Chapter 514: Chapter 514: Xiaochen will surpass me in the future!
The Imperial Family found a new planet that could sustain everyone’s survival, yet instead of being grateful to the Imperial Family, people are arguing online at this time?
Previously, when the Star Thieves and Insectoids attacked the planet, it was the Interstellar Warriors who defended its safety. Where were these online folks then?
To put it simply, these people are armchair critics.
Su Wan turned her head and asked Gu Jue, "Ajue, is it okay for them to talk like this?"
Gu Jue, "It’s fine, just watch, Zilan will issue a public statement in a bit."
As expected, the next day Gu Zilan started a live broadcast from his office. With his naturally refined and handsome appearance, sitting in front of the camera, he gave off a very approachable vibe.
And Little Gu Chen sat beside him, the beautiful wolf-eared boy, his features slowly becoming sharper, faintly revealing the contours of his father’s face.
Gu Zilan began to speak, "I am aware of the recent messages online. First of all, I wish to inform everyone that I have taken note of the IDs of those who have attempted to sabotage our Landis Star."
You are allowed to express your opinions, but what on earth are you all posting?
Do they really think the people of the Gu Family are their nannies?
It’s only because both Gu Jue and Gu Zilan have amiable temperaments. Had they been cruel, they would have embarked on a killing spree long ago.
No one would be allowed to run rampant online.
Some viewers of the broadcast suddenly felt a chill down their spines, and others quickly went to their computers to delete the nonsense they had posted!
Gu Zilan, "In the past, the Empire Planet was also discovered and settled by the Gu Family, who then led everyone to live in peace for several hundred years. We have specialized instruments that can predict when the energy will be depleted. Many know that a planet has its own lifespan."
"And our habitation on it inevitably shortens that lifespan."
"The reason we didn’t disclose the depletion of the planet’s energy to everyone was to prevent panic and fear, so we started the migration process very early."
At this moment, Little Gu Chen coughed and then said to the camera, "This planet was initially deemed unsuitable for human habitation because people kept disappearing without a trace. However, later, it was my father and mother who completely solved this issue, making Landis Star suitable for human habitation again."
"This place was discovered by my parents, and the military force here was also established by my father. In the future, it will protect everyone. Given these circumstances, the demands we make of you are already the mildest form of our approach."
The young man’s usually beautiful face suddenly lifted at the corner of his mouth, revealing sharp teeth.
The audience realized one thing, although the Gu Family appeared to be amiable on the surface, their beast transformation genes were of wild beasts!
Lions, tigers, wolves...
After showing his teeth to intimidate everyone, Little Gu Chen smiled sweetly and said, "I’m still young, so what I say is definitely easy to understand. You all understood me, right?"
The online audience: "..."
Why does it feel even colder down my back, and for some reason, even more frightening than Gu Zilan!
However, from that day on, the people of Landis Star realized something – their future ruler’s temper was actually not very good.
No, the people of the Gu Family actually all had their tempers.
It’s just that they had always regarded others as sheep.
Su Wan also watched the live broadcast. She was pleased with her son’s growth but also harbored a trace of concern.
"Pushing Xiaochen into the spotlight this early, could it bring any danger to the child? After all, he’s still so young!"
Gu Jue, however, comforted his wife, "Wanwan, don’t worry. Xiaochen is actually even more capable than Zilan."
After hearing this, Su Wan couldn’t help but feel a mix of laughter and tears, not knowing whether to feel relieved or to pity Zilan instead.
Gu Jue: "Actually, over the years, Xiaochen has learned a lot at the Imperial Palace. Despite his age, he can already hold his own."
Su Wan: "I know, but I am a mother after all, and I can’t help worrying about my son. He has been studying at the Imperial Palace since he was little, and I’ve always felt that we’ve been a bit too strict with him."
"He’s the eldest brother, so of course he has to strive to be outstanding. That way, he can set a good example for his younger brothers and sisters and protect them. It’s not me who demands this of him; he demands it of himself," Gu Jue said consolingly as he kissed his young wife’s long hair. "Xiaochen is more excellent than we can imagine. Maybe one day, his achievements will even surpass mine."
Gu Jue’s status is indeed unattainable by anyone else, and in hundreds of years, only he has been deemed a War God-like figure.
But by giving Xiaochen such high praise, he also gave Su Wan even greater confidence.
Gu Jue: "Oh, right, Wanwan, the preliminary list for the Probationary Commander selection is out, and you made it through."
Su Wan: "Telling me so directly, you’ve taken away all the surprise."
Gu Jue: "It’s all Bai Ze’s fault for telling me ahead of time."
Su Wan: "..."
It’s a good thing Bai Ze couldn’t hear this couple’s conversation, or it would surely spit blood for being blamed when it had kindly leaked the results ahead of time.
In terms of assessment, Su Wan didn’t need to rely on any connections. After all, her strengths were apparent, and knowing the results ahead of time, she appeared quite composed when she went to the military department the next day.
There were many who had signed up for the Ninth Squad, including Sheng An, Pandora, Alex Lin Yu, among others, besides Su Wan.
Except for logistics Luo Jina and medical Joe, who knew they wouldn’t be selected, so they didn’t sign up.
And then there was Li Mu, who didn’t sign up for some unknown reason.
All eyes were on him as Li Mu spoke in a low voice, "My mother has been unwell recently, so I won’t participate in this assessment. I’ll train for a few more years in the Royal Star Fleet, and I want to spend more time with my mother."
Su Wan: "What’s wrong with your mother’s health? Is there anything we can help with?"
Li Mu shook his head. "My mother had a child when she was young, but the child passed away. Later, my father passed too, and since then, she hasn’t been in a good mental state. It has gotten worse over the past two years."
Not knowing what to say, Su Wan could only tell Li Mu that if he needed to go back to take care of his mother, he could ask her for leave at any time.
After all, she was still the captain of the Ninth Squad.
Besides the three of them, the remaining six began to actively prepare for the Probationary Commander exam.
The first hurdle was a theoretical knowledge exam, which included subjects they had studied at the military academy, as well as some virtual practice questions to test their on-the-spot reactions to certain situations.
Su Wan didn’t take the situation lightly. The group helped each other out, searching for materials and sharing notes for review.
When it came to lunchtime, they were all engrossed in their studies when suddenly Lin Yu’s computer pinged with a notification. He didn’t notice and accidentally hit the loudspeaker button.
From Lin Yu’s computer came a gentle voice, "Ayú, I made lunch for you with my own hands. I’m at the entrance of the military department right now. I can’t come in, can you come out to meet me?"
