"Then don't be too surprised next."

Gwen chuckled softly, and before the laughter subsided, he had vanished.

"Huh? Where did everyone go?"

Guinaifen curiously reached out and touched it, and was surprised to find that Gwen had really left.

"It's here."

Just as Guinaifen was curiously touching it, Gwen's voice came from the doorway.

Guinaifen subconsciously looked up, but her eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost—

"Sushang?"

Chapter 943 The Great Filial Piety of Li Dazhentou; A Gathering of Heroes, Yaliluo

The usually enthusiastic and lively orange-haired girl was stunned when she looked at the black-haired girl next to Gwen and then at her own best friend.

The same expression appeared on the faces of everyone else in the room. Whether it was Su Shang herself, Li Sushang whom Gwen had just brought over, or HuoHuo, they all fell silent at this moment.

While there has never been a shortage of identical twins in various literary works, it is still very rare in reality to find two people who are so similar that even if their clothes and temperament are different, they still subconsciously feel like one person.

Just moments ago, everyone was wondering why Gwen suddenly asked such a question, but now they all understand. Two people who look so alike, it's hard for others not to suspect that they are twin sisters.

On the contrary, Xing, who was the least experienced person present, showed a thoughtful expression after a moment of surprise. She touched her chin with one hand, her gaze shifting between Su Shang and Li Sushang, her little head seemingly thinking about some wonderful question.

After a moment of silence, Li Sushang, who was still quite curious about this world beyond the Solar System, broke the strange silence behind Gwen, stepped forward, clasped her hands in greeting, and said—

"I am Li Sushang, the First Disciple of the Supreme Freedom Sect. I greet you all."

A long time ago, Gwen told her that he would give her a surprise, but it had been so long that Li Sushang had almost forgotten about it until today, when Gwen suddenly brought her here.

Upon seeing Cloud Cavalry Su Shang, whose eyes were clear and seemed to resemble her past self, Li Sushang felt a strange sensation and understood what Gwen meant by the surprise.

Seeing Li Sushang's poised and graceful demeanor, everyone's gazes unconsciously turned to the other Su Shang in the room.

"Cough...

"I trust Cloud Cavalry, Li Sushang, and I have met this elder sister."

Looking at this child who seemed like someone else's ideal, Li Sushang, whose own ideal self she had just envisioned, couldn't help but feel a tightness in Su Shang heart.

Upon seeing Li Sushang for the first time, her first thought was—"Has Father wronged Mother?"

But then she thought about how she resembled her mother, Su Shang immediately dismissed the previous idea, replacing it with—"Could it be Mother...?"

Suddenly facing the poised and elegant Li Sushang, Su Shang couldn't help but feel a little awkward.

"We live in different worlds, yet we share the same name and have such similar appearances. It seems we are truly destined to meet."

Seeing Su Shang's unease, Li Sushang smiled and came to her side, took her somewhat stiff arm, and pulled her to sit down.

Seeing that nothing awkward happened, Guinaifen breathed a slight sigh of relief and quickly joined in.

With Guinaifen's agreement, the previously somewhat silent atmosphere quickly returned to cheerfulness, and Su Shang, who was also an optimist, quickly cheered up.

"So... this really is just a coincidence?"

Su Shang, whose mind was filled with grand filial piety, asked cautiously.

"Of course, such things do happen. There was a similar incident in our hometown. A friend from outer space looked almost exactly like one of our companions. If it weren't for the huge difference in their temperament, we probably wouldn't have been able to tell them apart at the time."

Although Li Sushang wasn't exactly a seasoned veteran with keen insight into people's hearts, with Gwen explaining things to her, she could easily understand Su Shang's thoughts and said with a smile.

"I see...

That's good, that's good, Dad and Mom are both alright..."

After confirming that Li Sushang and Yaoqing Xianzhou had absolutely no connection, Su Shang finally let go of her grandiose thoughts and patted her chest vigorously.

"Sushang, what did you say?"

Upon hearing Su Shang's words, Guinaifen instantly guessed what her friend was worried about and smiled mischievously, teasing her.

"No, no..."

Su Shang's awkward explanation filled the room with a cheerful atmosphere.

When the conversation paused, HuoHuo finally seized the opportunity and cautiously asked Gwen a question—

"Gwen, is this... Miss Li Sushang, the person you wanted to recommend?"

Although HuoHuo looks delicate and weak, she has been working in the Ten-Lords Commission for decades and easily understands Gwen's idea. He wants Li Sushang to join the Ghost-Hunting Squad.

"Well, if possible, I hope Su Shang can join you."

She herself is quite capable and can provide you with some assistance. She is also more likely to adapt to the environment of Luofu, serving as a tentative contact between two civilizations.

Gwen nodded and smiled.

"Of course, I also understand that the situation of the Ten-Lords Commission is complicated. If it is not possible, I will not force it and there is no need to make things difficult for them."

Thank you for your understanding.

Upon hearing Gwen's last words, HuoHuo, whose little face had been almost scrunched up, finally breathed a sigh of relief and ran to a corner with her phone to apply.

Upon hearing HuoHuo's question, the Ghost-Hunting Squad, who already had some suspicions, became interested and wanted to see what this potential new companion was capable of.

Since the Alchemy Commission had been reorganized and no one came here, the group decided to have a competition.

Little Gui was no match for Li Sushang. Although Cloud Cavalry Su Shang had practiced martial arts since childhood, she had not yet matured or attained enlightenment, and could only be crushed by Li Sushang. Xing, on the other hand, relied on pure numerical beauty to fight Li Sushang to a standstill.

With Gwen's help, Star, who could mobilize the power within his body to a limited extent with the Holy Lance, possessed a kind of numerical beauty. However, even without armor, Li Sushang could still make Star impossible to ignore with just a Xuanyuan Sword, and she had an overwhelming advantage in terms of skill.

