Su Liang listened to the whole story of the strange rumor with a mixture of laughter and tears. Although most of the Lu family did not hear the speech made by Lord Snake at the family heads' meeting in person, the rumor that Lu Taipan was the protagonist can still be spread in the Lu family until now. For many people, this can be regarded as a recognition.
Faced with such rumors, Su Liang didn't even know where to start explaining - the mecha was real, Lu Taipan's madness was also real, and he calmed the rampage of the Lord of the Snake Cave, which was also true.
But why did the rumor formed by combining all the elements become so strange in the end?
Moreover, the more half-true and half-false rumors are, the more difficult it is to explain than real nonsense.
Of course, what needs to be explained still needs to be explained.
"Sister, this is not the case..."
Su Liang took a deep breath, sat next to his sister, and told Su Nuan about his experiences during this period in a serious tone.
The attack encountered in the outer courtyard of the snake cave; the redevelopment of the information gland; the cultivation of the Leia flower in the inner courtyard; the accidental loss of control of the snake master Lu Taipan while learning mecha, and then by accident, he discovered that his mental power could calm the snake master's rampage...
Su Liang explained it very carefully.
Of course, Su Liang simply omitted the beautiful scenes in the mecha and the little accidents that happened afterwards with a blush on her cheeks.
In fact, if it were the Su Liang of the past, even if facing Su Nuan’s questions, he probably wouldn’t tell the other party everything he had experienced. After all, over the years, the tendency to only report good news and not bad news, and to gloss over the situation has become an instinct.
But for some reason, Su Liang didn't want to hide these from Su Nuan at all today.
…
"...Anyway, that's probably what happened. Don't believe those weird rumors anymore! The head of the family isn't as scary as people say. He's a really nice person and takes special care of me." Su Liang said seriously, "Besides, I tell you, he's not some middle-aged old man at all. He's really handsome! I was very happy staying in the snake cave, really, very happy."
Su Liang ended with these words, glancing at Su Nuan's expression out of the corner of his eye a little uneasily.
When he was narrating just now, Su Liang racked his brains to choose the words so that his extremely magical experience during this period would not sound too thrilling. He was a little worried that Su Nuan would be worried.
His sister was a good person in every way, but everything she had experienced in the Lu family over the years, especially the many things that had happened to Su Liang, had already turned this gentle and meticulous woman into a frightened bird.
Su Nuan seems to be always worried and anxious.
Every time Su Liang mentioned his life to her, Su Nuan would keep asking questions. Even if Su Liang fooled her, the worry in the woman's eyes never faded.
And this time, Su Liang's life in the snake cave can be described as thrilling, which even involves the snake owner Lu Taipan and the development of the information gland...
Su Liang was prepared for his sister to become overly anxious and start to dig into the matter and nag about it, but he didn't expect that after listening to her, Su Nuan just sighed deeply, and then she smiled in relief.
"The people in the Snake Cave have taken such good care of you. Your information glands have finally returned to normal. No wonder you are so happy here..."
Seeing his sister let him off so easily, Su Liang himself suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"Why don't you keep asking questions like before..."
Su Liang held it in for a while, but finally couldn't help but mutter.
Then he got a roll of the eyes from Su Nuan.
"It's been so many years, why are you still so stupid?"
Su Nuan stretched out her finger and lightly touched Su Liang's forehead.
"Why would I need to listen to your nonsense? I've raised you for so many years. I can tell whether you're doing well or not just by looking at you."
Su Liang was stunned when he heard his sister's words.
Su Nuan's fingertips only lightly touched his forehead without using any force. Then, Su Nuan smiled and raised her hand to stroke Su Liang's head.
"Look, you finally have some flesh on your face, your complexion is good, and there's light in your eyes...it means you're really happy now." Su Nuan said, "If you're happy, I'm naturally relieved. Why should I nag you anymore? You're such a little fool."
"sister……"
Su Liang stared at Su Nuan blankly, and what flashed through his mind were the scenes in his previous life where he only reported good news and not bad news, and tried hard to disguise himself in front of Su Nuan.
At that time, Su Nuan kept asking him.
[Aliang, how are you doing? 】
[Aliang, are you happy? 】
…
My sister at that time was probably really, really worried about me.
Su Liang suddenly felt his nose a little sour.
