The Empire's youngest and most talented commander, He Xingjue, was seriously injured and remained unconscious. The news of the quantum beast's demise was spread by some scheming individual and spread throughout the entire Empire in just a few days.

"Without the Quantum Beasts, are the Sentinels still Sentinels?"

"Of course not. Let's not even talk about sentries now, it's hard to say whether Commander He will even wake up."

"Without Commander He, I cannot sleep at night. I hereby declare that I am an exiled star system."

"Upstairs, I understand your feelings. I'm also from the Exile Starfield. The Exile Starfield has been in chaos for centuries, plagued by countless local criminal gangs and constantly targeted by space pirates and void beasts. Commander He spent two years cracking down on these criminal gangs. In those two years, space pirates visited the Exile Starfield forty-three times, each time never to return; void beasts came eighty-three times, almost always annihilated. In the past year, space pirates and void beasts have almost completely disappeared from the Exile Starfield."

"Commander He's achievements extend far beyond the Exile Starfield. He graduated at twenty and is now twenty-eight. In just eight years, he has led troops to repel twenty-four large-scale beast tides, fifty-six medium-scale beast tides, and countless small-scale beast tides. The stability of the Empire owes half its credit to him and the Snow Wolf Legion!"

"What an amazing person! Truly one of a kind!"

"I hope he is safe and sound and wakes up soon."

"I hope Commander He is safe and sound and wakes up soon!"

"........"

The person spreading the message hadn't expected this outcome. His eyes were fixed on the screen, and he smashed the heavy solid wood table to pieces with a single blow.

Li Ze successfully survived the night, and when they learned he was still breathing in the morning, the guards in the villa breathed a huge sigh of relief.

“You don’t need to be like this. Even if he dies, neither the Li family nor your commander’s rivals can shift the blame onto your commander. Very few patients with genetic diseases live to adulthood, and this Li Ze is already twenty years old.”

"That makes sense, but people outside won't listen. They're being used by those with ulterior motives, and it's no surprise they're ruining our commander's reputation."

"It takes only a mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of legwork to refute them."

"Besides, our commander never pays attention to those rumors, and he doesn't bother to explain himself when he's misunderstood."

Liu Yanzhi recalled that it was indeed the case. The reason why He Xingjue became the commander of hundreds of thousands of soldiers at such a young age was not because of his ambition, but because of his unparalleled military achievements.

He never took malicious slander from competitors to heart.

“I really want to protect your commander’s reputation, but this one,” Liu Yanzhi said helplessly, “has a disease that no doctor in the entire intergalactic region can cure.”

The guards could only remain silent.

"Let's put aside Young Master Li for now and take a look at your commander's condition today." Liu Yanzhi walked towards He Xingjue.

Huh?

Liu Yanzhi frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?" the guards asked anxiously, holding their breath.

Liu Yanzhi did not answer. He began to systematically check He Xingjue's various physical data. The more he looked, the deeper his brows furrowed.

Seeing his expression, the guards' hearts leaped into their throats.

What exactly happened?

Liu Yanzhi's examination was very thorough; he even checked it twice.

"That's strange, your commander's stats have actually improved a bit," Liu Yanzhi said疑惑地. "He was perfectly normal before I left yesterday, just like any other day. How come he's changed today?"

The guards breathed a sigh of relief and smiled when they heard the first part of the sentence, but they were displeased when they heard the second part.

"Dr. Liu, from what you're saying, Commander He shouldn't be well?"

“It’s not that he shouldn’t recover, but he won’t recover so quickly in a short time. In fact, we all know that the probability of him waking up is not high. But this morning his various data suddenly improved. If the probability of waking up was only fifty percent before, it has become sixty percent today. A ten percent change overnight, I can’t do it for the time being.” Liu Yanzhi shook his head.

"Could it be because our commander has strong physical abilities and a fast recovery speed?"

“That didn’t happen overnight; even the strongest things should progress gradually,” Liu Yanzhi disagreed.

The guards looked at each other in bewilderment. If the doctors couldn't figure out the reason, they were even more confused.

"Whatever the reason, it's a good thing that things are getting better."

"Only by finding the cause and treating the symptoms can the commander wake up faster."

"Have you ever thought about the only difference between last night and before—"

Someone pointed to Li Ze in the next bed.

"You mean him? He can't even protect himself, what can he do for our commander?"

The people who came to escort the bride that day said, "It's to bring good luck!"

The moment the words "marrying for good luck" were uttered, everyone's expressions changed.

They instinctively wanted to refute it, but then they thought that even doctors couldn't find the cause, and that things that science couldn't explain might really be related to metaphysics?

The guards present, fearing they might say the wrong thing and affect their commander's recovery, all remained silent.

Liu Yanzhi raised an eyebrow and walked towards Li Ze on the next bed.

Five minutes later.

Liu Yanzhi also fell silent. What exactly happened last night? Why did both of their conditions improve at the same time?

However, the change in Li Ze was less obvious and could be easily overlooked if one was not paying attention.

"Dr. Liu, what's wrong now?" The guard's heart tightened as he saw Liu Yanzhi's furrowed brows.

Liu Yanzhi gave his personal guards a deep look and exhaled a long breath. "Your commander's wife probably won't die in the next couple of days."

The guard was taken aback. "Why?"

Liu Yanzhi shook his head. "Who knows?"

bodyguard: "......."

Over the next few days, He Xingjue's physical condition improved steadily, and it seemed he could wake up at any moment. Li Ze also stubbornly endured day after day, looking like he was about to die but couldn't.

The guards lived in constant fear for several days until one day they received news.

A wave of void beasts has appeared in the Flowing Flame Starfield.

A bad feeling welled up in the hearts of the guards.

"The military command ordered Zhou Yi to lead his White Tiger Legion to resist the Void Beast Tide."

"From the Exile Starfield to the Flowing Flame Starfield, the jump takes no more than an hour, making it the most suitable place for him and the White Tiger Legion to go."

"I'm afraid it's not just the White Tiger Legion that's going, or rather, it's not just the White Tiger Legion—"

"Contact Commander Chen."

In the Exile Starfield, Commander Chen, whom the guards had mentioned, was being cornered in his office by Zhou Yi. The office door was locked from the inside, and Commander Chen was sitting in his office chair while Zhou Yi held onto the armrests, trapping him inside.

“He Xingjue won’t wake up. Chen Qian, come with me, how about it?” Zhou Yi leaned in, his eyes ambiguous and unrestrained.

Chen Qian slapped away the face that was right in front of him and said contemptuously, "You're not as good as He Xingjue. At least He Xingjue wouldn't touch other people's things."

A flash of anger crossed Zhou Yi's face, but then he laughed and grabbed Chen Qian's chin. "Someone else's stuff? You mean yourself, or the Snow Wolf Legion?"
