Although he already had many contribution points, Lin Su, having grown up in hardship, subconsciously thought about saving so…
Was it because of this that Nan discovered the problem?
His expression gradually beca troubled.
Although Nan had always been kind to him, the ability to traverse between two worlds was his biggest secret, and he couldn't possibly reveal it.
So how should he explain it…
"Alright, don't bother thinking about how to explain it to ." Seemingly discerning Lin Su's thoughts, Qin Nan casually sipped her iced coffee and spoke as if it were an offhand remark, "Everyone has secrets. As long as you aren't involved with the Beast Society, I can't be bothered to pry."
"That's certainly not possible." Lin Su shook his head vigorously, sat up straight with a determined expression, and a glint of hatred flashed in his eyes, "My parents left this world because of the beast tide, and I have irreconcilable differences with the forces of Immortal Country!"
Although he was only two or three years old at the ti, the image of his biological parents sacrificing themselves in the beast tide to protect him was still fixed in his mory.
This was also one of the few clear mories Lin Su had of his biological parents.
Although the species were mostly the sa, Lin Su's attitude toward the beasts of Blue Star and those of Shenwu were completely different from the start.
"That's good then." Qin Nan's eyes showed a bit more satisfaction, "Coincidentally, I also harbor a deep grudge against the Beast Society."
"Let's not talk about this." She ntioned Lin Su's secret so casually yet seed utterly indifferent as she switched the topic back to Qiuqiu, "This pet beast of yours, its regular energy level is already at the Elite · Monarch echelon, right? But previously, Xiao Yu tested it, and it seems it cannot use Monarch Power, so is it a high-energy Guardian species?"
"Yes." Lin Su pressed down the turmoil in his heart and nodded, "Its regular energy level was already very high when I first encountered it, but it is indeed of the Guardian species."
"Quite interesting." Qin Nan's eyes glead with eagerness, but glancing at the sky and then at Lin Su's exhausted expression, she sighed softly, "Never mind, you had a tough practical assessnt today, let's not overdo it. Bring this little fellow to the research institute tomorrow, I'll test its various abilities. It'll be good for submitting as the initial species paraters."
"Sure!" Lin Su nodded, his gaze nervously flicking to Qin Nan.
He was now terrified that Qin Nan would suddenly blurt out more of his secrets.
"Heh…" Seeing Lin Su's nervous deanor, Qin Nan chuckled lightly, drank her coffee in one gulp, placed the empty can on the table, "It's getting late, I'll be leaving."
Was Nan finally leaving?
Lin Su quietly breathed a sigh of relief, "Nan, shall I walk you out?"
"No need." Qin Nan waved her hand and walked straight out the door.
"Click."
The door gently closed, and Qin Nan, stepping out of Lin Su's dormitory, entered the transport elevator and pinched her chin.
Lin Su had many secrets.
He was inexperienced, and many of his plans were not perfect, always showing so minor flaws. As Lin Su's ntor, she could see the problems that he inadvertently exposed—people could hardly notice, but not her.
When she discovered an issue with Qiuqiu's evolution before, Qin Nan was thinking of giving Lin Su a hint to be more cautious, but after so thought, she decided against it. Instead, she chose to act as though she knew nothing, silently covering for him.
With Lin Su revealing more unusual signs recently, she had no choice but to step in.
It was no big deal that she had uncovered his secrets; her nature was such and she didn't like probing into others' secrets. However, if soone else discovered those… this kid could be in big trouble.
Not only the Beast Society, even within the alliance, not everyone was as easy-going as she was.
Having given him these hints today, the kid should learn to be more careful, right?
Having such an interesting kid, she wanted to see if Lin Su could co up with more interesting research findings.
As for the origins of these findings…
Do they matter?
If they benefit the alliance, that's enough.
…
"Phew!"
It wasn't until Qin Nan had been gone for a while that Lin Su finally exhaled deeply, collapsing weakly onto the couch.
"w~" (It's okay~)
Qiuqiu ca closer and gently nuzzled Lin Su's cheek.
It knew just how nervous Lin Su had been, and now it hurried over to soothe his mood.
Back when Lin Su was a Beast Tar apprentice who couldn't afford a starter beast, Qiuqiu had t Lin Su, so it knew his situation far better than Qiuqiu and naturally understood what Lin Su was worried about.
"It should be alright." Lin Su gave a bitter smile.
Only at this mont did he start to feel sowhat fearful.
It seed that the arrangents he had made to conceal his cross-world Golden Finger had long been seen through by Qin Nan.
Clearly, Qin Nan didn't intend to pursue it; otherwise, she could have taken action a month ago when Qiuqiu's evolution anomaly was detected.
If soone with malicious intent had learned of these secrets…
Just the thought made Lin Su's heart wrench.
It seed that covering his anomalies with research findings needed to be handled with even greater caution in the future.
Regaining his composure and recalling Qin Nan's casual ntion of his secret, it was clear that Nan intended to remind him of this fact.
This world was not secure, to say the least. Not long ago, the Beast Society, who had attacked him, would spare no effort if they learned of his secrets.
