"Sorry, I was too busy today, I only just saw your message. I’ll come to see you in a few days."

Because it was too late, the Insect God simply sent her a message without making a call, mainly because he was worried it would disturb Xiaoyan’s rest.

But to his surprise, the young lady was still awake and replied to his message right away.

"Then it’s a promise, you can’t back out!"

"Alright, go to sleep now, good night."

After putting down the light brain, the Insect God summoned Xi Le, "Tomorrow go and contact Landis Empire University. Tell them we want to send a group of exchange students to Empire University to gain experience. Select some potential youngsters from the Insectoids to go."

Xi Le nodded. Over the years, they had a very good relationship with Landis Star, and much of the culture there was advanced and sophisticated. They should indeed go there and learn.

"Yes."

"Reserve a spot for me."

Xi Le was startled and looked up at the Insect God, "You, you’re going too?"

"Yes, but I will take on a different identity."

The migration and base construction efforts had reached a pause, and finding a new place to establish an Insect Nest was not urgently needed at that instant.

He had been separated from Xiaoyan for so many years; this time, he should go and accompany her as she studied.

Changing his identity was also to keep a low profile because Gu Jue and Gu Chen had already met him, albeit only through a projection. However, if there were long-term face-to-face interactions, they would probably detect something amiss.

Keeping a low profile was hoping not to cause any inconvenience to Xiaoyan.

**

On Landis Star, at the residence of Commander Gu.

Now the Gu family, a family of five, was very busy. Gu Jue and Su Wan were heading to the military department, and Gu Chen was supposed to move into the Imperial Palace at this time, but he wasn’t married yet and preferred to live with his family, so he was just going to the Imperial Palace for work every day.

Meanwhile, Gu Yu and Gu Yan were off to attend Empire University.

After breakfast, the family split up, and when Gu Yan reached Empire University, it was already close to nine o’clock.

It was Vivian who had reserved a seat for her in advance, allowing her to head straight for the classroom.

Finally, Gu Yan entered the classroom just as the bell rang, successfully avoiding being late.

She quickly found Vivian, who was sitting in the middle row, and hurried over to take the seat beside her.

"Talk about receiving special treatment, not being punctual on your first day," Luo Xixi, sitting behind them, said sarcastically.

Molly glanced at them but didn’t say anything.

Gu Yan felt a bit irritated, but since the teacher had started the lecture, it wasn’t a good time to respond. All she could do was listen attentively as the teacher spoke of their planet’s migration history, beginning with Ancient Earth...

The lecture was only halfway through when somebody began to yawn. If one was not genuinely interested in history, many of the classes could put them to sleep.

Gu Yan, however, was listening intently. She was reminded of Ancient Earth where Brother Little Mushroom had taken her, and she felt a surge of emotion, wishing they could live in that era.

Vivian shared the same sentiment.

Once the class ended, the two girls walked out while chatting and saw two people ahead arguing about something.

It was Luo Xixi with an upperclassman.

Gu Yan recognized the boy; he was Luo Xixi’s fiancé, a junior this year named Mu Feng, belonging to the Mu Family.

Huh, that name sounds familiar.

In the past, the Mu Family had gone through hard times, forcing Mu Lei, Mu Qingyu, and Mu Xiaoge to change their surnames. However, in recent years, they settled down, focused on their work, and ceased causing any trouble.

Then they produced a few outstanding and promising children, and Mu Feng was one of them.

Young as he was, he was already an S-class Beastman and might become an excellent Commander in the future.

Because the Mu Family was on the rise again, the Luo Family wanted to secure an alliance through marriage, which led to the engagement of Luo Xixi and Mu Feng.

Gu Yan disliked Luo Xixi, and had thought about just walking by them when Mu Feng happened to look up, see her, and say, "Isn’t that Xiaoyan? Long time no see."

Gu Yan stared at his smiling face, taken aback. Ah, he looked so much like that person she saw back on Ancient Earth.

No, wait, they even had the same name?!

This was truly a rare occurrence!

But because Gu Yan glanced over at Mu Feng a few times, Luo Xixi, who was already in a bad mood, exploded.

"Gu Yan, what are you implying, why do you keep staring at my fiancé?!"

Gu Yan’s mouth twitched. "He greeted me, I looked at him for a moment, nodded, isn’t that just basic manners? Luo Xixi, you’re acting so strange. Just now, you accused me of being late when I wasn’t, and now you’re spouting nonsense here?"

"I’m spouting nonsense? Was that just a glance?"

"Qianqian, stop it," Mu Feng was somewhat speechless. He held onto Luo Xixi and then apologized to Gu Yan, "Gu Yan, go on with your things, Qianqian is just in a bad mood today."

Gu Yan: "I’m in a bad mood too, Luo Xixi, can you stop acting like a mad dog from now on?"

After saying that, she walked away with Vivian.

Luo Xixi was left fuming, but when she wanted to chase after them, they were already too far away.

Once they had walked some distance, Vivian dared to speak up, "Xiaoyan, do you have some kind of grudge against this Luo Xixi?"

Gu Yan: "What grudge? Technically, through my cousin Luo Manya, we’re even relatives. One can like or dislike someone without a reason, and that’s just how she is. Forget about it; she’s all bark and no bite, she wouldn’t really dare do anything to me."

Vivian thought about it and agreed.

If Luo Xixi really dared to bully Gu Yan at the school, she guessed the Luo family would be the ones to deal with Luo Xixi.

Gu Yan rubbed her chin and turned to her roommate, "Vivian, why do I feel like sometimes you’re even more naive than I am? I’ve been well protected by my parents and brothers since I was young, so I didn’t really come into contact with bad people, but what about you? Did your parents also protect you very well?"

Vivian wasn’t originally from the Wasted Star of the Empire; she migrated over later. Initially, her mother Julia was from the Plist Planet, but after several changes took place there, Julia moved with her family first to the main Wasted Star, and later they all migrated to Landis Star together.

After pondering for a while, Vivian said, "Right, I heard from my mother that she was an exchange student at Empire University back in her day, she should’ve been in the same class as your mother."

"Oh, that’s quite a coincidence."

Gu Yan didn’t ask about what Vivian’s father and other family members did; she felt it would be impolite to ask directly. She believed if Vivian wanted to share, she would tell her everything in due course.

As for Gu Yan’s family affairs... well, probably the whole Landis Star knew about them.

The two girls didn’t take Luo Xixi seriously, but Mu Feng had just had his first argument with her.
