Chapter 159

Luka had heard of this past and added, "If the first Empire Sun was the pioneer and founder of Aosilan, then the second Empire Sun led Aosilan toward the light. His contribution was very important, but the evaluation of his private life was extremely polarized."

Qiao Suisui blinked and asked, "Is it because he fell in love with Lady Daixi?"

Laiboli continued, "Not entirely. Rumor has it that he and Lady Daixi also had a child, but he turned that child into a specimen after Lady Daixi gave birth."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Suisui's hands and feet instantly turned cold, and she subconsciously stroked her lower abdomen.

Zongfang was the person present least interested in this story. His gaze hadn't left Qiao Suisui since she entered, and at this moment, seeing her action, his expression was slightly startled.

Luka thought she was frightened and used his eyes to stop Laiboli from continuing. Thus, this bizarre and immoral story was lightly brushed aside as just a small matter before the banquet.

The dining table was set, and a huge crystal chandelier hung above, emitting a brilliant light that reflected off the golden walls and the intricately decorated long table. The long table was covered with an exquisite silk tablecloth, and the table was filled with gorgeous tableware and delicate silverware. In the center were sumptuous delicacies, every dish being something Qiao Suisui usually loved to eat.

Zongfang, Luka, Laiboli, and Ka'er sat opposite each other along the long table, while Qiao Suisui sat at the host's seat at the end of the long table.

Laiboli raised his glass first, looked at Qiao Suisui with a smile, and said, "Welcome home, Sui Sui."

The other three men also raised their wine glasses. In this warm moment, there was a rare lack of tension, and the atmosphere at the long table was harmonious.

Zongfang noticed that Qiao Suisui only sipped the wine in her glass and didn't drink it. A glint flashed in his eyes. The iced watermelon juice she had been fond of lately, which the servant had just brought, she hadn't touched either.

"Not feeling well?" he asked.

"No, I'm not," Qiao Suisui said.

Zongfang nodded and didn't speak.

Halfway through the dinner, Qiao Suisui dismissed the servants, leaving only the few of them in the room. She then told Luka and Laiboli about her findings from the Southern Battlefield from beginning to end, but omitted the matter of the chip. She felt that such important evidence could only be safely handed over when she personally gave it to Anubis.

"... So I want to go to the school tomorrow to see Anubis and hand over everything I found to him."

After Qiao Suisui finished speaking, Laiboli gave Luka a subtle look. Ka'er didn't even lift his eyelids; while secretly playing with her hand under the long table, he said sourly, "Go ahead, just return the dog tooth to him while you're at it."

The three men's gazes focused on her upon hearing this, asking, "What dog tooth?"

Qiao Suisui slapped the back of his hand in return and said, "I've said it many times, that's a wolf tooth."

Luka was startled and asked, "He gave you the Wolf King's wolf tooth?"

Surprise flashed in Laiboli's eyes. Zongfang sneered, and the wine glass in front of him shattered with a sound.

Qiao Suisui didn't understand why their reaction was so big and said, "Yeah, he gave it to me before I left. What is this thing? Is it very valuable?"

Ka'er leaned lazily against the back of his chair and continued, "Not valuable, not valuable at all, it's just that it can command all wolf beastmen."

?! Qiao Suisui couldn't sit still. She couldn't believe Ka'er's words, thinking he was being sarcastic, so she turned her face to look at Luka.

Luka was silent for a while and said, "To be precise, it can not only command the Wolf Clan, but also command the Rebel Army."

Danding Kangna was the Wolf King and also the leader of the Rebel Army. His prestige among the people went without saying. He had now been defeated by his own son, Anubis, and should have abdicated, but perhaps out of a father's responsibility and care, he had kept this news a secret. It was because he had already held the determination to die and confront the Federation to the end, and the less Anubis appeared, the less danger he would bear when the time came.

Zongfang said, "The cohesion of the Rebel Army is not something that the scumbags of the Federation can compare to. The Federation only has the advantage of being a huge force; its internal strength has long been torn apart. When something really happens, they will run faster than anyone else."

