Chapter 119

~8 min read 1,444 words

After this, the Federation would no longer sit idly by and would inevitably take the management rights of Ancient Humans into their own hands. By then, whether she would face the situation of losing her freedom again was all unknown.

Qiao Suisui lowered her eyelids, making the men present not know what she was thinking.

Ka'er couldn't watch it anymore, frowned and said to the men: "Why are you putting all the pressure on her? If you are men, think of a way to solve it!"

Laiboli didn't like him and retorted directly: "Then you just hijack the prison, use that talent of yours, and bring the person out directly. Aren't you powerful?"

Ka'er sneered and said disdainfully: "Hijack then, do you think I don't dare?"

Qiao Suisui had a headache from their arguing. Just as she was at her wit's end, Sang Yan spoke.

"If you trust me, you can let Sui Sui join the Freedom Alliance."

As soon as these words came out, the whole living room became quiet.

Luka and Laiboli looked at him at the same time. Sang Yan's gaze was very sincere, and he continued: "If she continues to stay in Ausilan, do you have the confidence to protect her all the time? I believe no one understands the mediation and checks and balances in this better than you. But no matter how long the Federation's hands are, they are limited to its member countries."

Qiao Suisui's heart moved, but it didn't show on her face. She looked at Sang Yan and said: "But how do I know that the Freedom Alliance won't be another 'Federation'? They know my identity, won't they restrict my freedom in the name of protection?"

Sang Yan shook his head, his gaze firm, and said to her: "I swear in the name of the Shoushen, there, no one will force you to do anything you don't want to do. If anyone hurts you, I will definitely not let him go easily. If I break this oath, I am willing to mortgage my soul to you and be abandoned by the gods forever."

The men present were silenced by the weight of the oath. Although they didn't grow up in the Freedom Alliance, the status of the Shoushen in their hearts was inviolable. But Qiao Suisui, a materialist from the modern world, didn't feel much. Compared to Sang Yan's oath, she actually trusted his character more.

"I believe you." Qiao Suisui said.

"Sui Sui!" Laiboli half-knelt in front of her, no longer the toughness just now. He had red eyes, grabbed her wrist, and asked: "Are you really going to leave me? What about the children, what about the children? Don't you want us anymore?"

Qiao Suisui closed her eyes with some fatigue, and finally only said one sentence: "Let me think about it carefully." Then she went straight upstairs.

In the living room, the men were still sitting silently.

Luka didn't say a word. Clearly indoors, his shoulders seemed to be covered with frost. At this moment, except for desolation, nothing was left on his face.

He thought distractedly, perhaps the reason he had been slow to tell her... was that he was afraid of facing this situation, afraid of knowing that she could abandon herself for someone else. He had never competed, actually, he was afraid of the answer... When he and another person were placed on the balance of her heart, which end was lighter and which was heavier?

Ka'er scratched his head irritably, "tsk"ed, and scratched his red hair like a chicken coop. How he wished he didn't have to be bound by the Federation's obligations. Pestering her, going somewhere together, no matter what they did, it would be fine.

Laiboli pushed Luka's shoulder, the anger in his eyes couldn't be hidden, and said: "She listens to you the most, why didn't you stop her? As long as you speak, she definitely won't have the heart to refuse."

Luka's eyebrows carried desolation, and he smiled bitterly: "Since we all know she won't have the heart to refuse, why do we have to use emotions to kidnap her? Ashi, don't be stupid. No one can stop what she really wants to do in her heart."

Laiboli was stunned on the spot, his hands clenched into fists, and a sense of unwillingness surged into his heart.

He turned to leave, but was stopped by Luka.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm going to ask her clearly, what is so good about that madman that makes her worth doing this!"

"Stop making trouble!"

Luka couldn't pull him back. Laiboli didn't care about anyone when he was emotional and was about to go upstairs. Ka'er rolled his eyes on the sofa. Sang Yan kindly stepped forward to persuade, but was pushed away by Laiboli.

"It's all you! What kind of bullshit proposal! You're just doing it for your own selfish desires, wanting to coax her to your territory? Dream on!"

Laiboli and Sang Yan started to fight. Ka'er "tsk"ed, got up impatiently to pull them apart.

The first floor was suddenly in a mess.

Upstairs. Qiao Suisui's back leaned against the cold wall, vaguely hearing the quarrel coming from below, and a sense of helplessness that no one could tell about all the thoughts swept over.

She slowly squatted down, hugged herself, and leaned her head on her knees. Suddenly, the light brain prompt sounded, and the screen light illuminated her face in the dark room.

【Celebrate Zhang Fei's discharge!】

Attached is a selfie of Li Yi pulling Anubis. It looks like Li Yi used Anubis's light brain to send it.

Qiao Suisui thought for a while about who Zhang Fei was, and only after coming back to her senses did she realize she had already laughed out loud.

She clicked on the photo and saw the calm young man in the photo. Lanze's words appeared in her mind again, especially the sentence "stripping flesh and removing bones", and she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart.

She buried her head in her knees and let out a long sigh, seemingly wanting to use this method to spit out all the heaviness of today. After a while, Anubis's voice suddenly appeared in the room.

"Hello?"

Qiao Suisui only then realized that she had accidentally touched the light brain just now and called directly.

"Qiao?"

"Ah, um..." Qiao Suisui hurriedly turned on the voice-changing pill, then said: "I, I want to congratulate you on your discharge."

The opposite side was quiet for a few seconds, and then a low and magnetic voice sounded: "Did something happen?"

"Nothing... just, a bit tired today..."

Anubis pushed away Li Yi who was eavesdropping on the side, walked to a farther place, clenched the light brain in his hand, and said: "If there is anything that can't be solved, you can tell me."

After speaking, he didn't hear the answer from the opposite side. Anubis listened quietly to her breathing, and didn't urge, as if accompanying her in a unique way.

After a long while, her voice came from the light brain: "If, I mean if... there is someone who is particularly good to you, but often puts you under a lot of pressure, and he has encountered trouble now, you really want to help him, but you must abandon other things, would you choose to help?"

"That depends on what is being abandoned."

"What if it's someone equally important to you that you have to abandon?"

Anubis was silent for a while, looked up at the moon in the sky, and said: "If it's a very important person, then I wouldn't consider this option."

Qiao Suisui also walked to the window at this time, pushed open the window to get some air, the moonlight sprinkled on her, and her eyes were confused.

The two people holding the light brain were looking at the same moon at the same time.

"Then what if I just return to the original world..." She finished speaking and then came back to her senses, estimating that Anubis didn't understand what she was talking about at all, laughed at herself bitterly, and sighed: "Forget it, I don't know what I'm talking about..."

"Qiao."

His voice was firm and powerful, and when he called her name, it carried an imperceptible tenderness.

"Remember, no matter what decision you make in the end, I unconditionally stand on your side."

Qiao Suisui was stunned. At this moment, the clear light of the moon sprinkled on her bit by bit, gently wrapping her. Also injected with warmth was her confused heart.

This night, she made a decision.
