Chapter 231: Chapter 232: Blonfeld Clan, Clan Leader!

Gu Qijue held the Blood Spear, continually leading Commander Lorin and Eve through the breakout.

He paid no mind to the mechanical beetles around them.

What truly concerned him were the various cosmic-level warships outside.

The destructive beams from those ships were incredibly powerful; if one suddenly appeared here, he might not be able to escape.

The spatial fluctuations here were intense, making it impossible to tear through space and escape via space channels.

If not, he wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble.

Fortunately, Gu Qijue’s luck was quite good; the immense fortune of rescuing Commander Lorin rightfully belonged to him.

With Commander Lorin and Eve, he easily reached the edge of the Star War Ruins.

Arriving here, his mission was essentially complete.

However, to avoid any unforeseen problems, Gu Qijue didn’t call for a starship from the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster.

Seeing Gu Qijue prepared to take them directly through broken space to fly back to the frontline battlefield, Lorin couldn’t help but ask in surprise.

“Why not call the starship?”

Eve also wanted to know.

Gu Qijue didn’t hide it, speaking bluntly: “To my knowledge, Commander Lorin’s current predicament is very peculiar.”

“To avoid certain people being unwilling to see Commander Lorin return to the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster.”

“I think it’s better to directly escort Commander Lorin back to the frontline base.”

“At the frontline base, even if someone wants to harm Commander Lorin, they won’t have the opportunity to act.”

Hearing this, Lorin immediately nodded.

Lorin looked at Gu Qijue with an expression full of appreciation.

It’s undeniable that Gu Qijue was very thoughtful in considering the matter.

This predicament she encountered was indeed a rather peculiar affair.

What Gu Qijue described was entirely possible.

In places unknown to her, there might truly be someone who doesn’t want her to return to the Vermilion Bird Empire!

Next, Lorin and Eve began their long interstellar journey with Gu Qijue.

Gu Qijue couldn’t allow Lorin and Eve to enter the interior of the Emperor Starship.

If they had any special reconnaissance methods, people like Tian Li might be exposed.

Gu Qijue’s concerns were not groundless.

Though the Blonfeld Clan is one of the top aristocratic families in the Vermilion Bird Empire.

They also have enemies, their adversaries being the Beichen Zhao Family.

The Beichen Zhao Family is the ruler of the Beichen Star System civilization and one of the top aristocratic families in the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster.

Lorin is the most outstanding member of the younger generation of the Blonfeld Clan.

Even more outstanding than Lorin, one person has already been eliminated by the Zhao Family.

This is the Zhao Family’s method of dealing with the Blonfeld Clan: secretly removing their outstanding young members, causing the Blonfeld Clan to gradually decline.

Lorin’s survival this time was a complete surprise to the Beichen Zhao Family.

But they’re not worried about Lorin making it back to the Vermilion Bird Empire alive because every super long-distance space transmission station in the Star War Ruins had Zhao Family members.

If Lorin appeared at any space transmission station, she would encounter an accident during transmission, getting stuck in an undefined subspace.

The Beichen Zhao Family had everything arranged.

But they would never have dreamed that the person rescuing Lorin would use such a primitive method.

Bringing Lorin along, breaking through space and flying, painstakingly returning.

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, yet Gu Qijue took loops amounting to dozens or hundreds of circles.

Even if the top brass of the Beichen Zhao Family, like a reborn Zhuge or resurrected Liu Ji, wouldn’t anticipate Gu Qijue’s way of returning to the frontline base.

Even if they thought of it, it would be useless; the universe is vast and boundless, who knows the route Gu Qijue is taking.

After flying for some time with Gu Qijue, Miss Lorin suddenly burst into laughter.

Gu Qijue, a little puzzled, asked, “What’s so funny?”

Lorin laughed and said, “Even if someone realizes we’re not using the super long-distance space transmission device, they can’t catch me now.”

“After all, even we don’t know where we’ll appear next and what route we’ll finally take to the frontline base.”

This time, Gu Qijue nodded; Lorin was right.

The reality is indeed like that.

“Crack!”

He shattered the space again, taking Lorin and Eve to begin space traversing.

In the void of the universe, space traversing carries a certain randomness.

Once they start space traversing, it’s hard to say exactly when and where they’ll appear.

However, the Beichen Zhao Family discovered a puzzling occurrence.

The life source related to Lorin in the Star War Ruins disappeared.

There are two possibilities: either Lorin is dead.

Or Lorin has escaped, and the Beichen Zhao Family wasn’t aware of it!

If it’s the former, then so be it; but if it’s the latter, it can only mean Lorin used an inconceivable method to escape!

She didn’t use the super long-distance space transmission device but flew directly back.

Although Gu Qijue and Lorin took some time along the way.

Under Gu Qijue’s escort, Lorin and Eve safely reached the frontline base.

In this place, there was already a strong member of the Blonfeld Clan present.

An elder of D-Tier Cosmic Level quickly arrived upon hearing the news.

After inquiring about some situations with Lorin, the elder approached Gu Qijue and said gratefully:

“Young man, I am extremely grateful you saved my granddaughter.”

“I am Kane Blonfeld, and this is a token of my gratitude to you.”

As Kane spoke, he handed a card to Gu Qijue.

This card was a space storage device, and with a sweep of his spiritual power, Gu Qijue saw the items inside the card.

Inside the card was a savings card for the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster Bank, along with a substantial amount of treasures.

To the Blonfeld Clan, Lorin was evidently very important, or else Gu Qijue wouldn’t have received such benefits.

Regarding Kane’s gift, Gu Qijue thanked him and said, “Thank you.”

Kane smiled and said, “It’s my duty.”

With that, he patted Gu Qijue on the shoulder, encouraging him: “Young man, keep up the good work.”

Gu Qijue gave a slight nod, for even without Kane’s encouragement, he was determined to lead the Infinite Empire forward swiftly.

After Kane stepped aside, Lorin and Eve came over again to express their gratitude to Gu Qijue.

Lorin handed Gu Qijue a card, worth a billion Chesters, which she had previously used to purchase Blood Qi Crystals from him.

Lorin lastly said, “Lord Gu Qijue, until we meet again.”

Eve also spoke, “Lord Gu Qijue, thank you for your lifesaving grace; I look forward to our next action together.”

Gu Qijue nodded and said, “Miss Lorin, Miss Eve, take care.”
