Chapter 311: Sophistry

~7 min read 1,318 words

Sinner, these two words appeared in Ge Xiaolun's mind.

He was... a sinner of Earth.

No, Lianfeng should be counted as well.

Could he be considered an accomplice?

At this moment, all sorts of thoughts surged in Ge Xiaolun's mind, making it impossible for him to concentrate on thinking.

And Zhixin was still communicating with the Triangle Body.

The next second, Zhixin grabbed Ge Xiaolun and pulled him back sharply.

This left Ge Xiaolun somewhat bewildered.

He did not understand what Zhixin was trying to do.

Zhixin naturally understood Ge Xiaolun's confusion, and she explained in a hurried tone: "The negotiations collapsed!"

"They are going to attack, let's go!"

Upon hearing this, Ge Xiaolun dared not let his mind wander.

He immediately spread his wings, fled the place with Zhixin, and returned to Earth.

After returning to Earth, Ge Xiaolun collapsed onto the ground.

"Xiao Lun, are you alright?" Zhixin hurriedly came over to support him.

Ge Xiaolun broke free from Zhixin's support.

"Zhixin, don't speak, let me be quiet, let me be quiet..."

As he spoke, Ge Xiaolun lay down wherever he was and stared blankly at the sky.

Zhixin stood quietly to the side.

After a long while, Ge Xiaolun struggled to get up.

The first thing he said after getting up was:

"Zhixin, I... have become a sinner of Earth. It was I who invited the wolf into the house and leaked Earth's information to the Triangle Body."

"I... I... I must go find Ye Cang. Right now, only Ye Cang, only Ye Cang—he is the Chief Engineer of Huaxia, he can handle this crisis!"

"Let's go!"

Before Ge Xiaolun could take a step, Lianfeng walked over from a distance, and from far away, she shouted.

"Xiao Lun, I've been waiting for you here for a long time. I just went to get something to eat. By the way, how did the negotiations with the Triangle Body Civilization go?"

As soon as the words fell, Ge Xiaolun immediately flew in front of Lianfeng.

He grabbed Lianfeng by the collar.

"Lianfeng!"

"Do you know that the two of us have already become sinners of Earth!"

"This is all because of you!"

Faced with Ge Xiaolun's sudden outburst, Lianfeng was very confused.

She struggled hard to break free from Ge Xiaolun's hand.

"Xiao Lun, have you lost your mind? What nonsense are you spouting? What sinner?"

"I go eat a meal and I become a sinner?!"

Lianfeng's words increased Ge Xiaolun's anger even more.

"Stop playing dumb with me, Lianfeng!"

"Do you know! The Triangle Body Civilization didn't know about Earth! But after I and Zhixin went to negotiate, they found out about Earth and decided to launch an invasion!"

"Lianfeng, do you still dare to say that the two of us aren't sinners!"

Ge Xiaolun's words made Lianfeng's heart skip a beat.

The... the worst-case scenario... had happened!

"Xiao Lun, calm down first," Lianfeng said. "Tell me the details of the negotiations; I don't know what happened over there."

"It won't be too late to be angry after you finish telling me!"

Thus, Ge Xiaolun suppressed his anger and told Lianfeng everything that had happened.

When Lianfeng finished listening, she let out a long sigh.

She had never dreamed that the Triangle Body Civilization's way of thinking was completely different from that of humans.

Damn, she hadn't known any of this before.

If she had known it would be like this, why act so arrogant?

But she could not admit that she was a sinner; if she admitted it, it would be all over!

She steadied her mind.

Only then did Lianfeng say: "Xiao Lun, this matter was my oversight, but it's not as you say—the two of us are not yet sinners."

"You have to understand, even if you hadn't gone, the Triangle Body would have come knocking sooner or later. We just moved that time up a little."

"How can that be considered being a sinner?"

Lianfeng's words were full of holes; it was nothing but an incompetent sophistry.

Ge Xiaolun was naturally not stupid to that extent.

"Lianfeng, do you think I'm stupid!" Ge Xiaolun said with an angry face.

"Is arriving now the same concept as arriving later?"

"Arriving later at least gives us time to prepare. But now, what are you going to let Earth use to fight the Triangle Body, which we know nothing about? Use our lives to fill the gap?"

"If our lives could fill the gap, that would be a good thing, but what if they can't! Then what!"

Having said this, Ge Xiaolun took a few deep breaths to calm his agitated emotions.

"Lianfeng, I am not going to waste words with you."

"I am going to find Ye Cang; right now, only Ye Cang can help!"

After saying this, Ge Xiaolun prepared to leave.

But as soon as Lianfeng heard that Ge Xiaolun was going to find Ye Cang, she immediately blocked his path.

Are you kidding me?

For Ge Xiaolun to go find Ye Cang would undoubtedly be an admission of his own crimes.

How could that be allowed!

Yet she had no reason to stop him.

But at this very moment, Lianfeng caught a glimpse of Zhixin standing to the side.

Instantly, she knew what to do.

She did not understand the Triangle Body, but the Angels certainly would; they have a civilization spanning a full 100,000 years!

It would be strange if they didn't!

Lianfeng immediately said: "Zhixin, you will help us, won't you?"

"As a defender of the Justice Order, you will help the Xiongbing Lian, right!"

Standing to the side, Zhixin did not expect Lianfeng to suddenly ask her.

Without hesitation, she nodded.

"The Triangle Body Civilization violates the Justice Order; as an Angel, I naturally will not stand idly by. I will help you as much as I can, and I believe Queen Kaisha will not refuse!"

After receiving Zhixin's definitive answer.

Lianfeng said: "Xiao Lun, Zhixin will help us, you don't need to be afraid!"

"It's just the Triangle Body, can they really turn the world upside down?"

"They lost the Stellar War 50,000 years ago, and 50,000 years later they will still lose! There is no need to find Ye Cang!"

"What, can Earth not function without Ye Cang!"

Watching him curse and argue incessantly.

Zhixin said cautiously: "Um, can I leave now?"

"I still want to spend a few more days with Zhao Xin, and then return to Queen Kaisha's side."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work on the following matters, Zhixin." Lianfeng nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Lianfeng had agreed, Zhixin quickly left the place.

However, after Zhixin left, she did not go to find Zhao Xin immediately, but instead returned to Kaisha's side.

She reported everything to Kaisha.

After listening, Kaisha sighed softly.

"Zhixin, you cannot make decisions for me now. You must understand that the Justice Order is already a thing of the past; what has replaced it is the Huaxia Order, which is the order that belongs to Ye Cang. Do you understand?"

"But since you have already promised them, it is not good to go back on your word. Go give the Xiongbing Lian a copy of the data on the Triangle Body Civilization."

"As for the Triangle Body, do not interfere too much. Ye Cang has not issued any orders, understand?"

Zhixin wanted to say something else, but as soon as she thought of Ye Cang, she quieted down.

Since her own Queen Kaisha had lost to him, what else was there to say.

Better to just keep a low profile.

Thus, Zhixin bowed.

"Yes, Queen Kaisha, I understand."

"Good, as long as you understand." Kaisha said. "Go. During this time, spend more time with Zhao Xin; he is your lifelong partner. You don't need to stay by my side all the time; I am not a Queen anymore!"
