Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 781 Gu Yan in Trouble

Jiang Huai’s brow twitched, and he immediately said, "Gu Yu, you really can’t joke about that. Besides, in terms of combat power, I can’t beat Ji Mu."

"Don’t be nervous, I was just saying," Gu Yu replied.

"..."

The men of the Gu Family are all tough nuts to crack.

Even though the Gu Yu in front of him didn’t compare to his brother Gu Chen, Jiang Huai still dared not underestimate him.

Having been interrupted, Gu Yan no longer felt as embarrassed. She said, "Jiang Huai, thank you very much for your affection. If there really is a problem between Bai Li and me, I will try to resolve the issue. Of course, if it can’t be resolved, then I will consider separating from him."

"But before that, it would be impossible for me to agree to be with you, as that wouldn’t be fair to you," she added.

Jiang Huai hurriedly said, "But I don’t care!"

"I’m sorry, I have my own bottom line, and besides, I’ve been very confused lately. I absolutely cannot agree to be with you under these circumstances," Gu Yan apologetically said to Jiang Huai. Then she turned around and spoke to her older brother, Gu Yu, "Big brother, you said you would take me to get those test results, let’s go."

"Okay," he responded.

Jiang Huai stood still, watching the siblings walk away.

Although he didn’t look back, as a Beastman with keen senses, Gu Yu whispered to his sister, "Xiaoyan, Jiang Huai is still watching us."

"But I can’t help it, I can’t promise anyone else while things with Bai Li haven’t ended. Big brother, let’s not talk about this anymore, did you have something important to tell me just now?" she asked.

"Xiaoyan, mother received a message that someone intends to harm you. So for the next day, I will be by your side every step of the way," Gu Yu told her.

Gu Yu had slightly altered what their mother had said, but overall, it wasn’t incorrect.

Gu Yan was taken aback.

"I haven’t offended anyone, have I?"

"Xiaoyan, sometimes, you don’t need to have offended someone to be in danger. The other party might not necessarily want to harm you to cause you danger. How should I put it, victory is within our grasp now; it’s always good to be cautious and vigilant," he explained.

Gu Yan nodded seriously.

She firmly believed that no matter when, her mother would never harm her!

For the rest of the day, the siblings were inseparable. This made Jiang Huai very frustrated. Seeing that Gu Chen would be back soon and the Insect God was coming, it might become even more difficult for him to take action!

Meanwhile, Gu Yan was searching for information in the library. Her brain-computer flashed—it was a message from Bai Li.

Gu Yan thought for a moment and replied to him: Let’s have a good talk when you come back from the war.

This was the first message Gu Yan had sent to Bai Li in days.

Lord Insect God sat there, frowning at the message.

After a long time without a reply, the first message was this... The tone seemed to imply a breakup.

When Gu Chen walked in, he saw Bai Li with a frown. "Bai Li, in about three more hours, we should arrive at the Landis Star. Why do you still look so troubled?" he asked.

"Didn’t you tell Xiaoyan I was coming back?" Bai Li asked.

"No, I haven’t. Haven’t you told her either?" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The two men exchanged a silent look.

Gu Chen immediately narrowed his eyes, "Are you planning to give Xiaoyan a surprise, or are you on to something?"

"I thought you would tell her, so I didn’t," Bai Li said.

"Fine, we’re going to be back soon anyway. Oh, by the way, your subordinate Ji Mu is seriously injured and is now unconscious in the hospital. Are you going to see him first when you get back?"

Bai Li was expressionless.

Gu Chen added, "He was attacked, and it might be related to Xiaoyan."

Bai Li suddenly raised his eyes!

The command center quieted for a moment, then Bai Li closed his eyes again. However, he wasn’t simply resting with his eyes closed; he was trying to connect with Ji Mu’s brain.

No response.

The unemotional Lord Insect God slowly reopened his eyes and said, "Gu Chen, arrange for the people I brought. I need to leave first."

Then, in front of Gu Chen, Bai Li actually disappeared on the spot!

"It seems that Xiaoyan holds a very important place in your heart,"

Gu Chen’s lips curved slightly, reassured by this.

**

Gu Yan opened her eyes, feeling a bit dazed. She covered her forehead and took quite a while to realize what had happened.

She remembered being in the library and, after replying to Bai Li’s message, continued searching for some information.

But when she opened a book, countless tendrils suddenly sprouted out, dragging her into darkness!

When she opened her eyes again, it was the small Purple Wisteria that had sprouted from the palm of her hand, protecting Gu Yan well, which prevented her from falling into the deepest depths.

Gu Yan, suspended in mid-air, steadied her mind and said, "Thank you, little Purple."

In recent years, little Purple rarely appeared in public, so there was very little information about it.

Only the Gu Family knew more about it.

Gu Yan clearly understood that she had been attacked by a plant and that Little Tail, also a mutated plant, could counteract this attack.

"Xiaofu, are you still there?"

"Master, you are finally awake! I’m still here; it’s just that we’ve lost the signal to the outside world."

"Can you locate where we are?"

"I will start the super signal to try."

Although Xiaofu’s voice was childlike, being one of the top ten advanced artificial intelligences on Landis Star, it wasn’t a common brain and hadn’t completely stopped working despite the signal blockage.

Suspended in mid-air, Gu Yan felt a bit uncomfortable. Seeing her expression change, Little Tail immediately adjusted again to make her more comfortable at least.

However, with darkness below, bottomless, and the same above, during the time Xiaofu was locating the coordinates, Gu Yan reached out and touched the substance she was relying on.

"This thing, although very hard, is still wood... Am I inside a tree?"

Little Tail couldn’t speak, but one of its leaves swayed, as if nodding.

Gu Yan’s heart sank.

How did she end up inside the body of a tree? Also, her classmate—who had been called out by the teacher and left for just a few minutes—would he be worried because he couldn’t find her?

Gu Yan was actually very scared but tried to keep herself calm.

No matter what, she was temporarily safe and unharmed, which was a silver lining in an unfortunate situation. She needed to stay calm and find a way out!

In fact, during the minutes Gu Yan had disappeared, the whole library exploded into chaos, Empire University exploded into chaos, and the entire Mermaid lane of the Gu Family exploded into chaos!

Gu Yu had only been away for a few minutes and hadn’t even gone far—just stood at the library entrance and exchanged a few words with the teacher when this happened!

Gu Yu usually was the model student, passionate about experiments and research, leading many people to forget that he was a Beastman with powerful spiritual power and that his Fire Element Superpower was ranked among the top five strongest superpowers in the entire Universe!
