"What do you want me to do?" Sumu Qiao asked.
Even when she was in this situation, there was no trace of flattery or pity in her tone.
Her chin was still slightly raised, maintaining the remaining pride in her bones.
Si Niannian took a deep breath and asked, "Who is the person behind you?"
Chi Zhiyu in the driver's seat looked at the rearview mirror in astonishment.
Is there someone behind Sumu Qiao
"What?" Su Muchiao looked surprised.
Si Niannian looked at her and repeated the question.
"Who is the person behind you?"
Before Su Muchiao could reply, Si Niannian added, "Since I'm asking you this, I have a certain degree of confidence. If you insist that no one is behind you, then I doubt your sincerity in cooperating."
"Since you are not sincere, you don't have to keep my promise, right?"
Sumu Qiao moved his body slightly and changed his sitting posture.
She was still injured and spent every minute and every second in pain.
"Then I need to know what your promise is first?" Su Muchiao did not deny that there was someone behind the scenes.
This made Chi Zhiyu even more shocked.
Is there really anyone
Si Niannian looked at Su Muqiao and said, "It is impossible to repair your golden elixir. Even if I can do it, I will not agree to it. That is Aunt Lu's punishment for you and the consequences of your karma. I cannot right to interfere.”
A flash of self-deprecating anger flashed in Su Muchiao's eyes, and she snorted, "Then what nonsense are you talking to me about here?"
The golden elixir cannot be repaired. If she wants to become a master again in this life, she will have to work many times more than ordinary people.
The point is, even with these efforts, there is no guarantee that you will achieve your goals.
After all, this is the world of cultivation, where martial arts is respected. Ordinary people who don't have golden elixirs and can't practice are destined to be inferior.
"I can protect the Su family from collapse." Si Niannian said lightly.
Su Muchiao narrowed his eyes, and then chuckled again.
"Si Niannian, are you okay with your head? I was just abandoned by my eldest sister, and now you are actually using the glory of the Su family to make a deal with me. Do you think this will have any appeal to me?"
Si Niannian said with determination, "Yes, even if you are abandoned by your sister, the Su family is still the most important in your heart. You have done all the evil things for your brother's future just to keep the Su family." Root Man Miao.”
"You are different from your sister. She has the Su family in her heart, but she also has you siblings. But you are different. In your heart, there is only the Su family."
Chi Zhiyu, who was in the driver's seat, was a little confused by this theory and didn't react for a long time.
But he didn't dare to interrupt and ask at this time, so he could only silently endure the scratching feeling in his heart.
There was silence in the car for a long time, and then there was another chuckle, coming from Sumu Qiao.
"Haha, Si Niannian, you and I have grown up together. In the years when An Luo left, I was almost the closest peer to you and Guan Bao from aristocratic families. But now I realize that I am not the same at all. Don’t even understand.”
Su Muchiao sighed, with a little sadness in his eyes.
"I never expected that in the end, the person who understands me best is actually you, who I have been secretly competing with in my heart."
"Okay, I promise you, I hope you will do what you say."
Without any hesitation, Sumu Qiao agreed.
Si Niannian nodded and asked the original question for the third time.
"Who is the person behind you?"
Sumu Qiao shook his head, "I don't know his true identity, or even whether he is a boy or a girl. Every time, he takes the initiative to contact me. The method is very traditional, and he sends handwritten letters to my home. "
"Do you still keep those letters?" Si Niannian asked quickly.
Sumu Qiao shook his head again, "I once wanted to keep those letters as an escape route, but I found that the words on them were all written with faded ink, and the person who wrote them wrote very lightly. Once the faded ink disappeared, There are no traces on the paper.”
Si Niannian's hand on his leg tightened little by little.
As she expected, the person hiding behind was very cautious and attentive.
"When did he first contact you?" Si Niannian asked again.
Sumu Qiao thought for a moment, "Eleven years ago."
"You were still a child at that time." Si Niannian was very puzzled by this.
Who would think of manipulating a child into doing something
Sumu Qiao changed his sitting posture again, but his expression did not change.
"Maybe this kid like me has something he needs, such as Lu Xi and, haha..."
Next, Su Muchiao took the initiative to explain many things without Si Niannian asking.
"In addition to occasionally asking me to do some things, that person was particularly interested in Lu Xiyu's affairs. When Lu Xiyu was imprisoned, I went to visit him for the first time, and that person asked me to go."
