this time, the fleet was ready in the dim light of dawn, all starships neatly arranged, their hulls gleaming with metallic luster under the morning sun.

After confirming that all preparations were foolproof, Li Yang gave the order, and the fleet slowly started, heading in the direction of This Galaxy Cluster.

In the vast expanse of the universe, Li Yang's fleet was like a flock of nimble interstellar birds; in less than half a day, they successfully traversed the vast interstellar space and smoothly arrived at This Galaxy Cluster.

However, Li Yang did not intend to go directly to the fixed-point teleportation device, but decided to first visit An Cheng, the chief justice of the Imperial Court in This Galaxy Cluster.

After all, as a newcomer to This Galaxy Cluster, it would be truly impolite to leave in a hurry without even saying hello; it would be unreasonable both emotionally and logically.

"Oh? Comrade Li Yang has arrived in This Galaxy Cluster?"

In the office, the secretary rushed in and informed An Cheng of this news.

An Cheng slightly raised his head, a hint of surprise and joy appearing on his face.

"Then postpone the subsequent meeting for now."

An Cheng said decisively after a brief thought.

In his heart, Li Yang's visit might involve important matters, which was more crucial than an ordinary meeting.

"Understood."

After receiving the order, the secretary quickly turned and left the office to carry out An Cheng's instructions.

About half an hour later, the starship carrying Li Yang steadily landed on the Imperial Court's exclusive traction bridge.

Led by the guide, Li Yang walked along the wide and bright corridor.

It must be said that the scale of the Imperial Court in This Galaxy Cluster was truly astonishing; in terms of size alone, it was almost comparable to the Galactic Administrative Center Department.

Li Yang looked around as he walked, marveling inwardly, finding it hard to imagine how magnificent and grand the administrative center of This Galaxy Cluster must be.

Compared to these massive Galaxies, the Milky Way Galaxy he was familiar with seemed to instantly shrink to an insignificant speck in the vast ocean.

Finally, Li Yang arrived at the door of An Cheng's office. After gently knocking and receiving permission, he pushed the door open.

"Chief Judge An, hello, I am Li Yang."

As soon as Li Yang entered the door, he greeted him with a warm smile, his voice carrying just the right amount of cordiality and respect.

"Quick, quick, have a seat and talk."

An Cheng hurriedly got up, greeted him with a beaming smile, and enthusiastically gestured for Li Yang to sit down.

He mused inwardly that Li Yang's sudden visit surely wasn't just for a simple reunion, and so he couldn't help but ask.

"Inspector Li, why did you suddenly think of visiting me? Is there something in the Milky Way Galaxy that needs my attention?"

"That's not it."

Li Yang smiled and waved his hand, then his expression became serious.

"It's like this..."

He then briefly explained receiving the invitation from the Friendship Mutual Aid Association and the long journey to the AN01 Galaxy with limited time.

"So that's it, the AN01 Galaxy is indeed too far from us."

An Cheng nodded slightly, indicating understanding.

After hearing Li Yang's account, he immediately patted his chest, confidently saying,

"Don't worry about this; I'll go and say hello to the management department over there right now, and also contact the relevant departments in the Virgo Supercluster, to ensure you can reach the AN01 Galaxy as quickly as possible."

Seeing An Cheng's generous and righteous actions, Li Yang was greatly surprised.

Originally, he had only come with the simple intention of visiting, never expecting to receive such a pleasant surprise.

As for the favor, Li Yang didn't worry too much.

With his current capabilities and developmental trajectory, repaying the favor might indeed have to wait until later.

Moreover, according to the current situation, this favor would most likely be repaid to An Cheng's son, Anno, and Anno was pretty much considered one of his own in Li Yang's heart.

Thinking this way, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage no matter how he calculated it.

"Then I'll truly trouble Chief Judge An; this kindness, I, Li Yang, will engrave in my heart."

Li Yang was filled with gratitude upon hearing An Cheng's promise, and hurriedly rose from his seat.

"Oh, come on, we're all comrades; there's no need to be so polite between us."

Seeing Li Yang's solemn thanks, An Cheng quickly waved his hand with a hearty smile, his tone full of closeness and warmth.

In his opinion, providing this little help to Li Yang was merely a small effort; mutual assistance was only natural.

Seeing An Cheng's warmth and magnanimity, Li Yang also found it inappropriate to be overly polite anymore.

After all, An Cheng had already indicated that they were comrades; being reserved would only make them seem distant.

So, Li Yang smiled and nodded, his eyes still retaining that gratitude.

Afterward, the two exchanged a few more simple pleasantries.

Li Yang glanced at the time, knowing that his time was pressing, and appropriately bid farewell.

An Cheng understood and rose to see him off, and the two shook hands again at the office door to say goodbye.
