Chapter 412: The Second Brother Waiting for His Sister’s Return
Lu Shinian saw her looking a bit nervous and reassured her, "There won’t be too many changes, Ruan Ruan, don’t worry."Even though he said that, Lu Shinian knew very well that they hadn’t returned to the Federation for a year; just thinking about the Third Legion alone, there were bound to be many changes.
The legion couldn’t remain leaderless indefinitely. If no commander was chosen, and there wasn’t someone to stand firm, it would likely be swallowed by the other three legions.
Lu Shinian’s eyes deepened as he gazed into the distance, pondering something unknown.
One thing was certain: this return to the Federation would not be peaceful.
As soon as the starship entered Federation territory, Su Heyuan received the news.
He immediately sent someone to negotiate with the starship, but because Su Heyuan sent them in the name of "Your Majesty," Lu Shinian didn’t realize the person coming to assess the starship’s situation was Su Heyuan.
He just thought it was his cheap father and replied properly: [Commander of the Third Legion, Lu Shinian reporting.]
Upon seeing this reply, Su Heyuan laughed outright.
"Lu Shinian, at last, you’re here."
He wanted to see where exactly Lu Shinian had taken his sister.
Su Heyuan immediately sent a message back, ordering Lu Shinian to report directly to the Imperial Palace.
This order was something Lu Shinian had anticipated.
After glancing at the message, he didn’t respond but instead looked down and said to Su Ruan, "Ruan Ruan, I’ll take you and the baby home first, then I’ll report to the Imperial Palace."
"Do you need me to come with you?" Su Ruan asked.
Lu Shinian chuckled softly, "No need, I can handle His Majesty over there."
"Ruan Ruan just needs to rest at home more and also look after the baby."
Su Ruan thought about it and agreed; Lu Shinian should be able to handle His Majesty, so she should go home first to avoid making things worse.
"I’ll go home and tidy up first then."
The starship quickly arrived at Central Star.
Lu Shinian first took Su Ruan and the baby home, then he left again.
Su Ruan watched his figure as he walked away and suddenly said, "Hubby, the baby and I will be waiting for you at home."
Lu Shinian paused in his steps, turned back, and replied, "Alright."
Then he headed towards the Imperial Palace.
Within minutes, Lu Shinian appeared at the Imperial Palace.
The palace was quiet, with hardly anyone around.
As soon as Lu Shinian entered, he sensed an unusual atmosphere and frowned slightly, becoming more vigilant.
It seemed something unexpected had occurred at the palace too.
But he was never one to be fearful, and without Su Ruan by his side, he had fewer worries.
He wanted to see what exactly had happened in this palace.
Lu Shinian quickened his pace and reached the main hall.
In the main hall, on the high throne, sat someone familiar yet somewhat unexpected.
It was Su Heyuan.
Lu Shinian’s steps halted as he approached the center of the hall.
"Su Heyuan."
He almost pronounced the name word by word.
Su Heyuan was half lowering his head, holding his glasses in his hand, casually wiping them.
"Lu Shinian, long time no see," he said calmly.
Indeed, it had been a long time.
Counting the days, it had been over a year.
"Where’s Your Majesty?" Lu Shinian didn’t exchange pleasantries with Su Heyuan and asked directly.
Su Heyuan slowly put on his glasses, pushed them up, "Oh? You don’t know yet?"
"I’m the one who is Your Majesty now."
As for the former Your Majesty, who knows where that woman Lu Zhiya took him.
"Where’s Qin Cheng?" Lu Shinian asked bluntly.
Su Heyuan shrugged, "Who knows?"
"But I should be asking you, where’s my sister?"
Su Heyuan’s eyes suddenly sharpened.
"Where did you take my sister?"
"She’s at home," Lu Shinian replied.
He hadn’t had time to explain everything that had happened when he heard Su Heyuan say, "Bullshit!"
"My sister is not at home at all."
"She just got back." Lu Shinian frowned, his gaze falling on the evil beast hanging sneakily from Su Heyuan’s fingers.
"This..." He was about to ask about the evil beast when he heard Su Heyuan question, "Where did you hide my sister all this time?"
"Lu Shinian, you really went to great lengths to hide my sister, even abandoning the Third Legion, really something."
Lu Shinian: ...
"What nonsense are you talking?"
He frowned, "A lot has happened lately, I’ll explain it to you later."
His gaze fixed on the evil beast, and he asked again, "Why is the evil beast here with you?"
"Evil beast?" Su Heyuan was taken aback, looked down where Lu Shinian’s gaze led, and saw the little creature swinging on his fingers again.
He lifted it up and shook it.
"Are you talking about this little monster?"
"Your mother gave it to me."
"It even bit me, said its teeth are poisonous, and that I’m going to die soon."
Su Heyuan scoffed, "I don’t believe such things."
Even if he did, he would never show it in front of Lu Shinian.
A flash of surprise crossed Lu Shinian’s eyes, and then he said, "It’s telling the truth."
The evil beast’s body was highly toxic, not to mention its teeth.
Su Heyuan impatiently frowned, "Don’t change the subject, where’s my sister?"
"I’ve told you, she’s at home." Lu Shinian didn’t like Su Heyuan, but he was Su Ruan’s second brother after all.
If something really happened to him, Ruan Ruan would definitely be heartbroken.
Lu Shinian couldn’t bear to see Ruan Ruan sad, so of course, he wouldn’t just watch Su Heyuan die.
Thus, he looked directly at the evil beast and asked, "Evil beast, is there an antidote for your poison?"
The evil beast, having a great time, seemed to hear someone calling it, looked around in confusion, and then saw Lu Shinian.
It immediately jumped up.
"Destruction... Destruction!" How could he be here!
Lu Shinian was already accustomed to the evil beast’s strange way of addressing him, and he just continued asking, "Is there a way?"
The evil beast swallowed, clasped its little paws together, and rubbed them.
"Well... Su Ruan might be able to help."
Other than Su Ruan, it couldn’t think of any other good solution.
"In that case." Lu Shinian nodded slightly, "Su Heyuan, come home with me. You don’t believe Ruan Ruan’s at home, right?"
"I’ll take you back to see, and by the way, have Ruan Ruan check your poison."
Su Heyuan, hearing this, pondered for two seconds and reluctantly agreed.
He carried the evil beast and followed Lu Shinian to the Lu Family villa.
As soon as they reached the entrance, he saw a familiar figure running towards him.
Su Heyuan curled his lips, slung the little monster aside carelessly, adjusted his clothes, and cleared his throat, "Sister..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Su Ruan holding onto Lu Shinian beside her.
Su Heyuan: ...
