Su Ruan coughed once, slightly adjusted the Light Brain’s cara, allowing Su Hu to see Lu Shinian standing beside her.
Su Hu, who had been laughing arrogantly just monts ago, suddenly froze.
On the screen, Lu Shinian looked at Su Hu with cold eyes, as if he was about to jump out from the screen the next second and fight him.
"Cough cough cough!" Su Hu coughed forcefully, pretending nothing had happened, and quickly said, "Um, sister, I just rembered I have sothing to do, I’ll hang up now, talk later!"
After speaking, Su Hu directly disconnected the video, as fast as though soone was chasing him.
Su Ruan: ...
She twitched the corner of her mouth, then looked at Lu Shinian and said, "Brother Lu, you didn’t hear anything just now."
Lu Shinian’s eyes flashed with a hint of a smile, agreeing, "Hmm, I didn’t hear anything."
Su Ruan quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, "I see that big brother’s condition is good, he should have used the Pure Energy Stone I sent over."
Fortunately, Lu Shinian had calculated this earlier, otherwise, she wouldn’t have known how to righteously give the Pure Energy Stone to big brother.
But now she can use the reason that he gave her the Pure Energy Stone, after all, it’s normal for Lu Shinian to have so Pure Energy Stones, given the many mining veins under his na, right?
Moreover, him giving her so many Pure Energy Stones can also make big brother assured that Lu Shinian treats her really well, it’s a perfect situation, isn’t it?
Su Ruan thought smilingly, her brows and eyes curved, the light fell upon her, draping her in a layer of gentle glow.
Lu Shinian stared fixedly at Su Ruan, as if he wanted to engrave her silhouette into the depths of his pupils.

Due to the interruption by the Lion Star Thief Group, Star River Star welcod a bustling period, spaceships traveling to Star River Star were packed with tourists, and the port was crowded every day.
When there are many people, incidents are likely to happen, fortunately, Zong Yan had arrived with the Second Legion to maintain order at the port, so nothing happened.
Soon, the sacrificial ceremony was approaching.
The night before the sacrificial ceremony, Lu Shinian received an ergency call from Vice Wang.
"Commander Lu, the Illusion Insect we previously retrieved from Zhang Shan is missing!"
Lu Shinian’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "What happened?"
Vice Wang also felt puzzled, "We obviously used special instrunts to lock that Illusion Insect, and we check on it every day."
"But a few minutes ago, when I ca to check, I found that Illusion Insect had vanished into thin air."
Lu Shinian frowned, "Conduct a full search, we must find that Illusion Insect."
That Illusion Insect is too strange, it could be part of an Insect Race plot, for the Federation’s sake, we must find that Illusion Insect.
Vice Wang quickly took the order to search.
After hanging up the video, Lu Shinian glanced at Su Ruan, who was focused on purifying Level 1 Energy Stones, and waited for a few minutes.
Only after she had purified one Energy Stone did Lu Shinian speak, "Ruan Ruan, I have an urgent matter and need to go out for a while."
Su Ruan had vaguely heard Vice Wang ntion the Illusion Insect, knowing it was urgent, she nodded, "You have a task, then go ahead."
Lu Shinian stood up, walked two steps outside, then quickly turned around and walked to Su Ruan, bowed his head, and lightly kissed her forehead.
"I’ll be back before the celebration starts."
Su Ruan lifted her small face, showing a big smile, her brows and eyes curved, sweet and obedient, "Hmm, I believe in you."
Her little finger hooked onto Lu Shinian’s little finger, her voice softened, yet her tone was very firm.
"My Brother Lu is omnipotent."
Lu Shinian’s throat moved, suppressing the urge to hold Su Ruan close, he responded lowly, "Hmm," and then quickly left.
Once he left, Su Ruan was idle once more.
Su Ruan, with nothing to do, started purifying Level 1 Energy Stones again, for future needs.
After purifying about a hundred, Su Ruan felt a sensation of her Spiritual Sea being drained, she then stopped, glanced at the ti, and went to bed early.
On the other side, Lu Shinian secretly ordered Vice Wang and others to trace the Illusion Insect’s whereabouts.
At this mont, Ye Qing had already contacted Ji Bai, offering a high price to have them trace the Illusion Insect.
Ye Qing and Ji Bai each work for their masters, although these masters are brothers, even brothers must account clearly, so this high price naturally has to be paid.
Out of consideration, Ji Bai still inford Second Master about this matter.
Upon hearing that his big brother was looking for an Illusion Insect, Second Master rarely raised an eyebrow, showing a teasing expression.
"Big brother lost the sister’s Illusion Insect?"
Ji Bai was still taken aback.
"That Illusion Insect belongs to Sister Su?"
Second Master smiled and nodded, "Third brother gave it to sister to play."
"Don’t know how it ended up in big brother’s hands."
Thinking of past events, Second Master’s expression softened a bit.
"Sister searched for it for a long ti, she ntioned it to twice when I went back."
Ji Bai looked at Second Master, who was obviously different from usual, slightly stunned, and asked instinctively, "Then why doesn’t Second Master bring the sister over?"
"With Second Master’s current power, protecting one person is more than enough."
Second Master snapped out of it, furrowed his brows slightly, and returned to his usual lazy deanor, "What’s it to you? Get to work quickly."
"Raise the price a bit, even though they are brothers, this money still needs to be earned."
Ji Bai hurriedly stood and responded, "Yes!"
Ji Bai took the order to trace the Illusion Insect’s whereabouts, while Second Master looked at the Light Brain on his left wrist, eyes lowering, [Xiao Si.]
Xiao Si: [I’m here~ Master, what’s the matter?]
[Did you already adjust my confidentiality level down?] Second Master asked.
Xiao Si responded aggrievedly: [Master, you don’t trust ! I adjusted it long ago!]
Second Master clicked his tongue lightly, a dark light flashed in his eyes, [You’ve adjusted it, yet Lu Shinian still hasn’t found out my true identity?]
If Lu Shinian doesn’t investigate his true identity, how can he publicly reunite with sister?
Lu Shinian seems reliable on the surface, but now he’s doing rather unreliable things?
Second Master’s eyes darkened slightly, [Go and ss with Lu Shinian’s system, I rember it’s 003, right?]
Xiao Si: [It’s people’s third brother~]
[Hmm, go ss with it, let it trace my true identity.] Second Master ordered.
Xiao Si: [Third brother is very perceptive, if I ss with it, I will surely be exposed.]
Xiao Si’s tone beca serious, [Master, are you sure you need to ss with third brother?]
Second Master crossed his hands, rubbing his thumb at the web of his hand.
After being silent for a few seconds, he responded: [Forget it, this matter is postponed.]
Xiao Si’s existence, for now, cannot be exposed.
Xiao Si quickly responded: [Okay, Master.]
[You may leave.] Second Master said rarely irritably.
He pinched the bridge of his nose, eyes carrying a few shadows of gloom.
