Chapter 24: Awkward Brother and Sister

The negotiation with Hiiragi Hinata went even more smoothly than expected, especially after knowing her feelings for Futaba, Su Mu even dispelled the last hesitation, so he directly agreed to her request.

And the latter also decided to go to Tiandu after explaining what happened in his hands in the past few days.

……

After leaving the welfare home, Su Mu did not go directly to cultivate, but came to the No. 12 training ground where the team members were.

Although the girls have gone to play, there are still people here who are cultivating.

His little apprentice Dongsheng, as well as Lin Rui of the Vermilion Bird team.

The former is very focused, and to be more precise, he has become more diligent after being repaired by a girl a year younger than him the other day.

He wasn't even aware of his arrival.

But Lin Rui happened to be resting, she just nodded after seeing Su Mu, and then leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes.

Because they have been together for a while, Su Mu knows that this girl is not cold, but thinks that he came here to guide Dongsheng, she just doesn't want to disturb.

Su Mu laughed softly at this, and then sat down next to her under the girl's surprised gaze.

"Swordmaster?"

"You don't have to be so respectful in private." Su Mu said with a smile.

“…… Well, is there anything wrong with Brother Su Mu? ”

"It's nothing, just found a depressed girl and wanted to see if I could take advantage of it." Su Mu said seriously.

"Hey~" Lin Rui was immediately amused: "Brother Su Mu is also here to comfort me?" ”

"Also?" Su Mu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No, I don't even know the specific situation, so I want to gossip now." ”

"Hmm." Lin Rui nodded with a smile, and then said indifferently: "It's just that I quarreled with my family, it's not a big deal." ”

"Family? Just a high school student who was slapped in the street by you last time? ”

"Well, there are also his reasons, but the main thing is that I was reprimanded by my parents yesterday."

Hearing this, Su Mu was slightly stunned and asked, "Is it a rebellious period?" ”

"Rebellious Period...... Probably really, because I haven't been home since last weekend. An embarrassed smile appeared on the girl's face.

"Oh? Is it running away from home or being too busy at work? Su Mu asked curiously.

"Let's take half of each of them, I don't really want to go home, and I always have to become proficient as soon as possible to get new abilities." The girl whispered.

"The latter is just a reason to convince yourself, right?" Su Mu said with a smile.

“…… Probably yes. ”

The girl sighed slightly, then raised her head to look at Su Mu and asked, "Brother Su Mu and my brother are classmates, right?" What kind of person is he in your eyes? ”

Hearing the girl's sudden question, Su Mu glanced at her, and then replied, "Although he looks a little stupid, he is a person who can be a friend." ”

"Friends?" The girl was stunned for a moment.

"Well, he's probably my only friend of the same sex, although I rarely hang out with him." Su Mu said with a smile.

“…… It's a little unbelievable, I didn't expect someone like him to be recognized by you. The girl said with a dull face.

"Someone like him?"

Su Mu looked at the girl with some amusement: "I've heard the person concerned say that you confessed to 'that kind of person' when you were in the first year of junior high school, right?" ”

"Hmm!"

In an instant, the girl's cheeks turned red, and then she gritted her teeth and said, "I didn't expect that bastard to even say such a thing......"

"It seems to be true."

The girl sighed slowly and nodded: "It's true, but the more accurate time is the summer vacation when I graduated from elementary school." At that time, I had just received the "gift" and officially entered the circle of the powerful. So I was afraid that I would go further and further away from my brother, so I couldn't help but confess. ”

"And then dumped?"

“…… I suddenly felt Brother Su Mu's unexpected poisonous tongue, but it was indeed dumped, and that guy said that he only treated me as a sister. The girl said with a smile.

"He's not your real brother, is he?"

