Chapter 168
The people in the meeting room were all present, all four men were there, and Qiao Suisui listened to Sang Yan's description of the whole process with them. Since they parted last time, he had been staying in the Freedom Alliance to protect the Archbishop's safety. The Archbishop took the initiative to stand up and was willing to act as a witness to announce the crimes of the federal high-level to the entire interstellar. Because of his special status, his credibility was very high to the beastmen, and he was a very important part of the subsequent proof.
Ka'er quickly captured clues during his description and frowned: "It seems to be done by the Scavenger, I'm familiar with this routine."
"Gaimailun, A Yao, and I took turns on duty, but the Archbishop was still assassinated." Sang Yan's guilty eyes looked at Qiao Suisui and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't do what you told me well."
Qiao Suisui shook her head hurriedly, "I believe you, we all tried our best. It's just that the Archbishop's whereabouts have always been very secret, and it took us some effort to find him. How did the Scavenger find him?"
Ka'er saw several people staring at him in unison, raised his eyebrows high, spread his hands and said: "Why look at me, I've already quit the group."
"The Scavenger let you quit?" Laiboli asked.
"I quit in my heart, so what?" Ka'er said.
Qiao Suisui spoke for him: "It wouldn't be Ka'er who leaked the secret, I didn't tell him the Archbishop's whereabouts at all. I only told..."
Halfway through, she paused.
The men looked at her, seeing a flash of hesitation on her face, which was soon replaced by firmness.
"I only told Anubis, but it couldn't be him."
Laiboli saw her say it so categorically, and a flash of jealousy crossed his face. He said: "Human hearts are unpredictable. Perhaps he turned around and told his father or the Rebel Army, but there is a traitor in the Rebel Army."
Qiao Suisui frowned in thought. Zongfang sat beside her, unconcerned, and didn't say a word. Sang Yan hesitated for a while, but still said: "There is one thing, I'm not sure if it's related. I have been staying in the Freedom Alliance these days, and there, I met Lan Ze Laiboli."
Sang Yan didn't know Lan Ze, but the residents there always praised him. After a long time, he matched the Little Bishop with Lan Ze. In fact, they were originally unrelated people, just because that person had the background of the Ausilan royal family, and the person he had been thinking about was related to the Ausilan royal family, so he paid special attention.
Laiboli was a little surprised, "What is he doing there?"
Qiao Suisui had heard Lan Ze mention that period. Since they parted last time, she occasionally wondered if Lan Ze had gone to the Freedom Alliance, but she didn't expect him to really go back. If it weren't for the last unpleasantness, she would definitely believe that Sang Yan meeting Lan Ze there was a coincidence, but this time, she couldn't believe him as she believed Anubis.
Sang Yan said: "The local residents told me that Lan Ze has been looking for an old man, and has been frequently entering and exiting the Xuyan recently. Oh, Xuyan is the dividing line between the Freedom Alliance and the Stray Alliance. It is actually a canyon caused by a large crack on the ground, which divides these two areas into two. Now the area where the Stray Alliance is located is logically the territory of the Freedom Alliance."
The more Qiao Suisui thought about it, the more suspicious she felt. She habitually looked at Luka and asked: "What do you think?"
Luka had been silent since just now. After pondering for a while, he said: "Angsi reported to me a few days ago. He said the Rebel Army was secretly planning an action. The specific content is unknown, but there has been no movement in this action recently. I don't know if it was discovered by the Federation or if they changed their plan and retreated. In short, the death of the Archbishop and the sudden disappearance of the Rebel Army are not good signs."
As he spoke, he looked at Qiao Suisui and touched her head gently: "You have to be mentally prepared. Anubis is not taking the main road, but a small path that only a very few people can walk out of. This road is full of thorns, and it can even be said to be going against the current. Sui Sui, are you sure you want to walk this road with him?"
Once the question was asked, the room was silent. The men all looked at her, even Ka'er, who was usually smiling, had a serious expression. Qiao Suisui almost didn't hesitate and said: "Sure."
She was only staying temporarily for Anubis. If she wanted to change his ending, she had to manage the Rebel Army's affairs, which couldn't be bypassed.
"Why?" Laiboli was genuinely puzzled, his tone a little excited: "How long have you known him? What's so good about him that makes you do this for him?"
Zongfang's expression also sank after hearing her "Sure", but he was calm enough now and didn't explode.
Ka'er spread his arms on the back of the sofa and secretly applauded Laiboli in his heart. Although he was very annoyed by him, this question was asked well, and he finally did something human. If it were him asking, this little tiger would definitely ignore him. It just so happened that Laiboli asked what he wanted to ask, so he wouldn't annoy her.
Luka's expression didn't change, always keeping one hand on her back, expressing support with body language. He lowered his eyes, concealing the thoughts in his eyes. Although he could understand why that boy made her appreciate him, he still wanted to hear what she had to say.
Who would have thought that Qiao Suisui didn't intend to explain at all, but asked back: "Do you think that if Anubis's encounter today was replaced by any of you, I would stand by and watch?"
The men were all startled, and then their expressions were different. Laiboli was also obviously choked.
Sang Yan's black eyes were as bright as ever. He really wanted to ask, "If it were me, would you also go through fire and water for me?" But he quickly lowered his eyes, not daring to confirm, fearing self-humiliation.
Everyone heard her say: "Anubis's goodness doesn't need me to list and show it to others one by one, just like everyone's goodness is unique and doesn't need to be proven. He gave me the most sincere respect, and he made me feel for the first time in this world that I also have the power to protect others, instead of always being taken care of and protected."
Even saying, it was the short time she spent with Anubis that made her feel that she had other value here besides having children, and other ways to live.
And he fell in love with her without knowing that she was a female, could give birth, and was even an ancient human, etc. Anubis gave her absolute certainty. No matter what gender, identity, or situation she was in, what he liked was her most authentic self.
Qiao Suisui just wanted to repay this certainty twofold.
Because this was something she had never received before.
If they had to argue about fairness, it could only be said that what is needed most in a relationship is timing. She met Anubis when she was most eager to become stronger, and Anubis met her when he was most desperate. The two were in a relaxed and simple environment like a school. Although the days were short, the feelings were not shallow, but both needed time to identify whether it was friendship or love.
When she met Luka, he had a fiancée. When Laiboli expressed his affection for her, it was to compete with Luka. Needless to say, Zongfang, Qiao Suisui had experienced such disputes and tug-of-war with him, and it still couldn't be mentioned easily.
Laiboli closed his eyes, unwilling in his heart, but the habits of an emperor told him that many things could be planned slowly. He opened his eyes again, and there was only a gentle smile on his face.
He said: "Okay, then I won't stop you. But our ceremony is right in front of us, let's finish the ceremony first, and then you go solve his affairs, okay?"
