I’ve seen the shaless.
But I’ve never seen soone with such high status and capability also be so shaless!
Yet, the two sides had just cooperated and secured a beautiful victory. Gu Jue and his people were very clear that if they could cooperate with the Insect Clan led by the Insect God, they wouldn’t have to worry about war for the next several decades.
A win-win situation.
"Alright," Gu Jue finally agreed to the other party’s strange request.
Su Wan pursed her lips, looking at the Insect God unfavorably.
Who knows what that insect is plotting!
As there were still so follow-up matters of cooperation to discuss, Gu Jue took the Insect God to the Imperial Palace first, while Su Wan went ho.
Hosting the Insect God should be of the highest standard, but the thought of his ulterior motives made Su Wan reluctant to prepare too lavish a feast.
By the ti Su Wan was holding a gleaming kitchen knife, pondering issues while chopping vegetables with a clang, a ssage from Gu Jue ca.
Gu Jue: Wanwan, you seem to hold quite so hostility towards the Insect God?
Su Wan: ...Don’t you feel it’s very strange that he suddenly wants to stay at our house?
Gu Jue: I also find it very strange, and you were paying close attention to him just now.
Su Wan looked at the ssage sent by Commander Gu and was slightly startled, but she reacted after only a few seconds.
Ajue couldn’t possibly think she had so kind of designs on that Insect God, could he?
Sheesh, this man.
But even with the truth on her lips, Su Wan said nothing. Who knows if Commander Gu would explode if he knew that the Insect God was interested in Xiaoyan?
In the end, Su Wan said: I suspect his motives aren’t pure, and that even his alliance with us serves so hidden purpose, so I want to observe him up close.
Su Wan: Of course, his combat power is very high, so you must be there too. If he really has malicious intentions, it’s better for you to be present because I can’t beat him.
Gu Jue didn’t really believe his wife’s words, but he never went against them either.
Putting down his light brain, he looked up at the Insect God sitting beside him, still feeling that this person was very suspicious!
When Gu Yan and her brother Gu Yu ca ho from school, they were stunned to see their mother had prepared a whole table of dishes.
"Mom, do we have guests today?"
"Hmm," Su Wan replied with a complex mood, looking at her daughter’s bright eyes, she paused before saying, "It’s Lord Insect God. He should be arriving soon with your father and your big brother."
Gu Yan: !!!!!
Gu Yan knew that Bai Li had arrived on Landis Star because he ntioned having so official business, so she didn’t think much of it.
Usually, he would visit her secretly, in the dead of night.
Gu Yan thought this ti would be the sa.
As for coming through the front gate and formally eting her parents... Gu Yan had never considered such a scenario!
Seeing her daughter trying to suppress the excitent in her eyes and her slightly reddened ears, Su Wan couldn’t help but sigh softly.
She said, "Xiaoyan, co help mom set the dishes?"
Gu Yan: "Ok, mom!"
Half an hour later, Bai Li and the five mbers of the Gu Family sat around the dining table. This was his first ti appearing formally before the Gu family.
The delicious dishes were emitting soothing aromas, yet the atmosphere at the dining table was very odd.
The male host at the head of the table, Gu Jue, still bore a cool and handso face. He never entertained outsiders at ho, but who could have imagined that Lord Insect God would be so shaless?
Not to ntion... he always felt that the Insect God harbored ill intentions!
Gu Yu was the most baffled.
Why on earth would the Insect God pay their family a visit out of the blue? If it was for official business, wouldn’t it be more appropriate to go directly to the Imperial Palace?
Since Gu Chen was not yet married, the Imperial Palace effectively served as his own vast office.
As for Gu Yan... she was extrely nervous but, at the sa ti, quite thrilled.
Because Brother Little Mushroom had finally t her family mbers properly,— oh, not for official reasons, as Brother Little Mushroom had recently fought alongside her father in battle if it were for official business.
But Gu Yan’s palms were still damp with slight sweat.
For so reason, she always felt a bit anxious, just like the tis when Brother Little Mushroom secretly visited her and she worried about being discovered by her parents.
While lost in thought, Gu Yan carefully turned her head to look at her mother, only to find her mother already looking at her!
Gu Yan: !!!!!!!!
Su Wan: "Xiaoyan, if you’re feeling unwell, you can go back to your room to rest. I’ll have Vermilion Bird bring your al there."
Having said that, she turned to Gu Yu, "Xiaoyu, if you need to review experintal docunts, you can also eat in your room."
Gu Yu did not enjoy the atmosphere during the al at all. He actually liked having als with his family; the ti spent with them was just as important to him as conducting experints.
But now, with an expressionless Insect God at the dining table, it was truly appetite-killing.
After hearing his mother’s words, he felt like he had been granted amnesty and imdiately pulled his sister, who was clearly out of sorts, to her feet. "Xiaoyan, let’s go. They’re about to discuss official business; it might not be appropriate for us to be here."
Gu Yan, still bewildered, allowed her brother to lead her away.
On instinct, she turned her head back, only to et Bai Li’s gaze.
Gu Yan felt as if she could see a hint of lancholy in his eyes.
Once Gu Yan and Gu Yu had left the dining table, the atmosphere turned... even more oppressive.
The four remaining people quietly and quickly finished the sumptuous dinner, and as they put down their chopsticks, Gu Jue was the first to speak, "What’s the matter, is the al not to the esteed Lord Insect God’s liking?"
It was starting—it was starting. Commander Gu had been bottling up his discontent all day, and now it was beginning to spill out!
Although he wasn’t sure whether the Insect God had other motives regarding his wife, Commander Gu was certain that the Insect had ulterior motives towards their family!
If not, why didn’t he stay in the perfectly good Imperial Palace instead of coming to their house?
Gu Chen had no idea what had happened earlier in the military departnt, but he did know that the few traitors were as if expelled from their race by the Insect God.
He quietly took a towel and wiped his hands, which weren’t actually dirty.
Bai Li raised his head to look at the family of three.
He always knew that dealing with the Gu Family was no easy task.
Especially the three in front of him.
The als Su Wan cooked were delicious. After all, Bai Li had appeared by Gu Yan’s side for years and had often enjoyed Su Wan’s cooking.
He quietly said, "The al prepared by Commander Su is very tasty."
This complint was too undramatic, and Commander Gu was not satisfied, but he did not continue on the topic. Instead, he said, "It’s late now. I’ll have White Tiger take you to the guest room to rest. Tomorrow, I will arrange for soone to give you a tour of Landis Star."
Neither Gu Jue nor Su Wan wanted to accompany the uninvited Insect God on a tour of Landis Star, and as for Gu Chen, there was even less need—after all, he was the king of Landis Star.
Gu Jue had already found the best candidate for the job, and that was Gu Zilan, who had been rather idle of late.