"Occasionally he would ask me to bring some books to Lu Xiyu. I knew there was information about their exchanges in there. I also tried to find it, but failed. I also asked Lu Xiyu after he was released from prison, but what did he do? Didn’t say anything.”
Si Niannian did not doubt Su Muchiao's words. Now that she had reached this point, she had no reason to lie anymore, unless she was a fool.
But obviously, Sumu Qiao is not stupid, she is smarter than anyone else.
"Why did you agree to be controlled by him?" Si Niannian asked the last question, "You are not a person who is willing to be controlled by others."
Su Muchiao's eyes flashed slightly, "The Su family has withered away in this life, and there are no collateral members. There are only three of our siblings in the direct line. At that time, my brother and I were still young. The big Su family was supported by my sister alone, and the appearance was glamorous. But inside…”
"All the major families in Beicheng have elders with advanced cultivation in charge. Only in this world where the strong are respected can no one dare to bully them. This is especially true for the four major families, but the Su family..."
Si Niannian understood what Su Muchiao meant, "Or is it for the Su family?"
There were faint tears in Sumu Qiao's eyes. She blinked and forced the tears back.
Nodding, "The Su family cannot fail."
This is a belief she has held on to since she was a child.
Si Niannian had finished asking all the questions, "Xiao Yu, drive."
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the door of Su's house.
Now that the seal on the Su family's door has been removed, it looks the same as before.
The door is open, leading directly to the main entrance of the villa.
That door is also open.
This has been a long-standing habit of the three siblings of the Su family. As long as one of the three does not go home, these doors will be left open for the person who has not returned home.
"We've arrived at your home, do you want to get off the car?" Si Niannian asked.
Sumu Qiao looked at the familiar door outside the car window, but it felt strangely strange at the moment.
His nose was slightly sour, and the liquid in his eyes wanted to flow out again.
She lowered her head, raised her hands to cover her eyes, and finally raised her head again until she managed to push back the tears.
"I have an apartment on Huangpu Street. Send me there, as long as you don't worry."
Si Niannian didn't say much, and just asked Chi Zhiyu to drive to the address Su Muchiao said.
After Sumu Qiao got off the car and went home, only Chi Zhiyu and Si Niannian were left in the car.
"Master, do you want me to find someone to keep an eye on her? What if she runs away?" Chi Zhiyu turned the car and drove towards Si's house.
Si Niannian leaned back on the chair, frowning, and shook his head, "She can't run. Besides, she's still injured, so it's inconvenient to go anywhere."
There was one more important thing that Si Niannian didn't say.
That is, the current situation is that the world is so big, but there is no place for Su Muchiao.
Chi Zhiyu glanced at the rearview mirror, hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't hold back and asked the doubts in his heart.
"Master, how do you know there is someone behind Su Muchiao?"
"Zombie Gu." Si Niannian looked at the scenery falling backwards outside the car window and said, "Neither Lu Xi nor Su Muchiao knew how to use zombie Gu, but those river floats were all without exception. After being absorbed in cultivation and picking up the golden elixir, he was fed zombie Gu to keep his body stiff."
Chi Zhiyu didn't understand, "Didn't Lu Xiyu come from a time and space hole? Maybe he knew how to use zombie Gu in his previous life."
This is not impossible.
"So, I was just deceiving Sumu Qiao."
"Ah? Master, are you deceiving her?"
Chi Zhiyu was a little surprised, and then smiled, "As the saying goes, a soldier never tires of deceit, and Su Muchiao was actually deceived."
"But Master, Su Muchiao doesn't know who the person behind it is at all. He doesn't even know whether he is a man or a woman. So how should we find out?"
Si Niannian fell silent, and her mind was now in a state of confusion.
Too many things happened in just two days, and she needed time to sort them out.
Soon, they returned to Si's house.
Before getting out of the car, Si Niannian gave Chi Zhiyu another instruction.
"Xiao Yu, remember, today's conversation between Su Muchiao and I must be kept in your stomach and you cannot tell anyone."
Chi Zhiyu nodded seriously and said, "Master, don't worry, I know it in my heart. I am your disciple, and my loyalty and filial piety are only for you."
Si Niannian smiled slightly, raised her hand and patted his head.
"I'll give you a few days to arrange your work, ask for leave from your agent, and then come back to Tianqing Temple with me to formally pay homage to the ancestors."