"How could I have chased him like this?" The girl sighed, and then said: "Actually, our family used to be a family of capable people, but the bloodline is thinner and thinner from generation to generation, and in my generation, I can only rely on 'gifts' to get mixed into this circle." And in the same way, there is my brother's original home. ”

"Oh? His family too? ”

"Well, his biological parents were originally in the organization, and my father was a comrade-in-arms in the same squad, but because of the War of the Two Realms, his biological parents died in a battle, so my parents adopted him home with no other relatives, I was 3 years old at that time, and he was 4 years old."

"Doesn't he know about the mighty?" Su Mu asked.

"Well, he's the only one left in his family, so my parents hope that he can marry and have children like a normal person, and then live an ordinary life."

Su Mu: I'm afraid that the expectation of "......" will not be realized.

Because the stronger the strength, the closer to the law, so even if Su Mu doesn't have the ability of the time system or the cause and effect system, he can also get a glimpse of the life trajectory of an ordinary person.

As for Lin Dao, it is obvious that he is destined to have nothing to do with ordinary, especially after he has a relationship with a witch from another world.

"Are you sure you can keep it hidden?"

“…… When he was a child, his father once asked someone to make psychological hints to him, so that when he encountered something that might cause suspicion, he would subconsciously regard it as a hallucination or special effect. ”

Su Mu: "......" If he loses the bet one day and wears women's clothes, your family will have at least half of the credit.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Su Mu's expression was a little strange, the girl asked, "Don't you agree with our approach?" ”

"It's not." Su Mu shook his head with a smile, and said with a pun: "I won't interfere in this kind of thing." ”

"Thank you, Brother Su Mu."

"So back to business, what's going on with you now?" Su Mu asked.

"I had a big fight with my brother, and then I completely turned my face, so I hid at the base." The girl said with a sigh.

"What is the reason for the quarrel?"

"He was going to have an offline meeting with a female netizen that day, so I habitually checked the other party's information, but the result was a little unexpected and I couldn't find anything, so I asked my brother to be careful of that woman. As a result, he turned against me. ”

Su Mu: "......" He probably understood the reason why the two siblings would develop to this point.

Then he asked, "I heard that you have stabbed a girl with whom he has a crush before?" ”

“…… Well. ”

Lin Rui nodded and explained: "Because I investigated at that time, that girl actually already had a boyfriend who was in high school, and the reason why she was ready to date my brother was because she knew that my family was relatively wealthy and wanted to leave a way out." Plus I had just experienced my first murder at the time, and I was a little emotionally unstable......"

Is it another investigation?

Su Mu sighed slightly and said, "He's not the leader of the alliance, you always investigate him like this, how can he bear it." ”

"I just don't want him to get hurt......"

"But you're hurting him by doing so." Su Mu shook his head slightly, and said, "He's not a child, what kind of friends do he make, what kind of girls are with him, isn't it good to let him be free?" ”

Hearing this, the girl's face changed slightly, if someone else said this to her, she would definitely not listen, but Su Mu was different, not to mention his strength, just that he could be so loved by these girls, it was enough to show that his emotional intelligence was trustworthy.

It's just that she still looked at Su Mu with some unwillingness: "But this woman this time may really have a problem......

"It's called Echoeve, right? Her identity is indeed somewhat special, but it is harmless. ”

"Huh?" Lin Rui was slightly stunned.

"And she's playing with your brother, it's just a stinking kindle." Su Mu said with a smile.

"......" Lin Rui looked at Su Mu blankly, and it wasn't until a while later that she bit her lower lip and nodded: "I understand." ”

"Go and apologize to him, with his character, he will definitely forgive you."

After speaking, Su Mu glanced at Dongsheng again, who still didn't notice his arrival, and after smiling slightly, he prepared to leave.

At this time, Lin Rui suddenly called out to him: "Brother Su Mu, can I ask you another question?" ”

"Huh?"

"You, who are also brothers, don't you develop as a couple no matter whether your sister is related to you by blood or not?"

“…… If the assumption is not true, I can't answer this question. ”

Su Mu hesitated slightly, then said with a smile: "But even if it's my own sister, I don't want to see them leave my side one day." ”
