When Qiao Suinian returned from the back garden, the banquet was almost over.

At this moment, Qiao Chuyang suddenly called out to him.

"Suinian, come with me for a moment."

Qiao Chuyang led Qiao Suinian into a room that resembled a study. Then, Qiao Chuyang took out a jet-black robe and placed it in front of Qiao Suinian.

"Next, he will be heading to the Tiger Legion's camp. Your only task is to protect him secretly and help him establish himself as a super genius. Do you understand?"

Qiao Chuyang spoke with his hands behind his back.

"As for this robe, wear it. With it, you can quietly stay by the side of time."

Qiao Suinian accepted the robe.

【Twin Shadows - Robe】

Quality: a

Attributes: Spirit Power +150. The wearer of the child robe can perfectly hide in the shadow of the wearer of the mother robe. When the wearer of the child robe and the wearer of the mother robe attack the same target, the damage is increased by 50%.

Description: Two robes, one black and one white, are like two extremes; the mother robe faces the sun, and the child robe faces the shadows, just like the fate of their owners.

"Fate?" Qiao Suinian smiled and then draped the Twin Shadows over his body.

He felt his mental strength suddenly become much stronger, and his perception of his surroundings became clearer, which was clearly thanks to the Twin Shadows.

"Hmm! Not bad. Don't worry, as long as you work hard, one day your name will be on the Qiao family's genealogy!" Qiao Chuyang patted Qiao Suinian on the shoulder.

"Okay, thank you, Uncle." Qiao Suinian smiled brightly.

When the Twin Shadows encountered Qiao Suiyue, Qiao Suiyue clearly felt that there was a power that she could control.

He tried to use that power, and his whole body instantly turned into a black shadow, perfectly merging with Qiao Suiyue, as if he was born to be Qiao Suiyue's shadow.

As Qiao Yueyue watched this scene, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his eyes. From now on, he was the Qiao family's super genius!

At this moment, Cao Zhuyue and Xiaoqing also returned from the back garden.

"Zhu Yue! You've come!"

Qiao Suiyue was clearly excited when she saw Cao Zhuyue.

You should know that the person in front of you is Cao Zhuyue, one of the four beauties of Kyoto, known as the Ice Queen!

Throughout history, which hero hasn't been fond of beautiful women?

In Qiao Yue's view, he was a super genius with two combat professions, and he and Cao Zhuyue were a perfect match. Coincidentally, their names both contained the character "yue" (moon), which was simply a destiny ordained by heaven.

However, Cao Zhuyue's attitude towards Qiao Suiyue was somewhat cold, and she only gave a simple greeting.

Qiao Yueyue immediately felt embarrassed, and at this moment, Xiao Qing, who was next to her, quickly spoke up.

"Young Master Qiao, it's not that my young lady doesn't want to talk to you, it's just that she was bullied in your Qiao family!"

"What?!" Qiao Yue's face instantly darkened. "Tell me, who did this?"

“We don’t know that person either, we only know that he was wearing a bronze mask,” Xiao Qing said truthfully.

"A bronze mask?" Qiao Suiyue was taken aback at first, then subconsciously looked at her own shadow.

In the Qiao family, he must be the only one wearing a bronze mask, right?

Qiao Suiyue was momentarily at a loss for words. If it really was Qiao Suinian, what should he do? Should he really go and cause trouble for Qiao Suinian?

"What's wrong, Young Master Qiao? You don't look too good. Is that person extremely important in the Qiao family?" Xiao Qing blinked and then continued. "Miss, I think we should leave. It's just a little bullying. Let's not make things difficult for Young Master Qiao."

"No...no! Wait for me!"

Qiao Suiyue's expression changed, and she quickly left, finding a place where Cao Zhuyue and the others couldn't see her. Then, with a flick of her maternal robe, Qiao Suiyue's figure was revealed.

"Did you bully Zhu Yue?"

"So, if that's the case, you're planning to fight me?" Qiao Suinian tilted his head with interest; he was indeed quite curious about his younger brother.

"Hmph! So what if I lay a hand on you? Don't forget! You're not a member of the Qiao family yet! Tell me, did you bully Zhu Yue?" Qiao Suiyue pressed.

"Yes, it's me." Qiao Suinian nodded generously.

"Come with me! Go apologize to Zhu Yue!" Qiao Suiyue said coldly.

Qiao Suinian's expression instantly turned somewhat strange.

"Did you pick up the wrong script? I don't remember the Qiao family having any 'simp' genes. Do you want to hear what you're saying? You want me to apologize for a woman?"

For a moment, Qiao Suinian couldn't tell whether Qiao Suiyue was truly stupid or pretending.

He'd actually break up with me for a woman? Don't forget, all his current glory is thanks to me. I'm the one who benefits him the most right now. Even if he's having a craving for sex, he wouldn't do something so stupid.

"Hmph! That's none of your business! Don't forget, you're just my shadow!" Qiao Suiyue said coldly.

Qiao Suinian was immediately amused.

"Okay! I'll listen to you then. Let's go apologize."

"You're smart to know what's good for you!" Qiao Suiyue finally smiled.

The two brothers then walked back, and the moment Xiao Qing saw Qiao Suinian, she exclaimed in surprise.

"Young Master Qiao! That's right, it's this guy! He's the one who bullied the young lady!"

"Don't worry, I've already taught him a lesson. He's just here to apologize to you..."

Before Qiao Suiyue could finish speaking, Qiao Suinian had already walked up to Xiaoqing and Cao Zhuyue.