"Yes, Master."
Si Niannian walked to the door, but before he could go in, he heard someone talking inside.
One of the people's voices was An Luo.
Si Niannian paused slightly, suddenly feeling timid and afraid to face An Luo.
She turned around, walked towards the side door, and went to Bu's house.
There is no one in the Bu family. Mr. Bu and the Si family have not returned yet from their trip.
Bu Chensu is also very busy these days and rarely goes home.
Si Niannian came to Bu Chensu's bedroom, lay on his bed and covered him with a quilt.
This feeling of being surrounded by a familiar scent made her gradually let down her guard and dispel her fatigue.
At night, Bu Chensu returned home, opened the door, and saw a bulging figure on the bed.
The moonlight shone in through the window and just fell on Si Niannian's face, making her sleeping face look particularly holy.
Bu Chensu smiled fondly, walked over lightly without turning on the light.
Sitting down by the bed, Bu Chensu looked at Si Niannian's sleeping face, and the smile on his face gradually faded away.
He raised his hand and caressed the furrow between Si Niannian's brows.
What is it that makes the baby so upset that his brows are furrowed even in his sleep
With a low murmur, Si Niannian slowly opened his sleepy eyes.
After seeing Bu Chensu sitting by the bed, she didn't get up. Instead, she leaned over, lay on his lap, and buried her head in his arms.
Si Niannian put his hands tightly around Bu Chensu's waist. Because he had just woken up, his voice was a little lazy and waxy.
"Brother Su, I miss you so much."
No matter how many words of love you say, they can't compete with a word of missing you.
No matter how cold-hearted you are, you can't withstand a word of coquettishness.
Bu Chensu's heart melted, and she hugged Si Niannian lovingly. With her other hand, she pulled up the quilt and covered Si Niannian's accidentally exposed skin.
"What's wrong with the baby?"
Bu Chensu asked in a low voice.
When Si Niannian woke up, he noticed the difference in her today.
The baby has something on her mind, and it troubles her very much.
Si Niannian continued to bury his head in Bu Chensu's arms, and said in a muffled voice, "I don't feel comfortable."
Bu Chensu was a little nervous, "Where do you feel uncomfortable? Tell Brother Su."
Si Niannian rubbed his head against Bu Chensu's body and shook his head, "I feel uncomfortable."
Bu Chensu tightened his breath, took a deep breath, picked up Si Niannian, and hugged him completely. He moved his legs slightly, perfectly avoiding important parts that were not in a stable state.
"If the baby has something on your mind, you can tell Brother Su."
Si Niannian put her arms around his neck and leaned her head close to his shoulder.
"I took Sumu Qiao away, will Luoluo blame me?"
"Although Lu Xi was the one who killed Uncle Owen, Su Muchiao was also involved. Luoluo regarded Uncle Owen as a family member and hated Su Muchiao, but I took her away."
Si Niannian's voice was still muffled, and his tone was a bit helpless and helpless.
"When I just came home, I heard Luo Luo's voice and didn't dare to go in. I didn't know how to face Luo Luo. Brother Su, do you think Luo Luo will be angry with me?"
Bu Chen Su gently stroked the back of her head, then held her head up.
"The baby actually cares about An Luo so much, I'm even jealous."
Bu Chensu said it seriously, Si Niannian pouted, "Brother Su is so stingy."
She rested her head on Bu Chensu's shoulder again.
Bu Chensu smiled, "Just as you care about An Luo, she also cares about you, so she won't be easily angry with you, just like you won't be angry with her."
"Really?" Si Niannian raised his head.
Bu Chensu pinched her cheek, "If she was really angry with you, why would she wait for you at home, huh?"
Si Niannian's eyes lit up, and the worries in his heart were finally dispelled.
"Lolo must have come to me for something else. I'm going to find her now."
Deftly breaking away from Bu Chensu's arms, Si Niannian quickly put on his shoes and trotted out of the room.
Bu Chensu was left behind: "..."
Little heartless.
Si family.
When Si Niannian returned, only Si Xinghe and Zhou Zhou were sitting on the sofa watching TV in the living room.
To be precise, it was Zhou Qi who was sitting, and Si Xinghe was lying on the side with his legs draped over Zhou Qi's body.
"Uncle Third, Uncle Qi, where are Luoluo?" Si Niannian looked around, but did not see An Luo.
