Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 671: Will He Betray Them in the End?

Chapter 671: Chapter 671: Will He Betray Them in the End?

Lina was one of the early-birthed Insectoids in the Demon Cave; she was born around the time Gu Jue and Su Wan were trapped there.

Therefore, she had had a brief encounter with Su Wan.

She said calmly, "I haven’t received any orders from the Commander to attack, so those from the Insect Clan outside might not be from our group."

Ji Mu said gloomily, "But why is everyone on the interstellar network cursing us now?"

The other students nearby also asked, "Teacher, what should we do?"

Lina: "You all stay here and wait for Commander Xi Le’s response."

Ji Mu hesitated, "But, will the people from Empire University make things difficult for us?"

Lina: "I’ll contact Su Wan."

The higher-ups on Landis Star surely knew what was going on and would not make things difficult for these exchange students and teachers.

But, that wasn’t necessarily true for the general public on Landis Star.

And Lina did not want to take action against the ordinary citizens of Landis Star either.

On Su Wan’s end, she had just defeated the first wave of attackers. Honestly, she admired the other party for managing to penetrate the multiple strong and tight layers of security on Landis Star and make it to the main star.

There were more than twenty people.

Most of these people were killed on the spot, and the few remaining were seriously injured and had been captured.

Yet Su Wan felt that this would not be the end of it.

Lina’s communication came through at this moment.

Hearing this, Su Wan said, "I’m sorry that you’ve been affected. Although it’s still uncertain, I don’t think the Insect God would unilaterally break our alliance, not to mention that my husband is currently fighting side by side with him."

Lina quickly said, "Our years of alliance and cooperation will definitely not be nullified so easily! Moreover, Lord Insect God has always valued Landis Star, which is why we were allowed to bring our excellent youths over as exchange students. There can’t be a plot. If there were, it would mean sacrificing all these talented youths!"

Su Wan: "Yes, don’t worry. Until there is a solid outcome, I’ll ensure someone protects you."

Lina fell silent for a while, then said, "Alright, I’m here with the children in my rest apartment now."

"Okay."

Would the Insect God truly betray them?

Su Wan was actually somewhat uncertain at the moment, especially regarding how, if indeed it were Freya’s group, they managed to infiltrate the main Landis Star.

Despite her doubts, Su Wan remained calm, and she called the president of Empire University, who was also her stepfather, Gu Lei.

Gu Lei: "Xiaowan, Xiaoyan and Xiaoyu were not at the school when the attack happened!"

Su Wan: "Uncle Gu Lei, don’t worry. The kids were on their way, and I had them go straight home. Is the school not in a panic?"

"No one has broken in yet, but those Insectoid exchange students..."

"Uncle Lei, that’s actually what I wanted to discuss with you. For the time being, keep them protected, but also under watch."

"Xiaowan, are you suggesting..."

"No, it’s not certain yet, just suspicion. But their safety must be prioritized, given the heated emotions of the citizens on the interstellar network."

"Understood!"

Gu Lei did not doubt Su Wan’s words, and he realized that while the students’ emotions had not yet fully escalated, if they did and conflict ensued, it would be beyond rectification!

Gu Lei immediately went to contact Lina, while outside in the midst of battle, Gu Jue and others also received news that the main star of Landis Star had been attacked.

They had just concluded a phase of the assault, and it could be said that they almost had victory in their grasp.

Commander Xi Le happened to be walking beside Gu Jue, and in an instant, he felt the temperature around them drop!

He cautiously glanced at Gu Jue, "Commander Gu, what’s wrong?"

Gu Jue half-lowered his eyes, "The Insectoids attacked the main star of Landis, and among the captives, there are people from your planet."

Commander Xi Le’s eyes widened in shock, "That’s impossible! Our people are either fighting or protecting their own planet. How could they attack Landis Star? We have a friendly relationship!"

With a tap of his hand, Gu Jue brought up a message on the virtual screen from Gu Chen, showing that the captured Insectoids were indeed formerly under Xi Le’s command.

It was because of this that Landis Star had been off guard, allowing them to infiltrate successfully.

And launch this attack.

Xi Le was rendered speechless, his emotions so intense that the corners of his mouth began to twitch uncontrollably.

"Commander Gu, we really didn’t! These people..."

Just then, a streak of silver light flashed by, and a figure with long silver hair, dressed in a crisp white uniform, Bai Li, slowly emerged from the silver light.

He spoke softly, "These traitors, they were turned by Freya, but... I will punish them immediately."

Gu Jue locked his gaze onto Bai Li’s eyes.

Bai Li continued slowly, "I apologize for the damage caused to the native star of Landis, so this time, I will personally deal with those few."

The Insect God is the highest existence within the Insect Clan.

Xi Le was but a spokesperson, a figurehead whose every action was in obedience to the Insect God.

It was because of the Insect God that their clan had maintained a friendly relationship with Landis Star for over a decade.

Gu Jue stated in a measured tone, "They haven’t caused any significant damage and have been captured by our people. So next, we must quickly resolve this matter and take care of the remaining individuals. You will come back with me to deal with your people."

Bai Li nodded, "Good."

After the meeting concluded, Bai Li turned and returned to his own warship, with Xi Le following behind, expressing his remorse, "My Lord, I failed in my duties, I didn’t manage them well!"

Gently caressing his light brain, Bai Li spoke softly, "It’s not your fault, for too long I haven’t connected with all of your souls, allowing some to forget my existence."

Xi Le’s gaze instantly sharpened!

In an Insect Clan, there would be at least one Insect Queen, like the previous Doris.

Of course, Doris had seized the original Insect Queen’s body and skills, but since she then did everything an Insect Queen would do, Xi Le and the other Insectoids still followed her.

However, not every Insect Clan has an Insect God.

Because the Insect God possesses special abilities far more powerful than those of the Insect Queen, and what these abilities are, many still do not know to this day.

Xi Le had never seen them.

He wondered if Freya knew...

Xi Le’s lips quivered even more violently, "Connect souls?"

"Yes, but there’s no rush right now. We’ll talk about it after we finish this last fight with the warriors of Landis Star."

"Yes!"
