murderous look……
Although it was only for a moment, they were, after all, a family of law enforcement officers, and none of them were pushovers. When they sensed the murderous aura, they immediately shut their mouths and then quickly distanced themselves. Among them, an old man who seemed to be the head of the family opened his hands and raised them slightly to indicate that he was harmless.
"Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand!"
That's not what we meant!
Indeed, Su Luo couldn't figure out the intentions of these strange creatures either; otherwise, he wouldn't have just let a hint of killing intent flash across their faces, but would have attacked directly.
Even though she rode around the main city of Bailing in the Su family's bone spirit carriage, Su Luo, with time at her disposal, could easily go back and erase that memory.
"Dr. Su, please forgive us for our rudeness just now." As soon as the family leader spoke, the other strange old men who looked similar nodded in agreement, speaking in a kind and amiable manner, trying their best to appear more gentle and approachable.
Su Luo: ...
She wanted to see what these cunning people were really up to!
"I wonder what Dr. Su's opinion is on the Su family's main residence? Is it suitable for him to live there?"
"It's alright." Anyway, the air is thick with the scent of money. As for whether it looks good or not, that's another matter. It's expensive, that's all that matters.
And the last question was whether I could stay there?
Su Luo glanced at the Su family members present as if they were patients, thinking to herself, "Don't you all know whether this place is safe or not? Do you need to ask her?"
Besides, her aesthetic sense is different from Gui's. Most importantly, whether you can live there or not is none of her business, since she doesn't live there!
Upon hearing Su Luo's answer, the several old men from the Su family exchanged glances, revealing a hint of 'something' in their expressions.
"Ahem." The head of the Su family, who was at the head of the family, coughed lightly and continued to ask tentatively, "Since things are going well, Doctor Su, would you like to come and live at the Su family's main residence?"
"Although the Golden Cave looks magnificent, it's definitely not as comfortable to live in as our Su family headquarters."
What is all this about? Su Luo frowned, and the look in her eyes as she looked at the group of strange old men from the Su family became increasingly strange. It was as if they couldn't wait to find a son-in-law and wished that she would move into the Su family right away!
"No need. I think the Golden Cave is fine."
Su Luo replied coldly, but to everyone's surprise, the old men were not angry, but saddened!
sad?
Why am I sad? Shouldn't I have refused? No, why are these weirdos rushing to give her "benefits"? It can't be just because she's pretty!
Su Luo usually treats such inexplicable kindness with caution. No one will be nice to you for no reason, not even your own parents, let alone other people!
Humans are like this, and so are cunning.
"Seniors, if it weren't for seeing a doctor, I would have to take my leave now."
Seeing that Su Luo was about to leave, the old men panicked and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. After stammering and hesitating several times, they sighed inwardly, a resolute look flashing in their eyes. They looked at Su Luo and said, word by word, with unwavering determination.
"Dr. Su, the reason we invited you to the Su family this time is twofold: first, to see the Su family's conditions, and second, to establish a family connection."
"Recognizing relatives?!"
Now it was Su Luo's turn to be dumbfounded. This was the first time he had encountered such a bizarre operation in the apocalypse. These weirdos... there really wasn't a single one of them normal!
Before she came, she had imagined many possibilities, but she never expected it to be... a family reunion?!
Seeing Su Luo's puzzled expression, the head of the Su family continued, "We know that you claimed to be a member of the Su family when you were in Ye City. In that case, why not make the charade real and go with the flow to achieve a cunning and beautiful outcome?"
"What kind of nonsense is this?" Su Luo raised his hand to his forehead, shook his head, and couldn't bear to look at it or hear it.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean. As for the pronunciation of '簌' and '苏', it is indeed similar, but I'm sure my surname is Su, not '簌'."
"It wasn't before, but it can be now!" Several elders of the Su family persisted, using cryptic and insinuating words, their faces all similar as they tried to persuade and flatter Su Luo. But to Su Luo, it was more like Tang Sanzang chanting sutras in a movie before the apocalypse. He was completely exasperated and just wanted to ignore them!
"Alright!"
That's enough.
"It's so noisy it's making my head buzz!"
To be honest, this group of monsters did not launch any domain attacks on Su Luo, nor did they have any malice at all, but Su Luo felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, which was more tiring than fighting a battle.
"Why do you insist that I become the Su family's... cough, Gui?"
Su Luo almost blurted out "the Su family," but thankfully she realized her mistake, stopped herself in time, and changed her wording.
"That goes without saying, because Lord Su was originally a member of the Su family. After all, it was Lord Su himself who admitted it back in Yecheng." One of the elders rubbed his hands together and chuckled. At first glance, it seemed to make some sense, but upon closer inspection, it was all nonsense.
"It's just an alias, a coincidence. Is this how you let people into the Su family's house?"
“That’s not true!” another elder of the Su family quickly denied. “As a family of law enforcement officers, the Su family has extremely strict selection criteria for its members! But you are different!”
"Indeed, the Su family is still too inadequate and does not match your noble status. However, if you wish, you can do anything in any name of the Su family, and our Su family will definitely stand by your side!"
"If you don't agree!"
As they spoke, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. A cool breeze blew in from the open window, causing the wind chimes to whistle, foreshadowing the tense atmosphere between them that was about to erupt.
With a creak, the sound of an old, heavy bone door slowly opening came from behind. Su Luo raised an eyebrow, and with a flick of her wrist, the rudimentary form of the [Time] domain appeared in her hand.
Just as Su Luo was about to launch an attack, the other party suddenly spoke, pointing to the open bone door behind him. As if he had made up his mind, he stepped forward and said loudly, "Dr. Su, here is the accumulation of our Su family over thousands of years. You can choose whatever you like!"
"Consider this a gift from the Su family to the returning Divine Doctor Su!"
That's what he said, but Su Luo understood the implied meaning.
Once they accept the gift, they're considered part of the Su family, even if they have no blood relation to the Su family. It doesn't matter if they're just nominally affiliated with the Su family; as long as they're associated with the Su family, it's a victory for the Su family.
What strange things are these?
Is it really necessary?
Or perhaps there's something else fishy going on here?
However, money alone cannot sway her. The things that money can buy are nothing to Su Luo, and there's no need for them at all...
As the bone gate opened wide and the bone lamp lit up, Su Luo's pupils widened slightly the instant she could see what was inside, and the words she was about to say took a sudden turn.
"Since the senior members of the Su family have made such a strong request, then I will respectfully comply."
