Whether it’s cruising speed, defensive capabilities, stealth, or agility, all are top-notch.
Theoretically speaking, even if it were just on autopilot, there’d be no possibility of it being captured by the comparatively smaller and fewer warships of the Michelle’s Tower Interstellar Fleet.
Why was Link thinking so pessimistically?
When Jasmine thought about how they had been knocked out in Lotson after discovering the starfleet, causing them to miss the best time window to shake off the fleet, she fully understood why Link was so pessimistic.
Wizards either do nothing or go all out.
If Lotson used Link and Jasmine as bait to fish for something, he wouldn’t allow the bait to fall off the hook before attracting what he wanted to catch.
Therefore, even if Link’s piloting skills were incredibly good and he could shake off Michelle’s Tower Interstellar Fleet, Lotson would have other tricks up his sleeve to bring Link and Jasmine back to the position of bait.
However…
Jasmine frowned slightly and after a moment of contemplation, she asked, “Link, do you have some unspoken understanding with Lotson regarding this baiting business? Am I the only one kept in the dark, foolishly unaware of everything?”
Upon hearing this, Link fell silent for a while, but his hands didn’t stop moving, as he continued to tap in commands to maneuver the starship, evading the starfleet’s encirclement.
The atmosphere in the cockpit grew slightly tense.
It wasn’t that Link didn’t want to answer Jasmine’s question in time, or that he had some unspeakable secret.
But the commander of Michelle’s Tower Interstellar Fleet had made some adjustments and then launched a large-scale flanking interception maneuver.
Link had to concentrate, put all his effort into escaping the fleet’s encirclement, and find a way through an incredibly tight gap to break out of the surrounding trap.
Luckily, his piloting skills combined with the starship’s performance were a great match, and once again, they narrowly escaped danger.
Jasmine, understanding the situation, didn’t inappropriately press for an answer, not insisting on an explanation during those moments.
Once the starship was in a better position, and there was a breather, Link immediately said, “We do have some tacit understanding, but not much. I had guessed that Lotson might take the lead on this matter, but I never thought he would confront Great Sage Mitchell head on, much less use us as bait to fish for Mitchell.”
“Yeah, what exactly about you, or us, caught the eye of Great Sage Mitchell so much that he’s determined to have you?”
Picking up where Link left off, Jasmine voiced the doubt that had been hidden in her heart, “Last time, because of his desire to get you, Great Sage Mitchell made such a big scene.”
“I don’t know.”
Link shrugged helplessly and said, “If I did, many things wouldn’t have escalated to this point.”
Jasmine could fully comprehend Link’s helplessness.
After all, during the years when Link was shelved by the Supreme Council and Ravensmouth College, it was Jasmine who stayed by his side.
It was also Jasmine who watched as Link fell from his position as the foremost wizard of his generation to someone who seemed to become just another face in the crowd.
Jasmine saw many of their contemporaries ascend to Level Five Sages one after another, taking advantage of the conveniences afforded by developing parallel universes, while Link remained stuck at the fourth level without any progress.
In such an extensive wizard civilization, rumors and whispers were inescapable.
The same was true within Ravensmouth College.
Many said that Link Grande had lost his courage and spirit.
It wasn’t until just before their trip to the parallel universe that Link, at the High Council and still ranked as a Fourth Level Sage, with an overwhelmingly dominant manner, beat up those peers who had risen to Level Five Sages and sought revenge on him one by one. Only then did the rumors start to subside.
But there were still some stubborn people who mocked Link.
They said things like Elise Clark didn’t make a move, but if Eric Clark had, Link Grande would probably be beaten to a pulp.
This really displeased Jasmine.
If it hadn’t been for Elise becoming Jasmine’s best friend, Jasmine would have definitely egged Link on to give Elise a good thrashing.
Looking back now, if Link truly knew why Great Sage Mitchell valued him so much and was always trying to capture him, he wouldn’t have always been in such a passive position.
Even if he couldn’t completely dissuade Great Sage Mitchell’s ambitions, he could have taken some targeted precautions against them.
So, after coming to the parallel universe, after accompanying Lotson in a search for stars and light, and after a visit to the Heavenly Master’s Mansion, was Link really still unaware of what Great Sage Mitchell saw in him?

Link felt a pang of guilt, pursed his lips, and stayed silent.
There were some things, he would tell Jasmine when it was appropriate to do so, but now was not the right time.
Just wait a bit longer.
Jasmine glanced at Link, her lips also pursed slightly, then she focused on helping Link pilot the starship, dodging pursuits, and asked no further questions.
This was the tacit understanding between husband and wife.
When one doesn’t want to speak, the other doesn’t ask.
In the void of space, the Land of Nothingness.
Lotson concealed his presence, closely monitoring the starship’s movements while also sparing some attention to the large-scale starfleet of Michelle’s Tower, which had broken through the hastily assembled blockade from the Supreme Council and continued its attack on the Revosorath Academy Advance Team.
