Chapter 154: Reunion

Su Jian set Su Jin down on the ground and began to peel the skin stuck tightly to his face. Rip, rip, it wouldn't come off.

He applied more force; the face skin came off, but a good deal of scalp came with it.

Sigh, I shouldn't have stuck this skin on so tightly in the first place.

Awkward, I applied too much potion!

But at last my own face was once again exposed to the light of day.

Su Jian deliberately made a grimace at Su Jin.

"How is it? Seeing big brother, did you feel surprised? Did you feel unexpected?"

"No, from far away I already smelled your scent," Su Jin said honestly.

"What scent?"

"The scent of Su Jian, of course," Su Jin said.

Hearing this, Su Jian sniffed all over himself in confusion: "Except for the stench on that insect-person's outer skin, why can't I smell any other scent?"

"That's because big brother you can't smell it."

"For me, the scent of every person is different." As Su Jin spoke, she called out, "Big brother, don't rush to pull off the horns first; help me untie the ropes first. I'm still bound, and my hands and feet are numb."

Su Jian quickly put down the hand pulling at the horns and untied the ropes on Su Jin's body first.

While Su Jian was still untying the ropes for Su Jin over here, several rambunctious children over there had already discovered the truth!!

Who was it that beat them soundly and then tied them up like zongzi?

It turned out to be their own father (mother) (grandfather) (grandmother).

Disguising oneself shouldn't be played like this, striking such a vicious black hand!!

Letting us still think it was truly done by the insect-people.

We didn't even dare to take a deep breath.

The result was that it was actually you all! Waa waa waa, someone immediately burst into tears.

Too bullying; I beat "myself" for nothing again.

There were also children whose hands and feet had just been freed who immediately launched into a fierce battle with their own relatives.

Especially a boy from the Martial Class who actually kicked his own father in the face, giving him a single black eye, which caused the uncles and elders around them to cheer in unison.

Hearing the cheers, that boy actually got even more excited.

He wanted to continue kicking his father, but was immediately pinned down by his dad and beaten soundly, howling in pain.

Indeed, your father is still your father!

Watching this, Su Jian kept picking up laughter on the side.

Of course, where there was fighting, there were also surprises and exclamations, with people hugging and refusing to let go.

For example, Su Lan, who hadn't seen her father in over two years. She never expected to reunite with him here.

She threw herself into her father's arms, hugged his neck, and burst into loud tears; she had just thought she was going to die. Who could have thought that the next second she would meet a narrow escape from death and see her own father whom she had been longing for.

There were even those who, despite being beaten, still rushed forward to cling and beg for a hug upon this long-awaited reunion.

Just like Su Cheng!

Although angry that his father beat him again, having not seen him for several months, he still wanted to cling to him.

Of course, while some were fortunate to escape alive, others silently shed tears, their own children gone.

In fact, when Su the Clan Leader agreed to cooperate with Xu Yunrui to act out this play, everyone was mentally prepared.

A Mother Nest, this is a Mother Nest.

The Su family can obtain thirty percent of the resources from this Mother Nest.

Even without these thirty percent of resources, if the Patrol Office demands their cooperation, what else can they do?

Even if the bait consists entirely of children.

Of the seventy-nine children surrounded this time, four died; this is already considered not bad.

As for the remaining children who were deliberately let out to watch the spectacle and then secretly captured by others, no one knows what has become of them!

Because the operations over there had already begun long ago; they simply did not know to what extent they had been carried out.

In short, tonight no one in Mount Woniu will be able to sleep.

The sky gradually turned dark, and a huge bonfire was lit.

The two thousand cultivators of the Su family did not leave; they silently guarded the entrance to the Mother Nest.

The main force of the Patrol Office charged in several waves, totaling several thousand people.

The fighting underground was exceptionally fierce; from time to time, a booming sound could be heard.

The neighboring Mount Woniu was also brightly lit with lights; no one knew what they were up to!

Su Jian was still peeling off the insect armor over here.

Playing the insect-person has this one drawback: one must wear a layer of insect armor on the body.

It is both foul-smelling and sticky.

One must even struggle hard to tear it off.

When the second-to-last wave of people charged in, Su Hanlin did not follow Su Huchen into the Mother Nest but instead stayed outside.

He was the one who found the two siblings, Su Jian and Su Jin, and also helped Su Jian pull off the two pieces of insect armor on his lower back.

Oh my, this is truly much more tiring than pulling radishes.

Su Jian panted heavily, having used all the strength he had to suck milk.

"Just as much as I was happy back then to apply so much potion on myself to ensure the armor pieces wouldn't fall off randomly, just that much do I regret it now; that potion was too good at sticking. Once it sticks to you, you can't pull it off."

Hearing this, Su Hanlin laughed heartily.

Everyone around, whether they had finished removing the insect armor from their bodies or were still struggling hard to remove it, laughed loudly upon hearing this.

"Exactly. Back then, Xu Yunrui said we must stick tightly to the insect carapace; absolutely no piece can fall off casually. Otherwise, over two thousand people would be exposed to the enemy's sight."

To ensure they didn't expose themselves or their teammates, they all frantically applied the ointment.

As a result, taking it apart now is incredibly difficult.

Su Jin threw all the insect carapaces Su Jian had removed into Little Wu Tian. Little Wu Tian crunching and crunching, eating quite happily.

"Su Jin, those insect carapaces are useless; why are you still picking them up?" Seeing Su Jin's strange action, Su Jian couldn't help but speak.

"Dig a pit in the backyard when we return; it can be used for compost."

Su Jian: "..."

After finishing picking up her own family's, Su Jin ran to ask the uncles, aunts, and mothers-in-law next door; if they had any unwanted insect carapaces, she would take them away.

Because she acted generously and openly, and was well-behaved and proper when asking, and after taking them she would say thank you.

So all the cultivators of the Su family automatically gave her the removed insect carapaces.

Su Jin walked and picked up along the way, then saw someone; she was somewhat surprised and paused for a moment, then directly bypassed him to ask others.

Qi Yi looked at Su Jin, then at her father Su Zhang with his gloomy eyes, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

Su Zhang himself hadn't expected that more than three years later, he and his daughter would reunite in this manner; he watched his daughter picking up scrap!

And in front of so many schoolchildren from the entire grade.

Actually, before divorcing back then, Su Zhang had asked Su Jin if she could be taken away with him.

"Follow your father; your father will treat you extremely well. Your stepmother has three children of her own; she is an extremely gentle and patient woman; she will take very good care of you."

"I won't go. I don't trust your character. I certainly won't trust any stepmother. Leave quickly; if you dawdle any longer, I'll have Grandpa break your legs."

Since then, for more than three years, according to what Su Zhang knew, Su Jin had never once asked anyone about him.

She completely acted as if her own biological father didn't exist!

Truly better at cutting ties than he was!
