Chapter 536: Chapter 536 Full of Malice
This was the Insect God’s first visit here, and Xiaoyan warmly invited him to wander around the house, introducing him to her new home, her own room.
However, because Gu Jue’s household AI was highly advanced with an extremely sophisticated security system, and smart little Gu Yu was at home, the Insect God reverted to his Little Mushroom form and was held in Xiaoyan’s arms.
At this time, Commander Gu was sitting in the conference room, facing representatives from the Universe Alliance, Odlande and Ji Rui.
Odlande and Ji Rui were earnestly explaining how in the midst of the Insectoids, there was a mysterious and powerful youth, and according to them, this youth was incredibly formidable. Even Doris, that woman, wouldn’t dare to breathe heavily in front of him.
Little did Gu Jue know that the mysterious youth they were discussing was at his house right now!
He remained expressionless, sipping on the coffee by his hand.
It was Gu Zilan who asked, "Have you recently been attacked by the Insectoids?"
Odlande was startled, looking towards Ji Rui, who nodded calmly, "Yes, but it wasn’t serious, just some passing starships. We came here to warn Landis Star specifically because it was Commander Gu’s Royal Star Fleet that annihilated the main force of the Insectoid Base Star."
"Exactly, exactly, the enemy is very likely to seek revenge on Landis Star! So, we rushed to warn you!"
The two men spoke with sincere urgency, especially Ji Rui, who lied with all the conviction of speaking the truth.
But neither Gu Jue nor Gu Zilan believed their words.
Of course, Gu Zilan didn’t call them out on the spot. Being a man of deep schemes, he exchanged pleasantries and without committing to anything or rejecting them outright, had someone see the two men out.
If he didn’t rush to send these two away soon, Gu Zilan worried he might end up having someone keep them here permanently... Didn’t he see the chilling glint in Uncle Gu Jue’s eyes?
The armrests of the chair he was seated in were covered with frost.
The two men before them definitely had a hand in the previous plot to harm Xiaochen.
And now, since they had not yet decided to declare an outright war against the Universe Alliance, they temporarily couldn’t take these men’s lives.
Once the two had left, Gu Zilan said, "Uncle, don’t rush, let their heads stay attached to their bodies a bit longer. But what’s your take on what they said about the Insectoids?"
The icy chill in the room diminished slightly.
Gu Jue spoke with indifferent tone, "Before, when they were attacking our Wasted Star, they had already allied with Doris. Now that they’ve come to us again, there are a few possibilities."
"They could be deliberately deceiving us to enter the trap they’ve set with the Insectoids, with the definite aim to harm us."
"Another possibility is that they’ve had a fallout with the Insectoids, or rather, they’ve become wary of them and are planning to use us once again to deal with the Insectoids. They want us and the Insectoids to wear each other down, while they wait to reap the benefits."
But, no matter which possibility it was, both were filled with malice towards Landis Star.
Gu Zilan, stroking his chin, said, "Uncle, I’ll investigate the actual situation with the Insectoids. Since we had previous conflicts with them, if they really have grown stronger, they could pose a threat to us."
Gu Jue thought about the Insect Nest which was continuously spawning Insectoids and Insect Beasts, and nodded his head.
If that Insect Nest appeared in their universe... this place would probably be taken over by the Insectoids, right?
If such a situation were to occur, it indeed would be quite troublesome.
Only by becoming the king of the entire universe could one be fearless of any danger that might harm those they wish to protect!
The Universe Alliance, Gu Jue didn’t take them seriously. That motley crew wouldn’t last long.
And that Insectoid youth they spoke of...
Commander’s residence.
Today, Xiaoyan was truly happy. She even took out all the delicious food her mom had made for her from the fridge and invited Little Mushroom over to eat together.
Fortunately, at this time, Little Gu Yu was asleep in his own room, and the Insect God had temporarily blocked the household robot signals in Xiaoyan’s room.
Although he could have blocked all the signals in the Commander’s residence, doing so would have alerted Gu Jue.
The Insect God didn’t want to disturb Xiaoyan’s parents because they would worry about her.
He just wanted to come and see Xiaoyan, to keep her company.
Finally, the little girl snuggled up in his arms and fell asleep. The Insect God gently placed her on the soft bed, tucked her in, then turned and left.
The air suddenly began to distort, and the Insect God’s figure was no longer in Xiaoyan’s room. At the same time, the signal block on the household robot in Xiaoyan’s room was lifted.
Almost at the same moment, Su Wan had just returned home on her flyer. She sensed something as her flyer was still landing on the pad, not yet stabilized, and Su Wan instantly teleported back into her home.
Both children were there, already asleep.
Everything was very peaceful and tranquil, with no accidents.
Su Wan said to Vermilion Bird, "Vermilion Bird, can you check the home’s security system to see if there’s anything suspicious?"
"Yes!"
You can’t blame Su Wan for being overly cautious, especially since not long ago, her eldest son Xiaochen was almost in trouble. Although the home’s security system was top-notch and she was only leaving the two kids at home for a few hours, Su Wan was still worried.
Vermilion Bird meticulously pulled up the video from the time period after Su Wan had left. The two children had been playing by the pool initially, then Little Gu Yu took Xiaoyan back to her room.
The little girl played by herself in her room for a while, then wandered out, walked around everywhere, and eventually went to the kitchen fridge to grab some tasty cupcakes and fruits before heading back to her room.
After that, Little Gu Yu, tired from playing, wanted to go to sleep, but first he went to his sister’s room, confirmed that she was there eating and playing by herself, and then he returned to his own room to rest.
Xiaoyan herself played for a while, then later, tired out, lay down on her bed and fell asleep.
Vermilion Bird told Su Wan, "There are no anomalies."
Su Wan nodded her head, hoping that she had been overthinking things due to fatigue lately.
Because she had passed the Probationary Commander exam, all Starship Fleets had to be reorganized, and for the time being, Su Wan had stepped down from her role as the leader of her small team.
Only she and Pandora had passed the Probationary Commander exam this time.
Sheng An was unlucky; her final exam opponent was Pandora, and the two had contrasting styles—one adopting a conservative major magic, and the other brutally dispatching foes. Unfortunately, Pandora drew the first attack.
However, it wasn’t that Sheng An had no chance; her performance during the exam was also quite impressive.
An exam like the Probationary Commander would become a regular event; there would be opportunities in future exams for her.
After Su Wan and Pandora left Squad Nine, Sheng An stayed with Squad Nine and became its leader.
As Su Wan found herself with some free time today, she thought about it and decided to do a live cooking show.
The Food God had not done a live cooking show for a long time.