Su Nuan's eyes were also slightly red.
After a moment, perhaps to hide her embarrassment, Su Nuan suddenly pointed at Su Liang's face in a reproachful manner.
"You've become prettier now that you've gained some flesh on your face. It's a good thing you're a beta now. If you really become an omega, with you calling me 'Master of the Family' all the time, people who know the Master will think that he really takes good care of you, while those who don't know will think that you've fallen in love with him. If that happens, I'll really have a headache..."
After opening the conversation, Su Nuan accidentally started chattering again.
"Sister, I just praised you for not nagging, and you started again..."
When Su Liang heard the words "I thought you liked the other person", her heartbeat suddenly started to skip a beat. She spoke instinctively, half in a coquettish and half complaining tone, changing the subject.
"Why, you've developed a temper after only being in the snake cave for a few days? I'm your sister, why can't I say anything to you..."
"I was wrong, sister, please forgive me, you are right to nag!"
…
Su Nuan looked at the young man in front of her who was pretending to beg for mercy and acting cute. She felt extremely relieved, but a trace of bitterness flashed through her heart.
Su Liang had suffered too much following him. In order not to make himself worry, no matter what grievances he suffered, Su Liang just smiled and perfunctorily dealt with them. Gradually, gradually, by the time Su Nuan reacted, Su Liang had become a boy who always had a smile on his face, and was gentle and considerate.
But there was never a smile in his eyes.
Until this moment, Su Nuan finally saw her brother again. He smiled brightly in front of her, without a trace of gloom in his eyes.
When Su Liang asked to talk about the snake cave before, Su Nuan was actually very worried. Until this moment, she finally let go of her worries completely. Looking at Su Liang's current appearance, there was a moment when Su Nuan wished that Su Liang would stay in the snake cave from now on, completely ignoring the disturbances of the outside world, and just live the life he wanted happily without having to pay attention to the troubles outside.
For example...
When Su Nuan thought of that "trouble", her smile froze.
In the following time, Su Nuan wanted to say something several times, but finally fell silent.
Su Nuan didn't hold it in until she was about to leave, then she frowned and made up her mind.
"Actually, seeing as how well you're living here, I shouldn't have given this to you."
When it was time to say goodbye, Su Nuan stood up and stopped at the door.
"But, he almost knelt down and begged me with tears. I couldn't bear to see such a grown man behave like that..."
She struggled for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh, then turned around, took out a cardboard box from her bag and handed it to Su Liang.
"Sister? This is..."
Su Liang looked at Su Nuan in confusion.
"This is what Master Lu asked me to pass on to you no matter what."
Su Nuan frowned and said heavily.
Su Liang: “…”
The smile on Su Liang's face faded.
He took the box and opened the lid expressionlessly.
What appeared in front of him was a familiar model - a model that had been smashed to pieces, with only fragments left. Now it had been carefully restored and was lying quietly in a cardboard box.
The model has been restored very well and is so detailed that if you don't look closely you can't even tell it was ever broken.
Now Su Liang's pheromones are almost fully developed, and today, he can already vaguely detect the pheromones of others. And on this model, the texture of every crack is permeated with Lu Zhizhao's aura.
Obviously, this is a model repaired by Lu Zhizhao himself.
Moreover, he spent a huge amount of energy on this, otherwise it would be impossible for such a strong aura to remain in it.
This was the model that Su Liang gave to Lu Zhizhao as a birthday gift, and was later broken by Ning Jiayi.
Below the model, there is a note with only three words on it.
【I was wrong. 】
The years of entanglement with Lu Zhizhao in the previous life had made Su Liang extremely familiar with his behavior patterns.
Just by looking at these three words, Su Liang could clearly outline what Lu Zhizhao wanted to say to him when he wrote these three words.
I was wrong.
I have reassembled the model you gave me.
Can we start over again...
…
But Su Liang looked at the model in the box. After a moment, he chuckled and took out the model he gave to Lu Zhizhao from the box with an indifferent attitude.
Then he put the note that read "I was wrong" back into the box.
Su Liang returned the cardboard box to Su Nuan.
Su Nuan looked at her brother in confusion. When she saw Su Liang actually picked up the model, the woman frowned suddenly.
"Aliang, what are you planning to do? Are you planning to continue to get involved with Master Lu by accepting this thing?"
