Chapter 42 Undercurrents
Most of them have been crossed out with black ink, and only a few remain.
He turned to the latest page and wrote two words in the blank space:
An Zhi.
That new bloodline.
This name is indeed a bit short, unlike those names with long prefixes following Etherland.
It stands alone at the end of the list, looking particularly abrupt, yet inexplicably, it has a liveliness that it shouldn't have.
The candle flame flickered slightly, casting warm yellow light on the young emperor's face, outlining his angular profile, like a carefully carved marble statue.
The Etherland family was known for its good fortune, and he had inherited his father's cynical, somewhat frivolous phoenix eyes. However, the owner of these eyes always wore a cold expression, and even his features, which should have been those of a noble family, became cold and distinct.
He closed the book and put it back into the secret compartment.

Biboxing, alley.
Gugu fell into An Zhi's arms.
The umbrella cover was springy and trembled a little. A dot of fluorescence connected with the amber tears.
The boy came back to his senses.
There was a struggle in his eyes, but it was soon replaced by an unshakable obsession.
"What's your name? What's your purpose in following us?" Gu Jinyan asked again.
The young man took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of deep-sea blue eyes. His lips moved, and he uttered two words: "Wei... Suchuan."
Just then, a sudden burst of hurried footsteps echoed from the alley entrance. Several figures swiftly rushed in, led by a middle-aged man in a luxurious dark blue uniform. He looked familiar, his expression tinged with arrogance. Behind him followed several burly bodyguards.
"Suchuan! You are here!" The man saw the young man who was restrained by Gu Jinyan at a glance, "What tricks are you trying to play? Don't forget your identity!"
Suchuan subconsciously tried to break free, but was held down tightly.
"Who are you?" Gu Jinyan asked coldly.
The man raised his chin proudly and said, “I am Xuanta Kevis of the Kevis family.
This kid stole a valuable item from our family. Now, please hand him over, and also hand over the 'Star Amber Tear' you bought from the Rare Treasure Pavilion!"
His eyes greedily fell on the Star Amber Tear pendant worn on An Zhi's neck, as if he was determined to get it.
After hearing the name, Gu Changfeng finally remembered this person.
The family that really wants Star Amber Tears.
Unfortunately, the Star Amber Tears did not have the effect they wanted.
There is no item in the entire universe that can heal the soul.
Some people are always unwilling to believe this common sense.
"Your 'guest' seems reluctant to follow you."
Xuanta Kevis's face darkened. "If you don't accept my toast, you'll be punished! I advise you to be more sensible and not get into trouble that you shouldn't!"
The bodyguards behind him stepped forward and formed an encirclement.
Suchuan let out a low whimper. He stared at the mushroom in front of An Zhi, his eyes filled with despair and desire.
She couldn't be left here.
"Hand over the things! Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!" Xuanta Kevis shouted sternly.
"Go! Destroy that man, get Xingpolei back for me, and take Suchuan away too!"
He gave the order and acted forcefully without waiting for Gu Changfeng to speak.
Several bodyguards burst out with their own mental power, and energy bodies of various shapes appeared vaguely, with a fierce aura, rushing straight towards Gu Changfeng and Gu Jinyan.
The surrounding dust was blown up by the strong wind.
At the critical moment, Suchuan, who had been restrained by Gu Jinyan, suddenly raised his head.
"Stop! I'll go back with you!"
Suchuan glanced at An Zhi's amber tears again, a trace of struggle flashing across his face, "Don't hurt them! I'll go back with you! Please, don't hurt innocent people!"
Everyone was stunned when these words were spoken. The spirit summoned by Xuanta Kevis also froze in mid-air, unable to move forward or backward.
Gu Jinyan let go of his hand.
This young man was too purposeful, and his compromise seemed too sudden and deliberate.
Xuanta Kevis was shocked at first, but then a smug smile appeared on his face.
He retracted his spirit body and signaled the bodyguards to stop attacking.
"Oh? Suchuan, have you finally figured it out?" Xuanta Kevis walked slowly to Suchuan, stretched out his hand, and patted his face heavily.
Suchuan gritted his teeth and did not resist.
"Wouldn't it have been better if we had done this earlier? It would have saved everyone from falling out, and you wouldn't have had to suffer like this!"
He glanced at Gu Changfeng and Gu Jinyan and warned them.
"Remember this, not everyone can touch the things of the Kevis family! You're lucky today!"
Xuanta Kevis turned to Suchuan, his tone filled with impatience and alms: "Since you are willing to go back, then come with me."
He paused and added, "The young master has been looking for you all day!"
Xuanta left arrogantly with Suchuan and his bodyguards, and the alley returned to its evening tranquility.
Gu Changfeng slowly put An Zhi down.
Her eyes were still following the direction Suchuan left, her little mouth slightly pouted, seeming a little confused.
"Uncle Gu, why did that brother leave suddenly?" An Zhi asked in confusion.
The little bun is holding a small mushroom. His exposed hands and legs are milky white. He is so cute no matter how you look at him.
Gu Changfeng touched her head: "Uncle doesn't know either. Maybe he is tired from playing outside."
An Zhi suddenly realized: "So he wants to go home and sleep?"
"He didn't go back voluntarily." Gu Jinyan said in a deep voice, "His compromise just now was more of an exchange for some purpose than giving up resistance."
"To protect us?" An Zhitian interjected naively.
Gu Jinyan paused, lowered his eyes and looked at An Zhi, tenderness flashed in his eyes.
"perhaps."
He was concise and to the point.
Gu Changfeng sighed softly, his eyes falling on the Star Amber Tear pendant worn on An Zhi's neck.
The crystal was now emitting a brighter light than before, as if silently responding to something.
Before being taken away, Suchuan stared at it for the last time.
**
The series of conflicts today almost made the three of them forget the real purpose of their trip.
The purpose of stopping at Bibo Star is to replenish the supplies on the starship.
"Why was it delayed?"
Gu Changfeng looked at the darkening sky with some distress.
He opened the terminal and looked through it, and found that the largest shopping mall on Bibo Star was nearby.
He lowered his head and asked An Zhi, "Is our little explorer scared?"
An Zhi shook her head obediently. The tension just now seemed to have no effect on her at all.
The cub's attention shifted quickly. She looked around curiously, feeling fresh about everything around her.
From Gu Changfeng's perspective, he could only see a mushroom squatting on top of a person with furry hair tied in a small bun, spinning around.
Gu Changfeng laughed. After all, she was still a little Eslan.
Just a little wind and waves.
After taking a hover taxi, the three of them arrived quickly.
The mall was brightly lit and bustling with people.
Gu Changfeng pushed a large purchasing cart familiarly, moving between the shelves.
"Is the list you made here?" Gu Changfeng picked up a box of compressed nutritional supplements, looked at the production date, and asked casually.
Gu Jinyan pulled up a list from the terminal: "Yes, father."
An Zhi curiously rummaged through Gu Changfeng's purchasing cart, his little head shaking constantly.
When she saw the colorful and oddly shaped snacks on the shelves, her eyes lit up.
