Empire, Central Star.

Bai Xiao stood in the garden of the Yuan family's old house, alone. Looking at her parents and grandfather on the other end of the communicator, she finally asked about the matter.

"His Majesty handled the matter in the Canglan Star Region very strangely this time."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Xiao finally voiced her thoughts.

"I have a feeling that the Empire doesn't really want to rescue the Sixth Legion this time. Is that just my imagination, Grandpa?"

Looking at his granddaughter's puzzled expression on the camera, Bai Xiao's grandfather also had a solemn expression.

Although their main family is not on the central star, it doesn't mean that the Bai family is a second-rate family.

Conversely, the Bai family, which wields significant influence over the imperial legal system, is extremely powerful.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for her and Yuan Fang to be together smoothly with the consent of both sets of parents.

"Xiaoxiao, where are you now? You don't look like you're with the legion. You and Xiaoyuan have already returned to the Central Star, right?"

Instead of immediately answering Bai Xiao's question, the old man of the Bai family began to show concern for Bai Xiao.

"It must be because of His Majesty's summons. However, after Yuan Fang and I were transferred back to the Central Star, we were brought back by the old man of the Yuan family. We are not in the palace now, but with Yuan Fang's maternal grandfather."

"If you ask your grandfather what he thinks about the Sixth Legion being attacked by the Zerg, I think you should ask Xiao Yuan's maternal grandfather instead; he probably knows more than I do."

He didn't say he knew nothing about it, but Old Master Bai clearly didn't want to talk about it.

Bai Xiao hesitated after her grandfather said that, but her grandfather hung up the video call in that instant, making the matter seem even more taboo.

"What could be more serious than the deaths of soldiers and aliens?!"

Bai Xiao gritted her teeth, unable to suppress the anger in her heart.

The youth's enthusiasm was repeatedly dampened by the cold water poured on them by the older generation's conversations.

However! Bai Xiao still couldn't quell her anger, just like her burning passion that would never die.

Bai Xiao turned around and planned to go see Yuan Fang's maternal grandfather, but she found that Yuan Fang's expression was also very solemn.

"what are you up to?"

Before Bai Xiao could ask Yuan Fang, Yuan Fang asked this question first.

"See your maternal grandfather."

Bai Xiao didn't hide it from Yuan Fang. Looking at Yuan Fang, who went to see his maternal grandfather first, he looked as if he had suffered some major blow.

"What do you want to see my maternal grandfather for?"

Yuan Fang's expression became even uglier, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on!

Bai Xiao's expression darkened considerably after being spoken to in such a harsh tone.

"What do you mean by that?" Hearing Yuan Fang's harsh tone just now, Bai Xiao felt a surge of anger. "What are you questioning me about? What do you think my purpose was in seeking out your maternal grandfather?"

Bai Xiao's continuous anger left Yuan Fang speechless.

Yuan Fang knew that his attitude just now was a bit bad, but he was also reprimanded by Bai Xiao afterwards.

For a moment, his awkwardness prevented him from immediately bowing his head and apologizing.

Bai Xiao stood there watching coldly.

The two remained motionless, like wooden figures, facing each other.

Finally, it was the butler who came looking for them who broke the deadlock, saying that Yuan Fang's grandfather wanted to see them and had something to discuss with them.

Lu Xiaoyao's live stream room

[Guess what I saw when I went out?]

[What? What did you see? The authorities have given orders to come and provide support!]

No, no, that new blog from the military hasn't said a word. They didn't even elaborate on what kind of support they were talking about, and then nothing happened. I heard it from friends in the Lightfeather Star Region. They said they saw the Third Legion's fleet set sail! Heading towards Qilan Star!

As soon as this comment appeared, the number of comments on the screen surged instantly.

Really? Is it true?

[I testify. I saw their mechs and starships fly over my head with my own eyes. In times of crisis, it's always the Third Legion that counts!]

Hey, don't just mention the Third Legion. Our Fifth Legion flies too! That crosses the Garan Starfield, which is defended by the Fourth Legion!

[Crossing mountains, crossing seas, traversing endless paradises. Everyone's on their way!]

[Hey, no way. The Fifth Legion has already moved, what is the Fourth Legion doing? Judging from their geographical location, isn't the Fourth Legion right next to Qilan Star? Why isn't anyone coming to their aid?]

"Seriously, just standing by and watching is disgusting! Even if you're scared, with potential sacrifices and deaths, couldn't you at least provide some weaponry? Or you could scare them a bit outside and ease the pressure on Qilan Star!"

[So, you're saying all the other legions have made their moves, and you're just sitting next door doing nothing? That's just... something, isn't it?]

The Star People were outraged, and a few rational Star People also spoke up for the Fourth Legion, and even for other legions that had not yet taken action to rescue them.

[This isn't something you can just decide on your own; the key is getting orders from above. After all, the Zerg are so elusive; what if they're lured away from their own territory? Who's to blame then?]

[Yes, not everyone is like the Third Legion, with the courage to take full responsibility for the defeat in the war. Did the other legions have that kind of courage?]

[Hey! What kind of troll is this? What does this have to do with our Third Legion? What do you mean by that? Are you saying it's all our fault?!]

[In other words, your words are sarcastic and insinuating. Who are you trying to sow discord between our Third Legion and the other legions?]