At this moment, Su Nuan's face changed. The reason why she agreed to take the box from Lu Zhizhao and hand it over to Su Liang was because she had confidence in her younger brother. After all, Su Liang had made it very clear before that he would never get entangled with Lu Zhizhao again. Although his character seems gentle, he is actually extremely stubborn and will never change his mind once he makes a decision.
Su Nuan felt that Su Liang would at most take a look at the box and then quickly return the items. She could also take the box back and return it to Lu Zhizhao so that Lu Zhizhao would completely give up on Su Liang.
But what is happening now?
Su Liang picked up the model and walked to the display stand, then randomly found a corner and stuffed the model in. Compared to Su Nuan's nervousness, Su Liang's expression seemed very relaxed.
"How could I continue to get entangled with him? I'm not stupid." Su Liang muttered, then explained with a smile, "I have nothing to do with him anymore, but this is what I gave to him in the beginning. Now that he wants to return it, I'll just accept it. It's just right that we're even now." Looking at the repaired model, Su Liang sighed with a bit of regret, "This cost me a lot of money in the beginning. Although it's broken, maybe it can be sent to the charity primary school in District 48 and used as a toy for the kids there. By the way, sister, let me tell you, Lord Snake built a primary school in District 48 with free tuition and no restrictions on identity..."
Seeing that Su Liang was unconsciously talking about the legendary gentle, kind, considerate, handsome and very powerful Lord of the Snake Cave, Su Nuan interrupted him helplessly.
"You mean you want to donate it? But I'm worried that Master Lu doesn't think so..."
Su Nuan really didn't want Lu Zhizhao to continue to be involved with her brother, and she wanted to eliminate all hidden dangers at the source.
"If Lu Zhizhao is being long-winded, just tell him directly... I don't care."
The boy shrugged and said calmly.
"Whether he is right or not, what does it have to do with me?"
Deep in the snake cave, in the training ground.
“Ahhhh, help—”
In the empty exoskeleton combat skills training ground, someone let out a very miserable wail.
However, no matter how miserable it was, the person who spoke was still as fast as lightning, and his movements were so fast that only an afterimage was left.
However, the dark shadow chasing after him was even more terrifying.
His movements were not fast, but each seemingly random attack landed steadily on the spot where the man in front of him landed.
"it hurts!"
Xue Yinhuan narrowly avoided an attack and finally begged for mercy with tears in his eyes through his helmet.
“Boss… Boss ah ah ah… I was wrong, I was wrong. I will never again dare to think that you have regressed due to not having trained for so many days, and I will never again dream that I can hold out under your command for a little longer… Please forgive me ah ah ah…”
The young viper was almost in tears.
But as the absolute controller in the field, Lu Taipan ignored it.
Then, the next second, Xue Yinhuan, who had been screaming before, suddenly made a move and reached directly towards Lu Taipan.
Lu Taipan's expression remained unchanged, as if he had already predicted this extremely tricky and vicious attack.
He raised his hand.
“Boom—”
The alloy floor cracked instantly, and Xue Yinhuan dodged the attack with extremely terrifying speed.
However, before I could feel relieved, I felt a pain in my chest.
A crack actually appeared on the power armor on his exoskeleton chest.
The attack force was just about to penetrate the extremely thick power armor and crush his heart. But Xue Yinhuan knew very well that this "little bit" was deliberately let go by a certain man.
“Hoo…Hoo…”
This time, cold sweat really broke out on Xue Yinhuan's forehead.
"Boss," Xue Yinhuan steadied himself tremblingly in the distance, and then said dryly, "Why do I feel that you hit me particularly hard today?"
Lu Taipan: “…”
Xue Yinhuan: "It's almost as if he's venting his anger."
Lu Taipan didn't say anything.
Instead, the steward who was the referee couldn't help but blurt out: "That's not the case. Some people are so arrogant that they don't want to compete with the younger generation they look down on, but in the end they get..."
Then, the artificial intelligence received two gazes.
One was the unusually cold gaze of the Lord of the Snake Cave.
The other was the young Viper's incredulous gaze.
The butler froze instantly: "Xue Yinhuan, I think the master simply feels that you have been too lazy during this period of time, and needs you to strengthen your close combat skills."
