Chapter 168 Meaning
The reception room was packed with people, including the four men. Qiao Suisui listened to Sang Yan's description of the whole process with them. Since the last separation, he has been staying in the Free Alliance to protect the Archbishop's safety. The Archbishop took the initiative to stand up as a witness and announce the crimes of the Federation's top leaders to the entire galaxy. Due to his special identity, he is very credible to the orcs and is a very important part of the subsequent proof.

Karl quickly caught the clues while listening to his description, frowned and said: "It seems that the scavenger did it. I am familiar with this routine."

"Gai Meilun, A Yao and I took turns on duty, but the archbishop was still assassinated." Sang Yan looked at Qiao Suisui with guilty eyes and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't do what you asked me to do."

Qiao Suisui quickly shook her head. "I believe you. We have tried our best. But the Archbishop's whereabouts have always been very secretive. It took us some effort to find him. How did the scavenger find him?"

Karl saw several people staring at him at the same time. He raised his eyebrows and spread his hands and said, "Why are you looking at me? I have already left the group."

"The Scavenger can make you quit?" asked Libery.

"I backed out in my heart, so what?" Carl said.

Qiao Susui spoke for him: "It couldn't be Carl who leaked the secret. I never told him the whereabouts of the Archbishop. I only..."

She paused halfway through her speech.

The men all looked at her and saw a flash of hesitation on her face, which was quickly replaced by determination.

"I only told Anubis, but it couldn't be him."

Seeing how decisive she was, Libery's face flashed with jealousy for a moment. He said, "People's minds are hard to predict. Maybe he told his father or the rebels, but there is a traitor among the rebels."

Qiao Sui Sui frowned as she thought about it. Zong Fang sat beside her without saying a word, as if it had nothing to do with her. Sang Yan hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up: "There is one thing that I'm not sure if it is related. I stayed in the Freedom Alliance these days, and there I met Lan Ze Liberi."

Sang Yan didn't know Lan Ze, but the residents there always praised him. After a long time, he matched the little bishop with Lan Ze. In fact, they were originally unrelated people, but because that person had a background in the Oslan royal family, and the person he had always been thinking about was related to the Oslan royal family, he paid special attention to him.

Libery was a little surprised, "What is he doing there?"

Qiao Suisui heard Lan Ze mention that period. After they parted last time, she occasionally wondered if Lan Ze had gone to the Freedom Alliance. She didn't expect that he really went back. If it weren't for the unpleasantness last time, she would definitely believe that Sang Yan's meeting Lan Ze there was accidental, but this time, she couldn't believe him as much as she believed in Anubis.

Sang Yan said: "Local residents told me that Lan Ze has been looking for an old man, and has been frequently going in and out of the Ruins Eye recently. Oh, the Ruins Eye is the dividing line between the Free Alliance and the Wandering Alliance. It is actually a canyon caused by a large crack in the ground, which divides the two areas into two. The area where the Wandering Alliance is now located should belong to the territory of the Free Alliance."

The more Qiao Suisui thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She turned to Luka out of habit and asked, "What do you think?"

Luka had been silent since just now. He thought for a while before saying, "Ans reported to me a few days ago that the rebels were secretly planning an operation. The specific content is unknown, but the operation has stopped recently. I don't know if it was discovered by the Federation or changed its plan and retreated. In short, the death of the archbishop and the sudden disappearance of the rebels are not a good sign."

As he spoke, he looked at Qiao Suisui and gently touched her head: "You have to be mentally prepared. Anubis is not walking on the main road, but a small road that only very few people can walk on. This road is full of thorns and can even be said to be going upstream. Suisui, are you sure you want to walk this road with him?"

As soon as the question was asked, the whole room fell silent. All the men looked at her. Even Karl, who was always smiling, had a serious expression on his face. Qiao Suisui said without hesitation, "Sure."

She had stayed temporarily just for Anubis. If she wanted to change his ending, she had to take care of the rebels, which was unavoidable.

"Why?" Libery was genuinely puzzled, and his tone was a little excited: "How long have you known him? What's so good about him that makes you do this for him?"

Zong Fang's expression darkened after hearing her "sure", but he was now calm enough not to explode.

Carl spread his arms on the back of the sofa and secretly applauded Liberi in his heart. Although he was annoyed by him, he asked a good question and finally did something. If he had asked the question, the little tiger would definitely ignore him. Liberi happened to ask what he wanted to ask, so he wouldn't annoy her.

Luka's expression did not change, and he kept one hand on her back, expressing his support with body language. He lowered his eyes to hide his thoughts. Although he could understand why she admired the boy, he still wanted to hear what she had to say.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Sui Sui didn't intend to explain at all, but just asked: "Do you think that if Anubis's experience today happened to any of you, I would stand idly by?"

The men were all startled, and then their expressions changed. Libery was obviously choked.

Sang Yan's black pupils were as bright as ever, and he really wanted to ask, "If it were me, would you also risk your life for me?" But he quickly lowered his eyes, not daring to confirm, for fear of humiliating himself.

Everyone heard her say, "I don't need to list all the good things about Anubis to show others, just like the good things about each of you are unique and don't need to be proven. He gave me the most sincere respect. He made me feel for the first time in this world that I also have the power to protect others, instead of always being taken care of and protected."

It could even be said that it was the short time she spent with Anubis that made her feel that she had other value and other ways to survive here besides giving birth to children.

He fell in love with her even though he didn't know that she was a female, fertile, or even an ancient human. Anubis gave her absolute certainty. No matter what her gender, identity, or situation, he liked her true self.

Qiao Susu just wants to double back this confidence.

Because this was something she had never had before.

If they had to argue about fairness, they could only say that timing is what matters most in relationships. She met Anubis when she was most eager to become stronger, and Anubis met her when he was most desperate. The two were in a relaxed and simple environment like school. Although the days were short, their feelings were not shallow. It was just that they both needed time to identify whether it was friendship or love.

When he met Luka, he already had a fiancée. When Liberi expressed his affection for her, it was to compete with Luka. Not to mention Zong Fang. Qiao Susu still cannot easily mention the disputes and tug-of-war between him and her.

Liberi closed his eyes, unwilling in his heart, but the emperor's habit told him that many things can be done slowly. When he opened his eyes again, there was only a gentle smile on his face.

He said, "Okay, I won't stop you. But our ceremony is right before our eyes. Let's finish the ceremony first, and then you can deal with his problem, okay?"
