"You see, after he had an idea, the first person he contacted was , the guide, the ntor, without any intention of communicating with his mother. Rage Owl Star always needs a governor, and since he has now made so achievents, why not give him a bit more confidence? There might be new rewards to reap. The cost has already been paid, so it doesn't matter to pay a little bit more.
The battle they won is indeed very useful. What if this kid really makes it? By then, he can only rely on , and I will have a mber of the Gu Family who serves wholeheartedly."
Hearing this, Pei Desi fell silent for a mont before suddenly laughing as if he had thought of sothing very amusing: "That would be quite entertaining. I'm actually quite looking forward to seeing Wang Qi's son kneel down and kiss your boots. What would she feel like watching from the side?"
Pei Desi was sowhat helpless; he turned around, stared at his brother, and said nothing.
After a while, Pei Desi finally spread his hands: "Alright, alright, it was just a joke. I know now is not the ti to provoke that woman. I won't look for trouble anymore."
After speaking, he added: "At least not recently."
Pei Desi was also helpless; he shook his head and said no more to his brother.

Elsewhere on Flying Wing Star.
This was a manor belonging to the Gu Family, and now Wang Qi lived here.
It didn't compare to the Tianma Palace's majesty and luxury, like a paradise on earth, but it had its own unique charm.
At the mont, the lady of the house, Wang Qi, was reading a letter:
"Mother, I hope this letter finds you well."
"When I left ho in a huff, I wanted to make a na for myself."
"Now, it has been half a year since I left; fortunately, with the help of heaven, I have achieved so results."
"You must have heard about the star battle. Although I lacked strong ships and powerful cannons, I managed to lead a reliable army based on my actions on Rage Owl Star in the past six months, overcoming the Beastman Overlord, reversing the tide of battle, and securing victory."
"In these six months, although I haven't completely taken control of the planet, I genuinely rule over a million people and have established an army of one hundred thousand. Under my governance, various industries are thriving, flourishing. The systems I've instituted ensure the million people attached to have clothing and food, with pay for their work."
"I have not received any support from the family since starting this endeavor, but I am not worried about the first tax collection in a year and a half; and I believe there won't be any problems paying the full taxes three and a half years from now.
Rage Owl Star will gradually beco a normal Empire World, and I will firmly secure the position of the ninth Military Governor of the Tianma Star Sector."
"But this is not the end, it's the beginning. I once told a subordinate that I would make Rage Owl Star as productive as a Foundry World, and as beautiful as a Garden World. This is my goal, and I am still firmly committed to it. Mother, do you believe in ?"
"Perhaps the goal is still far off, perhaps you still think of this as the delusions of an incapable, foolish son. But I am confident I am on the right path."
"I am not as you thought, soone who could just be a worthy successor like my father; nor do I want to be content with the family's wealth. Fortunately, a rash decision six months ago has led to my own endeavor, which has no ties to the Gu Clan."
"You might think that I am saying all this to show off, to respond to the things you said to the last ti we t, and I won't deny that."
"But I want to say more, in these six months I have gone through a lot, and my thinking has changed greatly. I will start to reflect on the uselessness and reckless foolishness of my forr self. Those resentnts, essentially stem from my incapability and stupidity. When I left, your assessnt was correct."
"But now, I have realized: accepting the appointnt to beco the governor of Rage Owl Star was harmful to the family, a severe blow to your years of hard work in upholding the family business left by my grandfather and father, and it also put in a situation where a rescue would cost dearly, and no rescue would an losing my life."
"My fortune lies in a wrong decision leading to a more correct path."
"Mother, I am not seeking your forgiveness, as I am walking my own path, which is not a mistake and needs no forgiveness. But I have let go of the baseless grudges and will look at the past more calmly."
"Your assessnt was correct about the past . But as for the current , the future , whether it is right, please watch from countless light-years away."
"Let's see if I can indeed surpass my ancestors, achieving a greater legacy."
"By then, I hope you can give another assessnt, which I will gladly receive."
"— Governor of Rage Owl Star, Gu Hang, your son."

The letter was not very long, nor did it talk about anything specific, yet Wang Qi still read it for a long ti.
Through the lines, she could see that in the first half, a young man was proudly boasting to his mother about his achievents, saying that her previous 'incompetent, stupid' assessnt was the foolish one.
But in the middle section, she saw a man who had beco steady and settled, admitting his mistakes while keeping his spine straight. He was reflecting on the past, admitting that his lack of thorough thinking led to wrong decisions, yet also feeling fortunate for his good luck.
Being able to recognize one's errors and to learn from reflection, that was already good enough, it was the highest expectation Wang Qi had in the past.
Yet at the end, she saw change again. It was as if she saw an entrepreneur full of vitality, telling her about his grand ideals, then coolly turning around and leaving, following the path in his heart with determination.
Wang Qi had not expected at all that Gu Hang would write such a letter.
Mother knows best, and by her understanding of her son, Gu Hang most likely would never write a letter until his death;
If he did write, it would probably say sothing like, 'You must be happy I'm dead,' 'As you wished, from now on, there will be no stupid, incompetent son to embarrass you' and so on.
In a very small chance, perhaps her son would have written a letter in tears, admitting his wrongs and begging his mother to save him, in the face of the fear of death.
Although, no matter what, Wang Qi would ultimately try to save him. He was her flesh and blood, her only lineage, how could she truly not care?
However, that did not change the disappointnt in her heart, and perhaps in the future, she might keep him under house arrest, find him a wife, and have them quickly produce a grandson.
If he ssed up the main account, find a way to train a 'sub account,' and then let the grandson directly inherit the family business, letting Gu Hang go off and play.
She was indeed planning to do exactly that, even starting to look for a daughter-in-law with good genes.
But this letter made her fundantally change her mind.
After reading the letter, Wang Qi's heart was almost overwheld by satisfaction, solidifying into a shallow smile on her face.
But besides relief, her feelings were also very complicated.
After being steeped in plots and intrigues for a long ti, she instinctively doubted whether the letter was truly written by Gu Hang himself, or if it really expressed Gu Hang's sincere thoughts?
Was it possible that Pei Desi, that sly fox, had concocted so sche, found an expert to fool her son, and taught him to write such a letter to deceive and ambush an old woman like her? To cloud her judgnt with maternal affection?
But this likelihood was low, because along with the letter ca another one from Wang Jiarong. Her niece talked in her letter about how her cousin had greatly changed; the six months at Rage Owl Star had made him different. Moreover, the letter was penned in her presence, with no one instructing him.
Even if it were truly so ploy, Wang Qi had to admit that she would be duped.
What mother wouldn't feel proud upon seeing her son's growth?

This chapter is 7,300 characters long, about three and a half chapters' worth.
I'm not brief.
The additional update is not for anything else; it just feels better to write this part in one go.
So readers might find it uninteresting, but I think it's very important. The content of the last two days didn't involve battles, but it shouldn't be considered trivial, right?
Mainly, it covered: 1. Gu Hang fighting for the fruits of war, 2. Explanation of the interstellar background and the protagonist's background, these were already in the outline, but because the previous story didn't involve interstellar it wasn't ntioned, now it has to be addressed. 3. Elaboration on emotions.
I hope everyone likes it.
Starting tomorrow, the protagonist will go back to farming, beginning to unify the planet.
