Lu Shinian and Su Hu simultaneously looked towards the door.
No one moved first.
The knocking intensified, urgent, accompanied by a familiar female voice faintly coming from outside.
"Brother Lu?"
Hearing his sister’s voice, Su Hu struggled to sit up, pulled out a mask and wig from the space button, put them on, and said in a low voice, "Commander Lu, please don’t tell my sister I’m the Star Thief Leader."
He lowered his head, showing a pleading gesture to Lu Shinian for the first ti, "Consider it a favor I owe you."
Lu Shinian gave him a cold glance and asked on behalf of Su Ruan, "Why?"
"It’s a family matter. Anyway, Commander Lu, I’m begging you." Su Hu bent over, "As long as you agree, I will imdiately withdraw from Star River Star."
This was probably the first ti Su Hu had shown such a sincere gesture, making Lu Shinian look at him again.
He nodded slightly, signaling his agreent.
Not telling didn’t an Ruan Ruan couldn’t find out for herself, he hadn’t said a word.
Su Hu, seeing his agreent, murmured, "Thank you, Commander Lu."
After speaking, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, opened the door, and smiled arrogantly, "Yo, isn’t this the Commander’s Wife?"
He seemingly took a asure of Su Ruan, clicking his tongue lightly, "So skinny and frail."
"Looks like Commander Lu is neglecting you."
Su Ruan looked at the masked Su Hu, then at Lu Shinian standing not far away, frowning slightly.
The air still carried a faint scent of blood, and the room bore signs of a struggle; the two must have fought fiercely here, though who won was unclear.
Compared to Lu Shinian, who hadn’t even ssed up his hair, Su Hu was noticeably more disheveled.
Su Ruan stared at Su Hu and spoke, "Are you hurt?"
Su Hu let out another arrogant laugh, not forgetting to glance at Lu Shinian, and said provocatively, "Commander Lu, you’re not doing a great job as a man. The Commander’s Wife is concerned first about whether I’m injured, rather than worrying about you."
"Hahaha! Commander Lu, are you not up to par?"
Su Hu said this, flicking his wig which nearly fell off, but he swiftly caught it, pressing it down as he loudly said, "Looks like I’ve got more charm."
Su Ruan: ...
Could it be that the Ancestral Stage has made my brother’s brain dull, and now he’s speaking nonsense?
Su Hu didn’t know that Su Ruan had long been aware that he was the Star Thief Leader. He was still pretending, taking a look at Su Ruan and shaking his head as if admonishing with impatience, "Alright, alright, I know you’re here to find Commander Lu."
"I won’t be an eyesore here; you guys chat! Rember to leave quickly after you’re done, because I’m taking off with my starship later."
Saying this, Su Hu quickly strode outside, and as he passed by Su Ruan, a gentle expression flashed across the face hidden beneath his mask.
This was his sister, the little sister he’d watched grow up bit by bit, but now they couldn’t openly acknowledge each other.
If his enemies found out Su Ruan was his sister, he didn’t dare gamble on Lu Shinian being able to fully protect her. If anything happened to his sister because of him, dying a thousand tis wouldn’t be enough.
So, it wasn’t the ti yet, at least not now.
Su Hu hurriedly passed by Su Ruan and disappeared quickly.
"Big..." Su Ruan barely managed to speak, when Su Hu was already far away.
She could only turn back to Lu Shinian and ask, "What happened to my brother?"
Wounded, yet running so fast?
Lu Shinian took a long stride, went to Su Ruan’s side, and naturally took her small hand, intertwining their fingers, then finally replied, "Maybe he got too excited seeing you."
He lowered his gaze, but his mind was also pondering Su Hu’s reaction.
"He agreed to withdraw, let’s head back first."
Su Ruan pursed her lips, a hint of grievance erging between her brows, "I haven’t even talked to my brother much yet."
After a mont, she collected her grievance and agreed, "Let’s head back first."
Lu Shinian had been on this starship for too long, inevitably causing suspicion from others.
The Star Network was already in an uproar; she had noticed the buzz upon arriving, people on the network speculating that Lu Shinian had entered the Lion Star Thief Group’s starship for negotiations.
Considering the ti, it had been nearly two hours, it was indeed ti to conclude.
Su Ruan followed Lu Shinian and soon boarded the military ship, returning to Star River Star.
Not long after they left, the Lion Star Thief Group’s starship, originally stationed outside Star River Star, also departed.
The Lion Star Thief Group didn’t provide any explanation on the Star Network for this peculiar behavior, allowing gossip to flourish without a word of response.
The heated discussion didn’t halt due to the Lion Star Thief Group’s silence. Gossipers and professional dia shifted focus to Lu Shinian, the Third Legion’s commander who spent hours on the Lion Star Thief Group’s starship for negotiations.
Despite Lu Shinian’s illustrious battle achievents, effortlessly driving off the Lion Star Thief Group without a troop maneuver left many in awe.
Everyone was extrely curious about what Lu Shinian actually did on the starship to make the interstellar’s top Star Thief Group obediently leave.
So when Lu Shinian disembarked from the military ship, he was imdiately surrounded by the dia.
He stood on the ship, calmly and composedly blocking the door, shielding Su Ruan’s attempt to disembark, while closing the door, responding to dia queries slowly and steadily.
On the military ship, Su Ruan obediently sat back down.
Outside was the dia’s fervent and noisy clamor; through the door, she couldn’t hear clearly, only picking up vague murmurs.
Su Ruan listened intently for a couple of sentences before realizing she couldn’t hear properly, then redirected her attention, and looked down at her light brain, sending her brother a ssage.
[Big brother, where’s your address? I’ll send so energy stones to you.]
Not knowing how her brother’s Ancestral Stage condition was doing, and guessing he got injured today fighting with Lu Shinian, it seed prudent to send so energy stones over.
Su Hu quickly sent over an address, which was an address on a dium-sized planet, presumably their base.
Su Ruan took a glance and swiftly replied, [Okay, I’ll send it over as soon as possible; big brother, take care of yourself.]
On the Lion Star Thief Group’s starship, Su Hu looked at the ssage from his sister and chuckled, boasting to Ye Qing opposite him, "My sister said she wants to send energy stones; my sister is so good to ."
Ye Qing frowned, worried, watching Su Hu who had just erged from the dical pod, "Leader, your body..."
Su Hu waved his hand, "I’m fine."
"Lu Shinian was harsh, but didn’t use more than four moves; probably still considered his brother-in-law, haha!"
"Who knew Lu Shinian wouldn’t admit it verbally, but still considers his brother-in-law deep down!"
