Chapter 13: Passive skill

"Mr. Aiven, what's the matter?" The butler was called Aiven; the manservants usually respected him very much, and Suisui also followed them and called him that.

Aiven had a worried expression, saying in a dilemma: "The people from the Investigation Bureau came and said to invite the lady to go back with them. Because your identity is special, they received orders to protect you and go to a better place to live."

Qiao Suisui frowned, "So sudden?"

"Yes. It is said that the master has already been notified."

"Did Luka also agree to let me go with them?"

Aiven's brows, which were originally worried, relaxed upon hearing this, and he smiled kindly: "This is certain, the master is a Colonel in the Military Department after all; although the Investigation Bureau and the Military Department are independent, they have to notify the master first anyway, after all, no one wants to offend the Sikesaisi family."

She looked at the several tall men standing in front of the warship; they saw Suisui's gaze, immediately knelt on one knee with their left hand on their shoulder, and even a few of them secretly looked up to size her up.

"What will happen if I don't go with them?"

Aiven's smile widened: "An order from the Federation, even the master cannot disobey; I believe you definitely won't make it difficult for the master."

She said 'um,' then put on an innocent smile. "Is that so? Then I'll go back and pack up and come."

She turned around, her expression immediately becoming guarded, just walked out but was blocked by Aiven first.

"Miss Suisui, do you have any personal items?"

Hearing him add the word 'personal' without a trace, Qiao Suisui immediately understood that this was a reminder that everything she had here was given to her by Luka.

"How about this, whatever you need, just order me, I will prepare it for you."

Seeing Aiven block the words, not giving her a chance to slip back to report to Luka at all, she had to smile and say: "Then I trouble you, bring all the clothes Laiboli bought for me before, I like them very much. Oh, and the ice silk bedding Luka sent, there are also... in my drawer..." Qiao Suisui rambled on a lot, until she saw a crack in the perfect smile on Aiven's face, then gradually stopped, "Remembered it? There are many things, why don't I..."

Aiven interrupted immediately: "You sit in the garden for a while." Then turned to order the manservants to pack everything in her room quickly and send it to the flying ship.

During the wait, wherever Qiao Suisui went, Aiven followed. She touched her wrist, turned the pearl to call the emergency contact mode of the light-brain; the light-brain would automatically call Laiboli, waited for a while, only to find the call failed. Looking down, it turned out the signal had been shielded.

Suisui sat on the stone steps and lowered her eyes to think.

The security system of the palace was of a very high level; except for the authorized person, others couldn't open the door from the outside at all; now that these people could come in, it meant someone opened the door for them from the inside. Are they really people from the Federation Investigation Bureau? Her being brought to the garden, the shielded signal, the strong Aiven—everything was too coincidental.

She couldn't go with these people; although Luka was hot and cold to her, he at least saved her, and could be trusted for the time being, but these people were different. But as long as Aiven was there, it didn't look like he would let her stay... what to do.

【System, what props can I use?】

【Current reward: 0, points: 0.】

【Then you just watch me possibly being in danger?】

【No danger detected.】

Qiao Suisui gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, giving up communication.

Time passed second by second, and her heart became more and more anxious. Seeing that the manservants had already moved all the items onto the flying ship, some of them who were usually on good terms with her looked at Qiao Suisui from time to time, showing worry.

Suddenly, her eyes flashed with a bright light.

Aiven came to urge again: "Miss Suisui, please board the ship."

She dawdled to the elevator and said: "I want to wait for Luka to come back, at least thank him face-to-face for taking care of me during this time."

Before Aiven could speak, a two-meter-tall man in military uniform walked over, his attitude respectful to her: "Colonel Sikesaisi is currently at the bureau, you can go with us first, and there will be an opportunity to arrange for the two to meet later."

"Where are you taking me?"

"Ancient Human Research Center, Dr. Zongfang is already waiting for you above. The journey takes five or six days, but don't worry, a chef and medical team have been prepared for you on the flying ship, so daily life will not be a problem."

Afterward, she asked a few more questions, and the man answered them all with a good attitude, sounding like there was no danger, and would even let her get good care, but her intuition told her she couldn't leave.

Aiven urged again: "Miss Suisui, I wish you a smooth journey."

She clenched her skirt and stepped onto the elevator under everyone's gaze, and the Federation people followed closely.

Light and shadow floated, and soon, the elevator rose to the cabin door.

Accompanied by the 'ding—' sound of the door opening, Qiao Suisui sighed.

Can only bet on it!

She didn't hesitate for a second, rushed out of the elevator door directly, and jumped down from the top of the giant flying ship.

"SUISUI!!!!!!!!!!"

Luka's heart-wrenching voice came from above the sky of Leguo Palace.

At the same time, a prompt sounded in Qiao Suisui's mind: 【Passive skill activated due to sudden danger.】

The whole process of Qiao Suisui jumping down was done in one go, just in the blink of an eye.

It was really too fast! The Federation people couldn't catch her at all! Among them, the man who reacted the fastest only touched a piece of her clothing.

The surprised expressions of the crowd were still on their faces, only hearing a 'boom,' a small flying ship dived down straight, smashing a big pit in the ground. And just as the flying ship was descending rapidly, a huge lion flew out from the escape window of the flying ship, and in the next second, it flashed to Suisui's side and hugged her tightly.

Aiven opened his eyes wide.

Teleportation?

How could this be... when did the master awaken his talent?

'BOOM—'

The ground was smashed into a big pit, the dust was stirred into a circle of outline, and in the rising dust, a huge lion lay in the giant pit.

Qiao Suisui felt herself lying in a soft and solid embrace.

Just as she estimated, as long as she entered danger, the system could activate the passive skill, just like the first time she traveled here, only the passive skill at that time was fragrance, but this time it was a protective shield; others could only see golden holy light lingering around her with the naked eye. She remembered that the day she was auctioned was when the passive skill was activated in danger, so she took a risk, and sure enough, the system wouldn't let her die just like that.

Her touch was a piece of fluff, and she suddenly opened her eyes wide.

How could there be a lion? Just now it seemed to hear Luka's voice, could it be...

She propped up her body with her arms and found the huge lion lying under her, at this time closing its eyes and motionless, looking like it had no breath or heartbeat.