Xue Yinhuan already understood everything at this point, and she was so angry that she jumped to her feet.
"I was wondering why Black Mamba and Chi Lian took on the mission today?! I thought they were just being lazy, but now it turns out they are just running for their lives... It's ok to run for their lives, but why didn't they inform me?! No, that's not right, they tried so hard to instigate me today just for this, so that I could take the blame?! These people are too filthy!"
The housekeeper looked at Xue Yinhuan with sympathy in disbelief.
Ever since he personally approved the item marked as belonging to Lu Zhizhao to enter the snake cave in the morning, Lu Taipan's pressure has been visibly low.
Only Xue Yinhuan came up unawares, foolishly thinking that he could curry favor with the Lord of the Snake Cave, and clamored to compete with him.
Lu Taipan had already walked to the side and began to replace the metal gloves that were worn out due to the strong impact.
As the buckle tightened, the man turned around expressionlessly, looked at Xue Yinhuan and said, "Come again."
"I'm not coming."
Xue Yinhuan said firmly.
As he spoke, he slipped towards the door.
"I feel good to be alive, really, Boss, please let me go!"
Lu Taipan lowered his eyes, shook his wrist, and carefully adjusted the metal structure on his wrist, but it did not hinder Xue Yinhuan's escape.
Until a report came to his terminal.
After clicking and reading the few extremely simple sentences inside, Lu Taipan's eyes sank.
"Ah, how could this happen? Our Master Su Liang actually accepted 'that'."
As if it was said deliberately for him to hear, the artificial intelligence exclaimed very loudly.
According to the report from the security guard at the door, when Su Nuan left the snake cave, the box she carried with her when she came in was not among the items she took with her.
The box came from Lu Zhizhao, who specifically asked him to hand it over to Su Liang - when entering the snake cave, Su Nuan repeated this several times with particular care.
"Oh."
After a long time, Lu Taipan suddenly sneered.
Hearing that laugh, the butler's electronic eye flashed, then it quickly retreated, putting some distance between itself and Lu Taipan.
As for Xue Yinhuan...
He had really bad luck today. Just before he was about to leave, the door in front of him suddenly turned red and locked with a "click".
Xue Yinhuan: “…”
The young and weak Viper turned his head in horror and looked at the sinister man behind him.
Very good. Now even someone as slow-witted as him could clearly sense the unusually cold aura coming from the Lord of the Snake Cave.
“…One more round.”
Lu Taipan said.
After a pause, the man calmly instructed the housekeeper, "Send a few people to Su Nuan's residence to strengthen security measures."
Butler: "Okay, the order has been conveyed."
The artificial intelligence endured it again and again, but finally couldn't help it and muttered secretly at the end.
"So you actually thought that Master Su Liang would not leave such a thing behind, right?"
Lu Taipan ignored it.
But his eyes became darker and colder than ever before.
The overflowing mental power was also gradually tainted with a certain violent and cold aura.
Sensing the change in his mental strength, Xue Yinhuan's face froze. He no longer cried pitifully as before, but slowly stood up in the corner.
"Wow, Boss, why do I feel like we're going to destroy another training ground today?"
He said with a wry smile.
Lu Taipan snorted and threw an extra high-lethal weapon to Xue Yinhuan.
Just as another unusual battle was about to begin, at this moment, Lu Taipan’s personal terminal flashed.
He received the call and took a look at the initiator of the call, then Lu Taipan paused.
After clicking on the communication, the young man's clear voice came from the headset.
"Master, I am not disturbing you, am I?"
Su Liang said in a low voice, sounding very happy.
"Um."
Lu Taipan responded.
"...Thank you very much for arranging for my sister to come and see me. I am really very, very happy."
"Your clearance originally allows family visits. No need to thank me."
The Lord of the Snake Cave's voice was cold.
However, the young Beta on the other end of the line was like a cat without any vigilance. His attitude was still so friendly and his voice was so soft.
"Master, I am here to bother you today because I want to ask you a question. The housekeeper once mentioned to me that you need a personal caregiver. Well, I want to ask, if I apply now... you, are you still in need of a personal caregiver?"
Lu Taipan: “…”
After a long silence, Lu Taipan's unusually calm voice came from Su Liang's communicator.
"I don't lack a personal caregiver. But I currently need a psychiatric counselor. I think you can do the job."
