Su Wan: "Ajue, don’t worry about , I have beco stronger than before. Moreover, Lucifer himself can’t get close to , his tentacle incarnation’s combat effectiveness is discounted, and he can’t hurt ."
"I know."
Gu Jue recalled the scene in the Virtual Hunting Ground today and nodded with satisfaction, "My Wanwan is the most formidable."
Blushing slightly, Su Wan was flattered by the praise from Commander Gu.
Gu Jue looked at his petite wife with rosy cheeks on the other end of the projection.
She seed to have just taken a bath, her long hair draped loosely, wearing the Empire University student’s standard combat uniform.
The black combat uniform accentuated her lovely figure.
Gu Jue: "Wanwan, being my wife, you might still face so dangers in the future."
Su Wan: "Ajue, I know, even dangers greater than today, but Ajue, I’m not afraid."
"I’m not the type to be content staying at ho, and whatever I want to do, you have always supported ."
"I feel... this is very good, very happy."
The young couple, their eyes t across the vast distance.
The atmosphere was simply too good.
If it weren’t for the great distance apart.
Perhaps by now, Commander Gu would have fiercely pulled her into his embrace!
Wanwan has indeed grown.
But Gu Jue said, "In a few days, when your final match arrives, I will co over."
Su Wan: "If you can co, that would be great. But you should prioritize your official duties, and don’t worry, after Lucifer’s turmoil, losing several legs, he probably won’t appear in the finals."
Gu Jue nodded.
Catching Lucifer might lead to other dangers.
And real safety lies in allowing his delicate wife to grow rapidly.
Therefore, Gu Jue didn’t suggest that Su Wan give up the competition and co back quickly.
When the call ended, Su Wan also breathed a sigh of relief.
If Gu Jue had actually forcefully asked her to give up the competition and return, she didn’t know what she would do.
Fortunately, that did not happen.
This proved that this man knew her very well!

Although the Virtual Hunting Ground was interrupted, the previous scores still stood.
Empire University was still in first place, Yuanyi University in second, Davis University in third, and Siren University in fourth.
Prys University, which had bad luck, ended up at the bottom.
Because many children’s spiritual power was damaged.
So in the following days, they focused on recuperating.
Su Wan did not relax her training.
And the day before the finals, during her routine call with Gu Jue, she learned so news.
Sothing had happened at the Su Family restaurant.
Custors who ate at the Su Family restaurant died.
Su Wan: "Impossible! All the branches of the Su Family restaurant now are following the rules I set, strictly scrutinized, there can’t be any hygiene issues!"
Gu Jue: "I’ve sent Eric to investigate. The few branches where the incidents happened are temporarily closed, the situation hasn’t escalated, you don’t need to worry."
Su Wan: "I know, the most important thing for now is to focus on the competition. But Ajue, this is definitely soone targeting the Su Family restaurant!"
With Gu Jue around, Su Wan could be reassured, but she couldn’t help worrying.
To fra the Su Family restaurant, the culprit didn’t care about causing deaths.
How deep was their hatred?
Now that Su Wan was the manager of the Su Family restaurant.
Did that an the target was her?
I don’t know how Grandpa is doing.
**
In the third district, at the Su Family villa.
The elderly patriarch of the Su Family had been fraught with worry ever since a life had been lost in the family restaurant.
His hair and beard had gone white.
He set down the light-computer, sighing deeply.
ira, dressed in a beige house robe, carried in a tray of flower tea and placed it on the table.
She reached out and massaged the old man’s shoulders. "What’s the matter, still worried about the restaurant incident?"
Su Zhen: "Yes, although Commander Gu has sent people to investigate, deep down, I just can’t find any peace of mind. When I was young, I encountered a similar incident. It was a person sent by a business rival who, suffering from a terminal illness and not long for this world, falsely claid the incident occurred in our restaurant."
"After a thorough investigation, our Su Family restaurant was able to continue operating."
ira spoke gently, "This ti, with Commander Gu on the case, everything will surely be cleared up. Don’t worry."
Su Zhen took the tea and had a sip.
He sighed, "Over the years, the Su Family restaurant has solidified its position in the industry, and we no longer face malicious competition. I suspect that this ti, the target might be Xiaowan."
ira: "Because of Xiaowan, the earnings of the Su Family restaurant have increased manifold in the past few years. And thanks to Commander Gu, in recent years, our restaurant has hardly seen anyone causing trouble without reason."
"With so issues, when you enjoy the benefits they bring, you must be ntally prepared for the negative repercussions that may follow."
After hearing this, Su Zhen fell into deep thought.
ira refilled the old man’s tea bowl, smiling as she said, "Regardless, Xiaowan is an heir who is even more capable than you were in your youth. Rest assured, any unpleasantness will eventually pass."
Su Zhen, unconvincingly, "Where am I not as good as Xiaowan? When I was young, I started from scratch, and I was quite impressive. You just didn’t see it..."
ira couldn’t help but gently smile at this.
Listening to his tales of his youthful bravery.
Then ira said apologetically, "I’m sorry I didn’t et you earlier; then, I could’ve witnessed your self-made success, and maybe, I could’ve lent you a hand."
Caught off guard by ira’s words, Su Zhen was montarily at a loss.
He said sheepishly, "Actually, it’s not too late for us to be together now."
After chatting with his wife ira, Su Zhen looked at the ssages from his son Su Zhen on the light-computer.
Su Zhen: Dad, I saw the news about the family restaurant! Are you okay?
Su Zhen: It must be Wanwan who has offended soone; now there’s soone out for revenge, implicating our restaurant!
Su Zhen: Dad, if you just announce now that Wanwan is no longer the heir to our family restaurant, I’m sure the other party will back off!
Su Zhen looked at the ssages with disdain.
Then, he simply deleted them all!

The final contest of the joint examination involving five schools began.
Su Wan had had no chance to inquire about the Queen from the people of rmaid Planet.
Mainly due to Lan Rui.
The rfolk from Siren University would take a detour upon seeing Su Wan, as if she were so kind of monster with three heads and six arms.
And now, as the students from the five schools had just entered the examination venue, those from Siren University imdiately headed west.
Sheng An said, "There’s a sea over that way."
The final challenge was to find a dicine that could save humanity.
After the students from the five schools entered through the main gate, they could choose different areas to conduct their search.
This abandoned city was ho to Insect Beasts as well.
But unlike the previous Virtual Hunting Ground,
The Insect Beasts here were real mbers of the Insect Clan.
