Chapter 649 - 3: Gu Ningxuan’s Otherworldly Travels (Part 3)

People age and don’t know how long they can live amidst the Insect Race’s devastation; naturally, they have higher hopes for their grandchildren. Unfortunately, none of his three sons are willing to fulfill his wishes. Whenever this topic arises, the three rascals always give excuses, even suggesting he have another child while he’s still young and raise the son as a grandson...

"Gu Huaixi? Gu Huaifeng? These names seem... to hold high expectations." Gu Ningzhi noticed the peculiarity in the names because every Gu Family child chooses to honor their ancestors, avoiding the characters "Xi" and "Feng."

"Due to some misunderstandings at the time, I didn’t recognize that they were my children, thinking that since they weren’t Gu Family descendants, it didn’t matter if those two characters were used. It’s also my expectation as an elder." Even though Gu Ningxuan knew the truth, he never thought about asking the two children to change their names. This was his hope, wishing the two children longevity and prowess on the battlefield like the two Gu Family ancestors!

"It seems there’s quite a bit of complexity here." Gu Ningzhi added, "You should now... have difficulty finding them."

Gu Ningxuan’s expression darkened; he felt bewildered. At first, he thought he had arrived in a world twenty years later, but seeing another "Gu Ningxuan" here dispelled that idea. He believes the truth will soon be revealed.

"I know... but as long as I’m alive, I want to return to their side, the three of them. Previously, I didn’t have those memories, my shortcomings were involuntary, but now, I mustn’t act thus!" Gu Ningxuan persisted, "It’s my turn to ask questions now. I want to ask, do any of you remember a family with the surname Su on Qiming Star, where Su Yuan had an illegitimate younger brother..."

Before Gu Ningxuan could finish, Gu Qidong frowned displeased, saying, "Su Changdao? Why did you suddenly mention this person?"

Su Changdao’s encouragement for his daughter to seduce others and ruin the life of Gu Ningxuan’s friend, Dongshou Yi, is no secret in their circle. Gu Qidong didn’t understand why this young man named Gu Ningxuan suddenly brought up an irrelevant person.

"Su Changdao... is Xiao Meng’s father..." Gu Ningxuan said unhurriedly, "I just want to ask, in your impression, did this man ever do something disgraceful, like... setting traps at a party?"

Gu Ningzhi suddenly understood, his expression extremely odd but ultimately returning to normal, reluctantly saying, "Su Changdao, this scoundrel, always liked to engage in such underhanded dealings and did so once. And because of that party, Dongshou Yi... I think you might know this person, he was ’Gu Ningxuan’s’ close friend... Dongshou Yi had an unclear relationship with Su Changdao’s eldest daughter, which caused quite a stir, directly ruining Dongshou Yi’s later life, leaving him despondent, only wanting to be a wealthy idle person."

Gu Ningzhi always knew how regretful his brother was about Dongshou Yi’s fall, matching how much he hated this man, Su Changdao. Thus, despite Su Changdao being just an insignificant figure, this father and son remember him.

"Yi... and Su Qinwu?" Gu Ningxuan clenched his fist secretly, striving to stay calm as the truth gradually unfolded. Yet he felt timid... fearful that this world lacked the person he hoped to see, "Then, Miss Su, Su Jiameng, what came of her later? Did she... join the Alliance Military Department, or..."

"Miss Su joined the Alliance Military Department? What for? Doing laundry or cleaning?" Gu Ningzhi now confidently confirmed his suspicion, realizing the ’Xiao Meng’ mentioned by Gu Ningxuan was none other than Su Changdao’s third daughter!

That’s why he’s so anxious to inquire about her. Just that Gu Ningzhi didn’t expect him to ask like this... That Su Jiameng woman, lively and cheerful yet delicate, couldn’t possibly enter the Military Department and couldn’t even manage laundry or cleaning! Besides, he had an even bolder hypothesis...

"I think, weren’t you harmed by Su Changdao?" Gu Ningzhi spoke teasingly, his voice filled with unspeakable mockery, "Or in your world, wasn’t the unfortunate one at the party Dongshou Yi, but you... and that Miss Su?"

At this instant, Gu Ningxuan’s mind was a chaotic mess, the aftereffects of previous prolonged suffocation not entirely withdrawn, now surging over him, nearly causing him to faint. He barely stood firm, coldly saying, "Xiao Meng’s body is Miss Su’s, but she isn’t the Su Jiameng you think... At least she won’t be someone you can rival."

Gu Ningzhi found this probably the funniest thing he had ever heard, how could he not defeat a delicate young lady like Miss Su? Yet... the information from Gu Ningxuan’s words was rather substantial. The body belongs to Miss Su...

On the other hand, is Xiao Meng’s core actually someone else? Hmm... Should he tell this poor "third brother" that Su Jiameng was already pushed into the mouth of the Insect Race by her elder sister Su Qinwu? And that Su Qinwu had also died?

After contemplating, Gu Ningzhi wickedly decided to speak the truth, "Though I don’t know how things unfolded on your side, here... I vaguely recall Su Qinwu having a son with Dongshou Yi, Su Qinwu first pushed her son into the mouth of the Insect Race to save herself. Then Su Qinwu was secluded, later seeking revenge, she pushed her third sister, the Su Jiameng into the mouth of the Adhesive Devouring Worm, devoured... Meaning here, Miss Su is merely a frail being without any self-defense capacity..."

Before Gu Ningzhi could finish speaking, Gu Qidong swiftly pulled him from the room, "Old man, what happened?"

As the words just left his mouth, an indescribable oppressive force erupted from the previous room, rapidly spreading in all directions, visible air wave traces fluctuating overhead. Anyone with spiritual power felt as if a boulder was suppressing their heart, those with slightly weaker spiritual power even forcefully fainted under this uncontrolled violent energy’s disturbance...