Just as Gwen was engrossed in watching, the green fox ears twitched slightly, HuoHuo moved closer to Gwen again—

"Gwen, Lord Xueyi and Lord Hanya did not immediately reject this matter, but instead hoped to conduct a test on this Miss Li Sushang."

Moreover, Suiyang is extremely dangerous; if you accidentally come into contact with it, it can cause serious problems.

"A reasonable request."

Gwen looked down at the matcha cupcake and saw that although the girl was still timid, she was kindly offering advice. He smiled, casually pinched a Jade talisman, and placed it in front of HuoHuo.

"Thank you for reminding me. Consider this a small gift as a token of my gratitude. It can provide some psychological protection."

"Ah, thank you!"

HuoHuo was taken aback at first, not expecting to receive a gift, and then waved her hands repeatedly.

"But it's not necessary. HuoHuo... HuoHuo didn't do anything."

"Take it. As a judge of the Ten-Lords Commission, you are bound to encounter danger. You might need it."

Gwen smiled and stuffed the item into the little fox's hand, then disappeared before her eyes.

"Cauldron Master needs to talk to me. If you need to talk to me, you can contact Xing and Su Shang."

"Hmm..."

Looking at the empty space in front of her, and then at the jade talisman in her hand, HuoHuo's fox ears drooped slightly, and her expression showed some hesitation.

She felt she shouldn't accept the gift, but Gwen was already gone.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing about it. Just take it. If that little girl passes the test, just take good care of her during the mission."

A flash of green light appeared, and a tail emerged from HuoHuo's tail, helping her make the decision.

"Huh?"

"Eh what?!"

"If you don't want it, just throw it away. The person is gone, what are you hesitating for?"

The tail glared at HuoHuo with annoyance, making the little girl's ears fold up like airplane ears, but she also put the Gwen had given her into her pocket.

Meanwhile, Ling Sha was looking for Gwen at this time, naturally on official business.

However, the experiment, Ling Sha was expected to take a day or even less, was completed in just half an hour—

"That's an exaggerated level of control."

Fully dressed, Ling Sha looked at the experimental animals in the culture chamber and couldn't help but sigh.

"It is truly breathtaking."

Another Foxian doctor echoed the same sentiment.

"It's a pity that only Gwen can operate it manually, rather than the League having mature technology of this level."

"If I have the time, I'm open to being hired here."

Gwen continued with a smile.

"Hiring a powerful expert who killed the Annihilation Lord Phantylia would probably cost the entire Xianzhou Alliance dearly."

Ling Sha looked at Gwen with a smile.

"In that case, Cauldron Master, shall we settle the errand fee for this morning?"

Gwen immediately laughed.

"..."

Ling Sha, who had just been teasing Gwen, suddenly fell silent. Although Gwen couldn't see her face because of the protective gear, he could still see the embarrassment and annoyance in Ling Sha's eyes.

"Now that the things that needed my attention here are finished, I won't bother you any longer. I still have some things to take care of on the other side. Contact me immediately if any problems arise."

Gwen stopped teasing Ling Sha and instead spoke seriously.

"Leave this to us. The application of this brand-new technology might really solve a major problem for the alliance."

Looking at the groups of well-marked laboratory animals in front of him, the physician who came to Luofu from Yaoqing said with anticipation.

"Alright, get back to work, you busy person."

Ling Sha said irritably, turning away from Gwen.

"Oh...

If you encounter any problems, please contact me immediately...

Gwen smiled and disappeared from the Luofu Alchemy Commission.

When they reappeared, they were outside the still snow-covered Yaliluo VI.

At this moment, in addition to the Fourth Divine Key that was already operating here, another behemoth has appeared in the orbit of this planet's satellite, dissolving the Cold Wave on this planet at an astonishing speed.

This is the Poseidon machine that Gwen Lostbelt 5, a work vessel used for planetary environmental terraforming.

Gwen had long had plans to repair this behemoth, but unfortunately, the civilization that created it was far more advanced than Earth's civilization. Even if Velvie could catch up on her studies in an emergency, there were still many gaps in her knowledge, making it difficult to put the project on the agenda.

In the end, Gwen had no choice but to hand it over to the Herta.

At that time, Gwen had not yet received the light arrow bestowed by the Star God the Hunt, and the Herta was also very interested in this genuine creation from another universe, so it took on the job.

Despite several minor mishaps along the way, this behemoth eventually got up and running successfully and is now working diligently to restore the environment of Yaliluo VI.

However, Gwen today was not to check the equipment's operational efficiency—

"Hmm? Finally dealt with the Xianzhou native?"

Following closely behind Gwen on the Poseidon planetary conversion ship, the Herta stretched slightly. Although its overall curves were somewhat lacking, its long, straight legs were still very eye-catching.

"After all, they were one of our later allies, so it took a little longer."

Gwen smiled, his gaze meeting the Herta's eyes, which still held a hint of languor.

"But you, running away now, aren't you afraid of being verbally attacked by Stephan when you get back?"

"How could such a small amount of work be difficult for me?"

Herta adjusted his witch's hat, quite pleased with himself—

"Besides, witnessing life on a planet is much more interesting than that kind of thing..."

"Is that so, Ruan Mei?"

"The compilation of the Simulated Universe is basically complete; the remaining minor details have been handed over to Screwllum."

Ruan Mei, who had just arrived, did not directly answer the Herta's question. Instead, she looked directly at Gwen, a perfectly timed smile playing on her lips.

"As for now, a miracle of life after a busy period is the perfect way to relax."

"Then I hope this place will provide you two with an excellent movie-watching experience."

Gwen smiled and nodded, about to leave, when someone stopped him, and a pair of slender hands gently straightened his collar—
