Gu Ningyi didn't even hesitate; his expression just softened a bit, and he said in a calm tone, "Everyone has their own path. I just chose a slightly more winding one. But the goal is the same. Who says that being a son of the Gu Family means wasting one's life in the Military Department, living like father did all his life? He has the majesty and fame of an Admiral, but he's also tightly bound by these reputations and responsibilities."
"To guard what I want to protect doesn't necessarily mean following the military path. Father is an Admiral, but his life is also confined within the Human Alliance, even leaving the stationed planet to see other places is a mere fantasy." Gu Ningyi rarely spoke so candidly, "Second brother wants to traverse the galaxy, how could I not want to see the broader landscapes of the universe?"
