Qiao Suisui looked at his serious appearance and nodded without doubt.

What bad intentions could Sang Yan have?

Qiao Suisui felt that in terms of reliability, Luka was first, and Sang Yan was second.

At this moment, this man with no bad intentions, when Qiao Suisui turned around, tapped his finger lightly and sent a message to Gaimailun: 【Delete all those dirty things immediately.】

Qiao Suisui didn't plan to stay at the Xiaolou for long, so before leaving, she told Sang Yan her plans.

"You want to use the organization's power to investigate the truth of the Wing War?" Sang Yan was a bit surprised after hearing her thoughts. "Why do you suddenly want to investigate this?"

Qiao Suisui said, "It's not a sudden thought. I have always suspected that there is an unknown story behind the Wing War."

Although she had suspected it before, she felt she had no reason to stay in this world, so even if she had some guesses, she had no motivation to verify them. But now it was different. Through Lanze, she knew Anubis's ending, so she had to find a way to investigate what the Rebel Army's purpose was. If she could help him find the truth of that year, perhaps there would be a chance to turn around Bi's fate, so he wouldn't have to walk such a tragic path.

Sang Yan pondered for a moment and said, "If you really decide to investigate this dusty past, I have a way."

"What is it?"

"Among the Rebel Army that was surrounded and captured that year, three people escaped to the Freedom Alliance and received protection. One of them is in Kanbukun; he is the local Archbishop."

A glimmer of hope rose in Qiao Suisui's eyes, and she asked, "Does that mean if we can see him, we might be able to ask for the truth of that year?"

She now knew the A-side of the story, which was the situation from the Federal perspective as told by Luka and Ka'er. If she could ask about the Rebel Army's perspective from that year through this Archbishop, she could know the B-side of the story.

"However..." Sang Yan hesitated, looking at her and saying, "It might not be easy to see the Archbishop because he is the messenger of the Shoushen and often goes to various places to help those beastmen struggling in pain, so his whereabouts are uncertain. There is a way that might invite him to come and see us voluntarily..."

Qiao Suisui said hurriedly, "No matter what method it is, I want to try."

Sang Yan lowered his eyes, a thin layer of red covering his handsome face.

"The Dragon Clan descendants are rare, so they attach great importance to the pairing ceremony of each member, believing that they must receive the blessing of the Shoushen. At that time, the Archbishop will definitely be present to bestow the oracle upon the newcomers..." His voice was a bit tight, and he glanced at Qiao Suisui's expression as he spoke.

Qiao Suisui was stunned after hearing this, then blinked and smiled, saying, "That's easy. Why not hold a pairing ceremony in Kanbukun? It's just..."

The young girl's black-grape-like eyes stared straight at Sang Yan, her small face showing some ingratiating probing.

"It's just that it might wrong you."

Sang Yan's heartbeat instantly rose to 180. He swallowed and said hurriedly, "How could it be a wrong? I... I am willing."

Three days later, Kanbukun.

A 1.8-meter-tall bride held a pile of wedding dress skirts with muscular arms, standing in front of the church door.

"When does the ceremony start? Hiss, my feet hurt." Gaimailun was wearing size 44 high heels, standing majestically with his legs apart.

He winked at Sang Yan, who was wearing a tuxedo beside him, shyly hooked his arm around Sang Yan's, and said, "Brother Yan, walk slower later. It's my first time pairing, I'm not very skilled."

Sang Yan stood stiffly in place, not wanting to say a word.

Behind this "match made in heaven" couple stood Qiao Suisui, wearing a small tube-top dress, and A Yao, wearing a suit and bowtie. A Yao was honestly carrying a small flower basket. Qiao Suisui leaned behind Sang Yan and whispered, "Are you sure the Archbishop will really appear?"

Sang Yan turned his head and answered gently, "Don't worry, I have already asked my clansmen to pass the message to the Archbishop through special channels. He will definitely appear."

As soon as he finished speaking, the solemn bell rang, echoing above the entire church. The church doors slowly opened, and colorful glazed light spilled out from inside, gorgeous and colorful.

Sang Yan nudged Gaimailun with his elbow, and the latter immediately lowered his veil, covering his heavily made-up face. He "dignifiedly" held Sang Yan's arm, and the two stepped into the church side by side. A Yao grabbed a handful of petals from his small flower basket and sprinkled them on their heads.

At the end of the church, the Archbishop stood under the glazed glass roof, his whole body seemingly plated with a layer of holy light.

Sang Yan and Gaimailun stood side by side in front of the Archbishop. Gaimailun was wearing a wedding dress, and the heavily made-up face under the veil looked particularly ridiculous.

The Archbishop looked at this pair of absurd newcomers, but there was not a trace of anger on his face; instead, he revealed a gentle smile. He tapped Sang Yan and Gaimailun's foreheads with his fingertips and blessed them sincerely, "May the glory of the Shoushen shine upon your union, and may you find strength and happiness in each other's company."

Sang Yan's heart beat like a drum. He knew this was just a cover, but the Archbishop's blessing made him feel a trace of unease. Sang Yan was afraid that the Shoushen's oracle would really descend, and if he paired with the person he truly liked, he would lose the blessing, so he hurriedly explained, "Archbishop, actually this is just a way to lure you out, not a real pairing."

Gaimailun added from the side, "Yes, yes, I'm just a temporary actor." He lifted his veil, his false eyelashes fluttering, and squeezed out a "shy" smile.

The Archbishop was clearly not angry. He smiled slightly and said, "Regardless, may the blessing of the Shoushen be with you. Now, tell me your true purpose."

Sang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Qiao Suisui, signaling her to come forward. At the same time, the Archbishop noticed the look Sang Yan gave Qiao Suisui and smiled knowingly.

Qiao Suisui said, "Archbishop, I want to ask you about some past events."

The Archbishop looked at her kindly and nodded, "Child, feel free to say whatever is on your mind."

"Was the Wing War of that year really led by the Rebel Army? If so, what was the reason for the Rebel Army's sudden break with the Federation? If not, was there any other inside story?"

The Archbishop's expression instantly became serious, his originally kind eyes freezing into ice. After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, "Why do you want to know this?"

Qiao Suisui's eyes were firm as she said, "Because I must find out the truth of that year to help an important person, and perhaps even change his future fate."

The Archbishop sighed deeply, "If only someone had been as persistent as you back then. I will tell you what I know. But you must promise me that this truth can only be used for just purposes."

Qiao Suisui nodded solemnly, "I promise." — At the same time, at the far end. Interstellar Strategic Academy.

Anubis ran quickly toward Doctor Li's office. When he reached the door, he braked sharply, adjusted his breathing nervously, and his hand on the doorknob trembled slightly.

The next moment, the door was opened from inside.

"Why are you still standing there like a fool? Come in, quickly." Doctor Li's joy could not be hidden between his brows. He pulled Anubis in, and with a shift of his body, revealed a middle-aged man standing quietly by the window.

Anubis suppressed the excitement in his heart and called out from his throat with a sound mixed with joy and worry—

"Father."
