Chapter 653 - 5: Gu Ningxuan’s Otherworldly Travels (Part 5)

For the next two days, Gu Ningxuan was constantly under surveillance and questioning. He needed to answer all sorts of tricky and excessive questions, mostly about the Insect Race, with a few personal inquiries added by the gossiping researchers.

Like the names of the two kids, their age, interests, whether they have any birthmarks... Gu Ningxuan was so frustrated he nearly spat blood. Who could tell him what the kids had to do with any of this? Aside from them, it even involved Su Jiameng...

Through conversations with the interrogators, Gu Ningxuan learned about this world... or rather, he discovered what kind of person the real Miss Su was and the circumstances leading to her death.

After the last telekinesis outburst, hearing this news again, aside from a sharp pain, his emotions weren’t as volatile. He felt fortunate to have a once-in-a-lifetime Su Jiameng, yet regretted that she and their future family on Qiming Star were lost in this world...

Since the Gu Ningxuan of this world was a Marshal, people usually addressed him using titles like "Marshal Gu," "Marshal," "Sir," etc., instead of his actual name, conveniently solving the issue of how to call him.

"I wonder what kind of person Mrs. Gu is? Earlier when... ahem, viewing that memory, I found her personality vastly different from Miss Su here, and that dazzling skill set of hers—I didn’t expect even Eldest Young Master Gu wasn’t her match."

It was more like chatting with incidental questions than a formal interrogation. Thanks to these people, Gu Ningxuan realized he had actually met his legendary brothers, Gu Ningzhi and Gu Er... more than once!

But whenever Gu Ningzhi met with him, he never introduced himself or let others mention his name. Thus, Gu San was always left in the dark. As for his eldest brother, Gu Ningyi, in that chaotic battle at the Mecha Fighting Arena, he was kicked down from high altitude by his own Xiao Meng and blasted to death... Gu Ningxuan strangely felt a sense of satisfaction when recollecting that scene...

Regarding the title of Mrs. Gu, Gu Ningxuan felt quite pleased and could calmly deal with references to the memory peeking incident, "Xiao Meng, she is an outstanding woman who makes one want to look up to her. She’s firm in her personality, extraordinary in perseverance, always very clear about her path or the road she wants to travel, never wavering. If she were to join the Military Department, she’d definitely be an exceptional Alliance Warrior... moreover, she’s a very gentle mother, wonderful to the kids..."

Over these brief two days of understanding, those involved in the questioning realized that the person before them contrasted starkly in personality with the cold Marshal Gu, feeling considerably more approachable rather than distant.

Of course... despite their seemingly different personalities, essentially, they were cut from the same cloth. This was clear to them as well.

"What do the two little young masters look like?" With most critical questions answered and information complete, it was now gossip time. In this world, Marshal Gu remains single so far, but look at the others, having two cute boys already, and a rational, strong wife—truly the epitome of life’s winners!

Now freed from surveillance, Gu Ningxuan had gained his liberty. With his life safety ensured, he didn’t mind letting others feel a tinge of envy, jealousy, and hatred... A bunch of old bachelors could never comprehend the pride of having buns in the cradle.

Baby photos instantly killed with cuteness. The sudden arrival of the Insect Race shattered their peaceful lives instantly. Having experienced the departure of loved ones and the death of comrades, these people understood the value far more than before.

There was exceptional enthusiasm over the two kids’ photos... Perhaps they were trying to find a bit of resemblance to the icy Marshal Gu on the kids’ faces? So as to satisfy their quirky amusement?

Gu Ningxuan emerged from the heavily guarded place to find someone standing at the door... It was him? What’s he doing here waiting? Could he be waiting for me? Gu Ningxuan wondered, seeing the person already turning around.

A tough battle must have occurred over the past two days. The other’s arm was wrapped in thick bandages, with faint traces of blood seeping through.

"Let’s go, stop lingering here." Marshal Gu glanced at the familiar face, then lifted a hand to press down the brim of his hat. Gu Ningxuan wasn’t aware of how bad things were here, but the other’s complexion was certainly worse compared to two days ago.

"You’re injured? Seems quite serious..." Gu Ningxuan stepped forward, noticing that the person’s arm movement was somewhat sluggish. He knew well how advanced Future Interstellar medicine was, so what kind of injury couldn’t be restored immediately? It can only mean the injury was too severe, or the wound carried something exotic, like some special Insect Race element?

"Just a minor wound, I’ve gotten used to it." Marshal Gu strode forward; the sky was quite dim with heavy clouds overhead, pressing down heavily, affecting people’s moods. It seemed it was about to rain, "Soon, you’ll be accustomed to it too..."

Gu Ningxuan didn’t argue, realizing that he hadn’t found a way back, which meant he’d stay here for a while. If remaining here, he couldn’t just watch the war unfold without contributing... going into battle was inevitable.

"Where to now?" Gu Ningxuan glanced around, it was his first time seeing the surrounding environment, curiosity stoked, "Back to your place?"

"No... these two days, after discussing with some people, we’re planning to launch a secret plan..." Marshal Gu’s voice was extremely indifferent, yet it chilled Gu Ningxuan, "If telekinesis is the key to defeating the Insect Race... then any sacrifice is permissible... and there are far more volunteers willing to bet on this than I imagined..."
