Even if Su Ruan were any slower on the uptake, she’d know sothing’s odd with her.
Originally, she thought it was because of the spiritual power changes from the decades in the Otherworld. After all, by the end of the Otherworld, her spiritual power was practically invincible.
Although in the Otherworld, they don’t call that mystical power spiritual power but "Divine Power". In any case, before her rebirth, she was a very powerful existence, otherwise, she wouldn’t have succeeded in researching the Forbidden Technique.
But now her constitution has also changed, doesn’t this an she herself is extrely unusual?
Su Ruan inexplicably recalled ten years ago, when she sohow returned to Tianhe Star from Musse Star, her third brother forced her to swear on the lives of her parents and brothers that she wouldn’t leave Tianhe Star before adulthood, otherwise, her parents and brothers would die a terrible death.
She had cried bitterly as she made that poisonous oath.
Since then, she had never seen her third brother again.
Did her third brother know sothing back then?
Su Ruan’s long lashes quivered lightly, she whispered, "If only I could find third brother."
"Your third brother?" Lu Shinian lowered his eyes, "Cheng Qingye?"
Su Ruan nodded, "I believe he’s still alive."
Lu Shinian’s eyes flickered slightly, he acknowledged with a low "hmm".
Thinking carefully, the death of his friend back then indeed seed too strange.
Would soone as cold and aloof as him venture into the Insect Race’s territory alone just to save soone?
"I investigated it last ti." Lu Shinian said softly, "There was no trace of him."
After a pause, he added, "Within the range I could investigate."
Su Ruan knew the Federation’s power was now scattered, and Lu Shinian’s investigation was limited, so she said more confidently, "So he must still be alive."
"Did he know about Ruan Ruan’s anomaly?" Lu Shinian queried.
Su Ruan wasn’t too sure either, "Earlier, third brother forced to swear not to leave Tianhe Star before adulthood."
"I think he probably knew, right?"
Otherwise, why wouldn’t he let her leave Tianhe Star?
According to normal parents and brother’s thinking, by sixteen, one must be preparing for college entrance exams.
Tianhe Star only has middle schools, not even high schools, let alone universities.
If there’s even a bit of money on Tianhe Star, as soon as a child turns sixteen, the family would urgently prepare for exams on various major planets, but at that ti, third brother had no such notion of letting her attend college.
It’s not just third brother, even the eldest and second brothers never ntioned attending college.
Otherwise, with her grades on Tianhe Star, she could have gone to university at eighteen, no need to delay until now when she’s twenty, just starting her freshman year.
It just so happens that she’s in the sa year as Shen Shi, who stayed behind two grades.
If it weren’t for the Shen Family taking her back, she might never have gone to college in her lifeti.
"By the way, where’s the second brother?" Su Ruan said, getting up as she prepared to find Su Heyuan, "Maybe the second brother knows sothing."
Lu Shinian grabbed Su Ruan’s arm, stopping her actions.
"Ruan Ruan, rest well at ho."
"You’ve just absorbed the Physical Energy Liquid, you should rest well."
Lu Shinian’s voice lowered, with an almost hypnotic quality in the empty room.
Su Ruan felt a montary daze, and the next second, sleepiness surged.
She let out a big yawn and sat back on the bed.
"Okay," she obediently replied, laying down and covering herself with the quilt, exposing only her eyes before speaking again, "Then co back early, okay?"
Lu Shinian murmured an "hmm", bent down, and gently planted a kiss on her forehead.
"Ruan Ruan, be good, sleep now."
An invisible spiritual power surrounded Su Ruan.
Su Ruan slowly closed her eyes, and in seconds, her breathing beca long and steady.
Lu Shinian withdrew his spiritual power, his temples throbbing slightly.
Without a sound, he adjusted the quilt for Su Ruan before getting up and leaving quietly.
After locking the door from the outside, Lu Shinian left and drove a levitating car to the Military Departnt.
At the office door, Su Heyuan was already waiting.
Lu Shinian glanced at him and opened the door.
Su Heyuan walked in unceremoniously and asked casually, "Is sister asleep?"
"Hmm." Lu Shinian locked the door from the inside, activated privacy mode, and bluntly said, "You’re hiding sothing from her."
Su Heyuan stood silently there, not speaking.
He wasn’t sure if Lu Shinian was trying to trick him.
Lu Shinian didn’t seem surprised by his reaction and made another statent.
"Cheng Qingye is her third brother."
Su Heyuan slightly raised his eyes, seemingly surprised to look at Lu Shinian.
Lu Shinian continued, "Cheng Qingye’s so-called death in battle was a faked death, wasn’t it?"
Though phrased as a question, it was said with certainty.
Su Heyuan curled his lips, the pupils hidden behind his glasses constricted into a narrow line.
"Commander Lu, indeed worthy of his position, has investigated to such an extent."
Exceeding his expectations, yet sohow within reason.
He adjusted his glasses and stared directly at Lu Shinian.
"And what else? What else does Commander Lu know?"
Lu Shinian’s aura surged, his intimidating spiritual power pressing towards Su Heyuan, almost suffocating him.
After a simple warning, Lu Shinian spoke, "Su Hu was deed a traitor because he passed information to Cheng Qingye, set up by the Second Legion."
This matter was shared by Zong Yan, who drunkenly grabbed him and insisted on talking about this, apologizing and saying if it weren’t for Su Hu passing wrong intelligence to Cheng Qingye, he wouldn’t have died.
Yet Zong Yan and Su Hu had been very good brothers, he resented Su Hu for betraying the Second Legion, but in the end, he didn’t want him to go to military court, so he rcilessly expelled him from the Second Legion.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Qingye’s death was faked, and Su Hu simply took advantage and left the Second Legion.
Su Heyuan’s expression grew serious.
He half-lowered his eyes, seeming nonchalant, he removed the glasses perched on his nose, revealing a pair of long eyes with a hint of coldness.
His pupils constricted into fine slits, not the kind of constricted pupils shown out of terror, but cold vertical pupils like those of a snake.
The spiritual power of a 2S strong person spread throughout the office.
The whole office felt oppressive and cramped.
"Heh."
Su Heyuan chuckled lightly.
"Truly worthy of you, Lu Shinian." Arrogant and provoking, wild and unreasonable.
Their gazes t in the air, their spiritual powers collided invisibly, and they spoke simultaneously.
"If you weren’t my sister’s husband, I would’ve..." Killed you long ago.
"If you weren’t Ruan Ruan’s second brother, I would’ve..." Killed you long ago.
Only the dead can keep secrets, a consensus among all, a thod they both employ.
