Chapter 211 Chu Huaizhi's Secret
After a few minutes of standoff between Lin Xiaohe and Cassian, Cassian finally gave in.

He stroked his beard and chuckled wryly, "Well, I originally wanted to save face for the Federation and not make your impression of them even worse."

Lin Xiaohe: "In my mind, their credibility is bankrupt and my impression of them has plummeted. I wouldn't be surprised if they did something even more despicable."

"Sigh, is there really no way to mend your relationship?" No matter how bad the Federation is, it is still the Federation that Cassian fought for most of his life.

This bond and attachment cannot be completely severed.

Lin Xiaohe reached out, grabbed a piece of Void Devourer's flesh, and broke it apart with force, revealing the tender white flesh inside.

Lin Xiaohe licked her fingers; the spicy and savory flavor was delicious.

Seeing this, Cassian knew that Lin Xiaohe's mind was made up. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, blaming the Federation for being too short-sighted and bullying Lin Xiaohe because she had no status or background.

"Xiao He, do you know how long the longest-lived person in the Federation lived?"

"Year 300?"

Cassian gave a strange smile and corrected him, "300 years? That's just the average lifespan of the Security Department. The longest-lived one has lived for 503 years and is still alive."

Lin Xiaohe cursed inwardly, no wonder the people in the Ministry of State Security were so shameless, they were all shrewd people.

Cassian sighed deeply: "The longer they lived, the more afraid they became of death. At the time, there was a rumor circulating among the higher-ups that the black beetle held the secret to immortality."

Lin Xiaohe looked up; this was something not mentioned in the "Litavi Project".

Therefore, the reason they sent so many people to the Holy Gate was not to protect the Federation, but to obtain eternal life.

This is truly selfishness as always, and it doesn't disappoint at all.

"What has happened at the Holy Gate recently that requires Chu Huaizhi to lead men to guard it?"

Cassian took the meat Lin Xiaohe handed him, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and found it quite delicious.

"There are a lot of Zerg over at the Holy Gate, a huge number, but this is not normal. The Giant Tomb has already appeared in the second star ring. There is no need for these Zerg to enter our star system through the Holy Gate, which would only increase casualties."

Lin Xiaohe slowed down her shrimp peeling speed and pondered to herself, "Could it be that the insectoids on the other side of the Holy Domain are reinforcements sent by the Insect Lord?"
Lin Xiaohe said with dissatisfaction, "Since Chu Huaizhi has a way to deal with the Zerg, why doesn't he use all his strength? Why does he have to rely on me? You guys are all good at moral blackmail."

Cassian glanced at Lin Xiaohe out of the corner of his eye and weakly explained, "Do you have a prejudice against Chu Huaizhi? Actually, he's had a tough time too. This time, the suppression of the Holy Gate was mainly due to his group of alien friends."

"Friends from another race?"

"Oh, don't worry about that. Just know that those people can't wholeheartedly help the Federation fight the Zerg. Guarding the Holy Gate is the limit of what they can do."

Cassian peeled shrimp in his hands, whispering words of advice: "Your master has it tough too. It's not that he doesn't want to protect you, it's that he can't. He sounds like Marshal Chu, with a high reputation, but everyone in the higher-ups knows that he doesn't actually have any real power!"

"Back then, most of his elite troops perished at the Holy Gate."

Lin Xiaohe: "Huh?!"

Cassian ate the meat one bite after another.

It has to be said that having some good food makes chatting with Lin Xiaohe about old friends' gossip even more enjoyable.

"The existence of the Holy Gate quickly attracted the attention of the Empire. The Empire dispatched three princes and a deputy marshal to lead troops to seize the Holy Gate. The Federation, of course, refused to allow it, so they sent Chu Huaizhi and his elite troops." "The two sides fought fiercely. Originally, they were still some distance from the Holy Gate, but unexpectedly, the Holy Gate rioted, and with a snap, it extended outwards for a whole light-year!"

"Both sides in the conflict have fallen."

Lin Xiaohe listened intently, then pushed the tray toward Cassian: "In the end, who came out?"

Cassian learned quickly, his shrimp-peeling skills becoming increasingly proficient: "Only Chu Huaizhi came out. All three princes of the empire fell into this trap, causing a long period of turmoil in the imperial court. These three princes were originally strong contenders for the throne, and with their deaths, the other princes began to harbor ambitions."

Lin Xiaohe didn't care about the empire; instead, she posed a profound question: "How do you know that it was Chu Huaizhi who came out, and not some other creature in disguise?"

Cassian put down the food in his hand and sighed, "If you can think of this, then the people of the Federation must think even more. After Chu Huaizhi came out of the Holy Gate, he lost a large part of his memories of the Holy Gate, and his mental strength was severely damaged, so he had to step down from the position of Marshal."

"The federal government monitored and examined him for 10 years, and both genetic testing and mental analysis proved that it was him."

Even so, the Federation was not at ease with Chu Huaizhi continuing to hold a substantive position.

Therefore, Chu Huaizhi became the Federation's mascot, held in high esteem, but he was not given any power and was even monitored!
Lin Xiaohe suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

She said, "How can Chu Huaizhi, as the Marshal of the Federation, be so useless! He can't say a word about anything!"
"How come the Federation dares to use Chu Huaizhi now?"

Cassian chuckled: "If we don't use Chu Huaizhi, who else can we use? If you're willing, the Federation can use you too."

Uh……

Lin Xiaohe definitely wouldn't agree.

As the two chatted, a plate of stir-fried Void Devourer was completely devoured.

Cassian was still not satisfied and was about to ask Lin Xiaohe to bring another plate when he suddenly remembered what he had eaten. His face turned pale and then red, as if he had spilled a bottle of paint.

He stammered, then asked, "Xiao He, will I faint?"

Lin Xiaohe casually comforted him, "Don't worry, it's nothing. But I didn't expect you to be so impressive, you can actually eat so much meat. I was originally thinking of opening a military academy after we go to Kyushu Star and having you as the principal."

Now, Lin Xiaohe has changed her mind and decided to make the best use of resources and let the capable do more work.

Cassian is not at the age to give up and give up; he is at the age to strive and fight!
Cassian couldn't help but shiver. Meeting Lin Xiaohe's bright eyes, he weakly said, "Xiaohe, I'm getting old."

"No! What's there to be old about? As long as we live, we will never stop striving!"

Cassian Cornelius said, "Xiao He, why don't you reconsider?"

Lin Xiaohe left without looking back.

I don’t want to listen, I don’t want to listen, it’s just a turtle chanting.

Comrades, for the sake of the Star Harvest Party and the new Stardust human civilization, let us give full play to our initiative and shine in our respective fields!

The giant whales escorted the three shuttles towards the sixth star ring.

Wherever they went, war raged, and countless planets wailed in despair under the Zerg's onslaught.
