“Shall we collaborate?”
What was Chu Fengyuan sleep-talking about?
Gu Huan’s first reaction was this.
How could they possibly collaborate? Setting aside their completely opposing positions, Chu Fengyuan was planning a rebellion. Collaborating with him to eliminate one of his enemies would be like cutting off his own hand. Moreover, collaborating with Chu Fengyuan would likely lead to a fate similar to Elder Jin’s.
“That’s impossible.”
“Don’t be hasty.”
Chu Fengyuan, as if anticipating Gu Huan’s refusal, swiftly changed the subject. He bent the finger he had just extended, pointing towards the two girls.
“Have those two girls obediently return home. I still have intelligence to share with you. After listening, you can reconsider whether you want to cooperate with me.”
Having stayed here for too long, he could easily attract the attention of Cheng Dui and Cheng Zhao.
Chu Fengyuan turned away, waved his hand, and disappeared down the contestant’s corridor.
When Gu Huan turned back, the two girls had already walked up behind him without him realizing.
“Who were you talking to?” Cheng Dui asked.
Gu Huan turned his head.
“A man who invited me to join the gladiatorial team.”
Cheng Dui snorted.
“I’ll give you credit for being capable.”
After this battle, Cheng Dui and Cheng Zhao were completely convinced. They used to think that even without Gu Huan, they could assist their father. Even if Gu Huan turned ungrateful, it wouldn’t affect them. However, now it seemed that Gu Huan was indeed a significant force, and they couldn’t replace him. Moreover… having an enemy in the enemy camp was asking for trouble.
Weighing these two factors, they felt they should get along well with Gu Huan.
“Let’s go back. It’s too chaotic outside, and it’s easy for danger to occur. Besides, there are too many people and prying eyes here,” Cheng Zhao suggested.
Indeed, there were too many prying eyes, and the people they were concerned about had already found them.
Gu Huan nodded silently, followed behind the two girls, and quietly checked if anyone was following them.
Chu Fengyuan’s people had been nearby the entire time, never leaving.
Gu Huan tightened his fingers slightly and, while Cheng Dui was still jumping around, sent a message through the device testing his mental power on his chest to the Crown Prince’s special guard monitoring him from the distant starry sky.

Chu Xinglin immediately turned around and approached Chen Weiwei’s display screen.
“What did he say?”
“The General said,” Chen Weiwei’s expression became serious, “Chu Fengyuan appeared on the planet where he is.”
Chu Xinglin suddenly jumped up.
“Quickly find out which planet Gu Huan is on right now.”
Because he didn’t have an optical brain, Gu Huan could only give them the direction of his navigation, not the coordinates of the planet he was on.
So they had been tracking the star field that Gu Huan might have passed through, but this still took some time.
“Is there no way to directly locate the mental power device?”
“The concealment ability of that planet is too good, and it can’t be confirmed.”
Chen Weiwei looked bitter, and at that moment,
Gu Huan sent another message, and Chen Weiwei interpreted the new morse code.
“The General said that everyone on this planet is a criminal, and no one has an optical brain.”
“Such a planet… I seem to have heard of it.”
Chen Weiwei had a very good memory, and Chu Xinglin immediately asked.
“Where is it?”
“I’ve heard of a captured fugitive who mentioned such a planet.”
“The people there are basically all fugitives.”
“They don’t allow optical brains on the planet, so no one knows the exact location of that planet.”
Chu Xinglin had an idea in his mind.
“I don’t believe that all criminals are so obedient. Someone must have left clues.”
“Tell the criminals on the Interstellar Court planet that whoever provides clues will be given a reduction in sentence.”
“Your Highness, can the people on the Interstellar Court Star agree?”
“Finding Chu Fengyuan is merit enough for a reduced sentence.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Upon returning to the courtyard, Gu Huan noticed two projections at the door.
“It is impossible for this desolate star to have scenery like this courtyard. The flowers and green grass in this courtyard are all projections. They are not real.” Cheng Zhao explained.
“Oh, I see.”
No wonder he had no interest in the blooming flowers since he arrived yesterday; they were all fake.
The two girls invited Gu Huan into the house and took out several bags of nutrient solution from the fridge. Gu Huan held the nutrient solution in his hand but didn’t drink.
Cheng Zhao noticed that Gu Huan had not touched the bag of nutrient solution and took the initiative to hand out her own nutrient solution.
“If you are worried, you can drink mine.”
Gu Huan glanced at the nutrient solution in Cheng Zhao’s hand, and then took it.
“How long have you been living here?”
“How long you’ve been in prison, that’s how long we’ve been here,” Cheng Dui said while biting on the nutrient solution, settling into the soft cushion on the sofa.
“Did Director He instruct you to lead me there?”
“No, we were just bored and wanted to escape. There’s nothing fun being locked up there every day.”
Is such a dangerous place fun?
Gu Huan doesn’t think so.
But the utopia He Yunan created for them was indeed too lonely, and it was understandable that they wanted to come out and have a look.
Gu Huan inquired, “How much do you know about my situation?”
“We know…”
Cheng Zhao was about to speak, but Cheng Zhao interrupted her, saying, “Why say so much?”
“He’s now a fellow companion since he’s also a fugitive, we’re all in the same boat.”
Cheng Dui felt that Cheng Zhao was making a mountain out of a molehill.
“Dad said he lost contact because he suffered from amnesia, not because he intended to betray us. Now that we’ll be partners, it’s only natural to talk about our past with him.”
Cheng Zhao frowned slightly, feeling that Cheng Dui’s logic made sense, so she didn’t stop her.
“The Empire has been conducting human experiments. Dad kindly rescued experimental subjects like us and raised them in an orphanage.”
“Chu Shengyun is our enemy, and we want revenge, overthrowing his rule.”
“…”
Gu Huan pressed his lips together tightly. In a sense, Director He embellished his actions, becoming a sort of saintly figure in their minds. Stealing them as fertilized eggs, using them as pawns to join Chu Fengyun’s camp—these series of actions were only to satisfy his selfish desires.
It’s hard to imagine that someone like him… would do so much for him out of admiration for the founding era.
“The first person he saved was you, how can you help those bastards on the other side?”
“I didn’t help Chu Shengyun.”
“You’re lying.”
“It was your people who took the information from planet gn777, and you ruined our revenge plan.”
Cheng Dui stood up.
“I didn’t lie.”
Gu Huan tightened the empty nutrient solution in his hand, his eyes radiating a cold light.
“From beginning to end, I’ve only helped Chu Xinglin, the Crown Prince of the Empire. If you only want to overthrow Chu Shengyun’s rule, we’ve already achieved that.”
“Your Highness, the planet where the general is located has been found.”
“Go at full speed!” Chu Xinglin waved his hand violently.
M1zushi: would anyone give up the planet’s location tho? Although you’re to leave earlier, it’ll also mean that you’ll be a target since you leaked the location and broke the bandit’s oath. But I’m sure they all kill everyone who left the planet and was captured since they can’t be sure that nobody leaked the location in prison
I wonder how those twins are going to react when they find out their “father” has a biological kid.
lmao jealousy and betrayal….
I want to slap these girls
💖💖💖💖
maybe that he person didn’t tell the twins about the emperor’s abdication? but they can hack, if they want, they can find out. they trust prof he too much tho so idk.
thanks for the chapter!
