Su Tong's explanation completely exceeded Su Mu's expectations.
After all, in the world where Su Mu originally lived, the surname Su was one of the most common surnames, and it was already a common existence for Su Mu.
And more importantly, even the people with the surname Su in the mind world really all originated from the royal family of the Longtuo Empire.
But in the final analysis, Su Mu, who had passed through, obviously did not possess the royal blood.
However, the various facts in front of him undoubtedly proved that Su Mu's blood really had certain characteristics very similar to those of the Longtuo imperial family, and it could even activate the flame blade candle shadow.
From this point of view, the so-called Su clan and Su Mu are really inextricably linked.
Therefore, Su Mu's next question, on the contrary, skipped the special about Su's bloodline, and directly pierced Su Tong's deepest secret:
"Since the trigger conditions for the flame blade candle shadow are so harsh, and your Royal Highness is completely unaware of martial arts, then for whom is the flame blade that Qin Liang's mouth allows you to take away?"
"Or... what does the flame blade candle shadow itself represent?"
…
In fact, Su Mu's problem at the moment was already buried in Su Mu's heart when Qin Liang asked Su Tong for his dissatisfaction.
The particularity of Su's bloodline previously confirmed Su Mu's guess.
When Qin Liang mentioned the so-called change, he specifically used "Let you take away the flame blade candle shadow" as the most important basis, and put it at the end of the words used to strengthen the emotions.
So about taking away the flame blade candle shadow, it can never be as simple as taking away a weapon.
And when Qin Liang said these words, the look in Su Mu's eyes was also very intriguing.
Coupled with Su Tong's own expression at this moment, Su Mu can almost be 100% sure that this flame blade placed between himself and Su Tong must have a more secret meaning.
However, when Su Mu was stripping away the cocoon, all the abnormalities were exposed to Su Tong.
The first to sigh was Qin Dong who was driving fast.
Even the first sentence Qin Dong said was not an answer to Su Mu at all, but to Su Tong, the princess in the carriage:
"His Majesty, the matter has come to this point, in fact, there is no need to hide it from him. No matter what considerations you made the decision at the time. Now that this matter has already happened, then it is both for you and him. There is no way to change the result."
"And as one of the parties, he, who has no chance to withdraw, really needs to know the cause and course of the matter, rather than accompany us through the danger in such a vague way."
…
Qin Dong's exhortation finally convinced Su Tong.
So after making up her mind, Su Tong's gaze again when she looked at Su Mushi, a few hints of redness flashed quickly.
Then he spoke more hastily, with a hidden story that even Su Mu couldn't even think of:
"Although I am indeed the loser in the power struggle, I actually have a simpler way to protect other people who have failed in the struggle. And the reason why I was chased by'that one' is also right. It is because I rejected this method and tried to bring the struggle within the empire onto the stage of the entire continent."
Su Tong said this, but the blush on his cheeks disappeared again.
And with a kind of indifference that is almost irrelevant to oneself, it states a paragraph about one's own choice:
"The conclusion they came to was that they wanted me to marry the successor of the political opponent, so that the forces I represented could quietly succumb to their rule. And the so-called flame blade candle shadow is this. The most important token of a marriage, or even the so-called'dowry'."
"But I rejected this marriage and left the empire with the candle shadow. So for the entire empire, whether it is me who refused to marry and absconded, or you, who had to get the candle shadow, cannot be taken by anyone. The known stain is the part that must be concealed or washed."
Su Tong looked at Su Mu seriously, silently pushed back the hilt of Zhuying’s sword, and then slowly added with an emotion between apology and sadness:
"I'm sorry to involve you in it, but I still lied to you about one thing. Feeding the sword with blood is indeed a lie. Using Su's blood to flow into the hilt is basically a means of dripping blood to recognize the Lord, as long as you are still dead. , Then the flame blade candle shadow will always only belong to you."
"If I can reach the Science Federation alive, you will still be able to enter the Magic Academy and continue your life as my fiancé. And if I can't achieve my goal, I am afraid that even if you have the Flame Blade Candle Shadow, you can only Under the shadow of the empire, they live incognito and live a life unknown to the world."
"The only good thing is that although Qin Liang will kill me because of the order of'that one', in violation of the family's ancestral instructions. But for you who also have royal blood, he still can't easily do it."
…
When Su Tong used an extremely calm tone to explain the bizarre matters related to marriage.
But there was nothing left in the tone, but the shyness that had passed by in a flash.
For Su Tong, it seemed that whether it was refusing to marry and flee, or giving the flame blade candle shadow to Su Mu, it was just a means to achieve her true goal.
It has nothing to do with expectations, and it has nothing to do with love!
So when Su Mu looked at the eyes of his "fiancee" in front of him, he unconsciously felt a little more pity:
"The promise you made when you awarded the candle shadow to me was that I would help you complete your ambitions after reaching the Science Federation. The dead can neither reach the Science Confederation, nor can they have any ambitions.”
"So, since I can't leave the flame blade candle shadow as this promise token, I will definitely try my best to make this promise between us become a reality."
While talking, Su Mu firmly grasped the hilt of Zhuying's sword again.
He neither mentioned the so-called marriage contract, nor mentioned Su Tong's previous concealment, but only used a sufficiently practical agreement to express his next move.
Since this forced marriage contract, even Su Tong is indifferent to it.
Su Mu naturally deliberately played down some ambiguities and used a more precise agreement to build an alliance between Su Mu and Su Tong.
And Su Mu's thoughts, for Su Tong, who is as astute as a tool, he immediately sensed what it meant.
So in Su Tong's originally indifferent tone, he still unconsciously revealed the cowardice and warmth that originated from human nature:
"Actually... I hope we are all alive!"