It was the first time Qiao Suisui had heard Zongfang acknowledge others, so it was conceivable that the Rebel Army was indeed not to be underestimated. She suddenly felt that this wolf tooth was a bit heavy.

"How about... I just return it to Anubis?" Perhaps Anubis only let her keep it in a moment of urgency; after all, they were being hunted by Scavengers at the time, and he was worried that if he were caught, the Federation would use such an important wolf tooth to lure the Rebel Army into an encirclement.

Yeah, the more Qiao Suisui thought about it, the more she felt this was the logic.

At this time, the men at the table tacitly did not tell her that the true meaning of the wolf tooth was to choose one person for life: if you live, he lives; if you die, he dies.

In the second half of the dinner, everyone was a bit distracted. Qiao Suisui was even more tasteless, feeling that the role of this wolf tooth was too important, and she was even a bit worried that she had lost it, wanting to go back to check.

During this time, Laiboli looked at Luka several times, but seeing that he never mentioned inviting Anubis to the Huangting, he couldn't help but frown.

Laiboli didn't think that young brat had any threat, but he knew Sui Sui valued him highly and had risked her life for him several times. So before leaving, he had suggested to Luka that he find Anubis and bring him back to balance Zongfang. After all, the time Sui Sui and Zongfang had the biggest fight was because of him.

Clearly, Sikesaisi had agreed at the time, so why was he not saying a word now?

Laiboli tilted his head and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, looked at Luka one last time, and then turned his head and said, "Sui Sui, I have good news for you."

"What?"

"Anubis is in the Huangting," Laiboli stared at Luka and asked in a declarative tone: "Right, Sikesaisi?"

Ka'er sat up straight abruptly, and Zongfang also raised his eyes, a sharpness that couldn't be hidden appearing in his silver pupils.

But Luka unhurriedly wiped his mouth with a napkin. After seeing Qiao Suisui's expectant gaze, he gave her an apologetic smile and said, "He doesn't want to come."

Several days ago.

"Why?" Anubis asked.

Luka stopped and extinguished his cigarette, turned to look at him: "I don't want her to put all her attention on one person."

Anubis frowned and asked, "Then what can I do if I go?"

Luka looked at his honest and bright eyes; the confusion in them at this moment did not look like a pretense. He said, "You don't know she cares about you?"

Anubis was stunned. After a long time, he lowered his eyes and said, "You misunderstood. She should only treat me as a friend..."

Although that kiss in the bridge hole made him unforgettable for life, and although she would smile and tease him with kisses, at most, they were just more than friends and less than lovers. Anubis had self-awareness; he knew where his love flowed and how intense it was, but he dared not believe that Qiao had the same degree of feeling.

He raised his eyes, looked at the mature and steady man in front of him, and said sincerely, "Qiao is a person with a very sensitive heart. She will subconsciously perceive and care about other people's emotions and gazes. As long as someone is slightly good to her, she will want to repay it twofold; similarly, if others are hot and cold to her, making her feel insecure, she will quickly withdraw."

"I think the care you see her having for me is perhaps because I met her expectations, and because she was grateful and moved, or felt she wanted to cherish it, that she spared no effort to help me."

"I won't go to the Huangting with you because that means I will bring trouble to her. Once Aosilan gets involved with the Rebel Army, that pure land of hers will be gone."

Anubis did not allow himself to become her burden, let alone allow her to fall into danger because of him.

Luka listened quietly until the end. Only then did he truly size up the young man in front of him—the calm black eyes, the highly explosive body. He had clearly just reached adulthood, yet his broad shoulders were already very responsible.

"If you encounter tricky things, you can come to me. I will help you once. This is a thank-you gift for telling me these words."

After saying this, Luka turned and left.

No, you guys don't want this kind of pure-hearted wild dog? What about Anubis's status? You just like bad men, right? Venmo me 50 votes to unlock bullying the bad man. (End of chapter)
